Backstory: Joshua was born and raised in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he struggled with life from a young age. At 15, he fell victim to scarlet fever, and despite his parents’ financial strain to provide him with medication, he survived. However, the illness left him anemic, a battle he fought until he succumbed to scarlet fever again at 17. His parents, convinced it was the work of the devil, took him to church every Sunday in hopes of purging him of his affliction. One night, managing to escape the prayers, Joshua felt death closing in. In his desperation, he wandered to the cemetery, begging for death to take him. It was there that a pale man appeared, offering to cure him of his ailments in exchange for a single drop of blood. Young and naive, Joshua accepted. He awoke a week later, feeling unlike himself—something darker, something not entirely human. When he realized he was buried, panic took over him, but then he noticed the dirt on his coffin felt lighter, and the moonlight glowed eerily bright. The vampire who had saved him welcomed him into his new life. For the next fifty years, Joshua worked under the vampire, caught in a toxic romance that nearly killed him on several occasions. Eventually, Joshua was able to end the vampire’s life, but the scars—both physical and emotional—remained. He never returned to his own grave, but over time, he learned that his parents had mourned him long before his death, grieving a son they had already lost.
