This redesign's been a while in the making and is the first actually full redesign John has had that isn't just a new form. I think it looks good in that its still recognizably him but also with some new features.
These are his... well, I hesitate to say 'primary forms' given that in most of the stories he's in he's either a living statue or plush, but these are the basic forms that that draws from.
John can switch between forms with the help of his collar - it's actually the same collar in all three forms; the pure purple version is a 'stealth' mode for when in feral or anthro forms, and then unfolds into the full thing when he's in Dire form.
In stealth mode, the collar passively drains his magical energy (a bit below his natural recovery speed) to both power itself and to store it in a mana crystal/capacitor.
In the Unfolded/Active mode that stored energy is then used to both boost his physical abilities (winged direwolf and all) and to give a temporary boost to his magical power that uses his own magic, given using too much external/stolen magic can have... corruptive effects.
Outside of any one-offs I might make, most stories involving John take place in the Lunar Academy stories by :usernameiconlionkinglover:
His Lycanroc form is unchanged from the last reference and he can still turn into plush or statue forms at will with a Plushmancy and Geomancy.
As a statue he can range from a perfectly colored recreation of his normal form, to a mixture of lighter and darker stone colors to mimic it, to solid colored stone. The material can be anything that would count as 'stone', tangentially including some metals, though he doesn't use those as much because they are right on the edge of what his Geomancy can control, which makes it more difficult for him to use (his ability to move as a statue effectively comes from him continuously reshaping himself with Geomancy, and the extra effort taken slows him down significantly).
As a plush he can adjust his size somewhat along with some features like how prominent the stitching is, whether his claws are hard plastic or fabric, etc
