00I. likes
- sebastian || his best friend and older brother by about a year. he took care of him when he was sick all the and helped him with school. stephen trusts his brother with his life
- spencer || his other best friend and younger brother. spencer was always there to make stephen laugh and to goof off with. even after the invasion, he choose to harness his brother to protect him and make sure he stayed alive
- gymnastics || pretty much stephens life from the age of five all thanks to his uncle brother person ma bob, steven
- steven || he took care of stephen when was sick, making sure he was getting his proper medicine and treatments. on top of that, steven was his best friend and more like a brother than an uncle. it was steven who got him into gymnastic and who was always there for him whenever sebastian wasn’t
- peanut butter || stephens all time favorite food. give him a jar of peanut butter and he’ll love you for the rest of your life. if he could, he’d live off this stuff
- roofs || they were an escape for stephen when things got bad. he’d sit up on the roof to think things over, process what the doctors had told him. eventually it turned into his special place. if his brothers or parents couldn’t find him, they’d search the roof because ninety percent of the time he would be there
0II. dislikes
- cystic fibrosis || it’s always brought him down as a child, had other kids look at him weird and shun him because of something he couldn’t help
- alcohol || he had a girlfriend die from drinking and after driving into a river and his grandfather was an abusive asshole because of the alcohol
- memory loss || the last thing stephen remembers is a fire breaking out in the house during the invasion. he doesn’t remember anything from being harnessed and he barely remembers his brother finding him in the woods. he has no idea how much time has passed between the invasion and now
- hospitals || he pretty much grew up in hospitals having been in and out of them his whole life and they have bad connotations now. he really never received good news in the hospital except when he was told he was going home
- school || stephen was never a big fan of school. he wasn’t that good at it, mainly because he missed so much of it but kids weren’t the nicest to him. they tended to be mean, tended to lean towards ignoring him and brushing him away. if stephen could have it his way, he’d be home schooled and not go to school at all
III. quirks/habits
- gnaws on his bottom lip when he’s nervous or thinking or just sometimes out of plan habit and comfort
- tends to gravity towards sebastian when he’s scared or nervous
0IV. fears
- he’ll die of cystic fibrosis and that it’ll come back sometime and be worse than before
- when the harness is removed, it’ll kill him. he’d rather go around with a deactivated harness on his back then die having it removed
- all his family will one day just be...gone. sebastian will be dead and he’ll never see his brother or find out what happened to his parents
- being alone. stephen hates being alone, a phobia that had grown since he was a young child after spending nights completely alone in the hospital
00V. secrets
- he secretly wishes his guardian was still alive and he could care of the other kids that he was in charge of
- none of this would have happened, that he was never harnessed and forced to leave his brothers
- he hates himself for harnessing spencer but at the sametime, he understands why he did it. spencer is never going to find out why he was harnessed, why stephen chose to take him back to the harnessing facility and put the bug on his back
0VI. strengths
- his brothers || even though his brothers are his weakness, they’re also his strength because they’ve made him into the person he is today
- harness || the harness has made him stronger than before with faster agility, greater strength, and able to go further than before. he also has a connection with his brother spencer that allows him to know if he’s alive or not. however, one of the drawbacks is that he feels the pain that spencer does, only one a weaker scale
- friendliness || stephen is a friendly person that almost everyone gets along with once they ignore the fact he has a harness latched onto his back
VII. weaknesses
- cystic fibrosis || even though now it’s gone somehow for some unknown reason, he’s afraid it’ll come back and kill him
- harness || even though its deactivated, people look at him weird and are afraid of him
- his brothers and family || he’ll do anything to protect his brothers along with his family. if they need him to do something, he’ll drop everything and do it
VIII. otherstephen was harnessed as an older child for two reasons. One, he was in charge of the children that were harnessed and with his guardian. he was in charge of making sure they were okay and parenting him in a sense when their guardian was away. when their guardian was there, stephen would be out scouting for other children to harness.
0IX. overall personality
overall, stephen is a very friendly person. he gets along with everyone at home and he doesn’t have any grudges against the family he’s close with. stephen will do anything for you if you’re close to him, anything that he’s capable of doing. he’s a hardworking person and this is shown in gymnastics where he spends all his extra time. he also is extremely stubborn. if stephen wants something, stephen will get something. if stephen doesn’t want to take a medicine or he doesn’t want to do what the doctor or his parents tell him to do, he won’t do it. however, it usually ends up with him in trouble but does he care? not really.
when it comes to friends, stephen didn’t have a lot, just a few good ones and then his family. people saw stephen as different because of his cf. no one was a big fan of the fact stephen was coughing up mucus or that he was constantly missing school. when stephen wants someone to count on, he goes for his family and the few people that had stuck with him throughout the year.

