At a GlanceKlaus is an especially large person. His skin is a natural and very light tan, brought about due to his affinity for being outdoors in the sun. He has blue eyes and semi-long blonde hair, reaching down just past his neck. He is very muscular, exhibiting a build one can compare to that of a heavyweight boxer. He has well-defined face with a STRONG jawline and is typically seen stubble. His diet and intense amount of physical conditioning have left his bone structure steel-like and his musculature dense and well-toned. Running smack into him would be akin to running head on into a speeding train.
His attire typically consists of simple light sand-colored cargo pants or jeans and boots, though he also wears normal shoes as well. They are a bit baggy to help assist with mobility. His upper attire is fitted yet slightly loose as well. It does not hide his musculature well, but it's not something he’s concerned with. He wears a blue and white hoodie with silver markings that resemble the markings in his weapon form. Under that he wears a black shirt with similar markings or a band shirt. Sometimes he wears a dark blue beanie or large headphones.
✒—Fighting StyleTo sum things up, Klaus is a tank in nearly every sense of the word. He is best known for his sheer strength and endurance, low pain tolerance and high defensive capabilities (he can even take a STRONG kick to the groin without going down, though a second kick is probably enough to finish the job). He is able to withstand the brunt of his opponents’ attacks and often tries to outlast them, taking advantage of their fatigued state and finishing them off with a single STRONG blow. He prefers to maximize his endurance by deflecting attacks away from him, typically by simply pushing an incoming attack away to the sides and then countering with a STRONG attack.
Klaus can also present some variety in his fighting in that he may decide to take the offensive instead of remaining defensive and outlasting his opponent. He is rather well-versed in boxing with some elements of kick-boxing added in, primarily low to mid-level kicks. The addition of his partial form adds for some variability in his attacks and defenses. He likes to stay up close and personal with his opponents, as his range is rather limited considering he relies primarily on his fast and powerful fist work. If given the need, however, he can traverse distances in a straight line quite fast. This gives him the ability to act as a high speed battering ram.
Klaus is also a practitioner of Krav Maga, which is an aggressive yet defensive style of fighting that models itself off of several other forms of martial arts, though most people like to think of it as a refined and highly-practical form of street brawling. However, unlike traditional martial arts, it has no rules or limitations, so things as "cheap shots" do not exist. Krav Maga involves striking techniques, wrestling and grappling, and is mostly known for its extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks as this style emphasizes taking down the enemy as soon as possible. The user is also taught to be very spatially aware, always on the lookout for escape routes if he or she is outnumbered, as well as anything that could be useful for a weapon.
✒—PersonalityDespite his imposing figure, Klaus is rather shy and timid around strangers. However, he warms up quite fast to people he knows well, though still is rather quiet, preferring to be the conservative element in a group. His quietness leads others to question his intelligence, but in fact, he is very smart, sometimes giving insightful input concerning certain matters. To those he is familiar with, he is very lighthearted and jovial. He is also incredibly thick-skinned, making it next to impossible to get under his skin and annoy/anger him.
His quiet nature makes him perfect as a listener and cooperative in groups. He prefers to avoid conflict as much as he can. If he comes to a conflict between two other parties, he tries his best to mediate the problem to avoid a violent confrontation. However, that does not mean he isn't prepared to deal with violence should it arise.
Of course...Klaus isn't timid and docile to the point where nothing can anger him. In the extremely rare moment when Klaus actually becomes angry, there really isn't much stopping him from tearing apart whoever angered him along with whatever ground they're standing on and perhaps whatever structure they happen to be in. Of course, being the natural massive softy he is, he calms down really quickly, usually in a minute or two.

✒—Weapon Form:✒ Full Form: Klaus’ weapon form takes the form of a very large and ornate-looking shield. It is a two-toned blue and black color with silver trim. The bottom is pointy and sharp enough to be used to punch through things.
✒ Partial Form: Klaus' right arm can turn into a smaller version of his shield. The pointed end helps add a piercing element to his punches.
✒—Resonances:✒ None at the moment.

✒—Hobbies✒ Drummer: The first remotely musical instrument Klaus played around with as a young child was a drum set. Since then he’s practiced in his spare time to the point where he’s able to lay down a whole lot of sick beats. A heavy interest in progressive metal has allowed his drumming skills to increase even further, as he is now capable of playing the most complicated of rhythms. Whenever he is behind a drum set is perhaps the only time he sheds his normal timid persona, and loses himself in the rhythms.
✒ Guitar: Though not as good as his drumming skills, Klaus is still a pretty proficient player of the 7 and 8-string guitars. His large hands are more than enough to span the wide neck of these guitars. He prefers to use a Fractal Audio Axe FX II for hardware.
✒ All Manner of Mechanical Things: Klaus makes an excellent mechanic when it comes to vehicles, especially cars. He can quite literally take apart an engine and put it back together in under five minutes. This extends to other mechanical objects and machinery.
✒ Driving: Klaus is an expert driver, almost on par with entry-level FIA GT racers. He occasionally attends Autocross events for muscle cars like his…when he can afford to pay for the massive amounts of gas needed to keep that monstrosity running.
✒ Drawing: Klaus is more used to making blue-prints and such. His actual drawing skills aren’t that great, but that doesn’t stop him from doodling random things when he’s secretly goofing off in class.
✒ Sports: A very active lifestyle and excellent physical conditioning makes him the ideal choice when being picked for a team.
✒ Exercising: Klaus loves to exercise and lift very heavy weights. This of course is blatantly obvious when someone looks at him.

