Personality

Personality Description: Stef is a really lovely man. He's friendly, and tends to remind people of a great big silly puppy. He loves talking with people and isn't the type to hole up or keep to himself. He's pretty pleasant to have as company. Stef is generous to a fault - he'd even give away the clothes on his back to someone if they needed it. As such, he's incredibly poor. He'll forsake beds for sleeping in the back of his truck. Just as long as everyone else is happy and has what they need. It's easy to assume he's naive because of this, but he's really not. Not very smart to an extent, but certainly not naive. He's not book-smart (he can't even read or write anything but numbers anyway). It's to be assumed that if Stef was in the position to go to school he could leave a damn good mechanical engineer.

Stef tends to mix things up easily due to his limited long-term contact with people. Due to this, he'll often mix up friendship, love and sex, leading to him hitting on friends inappropriately, assuming someone who likes him enough to give him hugs and stay close loves him, etc. He's been getting better recently, but still. He's also bad with what is appropriate to do. When he's been starving in the past, he's killed and spitroasted babies and then eaten them. His logic? The parents can just make a new one. Apparently doing that to anyone over the age of 2 is wrong, though. Few people have been exposed to his cannibal tendancies, and the few that have would be less than likely to calmly tell him that you can't just eat babies.

In general, he's a very calm person. Happy, but calm. When he's wound up, his voice gains an edge and he talks quieter and lower than usual. He'll make comments about how good at target shooting it is and wouldn't it be a shame to spoil that nice rock with your blood and hadn't you better give that back to the nice man right away? He's pretty stubborn as well, and once he has hold of an issue he will not let go. Stef is also very perceptive, although it's easy to take him as an idiot.

Likes - Cuddles, hunting, driving, fixing things (and making new things when he can), making people happy, the sun, dying his hair, drinking, smoking.
Dislikes - Thieves (his hate for them is pretty immesurable), cold weather, mean people, people thinking he's stupid, not being able to read, getting told off by doctors for chain smoking.

Aspirations - To make friends, to make money, to make people happy.
Flaws - Not exactly socially awkward - more like socially weird as hell, stubborn, sometimes immature, cannot read or write, tends to overreact at small things (like petty theft, gang crime, etc).

STEFAN'S MIX TAPE. The most glorious mix tape ever. It was a present for one of his birthdays. It has everything from Queen to Ministry to AC/DC to Johnny Cash to Take That. It's probably his favourite ever thing and many passengers in his truck have been submitted to the clusterfuck that is Stef's mixtape.

History

History: Stef's family were killed when he was four or five. The event was so traumatic he has no memory of it. Due to this, he also has little he can dwell on about the event. He was found wandering around on the cracked tarmac of a road by a mercenary, a certain Lazarus Gaunt (real name Tommy Hill. WASN'T COOL ENOUGH). Lazarus raised him like a son, but Stef has always seen him more as a teacher and has great respect for the man even after his death. Still, Lazarus cared for the boy and taught him pretty much all he now knows. Unfortunately, Lazarus couldn't read or write (apart from numbers) and Stef can't either.

They moved around constantly, and so Stefan never made any friends, really, hence his somewhat weird and awkward way of dealing with people. The trauma of his parents' death may also have affected how fast he gets close to other people, although he can't say much about it. As he grew up, Stef learnt how to fire a gun, skin a dog, scav off of dead bodies, cook, and (one of his most useful skills) to fix things. Lazarus was a good mechanic, but he often sent Stefan on jobs to fix things, which added to his self-confidence.

Stefan's life certainly hasn't been without hardship, however. He often grew up hungry as Lazarus refused to join a larger mercenary group, and learnt to deal with this by hunting on his own. He's been rather independant since a young age, and it was unfortunately part of Lazarus' downfall. Stef was out working on his own (fixing someone's car) when Lazarus was shot dead by a gang he'd angered. When Stef found the body, he hunted said gang members down ruthlessly, and killed the last one about two weeks after shooting the first.

Since then, he's been on his own and struggling for a job. He somewhat lives his life by things Lazarus said. It's the reason he's so vehemently opposed to theft and isn't a big fan of swearing either.

Recently he's been looking for somewhere to work. He's been down on his luck and really needs to find a job. He's heard of Lindville, and is wondering if they'd have him as a general handyman or even a guard. He has his own guns and toolbox!
