[though Josh could easily sit inside the office given to him, he tends to wander around the hospital a lot, making sure he can help as much as possible. it's what he's doing this evening, even, and right about now, he's passing by the door]

Character: Josh Foley / “Elixir”
Series: New X-Men / X-Force
Character Age: 17
Canon: The X-Men have always been about the younger generation growing up and facing the persecution of the world, only the current generation hasn’t had it easy. Realizing that they’re the youngest of their kind, they’ve left behind their relationship drama to face many death threats and the pressing fear that they may be next. Desperation to protect mutants from dying out has led to the reformation of a brutal task force, X-Force, which has recruited two of these young mutants, one of which being the powerful healer, Josh Foley.
He was once the golden boy, in both appearance and in longing for attention, who wanted nothing more than to please others and be liked. Josh had always been surprisingly perceptive and good at motivational speeches for an otherwise typical teenage boy (insensitivity, messy bedroom, and a rebellious tendency to play hero). And this hasn’t really changed. With the added trauma of seeing someone die and going to Hell, he’s changed his outlook on life. Once an overeager fighter, he’s turned into a pacifistic healer, wanting to do anything necessary to help his kind survive. This includes having extensive medical knowledge shoved into his head. Not that this is easy to tell. Josh still has a tendency to moan, complain, and make things about him—as well as act like an overeager puppy when others approve of his talents. But he’s determined to help others and make them appreciate life. Sure, he’s fairly subdued now in comparison to the pushy teenager who thought it was a good idea to date a teacher, but the same, dorky golden boy is still there, just hoping to make thing work out in the end.
Note: Josh is taken from X-Force issue #14.
Sample Post:
Look, uh, I know it’s been hard for the zombie population here at this camp for a while. Horrific summer camps are supposed to be full of scary zombies that frighten everyone, and after those guys showed up and managed to withstand bullets and carry on even while on fire, you guys have been a real joke. You weren’t even the head honchos in the first place, and now you’re nothing! I know it’s gotta be hard to get brains when they ignore you, but you have a chance to be better—and I can get you there! That’s why I’ve been called here to help out. I’ve always been a little nervous in handling the dead, but I’m willing to make you the Incredible Hulks of zombies, but probably not as smart. Even I can’t do that. If I do, though, there’s one condition: you have to be non-violent Hulk zombies. It won’t be Hulk-zombies smash! We want brains! It’s gotta be Hulk-zombies make you cupcakes and be peaceful! And maybe you give us brains. Fighting’s a bad idea, and that’s not what I signed up for.
I know, it’s probably weird to be turned into awesome zombies but be forced to be a pacifist. But just stay there and listen to me. I’ll make you more terrifying Arnold Schwarzenegger in a pair of speedos. Terrifying but sensitive to the needs of others. You want brains? You have to be scary, but not needy. Desperation is probably why people have been ignoring you for a while. And I know the toucans have been making it difficult for you. They’ve pulled out your eyes, tearing up the optic nerve, and making you play fetch. When I’m done, you’ll have optic nerves of steel. I promise. If you want to stand out more, I’ll help there, too. Colors of the rainbow, spread all around! It’ll be really cool.
Think of what you could do with this. You can mack on hot campers in camp. If you’re a lady zombie, you can show how to bring your milkshake to the yard. Just … don’t tell me. Guys can put on disco suits and strut around like John Travolta. Or you could just relax and enjoy music. You don’t have to worry about what’s your age these days, so skip out on the Blink 182, and maybe embrace something closer to your age. Van Halen, maybe? I always thought “Hot For Teacher” was a great song for being so old.
Are you up for this new lifestyle and awesome look, boys and girls? If so, step right up for new eyes, thighs of steel, rock hard abs, and brains that melt in your head and not in your mouth!
