Dangerous Characters: Dr. Stein

While this guy's definitely a little more contemporary in comparison to our other initiates, this guy is no less dangerous. Anyone who's seen the show Soul Eater, produced by Bones, should already know he's got his share of issues, and he doesn't even need a weapon to be scary. Pair him off with the Grim Reaper's personal Death Scythe, (who is actually a character by the way) and you've got yourself a death wish...    (hehe...  I couldn't resist ^^). So let's give it up for the mad doctor himself, the one and only, Dr. Franken Stein.

As a result of his motif being an amalgamation of both the monster and the scientist from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", Dr Stein specializes in attacks that resemble electricity, and he has this intense fascination with examining and experimenting with...  live specimens, but that isn't is only characteristic by a long shot. In fact one of his most defining characteristics is that even though he's on the side of the Soul Reapers, (these guys are the protagonists and therefore considered good), he harbors a dark side that if allowed to come out, can drive him totally insane. Throughout most of the show, he's a teacher at the Death Weapon Meister Academy (though even then, it's a bit sketchy just how safe you are around his laboratory), however, for a brief period, when the madness overtakes him, he becomes an adversary. When that happens, that's when the gloves come off, as not only is he really creepy to begin with, but his mastery of martial weapons and hand to hand combat quickly cause things to start dissolving into mayhem. So if for some reason, you find yourself near Death City, steer clear of this guy's lab, unless you want to wake up the next morning and find a couple of suture sights you didn't have before. Just ask Spirit, he's got a record.
