THE CHARACTER
Who’s got two thumbs and loves Quidditch, flannel, and a good bowl of chili? Joseph Mulkerne, baby. Feeling down? You know your boy will show up with a six pack of your preferred beverage and a bag of charcoal to grill all your worries away.
Joseph doesn’t instantly strike people as the professional Quidditch player type. If you saw him in a Walmart produce aisle checking avocados for ripeness, you’d probably think he spends most days typing numbers into an Excel spreadsheet and snacking on saltines. He embodies the “just some guy” vibe, and that’s cool with him. He really is just some guy. Joseph was born to muggle parents in Northern Idaho, the eldest of three, and experienced a standard, if not a bit rural, all-American upbringing. As a young lad he liked nothing more than spending the summers biking around the woods with his friends, fishing with his dad, and watching sports on TV.
Of course, his idyllic northwestern forest life came screeching to a halt on his eleventh birthday. Suddenly there was some guy in a silly little hat in his living room, speaking very kindly to Joseph as he sat between his parents and was told his life was about to change very abruptly. That the accidents and little inexplicable events that tended to follow him throughout his life were not, in fact, just some peculiar tricks of the light. It was magic? Was this guy nuts? Apparently not. Before he could totally grasp the situation, Joey was packed up and shipped off across the country, completely bereft of anything he’d ever known. He’d only been East of the Mississippi once on a family trip to Florida. Now he was expected to live in Massachusetts? Where the New England Patriots were from??? He couldn’t stand it. That was somehow more disconcerting than learning magic was real (note: this writer is a Giants fan). Nevertheless, one must persist.
Once the initial shock wore off, Joseph did alright in school. He wasn’t particularly talented, but he didn’t blow himself up too often either. Joseph was, of course, immediately smitten after witnessing his first Quidditch game, and found he took well to the broom himself. After a few years of practice, he made his way onto the Wampus house team and never looked back. He was drafted by the Sweetwater All-Stars as a reserve Beater, playing for a year before making the starting squad. After a few years on the team, he was traded to the Karasjok Kites, which brought with it one of the biggest culture shocks of his life, second only to Ilvermorny. You know what’s colder than Texas? Norway. Flying around in the arctic circle? Baller move but cold as hell, if he may say so. Fortunately for his aging bones, Joseph was eventually able to negotiate a trade to Braga Broomfleet, where he has played ever since. Joseph also holds a starting position with the United States National Team, where he is particularly close with his teammates.
In his early days with the club at Braga, Joseph and his then-girlfriend had a daughter. Although the romantic relationship did not last, the two remain friends and co-parent their kid. He spends as much time as he can with his daughter, but is the first to admit that Quidditch gets in the way more often than it should. Still, it’s a thrill to put her on his shoulders in the middle of the pitch and show her off to the crowd after a win.
