Steven to Hyper Jan, after Hyper Jan sees through Steven's possessed disguise

**Steven Krane** (20 January 1957 – 17 September 2002) was an American businessman, publisher, novelist, director, entertainer, presenter, and interviewer. At the age of 30, he loved a woman called Marita von Kalmar. When he was 35, he murdered Marita's boyfriend at the time, Jan Olsen Froshaug, and lied to her saying it was a "suicide". In 1993, he married Marita and had a child (Christopher Froshaug Kalmar) with her in 1998. However, from 1998 to 2002, he abused and tormented Marita, becoming her worst nightmare. In 2002, Steven drank some coffee concocted by Marita. It was a regular coffee, but with some cyanide in it. He died a few hours later.

## Concept and Creation

Cheeseball123 had created Jan Olsen Froshaug as a canonical character to *Bob Story* and, after learning about the similarity between families dynamic in *Romeo and Juliet*, Cheeseball123 wanted to create a character similar to Jan, that would rival him.

The line in *Romeo and Juliet*'s prologue, the sentence "two households, both alike in dignity" stood out to him. It formed an image of two, similar entities in conflict with each other until only one stands, but they "bury their [...] strife" and come to terms with each other. This idea was then morphed into Steven and Jan, two people that are similar to each other and, because of this, rival each other for Marita's heart until one falls.

In January 2022, ideas for Steven were made. Some ideas that became canon to Bob Story were:

* Steven can possess people.
* Steven will have 100% control over the host no matter what.
* He has the power of flight, can reach incredible speeds, fire lasers out of his hand and teleport.
* Steven's Bob Story victim is Bob Bobby I's dead body, his first and only host.
* Steven seeks only one thing, forgiveness from Jan Olsen Froshaug

Other ideas that were rejected were:

* He'd have the exact same possession method, control rate, powers, multiple hosts and behavior as Jan, but that was considered too infringing on Jan's identity.
* Steven's only goal was to kill Jan, but that was considered to be a not redeemable characteristic.

Steven's name went was chosen as a modification of the name "Steffen Kragh".

The name Steven Krane was chosen as an homage to Sonic the Comic, as Steffen Kragh is the actual real life name for the C.E.O. of the Egmont Group (The company that used to produce *Sonic the Comic* (A British comic series which Fleetway Super Sonic first appeared in).

## Appearance

Steven's human form is a white, Caucasian stickman. Nothing special. When possessing someone, he will take the appearance of, said, possessed individual. His attire consists of 2000's casual wear.

## Personality

Steven was once a good person and acts based on logic and reasoning. He opposed *all* evil and fought relentlessly against it. He was honest and a man of his word, who helped those in need and spoke out against injustice. However, this was just a metaphorical "mask" over his true personality. Ever since Steven had a child with Marita von Kalmar, he became and abusive man, who physically, emotionally and sexually abused Marita for 4 years. He threatens and intimidates Marita. He rapes and sexually assault Marita too.

His favorite food is flaxseed because of the healthy fat, antioxidants, and fiber in flaxseed. He also loves it for his protein. He also really enjoys Marita's presence because it "gives him an opportunity to cause torment". However, Steven used to dislike Jan Olsen Froshaug. He despised his rivalry with him and and his love for Marita, but when Steven killed Jan, that all changed. Steven could finally have Marita all for himself...

After Marita poisoned Steven in 2002, Steven sees that he's been driven insane by his and Jan's rivalry for Marita's love, and, because of this, when the rivalry ended with Jan's murder, Steven went insane. Now as a spirit, he wandered the world to find Jan, and gain his forgiveness.

## Powers and Abilities

Steven, in his human form, had no powers at all, he was just a regular ~~human being~~ stickman. When in his unforgivable spirit form, he gains the power to possess people by entering their throat and maneuvering towards their brain. Once the victim is possessed, Steven will have full control over their body and Steven will them search for Jan for forgiveness.

#### Equipment

Steven uses a SIG Pro Pistol to invoke fear into Marita von Kalmar to keep manipulating her.

### *The Origins of Jan Olsen Froshaug*

Steven met the beautiful Marita von Kalmar in 1987. In 1990, Jan managed to score a date with Marita. This made Steven jealous and so, in April 1, 1992, Steven Krane murdered Jan. After the murder, Steven lied to Marita, stating that Jan committed suicide.

In 1993, Steven married Marita. In 1998, Steven and Marita have a child, Christopher Froshaug Kalmar. After the birth of Christopher, he became an abusive man, turning his house into a miniature police state. In 2002, he drinks a coffee prepared by Marita that contains cyanide. A few hours later, Steven dies from cyanide poisoning.

### *Bob Story: Book 2*

Steven had been wandering the world trying to seek forgiveness from Jan Olsen Froshaug. One day, he possesses the Bob Bobby I, making him into his first and only host. Steven instantly flew over to Past Alien King's death laser, thinking Jan would be there (considering his destructive behavior). However, the death laser fires unexpectedly (due to Jan pressing the activation button) and Steven mirrors back the death laser, causing it to explode. Steven then battles Alien King (who's body is being possessed by Jan Olsen Froshaug) with Writer 2 in *The Battle of the Stars*. Steven then witnesses Jan turning hyper and punching Writer 2 into Earth at light-speed. Then he and Jan fight one last time in a 1v1. Steven managed to convince Jan to stand down because he has something to show him before Jan kills him. Steven teleports them both to Oakland Cemetery, CA, USA. There, they possess a (badly-drawn) Springtrap and reconcile with Marita von Kalmar. After reconciliation, Steven's spirit returns to its normal self, having achieved forgiveness and ascends into the afterlife.
