### Item of Most Value

His Silver Locket

**TW/CW: Everan is a drug dealer. There is mentions of substance, addiction, drug abuse, racism, physical disability, and PTSD. He also is sorting through mental trauma and is a therapist. The dark topics are merely meant to further the story and explain certain aspects of his personality and feelings towards events. All events are fictitious and do not reflect upon his creator, DM, and people within the campaign.**

"Yeah, let's go with pharmacist." - Everan

## Appearance

Everan is 6'8 or 203 cm and weighs 190 lbs or 86 kg. He has a willowy build, much like a gymnast or dancer. His hair is long enough to be tied into a small ponytail, coloured a dark blue-green. He has extremely pale skin, veins visible through it. He favors darker colored clothing, wearing blues and greens often. His eyes are a light grey; they do not reflect anything. Everan also has a scar across his lip, but it's almost always covered by his mask. His wings are a dark green-black and can comfortably fold under his clothing when needed. He usually wears a jacket to keep them concealed, rather annoyed with how unwieldy they are. Everan also wears a mask with air filters to constantly keep his supply of air clean. He wears long gloves that reach to his elbows, but these are often off and in his pocket.

He also has a silver disk locket with a picture of his family inside of it.

## Personality

Everan is quiet and impulsive. Vienna noted he "seem[s like] the type to accidentally provoke so many people, and narrowly avoid life-threatening consequences." Everan's pettiness and easily provoked nature helps him make irrational decisions, often to provoke the Atlas Cartel or anyone he deems an enemy. He's aware of how fast he had to grow up, and has a strong dislike of disease and drugs. He doesn't discuss his past openly, but is aware of his youth's struggles. He often has PTSD hallucinations leading to quiet panic/anxiety attacks. He's done his best to confront his trauma, but hasn't really tackled the main issues.

When asked about his past, he'll glare and give curt answers. If he willingly opens up about it, he'll purposefully omit certain details. His views of certain events are slightly skewed, due to his youth and the traumatic nature of such events.

Everan can be quite sarcastic and cynical, though it's noted he prefers to mutter these things under his breath or whisper them to the nearest individual. He also takes every opportunity to capitalize, offering drugs to further his business. However, the drugs he distributes as gifts aren't necessarily safe unless otherwise stated. He's quite the business person, often persuading people to buy from him or give better deals. He's also quite apathetic, working to make sure he won't *die*, but not really caring what condition he's in so long as he lives.

Surprisingly, he's quite sentimental and empathetic. Everan collects trinkets and souvenires from adventures to remember them by. He's also an effective therapist, helping out clients with and without medication. He genuinely doesn't want people to hurt more than they should. He also really likes music, having a song form most-- if not all-- occasions.

Everan used to abide strictly to his constitution. However, it's constantly being amended to suit his needs and situations. When he made the deal with the devil, he made a Moral Conduct. This will not be edited.

–

Xiphus is rather similar to Everan but respects power more than his present self. He’s also harsher with his words and more snappy, completely and utterly willing and ready to tell people to shut up. He focuses less on morals and more on staying alive. He’s willing to kill– something Everan is reluctant to do. He’s a bit judgier and less open than his current “counterpart.”

### Proficiencies

- Vehicles (Water)

- Med Kit

- All simple weapons

- He speaks Common

### Additional Features & Traites

He is acquainted with a network of smugglers/drug cartels who are willing to help you out of tight situations. While in a particular town, city, or other similarly sized community (DM's discretion), they (himself and the rest of the party) can stay for free in safe houses. Safe houses provide a poor lifestyle. While staying at a safe house, he can choose to keep your presence (and that of your companions) a secret.

## Before Joining the Hunters

### Lomen City

Xiphus was born the eldest son of his family. He had a younger sister who was born when he was two. They got along very well and when he was three and she was one, the family went to take a picture. It was put into a locket for his mother to wear around her neck. She promised him he'd eventually inherit it from her and he promised he'd take care of it when that happened.

Xiphus enjoyed roaming Lomen City, particularly taking interest in the potion shops. He learned basic terms when he was four, and paraded around glad that he felt useful. He was given a little pouch of leaves and berries, often spending hours pretending he was a great healer who everyone looked up to. The townspeople humoured him, often coming to him "hurt" so he could help heal their wounds.

On the eve of his fifth birthday, Xiphus awoke to find his family dead. There was a disease going around-- one no one had a name for. It was swift and deadly, claiming the lives of healthy people in a single night. The boy stayed by his parents' bedside for several days, singing "Happy Birthday" to himself, waiting for them to wake up. Their bodies only got colder. Eventually, he stood, intending to find food. Realizing his parents weren't going to wake up, he took the locket from his mother and set off to figure out a new life.

The townspeople who were so kind to him before now shunned him, often chasing him away from their shops. One old man gave him a spot to stay for a little while, but when he passed from disease, Xiphus decided to pursue a bigger city and flee from all his heartache. **(The townspeople did not shun him. They were also killed by the disease, including the old man. Xiphus's own mind made up people and forced himself out of the dead city.)**

### The Streets

Xiphus roamed the streets eating what he could find. He often stole bits of clothing off clotheslines, dressing in stolen coats and pants. He was fond of the colour pink, wearing a soft pink jacket with chocolate brown trim. He continued to study and pursue medicine through stolen textbooks and hanging around healers. He adopted a cat near one of the healer's homes. She helped him steal things like food, and he fed her and helped out whenever she was injured. Mimicking and practising medical techniques he learned how to bind wounds with strips of old cloth. He named her Eve, the two of them becoming inseparable.

