His hair a slick black tone with brown eyes to match his frame, for his casual outfit he wears a black leather jacket. Crafted from leather in a timeless silhouette. It's finished with two chest pockets and minimal metal hardware. With a zip-closure, tab collar, long sleeves, and finally two chest pockets.

From them comes an intensity, an honesty, a gentleness. Perhaps this is what is meant by a gentleman, not one of weakness or trite politeness, but one of great spirit and noble ways.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personality-
Dislikes:
Cowards: Ever since the fight against a group of hoodlums his friend couldn't help but run away like a scardy cat. Not realizing the repercussions of it all, now if he finds people running away from a fight he'll look at them in disgust. Doesn't matter if the opponent is many times stronger, its better to die strong than run away.
(This only applies to battles)
Rats: Those disgusting fuckers are always running around the city, whether it'd be underneath the sewers or in the houses of people. When he sees one the man literally tries to stomp them to the ground until they can no longer move.
Children: Growing up he expected being an adult would be fun. He can do anything he put his mind too, which is true however as he got older he realized how annoying they are. All the crying, screaming, and lack of discipline makes his mental state almost crack with pressure.
Smartasses: While he can have a snarky attitude once in awhile he hates when others do the same to him. Nothing is worse than people making remarks about ones performance in battle or even judging their entire character.
Cats:
Those devious bastards always looking to cost trouble, whether it's messing with ones stuff by swatting it or the constant meowing Josh hates it all. When he sees a cat he just wants to kick it away, he'll try to remain calm but in his mind he hates all the hairballs and stuff.
Likes:
Loud music: Nothing soothes anyone other than music, but instead its loud and ear inducing. One cannot go a day without him blasting some metal band song all across the room.
Knives: Of course an assassin cannot be complete without their signature close range weapon. One would call him a knife enthusiast collecting many knives, from kitchen knives to military he cant get enough of the sleek design and craft many have.
Tattos: Tattoos signify a persons expression amongst the world, though many use them to just look cool. Ever since he was sixteen he recieved a tattoo on his entire neck, with skulls and flames.
Ramen: What can anyone say? Ramen is a delicacy in his eyes. All the different combinations of flavors and ramen brings a tear to his eye. If one could see him, the teen would eat almost five bowls of the stuff.
Soda: The fizzy drinks are a delicacy towards everybody, especially Josh. His favorite his dr.pepper, the strange taste takes getting used to but the fizz going down ones throat is wonderful.
Flaws:
Rash: Josh is prone to make rash decisions, similar to the whole shoot first and ask questions later quote. And he's the shoot portion, growing up he's usually a calm person but as he got involved with his buddy his decisions have become more risky.
Distant: After the events of his friend being locked up, his mood has changed drastically. The once happy go lucky young adult has changed to a more arrogant and distant individual. This doesnt impact his job as one has to get their hands dirty once in awhile.
Overconfident: Being a young man one always expects overconfidence. Heading straight first i to danger without a second thought of a plan, seeing an opponent he will jump straight into the action. Regardless if they are leagues stronger than him.
Not a good liar: Being a liar means lack of trust, and lack of trust means nobody will believe you. Like the boy who cried wolf, even if u tell the truth others will recognize your past behaviors and think your words are meaningless.
Habits:
Sharpening his knife: A strange habit towards regular people. He mostly sharpens the knife to calm himself down, wether it'd be sharpening a piece of wood or soap it would soothe his mind from the difficulties.
Tapping his foot:
A habit that many people go through, most will use this to signify waiting though at a angry pace. And anxiety and Josh is no exception, everytime when he's waiting he'll tap his foot frantically as if he was using drugs.
He sometimes use this to calm himself down in certain situations
Eating tons of sweets:
One may see him going to various stores getting every single candy he can catch his hands on. From chocolates, lollipops, and even dots (the candy) some might say he's obsessed.
Fears:
Abandonment: Like many individuals, he's afraid of being abandoned for his mistakes from the past. Abandonment can load to many psychological issues.
He feels as if he were the blame for his friend being caught by the police and sent to jail. The thought still haunts him to this day.
Goals:
Improve his assassinations to gain recognition:
Like anyone trying to gain recognition they need to be trusted, showcasing their skills, and lastly build friends to assist one in doing so.
In terms of assassinations, he's still a bit rusty as he is still used to the whole "killing people for money part" but its comforting to get at least a place to stay than on the streets.
