Joseph Goldstone

Joseph Goldstone (originally Jozo) is the husband of Goldie, father of Jacob, Misty, and Gabriel, and a half human stone swordsman. He first met Chyenne on the Dark Island in 2021, after she had run away. He later met Wu, then Lloyd, then eventually Goldie, who he became close with.

Trivia

 * It was revealed in a DeviantART journal written by the author that Joseph is actually half human. How this is revealed in-universe will be in Chasing Memories 5: Keep Moving Forward.
 * Joseph's human parent, Samira Black, was a train robber who died after he was born. It's unknown as of now how she died.
 * His SOUL is, unusually, a human SOUL rather than a monster or hybrid SOUL. Also peculiar is that his dominant trait is Kindness, which compliments Goldie's Love SOUL perfectly.
 * According to designs made by the author, Joseph's hair is actually NOT solid sapphire, but actual individual hairs either made of sapphire or normal hair fused with sapphire.
 * Judging from how it's described in CM2, it's more likely the former than the latter.
 * However, the author has retconned quite a few things in the Chasing Memories Universe, such as whether Chyenne gave Joseph his human name or if Joseph named himself.
 * Joseph was actually "feral" at one point, at least until after the Ninja left the Dark Island, leaving their wrecked ship behind. Using what electricity was left, he learned how to be more human from the TV and computer.
 * He didn't touch the books because he couldn't read yet.
 * According to the author, Joseph's favorite food is French toast.
 * The guy who invented French toast was named Joseph. This connection was entirely intentional.
 * Joseph's spit is acidic, which makes it impossible to eat certain foods without it turning into goo.
 * His acidic spit is also toxic, as he is a stone swordsman (in the Chasing Memories continuity stone swordsmen and warriors have venom) but because he's half human, the toxicity isn't as severe as it would be if he were a full stone swordsman.
 * As revealed in the Ask the Goldstones Tumblr blog, Joseph bites in his sleep. This may be a stress related thing.
 * He hates water since he spent nearly 2000 years under the ocean.
