[i][color=d18e54]"You think you stand a chance against Eden Steel?!"[/color][/i][/center]

[b]NAME:[/b]
Joseph Johannes is his real name, and his stage name is Eden Steel


[b]AGE:[/b]
27


[b]GENDER:[/b]
Male


[b]BIRTHPLACE:[/b]
Hammerlocke


[b]GYM TYPE:[/b]
Steel

[b]APPEARANCE:[/b]
Sporting his favorite yellow jacket and blue jeans, Joseph stands in at "6'4, towering above most others. While the bright blonde hair and the height certainly make him stand out, nothing makes him stand out more than when he's in full costume for his TV superhero persona: Eden Steel.

Eden Steel bears both the sword and the shield, both made of gleaming steel with golden trims. The shield also bears an image of an Aggron. He also wears a set of full plate armor, made of similar shining steel and gold trim, yet on the breastplate lies the face of an Arcanine, roaring defiantly. His helmet covers most of his face, yet a "T" shaped gap in it allows him to see.

[b]PERSONALITY:[/b]
Joseph himself enjoys occasionally getting into character for his fans, but his real self is all about good sportsmanship, and fairness in everything. He's willing to fight however his opponent decides, singles, doubles, even no dynamaxing. He also has a bit of a knack for food, though he's found himself rambling on occasion. 

Eden Steel on the other hand is a vigilant warrior, who fights against all evil, and will do anything to keep the peace. He believes steel is the best type, and it will help him save the world.

[b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b]
Truth be told there isn't really a whole lot that was significant about Joseph's childhood, apart from a few things. For starters, his parents didn't come from Galar, they were from Johto, and they had moved here for work related reasons. As such, Joseph grew up with a Johto accent, rather than a Galarian one.

Secondly, as a child, Joseph's favorite thing growing up were Saturday morning cartoons. The hero in shining armor would always beat the villan, and the day would be saved. This would eventually shape the future of Joseph's entire life.

At just the age of 14 Joseph managed to score a few acting gigs here and there, constantly trying to improve himself. And eventually, one day, he found himself playing a minor character in a tv show. He wasn't always on screen, but he was finally on TV. It's what he had always wanted.

Unfortunately, due to budget cuts from higher up, the show was cut short. Deciding to take a break from acting, Joseph instead decided to travel Galar, building experience and gaining life skills. Eventually, Joseph decided that taking up a position as a trainer in a gym, would help him more, and at the age of 24, Joseph rose to the top, become a Steel type gym leader. He trained and trained, and was known for taking on any and all opponents, regardless of skill levels, eventually making several separate teams for just that.

But something still nagged at Joseph. His acting career. He felt unfulfilled in his dream, despite being in a successful station. With the earnings he made over a year of battling, Joseph decided to take acting classes, and soon, was making his own TV show. He couldn't just go as himself. He'd need a persona. A new name. Some sort of inspiration.

He spent week after week traveling the region looking for inspiration, before eventually, he came across the mural in Stow-on-Side. The sword, and the shield. That's it! He'd be a knight, in ancient times, wielding the sword and shield, defending against the forces of darkness with his dear pokemon. He would become... Eden Steel.

The show, called Man of Steel, would go on to moderate success at first, with the second season having much more. After the years however, Joseph decided he'd take a small break before season 3, looking for a little more inspiration before starting again. Although, for Joseph, or perhaps Eden, inspiration is just around the corner. With the sudden disappearance of Galar's champion, this may be just the thing he's looking for.

[b]RELATIONSHIPS:[/b]
None so far. He's been a little too preoccupied with his own life and his pokemon to have made many friends, but now that he's finally got some free time, he is looking forward to making some.
