Josh the Hedgehog

"I am the Primordial Ancient Minor of the Tempests, Joshua. Bear witness to my zephyrous magic!"

- Josh the Hedgehog's main quote (2015).

"Shine, Ancientcalibur."

- Josh when summoning his sword: Ancientcalibur.

Joshua, Ventilus King or Josh the Hedgehog (ジョシュ·ザ·ヘッジホッグ Joshu za Hejjihoggu) is the Lesser Deific King of Ventilus. He is also the main character of this wiki.

Early Life (Ages 0-229)
He was born in Ventilus on October 4, 2000. His parents were Zephyrus the Hedgehog and Clivera the Hedgehog. He is the eldest son among two children. His younger sister was named Severina the Hedgehog, the current Ventilus Princess. He graduated six years in Cryglen Magic Learning Center (now called Ventilus Basic Magic School), six years in Cryglen Magic High, and four years in Ventilus National Magic University as top-notch. He finished Aerokinetics Course and Masteral of High Primeval Magic. When he was 200 years old (considered young in Ancient Dimension), he became the heir to the Ventilus' Royal Throne. When he was over 280 years old, his ancestor Aero, Deific Wind, granted him the authority to become the Ventilus King, after his unknown deceased great-grandfather. Since his reign in Ventilus, he sought to go to other dimensions to meet more friends.

When he was eight years old, he met Caitlineia the Hedgecat, the beautiful daughter of their hospitable neighbor, which was a Ventilussian couple living in a dainty shrine, symbolizing the Pagonian spirit. They lived together as childhood friends. Due to their strong bonds, he was able to give her a nickname, namely "Yuki", which meant "snow". It is because she loved the snowy days. However, three years later, Yuki was separated from him by a renegade Pyronian dragoon, turning her into a slave. He swore to bring his friend back by settling the situation with the man in a peaceful way.

The Ventilus King: Year 2757-2765
In JTH's main continuity, Josh appeared in this comic book as the 757-year old Joshua Zephyrius, the protagonist of the story. He travelled along with Reius Draganea (Rey the Hedgedragon) and Astreia Lucernumbrea (Astreia the Fox) to stop the conflicts between the Pyronian monarchy and the renegades led by the Shadow Knight. He investigated the occurrences to find a lead behind the long-term enslavement of his dearest childhood friend Caitlineia and the relation of Astreia with the Shadow Knight.

The Apocalian-Antiquian War
Josh was one of the Ancient Kings who waged war with the former Apocalian ruler, Snowstorm the Conqueror, due to his relentless invasion. Snowstorm attacked Antiquus (Ancient Dimension) with his Dark Legion armada, slaughtering the innocent Ancients for unknown reasons. He and the other Ancient Kings retaliated. One day, during dawn, Snowstorm tore through the ranks. Even the Ancient Kings had a hard time battling him, because of an unknown power named the "Darkness". Fortunately, Snowstorm's immense powers decreased a great deal because of the sunrise. Together they defeated him and his armada, restoring peace to Antiquus after five years of war.

Meeting his Long Lost Childhood Friend
However, his friend stayed in a cathedral, and received a mysterious power, which Josh himself did not know, because his friend is in another land. However, since the Four Ancient Kings have formed an alliance, Josh still remembers her. One day, he took a stroll in Ventilus Grasslands, during winter. To his shock, he unbelievably saw his long lost childhood friend, which her young visage had changed into a visage of a maiden. However, this chance has faded, because she disappeared before he attempted to talk to her.

His First Adventure in Ancient Dimension
One day, in the year 3234, he woke up again, seeing Dr. EggRey in his robot. Suddenly, a Nexus Rift appeared (due to the Three-Planet Alignment) and Dr. EggPlankton lands on the ground, noticing that they were sucked in by the rift. Josh saw more robots and became more confused. Fortunately, his fellow Ancient Leaders teleported to Ventilus and helped Josh destroy the Jack-4 Bots that caused the mayhem. Suddenly, two creatures fell from a Nexus Rift and started to attack the Jack-4 Bots. Josh recognized the first creature that he saw, which is Jack the Hedgehog. Josh asked him who the second creature is, which is Patricia the Skunk. The heroes battled against the two mad scientists. Fortunately, both have been defeated by a combination attack. After the fight, Jack and Patricia asked him about the Ancient Kings. After the conversation, Josh acted as a tour guide for them in Antiquus.

