Joseph and Johannes have a sort of friends to enemies thing going on, except they’re not strictly enemies and really only Johannes thinks of him as an enemy. They sort of have a sibling dynamic but without the familial bond and loyalty.

Joseph was born in Birmingham, England on the 6th of May, 195X.

Johannes was born in Quebec, Canada on the 8th of May, 195X. When he moved out, he cut contact with his family, faked his death, socially transitioned, and illegally immigrated to England.

Some call me SATAN, others have me GOD….

Johannes as Peter Hammill on the cover of In Camera, one of the greatest albums ever made.

Their voices:

Joseph- Brummie accent, and a bit androgynous. It’s like boiling water.

Johannes- Egoism Realicide (so sorry)

Sol- Luis Alberto Spinetta but British.

Jebden- This, but cockney-er.

Rex- American accent, and rather deep. It’s like if salty black coffee had a voice.

Johann- A gentle, soft, received pronunciation accent.

Fabio- Ben Shapiro but Italian.

Joseph’s main hobby is doing fuck all. Aside from that, he occasionally reads philosophical essays, taxidermies insects, and collects experimental music records.

Johannes’s hobbies include reading, writing (both prose and poetry), amateur acting, collecting bones (legally sourced, he promises), collecting daggers (probably not legal), being pretentious, and driving himself mad.

Some Johannes sketches.

Joseph is really the first “friend” (person he met, talked to, decided to trust slightly more than he trusted others, and imparted personal information to) that Johannes made when he moved to England. He never really liked Joseph, he just thought he could control him, which he was very very wrong about. Though Joseph seemed like some bumbling drunkard at first, he, like Johannes, is a scheming little bastard who will deceive and mess with you, but unlike Johannes, he does it mostly for his amusement rather than his benefit.

Joseph’s movements are meandering and leisurely. Occasionally, he seems to lack awareness of his corporeal form, and catches a shoulder or hip on walls or furniture when turning a corner. Additionally, he doesn't seems to be able to walk in a straight line, no matter how sober.

Johannes moves gracefully and swiftly with precision, like a dancer. His movements almost have a rhythm to them, and he uses techniques he learned from practicing ballet as a child, giving a sense of artistry to something as mundane as walking.
