Avery Johnson's behavior was often eccentric, delivering bizarre and outlandish speeches to boost the morale of those serving under him.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> However, as shown in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest|Contact Harvest]]'', he also was a no-nonsense NCO who cared deeply for the lives of his troops. Johnson believed in pushing his soldiers to their limit in training, in order to give them a better chance of surviving real combat.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page ??''</ref> | Avery Johnson's behavior was often eccentric, delivering bizarre and outlandish speeches to boost the morale of those serving under him.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> However, as shown in ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest|Contact Harvest]]'', he also was a no-nonsense NCO who cared deeply for the lives of his troops.

He was best known for his typical "[[Wikipedia:Gung-ho|gung-ho]]" attitude towards life, personal goals, and as a leader to his fellow Marines. This earned him a reputation, respect, and admiration from his subordinates and superiors alike. Johnson was a noted fan of "[[flip music]]", a style of music similar to the [[Wikipedia:Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] from the 21st century. He was also known as being one of a select few outside of the [[SPARTAN-II Program]] to befriend [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], a soldier with whom he fought alongside many times throughout the final months of the Human-Covenant War; ultimately dying in his arms after being critically injured. He has a large amount of respect for the SPARTAN-IIs, and appears to respect ''every'' human fighting for humanity, as well as the Sangheili when they joined forces with the UNSC | He was best known for his typical "[[Wikipedia:Gung-ho|gung-ho]]" attitude towards life, personal goals, and as a leader to his fellow Marines.

In return, Thel 'Vadam respects him as well as after his death, offering condolences to John, "I am sorry, Spartan" and "even in death, your Sergeant guides us all." | ||
In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', Johnson seemed energetic and well-humored, often cracking jokes, puns, and insults at the expense of the [[Covenant]] or even in response to UNSC transmissions, as shown in the following quote: | In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', Johnson seemed energetic and well-humored, often cracking jokes, puns, and insults at the expense of the [[Covenant]] or even in response to UNSC transmissions, as shown in the following quote: | ||