When he told them the whole story of Antiquus, he began to feel dizzy. Louie noticed this but thought that he was just sick. However, when Louie saw a hedgecat walking toward the group, he cannot believe his eyes. Josh finally met her long-lost childhood friend. As said in the prophecy, Josh was to go to Cryolus with her. When he was opening the portal to Cryolus, Noah the Hedgehog, the Cryolus Ancient King, suddenly appeared from the portal, while the hedgecat disappeared. Josh planned to have a conversaton with him in Blizzard Frost Castle.

When the group went to Cryolus, they noticed the hedgecat walking nearby. Jack noticed the woman, but there was no answer. Josh lightly tapped her shoulder to catch her attention. She was startled and slowly turned her head, looking at him. She steadily opened her mouth wide in surprise. There was a moment of silence between the two of them. Josh asked her if she was Yuki, but sadly, she has forgotten about her own name. He asked if she was well, but she replied, "I don't think I am...". Josh asked Patricia about what to do with her. She invited Yuki to join them, and she did. Afterwards, Josh pointed the direction to the Blizzard Frost. Suddenly, a horde of Equera Bots and Jack-4 Bots were heading to their direction and attacked them. They noticed that Noah was gone. He and Thomas switched elements until they destroy the horde. Josh saw a cave down the cliff and went inside it with his friends as he switched to Haos form.

He saw a note that stated: "Beware of the Pizaca". They talked about the Pizaca that long lived in that cave. When he sensed the Pizaca's presence, he led the way to the creature. When they walked in the east cavern, he saw Sonic the Hedgehog battling the Pizaca. Seeing that he needs help, he released a lightning bolt at the Pizaca, paralyzing it. Sonic greets him. Sonic told them the reason why he was here. Josh heard that Sonic saw an Ultra Emerald in the cave, so he requested Sonic to give it to him, and he did (six emeralds to go). Hearing that Thomas was going to detonate the pyrotechnics inside the Pizaca, they all escape the cave. Thomas destroyed the Pizaca with bombs and the group went to Pyronia, the fire continent.

Josh and his friends arrived in Pyronia. He deduced that the heat in the continent was emerging from Mt. Calderius. He and his friends entered the Mt. Calderius' den. Feeling the high temperature, he concentrated cooled blood to run all over his body. Noticing Jack mentioning his Attribute Arm Brace, he told him that it it artificial. He explained about his natural BakuEmeralds and the Circulus Water that Thomas gave to them. When they went to the west, they saw Blaze the Cat in danger, cornered by an Orthling. They saved her and fended off the Orthling. Afterwards, they greeted each other. Blaze explained why she was here in Antiquus. After that, they rushed off to the exit, until molten rocks bar the exit. Much of a surprise, four Orthlings charged at the heroes. Josh and Jack fend them by combining their water attacks. He switched to his Subterra Form and removes the dead end, enabling them to exit the den. They all went to Seaborgia, the water continent.

Josh thought of an idea. He challenged Thomas to a swimming duel. They both swam to Seaborgia at supersonic speed. The others traveled through Patricia's flying broom. Josh and Thomas made it in Seaborgia first. When they were about to park the broom, a golden emerald fell from Blaze's hand but fortunately, Josh caught it. He found another Ultra Emerald (five more to go). He thanked Blaze. After that, they went to a beach and saw four Sahagins surrounding two friendly beings. The echidna punches them with full force. Josh hurriedly transformed to Rising form and entrapped the Giant Sahagin in a large whirlpool, then Patricia whacked the giant off with an Iron Tail. After that, they recognized the two creatures, named Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna. Josh asked them how they arrived in Antiquus and Tails explained to him. Josh told the true nature of Ancient Dimension, in that it is encased in a planetary barrier, which only the Ancients can pass through. After that, Tails revealed an Ultra Emerald. Josh took it, thanking Tails. After that, they went to the continent Pyramus, the earth continent.

