Personality:
A gift for cooking, a body toned from High School and a bit of Collage sports, and a dream to own his own small restaurant, Joseph is seen to be a driven individual and one who'll work hard for a goal. Even being goal orientated, Joseph is a friendly person who is more then welcoming to those who offer their hands in friendship and will gladly take a chance on a stranger if they could be a friend. However, if someone were to betray his trust, Joseph would much rather simply cut ties with the person then try to confront or fix the issues. Those who do happen to earn his trust are more likely to be the one's he cooks for, trying out new recipes or simply making foods they enjoy occasionally. To top it all off, he is strongly protective of his friends, more often then not standing up for them or being that helping hand for them in their time of need.
Joseph spends his time doing what he enjoys, for the most part, be that working in a kitchen, testing out a new recipe on friends and family, or simply relaxing with friends. Interestingly enough, when he is not working in a kitchen, for work or working on a new idea, Joseph can be seen as a really lazy individual, sometimes simply sleeping away the day. He generally enjoys sweets, exploring new areas, and spending time with friends, even if it means he has to be active to do these things, but that doesn't mean he'll always be up for it. He dislikes dealing with people's drama, sour or spicy foods of almost every type, and being forced into situations he doesn't really know how to deal with, and this is probably one of the few times Joseph will actually get angry.
Normally calm and relaxed, there isn't much to make Joseph get angry, but once he gets angry he seems almost like an entirely different person. Someone causing troubles for a friend, strange stressful situations, and even people deliberately going out of their way to continue to go at him can usually cause Joseph to lose his cool. Unfortunately, he is not really happy with going angry, and after he calms down he tends to be a bit withdrawn and overly apologetic to those around him.
Appearance:Joseph has a thin, athletic build to him with lightly tanned skin, while he stands at about 5 feet and 11 inches, making him a little taller then average and his appearance at the very least pleasing to look at. His hair is shoulder length, slightly wavy, and is brown in color, while his eyes are a blueish color that might appear violet in certain lighting. His normal attire consists of a white, long sleeved shirt that is worn beneath a violet stripped vest that he tends to try to keep in good condition. From his waist down Joseph wears a pair of black dress pants held up by a normal belt with a golden buckle, a pair of white dress shoes, and sometimes he'll even wear his custom black French waist apron, worn usually only covering his right leg.
Joseph has a pair of thin-rimmed glasses that helps him see things, as a pair of glasses usually do, while he wears several rings when he isn't doing any cooking. His face is smooth and friendly, his eyes sharp and his smile welcoming enough for people to consider him easily approachable. His backpack of choice is a messenger bag that is a brown leather in color with a turtle-like emblem in the middle. His hair is normally down and allowed to do as it pleases, but when he cooks he ties it up in a simply ponytail. During colder times, Joseph will wear a long black coat that goes down to his ankles and has a simple orange flower pattern at the bottom. He also has an orange scarf that he tends to carry with him as well on the off chance it'll become windy, dusty, or a little cold.
Personal History:
Joseph was born in a small town in Deleware to his loving parents, and his youth was filled with simple days in a household where his parents sometimes struggled to make ends meet. As a youth Joseph wasn't able to see the different sacrifies his parents did to make his childhood a good one, but he was basically always a happy child. Some of his fondest memories as a child was cooking or baking with his mother at night before his father came home late, and because of these memories, Joseph began to lean toward a future in culinary work.
He wasn't much for school and tended to spend his time goofing off and just being lazy with school work and activities. In his first year of Junior High, his father lost his job and soon things became even tighter for the family and soon Joseph realized how lucky they had been before. His parents sometimes went a few days not eating dinner to make sure that Joseph could eat, and the youth began to really concentrate in school, wanting to at least make things easier for his parents that way. Joseph was starting to get better grades and even began to take culinary classes as his electives, and starting to take part in sports at the school.
A few years went by of penny pinching and foodless nights, his families life suddenly took a turn for the better as his father got a well paying job at a booming new business. Suddenly, their quality of life took a 180 and his family now began to really enjoy having a good income and soon Joseph would cook for his parents some of the recipes he had learned as well as ones he had wanted to try. The joy of seeing his parents eating the food he made and having the funds to be able to afford the food, Joseph's draw to a career in culinary had only increased.
His plans to go to a culinary collage had already been set in motion, and with some help from loans and a student grant, Joseph was all set to head down the path his life had led too. It was only when, after graduation and his Aunt and Uncle visited, did Joseph get introduced to Japanese cuisine. His Uncle had been stationed in Japan and married a Japanese woman, and since they came to visit for his graduation from High School, they decided to cook for him, and laid out before him was a buffet of several different kinds of Japanese foods and snacks, all hand-made. It was almost a match made in heaven, and all the different tastes and flavors became imprinted on his tongue.
He had a new goal and began to make plans to head to the land of the Rising Sun after collage! However, collage was hard and he graduated middle of his class, and while he was in a rush to head to Japan, he had loans to pay back and he knew none of the language. For a few years, he studied Japanese through a teaching program while he took various cooking jobs all across the board, from being a line cook at a fast food joint, to working as a line cook at a 'fancy' restaurant, and even working in pastry at a resort for a year. Joseph figured he had a decent grasp on Japanese, his loans were no longer a big looming threat, and he even had everything he needed to live in Japan for a while.
He left his parents and made his way overseas, and thanks to the kindness of his Uncle and Aunt, actually had a place to stay, even if it was just a simple room in their house. Joseph's journey was just beginning, and his goal to learn about all types of culinary delights was on the fast track to awesome.
Life though, likes to throw curve balls.

Skills/Talents:
- Floating: Mosamon and her digivolutions can all float.

- Assistant Chef: Mosamon is surprisingly handy in the kitchen.
Personality: Mosamon and her lines are pretty quiet and reserved, more often then not talking and just observing the situations around her. She does enjoy snacking on the different things that Joseph makes and is more then happy assisting him in cooking, even if it's something simple. As a quite observer, she finds enjoyment in watching her allies having fun and playing around, even though she doesn't really wish to partake in the actions as well. She dislikes having people approach her in an overly friendly manner, and might even let out a hiss of annoyance if someone goes to touch her without her permission. Mosamon does enjoy being wrapped around Joseph in some manner at times, being a reptile and liking to share his body heat to some degree.
The Human world is a bit of a wonder too her, and sometimes she'll just sit and watch things for minutes at a time. She is quite a fan of small mammals and birds, and sometimes will simply try and follow one just to see where it goes, as if she was actually hunting it. Another thing she enjoys to do, is to go swimming, though the digital world isn't always the safest place to do so. She is quite protective of Joseph though, and seems to take any threat aimed at him personally. Mosamon is not really fond of cold areas, and is more then happy to squeeze her way into Joseph's coat if he is wearing one.DIGIMON'S INITIAL EVOLUTION LINE
