Steven lived in a fairly normal home in a smaller lower-middle class apartment complex on the outskirts of Phoenix with his family; it was largely marked by the usual crisis of culture that many in the NAN faced, especially in the corporate PCC. It was this tearing between trying to compete in the corporate world and trying to honor their heritage that gave Steven a less-than perfect study of his Apache line.

That made the vision he had at 15 come to such a shock to him; though he was aware of magic from the media, the vision was of a being that introduced himself as Coyote, the Trickster. Coyote told the young boy that he was one of the lucky ones; he had the potential to be a shaman. Steven was confused, and woke up in a cold sweat. Though he tried to get help from his father, the older man was wrapped up in his work. Steven's father seemed more interested in the idea that the teen had Talent and what this meant for the family's fortunes.

Over the next few weeks, Steven would be visited by Coyote in his dreams every now and then; as he talked with the spirit, he spent some of his school time researching the spirit. Armed with the knowledge of what he could be and just what Coyote was, Steven made plans to sneak out into the desert the next weekend and endure what his research called a vision quest, to understand more of his Talent and what Coyote was offering.

However, Steven's family found itself in a horrible twist of luck. The landlord of the complex had gotten himself in debt to the Koshare syndicate that was slowly feeling its power. After weeks of threats for repayment, some of the young turks in the syndicate took matters into their own hands and decided to burn the complex down to send a message.

That was the night that Steven went on his vision quest. He returned in time to see a few men running away from his burning home. Though he was weak from the quest, Steven dove head first into the inferno to try and get his parents out, even tapping into the budding Talent that Coyote was granting him. Though he was able to get a few people to safety, the fire was too great for him to get to his parents. He was dragged out by firefighters nearly dead from smoke inhalation. He never found his parents.

Over the next few weeks, he was interviewed by police who were interested in the Koshare and what they'd done. Realizing that he was now a witness, he panicked. Gathering up his few remaining possessions, the teen ran from the city, hitchhiking randomly in a blind attempt to get anywhere out of Phoenix.

His luck, whether ill or good, landed him in Seattle after a week of stashing in a smuggler's T-Bird. Alone, lost and hungry, the young shaman planned his next trip when he ran into an Amerind in his late teens running from a Stuffer Shack. Steven followed the criminal, a bit dazed but mostly latching on to what he considered a familiar face. This chance encounter brought Steven to the territory of the First Nations gang. Sensing a kindred spirit, the gang took him in.

Over the next decade, Steven, dubbing himself Coyote Kid for his handle, grew within the gang's family. One of his closest friends within the gang was a lieutenant named White Wolf, the teen he followed initially. The gang gave him a sense of belonging, including a healthy training of street smarts and in touch with his AmerInd roots, even if it was a mish-mash of multiple tribes into a generic AmerInd culture that the gang exhibited. With this urban AmerInd coloring to his training, he was able to continue down Coyote's path, becoming an Urban Trickster of sorts.

There was one sticking point that drove an ever increasing wedge between Steven and the gang; their continued affiliation with the Yakuza ring. He felt they were being used by the Yaks, his own prejudice against syndicate organized crime due to his parent's deaths adding fuel to the argument. This burr kept him on the fringes of the gang, taking part only in those operations that had nothing to do with the Yaks, even staying out of the feud with the Choson Ring.

As he was ending up further and further out of the loop with the gang, Steven found another way to use his talents; the lure of Shadowrunning offered a chance to use his Talent. With White Wolf's help, he began to do a few runs on the side of helping with the First Nations, setting up his own Street Handle as Acme and running a few minor runs.

This lasted until his final break with the gang in 2068; the leadership was questioning his loyalty, and he felt that the gang was becoming less like the family that he joined a decade ago. Though he maintained contact with a few members of the gang he considered family like White Wolf, he moved full-time into running.

Today, he is still a mid-time runner, held back slightly by his refusal to do any job for a syndicate and his Coyote nature that left other Johnsons feeling he was a loose cannon. Nevertheless, Acme has scratched his way to some respect within the magical community.
