The "New Kid" in the Squad and a Trigger Happy Grenadier. Not a good combo, that last one...
Joshua is often a bit combat happy. And trigger happy. Essentially, Josh is happy in all the ways but one. Actually happy.
His nickname "Jumper" comers from two places. One is a good-natured racial slur. Josh is half Mexican on his mother's side, and thus, "Mexican Jumping Bean" or "Fence Jumper" were given as a good natured chiding when truncated to Jumper. The Mexican Jumping Bean as well as his attitude, somewhat alert and jumpy, solidified the term forever.
He tends to get quite angry and almost bloodthirsty in actual combat, but otherwise is just sarcastic and a bit naive at times. He is loyal to his friends though, despite being the newest member of Delta Squad, and the youngest (at the moment).
