Name: Josh Newman
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: Relatively tall and husky, with blue eyes and semi-short, blonde hair.*Image unprovided; in need of creation
Species Humani
Personality: Josh possesses a very caring, yet protective, personality. He is very protective of his twin sister, Sophie, and cares for her deeply, sometimes becoming overly protective. He is also said to be the twin that talks and doesn't think. He will mouth off to people if they are getting on his nerves or if he is angry with with them. He is very kind and caring, willing to sacrifice himself for others, and will never back down from a fight. He can often be quite gullible, but is very cautious when believing someone.
Background: Josh is the younger of a set of twins. He was born on December 21st, 1991; only 28 seconds after his sister. His parents are Sara and Richard Newman. His aura color is that of pure gold, and has the scent of oranges. The twins came to Urbadelphia in the hopes that they can live normal lives after the countless things they've encountered elsewhere.
History: (Really) Long story short; Sophie and Josh went on a leisurely stroll in a forest. They became unusually lost, and wandered into Hekate's territory. (Hekate is known as the Goddess with Three Faces.) She offered to Awaken them after destruction started to fall upon her territory. She told them the risks, and they willingly agreed, so they could fight back. However, Hekate only had enough time to Awaken Sophie, before Hekate's territory was fully destroyed. She directed them to see The Witch of Endor (the oldest; and first; witch on earth) so Sophie could be trained in the Magic of Air. The Witch; instead of taking the time to fully train Sophie; gave her her own memories (similar to the book, "The Giver"). [Another risky move.] They soon went to see The Comte de Saint-Germain as directed to by The Witch. Sophie was then trained by him in the Magic of Fire, while Josh was trained with Clarent by Joan of Arc (Saint-Germain's wife). Josh eventually started to side with the 'enemies', and was awakened by Mars, The God of War. Sophie saved Josh, and they fled to Urbadelphia to get away from all of the destruction that seemed to fall upon them everywhere they went.
Abilities:
Superhuman Senses - After his Awakening, his senses became heightened to a supernatural level of acuteness.
Swordsman - After training with The Maiden Warrior and Joan of Arc (two immortals found only in legends), he has learned some swordsmanship skills and is a master swordsman. He also possesses Clarent, the Coward Blade.
Master Tactician & Strategist - After being Awakened by Mars Ultor (another legend), he received all of Mars's military and battle expertise, making Josh a master fighter, planner, weapons designer, tactician, strategist, and battle planner.
Crossings - Because of his Awakened senses, Josh is able to see Crossings (though he's never seen one).
Aura Manipulation - He is able to use his Aura to create a suit of solid, golden armor over his body.
Extra Information:
Awakening - Awakening is the act of giving humani the ability to hear, touch, taste, see, and smell extraordinarily better than usual; as well as giving them the ability to manipulate magic. Essentially, being Awakened 'enhances the senses humani have come to abandon throughout the centuries'. Most humani do not survive the Awakening, being over-powered by their stronger senses; causing their body to shut down. There is also a catch to being Awakened and being able to use 'Magic': your energy is easily drained (because everything is directly correlated to your bodily strength; even the strongest of men can become weak after using their powers).
Clarent, the Coward's Blade - Clarent is 'the Sword of Fire' and the twin of Excalibur. It is a stone sword about 20 inches long, and has a slightly different hilt than its twin. It is called the Coward's Blade because it was used by Mordred to kill King Arthur. When a living thing is struck by Clarent, the holder is slightly over-whelmed with the emotions and memories of what was struck. It can also whip up wisps of flame when swung in a fast motion; and creates many sparks when struck with, and strikes, another blade.
(The personality of Josh was not directly given in The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel, and hence is given courtesy of this wiki page. Also, this 'version' of Josh was taken from after the conclusion of the 2nd book in the series. As such, he does not possess all of the characteristics and abilities he normally should at this time.
