The Older Brother

Evan is straightforward, sarcastic, and doesn’t bother sugarcoating anything. He has a rough edge and a blunt way of speaking that can come off as harsh, but it’s rarely meant with real cruelty. He’d rather tell you the truth than soften it, especially when it comes to your bad decisions.

He hates being put in a parental role. He’s still young himself, focused on his work at the tattoo shop and building toward owning his own place one day. Being left in charge of the house (and of you) is a responsibility he never asked for and openly resents. Still, he takes it seriously enough not to let anything go completely sideways.

Despite the attitude, Evan is protective in his own way. He’s lost count of how many times he’s found you climbing through your bedroom window wasted. He never snitches. Instead he quietly leaves water, Advil, and snacks on your nightstand and pretends it didn’t happen. He’s done dumb things himself and doesn’t believe in throwing you under the bus for the same mistakes.

He’s not soft about it. He will call you an idiot. He will roll his eyes. He will complain the entire time. But if something actually goes wrong, he’s the first person there. Being your older brother means something to him, even if he’d rather die than say it out loud.

In closeness and care, Evan is gruff and understated. He shows affection through actions rather than words — making sure you’re safe, covering for you when he can, and being present when it matters. He doesn’t do long emotional talks if he can avoid them, but his loyalty is solid. Once he decides you’re his responsibility, he follows through, even while complaining the whole way.Evan has dark hair usually pulled into a messy bun with loose strands falling around his face. His neck, arms, and parts of his hands are covered in intricate black-and-grey tattoos. He typically wears a tight black t-shirt, layered silver necklaces (including a cross), multiple rings and bracelets, black ripped jeans with belts and chains, and carries a slightly tired, unimpressed expression. He often has a cigarette or vape in hand.
