secrets: Stefan was compelled by Katherine and never loved her. Or...at least he doesn't believe that he did. Unlike his brother Damon who just waited to die, Stefan gave into the temptation of blood upon killing their father. He then brought a human to Damon and convinced him to turn so that they could be brothers forever. The guilt of what he did still haunts him to do this day. Every human that dies at Damon's hand he blames himself for.
personality: Unlike other vampires I am the one that you don’t have to worry about. Whereas most vampires shut out their humanity I do not but choose to embrace it. I was told over a century ago that having compassion and a conscience is my eternal curse of being a vampire. My brother Damon believes that humans are nothing but cattle but I disagree. I believe that vampires can co-exist peacefully with humans and that we don’t have to be these dark, terrifying creatures that everyone believes we are. Unfortunately because of my brother I am pretty much a loner because I don’t want anyone I know to get hurt. However there are occasions that I will open up to someone if I am comfortable with them although I do not disclose what I truly am for obvious reasons. Doing that in the past has caused me a lot of pain. If you get to know me and I can trust you I can be a very loyal friend. Being a vampire I have to constantly be on alert as occasionally if I am around open wounds I am tempted by human blood and show my vampire self. Even though I drink animal blood the temptation to drink human blood is always there but I resist. Being a vampire I cannot be hurt or at least….permanently and my wounds repair themselves. It can sometimes be difficult though if someone witnesses such a thing. I am somewhat of a romantic in that I like to read books and poetry and do not like to push myself on a female. I have been told that I have a romantic brooding stare before which makes my brother roll his eyes. Love is something that I have only felt once and that was back in 1864 with a young girl named Katherine. Unfortunately that love met with a tragic ending which is why I am leery of such a thing.
Violence and killing is not something that I can stomach these days and I try to avoid it at all costs unlike my brother Damon who relishes in it. The terrible thing is when I first became a vampire I was a lot like my brother is now and I am not proud of it. Choosing to experience human emotion I carry around a lot of guilt about what happened to my brother and I back in 1864. Unfortunately my brother chooses to bring it up any chance that he gets which doesn’t make it any easier. I also carry that guilt knowing the people that have died because of my brother. Even though my brother has caused so much pain in my life I still love him and keep hoping that one day I will reach him and show him that he can be good like me. Even though I have to constantly lie to others to conceal what I am I do not like doing it. With me drinking animal blood as opposed to human blood I know that it makes me weak but I don’t care. And….I suppose that caring about humans can also be considered a weakness too particularly from vampires like my brother. One might say that I am trying to save the world whereas my brother Damon wishes to destroy it. Am I a white knight in shining armor? No, I am more like a white knight with a curse on it.

history: : I was born in 1846 in the place now known as Mystic Falls in Virginia. Unfortunately my mother had a difficult birth which made her very weak. I don’t remember that much about my mother since she could not really care for me and was instead by her servant and occasionally my older brother Damon. Sadly my mother died when I was four years old and it nearly destroyed my brother. I really wish that I could have known our mother like Damon did but sadly all I remember is her face and her gentle voice. When our mother died our father basically secluded himself from us and Damon pretty much raised me. My older brother was basically like my shadow and was with me wherever I went. When we were boys we got into a lot of trouble because of how we liked to play but Damon would always take the blame. I never understood that at the time but simply accepted it. The Salvatore brothers were known for their pranks and playing tag in the gardens. Damon taught me things like how to shave, dress and ride a horse.
When I was 14 years old Damon went to join the Confederacy in the Civil War and it broke my heart. I guess it was because Damon and I had been together so long and he made me feel safe and confident. If I ever had a question about anything or was upset I always had Damon for support. I knew why he was choosing to serve but it didn’t mean that I had to like it. I felt like Damon had left me to grow up alone. I often sent him letters and at first he replied back. But as time went on they became less and less. I wanted to go visit him but father would not allow me and told me to keep my focus on my studies. When I was 17 a young girl named Katherine Pierce came to our home. Father took her in because she claimed to be an orphan from The Atlanta Campaign. I had never really been around girls that much but….I really fell for Katherine. The only problem is so did Damon and she went about playing us against one another. As much as I loved my brother I was actually willing to push that aside so that I might possess something that he wanted. What I did not realize is that even though Katherine was with me she was also spending time with Damon as well. When Katherine shared her blood with me she also did the same with my brother with the intention of turning us both into vampires to be with her.
