Character: Dr. Franken Stein
Series: Soul Eater
Character's Age: old enough to be a teacher
Job: Zombie Repair Man

Canon: Soul Eater is the story of students attending a school run by Shinigami-sama to become the best little meisters (weapons technicians) and weapons they can be. It tends to center around this one group of kids who have to face evil, especially in the form of insanity which is symbolicly touching the world in bad places and slowly driving people crazy and toward the dark side without the lure of cookies. All of which is caused by the witches who happen to be the enemy, using their powers to try and revive the demon gods of chaos, or kishin.

Stein himself is a professor at the Shinigami Weapon Meister Vocational School and is a fairly quirky individual. Quite insane and knowing it, he is more than a bit fascinated by dissection and studying living things (including his own senpai at school). Though more of a passive personality, he can be a responsible adult at times, worrying about his charges and making sure that they can fight the baddies on their own. He is very straight to the point about things, often cutting out the fat of the issue and getting to the heart of the matter. Because of this and the fact that he's actually quite strong in his soul's wavelength, the aspect of a meister that bonds them to their weapon, Stein is one of Shinigami-sama's most trusted advisers. Especially in regards to the threat of chaos and insanity on the horizon.

Note: Stein is being taken prior to chapter 34 aka the Brew Tempest Arc.

So... a quick announcement for whoever thought that blowing up zombies was a fun pastime: your punishment is to be my... assistant whenever I deem it necessary. I could have thought of a position more humbling, but I figure this kind of title will be punishment enough and it is important that I have someone help me with the uglier side of my job. You can hold the parts together while I sew or something. If you have a problem with this, feel free to complain to Madam Sayre, but I have a letter right here, signed and everything.

Hello campers and possible test subjects, my name is Dr. Stein. I will be working here from now on as the Zombie Caretaker, among other tasks. My job is to first inform you all that zombies were once people, too; second, patch up the zombies that are missing more than a few limbs; and third, inform you that you are all doing it wrong. If you're going to destroy the undead, you have to do it with a bit more flare, and if you're just in it for the sadism... treat it like poisoning pigeons in the park on a sunny afternoon or something. More fun, and makes my job more enjoyable. On the other hand, from what I've been told on my trip here, some of you people have never seen zombies before arriving here, so of course there will be a lot of confusion on the matter. Let me give you a brief lesson right here and now.

See here, this is a zombie head. Yes, just the head. Yes, the zombie is still "alive". Note how it's still asking for brains--no, not mine, yours. And maybe it wants your arms and legs and torso as well. Why don't we ask Mr. Zombie? I also have behind me, a box full of zombie limbs. Feel free to pick one up... or let it pick you up, that's fine, too. Now this? This is a sad way to spend your time, scattering the bits everywhere via explosions and leaving them to rot more. There are far more interesting things to do with a perfectly good zombie. A zombie is essentially a corpse, so one has to ask how it moves. It's not like the tentacled monster or trees around here which seem to be the result of radiation from the lake, though I will be wanting to look a bit closer at dear Marcy, even with that restraining order still in place. So, how can we find out the answer?

Dissection is a sure-fire way to do it, but it's so hard to cut apart the rotting flesh when it's been blown to smithereens. I'm sure you can understand what I'm saying, right? Don't worry, I have my ways of fixing this problem. In fact, acting as my helper until I get my assistant, my healthy zombie over here can do something for me that will both help me with repairing its kin as well as answer my question. What better way to get in mind how a zombie should be structured? Oh, don't mind the gorilla, he's just there to make sure it can't back out of its obligations.

Now stay still while I borrow your body for a bit, Mr. Zombie. Don't worry, I'll only touch it a little before I give it back. ♥
