Кіріспе
Терри Пратчеттің ойдан шығарылған кейіпкері Джонни Максвелл – Терри Пратчеттің үш балалар кітабынан тұратын сериядағы ойдан шығарылған кейіпкер. Ол жас бала (бірінші кітапта он екі жаста, ал кейінгілерінде жасөспірім) және 20-шы ғасырдың соңындағы (қияли) типтік ағылшын қаласы Блэкбериде (сонымен қатар Пратчеттің "Жүк тасымалдаушылар" романының да оқиғасы осы қалада өтеді) өмір сүреді. Джоннидің отбасылық жағдайы қиын. Кітаптардың барысында оның ата-анасы ажырасып, ол анасымен бірге әдесіне көшіп барады. Бұл оның басқалар көре алмайтын нәрселерді көруіне себеп болуы мүмкін, мысалы, шетелдіктердің қарсы алушылықтары, әруақтар және уақыт саяхатшысы әйел. Дегенмен, олардың шынымен бар екенін және көптеген адамдардың әлемнің кереметтігін сезінуіне кедерілес фильтрлердің оған жоқ болуы да мүмкін (Пратчеттің сүйікті тақырыбы). Осы ерекшелігінен басқа, Джонни өте қалыпты жасөспірім. Оның досы Кирсти оның өзіне болатын ерекше оқиғаларды қарапайым қабылдап, ештеңе жасамауына жиі ашуланады. Оның әділдік сезімі күшті, сондықтан ол не болып жатқанын түсінбесе де, дұрыс нәрсе үшін күреседі. Пратчеттің айтуынша, Джонни Ричмал Кромптонның "Жақсы Уильям" кейіпкерінің 1990-шы жылдардағы ортада қалай болар еді деген идеяға негізделген.
Fictional character created by Terry Pratchett
Johnny Maxwell is a fictional character in a series of three children's books by Terry Pratchett. He is a young boy (twelve in the first book, but a teenager in the later ones) living in the (fictional) typical late 20th century English town of Blackbury (also the setting of Pratchett's Truckers). Johnny has a difficult home life. Over the course of the three books his parents split up and he and his mother move in with his grandfather. This may be why he starts seeing things no one else sees, including an alien surrender party, ghosts and a time travelling bag lady. On the other hand, it is possible that he sees them because they are actually there and he lacks the filters that stop most people noticing how amazing the world is (a favourite theme of Pratchett's). Apart from this tendency Johnny is almost unnaturally normal. His friend Kirsty often gets exasperated by his tendency to simply accept that strange things happen to him, rather than doing something about it. He has a strong sense of fair play, which leads to him fighting for what's right even when he has no idea what's going on. Pratchett has said that Johnny is based, very loosely, on an idea of what Richmal Crompton's Just William character would be like in a 1990s setting.

Топ
Джоннидің бір топ балалары бар, олар мектептегі топтарға қосылмағандықтан бір-бірімен араласады. Олар:
Johnny has a sort of a gang consisting of the kids who hang around with each other because they don't fit into any of the school cliques. They are:
Stephen 'Wobbler' Johnson. Johnny's best friend and the second main character in the book. He is overweight and heavily into computers, an expert at piracy. He wants to be a nerd, but they wouldn't let him join. It is his considered opinion that Johnny is mental. His real name is Stephen Johnson in the books, although the television adaptation of Johnny and the Bomb gives it as Walter. In Johnny and the Bomb Wobbler got stuck in 1941 due to the gang's actions in the past accidentally changing history so that he was never born and therefore couldn't return to the future where he didn't exist and grew up to be a billionaire calling himself Sir John (Sir Walter in the TV version) but, due to the time travel and multiple timelines involved, where and if this happened is questionable. Certainly a Wobbler returned successfully from 1941. Simon 'Bigmac' Wrigley. An asthmatic skinhead who is deeply embarrassed by his instinctive grasp of mathematics. He lives with his brother in a rundown tower block on the edge of Blackbury. He is not exactly a criminal but has a confused grasp of car ownership. He has a casual friendship with Yo less, and shows confusion when he is asked to justify why he has a jacket covered in swastikas and pro Hitler slogans. Wrigley hides his true emotions, and, as seen in Only You Can Save Mankind overtries to be, as he puts it "hard", hanging out near pubs with boys years older than he is. Wrigley is constantly bullied by his older brother, although he knocks his brother out during Johnny and the Dead. He is strangely intelligent, and is probably the third most intelligent in the gang, after Kirsty and Yo less. A running gag is his attraction to cars with the keys still in the ignition. He has apparently stolen and crashed the minister of education's car, and was thrown into juvenile hall. His favourite band is Heavy Mental. Wrigley's best friend is undoubtedly Wobbler, while he appears to dislike Kirsty. His relationship with Johnny is unclear, although he treats him with a mix of pity and cruelty. Yo less. A West Indian boy so nicknamed by Johnny because he doesn't say "Yo!". Interested in Star Trek, train spotting, Morris dancing and brass band music. His reaction to those who are surprised a black kid has such "uncool" hobbies varies from amusement to irritation. When faced with genuine racism he has a brittle anger that manifests itself in cold, almost emotionlessly delivered, sarcasm. Kirsty. (Also known as Sigourney, Kimberly, Klytemnestra and Kasandra). Unlike the rest of the gang, Kirsty is a highly organised person who knows exactly where she's going in life. She is highly intelligent but has very poor people skills, something she views as a character flaw in everyone else. She is trying to get Johnny's life organised since he is clearly incapable of doing it himself, but hasn't realised that he doesn't especially want his life organised. He finds her very easy to talk to since she never listens. Unlike her most obvious Discworld counterparts, Susan Sto Helit and Granny Weatherwax, Kirsty has a tendency to romanticise things hidden beneath her practicality and finds Johnny's down to Earth attitude to things almost as annoying as his lack of direction.

Стивен "Уобблер" Джонсон. Джоннидің ең жақын досы және кітаптағы екінші басты кейіпкер. Ол семіз, компьютерге әуес, пираттықпен айналысуда шебер. Өзін "ботаник" санаса да, олар оны қабылдамайды. Оның пікірінше, Джоннидің ақылы шалқа. Кітапта оның нағыз аты Стивен Джонсон, бірақ "Джонни мен бомба" телесериалында оны Уолтер деп атайды. "Джонни мен бомба" фильмінде, топтың өткенде жасаған қателігі салдарынан 1941 жылға тігіліп қалған Уобблер тарихты өзгертіп, ол ешқашан дүниеге келмегендіктен болашаққа орала алмайды. Ол өмірге келмей, өзін сэр Джон (телесериалда сэр Уолтер) деп атаған миллиардер болып өседі. Бірақ уақыт саяхаты мен көптеген уақыт желісінің болуына байланысты, мұның орын алғандығы күмәнді. Дегенмен, 1941 жылдан Уобблер сәтті оралды.

Саймон "Бигмак" Ригли. Астмамен ауыратын, математиканы сезімтал түсіне білетіндігі үшін ұялатын скинхед. Ол ағасымен бірге Блэкберидің шетіндегі қираған үйлерде тұрады. Ол қылмыскер емес, бірақ көлікке қатысты түсінігі шала. Йо Леспен жақын қарым-қатынаста болады және жакетіндегі свастика мен Гитлерге қатысты ұрандарды неліктен жапқандығын сұрағанда, шатасқандай көрінеді. Ригли өз сезімдерін жасырады және "Тек сен ғана адамзатты құтқара аласың" романында көрсетілгендей, өзін "қатал" көрсетуге тырысады, жасы үлкен жігіттермен пабтардың жанында жүреді. Риглиді ағасы үнемі мазақтайды, бірақ "Джонни мен өлгендер" фильмінде оны нокаутқа жібереді. Ол керемет зиялы, және Кирсти мен Йо Лестен кейін топтағы үшінші ең зиялы адам. Оның кілті әлі ішінде қалған машиналарға құштарлығы - әдеттегі қызық оқиға. Ол білім министрінің көлігін ұрлап, апатқа ұшыратқан, содан кейін жасөсперімдер үйіне жіберілген. Оның сүйікті тобы - Heavy Mental. Риглидің ең жақын досы, әрине, Уобблер, ал ол Кирстиді ұнатпайтын сияқты. Оның Джоннимен қарым-қатынасы белгісіз, бірақ оған аянышпен де, қатыгездікпен де қарайды.

