Joshua Tamashii

Yu-Gi-Oh: Spirit

Oh god an Alien Deck. That shit is so much fun! It can be such a good deck if you can manage your counters.

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

Joshua needed at Amaya in response to her saying that she would take it easy so he could let his guard down a bit, but that was unlikely either way. She was still in bad shape, whether she would admit it or not, and he was going to protect her no matter what. That was a vow he would never break again. He knew it was impossible to keep completely but that wouldn't stop him from trying.

When Reno/Oner appeared, Joshua made it a point to ignore him/them. The two-in-one entity both annoyed and confused the hell out of him and the less he knew, the better he felt. Instead he kept his eyes on his surroundings, trying to see if there were any heartless or hostile denizens of this world. But all he was candy, bright colors, and more candy. Frankly the amount here was sickening to him and all the brightness hurt his eyes. He almost wished a heartless would show up and a big one at that. Least it would give him something dark to look at.

Sadly the first thing to appear was a pair of friendly denizens. When asked what 'game' they were from, Joshua had to smirk at Thomas' utter failure at coming up with a response. One the other hand, Ascot's quick response, which was likely a good one as well, impressed him. He wondered if the boy was finally getting used to things and calming down and approaching things more naturally. If so there was probably hope for the boy yet.

-- Earlier that Day--

"Remind me why you're doing something this foolish again Amelia?" Joshua said from the living room of the apartment he and his long-term guest lived in. He was going through his deck, reviewing the cards he had in it and editing it as he saw fit. Her deck was close by but he didn't touch it on account that he only advised the young girl.

"Because I want to help. You've been kind enough to watch out for me so I was hoping I could help out in the tournament somehow." Amelia said as she came out of her room and walked over to the table.

"If your parents recognize you and try to get you back, there probably nothing he could do to stop them you know." Joshua replied calmly" Are you prepared for that possibility?"

Amelia didn't reply as she just sat at the table and looked a bit nervous as a result of his question. Joshua sighed as he ruffled her hair and gave her a small smile
"We'll cross that bridge when it comes. Did you enter under a fake name though? That might help." He said

Amelia gave him an annoyed look as she straightened her hair and tried to make it look nice
"Yeah but I don't think it's any good. I entered under Alexis Alison ." she said

"Could be worse I guess." Joshua said before looking at the clock" C'mon let's grab something to eat before the tournament starts. Anything in particular you want?"

-- At the Duel Stadium--

Joshua and Amelia listened to the speech given by Gero. Joshua sighed in annoyance at the end.
"Oi vae. Well seems like we have some free time. Might as well scout out the competition." he said before leading Amelia into the stadium.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Spirit

No, it's still abusable. Very easy to do. I just need it, a normal gem-knight monster, Gem-Knight Obsidian, and any other gem-knight and I can fuse twice in one turn. But getting that set up is hard so it's also fair.

Yu-Gi-Oh: Spirit

Considering gem-knight fusion is key to the deck, abusing it is key to winning but if I can't fuse anything the deck is sunk. Sides there are three other cards I can use for fusions in that deck but they're more situational.

Amelia's deck is incomete since its missing a few good cards. However your problem with her seems to be more back story then deck

Edit: nvm Empire has spoken.

Joshua said goodbye to Rose and Elyse after everyone who used a glider left. Getting a fix on their location with the help of the signs he had, he opened a CoD to their location and was there in seconds. The moment he saw their surroundings he was thankful Elyse wasn't there.
"Man if Elyse was with us we'd need to put a leash on that girl to keep her in our sights here." He said while sniffing the air and almost gagging on the overly sweet scent. He liked sweets as much as the next guy but this was too much. Still back to the task at hand and already everyone was turning to Amaya, apparently still seeing her as the 'sign radar'. That ki da ticked him off" Don't push yourself Amaya. If you can't sense it we'll just do thinks the old-fashioned way. If you can and it hurts just stop. You needn't hurt yourself to help us."

Joshua Tamashii

My favorite villian has to be Merik. Or was it...

Name: Joshua Tamashii

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Personality: Joshua is rough on the outside but a gentle and caring person on the inside. When you first meet him he will either ignore or insult you but given time you wil find a loyal friend who is willing to go the extra mile to help you. He can be very good on his feet and adapt to what's going on around him him, a trait that's helped him out of many a situation.

During duels Joshua tends to remain focused on his opponent and does his best to keep a level head. If he sees his opponent is new to dueling he will often try to help them out but he won't pull his punches , since he sees that as disrespectful. He goes all out and tries to do his best while having fun.

Joshua's biggest weakness is children. He can't turn a blind eye to one in trouble and he has gotten into more then one fight to help a child out. This weakness also puts him at risk with the law sometimes.

