Contents
Appearance
Joshua stands a bit taller than the average Midlander, at least for his age, and can usually be found wearing a ragged green outfit, well worn from his days as a traveler. His long red hair is kept in check (somewhat) under a green wedge cap, kept in much nicer condition than the rest of his outfit. When he frequents the Gold Saucer, however, he puts on a finery won from the Saucer itself, looking a cut above most in that garb.
History
Sorry, friend, but that's something you'll have to find out... At the toss of a coin, perhaps?
Personality
Joshua is a very roguish, casual, and carefree person. He's also rather cunning, enough so that he can cheat without getting noticed (most of the time at least). He believes in luck more than ability, and is much too carefree about his job, willing to switch sides if the pay is good enough (citing it as "just business, nothing personal"). He's a bit of a flirt, however, and despite his jovial and carefree attitude, Joshua is very loyal, genuinely kind, caring, calm, and composed on and (mostly) off the battlefield.
Affiliations and Known Associates
Currently working under contract for The Stalwart Embers, a newly formed Free Company of adventurers.

Other Notes

Equipment
Joshua carries several dozen fake coins with either two heads or two tails in pouches on the inside of his coat, a small slashing dagger always hidden on his belt, a pair of two much larger steel blades found commonly in the hands of rogues, a steel falchion, and a decorated iron buckler.
Rumours
Common rumours
- Joshua's coin flips are rigged, and he uses fake gil with either two heads or two tails.
Known Haunts
You might have run into or otherwise know Joshua from:
- Joshua is a mercenary, and anyone who's sought the services of a hired blade may have found themselves hiring him.
- Joshua frequents the Quicksand and the Gold Saucer, and can be found in either if not working.
- Joshua is secretly (or not-so-secretly, sometimes) a member of the Rogues' Guild, and if ye be a cull what's broken the Code, there's a good chance he'll 'ave mulled you and bitten back what ye bit.
