Name: Joshua Phillipe Knight
Nickname: Josh
Age: 25
Birth date: September 17th
Identifying gender: Male
Hobbies/Interests: Joshua grew up playing sports, and likes keeping active. He also fancies himself a bit of a shower-singer and likes to mess around in the DJ booth.
Background: Joshua was born to jazz singer Marion Knight and her carpenter husband Vladimir Phillipe. He had quite the unextraordinary upbringing. He made friends easily, and excelled at sports with even greater ease. He had a few high school romances, but none that left an impression on him. When Josh was 19, his mother got pregnant, quite on accident. Six months later, his father lost his job. Three months later a brother named Brady was born, and a father named Vladimir was never home - and often very drunk. But it was on Josh's 20th birthday that his mother was murdered in one of his father's drunken tirade. Joshua tried to protect his mother, which got him a knife wound to his cheek and a gash on his forehead; both of which would leave scarring marks. By the time Joshua got back on his feet, his mother was dead, and all he could do was take his baby brother and run. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Vladimir was arrested after he turned himself upon sobering up and realizing his actions. Brady was taken from Joshua's custody and became a ward of the state - although Joshua still visits his brother regularly and maintains a close relationship with him and hopes to one day regain custody. There was a great long period of time after the incident where Joshua blew off nearly all his money on parties and vices. He his still recovering from the financial hardships that caused him, and is trying to once more get back on his feet. However, he sometimes finds himself slipping back into old habits. His greatest fear is becoming his father, although he wonders if he is already there. Having dropped out of college only two years in, Joshua strongly regrets not getting a further education. He would love to return some day to pursue a career in the field of Family Violence, but money is forever an issue, and he just isn't sure he can commit, after being so accustomed to things being so short-lived.
Personality: To call Joshua social would be an understatement. He loves to talk, smile, and feel good - no matter what the cost. He is more of a act now, think later kind of guy, which has oftentimes lead him to trouble. Very flirtatious by nature, he can charm most anyone. However, he also gives into temptation quite easily. It is always better to be apart of the crowd and hating yourself than not in it at all.
