[Background] Yoshiya Kiryu, oftentimes called “Joshua”, looks to be your everyday, typical teenager. Apart from the ashen, near-silver hair colour, and the scrawny figure, Joshua emanates the image of today’s “teen”. However, that’s not the case. In fact, it’s as far from the truth as one can possibly get.
Joshua is in fact Composer of a complex, law-defying game known as the Reaper’s Game. In short, the Reaper’s Game exists in “another plane”. Individuals in this “plane”, also known as the UG, or Underground, can see what is going on in the real world, or otherwise known as the Real Ground (RG). However, living people cannot see the UG, nor hear anything that goes on within it. To everyday citizens, the UG does not exist and thus can not affect them. This is fortunate, due to the fact that the Reaper’s Game defies logic. Reapers, who are presumably ordinary people, save for the black, lattice-looking wings, run the “Game”.
The “Game” itself is composed of a seven-day challenge. If a player survives seven days, they are given the chance at a “second try”. As it is already implied, those who are playing this game in the UG have died. The Game is simple: stay alive. The hard part? The Reapers are out to kill you, there’s manifestations known as Noise, and other players may turn against you at any time. If you lose, you’re erased, and you’re gone forever. Oh, and you need a partner.
Among the ranks of the Reapers are Wall-Reapers, GameMasters, the Conductor, and finally the Composer. Joshua being the latter is the most important piece in the Game. Ironically, no one, save for the Producer and the Conductor, have seen Joshua. When the Composer gives instructions or wishes to consult with the lower beings, he takes on an ethereal, glowing form that resembles an adult male. When showing himself isn’t an option, he merely sends a text. Most of his bidding, though, is carried out through the Conductor.
The Conductor relays the Composer’s wishes and commands to the other Reapers, and controls the Game. So where does that leave Joshua? Bored, and to look over the well-being of his Game, that takes place in Shibuya. It’s unknown whether or not there are other games, but it’s likely. As Composer, it is hinted that Joshua is close with the “Higher Plane”, or in laymen’s terms: The Angels. They seem to be on fairly good terms, but do not intervene unless absolutely necessary. This leaves Joshua to watch over the city, both UG and RG, as Composer. Whether Joshua is the original creator of “The Reaper’s Game”, or if he had to usurp the position by force is unknown. What is known is that Joshua is extremely powerful. So powerful that the decision to destroy Shibuya rests in his hands: and that’s exactly what happens near the beginning of the game.
After having watched after Shibuya for so long, Joshua began noticing an extreme decline in morality. The beautiful city was becoming grimy and filled with greedy and sinful individuals who were not worthy of a second chance. He made up his mind to destroy Shibuya once and for all, but his decision was postponed when his Conductor, Megumi, who had a passion for mankind, power, and Shibuya, came to the Composer with a proposition. Because the Composer loved ‘games’ so much, Megumi offered a game between Conductor and Composer.
If Megumi could not show the Composer the good of Shibuya in a month’s time, and change his mind about the city, he would be erased. The Composer accepted these terms, more than likely due to his desire to see the city once again prosper, and placed a dark red ticker on Megumi’s hand. Due to the fact that the Composer could not directly take part in his game with Megumi, he opted to chose a “proxy” to use as a pawn. The terms were accepted. The Game was on.
Enter Neku Sakuraba, an average teenage boy who was a bit antisocial and angsty. Honest this time, he’s average. Joshua chose Neku as his proxy, mostly due to the fact that Neku was an example of the deterioration of Shibuya. Neku was negative and would propel Joshua to victory. Oh, and did I mention Joshua shot Neku to get him into the Game?
Long story short, Sho Minamimoto, a radical Reaper who always seems to be planning to overthrow the Composer, got it in his head that he could try and destroy Joshua, who was heading to the RG. Their powers would be level in the RG, and Sho saw his chance. He tracked the Composer down, who was about ready to kill Neku. Sho eventually realized that he could not win and fled back to the UG. … And Joshua took that victorious moment gleefully … and shot Neku. Back to Neku and his “Game”. Much to Joshua’s disdain, his Producer, one Sanae Hanekoma, or more affectionately known as Mr. H, who seems to have a tight bond with Joshua that is never truly explained, grows closer to the Composer’s “proxy”.
