PLOT HOOKS
Josh has the ability to heal people. If your character has some rare genetic disorder and/or some painful or extreme physical mutation, Josh may be able to assist with that. While he will not remove powers or abilities from people, he will gladly assist with making them less painful or easier to cope with.
On the flip side, Josh can also hurt people. He has used these powers in the past to extort people into doing what he needed them to do, though he's not proud of it. He does accept that sometimes force needs to be used and will reluctantly do so again if he's backed into a corner.
His morality is relatively flexible (and growing more flexible each day) and he's not above causing a little harm or using his powers to extort people if it gives him what he needs.

ABILITIES
// Josh is a biokinetic with the ability to heal, harm, and diagnose people. His healing and harming abilities are split into two distinct states: Gold and Lead. Neither form is truly different from the other, it's just drawing on a different side of his abilities. Josh has drawn a hard divider in his mind for his powers and has split his abilities accordingly to it. He's still drawing from the same limited energy pool and can't switch forms to reset it, only stop using them and wait for it to recharge.
He can physically be in either state (lead skin, gold skin) without actively using his powers. They're triggered by physical contact - either by him touching, or being touched - and not in use unless there's physical contact.
GOLD FORM. In canon, Josh is what's known as an OMEGA LEVEL MUTANT - meaning that there is currently no scope for how strong his powers will grow. He's able to alter the human body on a genetic level, allowing him to heal injuries, reverse the damage done by unnatural mutations, and even revive the dead. He does not need to touch anyone and can project a healing field for miles, healing everyone within it on a genetic level. This is more than a little overpowered and as such, I'll be placing a cost on it. Josh healing at this level would put him in a coma for at least a month. In general his healing costs his own energy and if he exhausts himself enough, he'll collapse into a death-like coma state.
Josh can heal people without needing to touch them. The further away from him you are, though, the less effective his healing is.
In his gold form, Josh can also regenerate himself almost as quickly as injuries are inflicted upon him. This means he could tank through direct attacks and instantly heal from the damage, eventually, the strain of fixing that damage would catch up with him and he'll collapse.
Josh has complete control over his own biology. This has pros and cons: while he can heal himself in this form, he can't be healed by external forces. If he pushes himself too far or is too badly injured, he'll drop into a coma until his body has recovered enough to wake from it. External forces are not able to cure him.
LEAD FORM. To contrast the healing, Josh can also cause harm. Josh's abilities aren't truly defined as healing, as in repairing the damage that has been caused. It's biokinesis. The ability to manipulate the human body on a genetic level.
He's demonstrated the ability to create cancer where there was none, to draining the life out of people around him, to creating specialty made tumors. He could jack someone's body temperature up to a brain-melting level or reconfigure someone's genetic structure to include a deadly allergy to the sun. Or he could give someone he really doesn't like a cold.
Josh does not use these abilities lightly and any use of them will be run by other players.
In addition, he can't heal in this form. Josh cannot heal at the same time he's inflicting harm.
I'm fine with any additional limitations the mods want to put on his abilities - the ability to instantly kill people is stupidly overpowered and needs to be nyxed immediately.
BIOKINETIC SENSES. Josh can sense the health and abnormalities in the bodies of the people around him. He's able to pick up on Monet's parasitic brother, on Sabretooth's inversion, and Magneto's general fragility. Consider it something akin to standard telepathy, except instead of thoughts, he's picking up on biological feedback. He seems to be able to sense the 'emotions' of the illnesses and abnormalities he's curing as well.
