## Summary

**Joel Neufeld** is a Major Antagonist from *Omen Metal*. He is archnemeses with **Lewis Wallace**, and attends the same school he does, where he picked up a reputation for bullying. He was born in **Stralschied**, in the Germany-equivalent country of **Zeshar**.

## History

At some point, Joel dedicated his life to becoming a pirate. At some point, he joined the same school Lewis and **Siara Stone** did, where he and Lewis became archenemies.

## Plot

Joel goes to the same **Toy Warzone** that Lewis does, for the same purpose as him: To hone his abilities. They have a somewhat lengthy battle that goes from an open area to the inside of a play building to the top. Lewis saves Joel from falling to his death, but Joel punches Lewis in the face, aiming to punch him off the play building, right as the facility begins to close. Joel and Lewis go their seperate ways right after.

## Personality

Joel is arrogant, cruel and underhanded, taking full advantage of the enviroment even to dangerous levels. He has a love for pirates to contrast Lewis' love for cowboys, and constantly taunts Lewis over anything he can. Joel is very confident in his abilities, and he repays kindness with cruelty.

## Appearance

Joel is a somewhat thin male of average height for his age. He has light blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a very light complexion.

He wears a black pirate coat with gold buttons, as well as a black bowtie, swash, belts and pants that also have gold buttons. He has white gloves, a white undershirt that has sleeves that extend from under the coat's sleeves, and cuffed, black leather boots. His outfit, in many ways, is not dissimilar to **Aubax**'s.

## Powers and Abilities

**Human Physiology:** Joel is a **Human**, and thus should have all the abilities that most humans have.

* **Enhanced Speed:** Joel, like most humans, is fast enough to move and react at the speed of **Darts**, deflecting a good number of them with his **Toy Hanger** consistently, and dodging many more.

**Swordsman:** Joel seems skilled with a sword, able to quickly come close to overwhelming Lewis with it.

**Gunman:** Joel seems skilled with a gun, matching Lewis in this regard even though Lewis had two more guns and twelve more bullets than Joel.

**Dirty Fighter:** Joel takes advantage of absolutely everything in a fight.

## Weaknesses

**Human Physiology:** Joel is a human, and thus should have all the weaknesses that most humans have.

* **Normal Healing Factor:** Joel heals at the same rate as most humans, and thus would die even from so much as falling from a decent height.

**Reputation Issues:** As Joel is likely hated by most people in the school, he is unlikely to have any aid.

## Equipment

It is unknown what equipment Joel has, as the only equipment he is shown to use does not belong to him.

## Relationships

**Lewis Wallace:** Joel seems to consider Lewis his archenemy and rival, and enjoys taunting him, hurting him and overall causing him misery. Joel likely bullies him like he does everyone else.
