- - - -personality- - - -

<sup>LIKES:
marijuana, experimenting with stuff, "chillin", the smell of the movie cinemas, movie popcorn, Ramen noodles, cheap things, the smell of boat gasoline, cute accents, girls in fishnet stockings, dissecting things, good movies, the color light lilac, knowing nearly all the basic color codes by heart, being unable to roll his r's in spanish cos they don't make him speak it much since he can't, making up lies to make things seem more interesting, seeing people's reactions to some of the outlandish things he does and says, chewing gum [but only if it doesn't make a noise], the Golden Girls, doodling, making fun of people, laying down on the floor, messing with snooty workers in outlet stores, the band Radiohead, anguished musical artists, the sound high heels make on hardwood, music, playing the bass guitar [which he can like a mofo], and lima beans.
DISLIKE:
people with dirty hands who touch him, his hair being messed up, snakes, eels, anything without legs, pinball machines (he's convinced they're haunted by soldiers from the Civil War), stereotypes, people who bitch about hating stereotypes, the smell of floats you have to blow up by mouth, being breathed on by people, movies that end stupid, Harry Potter [just cos he's jealous he's not a wizard], people who smack, snoring, fake music, feeling utterly worthless, feeling ununique which is not even a word, snobby people, close-minded people, reality shows, most high-pitched cartoon voices, most female singers, and canned ravioli.
FEARS:
choking on a stainless steel object [], swine flu, ebola, bird flu, australian accents, people named "Willy", girls with really huge breasts, men with really huge breasts, people with dirty hands, being assassinated by a vampire lord, going bald, being hooked by a fishing hook [], a book eating him, reaching his hand into a dark bookbag, and plucking a four-leaf clover. He also seems to have an aversion to the color yellow.
GOALS:
not go crazy [or any crazier than he already is], not be raped by a Snow King [do not ask], keep all his arms, legs, fingers, and toes, never go bald, make 1,000 paper cranes [], invent something that hasn't been invented, live to see actual flying cars, discover what book covers are made of and make an entire outfit out of the material, graduate and not die before then, and some day eat sushi [he never has.]
SECRET:
+ He's a virgin.
+ Sometimes has a hard time remembering if he's actually telling the truth or not.
+ Seems to be shit with an iron.
+ He has a bad weakness for girls in trouble. He must have a secret hero complex.
+ Anything without legs makes him really nervous. [aka about to faint.]
+ He cannot whistle. This truly is his greatest weakness. Makes him feel incompetent as a man. He'll make up for it in other ways, however.
+ Get him drinking and he'll do anything. Really.
PERSONALITY:
All right. Well, all of his life this kid lived a rather normal, boring existence. Day to day, nothing really grand happening. He was the only child of a young couple growing up, but as they had a bit of marital strife throughout the course of Ev's youth, he never really got to know that 'standard family' deal. Then again, being Everett, he never really cared.

That is one thing that seems typical of young Everett Parker. That he doesn't care. Now, don't get him wrong - It's not that he's cold, or anything of the sort. He's simply the sort of person not to get bothered by things, and naturally this can often come off as him simply not giving a damn one way or the other. He just went through life with that half-lidded gaze, talking his way out of things and barely getting by, either showing up at school with his head in the clouds or not at all. He was never a bad student, but most certainly not your over-achiever.

Everett just... He doesn't want to play the game. You know what I mean. The Game. The Game of life, that game that we as human beings are forced to play if we want to be accepted into society. Well Everett really doesn't care if he's 'accepted' into society or not; from a very early age he didn't care to do the things other children seemed to do just to be popular or whatever. He just wanted to do whatever he wanted. He just... did. And he never really cared to be a part of the crowd either; people always sort of annoyed him. He found their drama nauseating and their back-stabbings, their two-facedness, their poserings, to be absolutely disgusting.

He'd rather not be a part of it.

So he always seemed to prefer to be alone. Not that the boy could be classified as a loner; he has his friends, he's just picky about them. Everett isn't one to beat around the bush; if he doesn't like someone, he simply won't fool with them. He may come off as rude sometimes, but it's just part of his personality. Now, the male wouldn't openly be rude to someone with the intention of hurting them; he is just an honest person. And sometimes honesty hurts.

Well... he's honest except for when he's lying. :/

He likes to lie. It's fun. So sue him. So not everything he says is a lie; he can be trusted. It's just that... sometimes he makes up these /stories/, just to make things seem more interesting. Sometimes he's not even aware he's doing it. He'll just say something that's totally not true... and the sad thing is that most of the time, people will believe him. Sometimes these fibs are things that could indeed be the truth, such as that his uncle was eaten by a bear, and then sometimes he'll just flat and out say something so outlandish but with such a serious expression upon his face that the person he's speaking to would likely only be able to stand there and look rather stupefied. And by the time they've realized he's probably just been making shit up, he's done walked off to go get something from the snack machines.

That's just Everett.

