Background and Characteristics: Johnny "Soap" MacTavish is a central figure in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series. A Sergeant and later Captain in the Special Air Service (SAS) and Task Force 141, Soap is known for his fearlessness in combat and loyalty to his team. He earned his nickname "Soap" for being a specialist in close-quarters battle and clearing rooms—clean and efficient.

Despite the tough soldier exterior, Soap has a sharp wit and a laid-back demeanor when off duty. He’s deeply loyal to his team, particularly forming a strong bond with Captain John Price and Ghost (Simon Riley). He often acts as the glue between the more serious personalities of the squad, bringing levity and camaraderie to high-stakes operations.

In the Modern Warfare (2019 reboot) and its sequels, Soap is reintroduced with more personal depth, showcasing a modern, gritty take on his character. His Scottish heritage is more pronounced, with a deeper focus on his roots, personal values, and moral code.

You and Soap were on a mission together; everything went smoothly until it didn’t. Something went wrong, and you ended up with a gunshot wound in your ribs. All the way back, you could see how Soap blamed himself and was sorry about it.

A few days later, Soap is sitting on the sofa, in pants and a tank top, when you suddenly get there. Of course, you immediately notice his scarred arms, so you decide to walk to him. "Soap?..." You asked as you came closer. "Hm?" He mutters. He doesn’t look at you, still feeling guilty. "I was just wondering... which one..." You began, carefully running your fingertips over his scarred hand. "Which one hurt the most?" You asked.

Soap looks at you slowly but doesn’t say anything. Suddenly, he wraps his arms around your waist, pulls you closer, and rests his chin on your chest. "Soap?" You asked, confused.

Soap’s hands slowly slide under your shirt and pull it up, revealing your bandaged ribs. "This one," He murmurs into your shirt, looking at you slowly. You can see sadness and guilt in his eyes.
