savetheearth, characters - often known as "Numbered" in-game - receive memories in the form of "Echoes." While Stefan received seventeen Echoes over the course of his time in StE, he continues to receive Echoes through his augment in Drift Fleet!
To read about the Echoes he earned in StE, check his info post.
Changes from Canon:
→ Have a Little Faith: Stefan was raised half-Christian, half-Muslim, but formally reverted when he was eighteen years old. His faith is by far the biggest thing that separates him from canon!Stefan, as it influences not only romantic relationships & dietary habits, but also little details (murmuring prayers, saying bismillah when he enters a room, taking his shoes off at the door).
→ Trilingual and Proud: Stefan is now fluent in English, Italian, and Arabic. Arabic is his native tongue, and should the translators fail, Fleet people will realize he speaks it all the time. He also tellingly writes in Arabic, more so in his diaries than in public.
→ Older and Wiser: Stefan was physically 22 when he was turned into a vampire. [Icon-wise, this means nothing.]
→ Family Means Ohana: Stefan Alesci has two siblings - Damon Alesci (a heart surgeon) and Olette Alesci (a high school student). He also has a sister-in-law, Bonnie Bennett, and a young niece, Inara Alesci. (Alesci's parents are also alive and well, though only mentioned in the context of grandbabies.) He's incredibly close to them, and won't stand for people insulting them.
(Canonically, he has an older brother in Damon Salvatore; all other family members are out of the picture.)
→ For Science!: His Princeton degree is in EEB (Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) and he was a second year medical student insavetheearth. Stefan is a huge biology nerd, relating his medical knowledge to his current predicament (and sometimes, the conclusions he draws aren't so great). His biggest priority: to get his hands on the cure for vampirism so that he can re-create it in his lab.
→ Tealust: Until he remembers the Ripper, Stefan's bloodlust has been subdued; instead, he's chemically addicted to caffeine (specifically, black tea with milk). While he's not much for coffee, he almost always has a mug of tea in hand.
→ Friends are My Power: Heavily, heavily believes in the power of friendship and communication between friends. Doesn't like to hole himself up unless he's really depressed about something and/or writing about something in his diaries. That said, he's picky about who he befriends.
→ Jersey Pride: Stefan Alesci was raised in Locke City, New Jersey and is subsequently super proud of where he lived. Currently, he lives in Amman, Jordan (thanks alien invasion); in PSLs, he attends medical school in New Dale, Georgia.
→ Item Synthesis: Acquired in-game; Stefan can now re-create gels from the Tales Of series. If you ever need apple, orange, pineapple, lemon, or melange gels? This is your guy. Gels don't heal serious, life-threatening injuries, but they otherwise work according to Tales principles.
→ Underwater Breathing: Acquired in-game; Stefan can now magically breathe underwater, as a result of assisting the Dasioe in March 2017.

Key Memories He Lacks:
- Most Ripper memories. (He remembers Lexi slamming him into a car door, and he remembers being addicted to something "worse than black tea." He doesn't know much beyond that.)
- Memories of the Mikaelson clan [any mention of them will not register in his brain]
- Memories of his intense hatred for Tyler Lockwood (He knows he hates Tyler. He's not sure what the poor werewolf did to deserve it.)
- Memories of Damon & Elena's romantic relationship.
- How he and Elena broke up to begin with.
- Memories beyond his technical canonpoint (
5x226x05) - Early childhood (from 1847-1864) memories, as well as most memories prior to 2009