0VI. overall history
stephen ross was the second born of serina and kevin ross on july thirty first, nineteen eighty nine. his older brother, sebastian, was born a little over a year before him. for the first five years of life, everything was great. he was a happy child, growing incredibly close with sebastian and his father, kevin. he was also close with kevin’s younger brother, steven -- who he was named after. however, when he turned five, things started to change for stephen, things that would set his life up for him.
a few months after his fifth birthday, stephen went to do the doctor for a cough and a few other symptoms that just wouldn’t go away. no matter how much medication they tried, it wouldn’t disappear and it grew deeper. there were even a few times he coughed up mucus. at the doctors, he learned he had cystic fibrosis, or what their family would come to call cf, that is caused by a mutation in your genetic make up. it wasn’t much of a shock to their family because steven, kevin’s brother, also has cf.
it was difficult for stephen to understand what he had, what was going on with his body, and why he had to take all these medicines and treatments. steven really helped him understand everything because like stephen, he had it too. kevin wanted stephen to be as normal as possible so one day after picking sebastian up from soccer practice, they stopped by a gym and signed stephen up for gymnastic classes which was probably the best decision they could have made.
stephen was a natural at gymnastics, picking it up almost right away. he loved to flip, do somersaults, and everything else the little guy would do at practice. it made him happy and that’s what counted right? when stephen started school, kids treated him differently because he was almost never there being in the hospital all the time and having doctor appointments. however, there were a few kids that became stephens best friend and stuck with him throughout the years. however, no one would ever beat sebastian, spencer (his younger brother who’s six years younger than him), and steven, no one could replace them.
the older stephen grew, the more he advanced in gymnastics, winning competitions, always in the top three in events. stephen was a happy child until he hit the age of fifteen when he was told he should quit gymnastics if he wanted to live longer. stephen pretty much told the doctor to fuck off because he loved his sport and he wanted to be happy, not die unhappy and older. he’d rather die young and happy then die old and unhappy.
also when he was fifteen, stephen was denied the lung transplant that could possibly save his life. on top of being told to quit gymnastics, this news, and the news about their moms leukemia, stephen sank very low. he had contemplated ending everything and almost did but spencer saved his life by walking into the room to ask if he wanted to play video games with him. stephen agreed, leaving the room. after he hit rock bottom, he began to pick back up even finding himself a girlfriend for a few months before they broke up on mutual agreements because she was moving to washington and they knew things wouldn’t last long.
when stephen was sixteen, he met katie and they hit right off and becoming close friends and sooner dating a few weeks later. they were extremely happy together and everyone could tell. it’d gotten to the point after dating for a year and half where everyone knew they were going to end up together in the end. they were going to get married and live happily ever after. or rather, that’s what everyone thought until stephen got a call one night from her parents saying her car ended up in the bottom of a river. he’d rushed to the hospital despite it being three am only to find her in the icu room, unconscious. when he got there, katie’s parents told him she’d been at a party and drove drunk. she’d tried to swerve to miss a car but only ended up driving straight into the river.
three days later, stephen received another phone call from her parents saying she didn’t make it. stephens world stopped after losing the person he thought he was going to end up, the person who everyone knew they were going to end up together. her funeral was extremely difficult for him and the only way he made it through was because of steven who was there with him the whole time.
as everything seemed to slow for stephen, the world went on around him. he continued to compete, winning his second nationals at eighteen and he had colleges calling him for him to be on their gymnastics teams. after much debating, stephen decided to stay close to home and he accepted the full ride to the university of florida where he could still live at home and compete on the team. he went to college for sports management with a minor in business.
during college he met a girl named sarah who was on the girls team. they started off as friends and then moved to the talking stage. eventually without realizing it, they started dating, stephens first girlfriend since katie died when he was eighteen.
he competed on the team, still winning medals and competitions. he would have gone and tried out for the nationals team if his cf held him back from doing that. it was starting to get bad again by the time he graduated from college. it was probably from the years of wear and tear on his body, the non-stop gymnastics he did year round. with his parents decision, he decided to stay at home in case anything happened to him and no one was around because no way in hell was he getting a life alert. he was twenty three for heavens sake!
even though he was living at home, he got a job at the local gym where he continued to teach classes like before. he worked there with his girlfriend sarah who also taught one of the girls teams. while he taught teams, he was also working behind the scenes on getting the gym bigger and eventually taking over the management of the whole gym once the current manager retired.
or well, that was plan until the end of the world happened. stephen was at home with spencer playing the playstation when the power went out. at first they thought they blew a fuse until they heard bombs dropping and everything else. stephen had gone to try and find a flashlight and their dads gun when a bomb dropped nearby and the house caught on fire. stephen had been upstairs where the house caught on fire. he tried to get out of the room and find spencer but by the time he did, the house was engulfed in flames. he somehow managed to escape the house but quickly passed out due the amount of smoke he inhaled that triggered an attack where he couldn’t stop coughing.
the last thing stephen remembered was the house catching on fire and then the next thing, he woke up months later in a bedroom with sebastian sitting in a chair. he doesn’t remember what happened in between that time but somehow he managed to find his brother and when he woke up, he had a harness on his back that was deactivated, no longer working. he was reunited with one brother but what about his other? kevin? sirena? steven? sarah? where was everyone else?
00I. member group title human, harnessed
0II. prove yourself whatever you want
III. post script
in the months that stephen doesn’t remember, he did a lot. he was harnessed to be a “parent” so to speak to the harnessed kids while their guardian was away. when their guardian was there, stephen would be out scouting the area for more children to harness.
stephen was harnessed to save his life because the skitter knew he was going to die. a few days later, stephen went back for his brother and had him harnessed to protect him and make sure he was okay. for months stephen lived liked this, as a parent to children who he in a way raised and watched over while they worked. he only has a connection with his brother, spencer, where he feels his pain. whenever spencer is hurt, stephen feels the pain. even with the deactivated harness, stephen still feels his brothers pain and he knows he’s alive. he doesn’t know how but he just knows that spencer is out there alive.
