MAJOR UPDATE: Much more has been added to this reference sheet and altered to put better development into this character, background, relationships, etcetera. I will be doing an update for Ella as well soon, so be on the lookout. This is quite long so be warned, feedback is appreciated

Edit: I changed Joseph's proxy name to something a little less… silly, if that's the way to describe it. Originally, it was supposed to reflect on the names of Masky and Hoodie of Marble Hornets, but now I feel it's kinda dumb and wasn't serious enough. One of his aliases will still be Beanie, but his official proxy name will be based on his mask. He still prefers just being called Joseph, though.

Verse: Slenderverse

Proxy Name: Two-Scars

Alias: Beanie, The Masked Man, Joey

Real Name: Joseph Cohen

Current Age: 26

Gender: Male

Ethical Origin: German/Italian

Place of Origin: Salem, Oregon

Species: Human

Personality: Joseph Cohen can come across as rude and impatient, but under this tough armor lies a man that is loyal and strong in many ways. While he can be quick to anger, he is typically very calm around those he knows. Joseph is just as emotionally vulnerable as anyone else inside his exterior, despite his efforts to hide his weaknesses. He is also protective and quite tenacious.

Astrological Sign: Leo

Birthplace: Salem, Oregon

Blood Type: B+

Sexual Preference: Bisexual

Relationship: Single

Alignment: Slenderman and other Proxies

Affiliation: Slenderman

Occupation: Construction Worker/Proxy

Proxy Class: Ambush Proxies- These proxies are quite similar to the attack proxies, only instead they lie and wait in one spot until when their target isn't looking, they tackle without warning and kill them on sight. Like the scouts, they also keep a look out for danger, but unlike the scouts, who prefer to stay out of combative situations, the Ambush types are made for combat.

Proxy Type: The Agents- Act for him despite not being under his control. Whatever their motivations, if they act on his behalf, then they are Agents. One of their biggest assets is that they're totally sane and retain all of their mental faculties which means they can target Runner in ways far more creative than anything that the Tall One himself can think up.

Official Backstory: (Summarized)
Joseph Cohen was born August 18th, 1988 in Salem Oregon, to Lisa Cohen and Robert Miller. Joseph lived with his mom, his dad, and his younger brother, but once he turned 14, his dad left him and his family. Having no other options, he and his family had to move to a smaller town in a new state, closer to his grandparents.

Adjusting to his new life was rather difficult for him, and his mother's newfound irritability and brother's annoying tenancies weren't making things any better. Once school started, things began to mellow out. He made friends around the neighborhood and spent less time in the house and with his family, but his friends were influencing him to act out more.

Tuning 17 was no walk in the park. One night, he and a few of his friends were screwing around the neighborhood and decided to go into the woods to mess around. It was there Joseph began the long and painful process of becoming a proxy. He started to become more hostile towards society, get into fights, and become a bully. To make matters worse, he started having random nosebleeds and headaches the middle of class.

Joseph increasingly became more paranoid and forgetful over this process and developed a temporary alternate personality while being controlled by Slenderman. He would wake up in strange places and couldn't remember how he got there. This went on for a year or so until he finally became a true proxy and was marked. This lead to him and his separate personality to join and for him to regain the memories he lost. He left home and began strict training and full missions.

Special items:
Old German coin, given to him by his grandfather
Maltese cross necklace, which was given to him by his grandmother
Picture of him, his mother, and his brother
Swiss Army Knife

Weapons: Anything lying around, but his main weapon is an aluminum baseball bat

Special Abilities: Due to being stalked by Slenderman and becoming a proxy, Joseph has developed abilities such as communicating with Slenderman and other proxies through telepathy, and a quicker healing process (for physical wounds and such), even though he is fully human.

How They kills/wounds in Combats: He tries to knock you out using his bat or a blunt object, if you are not of use to him or his master, he'll just kill you by beating you to death.

