Personality
Fergus is a very unusual teenager, to put it mildly. He doesn't really care too much about partying, popularity, or what college he is going to go to. Rather, he is concerned with what he sees as more important: Who is he and why is he here? He does not pretend to be someone who knows the answer to these questions, but he doesn't hide the fact that he's trying to find out. Because of this, he has grown familiar with a number of religions and spiritual/philosophical traditions and, though he hasn't rejected any one of them, he is still searching for the answers to his questions. Though he isn't sure of the truth about the human soul and nature, he would tell you he does believe in God and that he believes that all living things are connected to each other. Isolation, he thinks, is an impossibility.
Despite this philosophy, Fergus isn't one for having a huge group of friends. Rather, there are only a few people at school that he would call a friend and trusts enough to share his own fears and insecurities, though he is quite open about who he is whenever he is with any type of person. He loves companionship, but he also loves solitude and being off on his own so he can think, meditate, pray, or just wander wander around in no particular direction. Fergus is one that is disappointed with the current materialistic culture surrounding him. It is shallow, fake, and utterly useless in his opinion. Material things and physical life on earth fades, in his opinion. What is important and immortal is the spirit. That isn't to say that he dislikes or detests useful possessions and technology, but he dislikes the idolatry that seems to surround it in present times. He sometimes wishes he lived in a different age, where the world was bigger and nature wilder and freer. He wishes he could have learned at the feet of great teachers like the Buddha, Jesus, Gandhi, Plato,, Krishna, Lao Tzu, and others.
Fergus does have a fondness for the town he now lives in, the school he attends, and the people around him. Even the most unpleasant students, whom he believes are trapped by their own disposition, are good at heart in his opinion. He will do whatever he can for a friend in a pinch as well as help a complete stranger without hope of reward besides advancing spiritually. His relationship with his parents, however, is strained at best. One of the questions he has in life is how he could reconcile with them or even if that is possible or desirable. In class, he is laid-back and doesn't care too much about his grades. In his opinion, schools cheapen education with the grading system. What is important is what he learns, though he'd put priority on certain things rather than, say math or physics. He has resolved to enjoy his high school years while can before setting off on a journey after he graduates or drops out, depending on the situation.
"That feeling you get when you feel union with yourself and the Divine/Universe.... It's heavenly.
Greatest fears
"I think my greatest fear is Nothing. That there is no spirit, no brotherhood, no afterlife or release. Just a random universe doomed to die with no real meaning."
Priorities
"I just want to follow where the Universe leads me."
Enlightenment and true meaning is his priority. He does not know much about what he plans on doing after high school."[/i]
Life philosophy:
"Evil is literally Nothing."

Literature
"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Bhagavad Gita
And
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

Past
History:
Ironically enough, Fergus was bought up in a rich family. He was adopted because his mother wanted another child, but did not want to go through the pain of childbirth. His adopted father is someone who made it rich off Wall-Street while his adopted mother was born into old money, meaning Fergus' family wouldn't need to worry about money for at least 5 generations, though this doesn't stop his father from being obsessed with reaching new heights in the business world while his mother buys and spends money on whatever catches her fancy. His older brother, Ethan, is a perfect model of their father and expected to take on the family business. Growing up, Fergus was expected to do something similar, but despite being in want of nothing and being more fortunate than most people his age, Stephen felt that something was missing. There was an emptiness inside that he couldn't place or fill with new toys and games or high society friends.
His grandmother on his father's side was the one person who made the most profound impact on Fergus' life. She lived humbly, but was happier than either his father or his mother. She was the one who took Stephen to church and it was with her that he felt the emptiness within him recede, only for it to threaten to swallow him whole when she died. He found comfort in the funeral and church, but there were still other religions and other spiritual paths that he found out about when he was older and he realized that he didn't really know which was true. Still, he was sure there was Something and he took to reading, studying, meditation/prayer, and exploring nature, hoping to get a clear vision of the spiritual world that lay just beyond this physical one. He still went to church, but also went to other religions as well. He read naturalistic and metaphysical philosophies. All the while, his parents, particularly his father, just saw him as dreaming and wasting his time as he talked about the spiritual messages in Naruto of all things.
At school, Fergus fell in with a few other teenagers that he either enjoyed hanging around or shared his outlook on life. He also, in his spare time, learned many different languages and his teachers tell him he should really go into a career involving them and apply himself more. However, Stephen only gives more than a token effort to learn when it's something that truly interests him. He does not mind being one of the quirky ones at whatever school he's in, one of those people that stand out from the rest. He doesn't mind being called "hippie" "religious nutjob" or "pothead". They are just words and he knows what they are. He doesn't mind going to parties, but won't try drugs thanks to what he's seen of his mother when she abused medications and other over-the-counter substances and the fact that he knows that his father does cocaine. Drug use, in his opinion, creates more emptiness, not less.
At first, Fergus was rather annoyed with his parents since they decided to move from New York to California despite knowing that he has a somewhat hard time finding people he really opens up to. However, Fergus has since decided to accept it as Fate, the Universe, or God opening up a new path for him he wouldn't otherwise have traveled.