They arrived in Pyramus. Josh himself sensed no new ally and instead received an envelope. He opened it and read the letter inside. Knowing that Dr. EggRey himself sent it to him, he formed a portal to Diablodia, the dark continent. When they arrived in Diablodia, Josh peeked around the area. He saw guards sleeping. An explosion occured, alerting the guards. They rush to the throne room. The heroes went to the throne room, seeing Shadow the Hedgehog. He saw a golden emerald and requested Shadow to give it to him. Shadow sighed and gave the emerald back. When Josh received it, they encounter two Metal Titans. Jack and Shadow spammed Chaos Powers at them, but they were unable to deal damage on them. Josh advised them not to repeat, unless the Titans are about to fall. He shifted to Pyrus Form and told Jack to shift to Pyrus Form as well. He, Jack, and Patricia assaulted the Titans, dealing small damage on them. After Jack weakened the Arctic Metal Titan with his Fire Blazer, Josh told him to use Chaos Bone Crusher on it, thus the Arctic Metal Titan was destroyed.

Starting a Family
After The Being of the Wind series, Josh & Yuki got married, as specified in the Ancient Prophecy. Joshuki/Roleplay: Josh & Yuki's Ancient Marriage is the roleplay of their marriage. As time passed, Josh & Yuki had 3 children named Tempest the Hedgehog, Glacia the Hedgecat, and Reiki the Cat.

Personality
He is a noble creature, being one of the Ancients. He is calm and collected, even when at tense situations. He is a compassionate creature, always helping those in need.

However, when certain parts of his personality are negatively referred to, he becomes quick to anger to those who stain his name as a primordial being, as displayed when Dr. EggPlankton refers to him as an old man. He also displays this attitude against people who disrespects him since he is a king. These are the only things that can provoke him, aside from his family being harmed.

He usually hates flamboyant people, because the extremity of their behavior gets to his nerves. Cryos the Wolf served as a prominent example. He describes flamboyant people as arrogant and show-offs.

As shown in Roleplay: A Very Merry Christmas, he is very stern but in a calm way. He is also keen of everything around him. As shown when Jivy reacted to what Josh has said, he didn't care if she is a child or younger, because he values discipline and must be applied EVEN to young ones, giving him a hint of Lawful alignment. In giving discipline to other children, he doesn't give any intentional threat, but merely makes facades because he does not want the negative attitude of the child to continue and he does not have other choices but to do so.

Sometimes he may lose patience easily when he is in a bad mood, which can be triggered by fatigue. He might jump to conclusions, like in Soldiers' House/Season 1 Episode 1: Mixing it Up a Noach[sic], when he opposed against the currently-good Serpentan Separatists, yet when doing so might end up revealing a fact, which he expects to happen. Sometimes, he particularly treats Darkstorm a nuisance because of his tendency to compete with others around him.

He might be arrogant at times during battle, but he displays incredible prowess in using his innate abilities to back it up. Since he was in a royal bloodline, he grew up in a transcendent way.

As a father, he has indomitable willpower, willing to sacrifice himself to protect his family, especially her wife. As much as possible, when his wife is about to enter a battle by herself, he takes the stead to prevent her from taking too much harm, even though she cannot die. It is because he values his wife a great deal despite her current situation.

Abilities
Ancient Aerokinesis
 * Josh has fully mastered Ancient Aerokinesis in a young age (280 years old, which is considered "young" in the Ancient World). He was taught by his ancestor to cast this type of magic in order to become a king. He can control wind freely to form wind currents, tornadoes, cyclone shots, & storms. He can knead wind energy into wind blades and wind orbs. He can also sharpen his wind magic to increase damage. His main form of magic is much more advanced than regular Wind Magic, enabling him to do more wind attacks others can't do.

