[color=orange][u]In Depth Appearance:[/u][/color]

Clocking in at a hearty 6'1 and 185 pounds, Hansel is your typically tall young German man, complete with piercing blue eyes full of creative light, and blonde hair that wouldn't look out of place upon a son of Apollo. Due to years of learning to work a forge from a young age, his arms and back are corded and powerful, sinew easily visible in the forearms as testament to years of work and indicative of monstruous grip strength. He may not lift, but he's certainly no weakling. His facial features toe the line between handsome and rugged, with a square jaw and light dusting of beard to accentuate it and indicate roughly how many days it's been since he last remembered to step away from projects and studies and do the "shaving" part of personal hygiene. Expression has two extremes most of the time: classically Teutonic stoicism, and raving enthusiasm as his eyes drink up the light of something on fire.

[color=orange][u]Clothing Style:[/u][/color]

Simple and practical on most days, prefers coats in the winter. Owns a Gas Mask and a flame-retardant combat uniform. Used more rarely than you'd think, less rarely than you'd hope. Same goes for his self-made set of Gothic Plate, which can often be found cheekily disguised as a sleeveless undershirt, puppy slippers, and cozy sleeping pants.

[color=orange][u]Personality:[/u]
[center][u]♦ Proud ♦ Well-Meaning ♦ Inventive ♦ Enthusiastic[/u][/center][/color]

With a tall man oftentimes comes a tall glass of personality, and Hans is far from an exception to the rule. Naturally willing to learn and interested in some more eccentric things, who he is stands out almost as much as his perpetually angry-sounding accent. A friendly man, he's always willing to listen or speak, even if it's something he doesn't quite get. However, that friendliness isn't to say he'll roll over if you step to him wrong. Iron-willed as any good young man, he adamantly sticks to his ways will gladly stand up for them, staring anyone down before promptly wrestling them to the ground or engaging in a gallant swordfight. At his heart, Hansel is but an eager creator, loving nothing more than to make things he finds cool and put them to the test. However, despite how humble these desires are, the man himself is proud, both of his own handmade creations and his homeland and heritage. Hansel is here to represent Himself, His Father, and His Fatherland, and he intends to do it the only way he knows how: Making Awesome Stuff.

[color=orange][u]Background:[/u][/color]
Born and raised in an unnamed German town that was likely once the coziest little village one came across in the Holy Roman Empire,  Hansel was from a young age raised by a single mother, an eccentric yet excellent uncle, and two doting grandparents with visits from his Father from time to time, usually during special occasions (at least once a year, and most birthdays). Having accepted the reasoning behind his usual absence as "important business trips", Hans promptly looked to his mother's elder brother to shape him growing up, and found within that man everything cool in the world. Smithing, tales of Knights, Historical European Martial Arts, military engineering... you name it, that uncle knew about it and taught him about it, as long hours spent in the shop after school flew by, turning into days, weeks, months, and years. And while these interests may seem strange to most, every time that Dad of his popped up and Hansel showed off his latest sketch or project, he was met with a beam of pride, a word of praise, and best of all, a sentence of critique. He had so much learning to do!

Fast forward to the age of 18, when Hansel finally decided to put some thought into his situation, and asked about his father. Surprise surprise, he's only the God of Smiths and Fire, nothing too big. Oh, and you're also moving to America to go to some college called Olympus Academy. Have fun, and don't forget your toothbrush!

Yeah, there was an adjustment period involved.

[color=orange][u]Relationship With Godly Parent:[/u][/color]
Cordial and mutually supportive and understanding. Has essentially no issues with Dad, considering his consistent, if necessarily sparse, role as a mentor and thorough explanation of his responsibilities as, you know, a God. Keeps up with him fairly regularly compared to some of his peers, typically through writing and bouncing wild ideas off of one another.

[color=orange][u]Godly Abilities:[/u][/color]

[color=orange][i]Teutonic Efficiency:[/i][/color] After learning to uncork the mastery of craftsmanship locked inside his Vulcanic genetics, Hansel is a natural smith and engineer that can find ways to produce a wide variety of weapons, gadgets, and vehicles in ways and with materials that, really, shouldn't normally work.

[color=orange][i]Kriegsmesser:[/i][/color] Can in addition give said creations "disguises", allowing them to transform into objects of much more pedestrian utility than what they typically end up being. A longsword can become a kitchen knife, a lance a ballpoint pen, a flamethrower guitar a regular guitar. Things like that.

[color=orange][i]The Crucible:[/i][/color] In accordance with his father's domains, Hansel can in a pinch use any contained source or generator of heat for smelting. This does not include human bodies.