Strengths:
Heightened muscular strength
Usually strong willed (Low enough for Slender to control him)
Focused (Will get his work done as quick as he can)
Limited telepathy
Quick healing process
Bold (Willing to take certain risks to help his fellow proxies)

Weaknesses:
Normal human weaknesses
Irrational (Does not think before acting or listen to reason in combat situations)
Uncoordinated and rigid in combat situations
Has Type 2 Diabetes (Has to take insulin occasionally)
Slow running capabilities
Has bad back (From childhood injury)

Relationships:

Parents:
Lisa Cohen [Alive]- Joseph loves his mother with all his heart. When he was younger, his mother worked very hard to support her children. Even though she was busy, Lisa would continuously try to make time for Joseph and Mikey. He doesn't always listen to her or tells her he loves her and even sometimes argues with her, but he sees her as strong and independent. Joseph will attempt to help his mother with anything he can.

Robert Miller [Alive]- Joseph had some major daddy issues. He despises and resents his father for leaving his mother, breaking her heart in the process. Joseph doesn't really know much about him, but he believes this man is selfish and doesn't care at all for. He used to love bonding with his dad, but now if he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out. He also wouldn't let his brother, Mikey, near him.

Children: N/A

Relatives:
Michael ‘Mikey’ Cohen [Alive]- Although Joseph occasionally finds Mikey annoying and dorky, he still cares for his little brother. They do often argue about stupid stuff, but Joseph does try to protect Micheal, even if he doesn’t want him to. Joseph is secretly jealous of the attention their mom gives him and Mikey secretly looks up to Joseph.

Edward ‘Eddie’ Cohen [Alive]- Joseph doesn't see his uncle much anymore, only during short visits and the holidays. When he was younger, his dad and Uncle Eddie would take him camping and fishing to teach him survival skills. Eddie now lives in Berlin, Germany with his wife and child.

Maria and Abraham Cohen [Deceased]- When Joseph was younger, he would always go over to his grandparents' house to help his Grandma cook and hear German folk tales from his Grandpa. Both recently passed away due to old age, leaving Joseph heartbroken. His grandmother giving him a maltese cross from her own father and his grandfather giving him an old German coin before they died.

Partner: Single

Love Interest: He has many

Familiar: N/A

Mentors:
David Bortner- His Language Arts teacher in high school who taught him to be loyal and never give up
Benjamin Walker/Proctor- His trainer and ally, who helps him focus his mental capabilities and become a powerful proxy

Friends:
Ella Lopez/Messenger - When they first met in middle school, Joseph and Ella had multiple classes together, but never really talked. It wasn't until they were made lab partners and Ella started to tutor him that they began to hang out. Their relationship grew and now they joke around and look out for each other. Joseph is extremely protective of Ella and cares for her very much, though he does try to hide it under his tough exterior. Despite his fear of death, he would almost risk his life to keep her safe.

Jack Ayres ( )
Lucy Black, ( )
Kristine Richards ( )

Allies: Benjamin Walker/Proctor, other proxies,
Melody Robertson/Midnight Killer ( ),
Elizabeth Brooke Daniels/ArmyBrat ( )

Rivals: Hysteria ( )

Enemies: Erica Clark, Charlie Carson, proxy hunters
Tiber ( )

Kolby Jager ( )- Once came across one another in a bar as Joseph was on a break. Joseph was too drunk on his ass to try to fight him and wanted to give one his fellow proxy a chance to escape, so he fucked around with Kolby instead.

Quirks:
He fiddles with his hands when he's been sitting for too long
He looks m̶o̶r̶e̶ pissed off whenever he's thinking
Whistles random songs when he's bored or tired

Pets: A German shepherd named ‘Big Pun’

Notes:

*Death is a pretty major fear for Joseph. He's not usually the kind of person to take orders, but Joseph's underlying fear of death is what drives him to bow down to Slenderman, even when he's not under his control. No, he won't cower in fear when threatened with a gun, because he knows he can at least try to fight back. With Slenderman, he knows he can't fight back against a paranormal being that can drive a tendril through him in an instant.
Joseph was chosen to be a proxy due to his increased strength and survival skills, like knowledge of hunting, camping, and fishing. His willingness to obey because of his fear also played a key role.
Joseph possesses a seemingly permanent scowl.
His German heritage is a large part of his life, more so than his Italian heritage.
**’Ich werde mich nicht beugen’ means ‘I will not bow” in German.
Joseph hates the heat.
He mostly enjoys quick flings and hasn't really been in a relationship with someone for more than 3 days.
Joey needs reading glasses, but he almost never wears them.

Only family is allowed to call him "Joey", he gets very angry when anyone else calls him by that nickname.
