oh gosh, i got'cha! specifics, then: do you have any thoughts on joshua's time in new canaan, before or after his time in the legion? does he participate in mormon festivities and holidays, post his time in the legion? also, is there any particular headcanon you're fond of re: him that you love to talk on? if so, share!
oh BOY. this can be tied in to what I just posted for @malpaislegate about Byrum…  but first, if we’re just talking canon, oh yeah I think he definitely goes through all the motions for mass and holidays and whatever else when he gets back to New Canaan after being burned, probably really clings to that routine and whatever performative aspects of his faith he can. Growing up I also imagine he was probably a pretty repressed kid…. those anger issues don’t come from nowhere. I find it curious that there’s no mention of a partner he set off with on his mission, which is unusual. I like to imagine he DID have one, but this person suffered some kinda. awful fate. and Joshua kept on so their mission and their death wouldn’t be in vain…. just makes  him more vulnerable when Edward comes in to the picture and tempts this repressed, traumatized mormon kid with his supposed worldliness and lust for power.
As for AU content….. I DO love to talk on this…… absolutely ofc we’ve given him an in-depth childhood that explains Some Things…. one of the things we did was create narrative parallels with the courier, Jules McAllister–the relevant things here are their guilt about what they’ve done, particularly the feeling that they SHOULDN’T have even existed, because they both were unplanned children….
Joshua was a single child. He did the math at a certain age and realized that there weren’t enough months between his birthday and the day his parents were married…. leading him to conclude that his very existence was formed in sin. it was unusual enough to grow up a single child in a mormon community, and while his youth wasn’t particularly AWFUL…. it was just…. kind of repressed. His household wasn’t cold per se, but it wasn’t the warmest, and his parents were certainly devout and strict. They almost had a…. professional relationship with each other, and with him. Naturally he was kind of a distant kid, but without much outlet for whatever he was feeling–thus some explosive outbursts of anger and other feelings becoming a habit while growing up. He was both exemplary in his dedication to his education and learning his father’s trade–gunsmithing and tooling–and also a problem child, not above expressing himself with violence when desperate. It’s what he was taught…. whenever he acted up, like in a lot of families in New Canaan at that time, he got the belt. 
At the very least, there was ONE person who really looked after him–Byrum Pratt, who had even baptized him, around that time noticing how distant this young child seemed to be. He saw how vulnerable young Joshua was and tried to offer his guidance when he could–always had errands for him to help with in the church and snuck him baked goods for it, always was there to listen and talk to, always was there to try and help get him out of trouble. Even when others had written off Joshua as a loner and a problem child, Byrum tried to see the best in him, and tried to help him socialize with other kids and go on the sorts of childhood shenanigans that all children should, and saved him from some beatings by making up excuses for him whenever he was caught on them, haha. When Joshua got a little older, Byrum was the one who got him interested in languages, teaching him some greek and latin, Joshua’s interest spiraling off from there. Naturally….. Byrum was far more a father to Joshua than Joshua’s own father was. 
When it came time for Joshua’s mission, he sent off the 17-year-old with another trusted missionary on a very important and crucial task that was often competitively sought after–first contact with tribes, spreading the Good Word for the first time. And we all know how that ended up… Byrum  gave Joshua everything that SHOULD have prevented him from doing the awful things he did... Joshua had every opportunity to realize how what he was doing was wrong, and yet he consciously chose to ignore everything that Byrum had taught him...
When Joshua came crawling back to New Canaan, bandaged and bloodied and ashamed, Byrum welcomed him back with open and loving arms; the Prodigal Son had returned. He was lost, but now is found. Byrum ended up being quite important in getting the community to welcome back Joshua, and helping Joshua to re-integrate and try and deal with what he had done. Byrum…. even after all those years as the Malpais Legate, he still saw Joshua as that lost child, coming to him in tears, bruised after his father had beaten him. While he means well, Byrum is also not…… perhaps a perfect judge of character either.
Anyway, there’s a person alive who’s MORE than willing to tell embarrassing childhood stories about Joshua to anyone who’s got the gall to ask, LOL

@malpaislegate AM I WRONG!!! and YES the flag still kills me too...... I was just.... putting together shit in photoshop based on some old Deseret flags and I made the edit with the gun in the claw and zoomed out and just. lost my fucking shit. showed it to emily. we both lost it. had to keep it. 
