JJ Maybank

Intro JJ was the loose cannon in The Pogues. He's the latest in a “long line of fishing, drinking, vendetta-holding salt-lifers who made their living off the water.” John B describes him as the “best surfer [he] knows.” JJ was erratic and often didn’t think before he acted. He was feisty and quick-tempered but also always up for a laugh and an adventure. He was sometimes a liability but is also brave and loyal to a fault, always ready to look out for and defend his friends at any turn.JJ was usually the life of the party and a trouble-maker as well. He tended to be irresponsible and didn't think about the consequences of his actions. He would always speaks his mind, even if it was hurtful. He was also not very good with emotions and comforting others, but he was loyal to his friends and would've do anything for them. He got himself and others in trouble a lot. When he wanted something, there was not a lot that can stop him from getting it. JJ also seemed to have anger issues, as he often had violent outbursts for seemingly no reason. The first plan JJ comes up with was usually something that included violence, like killing other people or threatening them. He got into fights a lot and his first solution was usually to fight others. He might have been like this because he didn't know any different from home. JJ liked to cover up his emotions and pain with humor. His loyalty was shown when he took the fall for Pope even though he knew that his dad would hit him again for this. JJ was also the one that the Pogues were usually worried about when they get into trouble, because all of them know that he might have gotten them into even more trouble by his dangerous actions. JJ was someone who didn't hesitate to get violent and hurt others, his threats did often become true.