✒—AspirationsKlaus has a few aspirations. His current and primary aspiration is to become a Death Scythe. Beyond that he wants to be in an awesome djent band and build custom sports cars.
✒—Character HistoryKlaus was born in the town of Ängelholm, Sweden to Gustav Alexanderssen, a fisherman who spends much time away from home to provide for his family, and Maria Fridén, a homemaker. Ever since he was born, he was considered to be unnaturally large compared to the other children of his native town. For this, he was often viewed as intimidating and possibly dangerous, which caused others to keep their distance from him. However, despite this, he was a quiet and gentle child, which allowed other children to become accustomed to his presence and lose their wariness of him. He made friends easily though his shyness never seemed to leave him. For the most part, he grew up as a normal child, enjoying being outdoors and playing sports, unaware of his latent abilities.
When he was not in school, he sometimes hung around the old air base that had been bought by Christian von Koenigsegg and used as the headquarters of his car company. Whenever they were not busy dealing with rich clients that had been flown in by chopper, Klaus was allowed to observe the employees putting together expensive hypercars from every aspect. Some of the employees were nice enough to explain what they were doing and how they were putting together the car.
This introduction to mechanics and the fact most boys loved cars created an interest in mechanics for him, something he would practice at home putting together simple knick-knacks and plastic model kits. Occasionally he would tinker around with his mother's beat up old car, improving his skills in the process. Klaus also had an innate talent in music. He grew up listening to guitar virtuosos like Yngwie Malmsteen and bands like In Flames. He started with drums and eventually picked up guitar as well. He also spent some time in one of his friend's house, getting to learn a bit of audio mixing.
It would not be until he was in his teens that his abilities made themselves known. As he was crossing the street back to his house with his mother after a grocery run, a car with a stuck throttle sped through the stoplight, seemingly killing the two as it hit them. However, Klaus, in a moment of panic, manifested a partial shield form, intercepting the car and stopping it in an instant. Neither the driver nor his mother was hurt, but she knew he could no longer lead a normal life. After the incident, his mother received a notice from Shibusen, offering her son a place among the ranks of the students. After a few months of pestering, he reluctantly agreed to attend, fulfilling his mother’s wishes of leading a normal life among those similar to him.
✒—Extra Notes✒ Klaus drives a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A. A classic muscle car fitted with some modern improvements. The original 340 Six Pack engine is kept in storage. Instead, the car is powered by the same v10 engine as the Dodge Viper SRT 10, but with added twin turbos and a custom exhaust system, giving it well over 1000 horsepower. This also gives it monstrous acceleration and top speed. Klaus is the only one who is unfazed when he gives it a racing start. The car is also fitted with a Hotchkis TVS kit, lowering the height and allowing it to corner like a modern sports car. The original brake calipers and discs have been swapped out for Brembos, giving it violent stopping power. The car is painted in two-tone red and black and sports a more modern interior for added comfort on long road trips. Klaus is planning on replacing certain parts with carbon fiber parts to make the vehicle lighter yet STRONGER.
✒ Klaus dislikessloppy makeouts on the roof.
✒ Klaus drinks a whole lot of milk.
✒ Despite his massive size, Klaus’ quietness carries over physically, which he hates a lot. There are many times in which Klaus somehow sneaks up on people unintentionally, and once they notice them they proceed to flip the fuck out.

✒—Sample Post“Ora ora ora!” shouted a student with a distinct trill in his voice. “You just knocked over my lunch! Whatcha gonna do about it?”
“I’m s-s-s-sorry,” whimpered a pale and rather thin boy. There were many gasps from the surrounding students. He had just knocked over the big tough guy’s lunch, and he wanted payback.
“…Oh no,” thought Klaus as he turned around on the lunch bench to get a good view of what he saw as a very clichéd occurrence. “I swear I’ve seen this on TV way too many times.” With a barely audible grunt, the giant pushed himself back from the table and stood to his feet, towering over many of the other students. He started walking towards the source of the conflict, gently pushing apart the crowd of students and softly muttering repeatedly, “…Excuse me, pardon me.” Gradually the students became aware of who was trying to move through the crowd, and began to move away on their own, parting like the Red Sea. The Swedish giant put himself between the aggressor and the potential victim, staring down upon the tough guy.
“Outta the way big guy,” threatened the boy as he put up his fists, seemingly unfazed by Klaus’ form.
“I’d rather…not,” he said softly.
“Oh? What’s that? Geez. You’re so big yet you’re so quiet. I bet you’re just a pushover!” he said as he stepped in and wound his right arm back. His legs bent down as he pushed all of his strength into them, leaping off of the ground and springing his arm straight at Klaus jaw. A loud thud accompanied with a sickening crack echoed through the dining hall. The boy dropped to his knees, clenching his teeth as tears of pain streamed down his cheek. He was clutching his hand, which had begun to swell with a sickening blue-purple hue. The cracking sound made it known that he had broken his hand on Klaus’ jaw.
Klaus rubbed a hand over the part of his jaw that had been struck, showing no signs of damage. Completely ignoring the downed bully, Klaus helped up the other boy, putting his arm around him as a friendly gesture. “You should be more careful. It gets really crowded here…Come sit with me, I’ll share some of my lunch,” he smiled as he led the boy away, leaving the broken bully.