He has a new set of skills starting 2015:


 * Primeval Tempest - Josh kneads wind energy in his palms and releases it with full force, creating a strong twister on the field, but not as a big as a tornado. This attack has three variations:
 * Primeval Tempest: Pursuit Secutor - This variant chases its target endlessly and obliterates it, unless countered with strong fire magic.
 * Primeval Tempest: Demolitionary Archon - This variant can wreck multiple buildings on fierce contact.
 * Primeval Tempest: Ring Nexus - This variant takes on the form of a huge tornado lunging at a line of targets.

Weather Control: AERO
 * Josh, being a wind-type creature, has fully mastered this magic when he was in training with his ancestor. He can manipulate wind-based weather conditions and other disasters to overwhelm multiple opponents.

Weather Control: HYDRO
 * He is strangely 50% attuned to water, so he can manipulate intermediate water-based weather spells.

Immense Running Speed and Agility
 * He can move at extreme speeds. He can move faster than the speed of sound, due to his Tachyon Magic. He can do this while heading to multiple directions. His usual approximate speed is 771 meters per second. His top speed is unknown, but it was rumored than he can nearly run in the speed of tachyon, only when he is in maximum energy. He can execute kicks at his enemy in fast succession.

Immense Flight and Swimming Speed
 * He can also fly at extreme speeds, as well as swimming. Due to this, he is able to dodge most ranged attacks, but may vary on his reaction time, trajectory and speed of the projectiles.

Underwater Breathing
 * Due to being strangely 50% attuned to water, he can breathe underwater as an auxiliary ability for his supersonic swimming speed.

Chronokinesis
 * Josh has an innate ability to slow down the flow of time. He can do lots of attacks when he affects his opponents with his time magic. However, he only uses this seldomly, due to the unnoticeable physical strain it deals to him when used excessively.

Super Transformations
 * He uses the 7 Chaos Emeralds, the Master Emerald, 7 Ultra Emeralds, and the 12 Infinity Emeralds to trigger his super transformations.

Chaos Powers
 * He could use only few Chaos Powers, because he is not a pure Mobian. He abolished his use of Chaos Powers and strived to follow the traditional arts of the Antiquians.

Tachyon Magic
 * 1) Chaos Tornado
 * 2) Chaos Heal
 * 3) Chaos Spear
 * He can control tachyon energy in his body, thus enabling him to control time or outlast opponents with his unknown speed. He can finish opponents by charging his feet with tachyon energy mixed with electrons. However, he cannot pass tachyon energy to others who don't have the ability to harness tachyon energy internally and externally. He can also charge his Ancientcalibur with tachyelectron energy and deliver a lethal slash that can easily defeat multiple enemies.

Enhanced Flexibility
 * He can easily dodge most slow attacks through his natural flexibility. To an extent, he can dodge most dense attacks and even manifold attacks, through speed and flexibility. He can do backflips and cartwheels as dodging.

Weaponry Knowledge
 * As the Archon Emperor of the Imperium of Antiquian Science and Technology, he has a vast knowledge of using most weapons that possess advanced technology. However, he is more proficient in the traditional fighting arts of the Antiquians, such as the Antiquian style of swordsmanship. He often uses his Ancientcalibur in battle.


 * On 3238, he made two special buckles for weapon storage. He created the Dimensional Cross System to avoid fatigue when carrying too many weapons when traveling. He created an empty dimension he called "The Warehouse" to store his side weapons and installed the system in the buckle's core. He gave the second buckle to Rey the Hedgedragon. He can summon his side weapons through the buckle by pressing a corresponding button which opens a portal connected to The Warehouse. He then pulls out the matching weapon through The Warehouse's special magnetism. He seldomly uses his side weapons in battle.

Immense Intelligence
 * He has great intelligence, ranging from 280-300 IQ. He had the ability to build an organization himself, invented most of its weaponry and built its military knowledge. He did even invent many notable machines that I.T.S. held. He finished magic school earning a vast range of knowledge about magic.

Enhanced Refined Strength
 * Though he may not look like it, Josh has enhanced strength, because he has a high pool of magical energy inside his body, although only his kicks do pack more power. However, he lacks raw power, unless he is in Static Form.