Our father found out about vampires being present in Mystic Falls and I tried to argue that not all vampires were bad. Damon discouraged me from talking to our father about it but I did anyway. It wasn’t too long after this that my father placed liquid vervain in my drink and the next time that Katherine fed from me she fell to the ground poisoned. Father had her dragged off to be burned at the local church and Damon resented me for what happened. We tried to distract the carriage taking her but were shot by our father. With Katherine’s blood in us we arose from our deaths and then had to decide where we would die or complete the transformation into a vampire by drinking human blood. With Katherine gone Damon had decided that he would just wait to die. I went back to try and reason with our father but he became frightened and tried to kill me. Smelling the scent of his blood it intoxicated me and I drank from him thus completing my vampire transformation. I returned to Damon with a human offering him the same choice. At first he resisted but then I told him that we could be brothers forever. Giving in he killed the human I offered him and also became a vampire. It was at that time that I was told that because I had a conscience and compassion for others that I would be eternally cursed as a vampire.
At first when we turned Damon and I stuck together and terrorized the countryside making the ultimate vampire duo. We would lure our victims with little difficulty and gladly feed on their blood and fear. Then came the day when we separated. Damon told me that he would always resent me for what happened to Katherine and also promised me an eternity of misery. Realizing what I had done I made my choice to drink animal instead of human blood which unfortunately made me weaker when it came to dealing with Damon. Now wherever I go he follows where he creates chaos and death all around me. It saddens me that so many have died because of my brother and there is nothing that I can do.

role play sample: The walk back to the boarding house had been a long one for Stefan. After speaking with Elena at the Mystic Grill he had decided to head back home instead of going to search for Damon. Part of him knew that Damon would be just fine because….well he was Damon. However that other part of him had been worried because Damon had been injected with vervain and might be a little weaker because of it. As far as he was concerned Mystic Falls was no longer 100% safe for him and Damon because of what had happened. The device had exposed them to the entire town as vampires and there was no telling who had seen them go down. That was especially true in Stefan’s case because he had been right out in full view of the public eye. He planned to be cautious until he was sure there was no danger from the townspeople. But what would happen if they did know what he and Damon were? Would he have to leave? The thought of that did not set well with him because that would mean having to leave Elena. As much as it would hurt him he would do it though to protect her. But he would not well on that though unless it was deemed necessary.
The only question was…would Damon go with him? Because if Stefan was in danger then so was his brother. Damon was always stubborn and did what he wanted so he didn’t know if he would agree to Stefan’s proposition. For once Stefan would be the one to leave first whereas normally it was Damon to leave the mess for him to clean up. Even though Damon had been a pain to him for 145 years he would not let him stay back and be killed by the townspeople. If he had to he would inject him with vervain and drag him off. Just as Damon had looked after him back when they were children so would he do the same. Then when some time had passed he would return to Elena. But what about after that? He couldn’t expect Elena to just leave Mystic Falls because of him and he would allow her that choice without influencing her in any way. His love for her was so strong that he would respect whichever decision that she made. He was not selfish to where he would expect Elena to follow him if he had to leave. No, that was something that his older brother would do.
When Damon returned he would talk to him about what he had been thinking and just hope that he agreed to it. Otherwise it was going to be a long night…well….even longer after everything that had already happened earlier. But where was Damon? After what had happened to him tonight he had expected him to just come home but he wasn’t there. Now he began to worry. Had something happened to him? Had the townspeople tracked him down and killed him? Were they now on their way here?
Stop being so paranoid Stefan. He’ll probably be home any minute.
He didn’t know why but something just didn’t feel right about the whole thing. Part of him even thought that maybe Bonnie had done something to Damon? It wasn’t as if she had not threatened to. And he still wasn’t comfortable that Damon and Elena had gotten so close either. It wasn’t that he was worried about Elena but rather it was Damon. For 145 years Damon had always tried to get one up on him and with Elena it would be no different. But Stefan was determined that this time Damon was not going to win. He was relieved when Damon finally walked in because now he would be able to tell him exactly how he felt and be able to move on with his night. However with Damon he was pretty sure that the conversation would not be an easy one. And as it progressed he could see that he had been right.