Xiphus was attacked by law enforcement and arrested for being homeless and non-human. Since he wasn't human, they put him in a special containment cell designed to hold down monsters. There were bigger and more dangerous individuals, including several other Chimera Ants and a Tabaxi. They weren't unkind to him, as he was a child still five. Instead, they were angered by the blatant racism law enforcement had shown. While most of the non-human inmates were protective over Xiphus, there were a number of human inmates who'd look down upon him.

He grew angry around humans and formed positive connotations with the ideas of Chimera Ants. His closest friend was a Chimera Ant moth, though he was accidentally killed during an uproar from the human prisoners. They demanded the non-humans be moved to another facility so they'd have more room to house their growing numbers. During the transit, Xiphus escaped by slipping between the guards.

He adopted a moth charm onto his locket chain, though it's not often visible at first glance.

His cat was ultimately killed by a couple of gang members around the city. Without the extra help to find food, Xiphus ultimately curled up in an alley and expected to die. He was lonely and sad, nearing his birthday. Xiphus vowed to never celebrate his birthday if he survived this one, figuring it was unnecessary and led to too much heartache. He was picked up by a runner who brought him to the boss of the Atlas Cartel since he was invading their territory by sleeping in the alleyway.

### Atlas Cartel

Xiphus was picked up by the Atlas Cartel. Instead of killing him, they put him to work. He was tasked with helping the healers and running drugs back and forth. He became quite knowledgeable in the medical field, able to perform practical first aid and work with medications. He developed several rudimentary painkillers before working with poisons and expanding his knowledge of drugs. He enjoyed the addictive properties of substances, figuring it'd be a good way to keep people under control.

He became close friends with a man named Saphus. Saphus was the chief fighter and often helped him with his self-defense. Since he wasn't human, Xiphus was able to hold his own and overpower the older man. Xiphus enjoyed his time with Saphus, viewing him as a strong fatherly figure in his life. **(Saphus was neglectful and harsh towards Everan, but due to his youth and desire for a strong fatherly figure, he believes Saphus was a saint. Saphus did not lay a hand on Everan.)**

When he was nine, he began to handle more deliveries. Armed with a knife, he made countless deliveries around the city. Most were not easy and he often came home bruised. He broke several bones during his runs, often setting and splinting them himself. They've since healed, but sometimes ache when over-exerted. He wasn't treated very well by the cartel, often going hungry and working for little to no pay. However, they did take care of him and kept him alive.

When Saphus turned 20 he was sent on a mission to negotiate for more land with a rival cartel. It went badly and he was presumed dead. Xiphus was 10, devastated and completely heartbroken. Without Saphus's restraint, Xiphus lashed out more at other cartel members. They disliked and shunned him, however, he managed to overpower most of them due to his non-human physiology and superior strength.

Despite the mistreatment, Xiphus quickly rose in the ranks of the Atlas cartel, garnering the praise and recognition of the boss. When he was 14, he was granted a portion of land to create a sister cartel, focused more on substances and smuggling elicit goods. Xiphus accepted, desperate to leave the cartel.

### Eve's Cartel

After leaving the Atlas Cartel, he founded Eve's Cartel. Xiphus became caught up in the rush of power, removing those who didn't agree with him. It wasn't his favourite activity, as he didn't like violence as much. Those who were removed were kicked out of the cartel with only a pocket knife to defend themself. Since Eve's Cartel was still slightly protected by the Atlas Cartel, his influence grew. Xiphus still held hope that Saphus was still alive and devoted resources to try and find him. Many men were sent out on missions but came back without luck.

Xiphus resigned himself to accepting Saphus was dead, focusing his energy on the cartel. He established underground trade ports and lines of resources. Everything ran smoothly for several years, and anyone who doubted him due to his age mysteriously disappeared. Xiphus proved himself to be incredibly capable, moving forward to adopt a more apathetic viewpoint of the cartel. It was a job that he felt disconnected from. Unlike his coworkers, Xiphus remained clean. He didn't want to depend on anything for his well-being.

Xiphus also made more poisons. He developed several lethal brews strong enough to kill most beings, though his intent was never to use them. He wanted to heal people instead. Within a year, he had outperformed the Atlas Cartel and furthered his research. Xiphus developed medications for headaches and nightmares, focusing his treatments to be more mental and less physical. He developed a mild painkiller for his old injuries and only takes them when absolutely necessary. It was about this time when he began wearing gloves to give him a more distinguished air.

He grew to be untouchable in a very short amount of time, angering the Atlas Cartel. To combat his stress about being caught or seen, he stayed inside his room and office for the majority of the time. Overall, he didn't venture outside for five months, assisting the development of his mild agoraphobia. He was scared of being made helpless, only allowing his closest advisors to even enter his room. When he turned fifteen, the cartel didn't know as he never told them. In jest, they tried to pick a day to celebrate his birthday, and he snapped accidentally killing several of them. No one attempted to celebrate his birthday afterwards. (Xiphus will omit this particular point of violence in most retellings.)

Xiphus began developing an acid to eat through most materials, intending to ship it out in a glass container for profit. He found it amusing that glass was the only material his acid could not dissolve, but willingly admits the usefulness of that fact. He also developed a stronger painkiller, enough to numb a controlled section of the body.

He adopted another cat, calling her Red. Throughout his time with the Eve cartel, Xiphus adopted and helped many animals. He would release them when they were well enough to leave, oftentimes checking up on them. He's lost count, but so far there have been 16 birds, 32 cats, 12 dogs, 15 other animals, and 8 "magical" animals.

A couple of years passed since he had left the Atlas Cartel. Xiphus was the owner of one of the largest and strongest cartels. He was doing better mentally, having dealt with most of what he had gone through as a child. Xiphus had also heard a rumour there was a new boss of the cartel who had taken on the name of Atlas. Viewing it a bit presumptuous, Xiphus began to go by Eve as a mockery of it. (In any recounting of this story, Xiphus will deny he ever went by "Eve.") He began to expand his business more without fear the Atlas Cartel would shut him down. His network of people grew, ensuring he'd have an ally in most areas he travelled around. Xiphus also began to venture outside more, hanging around areas he knew were predominantly Atlas territory.

