Steel

* Current Outfit
* Wedding Dress

Steel, also known as God amongst the mortal inhabitants, is the leader of their own religion, the Order of the Crypt. They are well known for their mysterious, quiet nature, and their reclusive habits.

## Appearance

Steel is an anthropomorphic skeleton vaguely resembling some type of unknown reptilian. Assorted plant life grows over their body in the form of green vines, the most important greenery being the Lily of the Valley flower upon their head. They do not have organs of any kind, nor much of what counts as "skin" to the everyday human. Rather they are kept "alive" by a dark force puppeteering the skeleton which can be argued to be Steel, who is just using the skeleton as a physical vessel. This darkness bleeds out from the bones when they are broken/cracked, and acts as a magical substitute for blood to the god.

## Personality

Steel by all accounts can be described as quiet, to the point of oddity. Their mysterious nature of keeping things to themselves often leads to much speculation about their true motives and what ultimate end goal they may be planning for in the future. They rarely divulge important details about themselves, usually reserving that for allies who they trust. The times where they haven't been so mysterious, Steel has been solemn and serious, if not a little bit melodramatic and sarcastic. They rarely speak up, even if they don't like something that’s been said or done, and in this way they become quite the doormat for a supposed god. The rare times when they do voice an issue with a viewpoint, they make it quite clear what is on their mind.

However unassuming Steel is, there still exists a hidden side that even they do not fully understand the depth and severity of. Something truly sinister, sitting in wait beneath the still, calm surface of a placid personality. However, this side has been heavily repressed by Steel both consciously and subconsciously, so it hasn't had much of an opportunity to shine. There can only be hope that it never does.

## Backstory

Steel cannot remember even much of their own past, before their first "Unawakening". All they vaguely remember is being praised as a god of the Overworld and its plentiful bounties, as well as ruler of the horrible things that lie within its land. Their great "Unawakening" arrived in the form of what they believe to be some form of great natural disaster many, many centuries ago, wiping out a large majority of Steels followers and putting the god themself in a coma-like state for a long time. However, Steels memory is fuzzy, and they are afraid of what the reality of the event might have been. Their "modern" memories began when they woke up from their deep sleep after the stone that had previously encased them had corroded away, to the point that they were exposed to open air again. Since then they have chosen to be a bystander to the flow of time, as a watcher rather than an active participant.

## Plot

Steel attended the meeting where the contract between Phrog Church and Berryburg was signed, though the god chose not to put their two cents in, as they felt it didnt concern them and they shouldb't interfere in the affairs of other governing powers.

At one point, Steel grew too wary of Phrog Church to simply stand by idly anymore. They left a vague warning by Phrog Church with a Crypt Shrine and the flag of the Order Of The Crypt, as well as delivering another flag to Berryburg shortly after as a sign of friendship between the god and the citizens of the town. So far, Steel has not been back to either location and so is unaware of the status of the flags and shrine.

Steel was invited to officiate the wedding between Wren and Laura, and they accepted. However, after the unfortunate murder of Damien, Steel decided to retreat to the darkness of the Crypt to give themselves some time to think about mortality and the current situation.

## Relationships

### Blue

Steel doesn't have much of an opinion on Blue, since they haven't had much time to interact individually. Steel appreciates Blues literacy and eloquent wording, but their outlook on him is soured by the fact that he is a member of the Phrog Church, and also how Pluto, the person Steel is closest to, distrusts him so heavily.

### Damien

Steel has a somewhat neutral, though distrustful opinion on Damien at the moment. They think of him as loyal and trusting, perhaps to a fault of his own. They have seen his sheer dedication to his religion, which is why Steel hesitates and often intentionally limits themself in interacting and confiding with him.

### Eryn

If asked who was their main enemy out of all the people on the server, Steel would probably say Eryn. The god sees Phrog Church and the Phrogssiah herself as direct competition for followers, and since they have already been vastly weakened by the death of the majority of the Crypts followers and the Phrog Church's aggressive expansion, they're slowly getting more hostile and desperate to keep their religion, and their life in turn, afloat.

### Lily

As much as Lily views Steel as a role model, Steel sees Lily as their protégé, someone to pass the knowledge gathered over many eons onto, and hopefully keep the religion of the Order Of The Crypt alive. Although the god has had many an eye roll over the young presidents behavior, they still would protect the girls life at any cost.

### Muffin

Steel has a neutral outlook on Muffin at the moment. They have traded with each other before, and Steel is a hesitant customer of Pearoot Inc., believing that their items are overpriced but still biting their tongue as often Pearoot has things that Steel cannot get elsewhere without a tremendous amount of effort.

### Pluto

Friendly, Steel considers Pluto an ally and perhaps the person closest to them in the land. The god extended a helping hand to her via supplies and a place to rest when she stumbled upon The Crypt where Steel resided, and since then they have at least been on friendly relations with each other.

### Toxic

Toxic is an ok individual, in Steels eyes. As Toxic is one of the few people to occasionally visit the labyrinth where Steel resides (and has made a secret home in its walls), Steel has at least more trust in him then with others who they have talked to less. Steels dislikes the business practices that Pearoot Inc. demonstrates, but just brushes it off as a means to an end.

### Wren

Wren is probably the person that Steel trusts most out of all the people of Phrog Church. From the gifts that Wren has given Steel to the short although pleasant talks they've had, Steel has considered Wren at least the most likely person of the Phrog religion that they'd make aqquaintances with. Steel wishes that they could get to know Wren more as an individual, outside of the foreboding presence of the Phrog Church.