Bio: Born in the Obsidian Distract, Joshua life has been one constant fight for survival. His parents were poor and they often had to go for days without eating a meal. Dissatisfied with this Joshua would often spend his days pickpocketing for other people, usually only taking enough to get him a small snack, which was a meal in his eyes at the time. He he grew older Joshua became more skilled but more reckless as well. His habit of pickpocketing made him alot of enemies, something that was never good in the Obsidian district and that came back to bite him.

While out pickpocketing one day some of the people he had stolen money from set him up and got him arrested and sent to juvie for a few days. While there Joshua spotted many of the inmates playing Duel Monsters. He had seen the game before but had never really payed attnetion to it. However the game determined the order of power and Joshua realized he would need to learn the game fast if he didn't want to be on the bottom of the food chain.

Luckily for him one of the guard there was from the Obsidian District and understood his situation. He took Joshua aside one day and taught the then 14 year old the rules of the game before handing the young boy his first deck.
"Aim to be like the monsters you see here. Work with others and make something of yourself." the guard said before Joshua was taken back out to the other inmates.

Joshua managed to get out of juvie without alot of fuss but, taking the guards words to heart, Since he got out he's worked to make an honest living and to support his family in more legal ways, usually by small Duel Monsters tournaments. He also works to make the Obsidian District a better place, especially for the children that live there. This has lead him to have several encounters with Alex Deepwick and he has helped her when their interest were similar.

As of late Joshua's biggest challenge has been taking care of Amelia Averyonna, a girl originally from the Diamond District, stay out of her parents grasp, although this puts him at risk of being arrested again.

Deck Type: Gem-Knight: An Earth-Attribute Archetype that focuses around Fusions and swarming. Many of the base monsters have good stats but the decks fusuins are powerful and adaptable, giving Joshua many options if he has the right cards.

Key Card: Gem-Knight Fusion

Known cards: Gem-Knight Obsidian, Gem-Knight Alexandrite

Spirit Partner: Gem-Knight Obsidian is Joshua's spirit partner, something Joshua finds ironic since he's from the Obsidian district. A silent, stoic monster, Obsidian says little unless it is to advise Joshua or to tell Joshua he is not doing that Obsidian thinks is right. The two really have a mutual respect for each other but are known to fight very often.

Amelia Averyonna

... No it's Bakura. Definately Bakura.

Name: Amelia Averyonna

Age: 11

Gender: Female

Personality. Amelia is a kind, polite, but very shy girl who has difficulty talking to others. Dispite being brought up in the Diamond District she doesn't view anyone as being lower then her, but instead sees them as as being better then her. She doesn't value money or material goods but rather she values the people she's around and feels like she could trust, even if there's only one person like that at the moment.

During a duel it's obvious she's still learning the game and lacks confidence. dispite this she can still hold her own because she constantly practises, although it's unlikely she'll win.

Bio: Amelia was born in the Diamond District to the wealthy Averyonna family, who could be seen as the city's money handlers due to them owning every bank i the city. From the moment she was born Amelia was expected to one day replace her father as head of the family and help run the city. As such most of her time, starting at the age of five, was taken up by lessons and studying. The por child had little time for herself, with her days being planned minute-by-minute. This left her miserable and often wishing for some means of escape for the cage she was trapped in.

As fate would have it, Amelia would get that chance to escape at the age of ten. While on one of the very rare outings into the city, Amelia got seperated from her escort due to a large crowd near a duel in the Topaz District, right on the edge of the Obsidian District. Instead of trying to find her escort Amelia took this chance as an opportunity to escape and fled the seen. Sadly she ended up entering the Obsidian District.

Being in the Obsidian District normal is bad enough. Being from the Diamond district was making one a magnet for trouble and it wasn't long before it out the young girl. Many of the locals were quick to spot the obvious rich girl and one of the gangs acted quickly, grabbing her and taking her away to randsom her back to her parents for some quick cash.

However word of Amelia had also reached Joshua tamashii's ears. Being a resident of the Obsidian district, as well as a respected one, he quickly found out which gang took her and marched right to their base to confront the boss. He wasted no time making his demands and, almost inevitably, the two ended up dueling to determine the girl's fate.

This was the first time Amelia saw a full game of Duel Monsters. She watched as the two duelist struggled but in the end Joshua won. Luckily for both of them the gang was one of the more honorable ones and kept their word, letting Joshua take the girl back home.

As the two headed for the Diamond District Amelia begged and begged Joshua not to take her back. Resisting at first but giving in when the girl broke down into tears Joshua desided to take a risk and keep her at his place. To help keep her out of her parents grasp Joshua got the girl to cut her then long hair and buy some more comon, less expensive clothes, something Amelia knew would help since her parents were extremely vain and wouldn't dare think their daughter would wear anything other then the best.

Since then Amelia has lived with Joshua and tended to accompany him everywhere. Over the past years she's also learned about dueling and has also managed to scrounge up a few cards to make a deck with Joshua's help. Hearing him entering a big tournament she's decided to take a risk and enter as wel, hoping to help the man who has helped her so much.
