Inner legs are decorated with scars too. Only his face, neck, feet and lower legs aren't marked by scars.
Morality: Good- Josai is a rare sort of vampire, he won't harm others except in very rare or stressful situations. Those that he considers to be his family/charges he will do anything in order to protect them and make sure no harm comes to them. He also is constantly making sure not to ever be underfed so he won't be taken by bloodlust.
Disability: Nightmares- even to this day he still suffers from nightmares of the days leading up to when he became a vampire. Also, his family. He will do anything for them.
Allergies: Holy objects- Although for some reason he is not badly harmed by them, or driven away by their presence, they do cause him discomfort and can cause harm if pressed against his skin for too long. If placed against his throat, or any other critically important spot, it could kill him in a slow death if there for too long.
Blood Type: AB+
Sexuality: Straight
Love Interest: None yet- In fact because of the fact he was turned at only about 15-16 years old he believes he's never going to find anyone, and refuses to look for someone because he feels that any girl that is his own age and would take interest in him is creepy or a pedophile, and he would feel like one if he were to take interest in any girl who appears to be his age.

Weapons: Hands, Feet, Vampiric Claws, Fangs
Other Important Items/Equipment: Glasses- although he technically no longer has need for his glasses he still wears plain glass frames with self-tinting glass partly due to the fact he grew up used to having them, they help with his light sensitivity and help disguise himself as human.
Biography:
On January 11th of 1988 the delivery room would be filled with the cries of a newborn baby that was born completely healthy. Unfortunately, the baby was the only one that was healthy at his birth. In fact his mother had been incredibly ill for a long time time and giving birth to Josai would turn out to be too much for her and she passed away. So the newborn babe would never have the chance to even meet his mother. Even when he was placed in the arms of his father, the child wouldn't stop crying, bawling his little lungs out. The grieving father would name him Josai Gin'iro, giving him his mother's name in his middle name.
Once Josai was brought home from the hospital things would not go well for the child. Despite it not being his fault his father would blame him and only took care of him because Josai was all that was left of his beloved wife.
Over the years, Josai was not treated well and had a lonely childhood, with his father barely paying him attention or care, making it so he would have to pretty much learn everything on his own. He learned to walk so he could get to the things he needed or wanted, he learned to read so he knew what was what and wouldn't poison himself.
He was only ever shown the way to school once and if he was ever sick he had to care for himself or stay in the school's sickroom for the rest of the day, and slip away when no one was looking because his father didn't ever answer the phone for him. He wouldn't ever come pick him up or go to the school for parent teacher things. And despite several reports to social services he was never removed from his father's because there was no proveable abuse, or even neglect and Josai feared being removed and sent to a home that he would be abused in. He may not have liked having to care for himself, but he knew how to and could handle it.
Things weren't good and were harsh but never to the point of unbearable, at least not until he was 11 years old. When he was about 11 his father would have his girlfriend move in with them, and that would be when things would go downhill. Beforehand his father hadn't really cared what he did, and only cared about Josaid cleaning up after himself. The girlfriend however decided that he should do everything. So she'd start demanding that he be made to do more chores and his father of course listened to her. Before too long he would be doing every chore in the home. His father and the girlfriend meanwhile used their freetime to do drugs and drink. And of course they became addicted to their pasttimes and their use of it all cost so much money that eventually they would become broke since Josai's father would lose his job and the girlfriend never worked in the first place.
By the time he was 12, Josai was living on the street with his father. Although he still went to school Josai was not allowed to tell anyone he was on the street or as his father had threatened, he would be beaten to within an inch of his life. Since Josai enjoyed school he would keep his mouth shut. After school Josai would be forced to work, delivering newspaper, and the like. Of course because of all the problems the father and girlfriend would be angry a lot and took it out on him...
This continued for 2 years at the least, being beaten if he ever did something to even irritate the two of them, while they spent every cent that was made on drugs and alcohol, while he struggled to keep up in school. If he had been any less intelligent, Josai would have not been able to keep his high grades, with the worst to bring them down was if he couldn't do homework or a project due to not having the money for it.
Around the time that Josai had turned 14, his father and his father's girlfriend were deep in debt with the wrong type of people and were being threatened with death. So desperate to pay them back to save their own behinds, Josai was sold by his own father. The last time he would see his father, the man wouldn't even be able to look him in the face and was turned away while the men who'd come to take him, dragged him off. Even as Josai cried and begged for his father to help him, to save him naught a word was spoken, the poor boy's first ever request for anything from the man who'd made him turned away.