He often flew around, enjoying the feeling of surveying everything below him. Flying became a pass time of his, often when he felt claustrophobic or when he needed to clear his head. Other than these trips, he often tucked his wings under a long jacket to conceal them from other people. His butterfly physiology was often overlooked when conducting business, often because of his gun and bodyguards.

He decided to create a new identity under the name Everan now that everything was working out. In doing so, this is the line of the divide between “Everan” and “Xiphus.”

### Imprisonment & Torture

Everan pushed his way further into Atlas territory, eventually being captured by Atlas members. Believing he could simply talk his way out of the situation, he wasn't alarmed. However, when he was brought before the new Atlas leader, he was met with hostility. The new leader, a girl so painfully familiar to him, was harsh and unforgiving. In her mind, he had violated the conduct of trust their cartels had with each other. Instead of letting him go, he was locked in one of the highest security cells.

Everan was annoyed in the small cell space, demanding to be let out. He had a little bit of his substances on him, viewing those as a method of escape. However, several members of the cartel entered and took everything he had on his person and took care to restrain him, cuffing his hands and feet to the ground. In order to not damage his wings too badly, they bound them to his back. Everan grew angry, vowing to bring down the Atlas cartel.

A hooded man entered his room, revealing himself to be Saphus. Everan was taken to a larger room that he recognized as one of the main training rooms for new recruits. He demanded an explanation from Saphus, but was ignored. The older man called several others into the room and dictated a training exercise of which they had to not get kicked by the "prisoner" and land a hit every time they ran a lap around the room. Everan objected, but was quieted with a kick to the throat. The training lasted multiple months with new rounds of recruits swapped out every week. Eventually the exercise was halted as Everan lashed out and injured too many members.

After it was canceled Everan demanded to talk to Atlas. Surprisingly, they granted his request and she walked into the training room. After inspecting his wounds and remarking that she was glad to see his wings still intact, Atlas allowed him to ask her several questions. Everan demanded to know her name before Atlas, and she looked at him in surprise. She smiled at him, before asking why her older brother didn't recognize her. Reeling in shock, he realized his sister Yara must've also survived the disease and was now here to torment him. He asks why, and she simply tells him, "It was all in good fun, with the revelation to how sweet power really is." Yara then left, telling him he shouldn't make friends or form emotional attachments.

Saphus returns to take over another training round, this time for new prospective medical students and those fit for developing new poisons. Everan was forced to try multiple poisons and antidotes, often leaving him dizzy and weak. Several of the students were proficient enough for Everan to teach, and he did so at night. They wanted to further their own knowledge and he was willing to assist them if they helped him escape. They were also former prisoners, sympathizing with Everan. He saw they didn't really want this life, and instead, were tangled in it like him. He began finishing one of his formulas for an explosive chemical bomb with their help.

Everan was subjected to multiple rounds of chemical tests becoming heavily dependent on Venenum, a painkiller with a calming effect, to finish his work. It allowed him to push himself beyond natural limitations of tiredness and pain. Everan finished his bomb a little over a year into imprisonment. He set off the bomb to break out of his cell and began his rampage.

Everan managed to get his hands on a gun, shooting everyone in sight. Most shots were non-lethal, but served as enough of a warning to leave. Everan was shot in the leg twice, while he was cleaning out the rooms. He allowed the three students who helped him to go, promising them he'd find them later to help them get back on their feet outside of the cartel life. The three-- Crux, Dexy, and Kase-- thanked him and set off on their own lives. Everan emptied the Atlas Cartel's numbers to fulfill his promise of bringing down the cartel. Finding Saphus and Yara in the backrooms, he yelled at Saphus for betraying him before shooting him. Finally, a ghost from his past was laid to rest.

Yara turned to him, looking him in the eye. She explained she had no where else to go, and when Saphus told her to do something, she did without question. He had told her to imprison Everan and perform the tests. Everan listened in horror, realizing she too had betrayed him and was now refusing to own up to her actions. She told him she loved him, and that he shouldn't kill anymore. Everan told Yara that he wouldn't listen to her as he didn't trust her. Yara firmly reiterated she was to be the last death he truly had his hand in, and pulled the trigger herself.

Everan buried her body under a cherry tree, similar to one they used to play in when they were little. He celebrates her every year on her death day. He doesn't kill unless necessary, believing Yara did not have his best interests at heart.

### After Breaking Out

Everan exited the Atlas Cartel base, roughly sixteen now. He got in contact with Dexy, crashing at her place for a little while. While he was there, he began to break his addiction to Venenum. He also tended to his wounds, giving Dexy money to get back on her feet and helping her open and run a flower shop. Kase came after a little while, helping Dexy run her shop. Everan was relived, not wanting to leave her alone. He talked to Kase about his difficulty speaking and breathing-- Kase was attending school to become a doctor-- and they found he was suffering from bruised vocal cords. They were slow in healing, but eventually he made a full recovery. Everan then adopted a mask into his outfit to help filter air and to help disguise his identity. He asked Kase if he knew where Crux was, and when he was given a location, left to find him.

Crux was running a small veterinary clinic, and Everan dropped by often. He also began to write up his constitution, adhering to "strict" specific laws while allowing others to be more loose. Crux and Everan remained fairly close, even when the latter left for the hunter exam.

Everan also shut down most of Eve's Cartel, focusing only on weapons and less on drugs. The only ones he sells are more medicinal, and less harmful unless a poison or explosive are specifically requested. He has mostly broken his addiction, and he been clean since he left the cartels. He became a proficient healer. Everan began schooling again, having learned most things from the different cartels as part of his education. He studied medicine and psychology for a year at a fairly well-known college.

