Character Corners - Joseph OLD!

Name: Joseph

Age: 11 or so (where we currently are in Dead Inside, I think he's 12)

Gender: male

Quote: “And that’s awkward for you, not so much for me!”

Appearance: Shaggy black hair that falls into his steely blue eyes. Tall for his age. Typically wears a loose T-shirt over baggy jean shorts.

Weapon: a wooden sword

Side: Rebellion

Role: Distraction, mainly, but is also considered as an annoyance by some. He often takes on the role of Riku’s annoying little brother who teases him all the time, even though the two have no relation. Is liked by nearly everyone.

First appearance: ch25 of Falling to Pieces. Properly introduced in ch1 of Dead Inside

Personality: Confident and carefree, and not at all afraid to speak his mind. Is incredibly smart.

Full Bio: Joseph is nothing more than an 11-year-old boy. He’s a replica, or rather, an experiment that Vexen made when combining data. He wasn’t the only experiment, but is the only one left now. He’s incredibly smart, and has a ridiculous amount of WINNER sticks. He’s confident and carefree, wanting to be at the front of battle, even though his caretaker Vexen Replica number 29 forbids it. He’s ready to take on any challenge, no matter how dangerous, or how much trouble it might get him into.

Origin(not the in-story one): There was a scene I wrote (which I can’t give details about, due to the fact it hasn’t happened yet) in which Riku was absent, and Saix was being… well… Saix. I needed someone to be yelling at him. In my head, I knew it was some… random Replica. A young boy, I thought. And… slowly… that’s how Joseph formed. Magik helped me name him, and his appearance developed from something that is very stereotypical of me: black hair, blue eyes. His original character had him as talking almost non-stop, and unable to keep secrets at all. Of course, you still see that in his character now, but it isn’t nearly as obvious as it was in the original drafts.
