Physical description:
He stands at around 6 feet tall, a man made from bolted steel plates shaped into a human form. His face is a complex sheet of metal plates which can shift around to show emotions, with eyeholes that show the fire animating his metal body within. Atop his head a mohican of fibreglass moves around stiffly, lit up red by the fires within him. His singing voice is deep and aggressive with a deep metallic twang to it and occasionally, jets of steam are fired out at an angle behind him from vents that replace his ears. Over his metal body he wears a stylishly made black leather jacket with holes in that allow the sharp studs on his shoulders to poke through the top. Underneath that, a white vest and his lower body covered by a pair of thick leather trousers wrapped in chains. A huge pair of hob nailed boots adorn his feet and thankfully stop the sound of metal on cement whenever he walks.
At every movement, the sound of steam pistons can be heard at varying pitches. Slung over his back is a battered old gibson electric guitar, black with stylishly painted flames along its body.

Gentry went down to London
The Gentry went down to London, looking for a soul to steal
In A Bind An' Way Behind, He Was Willin' To Make A Deal
When He Came Across This Young Man, Pickin' On A Guitar, Playing It Hot
An' The Gentry Jumped On A Parking Stump, An' Said 'I'll Tell Ya What'
I Guess You Didn't Know It I'm A Guitar Player Too
And If You Care To Take A Dare I'll Make A Bet With You
Now You Play A Real Good Guitar Boy, But Give This Devil His Due
I'll Bet A Guitar Of Gold To Get Your Soul 'Cause I Think I’m Better Than You
The Boy Said My Name's Simon, It Might Be A Sin, I’ll Take Your Bet
You're Gonna Regret, I'm The Best I've Ever Been
Simon Risen Up Your Pick An' Play Your Guitar Hard
It's Hellish Here In London An' The Gentry Deals The Cards
Now If You Win You'll Get This Shiny Guitar Made Of Gold
But If You Loose The Gentry Gets Your Soul!
The Gentry Opened Up His Case And Said 'I'll End This Gig'
And Fire Flew From His Finger Tips As He Risened Up His Pick
He Strummed The Pick Across The Strings It Made An Evil Hiss
Then A Band Of Demons Joined In And It Sounded Something Like This!
When The Devil Finished Simon Said 'You're Pretty Good Ol' Son
I don't think i can beat you so i guess this battle's won'
Simon Bowed His Head Because He Knew That He'd Been Beat
And He fell straight down to the Ground At the Gentry's Feet
The Gentry Said 'You can try again if you think next time you'll beat.
but until that day your soul is mine, now isnt that just neat!'

Associations & Associates
Steampunk - Steam's one true love.
Morag MacGillivray - Steam's Bandmate and Best Friend, whom Steam has an eye for.
Deyanira - A cook from birmingham, whom Steam has an eye for.
Hoffman of the Verdant Sanctuary - A changeling who owns a Hostel for the abused. They have an 'agreement' when it comes to life choices and otherwise get on quite well in a... manly way.
Aria - Deyanira's meddling friend, whom Steam has an eye for.
Reeva - Barmaid in the Lost & Found, whom Steam has an eye for.
Rea - A 'Local Pikey' who he gets on 'Ok' with as long as she isnt being a 'Psycho-Bitch', whom Steam has an eye for.
Soldier XVII - Steampunks current minion, whom steam definatley doesnt have an eye for.
Carin - Fellow Summer Courtier, drinking buddy, and occasional argument partner. The two of them seem to have little in common, but Carin has publically said that with Steampunk at his back, he knows everything that strikes him will come from the front. It's unlikely Steampunk has an eye for him.
Brawlin' Bram - Another fellow Crimson Courtier, but Bram and Steam (or Abe and Simon at least) seem to know each other from different lives from many, many years ago. Steampunk doesn't have an eye for Bram, although he did write him a rather superb theme song.

Quotes
- "What are you, Retarded? I'm the Goddamn Batman!" - Steampunk, on being asked who he was after his first gig.
- "He had the decency to give "Paint it Black" the effort it deserves. Anyone who levvies some respect for the Stones is alright. Next time i'll have to place the beer a little farther away." - Witte Wieven
- "Not my usual style of music, but he plays well and puts his heart into what he sings, I cannot ask better than that." - Graceful Aline
- "An iron punk and an iron knight, can there be a better team? I look forward to the day we ride into battle together." - Aleksander Sokol
- "You may not think it is my kind of music, and I admit it is not the sort I usually listen to. It is my kind of music because it is where he keeps his soul." - Cormac the Poet

- "Cheer up, frowny! And no burninating!" - Reeva
- "You, demon, can keep your blasphemies to yourself! For when the Lord cometh, he shall wash away all sins as the rain, and drown all wretched sinners as the flood. In the coming tide, you, creature, will rust and drown..." - The Reverend Marsh
- "They say when you have a theme stick with it, and Steam certainly has a theme." - Orpheus Bane

- "I wish he'd stop letting those damn jerries in Spring and Winter see his weakness, its not fiting for a senior officer" Soldier XVII
- "I find myself liking the Summer King of Inverness more each time I meet him... But I can't tell how he feels on the matter..." Magellan

<Hoffman> "What does this creature think?" (holding up a spider)
