The death of his mother; he saw her die. He was there when she was gunned down. It was so terrible, and it made a part of him hate his father.
His five months of imprisonment on Rockfort Island; Umbrella didn't treat their prisoners well. There were times people Steve had grown accustomed to would simply disappear, never to be seen again, and it was one of those frightening moments where he realized that he had no idea how long he had left to live.
The bombing of Rockfort Island, his escape, and meeting Claire; these three things provided him with hope after being so devoid of it. It made him push on a little longer, and gave him a reason to trust someone again.
Killing his Zombie!dad; this made Steve realize that no matter what his father did, that Steve always would love him.
Turning into a monster, and trying to hurt Claire; that was the most terrifying thing that had ever happened to Steve. Those last few moments of his life will define everything he does now. He cherishes his life, and the life of others, and free will.
14. What does he fear? Becoming a monster, hurting people he cares about.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations? He didn't really have any hopes or aspirations before Rockfort Island. He wanted to be a doctor for awhile, but that fell through after how long he realized he had to be in school for. He kind of wants to be a pilot because he likes to be in the air.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him? There are lots of things he doesn't want anyone to find out about him, he's human after all, but the fact that when his mother was killed he seriously considered killing his father. He doesn't anymore, not after he did kill his (zombie)father, and even feels guilty for thinking it.
Relationships

Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type? Although canonly no birthdate was given, I've decided Steve was born August 22nd and thus is a Leo. And it fits him quite well, better than you can imagine. He's also a Metal Rooster according to Chinese Zodiac, but that actually doesn't fit him.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life? Religious. Steve wasn't a devout Christian, but he believes in God. It's not the most important thing to him, and he may not go to church or pray (anymore), but his faith is what kept him going during the months he was Umbrella's prisoner (approximately five months in my headcanon).
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it? Yes. Steve has a strong sense of morals, and justice, and what have you. It was instilled in him at a young age, mostly because he would listen to his parents discuss the news, or pay attention in bible school.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? Steve is rather indifferent. In this day and age people believe just about everything, and he's all right with that. Whatever keeps you going.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them? He hates scientists, and Umbrella. And the reasons are obvious.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? Steve and his family lived rather comfortably. They weren't rich, but they weren't poor. Sometimes his father would have trouble paying some bills, but it never happened too often.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him? Upper middle class. And it's always been that way as long as he can remember.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others? He used to live in a medium sized house. It was well decorated, mostly because his mother used to be an interior decorator. He'd lived there all his life, and really couldn't think of living elsewhere.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on? Video games. Clothes. CDs.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else? He never had a job.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time? Steve has a decent interest in guns, a shared hobby with his father, and while he never legally owned any firearms, his father had bought him several. He spent a lot of his free time playing soccer, and was even on the soccer team in freshmen and sophomore year, but quit during his junior year to focus on school work.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? Steve really isn't a picky eater, but he really likes meat. And McDonald's; his favorite being a Big Mac with extra sauce.
