“I apologize for my boy, Wilfre. He’s getting into that phase where he doesn’t like to talk.”

–Steven

Steven is a Raposa created by GuyThatExists that appears in the short stories Circi Loves Wilfre, Salem Rose Pt. 1, and Salem Rose Pt. 2 as a minor character. He also appears in The 35 as a character in 1 out of 105 segments.

Steven is the father of Wilfre and Dion, and he was Mayor's Deputy Mayor due to the early death of the previous mayor. He would help welcome Circi and her family into the village, though Circi's grandmother, Athys would eventually kill him postmortem. Due to being a leader of the village, he would wander the world as a ghost for years until being summoned to The Wasteland, which he would eventually become mayor of.

Many years later, he would meet with Milfre and Miles, offering his support in having Milfre help Miles with a project. Shortly after, when Miles is corrupted into Salem Rose, Steven watches as he attacks the village, destroying the Stellar Showdown Housing Project, and stealing the Galactic Jungle and Lavasteam Village Orbs. When Milfre returns later, he watches her take the Watersong orb and reveal herself to be a Creation Hero before flying off to fight Salem Rose.

Appearance

Steven is a tall, male Raposa with grey fur. He wears a long-sleeved black shirt with a light green, short-sleeved turtleneck on top of it. He has a pair of long, green pants with suspenders, and he wears a pair of dark shoes. He also has a blue scarf wrapped around his neck.

Story

Before Circi Loves Wilfre

At some point in his life, Steven met a woman named Hawwah, and the two of them settled down together in Rapoville. They eventually had a child and named him Wilfre. Steven was also chosen to be Mayor's Deputy Mayor, and helped him settle into his duties as Mayor.

Circi Loves Wilfre

Steven is first seen when Circi, Percate, and Athys arrive in Rapoville after being chased out of Rust City. He welcomes them with the Mayor and his son, Wilfre. The group walks over to Percate's new house, and Steven helps Wilfre accept Percate's gift of a Ruby Pen. Eleven years later, Steven is killed by a now Shadow-corrupted Athys. He is found by his son, who calls out for help. Circi, Percate, Mayor, Cricket, and Dr. Cure arrive at the house, and Dr. Cure officially proclaims him dead.

Much later, after Circi discovers the ghosts of Wilfre's Wasteland, Steven, one of the many ghosts, teleports Circi to Wilfre's quarters to find a half completed mannequin with Milfre painted on it by Wilfre. Eventually, as more ghosts arrive on the island, they elect Steven as their Mayor, and the island is renamed to simply The Wasteland.

The 35

2017

During his afterlife on The Wasteland, Steven would hear a fight between Uzim and Sin Sin, attempting to break it up, but not arriving until Sigil does. With the fight over, Steven asks to speak with Sin Sin privately, but Sigil is adamant in refusing, taking Sin Sin with them to their house.

Salem Rose Pt. 1

Steven is next seen in 2042 attending the 10th annual Creator's Alliance meeting. He chastises Mari's decision to keep Wilfre in hiding without letting anyone else in the group know, but he does not remove himself from the Alliance afterwards. He is later seen asking Milfre to help him with the Stellar Showdown Housing Project. As she is the only living Raposa on the island, he asks her to help fly stuff to higher levels.

Later, he calls Miles, asking for his help with the project as well. When he arrives in the Time Machine with YoYaYa, Steven directs him to the area where they are working. After Miles and Milfre are done working for the day, they go to Steven, asking him if she can go to Watersong with him. Steven asks Milfre to stay at The Wasteland, but after showing that she trusts Miles, he allows her to leave.

Sometime after Miles becomes Salem Rose and fights Milfre inside Deadwood, Salem Rose returns to The Wasteland and levels the Stellar Showdown Housing Project. Steven tries to help some of the ghosts in the housing get to safety, inadvertently allowing Salem Rose to steal the Lavasteam and Galactic Jungle Orbs and leave the village.

Salem Rose Pt. 2

Steven is next seen when Kamalah drops Milfre off back at The Wasteland. He, Mayor, and Athys approach her and explain what Salem Rose had done. When Milfre says that she's going to kill him, she's cut of by Meeny, who asks her to spare his life. Steven watches as Milfre absorbs the Watersong Orb's power and flies off to Galactic Jungle, revealing herself as a Creation Hero.
