Stephen Johnston

Stephen Johnston is a character role-played by Rov3rZ.

Personality
Born a brave and bold man, Stephen is extremely loyal to those that return the loyalty and treat him with respect. Although brave he still finds himself often in doubt of the choices he makes almost always requiring the gratification of those around him. However, Stephen is calm and collected for the most part but maintains a very short fuse that is very easily lit. While he acts with a warm-hearted and friendly manner, Stephen is almost impossible to reason with when enraged.

Stephen is an extremely academically inclined individual, with a strong head and nack for tactics and business. A fighter, Stephen has adapted to the way he lives his life often finding himself in fist fights with those that dislike and pick at him, Stephen often looks for a more peaceful ending to conflicts but if the fight arises he won’t be caught holding himself back. Stephen lives on an “Eye for an Eye" mentality which means he often finds himself involved in violence whether he instigated it or not. His closest friend was his eldest cousin before he died from a cancer of the lung that made its way to his heart; this would ultimately break down and change Stephen’s entire life.

Backstory
Stephen ‘Steve' Johnston was born in New South Wales, Australia’s midwest. He was born with a common neurodevelopmental disorder known as Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Stephen lived in a city that almost felt like a small town, everyone seemed to know everyone especially when you were a Johnston. The Johnston family had gathered a rather not good reputation in their city for being rather aggressive and were known for their love of cars; some might say their veins ran with Motor Oil instead of blood. Stephen didn’t get to grow up like the way the rest of his father’s side did though. At age two Stephen as well as his mum and dad moved away from the midwest to a small coastal town where Stephen would grow up, not long after falling pregnant Stephen’s mum had a major fight with his dad and kicked him out of the house. Stephen’s dad not long moved back to the midwest town Stephen was born in, leaving Stephen and his pregnant mum alone.

Stephen had a few friends but he wasn’t necessarily ever part of a group or a click, he was more of an outsider who could go to different groups and converse comfortably but never really fit in anywhere, he tried to hang with the other kids who were of his advanced academic skills, but they didn’t like his more rebellious side but the groups of this rebellious nature would tease Stephen based on him being more academically advanced then they were. This would cause Stephen to act out a lot, often getting suspended from school in attempts to impress these groups; it never helped that Stephen had a very short fuse and a general dislike for authority. Stephen once found himself suspended from his high school after a kid ran off with his bag he chased the kid who continued to then tell a nearby teacher it was the kids bag and the teacher told Stephen to back off this lit Stephen’s fuse, He yelled a lot of words at this teacher, mostly consistent with bad language.

It couldn’t have been a week after he returned to school Stephen got in a punch up with a kid that had begun picking on Stephen as he had long hair for male, this led to Stephen Hospitalising the kid and being suspended for almost a month. Following thi Stephen decided to drop out of High School and pursue a study in Information, Communications and Technology.

His mother Perry Sims had a middle class office job she would submit the pays for her department's labour hire division, whilst his father James Johnston was for a long time unable to maintain a job and could often be found staying at Stephen’s Aunty and Uncles’ houses, it wasn’t until Stephen was fifteen that his father was able to maintain a job at the mines in that area working in an office where his main job was to recruit new miners and have someone show them the ropes, Stephen’s brother Tyson Sims-Johnston is two and a half years younger then Stephen and was typically a quiet child until he turned 13 when he found himself getting suspended from school a lot and staying out late. Stephen soon realised that his brother was going to go down the same road as he did.

When Stephen was only 16 and a half he was sentenced to a year imprisonment after involving himself in the wrong crowd and ending up in a pub brawl where 2 people were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and 3 people including Stephen were arrested for aggravated assault.

After having been released from prison Stephen took up employment at a mechanic shop that specialised in giving ex-cons work when they got out of prison. Stephen worked as an apprentice mechanic for roughly 6 months where he earnt himself enough money to purchase an old beat up Holden Commodore VY Ute, he would use the mechanic shop in his off time to fix up and “upgrade” his ute to be an absolute speed demon. Stephen would go to what started as local car meet ups then turned into street racing, through street racing Stephen earned a lot of money and vehicles as some racers would put their cars on the line at a chance to win a pile of cash or someone else's ride.

Having just won a race, Stephen received a phone call…

It was his mother, Tyson had been in a big street brawl with the local boys against some Rugby League club from Victoria. Tyson had been knocked unconscious from the fight, he had been king hit at some point during the brawl putting him in a comatose state, breaking down in tears Stephen no longer knew what to do with himself, he had already noticed his little brother following the same road he took and now it had gotten the best of him.

Deciding it would be best for Tyson when he woke up Stephen left his car to Tyson and using the funds he had made up winning street races he sold off the rest of his belongings and bought a plane ticket to the city of Los Santos where he planned that he could have a new life, a life that would end up with his family being hurt anymore by his actions. Moving away with his actions no longer able to be reflected in his brother and not causing any more emotional or physical harm to his family, Stephen decided that when he landed one thing would never change and that was that he is a rev head.
