Josiah Dunn

Josiah Dunn is a character played by Cragmyre.
==General Information==
Josiah Dunn is a very old man, with naïve tendencies, who lives at the Rooftop Commune, located on the roof next to the Up-n-Atom restaurant on Vinewood Boulevard.
==Physical Description==
Always rocking some form of mohawk, his signature handlebar moustache in his greying old hair and adorned with aviators. He is usually dressed up either in denim jackets, or his Rooftop Warrior leather outfit topped with his old WW2 helmet he wrote "Born to Die" on.
==Background Information==
Born in 1927 in Kentucky, USA, Josiah Dunn was the son of a toy maker and a midwife.
When born he emerged with a hair growth condition, which years later would be known to be called "Capillus Erroris", where the hair on his head grows in reverse, this causes Josiah to have a full beard at the age of 1, however a bald head until he was in his mid 20s. Due to this condition he was able to forge papers and convince the government he was old enough to be conscripted into the 2nd World War.
During his time overseas fighting for the world he left behind he was awarded with various medals for the deeds he heroically done during the battle of Normandy, where he and fellow soldier Private Jacob Patterson were both separated from their units, were able to take out an anti air bunker just the 2 of them, with Private Patterson suffering injuries and loosing his his leg from the knee down.
After WW2 Josiah became close friends with Jacob, and while Josiah continued serving in the military rising through the ranks, doing tours during the Cold War, Vietnam and a handful of Black Op missions, Jacob looked after the farm they had bought together back in Kentucky. After many years passed and times became more forgiving of the thought of the two them being together, Josiah and Jacob lent into the feelings that they had grown into over the time they had spent together. 
After being with each other for many decades Josiah and Jacob decide to adopt a child together sometime in the late 80s, a small bundle of joy barely a year old, which they named Robert Dunn, Robbie for short. It was after his adoption a series of unfortunate events occurred, the first being that Jacob was involved in a car accident a few years after the adoption and slipped into a coma, this in turn made Josiah resort to alcohol to ease his pain. Then in the years proceeding the nanny that Josiah hired to take care of Robbie turned out to be brainwashing him into thinking that she was his actual mother for the first 10 years of his life, which resulted in Robbie emotionally distancing himself and resenting Josiah when he fired her as he didn't understand what was going on, this caused a massive rift to form between the two of them, this just grew worse until on Robbie' 14th birthday, when Josiah had too much to drink and drunkenly revealed that Robbie was adopted and he wished he never took him in as he believed he was the reason that Jacob was in a coma, due to this revelation Robbie packed his things and left in the night. 
Waking the next day, regretting the things he said and Robbie nowhere to be seen, Josiah's guilt became too much and after a trip to see Jacob once more, he went out to try and find his son. After traveling around the country for years following what breadcrumbs he was able to find here and there, hearing rumours of Robbie being apart of a chop shop crew, he was able to get a hold of a more recent photo of his son at a demolition derby in San Andreas. With this new found information, his military no fucks given background, and the yearning he has to have family again, Josiah is will do anything in his power to make up for the fuck ups of his past, or at the very least be a man that his son will be proud of.
==Relationships==
Bennett Burner
TBA
Mike Legstrong
Josiah first met Yarp (Mike Legstrong) when going into Up-n-Atom to get some food, their first encounter involved Yarp getting into Josiah's car without invitation, this led to a 2 hour long conversation where Josiah was trying to decipher the "yarps" and "narps" that Yarp was saying. After a long conversation and figuring out that Yarp was apart of a group of people that were private investigators Josiah decided to get help from them to help find his missing son Robbie.
Yarp then led Josiah back to Up-n-Atom, to meet up with the boss of the investigators, Bennet Burner, this is where he found out their name was the Pet Detectives. This meeting with the Pet Detectives led to the Fake Robbie Incident, where Yogi Swole with the help of Yarp and Bennet Burner, pretended to be Josiah's son.
After the Fake Robbie Incident with Yarp attacking Josiah, tying him up to a tree, and leaving him for dead, Josiah hasnt seen Yarp.
Yogi Swole
TBA
Rosemary Walsh
When Josiah first met Rosemary she was outside of Up-n-Atom sitting with Bennet Burner, and she was selling scented candles for her small business Wix and Wax.
During a car journey with Rosemary, Burner and Yogi Swole, Burner was rubbing it in the faces of Josiah and Rosemary that they dont have any family around, saying that both Yogi and themself have Wombat and they have no one. This made Rosemary and Josiah decide that Josiah was going to adopt her as his grand-daughter in spite of Burner.
Carl Wheezer
Just after the Fake Robbie Incident Josiah met Carl outside of Up-n-Atom, while trying to talk to Burner about what had happened to him. After getting distressed at how Burner was constantly changing the subject and ignoring him, Josiah then left and then got a call from Carl. During this call Carl asked Josiah if he's doing alright, which opened a flood gate of emotions out and he went on a 10 minute monologue on how he was trying to find his son, only being in the city for a day and already being hospitalised, the people that said they were going to help are now doing the opposite and currently feeling alone because of it. After divulging all of this information Carl then told Josiah that he needs to pay him for his time because he's a therapist. Josiah only having $60 to his name sent him all that he had, and within the next 30 seconds he then received back $561 back from Carl. To this day Carl's contact name in Josiah's contacts is "The Good Therapist"
Beavis Johnson
Beavis and Josiah first met when being shown the Pet Detectives advertisement video up at the Sisyphus Theatre. At this time Beavis had recently had an inexperienced EMS perform a lobotomy on him which had caused him to become slow, sluggish in movement and have problems with his memory, sometimes going into a fugue state where he believed he was a WW2 soldier, because of this he and Josiah got on rather well and Josiah gave him the nickname "Helmet".
Just after the Fake Robbie Incident, while Josiah was trying to remember the series of events that led him to be attacked in the woods, he ran into Beavis who offered to help him remember what happened to him. Going through the events that happened, Beavis was able to help him remember that they went to the Sisyphus Theatre. So to hopefully help trigger some memories the both of them went over to the theatre, where they found an etching that Josiah made on the seats while the others were having a meeting. This then made Beavis relapse back into his WW2 fugue state where he remembered bits and pieces of the conversation that Burner, Yogi and Yarp were having with him, which was about taking Josiah up to the woods and have a picnic with him. This revelation was what sent Josiah on his path to the rooftop and interrogate Burner.
