Joshua Bright

1) Height: 170cm (about 5' 5.8")

2) Weight: Not officially stated, but it's usually around 63kg/139lbs. It's been somewhat lower than that in the last two month, but it's getting close to that number again.

3) Eye color/Hair Color: Hair color is black, eye color is amber. Notably, under certain conditions (generally if certain subjects come up, or someone he cares about is threatened), his eyes look a bit... dull, which is noted in canon to make them look a little creepy.

4) Age: 17. He'll turn 18 on December 20th, and his birthday was publicly announced by Leonhardt here.

5) Physical features: He looks rather feminine, enough that he can convincingly look like a girl with a wig (and at least one NPC mistakes him for a girl even without any sort of costume). Less obviously, he has a odd-looking mark on his left shoulder, but he goes out of his way to cover it up most of the time.

6) Voice: His voice actress is Mitsuki Saiga. A few samples of how he sounds can be found here and here. And for how he sounds when he's in disguise, since that's relevant for the upcoming event... there's this.

7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: He lives with Estelle ([personal profile] estelle_bright) and Leonhardt ([personal profile] eyesofstrength) in House 24. Everyone in the house does chores, though since he's the one who cooks nearly all the time, he usually focuses more on that while the others focus more on other chores (for example, Leonhardt handles cat-related chores, since Cecilia is his cat).

8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: Joshua doesn't have a specific favorite, though he's kind of fond of seafood paella. As for who does the cooking in the household... well, he's the only one who can consistently cook well these days, so that's his job.

9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Joshua wanders around a lot! He doesn't stray very far from the village, though, so he can usually be found within the village or in the forest around it. In the afternoon or evening, he generally stops by the battle dome to train for a while (and if anyone's seen him there, his favored method of training is fighting simulations of these things). He can be found at the library occasionally, too, though he usually prefers to check out books and read them at home rather than read there.

10) Their general sense of fashion: His wardrobe is largely blue, green, black or white, and his taste in fashion leans toward short-sleeved or sleeveless shirts (moreso the former than the latter nowadays), and either something with a high collar, a scarf, or both. He also wears vests and jackets pretty often. In terms of what he wears the most, though... now that it's getting warmer again, he'll be sticking to this again most of the time.

11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: Reading and music (particularly playing the harmonica), both of which are hobbies he's always had. He also has an interest in weapons, though he hasn't acted on that much in Luceti.

12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: Yup. He thinks pretty differently of certain people from his world than he did when he first arrived, and his view of himself has changed a fair bit as well (...largely for the worse, admittedly).

13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Yes - twin blades, which he carries with him just about all the time when outdoors (though they're usually sheathed). He also has his orbment (one of these, though his has a different pattern), which allows him to use magic, so I guess that counts a weapon too.

14) Who are their neighbors?: Arumat, Draco, Hisoka and Tsuzuki in House 25, Nagisa, Fuuko, Kotomi and Tomoyo in House 26.

15) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what? That'd be... Estelle and Leonhardt. :|; And given that he lives with those two, that means he spends a fair amount of time with them.

16) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The library and the battle dome, mainly. He's also a bit partial to the mountains and the plains near them for personal reasons, but those are areas he visits much less frequently.

17) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: Black with amber tips, matching his hair- and eye color. He usually keeps them tucked under his clothes, since while they don't bother him much nowadays, they are still a weakness and all.

18) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: The mark on his arm is new. His weight's fluctuated a bit throughout his stay in Luceti so far, but since it usually hovers around the same number, I'm not sure if that counts. His hair's also a little bit longer, though he usually tries to keep it around the same length, so it's not very noticeable.

19) What do they miss the most from home?: He misses his friends and his (adopted) father a bit, but with the two people he cares about the most here in Luceti, it's not that much of an issue for him.

20) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: His handwriting is neat and easily legible. He writes pretty much how he talks.

21) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Not really! He acts about the same both over the journals and in person.

22) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: Yes. His main personal goal shifted a little... to one he can't accomplish in Luceti. :| His other new personal goal would be finding out more about Luceti and trying to find a way home, though nowadays he's far more focused on the former than the latter.

23) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: It's both, in a way. It's an upgrade in the sense that his world's normal technology is a lot less advanced than Luceti's, but it's also a downgrade because the orbal technology that exists in his world is a fair bit more advanced than most of what's available in Luceti. All in all, he's adjusted pretty well.

24) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?: N/A.

25) FOR DRINKERS: What is their favorite drink? What is their least favorite drink? Do they prefer Good Spirits or Cloud Nine? What's their attitude about and while drinking?: ...He doesn't drink and frowns upon underage drinking. :| So this is pretty much N/A again.

26) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: He's unusually adept at combat for someone his age, but what really stands out is how fast he is. He's also kind of good at making medicine, if that counts. ...And he's pretty good at playing the harmonica, I guess.

27) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? He learned a few new crafts while training in Luceti, though the only really notable one here would be the Body-Split Craft he learned from Leonhardt. He's... still not that great at using it. Aside from that, he's also learned how to use most kinds of Filial magic (Hyt being the only one he hasn't managed to contact so far), which probably counts as well.

28) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting? ...oh man, uh. He's been on one draft so far, and on that one, he mainly stuck to striking from the shadows to incapacitate his targets in order to tag them and thus deal with them the non-lethal way... until the final day, where he pretty much switched to indiscriminately killing them instead after getting caught in a cave-in. In future drafts, he's more likely to consistently stick to incapacitating Third Party soldiers, unless doing so would put someone else at more of a risk than killing his targets would, and he'll probably rely more on his speed than his stealth.

29) What kind of habits do they have on missions? What is their reason for going on them? What do they intend to use their points for? On missions, he generally values safety above all else - he'll try to deal with things quickly and efficiently, so that nobody else is put at risk. Since he's more partial to missions that require combat prowess... yeah. His reasons for accepting missions vary between wanting to find out more about the Malnosso and the areas outside the barrier (normal missions, mainly) and simply wanting to handle more dangerous tasks so that others won't have to put themselves at risk (unique missions). As for the points... stuff from his world, mainly. That's all I'll say in regards to that.

30) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: Nearly eight months, now. The amount of time he's spent in Luceti hasn't really affected him much - about the only effect it's had on him is that he acknowledges that it could take a long time until he returns to his world, considering how long he's already been here and how long some other residents have remained in Luceti. Not that he wants to nowadays, but hey.

31) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft? By spending more time in the battle dome or going on missions to distract himself, usually. Also, being clingier than usual around his family for a while.

32) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked? For the worst experiment... there's two that fit that. In terms of trauma, that's easily the Halloween event in 2011, with the whole "moon seemingly going to crash into the village and nothing's stopping it" thing, simply because that hit a little too close to home for a while. In terms of embarrassment, however, that'd be the horoscope event in December of the same year. It's kinda hard to beat ending up stuck in a maid dress for a week, losing your ability to cook anything, then running into your brother who managed to get himself way too drunk and proceeds to flirt with you because he thinks you look like your sister. :| Experiments he liked... he kind of enjoyed the Valentine's event, even if he's not sure what to make of something that happened during it.

33) Anything else you want to note?: I don't think so? I can't think of anything right now, at least. Scratch that. Ahem...

-Joshua has frequent nightmares - usually the same two recurring repeatedly. As a result, he often gets less sleep than he should, so he tends to be up very early. Similarly, it takes him a while to fall asleep, too. He gets by okay with relatively little sleep, though... most of the time, anyway.
-He has some issues with being touched without warning. At best, he'll freeze up or move away; at worst, he'll outright swat the offender away and possibly even glare, but that pretty much requires touching him when he's paying no attention to his surroundings at all.
-He's rather protective of his family. Messing with them is... not advised, to say the least.

...I think that's about it? If I still manage to think of more, I'll add that later.
