A low-energy dude who somehow marches through the depressing city with an inpenetrable attitude. He has a cheerfully apathetic spirit towards the world and its future, holding no specific dreams or aspirations. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and has an issue shutting it off, but he tries to not be overbearing with it.
His noble boss has a massive crush on him and pays him practically double what he should be making. He's aware of this and purposely leads her on because he enjoys the extra money.
Joe has the almost supernatural talent to get the instant feel of somebody's "vibe."
He lives in an apartment across from the hardware store he works at. The hardware store's boss, a wealthy noble, has a horrible crush on him. He keeps reminding her to order new supplies from the Nexus but there's been no luck.
Born to a single mom, his father wasn't present, and she told him that he had abandoned them. To care for his mom, Joe started working at the young age of 12 at local stores. Working at such a young age gave him good street smarts. As her health declined, she moved out with her family to Core. Joe, a 20-year-old at the time, landed a safe job soon after, and that's kept him stable.
Clara Kalstein - She comes in for supplies rarely. He thinks their senses of humor match up pretty well, so he always has a fun time bantering with her.
Stichety Hackgone - He doesn't know his father. It's for the best.