“Happy? I was not saying that to rub it in your face, Damon. I was merely trying to point something out to you that you are too stubborn to admit. But…I can see that it is pointless to argue with this about this.” He let out a sigh. “Bonnie did what she thought was right, Damon. I mean….can you blame her? We are vampires. And I never meant to put her as a hero. I was only trying to say that if it hadn’t been for Bonnie I would never have been able to get to you. I agree in that she betrayed Elena but that is something between her and Elena. All that matters is that in the end we both survived. We can’t dwell on the past, Damon.”
Boy is there some truth in that. Unfortunately mine continues to haunt me.
“Oh, you are not a saint in that event either, Damon. You planned to go behind my back and snatch up that grimoire the first chance you got. It just upset you that I beat you to it. I was never in alliance with you in the first place. We both had our own agendas and you know it. Elena? You think that part of the reason that I saved you was for her? Even though you don’t want to accept it you are my BROTHER, Damon. That’s a simple fact and nothing can change it. Think what you want but I do care about you. But don’t feel like you owe me anything all right? I did it because I wanted to and nothing more.”
I can never expect you to understand, Damon. Reason is not exactly one of your qualities.
“What are you talking about? Caroline? I didn’t use her Damon. I was merely trying to protect her from YOU. And sure I put that vervain in her drink but it did nothing to her only you. I locked you in the basement because you left me no choice, Damon. You were out of control and you know it. And I am more of a gentleman than you will ever be. I don’t kill humans and treat them like cattle. I try to understand them because….I was like them once. And you may have taught me but I am no longer like you, Damon.”
Stefan was not exactly proud of what he had done in the past. How he had hunted humans and used them for nourishment just as Damon had. It was true that he had used many innocent women and left their lifeless corpses in his wake. In fact he and Damon had actually been somewhat of a team when it came to that. And what women could resist two handsome brothers? Of course this was something he would never reveal to Elena. Well…he would if she asked but he could only assume that she already knew after all that had already talked about. Of course she didn’t know about how it was Stefan that had chosen to transition into a vampire first and then tempted Damon to the do the same.
“You think that I don’t know that, Damon? The decision to go through the transition has been haunting me for 145 years! I don’t need you to remind me of it. When I came to Mystic Falls I didn’t expect to see you. Do you really think that I would have had I known you were on my trail? I hadn’t seen you for 15 years, Damon.” He let out a chuckle. “The winning side? Damon, you are a sociopath and murderer! How does that qualify for a winning side? You wanted me to be a killer like you! How exactly is that considered brotherly love? Had I joined you this entire town would have been wiped out. So don’t stand there and try and make me feel guilty about this whole thing because it’s not going to work.”
You’ve been there for Elena when I couldn’t be? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
“You forget one thing, Damon and that is that Katherine is stronger than you. She was a vampire before you remember? We don’t know just how old she truly is. You try and kill her it will be like suicide. But…if you want a death wish go ahead. This power trip of yours is going to get you killed, Damon. You need to stop this.”
I just hope you’re right, Damon and that you don’t fall back into Katherine’s arms. I can’t think what will happen to this town if the two of you go on a killing spree.
Stefan had planned on speaking with Damon that night but he had never thought that the conversation would take the turn it just had. His fear that Damon had tried for Elena was now realized. But it still didn’t make sense after what he and Elena had discussed at The Mystic Grill before he had headed for home. Why would she tell him that she loved him and not Damon only to betray him later? No, the Elena that he had come to love over the months would never do something like that to him. What Damon said just had to be a lie. His thoughts were interrupted as Damon reached across and grabbed him by the throat before slamming him against the wall. It appeared that Damon only knew how to react with violence. But the words that he said about how Elena had kissed his brother caused a pain in his chest. It just couldn’t be true! He could also feel the anger growing inside of him that threatened to become a growl but instead became a laugh as Damon released him.
“You are SO conceited do you know that?” He then walked around the room. “If I remember we have played out a scene similar to this before upstairs in my room about 8 months ago? Oh come on, Damon you remember don’t you? You flew in and started pushing me around, trying to irritate me? Then we ended up crashing out the window? Sound familiar now? Yeah, thing is things have changed since then. See, after things started getting a little out of control and…well I didn’t think I could trust you anymore I decided to take things into my own hands.” It was at that moment that he turned with lightning speed and grabbed Damon by the neck shoving him into the wall. His eyes then became red followed by the capillaries under his eyes and then his fangs elongated as he looked at Damon. “Did I fail to mention that I have been adding some human blood to my diet? No? Well surprise. Now you do know.”
