In My Heart
Friends
Aslan
aslandish A bastion of light...who also happen to be a kind and graceful lion king. Joe's a bit in awe of him, and knows that he is powerful and good. As for showing him hope, and believing in him despite his darkness? Well, that also makes Aslan the best kind of wise and understanding friend.
Jinx
hexyoutotuesday He's in awe of this catty, competent super villain. She's got that Bad Girl appeal. And when he and Jinx combine their powers of shenanigans... look out, Siren's Port.

Unlucky Bike ||
Mothers & Pizza Lady Amalthea
notamare She talks like the kind of Princess you'd find in a Fairy Tale...so for the most part Joe assumes that she is one. In turn, she seems to assume he's a knight! Which he's happy to play along with.
Maya Fey
acemedium A cheerful girl who is a little too optimistic for Joe sometimes...but she's a fun Burger date, and he can't help but think she's cute, if a little naive.
Namine
linkthismemory The first special person in his heart. While she's changed and shattered his memories, there's still a promise to keep, and replica fully intends to. He'll protect her and forgive her...even if he's unsure what he means to her.
Hello Again ||
Naruto
unfeasible Naruto's a great guy to pal around with- be it volunteering in a soup kitchen together (and getting thrown of for starting food fights), blowing up SERO buildings, or spending an evening playing X-Box, he's always a good time.
Riku
walkthedawn The Real Thing, the Original...things were strange and strained, of course, when Riku and his Replica began to share lives again. Moving out of Riku's shadow and coming into his own, however, has put Riku in more of a mature role of guidance, older brotherly light. Sometimes they squabble over the couch, or Replica will feel sullen over their similarities, but they've been learning to tolerate one another, even appreciate having someone who knows them by instinct.
Roxas
pullsheavendown Sora's nobody. Its almost ironic that he's become Replica's closest friend, but maybe their natural companionship falls somewhere between understanding what it's like to be the reflection of someone else, and being the reflection of Sora and Riku's friendship. They share bunkbeds and both work at Grant Stadium, and of course share ice cream together at sunset.
Tifa Lockhart
meteor_heart That half-big sister, half-mom figure...the one who makes sure you eat your vegetables and get enough sleep. Oh, and teaches you how to better kick people's ass. One of the first in Siren's Port to take him under wing.
Xion
mirroredmemory Another replica, created by the Organization. Joe is still a little astonished to find someone like him, although he can't quite decide who she's a replica of... But he's vowed to be a protective friend to her too.
The Same Sky
Aquaintances
Giovanni
derbruder Noki's 'Big Bro', who asks uncomfortable questions and raises challenging points. Joe has an unconscious desire to prove himself, but Gio also reminds him a little of Zexion. He's fought this 'dog', and Giovanni has proven quite the challenge.
Riddles Haruhi
modestmusume Joe gives her a lot of credit- to put up with someone as crazy as Tamaki all the time takes patience. They've only spoken briefly, at the Canada Day festivities, but he thinks she's nice.
Have you seen a girl? Light Yagami
killswithapen Light has proven to be something of a confidant, when Joe is in a moral dilemma. While Joe is reluctant to make choices that go against his friends, Light has often reassured him that he isn't so wrong, and that the world isn't always so clearly light and dark.
Miles Edgeworth
mentis_reae There's miles of misunderstandings between these two, which Replica finds frequently frustrating. Between Edgeworth's intellectual experience and faith in the law, it's hard to feel validated by this guy at all, which puts him firmly in the "Adults who Don't Get Me" catagory.
Criminal Actions ||
Legal Counsel Near
neargenius Somehow, candid Replica has become his regular informant. He finds Near a little nosy, too nosy to trust entirely.
Ritsuka Aoyagi
little_bandages Somehow, there's always a little miscommunication going on here. But Ritsuka's a friend of Riku's, and that makes them awkward acquaintances. They've become a bit better friends since Christmas.
Making Memories ||
Scholarships Sam Merlotte
deservesabone Hired replica as a Club 24 DJ...LIKE A BOSS. Sam's earned a lot of Joe's respect, but he can't understand how the guy actually likes hanging out with Edgeworth. Now the owner of Neutral Club, Merlottes.
Sander Cohen
taketheearsoff Riku and Jinx's...crazy theater director. Replica just finds this absinthe-loopy, 'visionary' artist a little too bizarre. But Sander's recently shown some faith in his talents...and so Joe's found himself in something of a movie-making and media discipleship, entering the Film Festival together.
Sirius Black
atrumcanis A prankster who's taken to calling him 'Rotty Joe'...but helped out big time in sabotaging anti-newcomer film fest competitors.