Everan has mild PTSD in regard to his former experiences with the cartels and living on the street. He also has much repressed trauma from when he was little and the punishments he was subjected to. Everan also has frequent nightmares.

Everan went to pursue the hunter exam in order to turn over a new leaf in his book.

## Hunter Exam

### Meeting Everyone

Everan was a bit apprehensive, figuring he should have allies in his new surroundings. Yua was suffering from a headache, and he offered her a headache reliever as an extension of companionship. She accepted and the two gradually became close. Everan immediately disliked Kyouma, deeming him too loud and obnoxious. To him, Kyouma was a version of Sapphus waiting to snap. Even though he saw Kyouma as a potential valuable asset-- he wasn't quite ready to risk everything for him, yet. Vienna intrigued Everan. He wasn't sure if she was an ally or not, but decided he didn't want to be on her bad side. Everan also failed to truly notice Alvox, Basil, and Aspect brushing over him when he scanned the room. He was too uncomfortable being under the ship and wanted to go upwards as soon as possible.

While fighting off the pirates, Everan wanted to fly to shore. However, he wasn't able to dodge all the flying projectiles and threw one of his crossbow bolts instead. The rival pirate was obnoxious, leading Everan to the belief that anything loud was bad. He hid behind Yua's more durable wings to protect himself for the majority of the fight. Kyouma was injured, and Everan healed him for a small price. He did obtain a couple vials of Kyouma's blood, finding it to be useful. Everan also found a dangling sailor on the edge of the boat, and promised to free him if he gave him information. Upon receiving the information, Everan freed the sailor from the boat by casting him into the water below. **(Since DM never said the sailor died, I'm taking the liberty to say he didn't. Everan saw this and was relived since he intent was never to kill someone else.)**

When they reached the small "town," Everan began to atempt to sell his wares. He wasn't sure how to behave and received Pey during his time underground. Everan was uncomfortable, though he disguised it. Basil flirted with one of the people, and Everan immediately lost most respect for them. He didn't approve of them trying to find another life outside of the "honor" of being a hunter. In his mind, he was to put the mission above himself. Currently, the mission was getting above ground.

### Trials

Everan and the party passed through the trials. He disregarded a majority of them, often relying on Yua for physical power. When the group encountered a Mimic, he began to help the creature overdose on substance. Kyouma and Basil were trying to tame it, but Everan wanted it out of his business. Yua began to viciously attack the mimc when it bit him, leading him to trust her a tiny bit more. He wasn't used to people risking themselves for him. His arm was badly injured, and after the creature died, he began tending to it with Yua's help. He asked Vienna for assistance, but was denied since he didn't want to pay her for her services. Everan received part of the dead creature, taking it for a future potion.

When climbing the tower with multiple rooms, Everan opted to climb rather than fly. He mentioned to Yua how much he wanted a bat, and when she got one for him, the entire swarm attacked. He swapped his morals with Pey and Niv several times, leading to one of the more humorous edits to his constitution. The party was understandably upset with him, but moved to defeat the bats without much trouble. When he was near the top of the ladder, Vienna (who was directly above him) kicked him down several feet. He was upset, but found it slightly funny and flew the rest of the way up.

The party reached a room with four sections with the only objective being escaping. The floor was covered in oil, and at the party's decision to flood part of the room with the dark tar-like oil, Everan began flying to avoid it. He also picked up Vienna and flew the two of them to the exit. The final room greeted them with a gas to knock out everyone in the party. Everan's mask filtered his air and he was alarmed when Yua and Vienna collapsed by him. Everan began looking for a way out, but a masked man came and knocked him out with a swift hit to the head.

Kyouma lay in a cage, suspended. Every member of the part had to sacrifice something important to them. Everan watched as Yua gave up her scarf and listened when Alvox gave a story of his village. he figured he'd only have to say one word, but was having a hard time speaking due to nerves, his vocal cord condition, and dislike of what he was going to say. Eventually, he mustered up the courage to mutter his old name, Xiphus.

Everan stood there, quiet when Kyouma was released. He was attempting to calm himself down, on the verge of a panic attack. Every detail about Lomen City, Yara, and Saphus were rushing back to him. Vienna reached out and ruffled his hair, calming him down and slightly shocking him. He wasn't used to physical touches, and their attempt to calm him worked. He begrudgingly turned back to the party, firmly reiterating they were not to refer to him by his old name, ever.

His constitution was also modified several times throughout the exam, though his untouchable clauses remain untouched.

### Departure

Aspect declared Everan and them friends. Everan wasn't sure how to react, but told them they were protected by the friend clauses in his constitution. He then turned to Vienna, telling her she was protected by the main one. There is a little note in the margins of the paper to remind him which one.

Everan also told Vienna he'd be in touch through Kir, the messenger crow. He decided they interested him, and reminded himself they had merely calmed him down once. He didn't completely trust her, but was on a closer level of acquaintanceship. He and Kyouma also made plans for therapy sessions, as Everan decided to work on becoming a therapist for extra money. They agreed to meet twice over the next year.

He and Yua also decided to live together, departing from the party and taking to the skies. He found himself viewing Yua more as a sister. Not like Yara, his younger sister, but as an older sister whom he considered himself close with. He had grown to rely heavily on her, finding they complimented each other well and covered for each other's weaknesses.

## Time Skip

### Living with Yua

Some time during the time skip, Everan got a dog. The dog-- Kel-- was named by Crux in an unmentioned letter between the two. He recounts having to learn how to take care of the pet in his letters to Vienna. He and Kel have an undeniably strong bond, and Everan takes great joy in taking care of her.

