Name: Joshua VentriteSex: MaleAge: 47Race: Vaguelly HumanPhysical descriptionJoshua is huge. He stands well over six feet tall, and is almost as broad across. By now, a lot of this bulk is around the girth area, in the form of an immense beer gut, but he still has a rather impressive physique, if someone were weird and hungry enough to suck away all the fat.He is white, he has very long black hair in dreadlocks, and he has bright blue eyes.Personality and interestsThe one word, which is often used in hushed murmurs away from Joshua, that people like to use to describe him, is "Witchdoctor". Of course, there are other far less complimentary names than this, but less mentioned about those the better.He is utterly and completely convinced that he has dark skin, in the form of a Jamaican, rather than his actual paleness. Nothing anyone can say or do will convince him otherwise of this, and pressing attempts will result in him accusing the do-gooder that they are harrassing him because he's black.Other than that, he is quite strange.His basic approach to all things medical involve dribbly wax candles, slaughtered livestock, large voodoo dolls with pins, and various probably illegal substances inserted or inhaled through various orifices.He always speaks with a blatantly overdone and fake Jamaican accent, which he is convinced is flawless.HistoryJoshua grew up in Birmingham, England, which really explains quite a lot about how he turned out.At the age of twenty four, after graduating from university, he moved to Jamaica to ply his chosen profession as a doctor. It was here that he was introduced to the wonderful and strangely blurred world of strange chemicals and their use. It is while he was in one of these "trances" that he stumbled upon the local medicine man, and the two fell to talking...Four years later, he moved away from Jamaica with radical new thinking toward medicine and psychiatry. He was somewhat shunned by his peers, due to his mobile sacrificial altar and herd of goats he persisted in taking everywhere with him. It was after another year of fruitlessly trying to find a practice that would accept him that he decided to join JMC.He passed the medical examination there but only marginally, since most of his answers were along the lines of "It be due to bad JOOJOO mon!" Despite this, the examiners let him through, and after a few years at the academy, he was assigned to a starship.After that, he was quickly assigned to a different starship. And another, and another. For some reason, people seemed to shunt him on to the next ship as quickly as they could, and he eventually ended up in hq, as shrink for the director there who was having emotional problems.He served in this new role for several more years, until the Director eventually uttered the immortal line "Get rid of the bastard! Please! If I have to hear one more sermon about my bad Joojoo I'll go mad! Get him away from me!" and Joshua was stationed on the Blue Dwarf, which they considered the least likely to return from its mission.Favourite quote/ saying/ piece of advice"Is because I is black isn't it..."
