TURNER, JOSEPH WESTON

[JOSEPH WESTON TURNER]

PLAYER'S NAME: Meg, of course.
OTHER CHARACTERS: Rome, Ezra, Zoey.
CONTACTS: PM or through chatango.
RANDOM FACT: I couldn't resist; I mean look at his gorgeous face.

NAME: His parents had come up with his name after many a discussion of names they both hated or loved but didn't agree upon. Luckily, they came to a mutual agreement when it came to his final name Joseph Weston Turner.
ALIAS: As a child he was called many things from Joe, Joey, Jo-jo, Wes, Jay, J.T., Turner, and even the most common name, Josie. He never cared much about what people called him or anything so long as he knew that you were talking to him and not some other loser on the street; if he knew you meant him he'd respond.
AGE: He's seventeen years of age.
BIRTHDAY: He was born on August second, some seventeen years before.
GENDER: He is most definitely male, at least he hopes that's what that part signifies. If not than he is screwed.
SEXUAL PREFERENCE: Honestly, Josie doesn't care what you look like, how you dress, or what gender you classify yourself under. You have legs, you have a face, you have a body, and you have a personality; you're good enough. The only thing he asks is that you present yourself nicely enough where he'll at least pay you the time of day, otherwise he won't try anything. He's a free spirit, whatever happens, well, it just happens.
OCCUPATION: Josie is strictly a student, thanks for his mother and father sending him here for reasons unknown to himself. Apparently he needs to work on his behavior? Sending him to an uppity school like Lux Lucis is supposed to do that, apparently. He doesn't mind though.

GRADE: He's in his senior year.
CONCENTRATION: After changing his mind on his concentrations from many things that didn't make much sense to things that do make sense, back to not being sure, he finally decided on something he could possibly take interest on. He chose computer design, thus he is taking drawing classes and has been for a while. His main focus us on Art, as a general concentration rather than a specific one.
CLASS LIST: Eng 12, Span III, World Mythology, Pre-Calculus, Chem, Painting, Sketching, and Baseball.

HAIR: Josie was born with naturally bleach blond hair. Though over time he has bleached it to be white blond. He prefers this look; but his family said he should think of dying it a more neutral color, like brown, because his hair is a distraction or an attention seeking kind of color or whatever.
EYES: On occasion they seem dark, and sometimes light, but they are blue. They are a gray-blue but definitely a shade of blue that seems to change it's definition depending on clothes and light.
HEIGHT: He stands at a very medium size, with a slender frame to boot, he's only five feet and seven inches tall, over a few inches shorter than his father, and three inches taller than his mother.
WEIGHT: Josie is a slender boy, he likes to keep his frame small, tender, and fit. Although he tries to stay fit and muscular he somehow always has that small skinny frame with hardly any muscle mass; good thing you don't need that to play baseball. Even though he doesn't seem like it he's light and quick on his feet, and he's strong. He blames that he trains to be quick for baseball.

Joseph is the kind of person that walks around numb. He honestly could care less about what you have to say to him or what you to him. Honestly, he just wants to know what it is and who you are before you just randomly do stuff that involves him. Otherwise, Josie doesn't particularly say no even if he knows it's a bad idea. He just doesn't care, sure he'd think about it for a moment and he'd know the dangers of something, but then he'd think that it could be something that is fun and he'd at least want to try the stupid thing once before ever saying no to it. He'll try almost everything once... If it's fun it's something he may consider doing again.

He's not stupid, he just doesn't think about things before he says them, or goes through with it. Which causes concern for most of the people that are clost to him. It doesn't matter if it's dangerous, or he could get hurt. He just doesn't think until after the fact and then he's thinking, "Oh, maybe I shouldn't have done that. Oh well." Dares he normally won't turn down, or if you pay him to do something stupid he won't say no. He does have limits, but most of the time he'll push them and go with it. He's not a dare devil, in fact he's far from that. Most of the time he's literally petrified, but he just doesn't show much of that on his face or in his persona. It never seems to bother him.

It takes the boy a while to fully trust someone, no matter the kinds of conversations he has with someone. It's the one thing Josie is very clear on, the people he chooses to be friends with. It's a big deal for him, because friends are the people that make you. And Josi wants to be sure that the friends he has are going to be people he would legitly spend hours a day with; because most likely that's how it's going to be. They have to be able to carry on legit conversations, they have to be fun, and funny, and that have to be cool by his standards -- which is almost everyone.

Josie pretty much loves everyone. He doesn't care who you are or what you are, he will be your friend if you'll be his and you're worthy. He honestly could care less who or what you are, or what you look like. It never really bothered him in any sense. Same goes for his attraction of people, if you have confidence and you're nice to yourself and the people around you, or you make hi laugh on end, he'll most likely be attracted to you. And for Josie it doesn't really matter what you look like or what gender you are. So long as you are strictly a human being.

Expect there to be random out burts and comments from him. He tends to say things wihtout really thinking and on occasion that can be quite the random conversation. He can easily change a conversation without thinking, and he's usually not paying attention unless he is fully interested. Which means classes don't blow over well with him because they are long, boring, and they don't interest him. He's always in for long tutoring sessions though because then he's wasting his actual free time trying to learn in stead of spending time that he could be using for better more important things; like sleeping or drawing, or partying.

