✖BACKGROUND

One of the seven Apostles, and the first to be found by Aion. The supernatural powers he had made him a very weak child, and he was constantly sick and forced to take it easy. Tired of being protected by his sister and wanting to be healthy so she didn't have to worry about him, he accepted Aion's offer of becoming stronger and put Chrono's horns on his head.

The overwhelming power of the horns made him lose his sanity almost immediately, and as a result those at his orphanage became his first victims.

He can be very dangerous and unpredictable sometimes, so he is guarded by Fiore, who he has been known to confuse for his sister when his mental state is less than stellar. He constantly thinks about his dear sister Rosette, to the point of being obsessed, even if he can't seem to remember her face or what she was actually like. In his mind, she's a perfect being who admires his strength and loves only him.

Joshua used to be a very noble boy whose biggest dream was to become an explorer and see the Astral Line, but now he's an unhinged and morally bankrupt individual who frequently mixes dreams with reality.

If I missed anyone, just comment to let me know, because I did this spur of the moment and he's been here a wicked long time. YES THIS IS TWO YEARS LATE STFU.

If he's only talked to your character a couple times, and it wasn't about anything important, or he hasn't spoken to them since his memory wipe, they probably won't make the list, because then it would be an encyclopedia.

This way needs to be updated.

[ There's a pained cry and a clatter as several medical supplies and his PDA are knocked over in one of the hospital's supply closets, a pressed button breaking the filter. A pause, then another shriek, and that supply closet is TOTALLY getting trashed, with several thumps against the closed door. There are now way too many voices in his head that ring chillingly familiar. ]

Shut up! Shut up!

This girl needs some help. I can heal almost anything, but I don't think I can actually regenerate a limb on it's own. I don't want to risk healing it over and then making it impossible for it to be fixed.

Does anyone know a spell or have some way to back up my powers so they can regenerate? Lilith? This is an emergency.

Wow... How many months in a row has it been, now? The deities are so considerate, giving us some kind of schedule to expect! I'm just glad I'm not affected this weekend. There's too much I need to do.

It's such a pretty day. Nobody's hurt, right? Father? Azmaria? ...Chrono? Lilith? Everyone?

Rosette...

Fiore...

I'm glad you're not here. Never come back.


[ OOC; Obviously has to have the same vision as Doumeki, but remembering killing Fiore is pretty 'bawww', too. Links are IC visions. Who still even remembers the Sandalphon incident? ]

It's been two years. I'd forgotten what it felt like. I thought it was a curse, but I guess it's not.

My heartbeat. It's real.

I don't...want to know.

[ OOC; Pretend this was a bit earlier, before the curse hit. ]

( Private || Unhackable )

I'm moving out. I know I wasn't welcome in the first place, but most of you were still hospitable.

Thanks for...everything.

Yesterday was...um. Embarrassing. I don't even understand most of the things I said... But I'm sorry to anyone I offended. At least it only dictated words and not actions, right? So nothing weird happened.

I just made a fool out of myself...along with half the City. These curses are...really getting stale. Especially the one for Valentine's Day. Hasn't that been used a thousand times before? I thought the deities would get bored eventually.

I really don't understand what this one is supposed to be about. Is this just supposed to be a bunch of random but dramatic scenarios? That sounds like it could end badly.

Is everyone okay?

[ OOC; I had nothing planned with him, but feel free to harass him with crazies all you want. ]

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. But I can't borrow any sugar from myself. Sorry, I say. It's not a bother, I say.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Then who is my enemy? Who is my friend? A cup of sugar is a little too much to ask, and not good with root beer. It's too sweet, even for me. I still like a little bite, you know, and it takes it all away.

To go by who I've wronged, the list would never end. To go by who is still bitter over it... Only one's so vocal. So unforgiving. I should thank her for it, for saying what's true. You all make it too easy, and that just makes it such a bitter victory. All the sugar in the world can't make it easier to swallow. But I guess one has to try, because that's all that's left to make the days here pass.

Cirucci Thunderwitch, can I borrow a cup of sugar?

( Private || Unhackable )

I -

. . .

What I was before, I'm not... I'm not that anymore. I don't know if apologizing for the things I've done would be insulting or not, but if I've wronged you, then feel free to say whatever you want to me.

Just don't forgive me. Please don't forg

If there's anything I can do for anyone, please just let me know. I can heal almost anything.

Never look at me like that again. Just hate me. If you really love me, then ha

I'm sor



[ OOC; For those who missed it, Rosette and Co. managed to remove Joshua's horns for good. Unfortunately because of the length of time and the things he's done in the City, it didn't turn out as storybook as it did in canon. He's pretty much been hiding out in a small abandoned warehouse in the Underground since the first. ]

...

What the... This isn't my bed. This is the Cathedral. Why am I here?

Azmaria?

Rosette?

...Anyone?

[ OOC: Future!Joshua again~! Except this time not quite so far into the future. It's going to reflect canon, except they've been in the City this whole time. Totally stuck in future fantasy tiemz. WHERE'S HIS WIFEY. ]

[ Everything is recorded, and his voice has a sleepy, husky lilt to it. There's an incessant tapping in the background that follows no particular rhythm and occasionally interrupts a word. ]

I don't want to wait anymore. I won't wait anymore. I'd like those memories back. Yes, now, pretty please with a cherry and sprinkles on top.

The useless harlot of an Arrancar filled me in, but it's not enough. It's never enough. I need to know now. Who was able to take away my horns so long ago? Why was I killed? Why was it allowed? Why... Why... Why...?

It won't happen again. It will never happen again. This power is mine. She is mine. And that... That's all that matters. So I have to protect these things, you see. I need to know. Because it will never happen again.

Sister, Sister, let me protect you.

[ There's soft, breathy laughter. ]

I want to know.

That girl never showed up. Why did she want to know about my powers, then? I guess I should have gotten her name.

...Oh well.

By the way, Jenai. When Christmas is over, I'm killing you. Just so you know.

I don't like being dead in the winter. It's really inconvenient, and so cold... I guess I should I be grateful that I wasn't acting like a depraved zombie out of one of those films I saw here. I'd rather be the hero than a stupid zombie.

Then I could have fought the dinosaur!

Do we have any candy canes? It's almost Christmas, right? I want some candy canes.

( Private || Hackable )

There are people here who knew me before...even if I don't remember you. I have a question.

How did I die?

[ OOC; Joshua doesn't pay attention to your zombie fevers and your stopped clocks. FFFFF. ]
