The default character model or basic character skin in a video game. A Steve is a player who so desperately wants to play the game that he skips all character creation stages to get
in the game faster. Steves are either new players who don’t
understand the game’s concept of character creating or griefers and trolls who want to get into a server faster to mess around with the player base. The troll Steves don’t usually last long, as they get removed from the servers pretty quickly, and the Steves who didn’t know character creation existed would at some point regret that they haven’t payed enough attention at the start and are now forced to play with a character that is as basic as their
personality.
The term Steve originates from the game Minecraft, where the default character skin would be a simple man by the name of Steve with simple clothing.
