Generally liked or disliked?: Generally liked by his parish and average church goers, Joshua has to uphold some kind of reputation. Outside of the church and humans, he has no care whether he’s liked or not. He has a job to do and intends to fulfill it.
Education Level: elementary, until later on when he got a GED to attended college (Bachelor’s in for dirt cheap) during the middle-to-late 1900s using what wages he accrued in the hundreds of years before it.
Hobbies: Reading and reciting scripture, walking around town when the night blankets the skies, organizing protests and other public events for his church, as well as sinning from time to time.
Temperament: composed for the most part, often taking a gentle demeanor. But the persona is quick to shed when he’s around blood bars or other places reeking of supernatural, where he’ll be a little more gruff and agitated, as though thoroughly disgusted with himself and the community.
Positive traits: gentle, caring when he wants to and if the person has value in his life, thoughtful, and loyal to a cause or someone he deems worthy.
Negative traits: pessimist of the supernatural, aggressive, prone to outbursts.
Weaknesses: deadman’s blood, sunlight, decapitation, finding his ‘sire’ or those he has turned, his relationship with God.
Strengths: Capable of taking hits and giving them back, able to coerce and rile his parish to follow his cause, adept at reading his audience, getting what he wants.
Proud of: His mission and growing parish to oust the supernatural community for good.
Embarrassed by: Being a vampire, especially with his love for the power attached to it.
Fears/phobias: Not being worthy for God nor his mission, failing his goal, and ultimately being outed to his parish and community as a vampire. There’s a body trail to prove this, one that lasts centuries.
Secrets: He loves the thrill of being a vampire and loves engaging with his homosexual desires, things he keeps behind closed doors when at the church or in the public eye. Years of closeting himself have made any relationships hard to come by, not to mention his personality, too.
Regrets: Being turned, watching his father die from the protests and ultimately failing to fight the people that brought him to America in the first place.
Angered by: The corruption spurred by supernaturals and their immoral hold on the city.
Calmed by: Alone time, or moments spent with sire or his own ‘turned’ children, as they can be called.
Most at ease when: drinking blood, beating up the punching bag at the gym, or walking the streets.
Soft spot: His sire and the people he’s turned. A human or two fit this category, as well.
In a crisis: Lashes out or shuts down to concoct a quick and thorough enough plan in the time allotted. There’s no arguing with him when he’s trying to get his shit together.
Under pressure: Keeps calm, going over plans or reading people’s body language to better understand what to do. He can focus on the task at hand, so long as no one interrupts him.
Can he keep a secret?: Yes. Even being the very thing he preaches against, he does take secrecy seriously.
People are inherently…: lost, sinful, and misguided.
Spiritual beliefs: Strongly Christian due to living in the south for so long and seeking refuge in the European religion. He’s since established himself as a priest with a growing parish of humans.
Day or night?: Night
Pessimist or optimist?: Primarily pessimist
Big picture or small details?: Big picture
Important events in life: Turning into a vampire, the long journey to America that had most of his ‘shipmates’ either dead from diseases or tossed overboard.
