Joseph Parks

Joseph Parks is the deuteragonist of the Shardsverse series. He is the childhood friend and best friend of the protagonist, Rosa Everrin, and a senior at Evergreen High. Joseph is an orphan who was raised by his grandmother after both of his older sisters disappeared when he was younger for unknown reasons.

Backstory
Joseph was born on September 20, 2002 to Samuel Parks and Elise Kagami. At the age of 5, he moved to Evergreen, Oregon where he met his best friend, Rosa. He never met his older sisters but was aware of their existence due to tales passed on by his grandmother. Currently, Joseph is the Salutatorian of Evergreen High and is behind Rosa, who is the Valedictorian.

Appearance
Joseph is a tall young man. He has pale skin which causes other people to think that he is of Scandinavian descent. He believed this fact until his grandmother revealed to him that he wasn't. Joseph has short, spiky brown hair and sapphire blue eyes. His bangs cover portions of his forehead. He wears various outfit over the course of the series but his most commonly seen outfit is a navy blue hoodie and black pants.

In his battle gear, he wears a long-sleeved hunter's jacket that is silver in coloration with a brown leather hunter's vest on top. Above it, he wears a long billowing dark blue hooded cape that reaches down to his ankles. On his forearms are silver vambraces with a hidden dart launcher inside of it. He wears long black pants and sound muffling boots.

Personality
WIP

Joseph is an outgoing extrovert who can pretty much get along with anyone. He is what Rosa refers to as a "social chameleon" as he is able to fit into nearly any sort of social situation. Due to his personality, Joseph is fairly popular at his school. A stark contrast to his friend, Rosa, as other people look at the two. The most common comparison made between them refers to Rosa as a dark raven that stays away from everyone while Joseph is a white swan that everyone flocks to.

Despite the fact that he often berates his friend for her antics, he, nevertheless, finds himself laughing at all of her pranks.

Can create a large rain of arrows that is able to damage large portions of an entire city easily)|Small Country Level (Should be comparable to Transcendent Rosa, Fer, and Sara.

Standard Equipment:


 * Skyline Predator: Skyline Predator is Joseph's bow. The bow is made of an extremely durable yet light metal known as Hydronium. The bow splits into two curved shortswords and which can channel magic through them.

Intelligence: While he is behind Rosa, Joseph is the Salutatorian of his school. He has good grasp at concepts in both academia and magic allowing him to learn complex spells mostly affiliated with the Lightning Element. He learned archery from a teacher at the town of Aurbis, learning how to hit the target, just the target, after a few hits and eventually evolved to be a fairly good archer. Though not as good at strategy as Sara, Joseph is capable of coming up with multi-step plans complete with backups given the information presented to him. This has led him to be offered a position in the school's chess club.

Weaknesses: His weakness comes in the form of Rosa as he will gladly jump in harm's way to save her. His abandonment issues can also be turned against him which can mess with his mental state, making him sloppy in battle, allowing people to defeat him.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:


 * Imperium Arrow: An arrow made of pure lightning. It has enough destructive power to punch a hole through a wall.


 * Arrow Storm: Creates one arrow which splits into several different arrows.


 * Summoning: Iaveis: Joseph summons a massive dragon comprised of pure lightning to fight alongside him.


 * Transcendence: A heightened state that can be achieved by mages through training or perilous situations. This state boosts the user's magical and physical capabilities about five to ten times greater than their normal limits.