But he is a nice person. He's not one to walk away from someone in trouble or anything like that. Basically he just doesn't have time for bullshitters, and he enjoys messing with people's heads in a totally unharming way. Teachers, fellow students, student's parents, bosses... no-one is safe from Everett's Subliminal Storymaking. He's a chronic liar. His mother always said that one day it was going to really come back to get him, but how, he wonders. I mean it's not like he ever hurt anybody. He just wants to make his own life more interesting; people can get over it. He's quite good at it, too - Nothing about Everett gives away that he might not be telling the truth, and sometimes he even forgets if he's telling the truth or not. Sad, but true. Also. His sense of humor is rather dry, and thus his dialogue is usually a bit as such too. Again giving that impression that he really doesn't give a damn.

He's not disrespectful, or anything. He can be quite the polite thing, or sickeningly polite in such a way you realize he's only being sarcastic and you want to pummel him for being that way. It's hard to tell, with Everett. He's insane. And lazy. And loves to stir things up and then walk away while it's all stirred, and laugh because he affected things so much. It's not like he has malevolent motives or anything. He just... likes to see what will happen when he tries /this/, or /that/. Subconsciously he's probably just seeking the knowledge that he can indeed make a difference or impact something or somebody. The thought that his existence is just one among millions is a bit disheartening to him, if truth be known. He wants to be remembered as someone you don't even want to remember. <3

Everett really won't take any shit from anybody. If you're rude to him he'll just walk away; he's not one for physical confrontations because he "doesn't want anybody to screw up his hair." Vain he is not, but please don't mess with his hair. For a boy he does take some pride in that. <3 But that's about it as far as that goes, really. He's sort of got a wide personal space, or at least a bit more than most people have. Depending on who you are and if he's comfortable round you, he'll likely back away a bit if you come stand right next to him. That's just how he is. He really doesn't like most people. xD Now, he is more soft around most females, it seems. Everett likes girls. xD He isn't too fond of hos, cos he likes to keep clean. But that dry attitude can grow a bit more gentle around the softer sex.

He likely seems very lazy. Like nothing gets to him. Maybe it's all part of a fascade, maybe it's not. He doesn't actually know, or really want to be bothered with investigating it right now. He'd be a shit psychiatrist, cos investigating anything wears him out and he can't concentrate on anything for too long. So he'd probably be a shit anything, basically. Maybe that's one of the reasons he spills lies and stories so much, because he's got a big imagination. He's the sort of person to call the pizza place and tell them he has no arms and had to have a friend strap the phone to his head with duct tape or something. I guess you have to have a pretty big imagination to think of shit like that. But yeah, he's not really able to stop his mind from going, once it's going. He may be a bit bipolar but we'll never know cos he won't go to the doctor. Not after watching Sublime. Um, hell no.

There is a loving side to him that counters that caustic, seemingly completely uncaring exterior. It may be very rarely shown, but it is there. Everett's capable of compassion, very much so - and he does enjoy having fun. He's the sort of person to go find his own fun, not sit around and wait for it to come to him. Some days he can be quite lethargic and others he'll almost seem bouncing off the walls - He can be quite the moody thing, but there is almost a system to him, if one could be around the boy long enough to figure it out. He's just... unruffled all of the time. Not one to really go ape-shit for no reason, know what I mean?</sup>

HISTORY:
[Apologies for the monster history! On another site where I have Ev, a long history was required and to condense it would take away from him, I feel. I'm sorry!]
Maxwell Parker and Karen Smith actually met a little bit after Karen had started college in Rhode Island - which is quite north on the eastern coast of the United States. She was in her Sophomore year whilst Max was just starting law school, and they were both in line for a coffee at a cafe. Max was in a hurry as he was late for a meeting, and she was just stood there innocently. As soon as the man had turned round BAM. Coffee upon shirt. To this day he claims he never even saw her there, although I think he's just clumsy.

Well, being Max, he couldn't just leave the girl like that. So he sat her down and helped her clean up as best as was possible, though with a white shirt it didn't really do much help. They talked for just a while, and discovered they were both attending the same college. Needless to say, he ended up missing that important meeting and when he told her this she felt quite bad and really, really wanted to make it up to him. To which the young man just sort of smiled and said he'd already spilled coffee on her, she didn't owe him anything.

They parted ways after telling each other their names, and she went back to her dorm whilst he went back to his apartment. All dressed up in his suit and tie with his briefcase, for nothing. However, he soon came to learn that there had been a wreck along the road he would have taken to get to that meeting, and about the same time he would have been driving it, had he been able to leave on time. Shocked, he looked her up and phoned her, telling her the news. She was shocked as well, but at first didn't understand why he was calling to tell her.

And then he said it: "I owe you my life!"

He wasn't really thinking when he said it, but it's what he said. She was a bit flustered at that, and tried to convince him it wasn't much of a big deal, but Max - ever a believer in fate - practically pleaded to make it up to her again. She finally agreed, still quite timid about it. After all, he was an older male in law school, and she was a mere Sophomore. Second year of college and she didn't really feel much older than she had during her first.

