Appearance Josh is depicted as an obese teenager with a round chin and a noticeable amount of acne. He wears square-framed glasses and ties his long, chocolate brown hair back into a ponytail. He is almost always seen wearing graphic t-shirts featuring imagery or titles of the media he likes, usually worn under a blazer with a windowpane pattern.

Personality Josh is blowhard, short-tempered, and obsessed with anything science fiction. He's quick to turn to violence when angered, commonly strangling the object of his ire. Despite his love for collecting merchandise, he usually finds himself unable to complete his collections, a constant source of anger for him. He is also quite selfish and somewhat paranoid, believing the other club members and even people outside it are out to get him, seen in Captain's Log: Stardate 5598.7, where he claimed that Toys R Us was hiding toys and job applications from him. Josh seems to carry deep-seeded negative feelings for his fellow club members, as he commonly has nightmares of them pinning him down and beating him.

He rolled his eyes and adjusted his grip, the weight of the tin oddly symbolic of the chore.
When he reached the door, he hesitated. The house next door had been empty for months, and he’d almost gotten used to the eerie quiet of it. Now it seemed too alive, too neat.
