Right, ok, now I just need to reintroduce him. I'm thinking of sending him to join the zoo crew, following the tradition of having him slowly starving to death when he meets them, and maybe consider eating the bear, or at least implying it.

@Rabidporcupine

Yep... We do our best to stop your dieing!

Alright, here he is! The new and 'improved' Joseph Moore! I hope you're all ready for a more eccentric, loveable goofball than the serious downer who made a suit out of cardboard last season! This time, he'll probably cut loose and make some Hawaiian shirts out of it instead!

Joseph Moore

Name: Joseph Moore

Age: 21

Appearance:

Height: 183 cms

Weight: 97kg

Likes: Anime, gardening, cooking, games, reading, writing, most forms of spirits, the occult, martial arts.

Dislikes: Wine, Beer, boring normies, confrontation he doesn't initiate, himself.

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

Special Talent: Joseph is a surprisingly good cook, a talent that comes from living alone for a few years now, wandering the country and doing what he can to make the food he scrounges up somewhat edible.

He is also a decent writer, keeping several journals filled with stories from his travels, often adapted into a fantasy setting.

Finally, after he left Sol city in chapter one for a training arc, he is now somewhat skilled at martial arts, or at least as skilled as one can get learning from a fellow homeless man living under a bridge who called himself the Pigeon King.

Profession: Unemployed, and technically homeless. If you were to ask him, however, he'd probably say he's a wanderer, like Kenshin. He would then get into a small mental argument with himself over whether he should be embarrassed or not for talking to a 'real' person about anime or not.

Bio/Personality: For pretty much his entire life, Joseph has been a fairly withdrawn person. He never quite managed to get the hang of social interaction, and he had an annoying tendency to miss a lot of social cues.

This got to the point where, by the time he was fifteen, he had only ever had two friends, a pair of sisters who he knew when they were all kids. They managed to be friends for a good six years, before they moved away to somewhere across the country. After they left, he all but gave up on talking to other people entirely, retreating into the magical digital world of games, anime and writing. Things were going great, right up until one day when he was sixteen. What changed, you ask?

Well, his parents died. Car crash.

This led to a problem, in that back when they got married, it wasn't exactly with the approval of either of their parents. In fact, according to the stories they told him, it was with very adamant disapproval. Therefore, they did something that, in their minds, was the obvious choice, and ran away to the other side of the country to elope. Honestly, Joseph could kind of see his grandparents points, considering that his mother was the only child and 'heiress' to an honestly ridiculously wealthy family, his father was the son of an abusive heroin addict of a mother and a father who quite possibly didn't even know of his existence, having disappeared before his mother even learned of the pregnancy, and they were seventeen and sixteen respectively at the time of their escape. However, it also led him to a problem.

He was still a minor, and the government would probably try to place him in his richer grandparents care. He'd seen enough anime to know how they may very well see him, especially considering how they apparently saw his dad.

And so, out of fear of being put in the care of resentful grandparents, combined with the less than stellar mindset you tend to find yourself in when both of your parents have suddenly been stolen away from you, he did the only thing he could think of at the time.

Ask uncle google what you would need to survive on the road, gather it up along with your important keepsakes, and run away from home.

For the next four years, he traveled all across America. He managed to make enough money to not starve to death doing odd jobs, usually helping out on farms and the like. However, he still remained fairly withdrawn socially, never connecting with the people he helped in the way he would have liked.

However, this all changed when he arrived in Sol City and accidentally wandered into a karaoke night at Swan Song, simultaneously befriending and starting a war with two out of three of the richest, most powerful idiots in the city while only semi-conscious due to running on a week without food.

Things quickly spiralled out of control for Joseph, as he found himself a nice little alley to live in, attended a fancy party in a suit made entirely out of cardboard and duct tape, and took a new friend he'd made to hospital after she collapsed, only to have no idea what happened to her since he left the next morning. Eventually, realising that Sol City was actually a hotbed of localised chaos, he left the city to continue his wandering. However, things changed again when he ran across the elderly homeless Korean man he would soon come to call teacher. However, he only referred to himself by one name, the Pigeon King. After spending a couple of days beneath the bridge with the old man, Joseph came to realise that he was actually quite the martial artist when he fought off a pack of feral dogs that had been trying to steal his food. Excited by this well of knowledge, he asked the elderly man to teach him, and despite some initial reluctance, he soon decided to pass his knowledge down to Joseph. For a little over a month, Joseph trained day and night in the hodge-podge, makeshift martial art that his teacher called Hatojutsu, which as you've probably figured by now, means Pigeon Arts.

However, the name isn't what's important now. What's important is that, after training with the Pigeon King for a little over a month, Joseph decided that, even with the general craziness he'd seen in Sol City, he truly felt like he really belonged there. And now, with an outlook on life that was clearly far more eccentric and easygoing than it had been in the past, it had probably never been more true! After all, he'd just spent a month learning martial arts from a homeless man who talked to pigeons. He might actually be overqualified to survive in that crazy goddamn city!

