Wearing alongside his gray jacket, Josiah wears a white version of the traditional Pixtopia Elite Forces gi, symbolizing his position in the corporation, which is woven by a master weaver. Josiah wears blue-gray pants, standard black combat boots, and wears fingerless white and red gloves. It was only months after Evil Red's defeat that Josiah grew a hairpiece at the back of his head.

## Personality

As the oldest sibling of his family and soon to be head of Pixtopian Elite Forces, Josiah acts in a formal yet selfish manner. He always seems serene and apathetic towards other people, even while actually deeply conflicted. He is notably calm, even in battle. He generally acts indifferent, bordering on arrogance, to most situations he is faced with, and rarely views his opponent as being worth his time. Josiah is easily offended if people mispronounce his name. When Josiah talks with people, he calls them by their full name. Josiah is very perceptive, fully aware of the limits of his abilities, and anything he states in comparison to an opponent is usually justified. Despite consistently stating himself to be far stronger than opponents, Josiah retains a formal tone, always referring someone in a formal way. When he was younger, he was quick to anger and very hot-headed, as noted by his mother.

Josiah strongly believes in law and order. he works hard for a peaceful society. He feels that if someone in his position does not follow the rules and set as a good example, no one else will. He believes that to maintain the order, all law-breakers must be punished, even if it goes against his own wishes.

During the years of his little brother's youth, Josiah’s pride and calm demeanor made them believe he never cared about them because he had never once looked at them. In spite of his icy and regal manner, Josiah cares for and protects those important to him. This holds especially true to his youngest brother Jonathan as he loved his mother dearly and unconditionally, having promised his mother that he would protect Jonathan no matter what. After the defeat of Monk Erk and his Neo-Pixel Fighter Army, he admits the law isn't perfect and becomes more lenient. Although, he tries to maintain a balance between following orders and breaking the law by exploiting loopholes in his orders. Josiah is a person who never opens up to people, believing that they end up betraying and or killing him.

## Biography

### **Background**

Josiah was born into a lawful family and grew up in a Mansion in the Western Section of Pixtopia. He would spend countless hours training, preparing to take over the leadership of the Pixtopia Elite Forces. When Josiah was young, his niece, who he hated as a kid, would often visit the mansion, to play a game of tag with Josiah. Approximately 12 years ago before Red's 1st LSW Tournament, Josiah's niece is presented to train Josiah by his father. Upon seeing his niece, he attacked and insulted her. His niece playfully teased him, complaining about his greeting after coming all the way there to see him. Josiah, expressing his displeasure at seeing her, stated he would be the head Pixtopia Elite Forces soon enough, so he had no time to waste on her. his niece, stealing his wristband, exclaimed that if the head of the Pixtopia Elite Forces could get his wristband stolen by a girl at play, she is worried about its future. She used incredible speed to escape from him, leaving an angry Josiah, claiming his superiority, promising to make her see the error of her ways. 2 Years ago prior to Red's 1st LSW Tournament, Josiah searched far and wide to search his younger brother Alonzo but he failed to find him.

### **Heroes of Pixtopia Saga**

During the invasion of the Rah and his demon army, Josiah was able to keep up with high ranking demons and save the western section of Pixtopia. After Rah's invasion ended, some of his demon soldiers remained in Pixtopia and Josiah lent his aid getting rid of them. During one of his encounters with the demons, Josiah ran into Zymon. Both battled alongside each other and defeated those demons. Meeting Zymon was when Josiah opened up to another Pixtopian for the first time in his life.

## Power

Josiah is considered a powerful warrior among the fighters of Pixtopia. Being the eldest brother of Alonzo, Josiah has more experience, abilities, and power than his younger brother. Josiah would likely be stronger than Alonzo, who was capable of fighting Neo-Pixel FIghters, defeating Skrays, defeating an Executioner all on his own, and fighting Evil Red. Being Zymon's teammate also implies that Josiah is strong enough to fight alongside him during combat. Josiah was once able to defeat some upper-level Demons of Rah's army, which can imply he's strong enough to battle Executioners on his own.

With Zymon as his partner given an official power level of 620 during Red's 1st LSW Tournament Saga and Alonzo, his younger brother, given an official power level of 950 during Red's 2nd LSW Tournament Saga, both who have gotten stronger throughout the series and through training, Josiah would likely have rival their level of power, possibly surpass them during the Red's 5th LSW Tournament Saga.
