» Appearance Written:
Standing at 6'4 and weighing in at 170 pounds, Steiner is a tall and moderately built human to the untrained eye. Yet underneath his hand-me down clothes is the body of a man who keeps himself in tip-top physical condition, not because of a want to, but out of necessity to survive where he has been. His skin is slightly tanned, from his time spent in the sun as a youth, and body scarred from several years of abuse. Most notably the scars go down his back, remnant of a not so friendly childhood, and a reminder of what sort of hell he had gone through. Though regardless of his rough childhood, his aqua colored eyes remain bright and welcoming, as if defiant to the acts that were perpetrated on him growing up. Caring little for his own physical appearance, his mahogany colored hair is without thought, randomly strewn about in random directions as if he had just woken up, and decided to walk out the way he was. Yet, even though he cares little for personal appearances he does care about hygiene, and usually smells of high quality soaps and cologne.

As far as clothes go, what may appear to be flashy dress clothes is little less than hand-me downs from his adoptive parents. His adoptive father, having been a soldier, had a set of dress clothes that he lent to the young child after he was removed from his parent's "care", and Steiner grew into them. He wears them often, washing them at the end of every day to ensure that they are clean. However, this isn't the only set of clothes he owns, he has regular clothes. An assortment of cheap sneakers, shorts, long sleeve shirts, jeans, and jackets all hang inside of his closet, but that doesn't change the fact that the hand-me downs are his favorite thing to wear. The hand-me down dress suit is comprised of a white jacket with black shoulders, golden bangles, and a teal interior. The undershirt, not actually a hand-me down, but an dress shirt he owned is also teal.White pants and white shoes finish off the mostly white ensemble that Steiner usually wears. The last and newest edition to this set of clothes is an unknown sword, which Steiner has no clue how he got, or why he can't seem to get rid of it.

» Personality: To describe Stein's personality is to look beyond the hardships of his youth and dig into who he has become. Some would say due to the traumatic events in his life that Franz would exhibit some introversion, but it is the opposite. Steiner is an open, caring, and compassionate individual who sets himself above no one, and is willing to take the pain and hardships that comes his way to ensure that other's don't have to go through what he has gone through. He is the first to step in when a problem arrives and the last to leave when a problem is solved. As troublesome as that may sound, Stein doesn't seem to mind being the guy to step in when the going gets rough as he knows what could happen to other's if issues are not dealt with as quickly as possible. This tends to lead to quick judges in character however, as Stein quickly assess situations, and doesn't tend to read into the context of things. He mostly only sees right and wrong, however he can be persuaded to believe that there is a gray.

As such heroism seems to come naturally for the eighteen year old, though he is unsure how he could be described as "heroic" as he believes that doing the right thing and helping others is what should be natural human nature. According to him protecting people and helping people with their issues should come to a person just as easy as they would breathe. This leads to philosophical differences and a great deal of headbutting with those of different beliefs, but Stein stands true to what he believes which further adds to the "hero" title that is thrown at him. To him, however a hero is something that he isn't. To him a hero is someone with the power to make a difference and he, being someone without power in a world filled with individuals with the power to change the world, can never be someone like that. That of course doesn't stop him from dreaming of one day becoming someone like that.

Some would call Steiner calm and collected as well, as he tend to not freak out when a normal person would. Once again, the tragedies of his childhood lend into this state of being. He has gone through so much torture in his life that most things seem to just not phase the eighteen year old as much as they would a normal person. Yet, he is still haunted by nightmares of his life spent with his biological parents, and those wounds still run very deep. Which is why he tries his best to remain calm and be as collected as he can, putting on an air of being much more mature than he actually is to try, and hide his own insecurities. However, behind that very same air is an eighteen year old with a great deal of insecurities.

Those insecurities, however have helped Steiner grow a great deal as a fighter, and as a person. Never believing that he is strong enough or fast enough to deal with threats that cross his path. This has allowed to Steiner to push himself very far in terms of physical training and mental conditioning. It has also helped him mold himself into the person he is today. His kindness springs from his insecurities, as his feelings of helplessness gained from years of torture at the hands of his biological parents, has helped him learn that no one wants to be alone in this world. So, he strives to be as open, and kind as he possibly can as to have no one feel like he has and at some times still does. It is through hardship that Stein has grown into a fine young man with a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong.

