Steve Petit

Steven Jared Petit (a.k.a. Steve)

Steve is a friend of Marek's from high school who is also involved with the Midnight Theater. Best known for being the Other GraveRobber (with Marek Alfweine being The GraveRobber locally) and being part of the rotating shift of Riff Raff shadowers.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Steve first became aware that he was different from other kids in second grade when some of the kids started picking on him. He didn't understand why and refused to modify his behavior to something more heteronormative and the bullying continued throughout his education. Becoming friends with Marek Alfweine in third grade helped to lessen the aggression, but Steve struggled a lot when he went to college in New York City while Marek remained at the local community college.

After failing out of his academic program at NYU, he returned home to Poughkeepsie in disgrace and shared an apartment with Marek. Steve managed to land a rotation of part time jobs that eventually allowed him to afford his own apartment and he moved out in 2004. They have remained close friends and share many interests, including goth culture, musical theater, and people watching.

Mental Trauma

Steve has suffered a lot of bullying throughout his life. The worst of it happened while he attended college at NYU; he was caught away from his group of friends while drunk and beaten severely for presenting as femme and gay. He spent almost a week in the hospital with five broken ribs, damage to his liver and one of his kidneys, a concussion and a broken nose and jaw. His grades suffered after that and he decided to return home to Poughkeepsie rather than trying to tough it out in the big city. He carries a lot of shame for this "failure to launch" but hides it behind cheer and recklessness.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Steve's primary goal in life is to have as much fun as possible and to try as many new things as he can cram into his life. Very little frightens him and he will throw himself wholeheartedly into learning something new if it interests him. New experiences are always worth the risk of being hurt.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Steve has an uncanny knack for matching people to their new favorite cocktails. He has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of alcohol and bartending techniques as well as an excellent palate for matching flavors and preferences.

Personality Quirks

Extremely outgoing and self-confident about doing stupid things in public. Often talks Marek into doing stupid things with him.

Social

Family Ties

Steve has a three-years-younger sister, Denise or "Denny" who adores him. His relationship with his parents has been strained since his coming out.

History

Marek and Steve have been best friends since 3rd grade, shortly after Marek pulled the school bully off of Steve. They have had their ups and downs like any friends, but they always come back to a comfortable neutral. Marek is the first person Steve came out to in high school and trusts him implicitly. Marek is mostly honest with Steve, except when it comes to the subject of kink and BDSM.

Nicknames & Petnames

Steve is the only person allowed to shorten Marek's name to "Mare."

Relationship Reasoning

While Steve isn't exactly a small man, Marek usually acts as his bodyguard when the two go out. They're incredibly comfortable in each other's company, especially after 2009 when they actually address the sexual tension.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

Both are active in the Midnight Theater and share a strong love for all things goth. While Marek looks great in makeup, Steve is the one who has to apply it.

Shared Secrets

They have shared three kisses: once in 1996 (junior year), once in 2009 (before Repo!), and once more in 2016 (while Marek was dating Elle ). While Steve insists Marek owes him another in 2026, Marek has not promised to honor the expectation.

Around the time Marek Alfweine punched a school bully who was bothering Steve, Isabella discovered how poorly Vanessa and Sal Petit were treating their two kids. She encouraged Marek to bring Steve home with him and she proceeded to adopt both him and his little sister, Denny.
