Josh Singleton

## Joshua "Josh" Singleton

**Joshua Alden "Josh" Singleton** is the main protagonist of *Close Enough*. He is voiced by J.G. Quintel, the creator of the series.

## Biography

"Josh is a husband, father, and future world-famous video-game designer. Although with games like “Ladder World” and “Clap Like This,” that won’t be happening anytime soon. His soul-deadening day job is at the TV-installation company Plugger-Inners, but with his golden retriever-like attitude, he still remains eager and optimistic.

## Physical appearance

Josh is a 5'11 human man around 32 years old . He has straight brown hair that reaches his shoulders and a pale ivory skin tone. He wears a maroon hoodie with its sleeves rolled up, a light red t-shirt, blue jeans, and white slip-on shoes. When Josh is working at Plugger-Inners, he wears a white uniform polo shirt, an orange name tag, black pants, and a brown belt with a bronze-colored frame buckle. Occasionally, he wears his hoodie over his uniform shirt.

In his early 20s, Josh styled his hair in short dreadlocks, and wore a pink coat, a gray tank top, gray pants, white sneakers, and an earring. As a teenager his hair was worn similar to how it is currently. Three years prior to the start of the series for a shirt period he wore his bangs back in a bun.

## Personality

Josh is optimistic, kind, childish, carefree, easygoing, and creative. His foolishness tends to get him in trouble sometimes. However, when push comes to shove, he'll become smart and responsible when doing the right thing. While he does show signs of irresponsibility, he does keep his daughters best interest at heart and does deeply care about her.