He'll normally go for small-fry people, but even those won't give him respect. Still seen as prey to the animal kingdom one would say, if he can improve his tactics and methods of killing perhaps that will help in his goal.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Overall Personality:
To a friend, he is a sweet and caring individual who's willingness to help and cater to their needs is only outmatched by how fun he is to be around. Josh doesn't play around when it comes to friendship, he's basically on board for all the wacky, fun adventures be can get into with friends. If it leads to conflict he'll throw his fists just like any friend should. He isn't afraid to break a nail if it puts down someone who makes his buddy feel down. In this regard he's reliable enough to call into just about any situation, you need help because the rival gang kidnapped some of your guys and they lured you into a trap? Strangely enough, he's your guy.
He's quite friendly and has a tendency to ramble to others. He likes expelling pointless exposition like it's his passion in life. Whenever people bring questions into the fold that he's uncomfortable with answering, he (very poorly) acts as though he didn't hear them. For the most part, he's a trusting person who doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to people's negative traits.

-Powers-
Fighting Style:
Considering the fact that he uses a karambit knife he utilizes the fighting style known asPencak Silat as it uses a variety of stances, most noticably horse stance, which mimics ones posture while riding a stallion, is the most important posture of silat and fighters will typically train their bodies to hold the position for at least 10 minutes. The stances are taught along with basic footwork patterns where striking techniques can be utilized naturally so he normally uses his karambit knife to slash and fish-hook flesh with ease.
He uses a variety of grips in terms of his knife forward grip, reverse grip, and palming. In essence. The knife is pointing forward from the hand. Giving him lots of maneuverability and a slightly better reach. Mostly used for thrusting purposes, and lastly with palming he can conceal the knife inside the palm and along the underside of the forearm allowing the knife to be harder to see.
In terms of hand-to-hand he relies on boxing, more specifically the slugger style. A sluggers punches are often slow but have more body and follow through. This is advantageous in punching through an opponent’s guard and creating an opportunity to follow with further blows.
While he will ultimately lack mobility and may have difficulty pursuing fighters who are fast on their feet but that’s not always the case. Compared to swarmers and out-boxers, sluggers normally throw fewer but harder shots and rely less on combinations. Sluggers often throw predictable punching patterns (single punches with obvious leads) which can leave them open for counterpunching.
Main Fullbring Appearances:
"I am the lion, while your the gazzelle..."
Main Fullbring Name: Grey Shroud
Main Fullbring Level 1 Property:
This property is very simplistic at best, considering that Josh utilizes stealth ad well as poisons. This property fits him perfectly, he focuses on stealth as a means to sneak by an opponent only to attack them unexpectedly without them even knowing he was there.
In terms of the fullbring it aids in his stealth by masking his spiritual pressure and detection amongst those unfamiliar with him.
While using this fullbring it gives him active stealth, although for a brief period of time. The maximum would be two post at best.
In terms of the overall stealth aspect, it requires senses aabove or equal to 50 to see him. Although those with good presence and awareness can track him down easily.
TThe reiatsu cost to maintain this stealth is at least around 25. But this increases to a maximum of 75, which means he'll have to make decisions on when to sctually use this
Main Fullbring Level 2 Properties:
In terms of the fullbring it aids in his stealth by masking his spiritual pressure and detection amongst those unfamiliar with him.
While using this fullbring it gives him active stealth, although for a brief period of time. The maximum would be two post at best.
This also helps in stealth by creating natural pigments in his body, allowing hin to produce colors chemically. Allowing him to absorb some colors of light and reflect others.
Silent Footsteps:
The property allows Josh to concentrate his spiritual energy into his face allowing him to guide his steps on the edges of his feet. By walking on the blades, or outsides, of his feet, he can muffle the amount of sound that a normal footstep creates by both decreasing the amount of foot touching the ground and the amount of “kick” or “scraping” that occurs when the foot lifts.
Using this technique those with 50 points in Senses can't detect Josh, increased by an additional 50 for each point in Stealth Josh has, and reduced by 50 for every point in Anti-Stealth that someone has.
Costs 100 reiatsu to use and 50 per post
Using this technique those with 50 points in Senses can't detect Josh, increased by an additional 50 for each point in Stealth Josh has, and reduced by 50 for every point in Anti-Stealth that someone has.
