Description
Name: Steam Guardian (At least, it's what she calls herself.)Age: 6.4 billion years old- although she only looks 20.
Gender: Female, if that wasn't obvious by her, ah, curves.
Sexual Preference: Very gay- well, pansexual, but she currently prefers females. She doesn't look it, causing many guys to fall for her, but she's got a girlfriend. Yes, her girlfriend is a plant, but that's none of your business. She has dated a man in the past, but after his tragedy, she gave up with love until meeting Flora.
D&D Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Best 3 traits: She's charismatic, intelligent and sarcastic. You really can't get much better than that.
Fun Facts:
Personality:
She refuses to believe in anything anyone else says unless she agrees with it, because she is CLEARLY right 100% of the time. This can be both positive and negative, however, because if she's completely wrong and doesn't know it, she won't have a clue. This has happened on multiple occasions, but of course she'd never tell anybody that. For instance, when her theory on the dinosaurs was wrong and even when she was staring at the meteors hitting the Earth she refused to believe that she was wrong about a volcanic eruption. She also refuses healing and help at times because she thinks that she can 'take care of it herself'. This was proven to be rather false when her head was cut off not once, but TWICE during an attempt to stop the French Revolution. She still refuses to accept the two scars around her neck to this day.
One of Steam's greatest abilities- to literally talk her way out of almost any situation. Maybe it's from years of talking, or maybe it's from years of having to blatantly lie to look good, who knows. All anyone does know is that she's an excellent fast talker. She can come up with a long and in depth story on the fly about how she is just a simple college student in a cosplay outfit headed to Los Angeles for Comic Con and that her gun is clearly fake and that she had nothing to do with the wealthy marijuana grower's death. ....Anyways, that's just a simple example, but she is still incredibly good at speaking. She can convince anyone to do literally anything as long as you give her enough time. Once before, she rallied a group of four injured soldiers to revolt against their boss- and they somehow succeeded. Her simple action actually saved plenty of lives in the future, or so she claims. The only real problem with this is that it's impossible to tell when she's lying. She'll stare you right in the eyes and tell you a blatant lie, and you'd never be able to guess that she's doing it. The only real tell is that if it's a really big one she'll look away for a moment, and she'll bite her lip. She's not someone who you want to be in a debate against, I'll tell you that.
She may not look it, but she is a genius. Some think that she just pretends to be smart, but in reality, she has an IQ hundreds higher than the world's smartest person in all of history. She, when she appeared to be only 10 (So what she was actually 2.8 billion? That's not the part that matters here), managed to build a portable time and dimension hopper with only her imagination. Of course, there may have been some godly intervention here, but that's still besides the point. Give her five minutes and leave her in a room with nothing but a wrench and a broken TV and she'll create the world's most advanced AI system. The problem with her insane intelligence, however, is that she doesn't care to hide it. Her ego is larger than the sun, and she enjoys telling people about how smart she is or how she has done more when she was two feet tall than some people have in their entire lives. She also has a tendency to talk about things from the future and forget that they haven't been invented yet, which has caused problems more than a few times. Once, she had to go back in time and clobber herself over the head with a lead pipe when she tried to tell Einstein that his theory was wrong and that energy is actually- Wait, did you actually think I was going to tell you about her discovery? No way.
This is NOT one of Steam's positive traits. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Steam... doesn't really know when to hold her tongue about the truth. Sometimes she can mask it with constructive criticism, but other times she cannot. Her charismatic character usually makes people assume that she'll be incredibly kind about this kind of thing, but in reality, no. Not in the slightest. She'll be brutally honest about pretty much anything. 'Hey Steam, does this dress make me look fat?' 'Yeah, you look like a pregnant pig.' ...Yes, she has said that before. The person told this would like to remain anonymous, but they are still rather unhappy. Another problem? She might not even say it that bluntly. How could that be worse, you wonder? Oh, it can be MUCH worse. 'Oh no, you look ABSOLUTELY fine, not at all fat or pig-like in the slightest. What? Of COURSE there wasn't any sarcasm involved in that statement - I have no idea what you're talking about.' Again, this dialogue also ensued. The anonymous person would still like to remain anonymous and is still even more mad about that one than the previous.