'Fire Lord' Azula
peoplesprincess Passing along a 'newcomer gift' means that Joe's helped this fallen royalty out by dragging her halfway across the city for wingnight at Club 24. She intrigues him.
Tamaki Suou
daddydaioh Replica finds his enthusiasm endlessly entertaining...at an arm's length. He's also the first greeter recommended to any newcomers who need a friendly face.
Terra
todomarishi An older, trained warrior of the Keyblade. Joe admires him as a Role Model, and hopes to be able to practice and be stronger so he can live up to that sort of legacy...even though Terra's expressed his own doubts about being strong enough to protect his friends.
Dark Aura
Enemies
Master Xehanort
caliginose He says he's a Master of the Keyblade, but Joe has been cautioned that Xehanort weilds the darkness, and could be a serious danger to his friends. Riku also thinks that he's connected to the heartless that took over his body- so Joe is wary, but curious.
Vanitas
theprobator A creepy, provoking kid with a darksuit resembling his own...AND SORA'S VOICE?!
Zexion
illusionomicon 'Minas' is all cryptic questioning and circular conversations. Perhaps its punishment for strangling him to death.
Nowhere ||
The way I see it... ||
Are you curious? Axel
fireintwilight Axel's lead him astray once before...and replica's not about to be used again. He's also not so fond of him for keeping secrets from his bff Roxas.. Not happy, now that Axel's been staying in the apartment.
Loz, Kadaj & Yazoo
argentstrength argentcrueltyargentallureThese three brothers, Children of Jenova (unfortunately mistaken for the affiliation with the Catherdral of Jonova) have adopted Joe as 'Family.' After all, green (ish) eyes, silver hair, made in a lab...we must be brothers! There's just one little problem:
These guys are big trouble for Siren's Port. Joe's attempt at giving helpful directions turned into a slaughter at a church, and later they beat up and shot city prosecutor Miles Edgeworth in his office, after he unwittingly told them the address. Joe's still guilty that he holds some collateral responsibility for these attacks, and doesn't quite know how to shake this crazy trio...so he'll just be the prodigal son and avoid them, for now
....except, nope, they decided to target his workplace, Club 24. Looks like we're not a happy family anymore.
But Not Forgotten
Dropped CR
Vexen
memoryswiles No fond feelings to spare for the creator.
Made with no heart? ||
Darkness Monsters Shijima Kurookano
heartdissonance A strange girl...but she's good company for lazy afternoon chats.
Freedom Alice
nurserabbit Upon searching for city nightlife, she's been invited to Club 24 while Joe picked up the tab...isn't he a nice guy?
Club 24 Sora
the_bluest_sky Okay, so...maybe it's a little more complicated than buddies. In fact, he's really Riku's Best Friend, and this remains something of a point of tension between them. But Joe's slowly learning to accept that Sora will take him as a friend as who he is, another person, a different person. Even so, surfacing shattered memories sometimes leave a lingering pastel-smudged trace of something deeper on his heart...but he knows those as just false copies of feelings that aren't his own.
Jet
afreedomfighter A tough-talking gang leader who's taken Joe under wing. Together, they plot corporate sabotage. However, Joe has a little more hope in Fire Nation Princess Azula than Jet's willing to tolerate...
Amaterasu
goldhue Only the coolest dog ever. Replica will gladly fork over his lunch meat any day.
Coolest Dog Ever ||
Try a Slurpee? ||
Market Day Kairi
wtf_keyblade Kairi is the other side of Namine, her heart, Sora and Riku's best friend. This makes things between them a little strange, but she's a sweet-hearted girl, and Joe likes her company because it feels so familiar...
Katara
unyieldingwater A waterbender whose determination earned her a job down at Hideaway Lake. Joe admires her guts to go for her dreams...and her wary hatred of the Fire Nation has left him wondering about Princess Azula.
Noki
pastabullets Replica's found himself in the odd position of 'Big Bro'. She's a cute kid, if not a dangerous one, and anyone who can regularly frustrate Vexen is a plus
I'm a Bro? ||
Cupcakes for Breakfast ||
In trouble Kanji
assrenovator A sparring partner! While their first meeting started because of a taunting session over boys sewing rabbits...a 'kick your ass' challenge.
Brooke
tapdancinskelly What kind of walking skeleton is afraid to go in a haunted house? Joe thinks this guy is hilarious, but won't be taking him seriously any time soon.
Cheryl Mason
callunaelectra A girl he's run into before briefly in the darkness...as a PSP-playing monster. He hasn't yet realized that this is the same girl he's spoken to before by day.