Sold to slaver's he wouldn't know how long it was that he was kept down in the dark dank cages that housed the others along with him. Although it couldn't be said that Josai hadn't ever cried in his life, he was unable to stop the sorrow that assaulted him during his stay there. Every day he cried to be abandoned by his father and sold into slavery. He didn't know how the slaver's were able to get away with what they did, but he knew it was wrong as he watch day in and out as faces around him changed. All different ages, and races, and those in different health came through as he huddled in that darkness. Once in awhile he would be pulled out so someone could have a look at him, receiving beatings and proddings whenever he did not cooperate as wanted.
Eventually he would be sold to someone who had come and liked the looks of the slight child, who took him to his home. He wouldn't get to even see any of the man's regular rooms, finding himself placed in a very special room. It was a cold basement like room with only a small barred window for air and light, any other lighting controlled from outside. The floor was made of cold tile with a drain in the middle of the room. Walls bare except for carvings of various images and only a very basic toilet and sink in one corner. The nicest thing in the room was the large bed that occupied it with a soft mattress and pillows. The bed was covered in a nice blanket, and with sturdy posts holding it up.
His clothing was taken away and he was forced to wear whatever his new master wanted. Josai's new life was that of a slave, pure and simple. A slave to whatever the man who owned him wanted. And the main thing that he had intended for him was to be a sex slave. For the next year and a half Josai was beaten terribly, not just by the man who had bought him, but also by others that the man would bring in from time to time. He was punched, stabbed, cut, choked, bound and the victim of many other terrible types of treatment. But the thing that he was used most for was as a sex slave, as he was raped time and time again no matter how much he had begged and pleaded not to. During the year and a half that he was kept there he eventually had stopped resisting, and just lay limp, trying to block everything out of his mind. And there was one more thing, the one who owned him was a vampire. Which would be one more thing that he had no choice in, becoming a source to be drunk from.
It lasted that way for so long that Josai had just shut himself down, unable to live with the things that were being done to him. At least that was until the day that his master decided that he was tired with Josai, partly because he'd given up, and partly because just like a child with a toy he was bored with him. That meant Josai was going to die... maybe 15 or 16 years old and Josai found out he was going to die. He snapped and freaked out when he was taken by the vampire when he was going to commit the deed. Josai attacked the man with everything he had, his feet, hands, nails, and teeth. In fact he would clamp down onto his skin and bit him over and over, even as he was laughed at and told that it was pointless he would die anyways. But Josai would not listen, continuing to bite the vampire deep enough to draw blood many times, even while he was losing strength because he was being drained dry. It wouldn't take long and the boy was dead and cast to the side, taken to be dumped off in some random place like trash.
At least he was thought to be dead because his heart had stopped beating and he no longer moved... But a small time after he was discarded Josai would come back to life, having ingested enough blood from the vampire who'd drained him with his furious biting. From there Josai had suffered from bloodlust for the first time, in needing to feed and killed a hobo to satisfy himself. It was a terrible time for him and for the first few years of living in his vampiric life Josai hid, only coming out ever to feed from animals or a weak homeless person.
One day Josai would then meet Xinthia, another person that had been hurt and was living and surviving by only one day at a time. He wasn't bothered by her affliction and soon they were living together, and surviving together in order to make it. As time went by they would meet a wolf shifter named Donovan, a pair of neko twins named Erimaki and Usubeni, a cat shifter named Akemi and a pair of girl twins named Vega and Velma. Everytime they would join and the small group grew to be a small family of children that had been mistreated with no family of their own and that lived together for safety and in order to survive better. It wasn't the greatest life but they managed together and tried their best. Josai would have done more for them, but as he aged he never grew now that he was a vampire and he had no chance of being believed for older then what he appeared. So even when they found a winning lottery ticket, they couldn't cash it, until Donovan came of age to do so. It was a great boon for them as they'd be able to purchase a home for everyone to live in with extra room, and get transportation as well as get everyone into school.
Josai is doing all sorts of work, anything he can manage to get in order to bring in an income for everyone to survive on, as well as Donovan is working. Everyone looks up to him since he's always led them, even tho he never really meant to, jsut doing the best he could for them.