Yua mentions her truama

Talking to Dubaku (what has yua been up too? tells what actually happened)

Confronting Yua

Hurting his wing

Confessing to Yua

Yua and him meeting Crux (Crux tells her he's been downplaying everything)

Yua confronts Everan

### Letters to Vienna

Everan used Kir to send Vienna letters. The two of them talked a lot over the break, slowly warming up to one another. Vienna began calling him "Ev" and he called them "V" in writing. The letters are attached below in the same format the two sent them in.

> hey vienna . I found this flower and it made a really good addicting potion. I made money. How've you been?

> well, you look at your feet, you look around. you know you're Somewhere. even if you don't know where somewhere is. guess that means i'm not lost either. flying seems like.. almost a dream, i'll be honest. being awkwardly carried from under your armpits is a very different experience than what it seems to be. freeing, maybe. you're enough of a doctor to fix yours yourself, surely? --v ***postscript. care to send over some more? i'm mildly concerned that you're planning to weaponize sleeping powder, but, to each their own.***
>
>
> i'm definitely somewhere. A house. Not home, but a house. flying is a dream. I'm not great at it-- there was a period of 5ish years where I simply wasn't allowed too. I've fixed up the wing as best as I can. It's almost better, I can move it and get out of bed. -- ev ***ps. there's a month's worth enclosed. Not weaponizing sleeping powder, but i am doing the unconscious dream brain traumas. it's effective-- I tried it on this guy who was stepping on my flowers to spite me. course I paid the price, but, it was funny***
>
>
> roof and a floor. and walls. the bare minimum. nice. were you lying in bed pathetically because your wing was broken?? can you... not move your legs? what? glad you're doing better anyway. --v ***postscript. thanks. i'm so surprised you're still alive with the amount of petty squabbles you seem to purposely get into.***
>
>
> there's a rocking chair!! it hurt back and arms. I could move my legs but standing upright was annoying. it wasn't a pathetic bed lying, mind you. I did it with style and fuzzy blankets. -- ev ***ps. glad you like them. wouldn't call the squabble petty or purposeful, but I too, wonder how I'm still alive.***
>
>
> rocking chair!! rocking chair!!! a little wibble wobble. good. very good. ah yes, the style upgrade. sounds comfortable. yua made things easier, i assume? --v ***postscript. you seem the type to accidentally provoke so many people, and narrowly avoid life-threatening consequences.***
>
>
> it does!! yua did make this easier-- probably would've felt dead more if she wasn't there. very grateful, tm. How've the dream pills worked out? do you work? -- ev ***ps. no,,, not on accident, but I made a bunch of mistakes when I was twelve so now I gotta deal with them. but i do come out alive, main character energy?***
>
>
> glad you're not alone, at least. i've been meaning to ask, but just how fragile even are your wings? i know a regular butterfly's are extremely flimsy, and i've been wondering if it's the same for you. dream things are working relatively well for me. less to worry about. i don't really know what you mean by "do i work." --v ***postscript. twelve? ~~god, that's early~~ that must suck. whatever it takes though, i get it. you'd make an interesting main character, that's to say the least.***
>
>
> job! do you have a job? also!! my wings so incredibly fragile . it sucks a lot-- but you get used to it. They're pretty similar to a real butterfly's wings. What's being human like? --ev ***ps. it is what it is. I think you'd be a pretty cool MC. You're one of the cooler humans i know***
>
>
> not... officially? i've been traveling around and doing basic medical care whenever people need it, but i'm mostly looking into trying to find other resources to look into. interesting. being human is... well, kinda boring sometimes, but what can you really do? can't go fast, can't go up, but, well, you compensate. that was a lot of commas. sorry about that. --v ***postscript. thanks about that. i'm not too sure exactly how many humans you regularly talk to to decide on that, but i'll take it anyway. you're not bad yourself.***
>
>
> medicine is always good . maybe you should open an animal rescue-- also! the crow's name is Kir. been meaning to mention that. how does compensation happen, though, is it like, uh, machines and performance enhancing substances, or something else? i used more commas. I'm not sorry. --ev ***ps. I've interacted with a fair amount of humans they're all different***
>
>
> i should really look into animal care more. useful skill to have. i'm not sure i'll be able to stay in an area long enough to actually establish an animal shelter or something of the sort, and bringing any along with me seems more trouble than it's worth. to each their own, though. i've never tried anything beyond caffeine. i don't really look to "match up" to any other enhanced abilities, i'll be honest. i just make do as i am. i'm content with never being able to run as fast or fly by myself. if someone invented mechanical wings, though, i'd probably take them. --v ***postscript. well, no duh. hard to generalize a species. would you rather i tell you that you're not bad for a drug dealer?***
>
>
> I'm getting quite good with animals-- the house lets me play with more of them. I kinda want a dog now, but they need to be walked, not flown. I know a guy who does mechanics, maybe he does wings? he owes me one so I'll check anyway. Caffeine is great, by the way. Have you tried, perhaps, steroids? kidding. -- ev ***ps. thank you. Most drug dealers are high on their own wares. amateurs. you're pretty cool for a hunter***
>
>
> use your legs. duh. it isn't too hard. don't press yourself about it. i'm not too worried about flying, honestly. i have bigger things to concern myself with, i'd rather not pour my time into a standard like that. steroids are. well. i think the results they produce are interesting, but i'd never use them myself. i usually avoid any physically or mentally altering substances that don't really solve a problem i have. --v ***postscript. that's dumb. wasting product.***
>
>
> You hurt me. [Crudely written and crossed out] Ve how are you How are the pills. How is the [trauma is crossed out]? — Wang ***Ps. It hurts? My mind***
>
>
> ev, i'm not sure you meant to send me that. ~~are you oka~~ ~~why did you wri~~ ~~who is y~~ the pills are fine. i don't think i'm using them like i'm meant to, but they're fine enough for me. i've settled near a town again. not sure how long i'll stay. it shouldn't matter to you, i think. regardless. how's your bird? --v
>
>
> ve ~~send you~~ ~~just disregar~~ ~~i'm sorry wha~~ I was a bit tired and send you a paper from my notebook instead of a fresh sheet. you just take one pill at bedtime. they don't need to be consistent. what kind of town is it? how big, i guess? I'm so bad at small talk , The birds doing well. I'll send a picture later --ev
>
>
> ev, you're ~~very concerning~~ fine, don't worry. recycling or.. something, i guess. glad i can't mess this up too much then. it's not too big, everyone seems to know each other. i haven't really needed to visit much. small talk isn't much fun anyway. --v ***postscript. looking forward to seeing the tiny thing.***
>
>
> ve, I still feel slightly bad about all the flowers. There's more if you want? just kidding-- only if you want. Small towns are Not Great. I "grew up" in one, overrated. --ev ***ps. see attached photo of Kir + Pey***
>
>
> ev, i'll actually take a few--there's a botanist? florist? plant. person. someone who studies plants. or owns a shop with them, at least. i wanted to ask about what they are but the ones i have aren't exactly in perfect condition anymore. small towns seem interesting to me. weird to be known like that. --v ***postscript. thank you. they seem to be doing alright for themselves.***
>
>
> ve I enclosed them in the envelope. I've been calling them dreamcatchers cause of what I can do with them. Hope the plant person helps, tell me about them maybe? i also enclosed a new bottle of pills just in case you need more. --ev ***ps. they're very affectionate. I got a dog too-- she's very sweet***
