SKILLS:
He's considered a top shot in the alliance, and among his squad and the crew of the SSV Palaven, thus people gave him the nickname of "Vex". It comes from his great luck and shooting, and the bad luck of the fool at the end of his scope or barrel whose shooting at him. Joe is also one of the few that still practices with swords, and any other traditional or old weapons. Whether it be a sword or bow. Joe knows that it's not practical on the battlefield, but he loves to train with them. Among those skills, he also knows CQC, for when it gets down to the nitty gritty. When he has to, he can take and give orders well. A skill which is highly valuable in his time. Outside of a sniper rifle, he loves the assault rifle, and pistol. Shotguns aren't really his thing.
RELATIONS:
System Alliance[LIKES]:He thinks of most people serving in the alliance like an extended family; Brothers and sisters in arms. Joe is proud to be in such an honorable family. Here was taught comradery, faith in the people you're around, how to shoot extremely well, and killing is not easy or a light thing to do.
Aliens[LIKES]
: Racism is quite narrow minded, so he doesn't judge any alien or human. He has served with a lot of aliens, and he would back them up if they needed help. War and bullets don't discriminate, why should he? He likes them all, and some of the women.
Geth[UNDERSTANDS]: They were treated poorly by their makers, rose up to stop the abuse. A common thing in human history.
Cerberus[HATES] Never liked them. A few of his friends joined them, but after shepard give them a whatfor, they defected. Hell, even some operatives from cerberus themselves defected. Humanity's dagger in the back
GEAR:
Weapons: M-92 Mantis when he needs to reach out and touch someone. It's also modded with a concentration mod, high velocity barrel.
He also has a M-15 Vindicator for when medium range. It has a stability damper, and a piercing mod. He also carries a standard M-3 Predator, but only uses it if he has too. Finally he has a combat knife to use more as a tool, then a weapon. Although he isn't afraid to use it as a weapon
Armor: He wears standard armor that the rest of the soldiers wear, but his is less bulky and more maneuverable ( multiplayer soldier armor but normal looking chest and shoulders. Almost like Shep's armor) For missions with no breathable atmosphere, he wears a rebreather helmet that is normal for a soldier to use
Causal wear: Tank top with his combat pants
HISTORY:
Younger days: He was born in a little sleepy town in the states to pretty much one parent. His dad left shortly after his birth, so it's been him and his mom since day one. He didn't say much in school, didn't have a lot of friends and kept to his studies. Only when he was around family and close friends that he would loosen up more. School was hard for him, so he just kept to himself and learned what he could, and tried his best to gain more knowledge. Whenever he would come home, he would mainly stay inside, watch anything that piqued his interest, and he read a lot. Books about anything that fascinated him. Whether it be about history, music, warfare, weapons, fighting, and music. Sometimes, he even incorporated what he read about in everyday dealings. That is where he got his love for traditional weapons and warfare. To him, that was more enjoyable than talking to other kids. he did have a few close friends. Friends that he is still friends with. After middle school, he went to a smaller high school, and came into his own over the school years. There he met better people, and showed him that not all people are in this life for themselves. Everybody loved him, and he loved his friends back. He was quite happy in high school. There he found who he was, how to really understand people, and that there are still some good people out there.
From there on, out: two years after graduating, he then enlisted in the Alliance Navy. It looked like he could actually use some of the things he learned from reading. Basic training was tough, but it did him well. After that, and getting to the point where he could do missions, he excelled, surprising the people he served with. He took the life, missions, and life seriously. Instead of fooling around, he went to practicing CQC and shooting immediately, and quite well. Wasn't long when he was pulling off crack shots, and taking down some good fighters. As much as he missed his home and mother, he loved serving, going to distant places, and meeting people.
After getting more and more missions under his belts, more kills, and general progress, his higher ups recommended up for the N7 program. After hearing this, he was honored and ready. The training was anything but easy, the "rules" he has to follow are strict, but he will try his best to uphold. He's been taking special assignments and doing the Alliance proud ever since.
