Hello Earthlings~! Haley/Sasame-mun here with a brand new character! Aaaand it's another guy with wings. I was going to app a girl but, y'know, sometimes the muse just leads you elsewhere.

This is Joshua Christopher from Chrono Crusade (manga version, specifically), reincarnated as Joshua Christopher Simmons. In his previous life he was a kid with holy powers (including pretty angel wings) that got demon horns slapped onto his head and went completely bonkers from it. In his new life, he's the son of a pastor with some deep insecurities that spends too much time playing video games. He's pretty sane. ...For now.

There's actually quite a few opportunities for pre-game CR with this one if you'd like!

Joshua was homeschooled for a while, but just started going to public school again in 2012. If your character goes to Locke High School or works there, they might know him! At school he's usually pretty quiet, and hangs out with the geekier kids. (Additionally, he was also originally pulled out of public school when he was 9 after being suspended for a fist fight with some bullies--feel free to have had your character know about this.)

Joshua's father, Glen Simmons, is the pastor of a decently sized Generic Conservative Evangelical Christian Church (I'll figure out a name for it eventually IDK). If your character is the religious type of the Christian variety, feel free to assume they go to the church and know Joshua from there. In church he's a bit more stiff, but outgoing, than he is in school.

Joshua hangs out a lot online, usually going by the handle 'JC.' He also plays a lot of video games, including at least one MMO and probably a few shooters.

If you'd like more info about him, there's his info post and his application! I'll probably be introducing him OOCly pretty soon. Looking forward to playing him against you guys!

HECK YES? =Db Maybe they can be in rival guilds or something?

[shiromadoushi]

Possibly! :D Maybe something like WoW where there's Horde vs Alliance or whatnot? has never had the money to play WoW T~T Since I assume Joshua would play for the side of good and Bakura sides with the ghouls and creeps ;)

Or if there are guilds based on location where one split off from the other.

[sinningsaint]

Yeah, something like that would probably work! I've tried to get into MMOs but I never last long in them so I'm relying a little on what I've learned from osmosis, lol.

[shiromadoushi]

I've only ever played the freebies and Runescape. So. yeah :D

So, the guild Locke on a WoW clone/off brand had some drama and split between "forces of good" and "forces of evil" and then went to war with each other? Since Bakura goes by "DreamEater" in game and has used it on the network as well.. should be easy enough to uncover that eventually :D

[sinningsaint]

lol, sure, I could see that. Joshua probably has some sort of elaborate fantasy name for his main--ehhh, let's say he named his character after the Poe poem/mythological angel Israfel? But he goes by 'JC' as an online handle, which he'll probably use on the Network too.

Also he plays healer, which probably means 'DreamEater' has killed him a few times during PvP. XD

[shiromadoushi]

Oh yeah :D Healers would be special targets >D And since he plays a thief, almost always a sneak attack. Because honor is for suckers~

[sinningsaint]

LOL and Joshua is such an in-your-face sort of fighter in canon, too.

[shiromadoushi]

Nice contrast with the devil in disguise in front of you Bakurae~ :D Natural MMO enemies~

[wordsgate]

Clearly! It all makes sense now!