» History: Born as Steiner Halford, Steiner was brought into this world to a family that was never really supportive nor friendly to him. He was the second child of Corman Halford and Zaila Halford, both of which had not wanted a second child, but welcomed Steiner into their family begrudgingly. From the moment Steiner could walk he was treated poorly by his parents, who favored their first child, Yve who was three years Steiner's senior, to him. Yve was always the grading stick for Steiner growing up and whenever he disappointed his drunken father or his emotionally distant mother he would be reminded of how awesome his brother was. It wasn't until his eighth birthday that things went from mental abuse to physical abuse as his father, a failed musician and the town drunk, laid into him repeatedly with blows after Steiner had messed up a simple piano recital. All the while, Steiner pleaded for his father to stop, and looked for his mother and brother for assistance, but neither did anything. This was just the start of the beatings and for three years Steiner endured this. Three years of torture at the hand of his father as he pleaded for his mother and brother to help him only to see them turn a cold shoulder to him.

It was after one particularly nasty scuffle involving a jagged beer bottle, that child services was brought into play, and Steiner, then eleven, and Yve, fourteen, were taken away from their parents. Yve, after being taken away from his parent who had adored him blamed Steiner for everything, and left his brother high and dry as he distanced himself from someone who he labeled as a loser. Steiner, feeling isolated, and completely alone spent the majority of his time moping alone in the social house. Wondering as to what he could have done differently to have his parents love him like they did his brother. For a year, Steiner was bounced from family to family, none of them sticking with him for more than a few months as none of them wanted a child who was depressed as he was and as emotionally scarred. However, after reaching the age of twelve, Steiner finally joined the Franz family. The Franz family, who had always wanted a son, welcomed Steiner into their family, and embraced him as if he were their own. It opened Steiner's eyes to the real problem and warmed his heart.

Steiner became an extremely driven child as a member of the Franz family, dropping any vestige of his past life from the time he dropped his biological families last name and instead flinging himself head first into the fire of being a "Franz". With this new found drive, Steiner studied, and trained hard. Ditching music in favor of mythology, a much more interesting subject as he always dreamed of heroes of old in his youth, and training his body as to emulate such heroes. He became the apple of his foster parent's eye and over the course of six years brightened their lives and earned their love with each passing moment he spent with them. On his eighteenth birthday, Steiner Franz decided to move out, not by force, but because of his want to continue his studies. He wanted to go to college and travel a bit, things he couldn't do underneath the Franz roof. His parents, even though they wanted him to stay, understood, and helped Franz move to Tokyo where he could continue his Ancient History and Mythology studies. It was there that his past caught up to him.

Yve Halford, his older brother met him at the train station in Tokyo, and though Steiner had his differences with his family he greeted him warmly. Yve, began talking about a dig he was on for some unknown benefactor, as he had became an archaeologist, and was mildly successful. After learning of what his brother had become, Steiner talked of what he had hoped to do, and such drew some praise from his distant blood relative. Yve offered Steiner a job to come to the dig and be one of his interns. And though Steiner wanted to say no, the promise of money, and a trip away to a place he had never been enticed the young man to come with his brother. They went to Europe, where Steiner caught eye of what exactly his brother had dug up, a stone with a rusted and worn sword plunged into it surrounded by ancient and decrepit ruins. Remembering the tales of the knights of the round table and King Arthur, Steiner was greatly intrigued by his brother's find, and began to do everything in his power to find out just what this sword's identity was.

Over time, Steiner began to realize that the sword in the stone was Excalibur, but how it had gotten there was beyond him. Steiner, excited by the prospect of one of the myths being at least half true, went to his brother, only to find him making deals with the wrong sort. Yve, his older brother was selling ancient relics to some shady man who worked fro some unknown criminal syndicate in Europe, and they had been using Steiner to dig up research on if the sword was the real deal. Steiner, dumb founded by his brother's betrayal, decided to take matters into his own hands, and confronted his brother in the middle of a meeting. Yve, laughed it off, and called Steiner naive for believing he was an archaeologist and not some rare artifact broker, and order his associate to end him right then and there. Steiner ran for his life, escaping from the site, and making his way to the stone.

However, upon making it to the stone, he was quickly surrounded by goons, and with no means to defend himself. No means, except the rusted sword. In dire need of help and with no where else to turn, Steiner pulled the blade from the stone, much like Arthur had many centuries ago, and the world went black for him. Steiner awoke in Karakura town in a hospital bed, the rusted sword laying against a seat in a scabbard, with no recollection of what had happened, or how he had ended up where he was. Steiner, once released from the hospital, tried to rid himself of the sword by giving it to a museum, yet the sword came back to him by mysterious circumstances. Eventually after the twelfth attempt of giving up the sword he gave in and decided to keep it for himself. As there was no other solution. For now, Steiner is trying to discover how he returned to Karakura, and the mysteries behind the rusty blade dubbed "Excalibur".

