Joel Severe

Joel Severe is an original original character created by J. Severe. Created for another series of stories, this character was eventually brought into the Phineas and Ferb fandom due to the creator's want of an OC, and the fact that he was too lazy to create a new one.

Joel is your typical middle-schooler. He craves for adventures, hangs out with a gang of misfit friends, and makes witty statements. In the P&F fandom, he is often shown to be brave, and sometimes quick to fighting, though still has a sense of justice.

Biography
Joel Severe was born to some parents in some year, most likely in the late '90s. The boy, like everyone else, grew up, went to school, and had some friends. In his recent years, in that other series that has no relation to P&F, he went on several adventures to save the world with his companions, which often involved climactic and life-risking battles which he found fun to be involved in.

Eventually, at some point, his school devised a foreign exchange program with a school in Danville. This exchange was publicized on the news as being the first foreign exchange program to actually not send a student to another country, but to a school just a few states over. Joel, who had been shown to be well in academics as well as a brave individual, was chosen to participate.

Joel traded places with an obscure student from Danville Middle School in the middle of September as part of an agreement to stay there with that obscure student's family from that point in time until before Christmas Vacation, by which time he would go back to his regular home. The obscure student would stay with Joel's family.

Once Joel arrived at Danville Middle, he met Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher. Seeing that Phineas was as smart as he was, and perhaps even more so, Joel grew a bit jealous, and began a rivalry with him. However, after some event that the creator hasn't made up yet and probably will be covered in a later fic, the two became close friends, and Joel was introduced to a rest of the crew, and practically became one of them in his time there.

Personality
Joel is a wise-cracking and joke-making individual. He also frequents sarcastic comments. However, most of the time, he is shown to be quite nice, helpful, and friendly to those who are kind to him back. Due to his past encounters, he tends to be suspicious of anyone who sports abnormal characteristics.

Severe is also seen doing more action than other members of the P&F crew. For example, if the group were to be being attacked by someone or something, he would most likely be the first one to try to cause physical harm to said person or thing. This does not necessarily mean he is violent however.

Personal Appearance
Joel Severe's appearance is heavily based off of that of his creator, having tan skin, black hair, brown eyes, and the so forth. The creator also wore gray sweatshirts and blue jeans a lot during his younger years, which led to him giving Joel an identical outfit to them as part of his wardrobe.

Like most other cartoon characters, Joel, for some reason unknown to man, wears the same clothes day in and day out, for weeks, months, and even years at a time without them being dirty or something of the sort. And even if they get dirty, they're inexplicably clean later on in the story/animated program.

Phineas and Ferb meet Joel Severe
In this third-party story which features the character's unofficial first appearance in the series, Joel comes to Danville on vacation and meets up with Phineas and Ferb there. He and Phineas even share an awesome song when the episode begins.

Some Halloween Story
In the character's official first appearance, Joel has been with the P&F crew for awhile now, and participates with them in the annual trick-or-treating. However, unforeseen complications with an evil magician leave him, Phineas, and Ferb scrambling for a way to revert everything back to the way it was before it is too late.

Future Appearances
Phineas and Ferb The Story: Return to the 2nd Dimension: Though Joel has supposedly returned back to his home town by the time this story takes place, he will be referenced in the tale but not become a major character.

The Truth Trilogy: Though this trilogy takes place before Joel participates in the foreign exchange program, he will be referenced somehow. This creator swears it.

Untitled Christmas Story: This will supposedly focus on Joel's decision to either stay on Danville, or go back home to his family during the holiday season. In a sub-plot, he will also try to court a girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

The Lie about Joel Severe: Its title a parody of The Truth Trilogy, this will explain the origin of how Joel came to Danville in explicit detail, and will serve as somewhat of a crossover between the original series he comes from, and P&F.