Your character's favorite song:
I'll put one in here when I have time to pick a new one that fits his new outlook, but it's late now. Same with the actor, although I'm thinking Robert Downey Junior, or maybe Johnny Depp. Someone who can act a little kooky, you know?

Tell us about yourself:

*Your age:
21

*What part of the world are you from?
Australia

*How many years have you been writing/roleplaying: (if you're on your first year, that's totally fine too)
Well, I started around January of last year, so I'm still kind of inexperienced compared to a lot of other people I've met. Not too bad, of course, but I see far better fairly often.

*How often do you have time to post? (this is just a general, honest question, no judgment)
Gonna be honest, it kind of fluctuates. Sometimes I'll be able to post once a day, or even more, and then other times a full week will pass before I can get to it.

*Anything else you want to mention? What you do for a living? How much do you work a week? What do you enjoy doing besides writing? Put as much as you want.

Honestly, I don't really know what to say. I'm currently looking for a job, but don't have one at the moment. I'm dreadfully shy in real life, so that makes it a little difficult. Apart from writing, I don't have a whole lot of real hobbies. I guess martial arts and cooking could also count, but I haven't cooked in a little while.
So yeah, not really a whole lot I can say...

@Rabidporcupine

Victoria Darya Romus "Vika"

Wednesday Afternoon - Coffee Pot - "MiLady Corvus returns anew"

@Silver Fox

---

Victoria let Ashton order and gave her a smile at the whole of her reaction, she did enjoy her job and it tested her skills alot more than her previous one. It was more than that as well and a vaguely normal life for her which was somthing people took for granted. With a nod and polite smile she just added it onto her bill, it was a nice way to enjoy the day with a friend, the other option was home, and being alone in the large house. She loved it but you could also feel rather cut off from the world as you had high walls, gates and trees meaning they had a little island of calm but also isolation too.

your welcome, blimey.. You and my sister are coffee twins.

Yep, works been great, intense but great.

Laughing kindly at first comment. Marlin had a rather sweet tooth, she could drink the ocosianl o e only though. Victoria did not know the full side details of the fire, and just assumed Ashton was the hero of the day. She had hered her what she assumed the others at party, from a distence anyway for a second. It seemed they would have a suprise when Ashton came back to work. She did not know much more than that and had been pretty drunk, Victorias somewhat underweight build and spirits did not agree even if she had a leaning to them...

Ashton heroics here mostly off the news story, she gave it a second glance and relised how lucky she was to escape that kind of thing alive. She must have been a cat in her former life.the whole crime was strange, but it Coinsided with the rise in cyber attacks and attempts to hack things.

Hearing a Buzz coming from her handbag, and rifling past her car keys, a folded up walking stick, a few dozen receipts and so other normal things. She probbly should clean it out more often. Unlocking it and Seeing a text from Marlin, she gave a quick KK to the message and saw a unknown number, had to be Ashton? Yep it was.

Sipping a coffee as she told her phone to apcept messages from Ashton, she had the security quite high and a few extra modifications to maintain her digital privacy. It was a little effort to make but she had all the time in world at time, and updating her little modifications was easy. Replying quickly, Ashton was definitely alot more clear in text than rough actions. She had already moved in so that was that. The offer of help was nice though.

Hey, it's nice to be able to talk at last!

Oh.. Already moved in. Been about 2 weeks or so. Ensuite, even a garden to enjoy the sunshine, well when it's warm ernough. After all we been through feeling safer is nice.

Thanks for offer though :)

Thinking a second, this afternoon was surprisingly normal for Victoria as the enjoyed some of her cake. She did have to watch what she ate abit but she was getting slowly more able to walk about and gaining more independence. Work was nice, the people where a strange bunch but they got on. It people where always a odd group.

Works nice, I enjoy it, everyone's abit strange but always talented at whatever they do. Pay is great and I've been made very welcome. Still.. Needs more women lol.

I can, t say too much detail.. It not be secure security otherwise! My job does matter though.

How have you been managing? And Ummm.. Now we can communicate maybe a a little more about you?

Oh.. And il give you a lift back if you can fit... I only drive a mini convertible Though.

There messages where quite long but being messages you could put alot more in, and it was harder to express everything and she tried to help with a few gestures as she did it. Talking was always easier, but Ashton had her own quirks, and so did Victoria to be fair, and it made life more intresting though. She looked round and saw a pair sharing some eggs, and a dinner, and so. It was a nice cafe to chat though, they looked a a little diffrent but everyone was more intresting when there unique. @CaptainSully@MissCapnCrunch.

A few couples gathered, and she felt a a little pang.. She missed that a fraction. It was nice to have someone to be close to, well the right person and Milo had not turned out well, Thete always was new chances.

She looked fairly pretty and he was dignified if not relaxed... Thete was somthing between the two of them, maybe nor friends or relationships. But they where... Somthing. They knew each other and so, people watching and she found it quite fun. It always was intresting what bonds and linked people. She did not try to draw attention and just glanced quickly, all they might notice is a flash of grey eyes from a pretty pale Raven haired woman with a red and black corset topped dress and blood red gem round her neck on a short necklace. A normal person... It was nice to be normal.
