Big Joe

    Seasoned Male Sea Titans, MARS Psi-Warrior
    Iconic Framework: MARS Psi-Warrior

    Background

    His mom told him before she was captured his father was some sort of water demigod from the old Americas. Well Joe believes it, he has the strength and power of titan all packed into the compact form that makes way to many people under estimate him.

    But what he lacks in height he makes up for in in determination and go. The dark olive skill and dark hair would instantly give him away as being of north African decent to most people. But his height is usually where people stop inspecting him.

    Big Joe is normally in control of himself, but he has been known to stand up to many a fights that most men would have backed away from. With a tendency to think he can take anyone on and habit of targeting the biggest meanest guy on the battle field Big Joe has taken more than one solid smack to the face.

    It is not uncommon for Joe to wake up after a battle not quite remembering what hit him. But luckily his regenerative abilities are enough that he is always back in the line after a day or two.
