LIKES:

• Watching movies
  
• Video Games
  
• Green vegetables
  
• Night time
  
• Popcorn
  
• Novels
  
• Writing

DISLIKES:

• Cookies
  
• Day time
  
• All those new YA novels about fallen angels, ghouls, vampires and all the other supernatural stuff which he knows isn't real.
  
• Alcohol
  
• Live concerts
  
• People telling him he has no feelings.
  

STRENGTHS:

• Writing - This is probably one of the things he prides himself on because it's the one thing he knows he's good at. Be it poems, novellas, short stories, novels, sonnets, plays, he's done all of those. He just loves writing.
  
• Practical Studies - He's rather good at practical, applicable concepts and subjects and spells, compared to things relying on memory and recall. For example, he's better at Defense, Charms, Transfiguration compared to History or Potions.
  
• Confidence - He doesn't feel shy or nervous about doing something and is confident enough to know he can do something well.

WEAKNESSES:

• Tactless - This is probably his biggest weakness. He is not at all good about putting himself in somebody else's shoes and seeing their point of view. This often results in him being tactless and mean even when he's trying not to be. He just doesn't connect with people on a certain emotional level.
  
  
• His undiagnosed disorder (Better explained in the personality section) - He suffers from DPD, which has remain undiagnosed since it is so hard to detect. But it usually leaves him confused, disoriented and scared for a long periods of time, something he doesn't like at all.
  
  
• His family - This would include his father, his step mum, his step sister, his half brother and his dad's ex wife. These are the people who've been there for him through thick and thin and he'd do anything for them.

HABITS/QUIRKS:

• He never showers in the morning. It's something he just can't do. He has to shower before bed and any other time of the day if needed, but never in the morning.
  
• During the holidays, he stays up all night and sleeps all day. He's nocturnal that way and functions better at night.
  
• He rarely parts with his fingerless gloves unless he's bathing or being forced to help in the kitchen or something. He feels odd without them.

WISHES/GOALS:

FEARS:

• animals. not the big ones on care of magical creatures, but the tiny ones like cats, dogs, rodents, toads, etc. they make him feel uneasy. anything which he knows is living and yet he cannot communicate in any way with makes him uneasy.
  
• fire - he's pyrophobic

OVERALL PERSONALITY:

• detached - Josh doesn't do a lot of human emotions. He rarely loses his temper, rarely gets angry and always has a calm demeanor. His immunity to negative emotions, extends to his positive emotions, as well, though. He doesn't get deliriously happy, or excited or nervous. Nor does he feel the normal human reactions of pain, pity, empathy or sympathy. He's almost anesthetized to regular emotions.
  
  
• artistic - He's a very creative and imaginative person, and the emotions he never really feels fully, he writes beautifully about in short stories, plays and poems. When often asked about how he wrote such beautiful phrases and characters without feeling any of those passionate things, he merely shrugs and says he imagined it or saw it.
  
  
• smart - Despite his reluctance in applying himself, Josh is an incredibly smart child. Even if he doesn't always get the top most grades (mostly Es and As), he always answers right in class if called upon and is wonderful at practical magic. He works poorly with facts, and better with concepts, which is why his best subjects are Defense, Charms and Trasnfiguration, and he's horrible at Potions and History of Magic (all of which he dropped after he gave his OWLs)
  
  
• cunning - Josh can be extremely uncaring of other people's feelings and emotions when he wants something. Unable to relate with their hurt or anger, he doesn't mind manipulating somebody to get something in return or work his way through a problem. His family are probably the only people he'd never use.
  
  
• skeptical - He's also extremely untrusting and negatively reactive to new situations and new people. He doesn't like change and upheaval in general, which is why his new step mom and coming to Hogwarts were all life changing, difficult processes for him which took months to accept and live with. He doesn't easily adapt to his surroundings and is always looking for something familiar and comforting.
  
  
• impulsive - There are times when Josh doesn't really think something through before he does it. Difficult to explain the situation, the emotions which his body usually shies from and suppresses (unconsciously), usually burst out of him in bits of confusing phases. So if there's somebody he doesn't particularly like, he might, on one given day, snap at them and pick a fight. Somebody he's attracted to and keeps an eye out for, might one day become an object of his fixation and complete attention. If he'd upset or sad about something, one day he'll be utterly heartbroken. During these phases he's very rash and does whatever comes to his mind.
  
  
  [[Note:- Josh suffers from a type of personality disorder known as DPD or Depersonalization Disorder. Difficult to detect, it is a disorder in which the sufferer is affected by persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization and/or derealization. Diagnostic criteria include persistent or recurrent experiences of feeling detached from one's mental processes or body.
  
  The core symptom of depersonalization disorder is the subjective experience of unreality, and as such there are no clinical signs. Common descriptions are: watching oneself from a distance; out-of-body experiences; a sense of just going through the motions; feeling as though one is in a dream or movie; not feeling in control of one's speech or physical movements; and feeling detached from one's own thoughts or emotions.Individuals with the disorder commonly describe a feeling as though time is 'passing' them by and they are not in the notion of the present.
  
  Some of the more common factors that exacerbate dissociative symptoms are negative stimuli, stress, subjective threatening social interaction, and unfamiliar environments. Factors that tend to diminish symptoms are comforting interpersonal interactions, intense physical or emotional stimulation, and relaxation.Depersonalization disorder is associated with cognitive disruptions in early perceptual and attentional processes.]]

OVERALL HISTORY:

[/i] it felt unreal, yet so tangible, and the blood soaking through. He remembered thinking he was dying because for moments he felt like he was seeing himself and there was no pain, only numbness. And he remembered Diane. Diane, whom he'd screamed at and stormed out on. The same woman who didn't even shout at Gary, only comforted him, drove them to the hospital and even held Josh's hand when he got stitches (even though he swore he wasn't in pain, but it really stung like a bitch). That night he sat with her and Gary and taught her how to play video games and informed her that if she was going to live with them soon, she'd better get used to getting her ass kicked in Call of Duty.

That was three years ago. Now, a sixth year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he's come much further than he ever imagined he could when he'd first been sorted. He has a father who loves him, a step mother who's always there, siblings whom he doesn't refer to as step or half or whatever (when people ask, he has a brother and a sister, no questions asked) and Louise, who is like a second mum to him (he thinks it's an absolute sign of devotion and trust that Diane doesn't have the least bit of problem with her husband hanging around his ex wife as if they're best friends). But more than that, Josh has finally learnt to take responsibility for himself and grown into an amazing human being, although there will forever be a part of him which will remain closed off, confused and reserved, and needing a push in the right direction.
