Steven Tennyson

Steve, a character from the Perfect Match series, is Nadia's boyfriend, as well as her Match from Eros. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Steve has short blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin complexion. He wears a brown polo shirt.

If you haven't recruited him in Book 1, he will reappear in Book 2, Chapter 3 and will wear a black guard uniform until he and Nadia leave in Chapter 7. Once they come back to the group, he will wear his usual clothes again.

Personality
When first introduced, Steve was a passionate, kind, and loving person. But he broke up with Nadia, and was seen later as a green mohawked punk with numerous facial piercings. When passing Nadia on the street, he didn't notice her at all, passing her and making out with another girl behind her. When he was recalled from that client and reprogrammed to become Steve again, he recovered his past set of memories, which was highly unorthodox for a Match (according to Sloane). If Your Character convinces him to join their team (and thus, join the events of Book 2), he tells you that he enjoys being "Steve". He loves his hometown, football, baking, and being with Nadia. Although his backstory profession was "banking", he changes to become a "pastry chef". While Hayden struggles with his sense of self, Steve is the opposite, enjoying what his programming has made him to be.

Physical Attributes
As Steve is physically no more than a collection of wires, circuits, and bolts embedded within a waterproof hardware that closely resembles human skin, he/she is classified as an android. As a machine, Steve is physically stronger than most humans. It is also presumed that like Hayden, Steve is also susceptible to metal detectors.

Mental Attributes
Steve's neural activities such as thought, emotion, memories, knowledge, and personality are preprogrammed by Handlers, adjusting the software as Eros sees fit.

Nadia
Steve is Nadia's (most recent) boyfriend. They met through a matchmaking service called Eros before the events of Book 1. In Chapter 3, they move in together, throwing a housewarming party for their friends. However, at the end of Chapter 5, he breaks up with her through a note. He is used to break down Nadia and is reunited with her in Chapter 14 with different memories installed. He eventually remembers and urges Nadia and Your Character to leave. Your Character has the (diamond) choice of convincing him to come with them (and thus, he will stay with Nadia for the rest of Book 1, and throughout Book 2) or leaving him behind to fight Eros and protect them. If he stays behind, he will be reappear in Chapter 3 of Book 2 and attack Hayden because Eros has repurposed him. As they changed his memory, he doesn't remember Nadia and anything that has happened. Your group will drag him along in Chapter 4. When he sees Nadia he says the exact same words as he did when they first met which makes Nadia cry. They talk in private so she can tell him everything that has happened and they are back together shortly afterwards.

Robert
Robert was originally introduced as Steve's father. It was later revealed in Chapter 10 that he is Steve's handler.

Gary
It is revealed by Sloane in Chapter 10 that Gary is Steve's hardware with another personality installed.
