He was always considered the baby of the family, especially compared to his brothers. When the Call to save Imagination came, Stirling signed up, and followed Duke Exter, to "The starts above." He saw it as a chance to gain "much honor" for his family, and perhaps to try and shine on his own, which he succeeded rather well in, becoming a valued member of the Sentinels. Upon arriving back on Militeregnum while on shore leave, he discovered that his beloved homeland had been conquered by thedude. He then searched for his lost family members, amidst the silent turmoil of thedude's Tyranny. Along the way, Stirling becomes willingly embroiled in the not unrelated scattered underground resistance against thedude's reign. He becomes a prominent, (but not nessecarily key) member of the true Patriots of Morcia, eventually crossing paths with the Valorous KOTOS.

Appearance:

Stirling has neatly cut, straight, dark brown Hair, that when wet or in bad lighting may be mistaken for black. He shaves his beard. He has solid blue eyes, and a sturdy, battle-trained body to match.

Personality:

Stirling is first and foremost, Loyal. Loyal to his family, his friends, and to the Nexus Force, so long as it remains a power of Justice. Stirling believes that the best reason to fight is "To protect the freedom of others...". This often goes hand in hand with Justice, so as long as The Nexus Force is a part of that effort, so is Stirling.

Lastly, Stirling has a severely overdeveloped sense of responsibility. He oftentimes considers that if he is capable of doing good for someone or something, it is his duty to do so. He cannot ignore it.

Bottom Line? Marvel's Captain America is a fairly good comparison, Personality wise.

Abilities and Powers:

Stirling is not one with hidden talents, unless virtues are talents. He does not like those with 'special powers', often considering them 'pampered' or given an easy way out of problems, when one should suffer through them to learn... He does not like to believe in fate, otherworldly forces, or other ethereal items of conspiracy. He believes Skill is what matters most in a battle, and that Sheer Power is never enough.

Quotes:

"So, this wizard, cast a very powerful spell across the land, that caused Electricity to simply not work, one way or another. The best way it's been explained to me was--and I know this sounds ludicrous-- like invisible energy vampires in the air." -Stirling, explaining the enchantment on Militeregnum, which rendered electricity inert.

""This is Stirling Silverstine, son of Harrison Silverstine, Son of Sir Harris, conqueror of the Scary Mountain's heart. Tell me, why do you blockade Militeregnum? " - Stirling, talking to a Blockade officer, upon arriving at Militeregnum.

"SQUIRREL!" - Stirling, to waken Peragrine and his Flareguns.

"No guards. What a place." -Stirling, upon visiting Calibus Estate.

"By the Stars...Little brother, is it really you?"

"It truly is, Austin.I have returned from the stars."

"Did you find much glory?"

"No. Much Honor!" - Austin and Stirling, Brothers, meeting at Calibus Tower, after many years.

Stirling in Act 5 of To Return Home

"No. I will NOT be late. I WILL find you, Father. I will find everyone. I have already found Austin, and soon we will all be home, laughing together around one table. Home." - Stirling, contemplating his worst fears.    

"I'LL TAKE THEM BACK! YOU HEAR!!!", - Stirling's unhinged anger at thedude's thorough sacking of Silverstine Keep.

Trivia:

• Stirling Silverstine was originally created on the MMOG, LEGO Universe, but I have now repeatedly used him in other MMOG's and Video games. This has allowed him to grow in character, with the many different situations and choices he's made...
• Stirling has always been purposefully underpowered. I find that being constantly out-gunned increases one's character. :P When doing a Star Wars Jedi Version of Stirling, for Knights of the Old Republic he outright refused to be taught the Force, calling it stupid... Thought the narrative eventually forced him into it, and it turned out Stirling was the epitome of a Perfect Light-side Jedi!!! :O
• On a whim, I decided to see what an overpowered Stirling, Peragrine, and Mortimer looked like. Stirling didn't change much, Peragrine became even more irresistible... Mortimer became... unnerving. Note to self: NEVER give Mortimer Limitless Power!!! :O *lightning bolts*