Little did Steiner know that he had not only acquired a sword, but also a passenger who latched on to his body, and became a part of him. That passenger was Valus, the spirit that had been sealed within Excalibur, and as such when he had made contact with the blade had saved his life. Steiner over the course of his first month in Karakura would meet some interesting individuals, not only fighting people such as Youma, but also making friends with people such as Ants, and when he successfully climbed the mountain metting Cirno for the first time. As such he learned a great deal and began to grow as a fighter and as a person. However, it became frustrating for Steiner that he remained powerless until his fight with the arrancar, Murai, and her skeletons.

It was during that voice that Valus began to speak and helped guide him to awakening his powers for the first time. It was then that Steiner knew his journey to becoming a hero was about to begin.

Lava Surge
Description: By placing his hands on the ground, Steiner can channel the raw, and unbridled power of the earth's molten core. This technique requires a great deal of focus and energy and upon use cracks the earth in front of him, from this crack comes a giant wave of lava that comes at the foe. The speed of the wave, naturally slow, is enhanced by Steiner's own Soul Force, allowing it move faster. The wave, several hundred feet tall, and several hundred feet wide continues to move forward and will not change direction. Anything that comes in contact with the wave will be either melted or burned to a crisp (inanimate objects and innocent people included). However those with a high resistance to heat or enough pain tolerance can lessen the effects. The damage will still be high, but in those situations the attack's more negative features can be lessened to completely ignored. Due to the slow nature of this attack though, the wave is dodge able, and can be instantly stopped by rapidly cooling the magma until it becomes nothing more than solid rock.

Also, once Steiner removes his hands from the ground the wave will begin to subside, losing size, and speed. However, as stated before anything that touches it will be melted or instantly burnt to a crisp unless the enemy has a high enough pain tolerance or a high heat resistance.. This move requires a great deal of energy and can not be used more than once per combat.

Cauterize Wound
Description: By using a bit of super heated air, Steiner can seal wounds, and stop himself from bleeding. Strenuous movement at the location of the sealed wound can cause it to reopen though.

Tranquil Blade Art: Mirage grève
Description: By super heating the air around himself, Steiner can create a momentary double of himself using the water in the air to create an after image. Once the image is created, Steiner attacks from the side, launching a quick slash while the momentary surprise is his. This technique can also be used to dodge attacks and then used to promptly create a counter attack where Steiner can launch any of his techniques from.

Tranquil Blade Art: Slash chauffée
Description: Steiner may not fully understand his Ziamichi powers yet, but Steiner can super heat his blade if need be by channeling the powers of the earth's core.He must be standing on the ground to use this effect. This technique is little more than a slash using the super heated metal of Excalibur to cut through his opponent's limbs. Instantly cauterizing the wound and negating regeneration effects.

Novice Temperature Control
Description: Steiner has the ability to control temperature at a minor level. As such he can lower his own body temperature to avoid detection through heat and can raise his temperature to sweat out impurities. At the same time he can also heat up objects by touching them, making them searing hot, and burning foes who come into contact with them. This includes his sword Excalibur.

» Forms: None as of yet as Valus has stated that Steiner isn't ready to walk down that path.

» Drawbacks: While Valus has a high amount of energy available to give Steiner, Valus' powers effects on Steiner however are just exhausting. He can only use the powers for short periods of time as his body is still adjusting to having access to his own powers, let alone having access to Valus' powers.

» Control: 4 (For now Steiner and Valus are in an uneasy relationship. Not to say that the control can't improve over time as Valus does want to help Steiner, but is not sure Steiner would know how to use his powers if he needed to.)

Inventory:

Custom Iramasha Gem
Name: Clear Spirit
Type: Other
User Type: Character Exclusive

Appearance: The Gem of Clear Spirit is a gem that is aqua blue in color. The reason for this is that it resonated strongly with the color of Steiner's spirit. Hence, for that simple enough reason, the material which compromised this gem attuned itself to that rich shade and reflected it upon it's design.

Background Info: The purpose behind this gem is to otherwise lend an extension of Steiner's heart to the world around them. After searching within his spirit, there was a desire which was found that held the ambition to connect with others. After latching on to this feeling of yearning, the Faith Stone which was created by Steiner's spirit embodied those sensations into a tangible force of power. Hence, below, you will see how this gem is used with it's abilities.

Effects: The effects that The Gem Of Clear Spirit induces is stated as below:

Holy Sight: Holy Sight is the ability which allows this gem to bridge a connection to the heart and minds of those around Steiner. Trace amounts of angelic energy are released from the gem to the vicinity around him. This can extend to a range of one thousand meters. In this vicinity, Steiner would be able to mend connections to those in the environment around him.

