Player Name: shikki Preferred Contact: minimoffs @ plurk, Time Zone: AST Personal Style: Either or! I've been super duper slow since the world flipped upside down. Usually I'm fast - med pace. OOC Limits: Nothing, go wild.
Character Name: Josh Foley / Elixir Age: 22 Employment in Deerington: He's looking! Please hire him. He has the equivalent to a few PHDs knocking around in his head and has worked as a medic more or less since he hit sixteen, but he's never had a real job and mostly subsisted on volunteer work in exchange for a place to live. He's a hard worker if you get him in the right spot. Residence in Deerington:4 Chastain, Flatwoods Point Day to Day Activities: Honestly Josh kind of keeps to himself but he's trying to branch out, because he's actually really shitty at doing that. He's been poking around town trying to find work. He does yoga out on his lawn at the crack of dawn. And if he's got cash, he's spending it at the bar.
About This Character: Josh is a fucking mess. He's a former mutant-hating Reaver who came from a family who really, really weren't mutant friendly - he never actually hated mutants or wished them any harm, he's just a coward who went along with his friends. He was a bad, shitty kid who also rarely attended class and was kind of just an arrogant asshole who never thought before he spoke. Then his powers kicked in and he went to Xaviers and that more or less beat the asshole out of him.
The X-Men themselves put him through the ringer. Almost his entire class was killed, many of them right in front of him, which screwed him up massively. Josh developed a massive issue where if he's unable to heal people and be useful he kind of shuts down, believing the only thing he's actually good for is healing. He ran away from the X-Men twice - once after he killed a classmate during X-Force 2009, and once after he was brought back to them (because he was living in the rubble of the mutant Utopia, he doesn't make smart life choices) and realized he couldn't cure the plague that was killing mutantkind. Both of these times ended in him getting killed because someone was after his powers, and both times involved him walking straight into danger with no heed for his own safety. H
By his current canonpoint he's decided that maybe Xavier's dream isn't actually ever going to work and he's sided with the Brotherood of Evil Mutants, and then joined Emma Frost's Hellfire Club once some shit went down and that stopped being a thing. Thanks to dimensional shenanigans all the X-Men are missing. He thinks they're dead and everyone else he ever loved is getting slowly getting picked off one by one by the government while he sits on his hands and takes cues from Emma Frost.
Personality wise, Josh is kind of a dumb jock himbo type. He likes to party and distract himself from how bad things are by getting involved with other people, but he can't ever commit to anything so don't expect marriage. He likes video games, movies, dumb bands from the early 00s, and he's super athletic. He generally means well, but he's also prone to saying really stupid things and hurting feelings without realizing it.
The duality of his powers - control over life and death - and the supreme mental illness he has going on kind of lead to him losing his shit when he's particularly overwhelmed emotionally. He once got so upset he almost detonated a mutant with nuclear bomb-esque powers just to make him suffer for hurting people - without really caring that he and other people were in the blast zone. Thankfully he came to his senses and freaked out about it. He hunted down the guy who killed him and brought him back to life and killed him, over and over again, until Magneto pissed him off and he was like YEAH OK I'LL RAISE THE DEAD TO PROVE A POINT. Josh is aware that he's not doing so hot mentally and is seriously working on it, but there's only so much you can do when you're a) from comics and b) in a dreamscape dedicated to suffering.
Any Warnings: Child death, genocide, systematic oppression, cheating, uncanny 2019 is a whole thing i'm not even sure how to describe
Present Life: He's just having a bad time sorting out some info he learned about the future. He's meeting people and making some friends and trying to get himself a job and something more going for him so he feels less like he's about to rattle apart.
Future Ideas: I'd like to focus on getting him something of a life - and then probably distracting himself near constantly by throwing ragers out of his house. The louder and less focus he's giving to his situation, the happier he is.
I was also thinking of having him to yoga classes which is something he does canonically. granted he has yoga classes and then "yoga classes" involve a lot of flirting and possibly banging.
He also desperately needs a job because he's got zero structure to his life and that's not good.
CR You Want: Casual flings, friends, enemies, people to tempt him over to the dark side, people for him to follow around, come make a young adult superhero team with him and share an existential crisis or two CR You Don't Want: N/A
