APPEARANCE
Eye Colour: Dark brown; so dark it's almost black.
Hair Colour/Style: very, very pale, almost white, and hand-cut into a messy, soft halo around his head.
Skin Colour: the pale of someone who hasn't seen much sunlight in the past couple years.
Clothing Style/Colours: His style was always salvation army and thrift store finds, and stays that way -- most of it in shades of khaki green, grey, and black because that's what's easy to find, mixed with crazy punk items dug out of sales bins because they're interesting. He wears a lot of hats, and a lot of layers, designed to make the angular skinniness of his body less obvious.
PERSONALITY
Ever's nose -- the bend in the bridge, the way he tips his head slightly to look down it -- says a lot about him in one single glance. Combined with a sliding-sideways smile and his inability to just keep his mouth shut when he should keep his mouth shut, the overall effect is that of someone who most people want to punch.
And a lot of people have.
It's the look of a home-schooled Christian boy who went from raising goats in the back property of his parents' Montana home to finding his own way on the streets of a big city with no money and no sense of self. The attitude of a small-town kid trying to act like he's bigger than he is, and knows more than he does.
In general, it works: people remember him for his big mouth and his apparent inability to take anything seriously. They remember him for short-lived relationships, a week spent on someone's couch, for drinking too much and being an a*****e that one time at a friend's party, and then spouting Sartre [inappropriately] at the top of his lungs. None of it is flattering, but at the very least it's a way for him to shape his own image to those around him.
The surface motives are remarkably simple. It's what's underneath that becomes more complex. A desire to be noticed and accepted fuels his often-too-loud personality [he's impossible to ignore]. Fear of commitment is the true cause for his inappropriate outbursts [the perfect way to drive people away again, before they can hurt him]. And, in the end, his efforts to manipulate the people around him stem from one basic, fatal flaw -- which is just how easy it is to manipulate Ever.
DEITY
Ever has a natural skill at languages. By the time he entered college, he was comfortable in English & French [his father's native language] as well as being able to read/write in both Latin & Greek. Since then, he's picked up a decent amount of Spanish -- enough to make himself understood and to understand others -- as well as some Italian and Portuguese.
This talent for communication across the lines of language make him a perfect choice for Hermes.
