Background
Joshua began life as a clone. Just one of the countless others under the control of Overshadow. Joshua is not even his original name, or number as the case would be. He was one of the batch selected for a special project to use technology and magic to create super soldiers for SHADOW. However, during the experimentation, Joshua’s mental conditioning was altered, entirely by mistake.
At first beset by panic, unable to remember, well, anything really, and strapped to a table with carved runes, strange machines and masked individuals in lab coats that he did not know, yet somehow, he knew other things, his mind racing with strategy and as soon as one restraint was loosened, Joshua seized the moment and struck.
In a flurry of frantic combat and flight, Joshua escaped the SHADOW installation, though not before accessing a SHADOW computer, accessing various accounts and files to take and learn what he could before he made good his escape, taking whatever resources he could with him and burning what he could of the rest.
After that, it was just a “simple” matter of forging an identity for himself. With what limited amount he was able to glean from the limited time and resources he had been able to access before blowing the local servers, he knew he was a clone, and the one responsible for making him was called Overshadow. From the time he spent on the outside on the run, he also learned about the presence of superheroes and what they stood for. It seemed fairly clear to him which side Overshadow was on, and what better way to completely distance himself from the “source material” would be to become a hero himself, and with the skill set he instinctively knew he had, it should be a relatively simple task.
He made his way towards Freedom City, piece by piece putting together an identity for himself, a name he picked up through interaction with people and made his way to Claremont, following with details on a plot he had learned while going through the SHADOW databases before escaping, informing Dean Summers of the presence of a sleeper that had been planted in the school, though not yet activated. After explaining his situation and why he knew this, Summers offered Joshua the opportunity to enroll himself. With nowhere else to go, Joshua had no reason at all to say no.

Complications
- Motivation (Acceptance): Joshua began his existence as a clone among the countless other of Overshadow’s army. It has become important to Joshua to forge his own identity to prove, even if only to himself, that he is his own man. Being a hero, the very opposite of Overshadow has been a central foundation of Joshua’s new identity.
- Enemy (SHADOW): Joshua is an ex-SHADOW clone soldier that was used for experimentation on a super soldier program. He escaped, and that doesn’t sit well with Overshadow who would quite like what he views as his property returned.
- Secret (SHADOW Clone): That Joshua is a clone isn’t exactly common knowledge and Joshua would like to keep it that way, since it could cast suspicion on his loyalties, not to mention news getting to Overshadow as to Joshua’s location which could put any personal life he has established in danger.
- Remnant Programming: Joshua has no way to know what mental programming does or does not remain in his psyche. Overshadow could have any number of control phrases to cause anything from a catatonic state to compliance or obedience. Fortunately, part of what freed Joshua also broke his programming, so anything Overshadow does will only last a limited time.