Йо Лес. "Йо!" демейтіні үшін Джонни оны осылай атап кеткен. "Жұлдыздар жолы", пойызды қадағалау, Моррис биі және мыс оркестрінің музыкасына қызығады. Оның қара нәсілді баланың мұндай "керексіз" хоббилері бар екеніне таң қалғандарға реакциясы көңіл көтеруден ашуға дейін өзгереді. Нағыз расизмге тап болғанда, ол суық, эмоциясыз сарказммен білінетін ашуға толы.

When faced with genuine racism he has a brittle anger that manifests itself in cold, almost emotionlessly delivered, sarcasm. Kirsty. (Also known as Sigourney, Kimberly, Klytemnestra and Kasandra). Unlike the rest of the gang, Kirsty is a highly organised person who knows exactly where she's going in life. She is highly intelligent but has very poor people skills, something she views as a character flaw in everyone else. She is trying to get Johnny's life organised since he is clearly incapable of doing it himself, but hasn't realised that he doesn't especially want his life organised. He finds her very easy to talk to since she never listens. Unlike her most obvious Discworld counterparts, Susan Sto Helit and Granny Weatherwax, Kirsty has a tendency to romanticise things hidden beneath her practicality and finds Johnny's down to Earth attitude to things almost as annoying as his lack of direction.
Кирсти. (Сигорни, Кимберли, Клитемнестра және Касандра деп те атайды). Топтың қалған бөлігінен айырмашылығы, Кирсти өте ұйымдасқан адам және өмірде не істегісін біледі. Ол өте зиялы, бірақ адамдармен қарым-қатынаста нашар, оны баршаның кемшілігі деп санайды. Джоннидің өмірін ұйымдастыруға тырысады, өйткені ол мұны өзі істей алмайтыны анық, бірақ ол өмірін ұйымдастыруды қаламайтынын түсінбеген. Ол онымен сөйлесу оңай деп санайды, өйткені ол ешқашан тыңдамайды. Диск әлеміндегі аналогтарынан - Сьюзан Сто Хелит пен Бабуля Уэтервакс - айырмашылығы, Кирсти өзінің практикалық жағынан жасырын нәрселерді романтикалық сипаттауға бейім, ал Джоннидің қарапайым көзқарасын оның бағытсыздығынан гөрі жақтырмайды.
Johnny has a sort of a gang consisting of the kids who hang around with each other because they don't fit into any of the school cliques. They are:
Stephen 'Wobbler' Johnson. Johnny's best friend and the second main character in the book. He is overweight and heavily into computers, an expert at piracy. He wants to be a nerd, but they wouldn't let him join. It is his considered opinion that Johnny is mental. His real name is Stephen Johnson in the books, although the television adaptation of Johnny and the Bomb gives it as Walter. In Johnny and the Bomb Wobbler got stuck in 1941 due to the gang's actions in the past accidentally changing history so that he was never born and therefore couldn't return to the future where he didn't exist and grew up to be a billionaire calling himself Sir John (Sir Walter in the TV version) but, due to the time travel and multiple timelines involved, where and if this happened is questionable. Certainly a Wobbler returned successfully from 1941. Simon 'Bigmac' Wrigley. An asthmatic skinhead who is deeply embarrassed by his instinctive grasp of mathematics. He lives with his brother in a rundown tower block on the edge of Blackbury. He is not exactly a criminal but has a confused grasp of car ownership. He has a casual friendship with Yo less, and shows confusion when he is asked to justify why he has a jacket covered in swastikas and pro Hitler slogans. Wrigley hides his true emotions, and, as seen in Only You Can Save Mankind overtries to be, as he puts it "hard", hanging out near pubs with boys years older than he is. Wrigley is constantly bullied by his older brother, although he knocks his brother out during Johnny and the Dead. He is strangely intelligent, and is probably the third most intelligent in the gang, after Kirsty and Yo less. A running gag is his attraction to cars with the keys still in the ignition. He has apparently stolen and crashed the minister of education's car, and was thrown into juvenile hall. His favourite band is Heavy Mental. Wrigley's best friend is undoubtedly Wobbler, while he appears to dislike Kirsty. His relationship with Johnny is unclear, although he treats him with a mix of pity and cruelty. Yo less. A West Indian boy so nicknamed by Johnny because he doesn't say "Yo!". Interested in Star Trek, train spotting, Morris dancing and brass band music.