>
>
> ev, they seemed okay enough. a bit strange, but i always think people are strange, so i guess this is no different. her name was.. dax? disc? disc would be a stupid name. d-something. there was someone else there, but i can't remember their name. seemed passionate about what they do. thanks. --v ***postscript. is that.. safe?***
>
>
> ve, glad she was nice to you. there wasn't. perchance, another person in the shop with her? just curious, I know running a business alone is hard. disc is a funny name. dax- dex maybe? i'm awful with names --ev ***ps. yes, she's very kind to the birds. See attached photo***
>
>
> ev, dex seems right. feels like it's missing a beat. dexter? dexie? something like that. i thought i mentioned it, but yes, there was someone else there. case, i think? weird name, but who am i to judge. i should visit again. perhaps things will work out there better than i thought they would. --v ***postscript. i moreso meant... in general. how do you even keep a dog?***
>
>
> ve, they sound nice. It wouldn't hurt for you to visit them again. plants are a very useful ~~poison~~ decoration. What did she say about the flowers? --ev ***ps. oh. I walk her like you say too. and she responds well to non-verbal commands***
>
>
> ev, nothing specific to really note. she said they're rare but easy to.. cultivate? i think that was the word she uses. i think you scored on settling near so many. i dropped by again and we spent a few minutes talking. well, it was mostly just... awkward silence, but we exchanged some information, at least. --v ***postscript. right, that's what you meant. forget i said anything. i'm glad you're taking care of her.***
>
>
> ve, glad you were able to go back. Were you able to get their names? I guess I am lucky, yeah. I went for a walk with Kel-- the dog-- and we had a good time. She's really good about not chasing things. I'm pretty sure she'd do fine without a leash, but I keep her on one just in case. --ev ***ps. you strike me as a person who'd rather cut off a limb than have something rely on them,,,***
>
>
> ev, dexie and case. kase? ckase? something like that. they seem alright. kel is a nice name. i think if she started chasing something, she'd drag you along in the dirt behind her, which is an interesting mental image. --v ***postscript. thanks...? i try my best.***
>
>
> ve, Dexy and Kase? I see. ~~LEave. Get out of there. Leave them alone.~~ That's pretty cool !! I'm glad they're nice to you. Cox wouldn't . hurt me. I don't think so, at least. if she dragged me in the dirt, I think I'd just die. Oh yeah-- if you see and cherry trees, could you send me a leaf or blossom? thanks, --ev ***ps. self reliance is the best kind***
>
>
> ev, yeah, that sounds about right. please don't die at a dog's hands. i think i would have to laugh at you. i'm not sure if there's any cherry blossoms yet around here, but i'll probably accidentally find one soon. will definitely send some over if/when that happens. --v ***postscript. yeah, that's a lesson and a half.***
>
>
> ve, I'm not as fragile as you think-- or as most people think for that matter. I think anyone would die if a dog as big as Cox dragged them through the dirt. i wouldn't mind if you laughed, as long as you did some medic work on me after, though. thanks for keeping an eye out, though. You have the luck to probably find one. --ev ***ps. something most people don't get.***
>
>
> ev, it's funnier to imagine that you're like a sheet of paper. i know bones don't work like that, though, so. eh. i'm not sure i'm close enough to do work on you instantly, but i'd do my best. maybe bandage a tree in your honor. --v ***postscript. is it that uncommon? ~~do people not~~ hm.***
>
>
> ve, you're more likely to be the sheet of paper. If you were to get hurt, I'd laugh and send Kir with a bandage or something. I actually find the image of you slipping to be quite amusing. --ev ***ps. you'd be surprised how easily people trust. i mean look at kyouma--------***
>
>
> ev, HEY. i take offense to that. (not really. i can take care of myself, thank you.) i hope you accidentally walk into a tree when you're walking kel next. (also not really. but it would be a little funny.) --v ***postscript. i think kyouma is an exception. to everything. just in general an exception.***
>
>
> ve, admit it, it's kinda funny. I hope you trip on a rock when you realize you can't fly (joking, but honestly my wings are my ONLY one up on people) --ev ***ps. kyouma sure is. something. What do you think of the others?***
>
>
> ev, a little bit funny. only a LITTLE. pain is only funny when it's not happening to you. (except for when it is.) that made no sense. i don't care. i hope you trip on a rock and then realize that you *can* fly. (not really. but with all the walking you're doing, i think it's possible.) --v ***postscript. they're alright. i wonder if any of them are dead. care to share your thoughts?***
>
>
> ve, It's very funny. (we're both rather sadistic) pain is a touchy subject. I hate admit that might happen. That's not fair. Screw you. (not really, this is in jest) --ev ***ps. Yua's alive. What's your greatest fear and why?***
>
>
> ev, i don't think sadism has anything to do with it. actually, is that what this is? hm. interesting. i won't broach it any further. i can't wait for the inevitable update that it's occurred. don't forget your bandaids or whatever. --v ***postscript. that's a question! how about the heat death of the universe? kidding. mostly. you?***
>
>
> ve, we derive pleasure/amusement from other's pain do we not? I am also going to leave this alone. Did you find any cherries yet, nerd? (joking name calling, but face it we're all nerds at heart.) --ev ***ps. I don't like tight spaces or places where i feel vulnerable. Can't really do much bout the universe so why worry? your turn to ask a question***
>
>
> ev, by definition i suppose you're correct. god, that was pretentious sounding. sorry. funny you ask. there's a few enclosed. i forgot how nice the colors of the petals were. --v ***postscript. (scribbled over, but very messily.) [well, it's some imminent thing that's bound to occur, killing not only us but everything we know and making life itself collapse because the world is no longer existing as is familiar to us. it's possible to happen, but could also just. not occur. it would literally erode away any mark that humanity could possibly leave now or in the future, and any markings of whatever history we could leave behind.] thoughts on mushrooms? not as a drug.***
>
>
> ve, you're pretentious, I'm sarcastic. What a pair we are. Not that i'd consider you a friend,,,? sorry now I sound rude. Thanks for the blossoms, they came just in time. --ev ***mushrooms are cool. Yua doesn't like them and i don't know how to cook them. They're pretty, though. Thoughts on cats?***
>
>
> ev, you're fine, don't worry. i think it's more we're... associates? there's nothing rude about subjective opinions. actually, i take that back. the thought still stands though. --v ***postscript. they're.. okay? i don't really see the point in keeping one, but i guess others do. thoughts on rain?***
>
>
> ve, thanks. You're a close acquaintance. Opinions are a funny thing. --ev ***ps. rain is the best and worst thing. can't fly in it, but it smells good, looks nice, and feels great. thoughts on moral codes?***
>
>
> ev, thank you also. i wish objective truths were more commonplace, but i guess what makes us mortal is our. differences. that. i don't like how i wrote that. mmm --v ***postscript. you follow it or you don't. you really should stop modifying your constitution. is it really a 'code' if its rules change once a week? (kidding. kind of.)***
>
>
> ve, it made sense, if that's any comfort. objective truths are tricky, I guess? it's like so wide and under spread. ew. now I don't like what I said. --ev ***ps. I only modify a couple of them. there's several I don't touch. (i consider those to be the important ones anyway.) do you have a code, then?***
>
>
> ev, sense doesn't matter if the tone isn't right, but who am i to write about tone. words are hard. truths are strange. take me back to when i understood nothing. --ve ***postscript. yes. i don't typically go announcing it, though.***

