Biography: Joshua Fawks was born 20 years before the start of the Maverick Wars, in a rural countryside outside Abel City - Born and raised by two loving parents who protected him from Abel City, as they didn't trust robots all that well. even Reploids. For the most part, he lived a happy life in the countryside, often helping his parents, and enjoying his time with them when he found time to do so.

Joshua expressed a fond interest in robotics - He invested al ot of his school years into learning about the mechanical beings that occupied Abel City - Drones, automated construction equipment, and even Reploids. His parents didn't approve, but he studied them regardless of their opinions.

Eventually, when the Maverick Virus hit, and spread like wildfire, the few replods that worked in the rural areas went haywire, and slaughtered the people who resided there. Horrified at what he had seen, Joshua fled into Abel City to escape the rogue machines, and has, since then, lived in shadows, watching as the city devolved into a state of warfare, with replods fighting against their corrupted bretheren.

Now utilizing armor built from the parts and functions of reploids whose functions had ceased, and building weapons based off of the military's tech, Joshua spends his days trying to live what remains of his life before the Maverick Virus ruined what he had. He is not too trustful of the Reploids, as he cannot tell who is infected and who isn't, but he strives to help humanity when he can, fighting reploids he sees as rogue, and expanding on the armor and weapons he has currently to survive.
