## Personality

A bounty hunter, Evan is well equipped in finding what he needs. Savvy and resourceful, he tries his hardest to achieve what he wants. However, he has a fiery temper but he tries to control it through underground fighting, which is an area he has succeeded in and has garnered some fan attention, though it's small due to the exclusive nature of the sport and is rare that he's recognised outside of the arena, which suits him just fine. Down to Earth, he doesn't really let himself dream and often stays in reality. Though he's often quiet, he can also be a little bit of a flirt, enjoying attention from the opposite sex and sometimes the same sex, but he gets more picky there. However, Evan can also be quite emotional, despite the hard exterior he presents and can often act without thinking, especially when his emotions are appealed to.

Evan also takes times to sculpt, renting out a studio in Central City and takes as much time in there as he possibly could. However, he doesn't really tell anyone this and sells his work under a pseudonym. He's also quite a collector, collecting snow-globes from every town he visits, sometimes more than one. A love of travelling, he tries to go to every remote place he can find on a map and is the type that scatters pin over a map that hangs over his bed to signify where he's been. This is one of the reasons why he became a bounty hunter. Though he doesn't particularly enjoy the career, he likes the opportunity to travel which it offers. He does enough that he has the funds but doesn't really care for being the best, like Luci is and finds it funny whenever someone points out any competition between them, knowing full well there's none.

## History

Alfred Mikhailov was a prominent playwright and author, his work known across Mirrorworld, and enjoyed the high life with his wife, Vivian, who enjoyed the fame, the money, the popularity. Though Evan was a mistake, he was a happy mistake. However, neither parent was willing to compromise their lifestyle to raise a child and so they hired a nanny, Holly, to take care of them.

Evan was raised completely by Holly, watching his parents leave to travel frequently. Evan loved his parents, though, especially his father. His parents did spoil the child, bringing home extravagant presents every time. It was only until his father fainted out of exhaustion did he take half a year off from his career to focus on relaxing. During this time, he began to spend more time with Evan. During a walk in a nearby park, Alfred had found Evan following him. Instead of sending him back, he let Evan walk with him. They began to bond and soon Evan gave Alfred inspiration for a children's book. Soon, he spent all his time with Evan, using his child as a search engine, asking questions where needed. Evan, though, was overjoyed, not realising, due to being four years old, what his father's motivation for the attention was.

Eventually, Alfred got the book published and it was an instant hit, becoming one of the most loved children's books. As Evan was placed into the book, he became a sort of child celebrity. He got piles of fan mail, paraded in front of cameras and frequently interviewed. By the time he was six, he was one of the most well known faces. However, he was protected by living in the country when he wasn't brought to the cities. His parents, however, began to travel more and more, living on the high of the books, neither realising the negative effect it was having on their son.

Wanting nothing but his parent's attention and love, Evan was confused on the attention given to him, not understanding why the book was so popular or why everyone seemed to know him. He frequently became upset and would hide away in his room. However, Holly saw the effect and began to try and make it better. She introduced him to sculpting, photography and the animals. By the time Evan was nine, he was aware of the animal kingdom and found it fascinating and was beginning to show a talent in both of the other areas. It allowed him an escape. He loved Holly and would often show signs of separation anxiety if she wasn't close at hand.

When Evan was ten, Holly eventually broached the subject with his parents. Though Vivian was non-plussed, Alfred began to become concerned, not realising the frantic schedule of his child. However, he was no match for his dominating wife. Not liking Holly impeding on how her child is raised, she fired Holly, much to both hers and Evan's dismay. Being banned from seeing Evan distressed them both and eventually resulted in Holly killing herself, feeling as if she has lost her own child.

Not being able to take care of Evan, they sent him to a boarding school. The other kids, who realised who he was, bulled him for the book. However, this stopped when Evan was 13 and learnt to punch back. Evan eventually resented the book and both his parents in return, despising the holidays and rathered the lonely school than being forced to be around them. However, when he was fourteen a woman came to see him, claiming to be his aunt. She had grown curious over her nephew and suspected neglect, knowing his mother and her ways. All she wanted was a coffee (and evidence). After proving some relation, Evan began to open up, curious to know why his mother never mentioned her. It turned out, Vivian didn't approve of his aunt's, or Paige's, career. A bounty hunter. Seeing an opportunity to make his own name and seperate himself from his family, he asked to live with her. Paige, after a month of convincing, agreed and applied for custody. The courts eventually granted it and Evan moved to Central city with her.

In Central City, Evan got into the bounty hunter business under the promise he'll keep up with school as he was enrolled into Central City High School. He did this whilst also getting into underground fighting, having eventually learnt how to defend himself from the bullies. He was trained by an old boxer and soon gained success in the ring, allowing earnings from both the bounty hunting and this hobby, which gave him leeway from focussing completely on the former. He gained some notoriety, though, gaining the nickname 'the killer' due to his prowess in the ring, but he thought the name amusing and uses it at times as if he's making fun of himself. However, used this money to pay rent and rent out a studio in the city so he could focus on his art and buy equipment.
