history; joseph was abandoned as a newborn, no more than a week old, in front of a hospital in louisiana. as a child, he grew up wondering what was wrong with him and being angry at the world, at his mother. he didn't eat like other children; he didn't need to sleep as often; he had pains in his gums and eyes whenever he became upset. everything was much too confusing for such a small child. in the orphanage, joe wouldn't speak and barely hung out with anyone else. but at age six, a lovely couple with two other children began to foster him. his father was a chemist and his mother a pediatrician in a new orleans hospital. though he wasn't quite normal, they loved him with everything so by his seventh birthday, they adopted him into there home. joseph began opening up more and more as he grew to love his adoptive parents. when he entered middle school, he started having very low grades and getting into trouble for stupid things that he claimed "couldn't be helped". after visits to the doctor, he was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and dyslexia. it made his education much harder to attain but he worked harder than most to achieve it. at fifteen, his body was late in blooming through puberty which almost required another doctor visit but thankfully was avoided. one day, some bullies confronted him and called him names on being slow and stupid. when things got physical, joseph lashed out in a fit of rage. his eyes became red and fangs ripped through his gums. he just barely stopped himself from beating the kids to death. he was terrified that his parents would disown him or fear him but no, they continued to love him and protect him from the system by moving to north dakota. at eighteen, joe graduated in the top ten of his class and a full ride to his first choice college in maine. college was a breeze as he graduated easily with a bachelors in marine biology. but as he began to age without physical change, he realized that no matter how much he loved his family, they would pass away before him. that nightmare came true when he reached his seventy-eighth birthday. his siblings passed away while there children aged and there children and so on. joseph now lives a nomadic live, travelling around when people become too suspicious of him.
