Steph

Art by @stephdoesartt

Steph is an avian from an unknown island who lives nearby Eret's castle. His main job is to work as a guard, but he also works as a ghosthunter, though he is simply just a self-proclaimed ghosthunter. Fog is a good fighter, but he is just a bit clumsy which has caused him to lose three fingers. His ghosthunter career is risky for him since fog doesn't care about pissing off ghosts, causing him to be very chaotic around haunted areas. Fog is almost completely mute and communicates through text on a little whiteboard he carries along. Though he can speak, he just speaks a bit on very rare occasions. He is very chill with everyone though people usually assume that he is angry due to his neutral expression being angry.

## Life

### Pre-SMP

Steph lived on a small island before moving to the SMP. He was happy there, of course. He was very talkative and he spoke about everything all the time. But the island started to seem boring to him. So, one day he left with a letter left by his doorstep. He took a boat and left. He didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to adventure to somewhere new.

During the journey, something did happen. After arriving to the SMP, fog no longer spoke. He was fully quiet. He refuses to explain what happened, he ignores it if someone asks about it. He just wants to forget about it.

### Early days

When he got to the SMP, he was happy to find something new. He was happy to find new people. The conflicts made his life more interesting in his opinion. He liked to meet new people, who didn't have any idea of who he was. At least that is what he hoped.
The SMP was amazing to fog. The new places were always amazing to him. He started researching for paranormal activity around the SMP. He constantly carried his EMF reader with him to check anywhere. Some found it weird, but he didn't care. He didn't care about other people at that point.

### L'manberg era

When L'manberg was first looking for new people to join, Steph was one of the people to follow others to the country. He just wanted to stay with his friends. He really didn't have much of an idea about what he was signing up to.

As the war started, he knew he wanted to help fight. He helped people train and he knew he was ready to fight for the country. He saw it as his home at that point. He was one of the first people to know about the betrayal and he was shocked. He didn't know Eret well enough and he couldn't bring himself to hate anyone, so all fog could do was try to learn how to hate someone.

### The election

After Tommy and Wilbur were exiled, Steph would've wanted to go to Pogtopia. He didn't though. He was ready to fight back on his own in Manberg. He didn't have a plan, he just wanted to annoy Schlatt. Fog did a lot of vandalism around the white house. He didn't get caught, but people knew he was doing everything, they just didn't bother to report it to anyone.

After the festival, Steph left to go to Pogtopia. Fog was one of the people who were accepted in due to rumors of what he was doing were known around well. He tried his best to help everyone and get materials for everyone. Maybe fog cared too much.

When the war against Manberg started, he felt like Eret had redeemed themselves by helping them. He knew there was that chance. It made him happy. Fog knew people could change. Maybe Eret did. Just maybe.

When L'manberg blew up, Steph felt like it was the final straw. He did cry. He wouldn't admit it, but it was true. Attachments hurt. He knew it, but he couldn't stop getting them. Fog wanted to let go of everything.

### Life in Eret's castle

Maybe he was bored. Maybe he was interested in the job. But he applied to work for Eret in the castle. He talked to the king about it, they slightly laughed when he said he didn't know what he would do, but he would do anything. They suggested for him to work as a guard. He agreed to do it since he found it easy. Eret did say to him to not work too much and admitted that normally they wouldn't hire him, but fog was so insistent on working there that they just agreed.

Though he was offered to stay in the castle, he refused. He stayed nearby the castle, switching homes occasionally until he started staying in a small mushroom house nearby the castle.

### The Egg

Steph is very against the Egg. He doesn't like it, due to his hatred on going to the nether and how much it reminds him of it. He just hates it so much. He works on to get it destroyed.

## Appearance

Steph is half blonde half brown haired pale guy. He has lost one finger (index finger) from his left hand and two fingers (middle finger and ring finger) from his right hand, which have been replaced by a metal fingers that he had made. He lost them before moving to the SMP. He has a scar on his mouth from the first L'manberg war.

Fog has bright pink eyes and wears a dark green gilet with fur on it's hood. He always has a bandage on his right arm, that he refuses to explain why he wears it. He also wears dark blue pants with black boots.

Whenever he is doing his job he's wearing his sunglasses, otherwise they're on his head so he can't lose them.