Costs 100 reiatsu to use and 50 per post
Opponents with less than 50 Senses make it more difficult to see him
Smoke Cloud:
This properly allows for Josh to create a cloud of smoke around his general vicinity. This cloud of smoke is grey, with no effects similar to a regular one. This conceals the users presence mostly as a means of escape or attacks.
If movement is necessary, it can be used prior to movement in order to provide a wall of visual distraction that reduces the accuracy of enemy fire and temporarily deceives them to Josh's location.
The smoke can be blown away be regular one just like their real world counterpart, and can be predicted easily when his body turns grey..
Those with sense of 50 cannot see through the smoke, and can be countered by anti-stealth.
This ability lasts one post and cannot be used in multiple successions, meaning the user has to think when to use it effectively.
Those with sense of 50 cannot see through the smoke, and can be countered by anti-stealth.7
Anti-stealth counters this ability by the opponent having higher senses than the user. Also they can detect his reiatsu signature if he doesn't surpress it properly
This ability lasts one post and cannot be used in multiple successions, meaning the user has to think when to use it effectively.
The range of the smoke cloud is exactly 2 meters which reduces vision.
Smoke cloud cost 75 reiatsu total
Secondary Fullbring Appearances:
The secondary fullbring takes appearance of two knives that sweats a deadly corrosive venom. The knives themselves are made of steel creating a good edge retention and reduce the frequency of sharpening. Made of high-quality green resin, this material is known for its comfort, durability, strength, handle comfortable grip
Secondary Fullbring Properties:
The user specializes in poison based abilities, utilizing to strike various poisons inside the opponent. As of his current potential the poison can only cause nausea and vomiting.
As a whole poisons come in different types neurotoxin and hemotoxin..
Neurotoxicity is a form of toxicity in which a biological, chemical, or physical agent produces an adverse effect on the structure or function of the central and/or peripheral nervous system.
Causing a buildup of lactic acid within the body effecting the muscles effectiveness far as movement.
Hemotoxins damages the circulatory system and muscle tissue and causes swelling, hemorrhage. Usually contained within viper venom with various components that can promote or inhibit hemostatic mechanisms, including coagulation, fibrinolysis, platelet function, and vascular integrity.
Poison enhancement
This property allows Josh to coat his fullbring weapon with poison it allows him to initiate his strikes effectively.
While the strike is painless at first; opponents will start to feel a stinging sensation after about 1 post. The mark will be distinct as it has a horizontal slash along the opponents body. After 3 posts their will be a white blister formation that progresses to scarring and healing over a few weeks. After one post will see blue discoloration after the blister formation that progresses to ulcer formation at a total of five posts.
1 post: stinging sensation/blue discoloration
3 posts: severe itching and vomiting
5 post: muscle pain, lack of energy
These cost 75 reiatsu cost per tick
Corrosive Pond
This property allows Josh to plant his knives into the ground, causing an acid-like substance to appear from underneath the intended target area. The maximum meters at his current level can only exceed ten, in terms of how many he can create at one time he can create two.
In order to maintain this property he must constantly give out 200 reiatsu per post.
Poison knives:
This property allows Josh to throw knives at the enemy. Whats special about these knives are that their coated with poison, he can throw a total of ten knives at the cost of 70 reiatsu per knife.
Despite these knives coated with deadly poisons they follow the same properties of regular knives in the real world. Meaning they can be broken with ease or bent if the case may be.
At the cost of 100 reiatsu this ability will cause the opponents strength to be reduced if their HE is 0.
The poison causes muscle atrophy and gives an increase buildup of lactic acid causing the muscles to be torn and tense.
-History-
Birthplace: United States, California
Current Residence: Karakura Town
Memorable Figures: None
History: [Place below.]
Growing up Josh has lived an ordinary life. Had a decent childhood with plenty of friends, went to school, and even had a crush on a girl.
Yet its strange how someone can grow up without a mother figure, while his father never gave him the real details; he just said it was an accident involving cars. Despite this grief his father tried to do everything he can to ensure his life is set straight.
However he went to the wrong crowd at the age of seventeen, while he had friends they eventually went to the life of drugs. He usually is reluctant on these types of things but he had to fit in somehow.
Josh spent most of his early childhood and adolescence living in America. By all accounts, it was a fairly normal childhood too. He went to a normal school, had a few friends, and he generally didn’t do anything noteworthy. Josh did average in school, coming in neither first nor last.
