Personalities: Evan suffers from PTSD as a result of the events that led to his discharge from the military. The desire to establish the same camaraderie with the other hunters that he had with his fellow Marines exists, but those he was closest to kept him at arm’s length after the incident; he’s wary of letting anyone get too close to him, but will make the effort to at least be friendly. However, even those who get to know him will find him to be soft spoken, respectful and polite with a subtle sense of humor that manifests itself without warning.
Evan learned a different set of standards in the military, a certain level of morality and honor that he maintains even now. He’s more of a follower than a leader and won‘t question an order unless it blatantly falls on the wrong side of the line. Evan retains the
Semper Fi mentality and would happily lay his life on the line for any of his fellow hunters, especially the ones in his division, regardless of the situation.
As a part of Evan’s therapy, he took up a number of hobbies before settling on one: cooking. Evan’s PTSD can occasionally make him go through bouts of emotional instability where he can be anxious, irritable, or downright mean. It’s not something he wants other people to see, and he’s not always proud of his actions when his mood takes a turn for the worse. He can usually be found in the kitchen when he’s going through a bad fit. He finds the act to be soothing, and it takes up enough of his attention that it keeps him from dwelling too much on the past.
Gwrgenau is the ray of sunshine to Evan’s rain cloud. Relentlessly cheerful, he takes it upon himself to pull Evan out of the dark places in his mind. Gwrgenau was a pack animal before he became a weapon; he understands the importance of interacting and communicating with your peers, even if Evan no longer does. He acts as both partner and therapist, encouraging Evan to crawl out of the shell he’s hidden himself in and rejoin the world.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? Evan joined the US Marines straight out of high school. During his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, his convoy was attacked on a routine patrol by insurgents with homemade RPGs. When his squad mates left their jeeps to return fire, several of them were shot down. Evan saw his friends injured and dying around him--and he also saw the shadows hovering over some of them as they drew their last breaths. Outraged and terrified, Evan shot at the specters. While he didn’t hit any of his squad mates, he was later held accountable for firing at them in the first place.
In defense of his actions, Evan told his commanding officers everything--not only what had happened on patrol, but about the shadows he had seen. Evan’s life changed drastically in the months that followed. His superiors thought him crazy, and he was discharged from the military and forced to undergo psychiatric treatment. His family took him in but treated him like a powder keg just waiting to explode. The girlfriend that he had intended to propose to when he got home left him without a word. Worst of all, the shadows were still there, a mocking reminder of everything he had lost.
Evan had nothing left to lose.
He knew he wasn’t crazy, even though everyone around him seemed to think otherwise, so when a man came to visit him who believed what he had to say and offered him the opportunity to fight against the creatures that had ruined his life, Evan took it.
Evan sees Deus as the end of the line. Having been effectively kicked out of the military, Evan considers Deus an opportunity to redeem himself, to do something worthwhile with his life. He feels that he has nothing left to lose and will be the first to volunteer for every mission, knowing that it could be his last. He was willing to lay down his life in service country; although that is no longer an option, he is equally willing to die in the fight against Halloween, desperate for some kind of validation--and revenge.
