Steve

Steve is a recurring NPC ally that the AY Bellevue party encounters performing menial tasks and low-level jobs around the world. Steve is characterized by his limited intellect, slow speech, and distractibility. While he is well-intentioned, his lack of insight and concentration often becomes a point of frustration for the party. However, due to his ubiquitous presence, he often is able to share a nugget or two of useful - if vague - information.

Employment
Steve is universally incompetent, and he does not generally stay at one job for any length of time. He continues to find employment in varying capacities all over the world due to his extensive network of cousins. The first appearance of Steve was in Faunsdale as the clerk in the local shovel store.

Appearance
Steve is a human male who is 25 years of age. He is a very large and stocky man of pale complexion, with unkempt brown hair. He is generally well-shaved, as it is something his "mum" is quite insistent that "good boys do," and usually wears Wellington boots.

Metagame Origins
Steve's personality and pattern of speech are largely inspired by the recurrent Gumbys characters from the television series Monty Python's Flying Circus. However, Steve is considerably less abrasive towards others and much quieter than the Gumbys characters.
