Name: Steven Kaoru Freeling
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Backstory:
Steve was born to an American father of German descent and a Japanese mother who, despite being married, could often only be together over vacation because they held government office in their respective countries. As a result, he has often been passed around between the two. His father and mother gave him his first and middle name, respectively, feeling that, in this way, he would feel them both always with him. When Steve was four years old and living with his mother in Japan, his maternal grandmother, a bigot who hated his father, kidnapped him and took him to the cursed springs in Jusenkyo, China. There she attempted to drown him, thinking he couldn't swim. It not only turned out that Steve could in fact swim but that she had tried to drown him in the Spring of Drowned Girl. Steve's mother soon caught onto her own mother's scheme and had her arrested, coming to Jusenkyo personally in order to retrieve him herself, though upon her arrival, she was understandably stunned to find that her son had become her daughter. Steve was immediately relieved to find that he could change back with hot water. Regardless, he's had to deal with this curse ever since and it has not made his life easy, with people of both sexes either pursuing romantically or attempting to attack both his male and female halves. He's also managed to get into all manner of trouble, including angering drug lords and gangsters who wanted to subjugate his two neighborhoods when he wouldn't bow down to them. He goes by his first name while male and his middle name while female.
Personality:
Steve is tough, cocky, and stubborn; he won't go down without a fight and he refuses to wear a dress or a skirt while in girl form no matter what. He is also friendly, kind, and selfless; most who meet him like him and he will do whatever is necessary to help someone in need due to the fact that he does his best to be fair and he hates to see others mistreated. At the same time, he can be a little too honest; if he thinks someone is a horrible person, he'll call them out on it no matter who they are. He is also considerably brave though he suffers from a crippling fear of snakes to the point that he runs away at the very sight of one. Only friends, i.e. members of the Brigade can turn him into a girl and get away with it; he at least knows a friend is likely doing it either as a harmless prank or for his own safety rather than as a cheat to make him weaker.
Home fandom: Ranma ½
Powers/Skills:
Steve is very intelligent and speaks English, German, and Japanese fluently. His will is strong enough that attempts at mind control typically die right off the bat; illusion tactics usually suffer a similar fate since he is typically able to discern reality from fantasy. He is an expert swimmer and a fast runner. He can turn into a girl when doused with cold water and back into a boy when doused with hot water and he sometimes uses this to (reluctantly) hide from the most dangerous of enemies. He also possesses brute strength, though it is weakened when he turns into a girl. Fist fighting comes naturally to him though it is somewhat wild and sloppy due to his lack of martial arts training and he also has an accurate aim. He is a natural at steering vehicles of all kinds.
Items:
