Joss is one of the four personalities of the Merron twins, a pair of strongly bifurcated androgynes (see The Curse of Metamor for more info on bifurcation). He shares a body and a set of memories with his "sister" and alter-ego, Amber; the other twin's body houses his brother Kal and his sister Jessica.
Personality
Joss is gentle, thoughtful, and inquisitive. He knows how to treat a lady and is unfailingly courteous in his dates with Kate. He has a keen sense of the absurdity of life in general and his own life in particular, and he has a talent for self-effacing humor. He goes through life alternating between smiles, smirks, and looks of bemused interest. He got into photojournalism in a quest to add some variety to his life, and to see a bit more of the world than just the studios and photo shoot locations that have been a large part of his life since his teen years. Despite his androgyne heritage, he is very strongly heterosexual, and is actively looking for "the right one" to spend his life with.
Religion
Religiously speaking, both Joss and Amber are currently operating on about the same level as Kate: they know Eli is real, have no serious doubts about Him being the Creator, and attend service on Sundays. While they are genuine Followers of the Meraist Church, there isn't much passion or intimacy there, and while their faith has shaped their morality it doesn't always direct their day-to-day actions — their sexual experimentation in high school being a good example.
Career Path
Like his brother Kal, Joss is a photographer, but he moved out of fashion and into photojournalism a few years back. Both of them got into photography by way of modeling, which they still do on occasion; Kal in particular likes to use Joss for his pictorials in men's fashion magazines like Gentleman's Monthly.
