## Interests and Hobbies

Joris is a videogame freak. He plays all kinds of games, his top 3 consisting of Kingdom Hearts, Minecraft and Splatoon. His first videogame ever was Sonic 2 on the Sega Mega Drive back when he was only 2 years old, with help from his siblings. The first videogame he completed was Pokémon Silver at around the age of 5, again with the help of his siblings. Nowadays, he usually plays Dead By Daylight with friends such as Mingus, osu! or his current favorite game, Splatoon 3.

As for hobbies, Joris likes doing translation work as he can speak French and English fluently, is learning Japanese in university and learning Spanish on the side with help from Skaidus. Aside from that, Joris wastes his time arguing with strangers on the Internet.

## The Bike Incident

On November 9th, 2020, Joris was paid an unexpected visit from his brother while living with his mother. While their mother went to the town over to buy cigarettes, Joris and his brother made the decision to go to a nearby store, with Joris' brother riding his electric bike and Joris riding his electric scooter. Joris made the ill-fated suggestion to take a detour on the way home from the store, and the two decided to swap their modes of transportation. However, the conditions were far from ideal- Joris felt unconfident in riding the electric bike, and the wind was uncomfortably cold. As such, reaching the speed of around 30 km/h, Joris attempted to pull his hoodie over his head. As he continued on, he came across a small pothole in the pavement, which caused him to swerve and crash. He hit the ground hard, falling face-first into the concrete, and lost consciousness. He doesn't remember much directly following the crash, but can recall asking his brother when the ambulance would arrive. The ambulance arrived soon after, and once he was situated, he recalls telling an EMT "I want to sleep but I know I shouldn't I know I can't but it's so tempting."

Upon arriving at the hospital, a number of scans were performed. Joris gradually regained consciousness and contacted his family. However, his mother was unable to see him due to Covid restrictions and because he was legally an adult. As such, Joris spent 7 hours in the hospital alone. He experienced acute pain in his face, for which he was given (largely ineffective) pain medication. The lacerations on his eyebrow required numerous stitches, and unfortunately the anesthetic the doctors used failed to ease his pain. Following his trip to the hospital, Joris experienced constant pain and was unable to speak or eat for an extended period of time. He ultimately ended up losing a tooth, getting 9 stitches in his eyebrow, scarring on his chin and left eyebrow, as well as having broken a bone in his inner jaw.

## IRL Server Member Meetups

Joris has so far met three members of the Shinx Appreciation Club in real life.

### Yello

They met up in Lyon as a fortunate coincidence, since Yello was headed there to return something. They hung out for a few hours before they had to part ways. The most notable thing in this meetup was that Yello was willing to spend 350€ on the spot to buy an OLED Switch at a Fnac.

### Skaidus

They met up in Lyon in August of 2022 and did the gayest things such as going to H&M at the request of Lina. We will spare the details of this gay "hookup"!

**Mingus**

Joris travelled to Mingus' home in Germany, and stayed for a week. The two spent time playing Pikmin 3 and 4 together, and Mingus notably only got slightly tipsy once during his visit (as opposed to their normal habit of getting drunk multiple times a week). They explored Mingus' town, balled and gamed, and had a lovely time overall.