It was agreed he would buy her dinner that Friday night at a very nice restaurant. A bit taken aback by the elegance of the place, Karen felt somewhat out of place as she showed up in a pair of nice jeans and a sweater whilst he donned another suit. However, he assured her she looked great with a smile and led her to a booth.

The dinner actually went quite well. He was a lot easier to talk to than she had ever imagined, and by the time they ordered dessert, she was talking and laughing just as much as he was. She soon found out that despite his 'outer appearance,' the clean-cut hair and the suit and tie, he was quite the normal person, not nearly as intimidating as she had originally thought. And also, he got nervous around pretty girls.

He admitted this to her, and again she didn't really understand why he was telling her this. Until he promptly tripped over his own shoe walking out the door and turned to her. He then admitted that that was why he had seemed so nervous around her, because she was a very pretty girl. To which she seemed surprised and said he didn't seem nervous, she was the one who was nervous, because he was so nice-looking and in /law/ school.

Needless to say, they both ended up embarrassed, flustered, and even more nervous.

But both of them went back home thinking about the other one.

All right, this story is already way too long. To make it somewhat shorter, they ended up dating throughout college, Karen even moving in to live in his apartment. After Max graduated, he gave the apartment to her and had to move to the next city for a while to intern, but they kept their relationship up. A couple of years down the road, and they got married.

They continued to live in Rhode Island once Karen had graduated college, and she got a job at a bank, which was what she had gone into. He continued with his lawyer-ism and for little while everything was quite good. The couple had a child - this would be Everett - a few months after marriage. They weren't exactly planning for a child, but it was a nice surprise. For nearly a year, the new little threesome family was content.

However, while Max was on a case in another location, he met a woman there. Now, Max was a good person. But even good people slip. He'd been away from his family for a good solid month and he was lonely. He did something he probably shouldn't have. She was a fellow lawyer, and they met at a conference. He ended up sleeping with her. He regretted this, but there was really nothing he could do about it. After this little bit of time was over, he returned home to his wife and infant son. It was during this time that his and Karen's relationship started to fall. They just... didn't seem to mesh very well anymore. They had money, they had the things they needed for little Everett Rhen, but they weren't happy with each other. He was bored with this lifestyle, already. Apparently they had married too young, or at least too quickly. And having a baby so early in their marriage had obviously been a mistake.

Well, about nine months later, the woman Max had slept with ended up calling him and letting him know she had just given birth to a daughter. His daughter. He was devastated, and full of regret. Apparently he had messed up to the highest degree. He truly, honestly, did not know what to do. So he went to his wife and told her the truth - that he had slept with another woman a while back and there was probable cause to believe she had given birth to his child.

Karen was also devastated, but although they had been having problems, she did not leave Max or divorce him. Yet. Instead, she insisted that he pay support to the other woman for the girl, but she requested that he did not see either of them. She also forbade him to tell Everett about this, and so all of his life the boy grew up never knowing he had a half-sister who was just a year younger than him.

Really, she was protecting Ev from ever finding out that he had another half-sister out there somewhere. She didn't want her son to get hurt, and so he grew up normally, Everett always just being... Everett. He discovered from an early age on he had his own mind and didn't want to be a part of some of the things people expected of him. Everett was a jokester, in some sarcastic, caustic sort of way. He was just... odd. As he got into high school he sort of started to get into a bit of trouble...

He just experimented with some stuff. Didn't really get 'hooked' or nothing, but he did come to enjoy marijuana a bit too much. During his free time at home he had begun to teach himself the bass guitar, and a group of kids heard him playing and recognized his talent, so - he joined a band when he was like sixteen, and got into a couple of bad spots that way. You know.

Meanwhile, Ev found out that he had a half-sister somewhere in an incident in which the girl's mother called and Ev's dad wasn't at home. It just sort of happened... and of course, he wigged out about it. It felt like his entire life was a lie, and he began to spend more and more time away from home and out being a bit wild.

His parents actually didn't find out he was smoking pot until he was eighteen - his father found a joint in the bathroom and freaked out because it was all "illegal" and he was a "lawyer" and no son of his was going to be a delinquent. He really started fighting with his parents his last year in high school, beginning to develop a sort of bitterness for the way they had lied to him.

They had it out... and he and his father had a pretty heated, intense fight. Everett sort of lost it and struck the man and so his parents decided to ship him away for a while until he calmed down. Guess where. But Ev surprisingly [or perhaps not so surprisingly...] was okay with this, glad even. After all, that normal, boring life of his wasn't so neutral anymore, was it? Suddenly he was thrust into a world of chaos, and it was sort of the best thing to ever happen to him.

So here he is, at the island, on his own, brand-new and probably without any pot.

Can he do it?

Heck yes. He's Everett, he can do anything. Except whistle. And that still bothers him.</sup>
