Joel

### ***Description***

Joel usually keeps to himself, only speaking when spoken to. Those who know him know that hes a generous man who rarely takes anything serious. He has a dark brown complexion with his hair being in dreads made of copper. His eyes are a deep gray, only lighting up when he activates their flashlights. His mask is his ears and eyes, as without it hes practically deaf and blind. The suit he wears was tailored by a member of the Artual kingdom, and is made to be extra resilient to external factors. His mechanical leg features a light that shows the power remaining in it, and in times where its necessary, Joel can make his leg grow an extra layer of armor. Under all of that, his body is full of scars from the many surgeries done on him to keep him alive after his incident in 4BAE.

### ***Early Life***

Joel remembers nearly nothing of his early life, only that his family was caring and shared the same intelligence as himself. His entire family comprised of some of the smartest engineers on the planet, some of them working with huge corporations. Joel was born 9 years before the aberration, when everything was somewhat normal. However, after an incident occurred that caused him to lose his leg, his family put their minds together to use redstone to develop a mechanical leg that Joel could use. To use this leg, they also needed to add multiple other components into Joel, essentially turning him into a robot. After these surgeries were done, out of fear that he wasn't going to be accepted by the outside world, his family practically shut him off. This "hibernation" period started in 2BAE, and it was only in 96AAE that he was found in a ruined city by King Theron and taken in as a member of the Artual Kingdom.

### ***Details of his Enhancements***

#### ***Power Sources***

Joel is powered by two things: Coal and Redstone. These two things serve different purposes though. Coal replenishes him, and works similarly to how food does for humans. Redstone is the circuitry within him, and it powers all of his mechanical parts. He has a miniature Redstone block in his chest that functions as his heart, with Redstone working as his veins. This Redstone connects to every part of his body and keeps him functioning.

#### ***Mask***

The mask he wears, as mentioned earlier, functions as his eyes and ears. This is because the two rectangles on the bottom use the same technology as observers, and can detect changes in what Joel is looking at and feed that to his "brain". His ears use a tweaked version of the observer technology, which takes in sound waves and converts them to something Joel's "brain" can process. His mouth is a tweaked note block, which can be used to produce human-sounding sounds and it enables him to speak. While he can see and hear without the mask on, those functions are incredibly impaired. Despite this, he never wears the mask when he's on his own, only wearing it around other people.

#### ***Brain***

Joel's brain could be compared to a command block. He still has a human brain, but it has some of the same parts as a command block, enabling it to be able to operate on a higher level. When he thinks of doing something, his brain operates the command, which is then transferred through the Redstone in his body to whatever part of his body he's trying to use. The only way to disable his brain is through significant damage or flipping a switch that he keeps hidden.

#### ***Right Leg***

The main part of Joel's body, his leg is vital to his survival. His leg houses a lot of his computational parts, the things that actually keep him alive. This is because his family decided to make his new leg out of very strong metals that would be able to house the required components. The light on the inner part of his foot is an indicator of how much power he has left, turning red when he's about to "die". Speaking of him dying, Joel cannot truly die unless you take out his Redstone core or you cause significant damage to his brain. The leg is able to get another layer of armor that protects against almost all attacks. However, this drains his power even more than when he doesn't use it, so he only uses it sparingly. Due to his mechanical nature, his family gave him the nickname DRZ1 as a sort of code name.
