Bio: [/b][font="Courier New"]Joshua was a typical problem child. He was loved by his entire family and was a pleasure to be around... until he turned eleven. What his parents called "peer pressure" shaped his behavior during those years, leading to drug use, bad grades and even promiscuity with classmates of both genders. He was sent off to boot camp to correct his "evil" ways, then eventually joined a real enlistment service since it offered him freedom from his family. The Military was not more accepting in general, but at least he could live on his own.
The cost of this freedom was a trip overseas to Iraq where he was fought several armed insurrections. Bonding through the fear of death, as well as the heat of battle Joshua and a PVC: Matthiew Harper started seeing each other romantically, and eventually became very intimate.
[/font][font="Courier New"]
Several months later, Joshua was scheduled to take a task force into a suspicious house. He was forced to watch it for hours, waiting on the people inside to leave. After watching the door for four hours he began to see shadows running along the doors surface, as if portions of the wood had a slight grade of transparency. this continued for the next fifteen minutes. At that time the shadows were focused into shapes, then faces. He could eventually see the entire contents of the house when he stared at certain sections long enough. when he squinted his eyes, instead of losing vision he seemed to see a smaller portion of the world expanded, like in a telescope. only a low-opacity shell of a house hindered his vision of the situation. The entire place was full of suicide bombers, and the garage was packed with cars full of explosive equipment. He reported this to his superior officer, but was scalded for trying to encourage an assault without evidence. He did everything to con he could to convince him but never made any progress. fifteen minutes later two cars emerged. Joshua leapt into action sending rounds into the cars. He set off a chain reaction of explosions lighting up the sky and sending shrapnel everywhere including directly at him.
He suffered minor injuries to most of his body, but lost his left arm. He was no longer fit from the service and retired at 25, receiving a few metals as well as a good scholarship to any school he is accepted in. Currently he is attending the university of Phoenix, and taking advantage of online courses. He had never thought of returning home, but when his parents died in a mysterious "accident" He Was contacted about his family heritage. In his parents will, details about the Maldito family, as well as an invitation fell into his hands. Having little better to do, he decided to find out about the ancient family history, and eventually became drawn into it himself.
[/font][b]Abilities/Powers:[/b] [font="Courier New"]He has the ability to see exceptionally well, comparable to a telescopes range. He also has the ability to see light that is being obscured by solid objects, as well as immunity to bright lights. this means he can see through a wall if the lights are on on the other side, but not if they are off. He is also a fantastic shot, but because of his handicap he only can use low caliber pistols effectively. He is fantastic shape, and is intelligent enough to plan decent attack strategies, using military knowledge as well as natural talent.[/font]
[b]Weaknesses: [/b][font="Courier New"]after the incident in Iraq, he has held contempt for any figure of authority. He can be hostile to anyone issuing him orders. His arm is a handicap that is hard to overcome. if forced into combat, he would be useless against any trained physical fighter, unless he was able to shoot them. [/font]
Also as stated above, his eyes need light in order to see through objects, and if a wall is too thick (about half a meter) he won't be able to do it at all. Also he can only wield single handed weapons, and guns must have very low caliber in order to be accurate.
[b]Weapons[/b]: [font="Courier New"]Has a licensed concealable Glock 17C with extended magazines. This extremely low recoil gun is perfect for someone who cannot use another hand for balance. He also carries a Military grade 50 x 50 pair of binoculars, since they exponentially increase his vision, and his power eyesight doesn't increase when he uses digital Zoom (he can only see pixels with those)