Despite her seemingly chaotic attitude, Steam is actually rather merciful. Yes, in certain timelines/dimensions she's slain millions, but I mean- that's besides the point. She hates killing anyone, even if it's a horrible person. If it's for the greater good, yes, she'll do it, but that doesn't mean she has to like it. She doesn't even really want to kill Dragon, her nemesis and the 'murderer' of her first and only friend that would've actually lived as long as she has. If you're wondering why murderer was in quotations, it's best you don't know because she doesn't exactly know why either. Don't ask. I mean, sure, she hates the guy, but that piece of her just doesn't want to do it. Anytime she's fighting someone, she can't bear to look them in the eyes because she knows that they'll be closed permanently in just mere moments. Dark? Maybe. Sad? Very. Hotel? Trivago. Not sponsored, by the way, it just fit rather nicely.
Magic Abilities and Weapon:
Of course Steam has magic, she wouldn't be a very good magical entity without it now would she? Her magic however is rather... Erm... Limited. Yes, as stated just moments before, she has some, but it's uncontrollable. Her magic is nothing but raw power, and it's a little unpredictable. So, basically, she can't control it. Magical occurrences just spontaneously happen, and she can't do much to stop it. Like, once in a blue moon, something will happen in her favor, but more frequently things go horribly wrong. More than once, she has become completely magnetized during a battle, causing metal weapons to fly at her from all angles. It really isn't very helpful. Every now and then she'll get a little burst of strength, but that's about it for good things. The only other good thing that's really ever come from her magic is her final form- and she's only gotten to that point once, and that was how she managed to contain Dragon within the void permanently.
Wrench? Yes, you heard right. Every hero gets their specific weapon that they can summon at will- and Steam's is, well, a wrench. Now, I know what you're thinking- what kind of idiot would choose, of all the things, a wrench? Not even like a sword or anything? Well, Steam's wrench has more to it than meets the eye. The edges of it can pierce through flesh easier than a knife, and she has quite the aim when she throws. She can throw it with laser precision, and with the electromagnets in her gloves, it'll fly right back to her when she raises her hand. Steam came up with the idea purely as a joke, and she thought it would be a rather comical way to die, but she didn't think it was very funny when suddenly her spirit weapon is literally a wrench. However, she planned accordingly and dressed to match.
PARKOUR! YEAH! One of Steam's hobbies is, oddly enough, parkour. She's incredibly swift and agile, despite her clunky appearance, and she loves to defy the laws of gravity. To be honest, she just loves defying the laws of science in general- and parkour is an excellent way to do so. Now, what does this have to do with weapons or magic? Nothing. Then why is it in the magic and weapon section? Because, indirectly, her parkour skills are a weapon. How? Simply because of her use of it in battle. She can be in a headlock and will arch her back and backflip, crashing down onto their back with a sickening SNAP- and it's not hers that snaps. Her ability to race upwards and backflip three times in the air, coming down into a judo roll, all without being wounded, has come to be a rather lethal weapon. You can't touch someone if they're three feet above you, now can you? Precisely the point. And you also can't really do anything when your opponent jumps off a building and somehow manages to remain intact simply because of a judo roll. See, defying the laws of physics really is fun.

Woot woot! Look at that! Steam is here and in the FLESH! I'm actually rather proud of that picture, despite the horrible attempt at boots and the wrench. I know I didn't add any shading except for on the goggles, but I swear it's not because I'm lazy! It's just because I thought that would be bad on the ref, but ehhhhh

This one isn’t like the big one, this Ref was mainly for the picture, the other ref that was all text was more for in depth detail
