Personal history

Steve grew up in the DC wastes to two loving parents, Brom and Ismeridia, who survive to this day [pending your approval]. He often explored the area around his village throughout his youth, much to the consternation of his parents. Over the course of these excursions, he found both his L115A1 and MP5 in the wastes, and worked with his father to restore both of them. At age 16 he was inducted into the village guard as a scout. While Pike and Steve's team had encountered, and defeated, a raider scouting force, Steve "didn't see" a single survivor, a youth of about 14 (at a time when Steve was 17 himself) and allowed them to escape. A few weeks later, while on one of his unsanctioned scouting patrols, he saw the same youth relating the details of his village and its defences to a large host of raiders. Steve ran back to his village and alerted them to the threat. The village was able to repel the assault, with minimal losses on their side, but Steve blamed himself for the attack in the first place. The assault prompted a serious discussion among the villagers about moving their village to a safer location. Shortly after this, Steve found the B-52 which brought them to Moscow

Mental Trauma

The threat he allowed to propagate to his village, both in D.C. and here in Moscow.

The vision he was haunted with in the plane crash.

Intellectual Characteristics

While a fairly skilled combatant and shooter, steve largely inherited his father's engineer mindset

Morality & Philosophy

Tries to protect the innocent wherever he finds them, Steve put's his village first before all other considerations. He will not attack innocents as a result but is ruthless to any opposition that he meets on the battlefield. Due to his experience with the youth that informed on his village, he's slow to trust outsiders, but is smart enough to form a combat bond with people who appear to be helping him.
