Joshua received a magical guitar with the ability to repair itself for a song, literally.
Joshua came across a reversed blade katana called 'Deceiver' in Khat Bwena’s The Stolen Sword RP. It’s abilities are as listed, but of course are subject to DM’s approval.
he gathered signed cards from a few of his fellow Dreamers; Benor, Jester, Ishtar, Pigham, Yume, Kai, Zen1337, Emberage, ArhiaDragyn, Paige, Silverfox, Hitomi, Wind Wraith, Jayce, Damien, Eeata. he also received a specially signed card from Fantasy Forever/Firefly and a razor sharp signed card from Donevan Blake that had a touch of the void in it.
the morning before he and Fantasy joined in bonding her father, the archangel Hoshi, appeared to him and gave him an emerald green feather from his own wing. Hoshi told Joshua that only once, if needed the feather could be used to summon him.
During the wedding reception Joshua received a short sword called 'Protector' from Damien. the blade of the sword glows blueish when the wielder it threatened.
Joshua recieved the MZDM Award for 'Most Heroic Avatar'
Pets: none
Abilities/Skills & Power Level: from his youth in a high fantasy world Joshua highly proficient (though by no means a highly skilled master) of many mid-evil weapons (i.e. swords, spears/lances, clubs/maces, and to a limited degree, bows and crossbows)
As part of his service to her, Destiny has given Joshua a semi-energy based body and powers to match for use in his travels under her direction.
Because of his new nature Joshua is immortal as long as the entity Destiny wishes him to remain so. She is able to draw revive him after his death by drawing his energies back to her and infusing them with ‘fresh’ energy then reforming him.
Joshua possesses the ability to produce, control and manipulate energy in almost all its forms. he can even learn to duplicate new energies as he comes across them. his full potential has not been determined.
by bending light waves he can create limited invisibility.
he can unleash bolts or continuous beams of energy of any type he can create.
Joshua can form shaped-energy weapons reflecting his high fantasy home world; either a single or pair of energy swords, or an energy spear/lance
flying is done by combining various means (force projection, gravity nullification, etc.)
short range teleportation by matter/energy projection (admittedly this is something he's still working to prefect, it leaves him tired physically and mentally disoriented)
he can create energy/force fields with gas filtering and counter-kinetic properties (i.e. the field applies force equal to that applied to the field, counteracting the incoming force). they can be shaped in a number of ways; a personal aura, wall, dome, or sphere.
Joshua’s energy being based nature renders him immune to almost all known poisons and toxin, as well as giving him an advanced healing abilities.
when needed, Joshua can pull energy from the world around him to supplement or magnify his own energies.
calling on the power Destiny Stone he can use his energy to open portals to other dimensions. he can also use it’s power to open portals to other parts of the same dimension without actually crossing the dimensional barrier of the world, but just bouncing the portal off it, not unlike bouncing a signal off a relay or satellite.
after their bonding Joshua is in constent mental contact with his wife Fantasy. they can sense each others thoughts and feelings as well as some physical condition to a degree. (e.i. pain, arousal, discomfort, etc) the bond gives Joshua a limited form of telepathy, it works only with only Fantasy.
the biggest change from the bonding tho is that the two are now connected on a spiritual level. their souls have become intertwined and are also connected.
Weaknesses: being a semi-energy based life form Joshua is vulnerable to energy draining attacks. This also includes areas or even worlds where powerful energies like magic and such are absent or nullified. In such cases Joshua is force to rely solely on the energies he carries with him. He will grow weaker as they are depleted, eventually fading away and dying.
also, though Joshua can counter and/or nullify most energy and physical based attacks he has little defense against sonic/sound-based attacks
immortal as he is, Joshua can still be injured and die just like any mortal. it is just that after he dies Joshua dematerializes and reforms whole and uninjured though possibly slightly tired and disoriented, depending on the nature of his death.
possibly his greatest weakness would be his family; Fantasy, Firefly, and Ssang. Joshua would do almost anything for them.
