Backstory~
Steamtrain was the first ever living mutant conducted by the malicious anonymous scientists, he was meant to become an animal soldier, specifically to be placed on the front line as a leader, but during his mutation, his bones became horribly elongated and weak, making him unable to learn how to fight.
Disappointed with their failure, the scientists shipped Streamtrain away to a huge radioactive wasteland, otherwise known as "No-Man's Land" (this is the area where all failed mutants go), so they did not have to deal with him. Not able to defend himself, Steamtrain was as good as dead. At least, he would have been if he hadn't come across Dreamstealer, a night coloured dragon-like entity who took the then helpless creature under her wing. Her non violent nature comforted Steamtrain, despite her ghoulish appearance.
With Dreamstealer as his temporary protector, Steamtrain took to learning all he could about witchcraft and dark magic from the many abandoned libraries in "No-Man's Land". Seeing as he had no chance in learning how to physically fight without horribly injuring himself.
After over a year of dedication, Steamtrain had become the holder of powerful dark magic and obtained a tainted reputation for himself among the other mutants. His controlling behavior and need for power leading him to kill whoever challenged him. Dreamstealer still considers him a friend, or even as her son, but contrasts his lack of empathy with her motherly personality. This often angers Steamtrain, but he would never dream of hurting or lashing out at her after all she's done for him.
He now owns a large circus theme park on the outskirts of a small town in the radioactive land, near the huge mansion where he, Dreamstealer, and a select few of other (mainly feline) failed mutants such as Phantom, Grimsmile, Silvergear etc, now reside. He is the ringmaster figure of his adopted 'family', his manipulative tendencies, although more mild, not stopping at them.
Steamtrain is a good, although very narcissistic, leader. Manipulating others to do his bidding. He does care about Dreamstealer and his new, non related family, but almost never shows it as he believes that compassion and kindness will be taken as a weakness. Thus, fueling his lack of empathy for others, especially enemies and strangers.

Good question, I don't really think about things like height much but I planned for him to be around 2 metres tall. I don't keep track when I really should.

This is my favourite character of yours. I'm not sure why, there's something just wonderful about him. Maybe it's his spiffing hat.

hmmmm, sounds very interesting.
but what if one the "family" doesn't back down?
ah so if one of the others was getting the shit kicked out of them by another random mutant he'd step in or something?

ah, oh well I'm sure it'll make sense in the end XD it just means the viewers have to figure it out for themselves hehe
thought he was Well that's good no physical abuse then. So if it's just fear and intimidation, how does he do that, e.g. (raising his cane as though to hit them but never does, or since he's the tallest back them into a corner and make them cower). sorry if all this seems a bit annoying XD
I'm just intreasted

He is a failed mutant so his body can be heavily distorted. He's learnt to 'mutate' at will, which is rare to do. He, (along with another character, Masquerade) contorts his face to be more visually frightening. Like a scare tactic. He's also quite aggressive and tends to be an ass.
Since he is the tallest, he does use this to his advantage. Intimidation is something he's good at. Basically, he's generally not a nice person. But he does protect the others when necessary.

I have been following your work for a while and it seems very interesting, I do have a few questions, such as the story, is it going to be a book, comic or anime?
on the other note, I remember reading somewhere that Steamtrain is a bit sadistic, does this mean he will go out of his way to hurt someone?
I love your work it is awesome XD

Hello and thank you! I don't plan on doing much with the story apart from just adding to it little by little in art and videos, as I don't have the motivation or experience to start a big project.
But I don't know what the future may hold so it might be a possibility.
Steamtrain is a bit of a sadist, yes. He doesn't hurt his 'family' (my other characters that live with him) but he isn't afraid to control others and even them by fear and intimidation. He will go out of his way to hurt those he dislikes strongly.
Thank you for being so interested. ^^

Aw, that's kind of unfortunate. Your art is really impressive, and I can see huge potential to start a big project with all the OCs that you've made.
Sorry if I made you feel 'Guilty' by saying that I wished that you'd start a comic/series.

how would imagine Steamtrain's theme if he had one? (i am thinking somewhere along the lines of carnival music)

Clockwork--Raven In reply to Drake-Astley [2017-03-22 03:32:28 +0000 UTC]
I'd imagine "Greatest Show Unearthed" by Creature Feature and "Everyday" by Bo en. Just the instrumental of the latter song alone suits him perfectly.

Yes, he is. He uses it as a way to make others believe he has authority over them, seeing as he is the only one in No-Man's Land that knows how to use it.
