 Josuah Ardel consumed by shadows of what was always meant to be general info
appearance A ll of Josuah's natural features have been dulled because of his condition. His golden hair, his emerald eyes, and usual peach skin have never radiated their true life. Thanks to his enhanced beauty, a lot of other areas of his body have remained in tack, such as the build of his form and his dulled looks don't seem to discourage others.He uses a hex that allows him to change his disguise when needed to that of a simple male, with dark brown hair, and dark blue eyes, both appearing almost black in color. For clothes, Josuah always has gloves, black in color. He covers himself completely, and he always has a cloth mask, and hoodie available for when he needs to fully cover himself. He harbors no visible demon traits, such as horns, tail, wings. But he can showcase emerald scales when submerged in water for extended periods of time. personality C ontact had always been forbidden for Josuah, even as a baby his parents couldn't hold him without gloves. He was diagnosed with haphephobia at the tender age of four. Over the years Josuah has come to understand the nature of his fear wasn't from contact, but absorbing the personal essence of another.This has made him exceptionally closed off, unable to connect with anyone including his parents. His mother loved him unconditionally and dedicated her life to saving him. Josuah holds himself responsible for his mother's death and his guilt mingles with his loneliness creating a fierce opponent. Despite his isolation he doesn't come across as depressed, but rather unfeeling. The reality of his species has ultimately left him emotionally stunted. It is difficult for him to express himself properly. Allowing gratitude to be out shadowed by his highly defensive temper. As a child he resorted to violence, harming those around him without restraint. But as an adult he's more cautious and dedicates all of his free time to honing his abilities even though it is a slow and grueling process. For his life has been encased in weakness and the constant loom of his failing health. The necklace he found gave him an opportunity to survive, not live. He silently obsesses over his soulmate, but with it are the memories of his mother's fate. He has dealt with the belittlement of his father for the second half of his life and that has impacted him to at times think poorly of himself. But he doesn't become absorbed in it. He has confidence and authority lurking within him but both have been completely stifled, like a flame starved of oxygen. His permanent disguise has also become a heavy part of his personality. He's constantly this other person and rarely see's himself anymore. It is safe to say that he is a highly damaged individual and needs a great deal of healing that he's never been able to accomplish on his own. abilities
backstory J osuah's birth came as an unexpected blessing for Cyrus and Viola Ardel; a Siren and Demon couple who had been trying for many years to have a child. They were instantly in love with their new baby boy, although completely unprepared for him to come into the world as a Procubi. The only knowledge they had on the species was the well known stereotype of them being an extremely sex driven kind. However, they refused to be as narrow-minded as the general populace and began a lengthy delve into research only to learn that the Procubi were terribly misunderstood; they were creatures who sought after closeness, friendship, love, and intimacy when appropriate. Both Cyrus and Viola were determined to raise their child well and with the love he deserved.But the idea of such a beginning became nothing more than a fairytale as they began to run into one problem after another. Whenever they attempted to console or coddle Josuah, he often screamed as though being inflicted with physical pain and to their horror he was later professionally diagnosed with Haphephobia, a fear so extreme that it could cause him physical pain. Contact with their son thereafter was always barriered with a pair of gloves. Things did not improve when he was old enough to begin attending school. Josuah grew up as an extremely difficult child, frequently using his fire manipulation powers to target other children in school, ultimately leading up to an expulsion. Uncertain of what else to do, Josuah's parents looked to the hospital for aid. For many of the following years Josuah became well acquainted with the hospital through visits and at certain intervals, when he became too extreme for his parents to handle, he found himself temporarily housed in the Psychiatric Ward. As he grew older, Josuah became more self-aware of his species as well as the problems his Enhanced Beauty was creating. He developed the incessant need to thoroughly cover himself, dressing in long sleeve hooded jackets, gloves, and a mask to cover the bottom portion of his face. For his parents they were finally given the answer they'd been desperately searching for all along when they happened across a Cherubim considerate enough to enlighten them. She could see his string of fate and informed Cyrus and Viola that their son's only hope of survival would have to come from his soulmate. This vital piece of information set his parents on a journey. They gave up everything for him; their jobs and house, taking to the road in search of Josuah's soulmate. They even enlisted the help of a Cherubim until they could no longer financially afford them. Thus Josuah grew up many years on the road, no longer knowing a life of having a home and staying in one place. When he was 11 he discovered a powerful necklace that he believed to be connected to his soulmate. He could feel his essence in the jewelry and it became something he could feed off of. However, still desperate to find the one the necklace belonged to, he kept his discovery a sworn secret to himself, unaware of the detrimental consequences it would cause. The continued search ended in terrible and gruesome tragedy in the form of a high speed car accident. The only two survivors of the crash are Josuah and his father, who is also heavily injured. Viola had taken her seatbelt off at the time of the crash, being thrown through the dashboard and then pinned and crushed under the weight of the second vehicle. In the chaos of that night, both father and son understood that she wouldn't make it. She was far too injured. But, when her last words were spoken with tears and regret on how sorry she was that she couldn't help Josuah and how she had failed him as a mother, Josuah opened up and revealed the truth — that he had found the necklace and it had been sustaining and bringing him back to good health. His father was wrought with the misery of the accident and Viola's eventual death, but he brought that vengeance onto his son and blamed him completely for her death. He would go on to never forgive him. After that night, the search was over. His father was a completely different man and coldly threatened Josuah, telling him if he so much as caused another problem he would seal his powers and get rid of him. The two never reconnected and became strangers living under the same roof. Josuah was forced to attend public school again for the first time in years. The high school he attended was large and in the heart of a huge city, allowing him to more effectively blend in and avoid attention. However, the unwanted effects of his Enhanced Beauty never truly went away. Because of this Josuah finally delved deep into researching all of his abilities in hopes to find a solution to the problem, and that was how he became aware of Hexes and their ability of disguise. However, the image he conjured into reality during his first attempt at disguising couldn't sit well with him, and for a time he actually abandoned the practice, and the image that had been seared into his mind. But the problem of Enhanced Beauty remained present in his life, despite all of his attempts to thwart it, and eventually he'd been forced to return to trying Hexes a second time. After more research, he procured a physical image of another male for him to study and attempt to disguise himself as, and this time it worked. His new identity allowed him to live a more grounded existence, one that took time for him to settle into. Years of covering himself kept him reluctant to remove the hood and face mask but he eventually sorted it out. His newfound life hadn't given him the answer or reprieve he'd been looking for. Instead, it had created a massive distance and dysphoria, leaving him detached with himself and the world around him. The only comfort he now held was the faint warmth of his necklace. At 16, Josuah dropped out of high school. He attempted to continue with online schooling but lacked the motivation. Instead he took to jobs; at first working overnight as a packing employee and then working deliveries. There was something about traveling across a variety of nearby towns and cities that helped the restlessness that had cropped up in his life. He'd been 19 when he received a letter that changed his life completely. The contents written by a Mr. and Mrs. Redal, two people he'd never met before in his life. It spoke of their son Brendon, whom they believed to be his soulmate, and his immediate need for his protection. misc Will add more to this as his story progresses. | roleplayer info  ☆ NAME 𝓐𝓭𝓲𝓻𝓪 ☆ CONTACT Chatango or PM please. ☆ RP EXPERIENCE 10+ Years ☆ TIMEZONE Mountain Time ☆ GENDER Female ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS @nicolas Osheen Alexandrite Guy Pierceton ☆ FACE CLAIM TRIPILE KISS, SASSEGAWA ---------------------- THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO 𝓐𝓭𝓲𝓻𝓪.