## Returning to the Mission

### Meeting Everyone

Everan was called to go to Chorüm. There he was met by the governor, Anniya Lurmaid, and 2 guards. There he was tasked to help the village of Barsto as the people were "locking their doors and had scared faces." Being a skilled man in the way of bartering for payment, he requests 150 gold pieces and the privilege to study under the city's most renown weapons master. When the governor agreed, Everan headed off to Barsto. He was a bit upset and saddened to be separated from his friends (read: Yua) but pushed on.

He approached a trade shop on his way to Barsto, summoning a sword in order to impress the trader. In return, he is taught how to infuse things with nen. He trades several of his "Dreamless Draught" for the hilt of a broken sword said to be incredibly powerful when mended and a bow staff able to be transformed into other objects. Everan leaves the trading shop satisfied, with a mission to repair his sword hilt.

When he reunited with the party, Everan was knocked unconscious for several days. He came too and was greeted by a new member of the party-- Dr. Victor. Since Everan's title as a "Pharmacist" was a nickname and not an actual title (he hadn't finished school), Dr. Victor looked down on Everan. In a desperate act to prove himself to this "real doctor," Everan made a deal with the devil to become certified. In return his constitution was taken from him and he was stripped of the ability to make a new constitution. He was quite proud of becoming a licensed pharmacist, declaring any drugs he give out to be prescription. However, Victors refusal to acknowledge the supernatural leads him to not acknowledge Everan's certification, much to the latter's dismay.

Since he was without his constitution, Everan began to craft his moral conduct. It was specified he wasn't allowed to make another *constitution*, leaving his loophole perfectly reasonable.

## Relationships

### Yua

Everan and Yua have a very strong sibling bond. The two always look out for each other, and stayed together after they passed the Hunter exam. Everan and Yua live together, often discussing their problems with each other. He also likes teasing Yua and uses Pey as one of his main ways of bugging her. Whenever there is an enemy to fight, Everan is noted to hide behind Yua as he's not too strong, physically. He views her like a sibling, not a friend or acquaintance.

### Aspect

Aspect declared them friends and Everan agreed. While Aspect is protected by the "Friend" clauses in Everan's constitution, he's not sure how he feels about them. He doesn't consider them a friend, though. Instead, they are an acquaintance.