From there, they must accept his call and open their hearts to them in order to forge a line of communication with him. This can be established with a simple telepathic request. Once that request is done, and they accept, Steiner can then begin to open up and understand the person he bonded with them. Of course, what they open up to him will be of the characters decision, but this is meant to be a means in which to deeper understand other spirits.

Additionally, a secondary effect that this ability has is that it can detect malicious auras. That is, a will with great destructive and murderous intent would be able to be sensed. However, this doesn't equate to mind-reading or anything like that. The character in question would have to be causing a major havoc of some kind in order for it to activate.

So, for instance, Steiner could possibly awaken to a sixth sense if there was a huge force of demonic energy that was destroying and killing the lives of many innocent people. However, if a demon was in front of him, and they weren't giving off obvious signals, then this ability would be as effective. It could gauge their body language and analyze the unsteadiness of their spiritual aura to give him hints of what the character's intent may be; but it isn't definite or guaranteed to be true.

Celestial Aura: This is the second power that the Gem of Clear Spirit has. Although she does not have the ability to grant souls the power to view into the future, the next best thing that Cirno could provide was this protective energy. As, sealed within this Faith Stone is a high volume of holy energy. Enough to be comparable to 1-1 character.

Therefore, with this high potency forged is a gem which has high durability and attack power. Thus, when Steiner is marked as being within danger, this gem will activate. However, it will only do so if he is staying true to his call of heroic nature and attempting to spread light, good and righteousness in the world. If he fails to uphold that, then the gem will not activate this feature and it will let him fend for himself.

With that said, the defenses of this gem could be comparable to a master level hierro and a master level kido. So, for a point of reference, it is often used to form a type of shield around Steiner in order to shield him from higher level attacks that can even range upwards of 0 tier level. However, like any shield, it will wear down after enough abuse. Thus it isn't infinite, but it can stand a fair bit of abuse.

This shield can be used in many ways as well. It can form wisp of light that protect Steiner, or it can form spheres of light around his body that serve as barriers. It can also have projectiles forge from his body in order to dispel and shield attacks with malicious intent against Steiner. As, those akin to demon, arrancar or any being with negative energy will find the effectiveness of their attacks reduced as followed:

DEFENSE RATE

0 Tier Purification Defenses: Celestial Aura can dispel up to ten to twenty percent of a 0 tier's negative energy.

1 Tier Purification Defenses: Celestial Aura can dispel up to thirty percent of a 1 tier's negative energy.

2 Tier Purification Defenses: Celestial Aura can dispel up to forty percent of a 2 tier's negative energy.

3 Tier Purification Defenses: Celestial Aura can dispel up to eighty percent of a 3 tier's negative energy.

4 Tier Purification Defenses: Celestial Aura can dispel up to ninety percent of a 4 tier's negative energy.

5 & 6 Tier Purification Defenses: Celestial Aura can dispel up to one hundred percent of a 5 and 6 tier's negative energy

With that said, there does come a limit. And that limit comes in the form of this ability only being able to be used for two actions a post. Additionally, each energy steadily drains it's power. And, once it is drained, it will not return until it is refueled by an external source of energy or at the start of the next thread Steiner is in.

Item Name: Excalibur, Awoken
Item Type: Sword, Steiner Exclusive
Used For: Offense, Defense, and Self-Support
Item Description: The legends of ancient and powerful blades sealed in stones has been passed down for generations. Excalibur is such a blade that has legends of a great king in medeval times finding the sword and plucking it from its' stone prison to become the next king of England. That legend however is a false-hood as Excalibur really was found by Steiner Franz and claimed the legend for himself. The blade itself, once rusted, and decrepit has seemingly been restored to its' original form by the powers coursing inside of Steiner. The blade is simple enough, made from a mysterious metal that makes it highly durable, and lightweight. It has two handle guards made for defending the hand and hilt for the sword, the tip of the blade is slightly serrated to cause serrated cuts on opponents to cause wounds to heal improperly. While Steiner holds the blade in his hands he feels more confident about his abilities and even more so, to a certain degree, feels more competent overall as a warrior.

This is due in fact to the nature of the blade, as it is a link to the soul of Valus, and as such allows Valus to soothe the fears and doubts in Steiner's mind, allowing Steiner to enter into a sort of battle trance. The trance allows for heightened combat awareness, which entails being able to read opponent's moves, and positioning to better defend himself. Likewise the bond between Steiner and Valus is heightened while the blade is in Steiner's possession, allowing for Valus to grant Steiner more of his own natural energies to enhance the physical tool set that Steiner has at his disposal: Speed, Strength, Reflexes, and Endurance. This evens out the playing field for a man who has barely studied the art of swordsmanship and is just beginning his journey into the world of angels and demons.
