Name: Joshua Oscar Hollis Gender: Male Age: 17 Hometown: Monterey, California Hobbies and Interests: Tennis, Rugby, Rifle shooting, walking and camping, Valve video games. Appearance: Josh is at a fairly average height (5’9”) and weight (160lbs), and as such, doesn’t exactly stick out in a crowd. His facial features are also fairly generic. He has naturally pale skin, although with a slight tan, as he spends so much time outdoors. Josh has brown eyes, and dark eyebrows, that stand out from the rest of his oval shaped face. The only other really noteworthy feature is that he’s rarely seen without a broad smile. Josh’s hair is light brown, and is kept short yet untidy, the fringe only just managing to reach halfway down his forehead. Josh generally shaves regularly, as only a small, unsightly amount of facial hair appears if he doesn’t. Josh generally wears simple t-shirts or shirts, normally in a single colour. On the day Josh was chosen, he was wearing a light blue shirt with a white collar, khaki cargo shorts and worn, scuffed, brown walking shoes. Biography: Josh was born in the village of Braddock, Cornwall, in England, and has spent the majority of his life there. He has one sister, Andrea, who was born three years after him. Braddock is a fairly small, rural village, and as such, Josh has been exposed to the outdoors for his entire life. Since he was around 6, Josh has gone for walks with his father in the countryside. As such, Josh’s leg muscles have built up quite a bit, as are his arm muscles. His muscular limbs also helped him to play rugby, and he quickly found slight fame in the school and county rugby teams. Opposing teams were often surprised at how strong Josh was, as he isn’t as large or imposing as other members of his team. Eventually, this lead into Josh going out for walks on his own, as well as with groups of his peers, such as for Duke of Edinburgh. Unfortunately, this had one rather unpleasant side affect-Josh grew up with a large hatred of wild animals. Rather than getting used to the wildlife, Josh grew irritated at it; mostly with birds, especially pigeons. He finds them nuisances that detract from the rest of nature. This hatred grew so much that, when he was fifteen, he managed to persuade his father to buy him an air rifle, with Josh’s money. For the next few months, Josh would go out into a small area of land every week or so, in order to shoot pigeons. Donny, his father, didn’t see any harm in it, but Andrea and Emily, his mother, disapproved of it, especially as Josh didn’t kill the pigeons to eat. Aside from his shooting hobby, Josh became interested in playing tennis. On weekends, Donny would drive out of the village to a larger town nearby, which had a tennis court, and he would play tennis there. On a whim, Josh asked to join him, and quickly picked up on the subject, becoming very good at it. Although he wasn’t very quick, Josh had good accuracy and power, and would nearly always beat his dad when playing. However, halfway through the year, the Josh and the rest of his family had moved to Monterey, California, the United States of America. The Hollises were not poor by any stretch of the imagination, but they would certainly jump at any opportunity to gain money in legal ways. So, when the company Donny worked for offered him a job that would mean moving to America, he took it after a few days deliberation. Unfortunately for Josh, he was forced to sell his rifle before moving. The Hollises weren’t sure whether the laws about firearms were different in America, and eventually decided to stay on the safe side, and sell the gun. Josh quickly adapted to Monterey, and the United States in general, although he still slightly misses the countryside. His general cheerfulness, however, meant he quickly found friends in Monterey. These were mostly other sports fans, but Josh befriended most of the people he met, whether they be a jock or more geeky. In fact, one of these geekier friends, Adrian, quickly became Josh’s best friend, as they were both cheerful, slightly strange people. Adrian introduced Josh to video games, something Josh knew lots about, but hadn’t had back in England. Josh in particular became interested in games such as Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2, and when he has little else to do, Josh will normally play video games. At school, in England and in America, Josh was infamous for being intelligent, but easily bored and distracted. His head is generally full of useful ideas, but he struggles to put them down in paper, and instead will make a stab at writing something, then give up and toy with his pencil, or other objects in his pencil case. PE is where Josh really shines, his rugby and tennis skills coming into play, in whatever he does, be it football, basketball or soccer. His speed, or lack of it, however, means that Josh is almost always shown up when doing athletics. Josh is a generally likable person, as he’s almost always cheerful. His views on killing animals, however, have managed to annoy or even offend a few people in the past however, and he’s slightly prone to saying things he doesn’t exactly mean. Most people see past this, though, and see a cheerful, normal guy, with a slightly odd sense of humour. STATS Strength: 7 Skill: 6 Stamina: 5 Speed: 2 --- DESIGNATED PPRL (Purple Player) Designated Weapon: Switchblade Conclusions: He certainly seems to be much tougher than he looks. His weapon's not the best, but it's not awful, and I think Josh here is tough enough to make it pretty far, provided he can, uh, make the step up from pigeons to people.