### Vienna

Vienna and Everan became pen pals after the group split. He considers her a close acquaintance and sends her sleeping pills to "help shut off the dreams." They talk to each other often, teasing one another often. She made several jokes when he injured his wing, leading to his indignant protests. He refers to her as "Ve" within their letters, finding it funny as they call him "Ev." He's also vocalized his admiration for Vienna and their execution of ideas.

### Kyouma

Everan is Kyouma's therapist. He is quite sympathetic, but also is apathetic and slightly antagonizing with how he interacts during their therapy sessions. He likes Kyouma's way of thinking, but finds the warrior to headstrong and loud. They met twice over the time skip for therapy sessions.

### Basil

Everan has little resect for Basil but doesn't care if she lives or dies.

### Alvox

Everan respects Alvox's silence, but doesn't care if he lives or dies. Everan views Alvox as pretentious, stuck-up, and elitist. He dislikes most of the warrior.

### Dr. Victor

Everan feels the need to please Dr. Victor, but overall is mostly indifferent to him. He wishes to grow closer to him, though. They are acquaintances.

### Kase

Even though Everan was told not to form attachments, he considers Kase to be a friend. Everan is fiercely protective of him since he is the youngest of the four of them. They joke a lot, often admiring different forms of wildlife together. Everan also talks to Kase frequently through letters, allowing his goofy personality to show. They rarely talk about the trauma they'd been through-- since Kase had gone through something similar to Everan-- but maintain a very close friendship.

### Crux

Like Kase, Everan considers Crux a friend. He and Crux are only a couple months apart in age-- Everan being older-- and they talk roughly twice a week. Everan shares his intense love of animals with Crux, often talking about his pets earnestly in his letters. Crux also helped Everan write his constitution and is notified when he makes changes. The two often act like twins, behaving rather childishly around one another. Crux also visits Kase and Dexy often, keeping Everan updated on them. He's one of Everan's closest friends.

### Dexy

Everan considers Dexy a friend. Dexy's love of plants is what helped Everan learn what he knows about botany. They are quite close to one another, and he often teases her about trivial things. He and Dexy talk a lot about what happened in the cartel, both acknowledging the fact the four of them aren't good people. Dexy and Everan are quite close, though they've never been romantically interested in each other. Everan and Dexy both prefer to keep it that way. He likes the fact she's able to run her shop with Kase's assistance.

### Yara

Everan still loves his sister. He doesn't hold his imprisonment against her, and mourns her death every year. He wishes she was still alive, but has accepted the fact she is gone. If she were still alive, he'd probably've left her with Crux when he became a hunter.

### Saphus

Everan strongly dislikes Saphus, and sees him as his main tormentor. He still views him as a fatherly figure, albeit only viewing his abuse from when he was captured at fifteen/sixteen.

## Quotes

"Didn't you know? Butterflies can be poisonous too." -- Him during the height of Eve's Cartel operations.

"Want some drugs?" -- Him as any given opportunity.

"You know, power. It's a funny thing. It makes me more willing to break the things I care about. Including myself." -- Him during the height of Eve's Cartel operations.

"For the record, I know this isn't the best thing, nor is it healthy." -- Him after capture to Crux.

"Liabilities. That's all people are." -- Him to himself after Yara died.

"I don't think anyone would *want* to see my head, if I'm gonna be straight with you. I also wouldn't want anyone *in* there." -- Him to Vienna from one of their many letters.

"Open people are like. Doors made of glass. Wouldn’t trust one in my house." -- Him to Vienna from one of their many letters.

## Trivia + Fun Facts

- Everan teeters between lawful and chaotic evil, following and constantly editing his constitution.

- Everan gets quite attached to animals and is slowly amassing a collection of pets.

- Evean suffers from vocal cord paralysis, often hindering his breathing and speaking. His mask helps filter air.

- Everan only considers three people to be his friends. Crux, Kase, and Dexy. He doesn't make any more "friends" after Yara's words to him to not form attachments. In the case of Yua, Everan thinks of her like a sister. Aspect and Vienna are acquaintances, with the latter being a close one. The three of them are protected by the friend clauses, though.

- Everan's constitution has several sections, including the Friend clauses (protects his friends). the Untouchable clauses (will not be modified), and the Medical clauses (Anything pertaining to medicine/drugs and his knowledge of it.) **(VOID)**

## Everan's Pets

### Pey

Pey is a dove Everan acquired before the Hunter Exam started. He loves him a lot, valuing him quite highly. It is noted that Pey has nearly died several times, but Everan has used his healing skills to prevent that from happening. He also manually flapped the birds wings for an extended amount of time, leaving Pey quite exhausted. He no longer mistreats Pey, and dotes on him quite a lot.

### Niv

Niv is a bat Everan acquired during one of the later parts of the Hunter Exam. He snatched her out of the air when the group was being attacked, declaring he wanted a bat.

### Kir

Kir is Everan's messenger crow. He uses her to send letters to Vienna during the year the Hunters parted their ways. It's noted that while Pey could technically be a messenger dove, Kir enjoys the work more.

### Kel

Crux helped name Kel, Everan's dog. Kel is a Jindo, standing about 20 in tall with a white coat. She mimics her owner's fierce loyalty, only accustomed to Yua out of the party. Everan got her when the party first spilt, and she's now roughly a year old. Everan adores her. She's learned to follow hand signs since Everan doesn't talk when not necessary.

### Sar

A mole that Victor found in the entrance chamber. He's a star-nosed mole who Everan loves very much. Victor tried to woo him with a piece of mushroom, but Everan won him over with an earthworm.

### Unnamed excess pets

Everan is ridiculously good with animas and has had a multitude of "pets" over the years. He considers them companions and respects when/if they want to return to the wild.
