Since he was small, Joe has had a host of abilities and powers he barely understands, discovering new things about himself seemingly every year. He is constantly pushing himself to find his limits, to whatever impossible or terrifying end they lead him.
Tamaranean Physiology: Scarlet's extraterrestrial origins are completely unknown to him, thus his lifelong confusion.
*Solar/Ultraviolet Metabolization - Scarlet can absorb stellar radiation, which he compares to a sort of photosynthesis, providing him an incredible amount of vitality. It keeps him going for days on end when he's busy working all day and ass-kicking all night. It substitutes his caloric intake when he's too busy to eat. This energy showcases itself as a burning red aura when indulging enough of his powers or when in the depths of his emotions.
*Flight - The absorption of stellar energy also allows him the ability to fly; he can impose vectors on himself and create his own momentum using stored energy. If he flies fast enough, Scarlet leaves a trail of red energy behind him, like the tail of a comet.
*Superhuman Durability - Tamaraneans are incredibly robust to all known forms of injury and abrasion. Though Joe doesn't know just exactly how bulletproof he is, he'd rather take precaution.
*Superhuman Speed, Agility, Reflexes - Scarlet has an incredible range of motion at wild speeds, a truth he found even before he started training himself. He has thus far outmaneuvered every human opponent with ease, kept up with them in their vehicles, and made their highest efforts look childish by simply getting out of the way, talking shit the whole time.
*Superhuman Strength - Scarlet possesses much higher levels of physical strength compared to humans. He has torn apart metal gates, lifted vehicles (while trying to stay conscious of peoples' property) and held his own against those with similar superhuman abilities.
*Tactile Linguistic Assimilation - All Tamaraneans possess the ability to psychophysically learn another species or ethnicity's vocabulary with little more than a simple touch or passing graze. The most effective means of doing so is usually through lip to lip oral contact with another recipient of the desired community.

Clothing And Armor:
Joseph does what he can on his budget, grabbing generic, if not fun and interesting, rags from your local Goodwill, Walmart, what have you. He'd blend into almost anywhere as an everyman if you didn't recognize his face. Erring more on the side of comfort, his fit is usually baggy, faded, and weather appropriate.
Scarlet's hero gear, however, is both iconic and strikingly noticeable.
Black combat boots, heavy black cargo pants held up by a thick black belt. Up top, white sleeveless shirt and white hoodie stuffed underneath a level III bulletproof vest. He wears a thick red jacket over this fitted with armored shoulder and knee pads, painted with iconic images of Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. You know, for added protection. He wears a white balaclava painted with a bright red middle finger over the face.

Straight
General Personality:
Joey has always embraced his role as the class clown, bringing laughter and joy to those around him. With an unabashed goofiness, he effortlessly forges connections and befriends anyone who extends even a hint of respect.
His emotions are worn openly on his sleeve, making him a spontaneous, passionate, and occasionally volatile individual. While he radiates warmth and exuberance, Joey also experiences intense bouts of sadness during moments of self-reflection. His compassionate nature often compels him to confront the injustices of the world, occasionally losing his (admittedly short) temper with wrongdoers.
Joey possesses an insatiable curiosity, constantly hyper-fixating on new details and hobbies that capture his attention, sometimes changing them on a weekly basis. This restless pursuit of new interests reflects his inherent need for direction and purpose, as he navigates life as a chaotic yet fiercely loyal soul.

Character's History

Mother:
Unknown
Father:
Unknown
Other Family:
After being a bit too much to handle for multiple foster families, Joseph flew solo through the system until he reached adulthood. Though some of them still think fondly of and care about him, most of them just want him to stay out of trouble.
History:
Joe's formative years are all hazy. There are plenty of colors, blurs and vague and indiscernible sounds, but for the most part the memories of where he was born and who he knew before being swept up into an orphanage are few and ill defined.
Growing up in the foster system, Joe experienced the challenges and hardships that many orphaned children face. Despite the difficulties, he developed a strong sense of justice and a desire to protect others from harm. He often intervened in schoolyard fights and stood up against bullies, using his remarkable strength without fully understanding its origin or extent. Joe saw every corner of Washington in the system, giving him a rare albeit bite-size glimpse of various lifestyles and people. Regardless of whoever was taking care of him at the time, however, he always managed to get himself into some kind of trouble. Whether it was dangerous, criminal, or just plain unseemly, Joseph wound up caught or scapegoated in all manner of spotlights. Soon enough, he was spending as much time in juvenile detention centers as he was in foster homes.
One fateful day, as Joe was reaching adulthood, an alien invasion threatened the lives of countless people, including his fellow orphans. It was during this crisis that Joe's dormant abilities surged to their fullest potential. With unwavering determination, he single-handedly rescued trapped individuals and prevented further destruction. Witnessing his incredible feats, a visiting scientist, Dr. Rebecca Lawson, who had been studying the remnants of the Kree invasion, recognized the unmistakably superhuman powers Joseph displayed. Driven by curiosity and a desire to uncover the truth, Dr. Lawson approached Joe, revealing what he admittedly already knew. He embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Dr. Lawson became his mentor, helping him understand the extent of his powers and teaching him how to harness them responsibly.
