[color=green][b]Personality Traits[/b][/color]
[indent]reclusive- Due to most people disliking drunk people and that alcohol smell that most can't stand. Steven has learned that whenever possible he prefers to be alone. If he is forced into a group situation he will usually not be the one to speak up in a group or to offer suggestions unless he is put on the spot.

 Dislikes people- This stems from the years of childhood abuse and how in his experiences in Hvass alcoholics tend to just use other alcoholics. It will take awhile for him to warm up to almost anyone. Feels most people just want something.

Critical- Due to Steven being alone for most of his life, he has developed a critical mindset and If he is not the one doing something chances are he will feel its not done properly. It is a self coping trait that is abrasive and tends to push people away as Steven goes for his version of perfection to try and impress people.

Strong friend- Once you can get past his walls, he will be with you through thick or thin. Very few people have ever gotten to this stage in Steven's life. The one that comes to mind the quickest would be the minister that gave William a place to live and seemed to genuinely care about him. Despite his failures and shortcomings as the groundkeeper of the church, he was often disappointed in himself for failing to do better.

Knows he needs to do better socially- He considers himself a work in progress. He does not want to be like his father and claims he's there because he is not abusive. Often struggles with guilt at being unable to put the bottle down, but it is one of the few places he finds comfort in. At the bottom of the bottle. It's gotten worse due to the fog and its monsters.

[color=green][b]Background[/b][/color]
[indent]Steven lawhorn is a native of Hvass. He never knew his mother because she died giving birth to him and he was left with his alcoholic father Benjamin who was often prone to fits of rage. Whether it was due to sadness at his wife dying or struggling financially, once Steven hit 18 he left his home and drifted from place to place within Hvass doing odd jobs until he happened upon the goodwill of the minister of the Lutheran church who put him up in a small trailer on Derby street as long as he promised to keep up the grounds of his church.

 It is actually for this reason that Steven survived the fog. Instead of being outside passed out drunk in his yard, he was within the maintenance shed at the church hiding with the bay door shudder down passed out on a lawnmower drunk. Steven knows he needs to do better and be a better person but old habits die hard and years of abuse and drinking have left him distrusting of most people. He is something of a handyman though as he had to find a way to supply his addiction.

Honestly he's still not fully sure of what's going because he always tries to have a bottle in his hands. Claims he's a functioning drunk. He has done his best to remain on the outskirts of the people he's near but he is helpful when needed and asked things of.  [/indent]