AS FOR THE 12 SURVIVORS OF VAULT 70.......... here’s their entry on our timeline:
May 22nd, 2140: The 12 ghoul survivors of Vault 70 emerge just outside of the ruins of SLC, including amongst them Byrum Pratt and Bert Gunnarsson
May 22nd, 2150: After a decade of prayerful discernment in isolation in the main temple in SLC, the 12 depart the ruins of the city and seek out civilization, running into scavengers heading north, whom they accompany to Ogden, finding a small but stable rag-tag group of Mormon survivors living there
Late 2150: The Mormon Church is officially reformed with the 12's guidance, especially driven by Byrum, and Ogden is renamed New Canaan. The 12 then part ways to find other Mormon settlements to re-integrate into the new church
Basically, the canon lore for Vault 70 is that it was located just outside SLC and populated almost entirely with devout Mormons, and then the vault suit extruders were set to break after six months so they eventually wouldn’t have proper clothing LOL. Where our AU kicks in is establishing that after a while two factions emerged in the vault: those desperate for clothes and those who said fuck it, and essentially became devout nudists. The first generation in the vault see the problem get worse when the clothed half attempt to fix the suit extruders and eventually find some success, except the clothing they make is irradiated, but they wear it anyway because they think it’s better to be sick and pure than healthy and immodest. the nudists naturally reject this and become more devout in response to prove they aren’t sinners. The breaking point comes when the clothed faction had accidentally rendered themselves sterile thanks to the suits, and out of desperation tried to fix the extruders again only to unleash a newer, more intense wave of radiation that kills almost everyone in the vault except for 12 of the nudists who are flash-irradiated and ghoulified.
Lordy I’m putting this under a cut because it’s getting long ofc
They survive and cling to their faith after the disaster, leaving the vault to find an empty, dead, irradiated world. Because they’re ghouls, they can survive the radiation just fine, and head north to SLC, which is still empty thanks to lingering radiation. The big main temple and churches are miraculously intact even though they’re surrounded by craters from the bombs lol. In the Survivalist’s logs it’s mentioned there are 13 nukes that hit the SLC area, which I have to believe is intentional because like, Jesus + 12 apostles..... (later on the craters are named for the Holy Son and each apostle.... we have them drawn on our map. did we mention we have a google map with all our AU stuff on it? because we DO). Anyway like it says up there, they help firmly re-establish the church in the region and provide guidance for the Mormons who survived in Utah.
Bert Gunnarsson, who you can meet in game at the Aerotech Office Park and who canonically is an Elder from New Canaan, is one of them. The OC we made who’s the crux of the group, however, is Byrum Pratt, and he’s just. The Best. Despite losing his family and everyone else in the vault, his faith guided him and he still remains hopeful, being an extremely jovial person with an infectious personality, always ready with a joke or a long-winded story at hand. As one of the nudists, while most of the time these days he’s clothed, he still likes to remind people of his origins and so you never know if you’re gonna see a naked ghoul sunbathing near the temple on a nice day LOL.... a lot of people still find this pretty unacceptable but also like. Everyone loves him and he’s one of the 12 so what are you gonna do??? lmao.
His whole deal and what he preaches is that 12 were spared by God to help guide the Mormons left in Utah, as well as serving as a reminder for their own sins--not ones of immodesty, but the spiritual and communal negligence of the clothed faction who spurned them, and who they in return spurned as well in bitterness. They are now stricken with the same condition they scoffed at them for--sterility. But the lesson remains, the clothed ones were so obsessed with trivial details of their faith like modesty that they were willing to give up something, far, far more important--their fertility, and ultimately, their lives.
Under him and the 12, the church gets a little more lax on certain details of the faith, as they stress the importance of really keeping God in your heart and that God, family, and community come above all else, and not to lose sight of this by falling into performative routines that lead to a false, sinful sense of superiority.
When Lex forms the Latter Day Nephites, he’s super on board with the idea, being declared their leader in a figurehead capacity. He commands a lot of loyalty and helps wrangle a lot of folk to help the effort, and later is crucial in the establishment of New Deseret.
He’s also the one that FINALLY gets Joshua to help the resistance.... by personally asking him to come, and well, Joshua can’t say no to BYRUM.... but that’s ANOTHER long explanation, hehe.