Josie is not organized in being or thought. Which explains a lot about his attire and his likes of the simple things; like Hello Kitty, and My Little Pony. He's like a little child at heart, and probably not a male child at heart. Or possibly a really innocent boy that just doesn't know much about anything else. But again, Josie doesn't care.

Joseph Weston Turner was born to a Reverend Andrew Christopher Turner and Madeleine Claire Turner of Washington, D.C. Andrew Turner is the Reverend of a Christian church in Washington, D.C. He and his lovely wife, Madeleine, had been married for a good four years before they found out that God had blessed them with a child. Everyday Andrew would pray alongside the bed of his wife -- they believed that a woman should lay in rest during the pregnancy to ensure the safety of the child -- to have a safe birth when the child was in the womb. Andrew made sure that his wife had people in the house while he was at the church teaching his sermons.

When Andrew was not at the church he was by his wife's side praying for her and their child. They wanted to raise the child in a house of God and teach him the ways of God. They were quite the religious family, and they were proud of their religion and the fact that they were bringing God's child into their family. At first it seemed to be a dream, but the dream ended when Madeleine became quite ill and lost the child due to her lack of proper fluids and nutrition -- her body had rejected everything. Madeleine went into deep depression after she had lost her first child, she even slept in a different room for months after.

Andrew did everything he could to make his wife happy again. He would pray outside the closed door to her, he would pray to God, and at the church he would ask for his mass to pray for his wife. They were a small close knit church; they were family. The members of the church would drop by Reverend Andrew's home and bring gifts to his wife.

Slowly she came out from the room, though still depressed, but Andrew managed to bring a smile back to her face. He had adopted a little kitten from the SPCA and named it after the child they were going to have before Madeleine became ill, Angel. She smiled and spent much of her time with the puppy and training him; she began to sleep in the same room as her husband again and things soon fell back into place. After a year, Andrew and his wife were expecting another child. They were blessed again with God's good graces and they started off slow.

After nine months of waiting and praying they had a beautiful baby boy with a head full of ridiculously blond tresses. His blue eyes matched his mother, but his blond hair was much lighter than hers. He got most of his looks from his father, apart from his pale and frail frame and his hair and eyes. Madeleine Turner takes the credit for those little details.

The boy was an early bloomer, after a few months he began crawling and then several months later he began walking, and no sooner had a little less then a year gone by he began to "talk". Though his talking was mostly babble until him mother taught him how to say "Mom", "Dad", and "God". Seeing as how they were a religious family it was expected that he be taught that word from the beginning since he was God's child; a blessing from Him.

The older Josie became they began teaching him the ways of the Lord. He was also home-schooled by his mother, and then he went to Sunday schooling as well. He went through this good boy phase most of his life, of course, once he grew into his awkward pre-teen years he began to use his ability of free thought. Some of his thoughts were not the kind of thoughts a ministers son should be thinking. He was often in trouble, and once or twice he was kicked out of Sunday school because he would try to take sneak peak at what was under girls' dresses. But he'd use the line, "God gave us these parts, it's not a Sin to want to take glory in them." His parents used the excise that he was young and didn't know what he was doing and didn't know the consequences of his actions.

After a lecture or two, and a good spanking, he grew out of that curious phase and kind of grew into himself. He grew older, and he seemed to be quiet and well behaved. But boys will be boys, and he made friends fairly easy. When it was time for most kids to be going to middle school he convinced his parents to let him go since he had been able to keep up with most of the sessions in which they would be taught in a public school. They allowed him to go because they knew, being God's child, that he wouldn't fall into the Sins of modern society. And seeing as how he was young and mostly innocent, he didn't.

He still grew older, school passed, friends were made. People changed, things changed, and ninth grade came along. Josie stopped caring about family and church; he cared more about hanging with friends and being social. He got into things that kids his age probably shouldn't get into, but they did anyway because it made them look cool. He hung out and partied; his whole outlook on life simply changed.

His parents noticed the attitude change. He was hanging out with older people, doing things older kids did, and he was hardly home. During the times he was home he was short lipped and gave no lick of care to his parents opinions. He just wanted to be out with people or sleeping, he didn't care about anything else, really.

When he heard his parents would be gone for a huge mass up in New York at some church event or whatever he had planned to throw a huge party while they were gone. It would be the opportunity of his life to make his freshmen year in high school that much more amazing. He invited all the girl and the Seniors, and anyone else who wanted to come, to his house and threw a party. There was booze and drugs, girls and boys doing things they should be doing in the "house of God". Josie honestly didn't care or think about it, thinking never seemed to be his thing at that time.

A neighbor had called his parents and told them what had been going down at their house while they were out and they came home instantly. There house was filled with teenagers drinking, sinning, or passed out on the floor. Luckily while they were in New York they heard of a place where some parents sent their troubled children -- a place where children would become stars -- but it came with a heavy price. Well, Andrew and Madeleine considered it, and they did have the money for them to send him there for the next three years of his high school life. To convince him to go they said it was a real party school, their were no rules, lots of girls, and he could work on things he'd want to work on; like music (drumming), his sports (baseball), or even his art (mostly sketches and digital) -- which were some things they knew he had grown to love over the years, but they weren't big mile markers in his life.

He went, but when he first got there, with no money to go back to Washington, D.C. with he was stuck at a place that was obviously not much of a party school. Needless to say he was disappointed, but he'd be okay for a kid that started in the mid-semester.

Josie has been at Lux Lucis for two years so far and survived this long; and now he was working on his last year.