Special Effects (if any): Joshua exists in multiple dimensions at the same time, each a projected extension of the Dream’s. they each exist in their world for a reason that may or may not be known to them, though only a handful of them all may know their true nature. the Dream’s Joshua may at any time 'connect' with any of them and gain knowledge of anything they may know, experience what they're experiencing at that moment, communicate with them, or if in the face of extreme circumstance posses or exchange places with them. this is all possible by drawing on another of the Destiny Stone’s power.
A side effect of using his powers Joshua becomes surrounded with a glowing green aura. It's intensity various with the amount of energy he is using or putting out. The aura itself harmless light unless Joshua has created a specifically dangerous field around himself.
As a minor side effect, Joshua’s eyes will glow or flare brightly in anger or stressed either emotionally or physically. The brightness and intensity depends on the severity of the moment.
Personality: Joshua is a very friendly person. Quick to make friends, he has on occasion taken a disliking to someone very quickly. This is usually because of his belief in judging one by their actions and intents, rather then appearance. Tough, resourceful, and confident in himself, Joshua is more then willing to place the safety and well being of others above himself, laying down his life if need be. And he’s not afraid to accept the consequences of his actions should they prove wrong. He has served Destiny faithfully for a long time, but recently he has begun to question himself and his actions.
Brief History: Joshua was born the son of a warrior turned farmer in a world of high fantasy. leaving the farm at as a young teen Joshua had many adventures of his own. years later during an epic battle in which many of his friends and loved ones were killed Joshua pleaded for divine intervention. an entity calling herself Destiny answered his call and allowed the young Joshua and company a second chance, to relive the fight. Using the sub-conscious knowledge of the past fight they defeated an evil coiled dragon by the name of Sho-lu Hon. after the battle Destiny returned and appeared before Joshua to collect her dues. Giving up everything for his friends and loved ones, his entire world, he shed his mortal coil and left with the entity and became Destiny’s personal solider. As per their agreement no one could know of the true nature of his leaving, to them he would have died in defense of their world and Joshua would never be allowed to return to his home world. *the story in Joshua's words* under her direction Joshua spent some two centuries traveling from one world to another. in his travels Joshua had to perform deeds in order to maintain the proper flow of destiny as the entity predicted it.
after a rocky entrance into the Dream and a resulting inquiry, Joshua has been on many adventures and made many new friends. in his travels within the realms of the Dream Joshua’s greatest find has been the love he thought he would never feel again since leaving behind his wife in his home dimension. the object of his affection was the half-angel, accidental dimensional traveler Fantasy Forever. a friendship blossomed quickly and feelings grew between the two. Fantasy invited Joshua to stay in her cabin with her best friend the fire fairy cat, Firefly. after a sudden confession of love during a dance at a barbeque with friends, a whirlwind romance followed. during Fantasy’s 16th birthday party the Kimaru kitten Ssang was given to her as a gift. though Ssang was originally meant to be a pet she has become the couple’s adoptive daughter. Even long after their confessions the two did not consummate their relationship right away. on Joshua’s part this was due to a fear of emotionally harming Fantasy. This continued until one night Fantasy laid those fears to rest. The following day the couple traveled to Firefly’s home world and preformed an ancient ceremony that bonded the two. the bonding was on many levels, for starters the two now shared a continuous mental bond. spiritually, the couple’s souls have been joined, overlapping, each now possess a fragment of the other’s. they can feel each other’s pains and joys through theses bonds, very little can be hidden from each other now. Joshua approached the goddess of love, Ishtar about concerns of betraying the memories of his first wife, with her guidance Joshua came to an important conclusion. a short time later the decision to formalize their relationship in marriage was made and Joshua proposed. it wasn’t long after then that the two were wed by the goddess Ishtar in her very own garden. The reception afterwards was held at Fantasy’s close friend Nyu’s coffee house.
during all this, and since then, Joshua has continued to be involved in many adventures. he continues to offer his help where ever he finds it may be needed, both within the Dream and in other dimensions.
A brief and character revealing answer to the question, “What is your ambition?”: to protect those that he can, assist those that that need it, protect the Destiny Stone at all costs, and protect his loved ones.