Mr. H provides as a guiding, logical light for Neku. … And it helps that Mr. H is actually CAT, the artist that Neku admires most in life. In fact, the only person Neku admires. As Neku’s first week continues, partnering up with a self-conscious girl named Shiki, the Composer’s victory seems to be drawing closer. At the end of the week, Shiki and Neku coming out victorious, Shiki was selected to become “reincarnated”. Neku was forced to play a second week. Another attempt at a second change at life.
However, in order to secure victory, Joshua decided to partner up with his proxy. He assumed the form of a fifteen year old boy (whether or not Joshua is actually that old and is a young Composer is still questionable . . .). Basically, Joshua drove Neku nuts. Not only did Neku not catch on to Joshua’s hints regarding his true position, but he grated on the boy’s nerves with his satirical attitude. He was a “pretty boy” and Neku just didn’t trust him. All the while, radical Sho is off trying to make illegal “noise” from symbols to try and overthrow the Composer. He’s suspicious of “pretty boy”, who is far too strong to be a normal “Player”. Neku seems to think that Sho is after him (but he can’t really tell, because you know, he’s got amnesia), but Sho is in fact after Joshua, the Composer. At the end of the week, Joshua is presumed “dead and erased” by Neku. Devastated at this loss of yet another friend, Neku begins his third and final week, partnering up with one Beat.
Joshua, who had to leave the stage to complete this feat and accomplish another step in his plan (and stay the heck away from Sho), was sent to the lovely Tin Pin World. A parallel plane where alternate versions of people roam about! … Not too much happened, except that he relaxed in the Sewers ( Secret Composer Lair, you know), waiting for his Producer to locate him and transport him back to his real-world. … And he got to meet the alternate Neku and company, …. And the alternate him, who, somehow, seemed even gayer.
Moving on.
When Joshua returns, one week later, he meets up with that math-maniac Sho in the Shibuya River. Sho, who had been presumed “erased”, in actuality had brought himself back to life using a Taboo Noise sigil. Oh, and he was hell-bent on destroying Joshua. Finally fed up with Sho’s antics and his taste for mutiny, Joshua unleashes a powerful attack-and crushes Sho with a vending machine. A sad, fitting end. Joshua heads to the end of the tunnel, to meet with his Conductor, who had just been defeated by Neku, and Beat. Surprising Neku with his return, Joshua allows his Conductor to then “capture him” and utilize his power to attempt to “defeat his proxy” in a last showdown. Neku wins, frees his friends, and the Conductor. Joshua congratulates Megumi for making it this far … and then tells him he has failed, and that his timer has reached its end. The Conductor is then erased before everyone’s eyes.
It is then revealed to Neku that yes, Joshua was the person to in fact kill him, and that he was plotting to destroy Shibuya. Neku was his precious proxy and his assured victory. Neku utters out words of distaste and betrayal, unable to cope with the stun. Joshua merely smirks and offers Neku “one last game”. He hands the boy a gun and tells him that on the count of three, they’ll both shoot. Whoever wins gets to be Composer. Neku is unable to shoot, and is once again shot down by the Great Composer.
Before he passes out, he sees the face of Joshua and Mr. H (who is also a ‘traitor’ … in more than one sense of the word, seeing as how he was playing against Joshua and helping Sho and Megumi to try and preserve Shibuya). When Neku wakes up again … he’s back in the Real Ground. Later, he meets up with his friends, and Joshua and Mr. H watch them from a nearby rooftop. Mr. H notes that the Composer looks “down”, and when questioned, Joshua takes off in a ball of light. Mr. H laughs and follows after, almost as if hinting he knows what’s about to happen.
What is about to happen? WHO KNOWS.
[KAT'S HEAD - CANON for Joshua's childhood]
Joshua was born to a full-blooded Japanese Mother and an American, businessman. The family lived in Shibuya, Tokyo all their lives, and were close-knit when Joshua was born. After a few years, Joshua's father left the family, for reasons unknown. Whether it was over an affair he was having, was plain unhappy, or felt it was best, he vanished from the mini-Composer's life when he was five. He had coined the nickname "Joshua", because he liked trying to Americanize the young boy just as much as his Mother bathed him in Japanese culture. He was taught to play Piano and was urged by his Mother, a musician, to become one as well.
