Abilities:
"Demons eye"
An ability named as such by the people who have witnessed it's strength, in the past Joshua would rip his previously worn eyepatch from his face (now replaced in the present by an easily removed contact) to reveal his right eye in all of its glory. Allowing it to shine a startling bright red, contrasting his normally golden-brown eyes. By placing his hand over the eye and chanting what appears to be an ancient and forgotten verse, the red colour becomes a glowing red aura that surrounds Joshua and whatever weapon he wields. This aura drives the wearer into a berserk like state giving them immense strength and agility for an extended period of time. This ability does not come free however, any damage taken while in this state targets both of Joshua's eyes, not just the red one, aswell as the rest of his body and usually after the ability wears off Joshua will feel immense pain in, and bleed from, his eyes. This effect will wear off after a few moments leaving his vision blurred and leaving his body almost completely paralyzed for hours, preventing him from reusing the ability until regaining his movement. As an added bonus to this ability, Joshua can give his red eye aura to someone else rather than himself, allowing them to use the power normally reserved for him. The only condition is that the new user of the aura MUST remain within Joshua's line of sight. All other effects remain the same and should the one gifted with the aura sustain serious damage then Joshua will be left in severe pain for a few moments and complete paralysis for hours after that. Should someone die under the red eyes influence, Joshua will be left permanently and completely paralyzed. As well as loosing all access to the ability.
"Angels touch"
Once again named by those who have seen it in use. Joshua has the ability to take away the pain of others in return for applying it to himself. He can heal a broken arm in return for his own arm breaking. He can remove a large cut if he doesn't mind being cut himself. He could even remove disabilities such as dyslexia and paralysis, but as such they will be applied to himself. Joshua may return the problem he takes to its original host, but only if the original host agrees to take it back. Joshua can NOT give others HIS pain, nor can he give one persons pain to another person using himself as a medium.
Passive Abilities:
None currently known.
Weapon:
"Black Blade: Atramatta"
A mysterious and flashy blade, able to fold into itself so that its shape and size are that of a common shiv. A quick flick of the wrist unfurls the unassuming tool into the powerful blade it is. Despite its impressive appearance however, the sword has no supernatural or otherwordly properties besides its impossible folding capacity. It's handle is crafted from fine silver and its blade from purest ebony, making it extremely sharp, durable and expensive beyond measure, however other than its ability to fold it is naught but a sword. The only way it becomes more is when it becomes charged with the red eye aura, making it stronger and faster, however the same could be said about any weapon, melee or ranged for that matter. Aside from this it appears to bear some sentimental value to Joshua though he doesn't appear to know why. "I saw it in a store owned by a man who seemed to possess a strange aura and instantly knew that I had to buy it. I don't why but I am simply drawn to it.
"If this is the essence of who I am... then I will not allow myself to be ashamed!."
Seeing this personality, anybody could easily find Joshua an annoyance, someone who cares for nobody but themselves and sees the views of others but nothing but formalities that he must entertain to survive in a world filled with others who he views as nothing more than fools and while there may be a few shreds of truth hidden in such an opinion it is surely not the case. Joshua is kind at heart and enjoys the company of others more than almost anything else in the World. Even though at times he may feign scorn for companionship, it is something he earnestly enjoys and would happily talk to a good friend for hours on end had he the opportunity to do so, though still displaying his imposing and stubborn persona near the beginning of conversation as he talks he reveals his nicer side and often tells quick jokes using a hidden sense of humor. Not just with friends either, Joshua would have no trouble conversing with a stranger should they show him the same amounts of respect he would show them. "Conversation rests at the core of any relationship, no?"
As previously mentioned Joshua is nothing but a kind heart at the core of his being. He has seen adversity in its ugliest forms and dealt with the constant threat of prosecution his entire life all due to the dark power stored in an eye that he did not choose to possess. Yet still he has an incredible sense of kindness and duty and often when he sees someone weaker than himself being picked on or bullied in some way he feels an uncontrollable urge to intervene, to help and to defend those who cannot defend themselves through whatever means he deems necessary, this "do or die" sense of helping others has caused him a fair bit of trouble and during the course of the earthquake and on other various occasions it has almost gotten him killed. Despite this, Joshua is actually quite intelligent, a complete and utter genius for the time from which he comes. He is confident in this fact to the point where he could hold a solid debate with a person from the present or even the future, quickly grasping their logic and ideas all the while keeping words in his mouth and a smile on his face.

Aria Deomon: "What an unusual name... how interesting... it... IS a name right? It reminds me of something I too was once called."
Yuu Kokonosuke: "Koko what now? "You koko... something. Are you trying to call me a name ser... I'm not sure I quite under... oh... a name? Really?"
Riye Wakahisa: Riye... waka-h-eye-sa? Waka-h-ee-sa? Riye. I think I'll call her Riye... hmm..."
Mikasa Clark: "Clark you say? I can recognize that name yes... though somehow by this young woman's appearance... I doubt there is any relation...
Kei-Wakahisa: "Yes... ehm... I'll call him Kei for now then."
Patrick Iodne: "Now THERE'S a name I can recognize! I knew a Patrick once, an Irish man, bit barbaric, but a good sport regardless... though on a serious note, why are you asking after these people? Should I know them?"
"Past, present, future... I'm sick of the focus placed upon them. The only time I care for is the moment in which I choose to live, the moment where I can live with acceptance from a World too cruel to give it!"
Theme Song:
~Coils Of Light~
-English Singer unknown, Original Japanese vocals - Raychell-
All riven, kith and kin
All given for this, a never-ending riddle
My flesh worn, heart betorn
Mind, byīģŋ mem'ry, begyved...
As I wander, cold and immane?
Whither now my mother, my flame?
And along the coils of light
The life I desired?
"Anon must we part"?
Words like a dart, red and dire
Eyne that accoyed with their heat
O! How I have seen the dragon's dogma!
Unbound by time, all-binding, grand design.
Land and skies and seas yearn,
Finish the cycle of eternal return!
When thou pulledst this boy from the sand,
Didst thou see him bearded, with brand?
And within the coils of light, when our blades took flight,
What future didst thou envision?!
As I keep this frozen demesne...
Whither now my mother, my flame?
And along the coilsīģŋ of light
The life I desired?