Josh did still consider some of his classmates to be friends when they were younger, but they rarely actually hung out. Not all the boys wanted to talk about fighting or adult themes, and all the girls were firmly convinced that they had some kind of disease. When those two are put together, you end up with a child that spends a lot of time by themselves.
Upon arriving in Karakura Town, Josh did his best to blend in, or at least go unnoticed. He introduced herself just by his name now. If asked about his hobbies, he simply said he watches a lot of TV. It didn’t take long for Josh to start skipping out on school.
Then one night he went to Karakura central and while it has its good parts like all cities they have the bad parts of town and the outskirts of karakura was his first stop and boy was it interesting from the disturbing grimy setting to the garbage dumpster that smelled of expired food or a mattress filled with cockroaches, parked cars were everywhere, the smell of exhaust fumes, a piece newspaper blown in the wind, hopscotch drawn in chalk.
This was definitely signs of a bad neighborhood...his days were spent wandering the town, and his nights were spent at parties or clubs. He mostly did it because he wanted to be accepted by the crowd and not look "strange".
Today
Josh awoke with a start. Sweat gleaming from his head as bead after bead cascaded down and onto his soft, silk sheets. His breathing, initially ragged, grew more controlled as his stared into the open window that sat a few feet away from him revealing a somewhat downcast night sky. As if on cue a large, yet seemingly cute growl reverberated from his stomach, echoing across the four walls of the crappy apartment. Large, trunk like masses, slid across the sheets to reveal slender legs as he turned in place, his feet finding comfortable black slippers to tuck his toes into.
Emerging slowly from the bed in which he lay the fullbringer would shuffle lazily towards the fridge, a pair of dark boxers the only icon of clothing on his body despite the chilliness of the night air and the added chilliness of the air conditioner in his room. With a yawn he opened the fridge, his blue irises purveying the contents of the metal food preserver; a few chocolate bars, some left over pizza and a couple of sodas lay scattered within alongside what seemed to be an empty bucket of chicken.
Again the fullbringers stomach would growl unexpectedly at the display of eats before him as his blue irises slid out towards the open night sky. There would be few places open at this hour and his stomach. . . .this hunger. . . . there was only one thing that could satiate it at this time.
Heading towards his wardrobe Josh slipped on a loose fitting black shirt, a jacket, and finally his mask before fishing out a pair of black colored jeans and sneakers. Before walking towards his living room the man sat down on the couch and magazines and smart phone was there next to the ash tray smoke particles danced in on the inbound breeze, layering his smoke with a woody fragrance, reminding him of preserving salmon in fall. It wasn't yet thick enough to see but nonetheless it was there.
Shaking his head from side to side as she began flipping through the channels most of them featuring sports, movies, and worst of all news of uninteresting shit. "This is what people call news-worthy these days? Tch. He said to himself as he took another inhale of his cigarette.
The news was never "the news." It was population control made easy. Something in every home, carefully designed to be addictive and keep the sheeple in their place. Fear and confusion all presented by pretty people the audience would trust. Masking a look of confidence and sunshine. Regardless he listened to what they had to talk about.
"In local news a man named Travis Cummings has been charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder along with aggravated assault against women and men. Caucasian male , with a height of 5’6”, average build with brown hair. Police sources say he’s hiding in a hideout in a deadlines part of the town. Suspect is considered armed and extremely dangerous.”
Josh smiled as turned off the television with her remote. He found his game and he wasn’t going to let anyone take it.
Leaving his apartment through the emergency fire escape he would be out in the cold, night air. Jumping onto the roof with great speed, observing his surroundings from above. Karakura wasn't renowned for its night life but that didn't mean it was completely non-existant either. This wouldn't be Josh's first night hunting either, after all one couldn't really survive this long on inexperience.
A few seconds his head turned hearing the sounds of police sirens heading towards his direction. The blue and red lights are little more than smudgy illuminations in the slanting rain. But beneath their glow is the white bodywork of a police car. It's yellow-white headlights spotlight the dense hedgerow to the side of the lane where the tail-lights sit unusually high off the ground and tipping upwards into the night sky. Seeing the rain beads upon the cars, upon each leaf and washing his outstretched fingers. Soon they will pull together, forming the puddles, opening up a whole new avenue of rain-related fun.