While growing up, Joshua met Mr. Hanekoma, who was a close friend with Joshua's mother. When Joshua's mother passed away, Joshua, at the age of roughly seven, was alone. The only friend he had from the age of seven until fifteen was really Mr. Hanekoma. He developed his slight snark because of the older man's influence, and was exceptionally lonely in childhood. Mr. Hanekoma never mentioned the Game, nor did his Mother, nor the fact that he was an Angel, sent to watch over Shibuya like many others were.
It wasn't until Joshua found out about the Game himself that he desired to rule it. Absoluete power corrupts absoluetely, and he felt that he would finally have a purpose if he could win the Game. Ever since he was fifteen, he could see the Game. Things other people couldn't. The Noises drove him insane, and he regretted ever learning about it.
He died by drowning. Which has already been revealed to most of Somarium through a painful dream that was made-up, but alluded to his own cause of death ...
But it was a lonely boy's suicide attempt to find a purpose.
[Personality] Joshua Kiryu is nothing short of an enigma-a double-sided coin.
The side that is most prominent is the one demonstrated throughout the game. Joshua is anything but a people person. His statements are usually curt, witty, or just plain sarcastic. He always has something to say, but getting him to say it straight is a bit of a challenge. Joshua would rather dance around a subject and force the person he is conversing with to connect the dots. If they don’t, it’s his or her loss, and it’s all the more amusement to Joshua. The giggles, hair-twirling, and unnerving smiles, intermingled with the occasional smirk, really doesn’t cement his “innocent and helpful” act. Joshua is anything but innocent.
Joshua has a tendency to act as the devil’s advocate. Not only does he grate on people’s nerves with patronizing statements, ridiculous suggestions, and a strange set of priorities, but he also has a knack of pushing people to their limits. During his week with Neku, Joshua forced the previously antisocial boy to begin to trust. He tested Neku’s limits and purposely made the week hell for the young teenager. Whether it was the Composer’s incredibly high vibe, or just his peculiar personality, that drove Neku up the wall is still unknown. Regardless, it was apparent that Joshua took much enjoyment in teasing Neku at any chance that presented itself. Whether that teasing involved random Shibuya trivia, or mere nattering on about ramen, Joshua was there to poke fun at it.
The other side of Joshua is a more serious one. Because he is the Composer of Shibuya, he can’t be all annoying “fun and games”. Although Joshua’s interest lies in what’s best for Shibuya, he has grown to have a twisted perception of the world. He tends to view people and things as indispensable. Shibuya not going well? Erase it and start anew, no big deal. Kill an innocent boy to play in your Game and use as your proxy? No big deal either. Anything to make his point, make it well, and assert supreme authority and do what he thinks is “right”. He can be cold, calculating, and indifferent when the situation calls for it. Business is as business does, and erasure is something that has grown commonplace for him. Death no longer bothers Joshua, considering his expression did not falter, even after Megumi’s timer ran up and the man disappeared.
Still, whether or not it is all a façade, Joshua grew significantly as a “person” during his Game. His decision to erase Shibuya was stayed by the progress of Neku and his friends. Perhaps Joshua has grown to see that people are not static and have the ability to be dynamic. People aren’t all mindless fools who can’t put two and two together. Perhaps, just maybe, the world isn’t so trite and boring. Perhaps things sometimes deserve second chances.
[Specialties/Abilities] He’s a mini-jesus. Ha, no not really but still. As Composer, he controls the Reaper’s Game, though that really wouldn’t be relevant in Somarium. He can use “Jesus Beams”, as fans have dubbed them, that has Angels soaring down from the heavens in pillars of light, attacking any Noise in his path! … and he’s pretty handy with a gun, considering he shot Neku how many times? Oh, and his wit is flawless, and he’s got a great ability of pissing people off. … And he’s great at history.
[Affection] I don't think Joshua even knows what physical affection is -- or would know how to react. ... It'd be interesting.
[Fighting] HE CAN JESUS-BEAM YOUR ASS -- I don't know, just ask me.
[Other Facts] No touching the proxy ♥