Electric Nullification
 * He has the uncanny ability to nullify electricity. He earned this ability in his explorations in Electrochroma, in which former King Gamma rewarded him a special Chromasapien gene that gives him the ability to resist currents of electrons that may harm his body, because he helped fend off the Regimenians from the planet.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant
 * Even though one of his weakness is physical attacks, Josh is a well-known combatant. In Ancient Leaders RPG, he was able to barehandedly fight a master combatant from the Dark Planet: Stealth Ninja and even outmatched him because of his speed and power as an Ancient King.

Healing Magic
 * Josh can also cast various healing spells he learned from magic school. One of the abilities he himself invented is Ancient Revitalization, which is a highly potent healing spell.

Immense Magic Durability
 * Josh can withstand a load of magical attacks (except fire) thrown at him without feeling too much pain.

Weaknesses
His obvious weakness is physical attacks, as shown in Ancient Battle Chapter 1 that Dark Ogre Jack can even harm him even in Hyper Form with an Ogre Punch.

He is known to be short-tempered sometimes, as shown that he almost have destroyed Cryos the Wolf because of Cryos' arrogance.

He is shown to be a bit weak against fire, as shown in Ancient Leaders RPG, during the attack of the Flame & Freeze Wyvern. He intended to enter Ventilus because he can't withstand the heat in Pyronia. He can withstand heat, in an extent, as shown in The Being of the Wind, where he doesn't pose problems in heat, because he has stored enough beneficial water in his body.

Starting 2015, his flaw against physical attacks has been greatly mitigated in exchange to increase fire weakness, through vigorous physical training with Thomas.

Weapons
Currently, these 5 weapons are rarely used. Only his Ancientcalibur is commonly used.
 * Ancientcalibur - Josh's primary weapon, seen in the Shrine of the Relics. It is a relic diamond sword imbued by the power of the Ancients. It can shoot beams from its edge and can slice even the hardest metal. During Josh's first time using the weapon, it was heavy. But as his desire connects to the Ancientcalibur's psychic power, Josh carried the sword with no problems.
 * Lys - Josh's secondary weapon. It is a forged golden spear with an orb that contains light energy. This weapon is upgraded when in Emperor Form, thus becoming the Imperiallys.
 * Zap Rifle - a rifle that fires EMP. Its disadvantage is that it only fires spherical EMP shots when immediately used after recharge, due to lack of activity.
 * Shocker Claw - a claw that is fast to scratch an enemy to make longer combos. It can slash on metal, dealing direct damage. Its disadvantage is that it is uncontrollable when used for hours.
 * Magma Spire Cannon - a cannon that can fire superheated magma. But its disadvantage is that it reloads too slow because of its high power & large capacity.
 * Ancient Cannon - the strongest weapon in Josh's arsenal. It fires a huge laser beam with heavy gamma radiation. Its limitation is that it charges somewhat slow and it reloads very slow, unless charged by an Ancient.

Appearance
He has green fur; upward quills; cyan streaks on his head, arms, quills, and legs; tan chest and muzzle; and a slightly tall height.

Attire
He wears a green Ancient King's Trenchcoat with a golden armor add-on, a pair of grey High Ancient gloves, grey trousers, a white V-neck tee underneath the robe, a pair of tachyon jet skates, a cape, and a golden singlet on each limb.

They made a friendly conversation. They see 5 doors & he with Alice enter the 5th one. The others went in to their chosen doors. He & Alice arrive in a hallway with machines.

He removes the key from Jack's shoes & throws it at Noah. Noah unlocks the door & they enter a room which is very dark. He feels Jack's face, and he thought it was the Sacred Torch. He pulls out the real Sacred Torch beside Jack & puts fire on it, making the room bright. Jess presses a switch, but the basement gap doesn't open. He steps the second one, opening the gap, making them fall down the basement. He sees that the basement gap is closing. They enter the 1st challenge room & evade the Ancient Sniper's shots. After that, he senses the Bucket Orbs passing the rooms & he destroys him. Only 1 was left & sent a signal to Dr. EggPlankton.
