Evander Salamis is a 2023-introduced and all-around/fiction-only character. He is the son of Artemis goddess of The hunt, archery, wilderness, forests, the Moon, radiance, maidenhood, and childbirth and Teucer, prince of Salamis, from Greek Mythology, and currently attends Ever After High through the Mythology Program. In the destiny conflict, he is on the Roybel Side, since he isn't sure if he wants to follow his destiny(destinies).

## Character

### **Personality**

Evander exudes a calm and collected energy. He is commonly considered to be the most decent and least hardcore of his sisters. After all, if you had to choose to be locked in a room with at least one of them, Evander would be the most logical choice. He isn't much of a hero, but he is very good with people. He is charismatic and outgoing. He is shown to be very socially intelligent. While mostly effortless on his part, Evander tailors his personality to appeal to the people he is with. This is why he is so well-liked among others. Like Leilani, everything he does is calculated to some extent. Unlike his half-sister, his motives for being like this are different. Evander wants to be a comforting and friendly presence for others, and if he has to design his personality so that others will talk to him, then why not? He is friendly, empathetic and encouraging to other people, especially in difficult times. Like his sisters, Evander can be very protective, but he is not known to jump in until the last minute. He doesn't get directly involved unless he absolutely has to. This is owed to his cool and calm nature, as it takes a lot to rattle him. Charming though mercurial, Evander is an inquisitive kid whose audacious leanings make him just as outgoing as he is spontaneous. While not too in-your-face about his royal birth – being raised under the care of a group of temple members– he's nonetheless curious about where he came from. Between being most likely destined to fight in a ten year war, the young hero wants the time he has left in Ever After High to mean something. One thing of note, ironically, is that his short-term memory is a bit sporadic, often remembering seemingly random/unimportant details (hoarse laughter coming from the nymph he saw at New Athens week, that very specific shade of cream orange seen during the sunset he saw three days back, etc.) while blanking out on the obvious (others' names, teacher's assignments, the like).

Evander nonetheless does his best to support his friends, even if he's something of a literal space-case. The young prince is very excitable, especially when trying to cure his boredom. While seeming to be collected and composed when left to his own devices, he rarely stays still for long, often fidgets in class when he isn't wandering about between periods. He'll gladly join up with friends and local troublemakers for fun and mischief (often under the guise of a pleasant smile and an air of coy nobility) to keep active in mind and body – a strength of affability and a weakness for compulsion. Sometimes it fuels his drive to be wanted and remembered, but more often than not it wears him out mentally and, in worst-case scenarios, it even lends him into trouble. Conversely, his mutable demeanor sticks with him in the lowest of moods; even like-minded hunters like Evander become withdrawn and melancholic, no matter how hard he tries to stay positive. Along with being at times hypersensitivity, It's during these episodes when his anxiety for the future – every thought of "what if I'm a different person when I leave school” and "maybe I'm not good enough for friends/family to care about me when I'm gone" combined – eat up at the poor prince. Nevertheless, Evander is content to keep his head held high in spite of persistent insecurities, whether through keeping himself busy or staying in touch with those who stick with him and his moods. Overall, whether letting loose with best friends or socializing with quirky acquaintances, wax, wane, and the energy that drives him are key terms that are essential to who he is – like the many phases of the moon itself.

### **Appearance**

Evander is a seventeen year old with an athletic build to him. He is described with messy and wavy light brown hair, light tanned skin, and silver eyes. While living in Ancient Greece, he wore traditional Ancient Greek clothing but now at school he wears a silver jacket, a black shirt with a crescent moon that resembles a bow and arrow on it, jeans and gray sneakers

### **Hobbies and Interests**

#### Archery

Evander is a skilled archer given that his mother is an archery goddess and often trains with his cousins and half-sisters

## Powers/Abilities

### Artemis Kid Powers

* Because he was not directly birthed from Artemis, he inherited Artemis’ hunting skills and his hunting prowess and abilities far exceeds that of her Hunters but he just pale in comparison to his virgin mother.
* He can use the moonlight as a means of teleportation and appear anywhere so long as moonlight can shine in that location, known as "lunar-traveling" which functions identically to shadow traveling.
* He possesses lunakinesis, manipulation of the moon and its' light as his mother has divine authority over the moon.
* He can even create arrows made out of silvery moonlight, which never fails to hit their target unless an outside force intervenes.
* He is also more powerful when the moon shines on him and can use moonlight to communicate with anyone, esp, his mother and other lunar gods
* He can heal at an accelerated rate if he is bathed in moonlight, as well as move faster and hit harder.
* He can communicate with and understand stags, hawks, and wolves given that they are his mother's sacred animals.
* He can also understand other wildlife.
* Like his mother, he can utter a blessing in ancient Greek to make two more of a species of animal that was slain by him.
* He can temporarily shift anyone into a jackalope for a day He can fire lasers of moonlight from his eyes, just like his mother can do. It works identically to heat vision
* He can create large constructs from moonlight, generally in the shape of a stag or doe, as a means of communication or offense, but the construct can only be twice the size of himself. The larger the construct, the more power it requires from him.
* He is also masterful at using lunar-based attacks.
* Only when moonlight is present, meaning this does not work on a night of the New Moon, can he create wings of silvery light to fly. He can even give temporary wings to other people. This fails if he is too weak or too hungry.
* Like his grandfather, he possesses minor atmokinesis and is partially immune to lightning. He can also redirect or reflect lightning back at the sender but he cannot completely control the bolt's path.
* He has the ability to turn anyone into the opposite sex of what they currently are, but only temporarily, like his mother did to Sipriotes.
* He can use the moon's gravity to weigh down an opponent and hinder their mobility, or he can make himself more nimble by lessening the gravity around him, he also has a degree of hydrokinesis in that he can control the tides to be higher or lower than normal because the moon is related to tidal forces.
* He has night vision that allows him to see even in the darkest night.
* He can infuse a weapon with moonlight to make it deal more damage. The infusion can last until the next morning.
* He can also use moonlight to heal his allies. However, the more serious the injuries are, the more energy and concentration it requires to restore them. If he uses this ability too many times within a day, he will eventually be unable to even conjure a single ball of moonlight, let alone keep his eyes open.
* He is immune to lunar attacks from other demigods who use lunakinetic combat, and can absorb any lunar energy that is thrown his way and either use it to heal, as ammunition for is own attacks, or send it back to the attacker at double the power.
* He can use Chlorokinesis and have control from a forest's tallest trees to its grass.
* He can control water only from the forest's rivers, lakes, ponds, and rain.
* He can turn into animals or wildlife.
