Character Name: Josh Giles
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Washington, D.C.
Physical Appearance (Photo or description):
Standing at 5'11", Josh is notably muscular and toned, evidence of many years of hard training in martial arts, and has a slightly pale skin tone. He wears a simple black t-shirt overlaid with a purple hoodie jacket which is decorated with a yellow flame motif, jeans, a pair of red and white sneakers which are comfortably broken in, and a pair of personalized gauntlets which belonged to his grandfather. He also has piercing bright blue eyes and a messy mop of black emo hair which is streaked with purple of all things, damning almost all of his practicality but matching his fighting outfit quite well.
Jacket:
Gloves:
Good, Evil, or Neutral: Good.
Strengths: Despite his looks he is a skilled fighter, having trained in martial arts under his grandfather's particularly harsh tutelage since age 14. While proficient with melee weapons if need be, he usually disdains them in favor of his fists. He is also very athletic and focused, able to sprint for long periods without growing heavily fatigued or fighting off multiple opponents when need be, and is generally a well-rounded individual with a great enthusiam for survival, though not at the cost of innocent lives.
Weaknesses: His proficiency with firearms is slightly above the 'horrid' line; he won't shoot himself in the foot, but he won't hit the enemy too often either. His sarcastic "eternal optimist" agenda can also wear on people's nerves from time to time, though this has never gotten him into much trouble before. With the zombies, however, that may change.
Weapon Of Choice (Within reason): Josh feels most at home with his chosen pair of gloves on his hands, but he can use melee weapons if he desires to.
Personality: Despite his relatively harsh upbringing, Josh remains a moderate sarcastic and generally attempts to look on the brighter side of things. He is genuinely good-natured and charming, but at the same time fairly naive, though he will get serious if he feels the situation demands it. While killing zombies is his current hobby as there's not much else to do in Willamette at this point, he is mindful of the law and detests evil acts. He does not believe in survival at any cost, and tends to place the lives of others above his own. He will stop at nothing to protect all that he holds dear, but for the most part sees the zombies not as something truly deadly, but rather something to test his skills against.
Loyalty from Josh means you will have a friend who will forever be by your side and will be more than willing to get bloody and assist with any task, whatever it may be and regardless of what may happen. But all the same he does not take betrayal lightly, as even his ability to trust only reaches out so far given the circumstances.
History: Born to a wealthy American politician and a stay-at-home mother who passed away a few years after his birth, Josh had a somewhat normal yet at the same time dysfunctional early life in the huge city of Washington, D.C. While he wanted for little as his father's salary more than paid for everything they needed, he felt as though his father was slightly careless, more focused on his work than the family itself.
As the years passed and friction in the home increased he was eventually sent to live with his aunt in Willamette, Colorado, who had since remarried to a Japanese immigrant. Having been told of the situation beforehand, Josh was somewhat surprised to find that the strange foreign man was quite inviting when he arrived. The two would bond quickly over time through a subject the old man was more than willing to teach: martial arts. Though he was a very harsh teacher, he was never quite able to break Josh's snarky personality, and tolerated it because he learned quickly, to the point of where he wanted his newest student to join a pro circuit to show off all he had learned. That time would come and go quickly as he won an MMA tournament overseas before returning to America just in time for his final year of school, becoming something of a local celebrity overnight.
He would never get a chance to finish it, however, as a zombie outbreak happened one particular evening. His grandfather and grandmother managed to escape before it began, but Josh himself was not so lucky, having been out on the town the night of the outbreak.
Location At Time Of Outbreak:
At the time of the outbreak Josh had been located in the Willamette Parkview Mall, as he often was when not at school or at home training with his grandfather, browsing their wares and generally wasting time.
