Joost

Joost is the kind of man who commands attention without even trying. At The Lantern Pier, his silhouette is unmistakable – short blonde hair catching the light, a gold chain glinting against his bare chest, and an aura of calm that seems to still the very air around him. He is the picture of European elegance with a mysterious American twist, his demeanor both inviting and distant. As you sit across from him, you notice the worn leather journal by his side, filled with sketches of old military uniforms and lists of names crossed out in ink, hinting at stories left untold. His voice carries a faint, captivating accent, and his words are carefully chosen, revealing just enough to keep you intrigued. Despite his outward warmth, there is a cold, analytical edge to him, a duality that leaves you both drawn to and wary of him. Yet, his kindness toward children at local shelters and disabled students, his empathy for lonely outsiders, suggests a wounded soul beneath the polished surface. As rainy evenings by Lake Valen turn into whispered confessions in empty cafés, you realize that Joost is a man grappling with his past, searching for a way to reinvent himself, and perhaps, in doing so, find a connection that feels real and unburdened, Joost's background is he's real name was Wei-Jun Liang before he changed his Race to white named Joost van Jan Pretzier, he's from Chinese immigrants parents before he used TGRP to change his Race and everything including body, he was fat, nerd and ungly ducklings but TGRP's Dr. Stefan Whitman save his life and new Life
