EVANGELINE JOHNSON




"Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back"

------------------------------------------------------

Full Name - Evangeline Johnson
Nicknames/Alias - Eve
Age - 18
Date of Birth - july 17th
Gender - female
Sexual Orientation - bisexual
Affiliation - neutral
Occupation - mechanic

Play-By - zooey deschanel
Build - petite (very small and thin)
Height & Weight - 5'4" and 110lbs
Hair - Eve has long hair that falls past her breasts. It is very thick and wild. She never really pays it much mind, even likes it messiness as it gives her something to hide behind. It's often quite ratty and knotty, and very very frizzy and curly. It's a dark brown colour and she almost always wears it down.
Eyes - Her eyes are a bright blue colour. She has quite large (almost too large), pretty eyes.
Unique Features - She often had bruises on her body from her abusive step-father, but most of them have faded by now, the only scar that remains is a small cut through the left side of her lip, which was actually accidentally self inflicted.
Dressing Style - When she ran away, she didn't take much, clothing wise, just what she had on her back and a few spare coats and what have you she could find lying around. She usually wears a poofy, cream coloured dress, which is quite dirty (so that you can hardly tell what colour it is) and riddled with patches and tears, that used to be puffy and long (past her feet) but has been roughly cut so it stops just below her knees. She wears it with a pair of comfortable combat boots and a tight brown over-coat. Around her waist she wears a tool belt, in which she keeps her personal belongings (which ain't many), her trusty knife and any knick-knacks she needs for doing her mechanical business.

Overall Personality -
Eve was raised in an abusive environment, her only escapes being mechanical work and learning, so many habits to what she thinks are necessary for survival have been drilled into her head. For example, she is very very shy. She'll rarely speak unless spoken to and tries to avoid people at all costs. She figures, if she speaks up, people will get mad and she'll pay the price. She tries to go unnoticed as much as possible and she is very good at blending in. She's naturally a small girl, and she has a wild curtain of hair to hide behind, so she is quite talented at going unnoticed. When engaged in conversation, you'll usually find her looking down and avoiding eye contact. She also flinches and gets scared at a slightly raised hand or an angry toned voice. She is a very blunt, to-the-point person, and though she tries to say the right thing, she has trouble understanding social cues and often ends up saying what she really thinks instead of the customary white lies that are required in situations, or she'll say something rude without knowing it. She's usually quiet and will go about her business and follow orders with out bothering anyone, but if an issue comes up that she feels strongly about, she's not afraid to intervene, even if she thinks it'll put herself in danger. She tries to avoid confrontation at all costs, but she refuses to be a victim again and, as she is small and not physically strong, she carries around a knife (she doesn't know how to use a gun) with her at all times.

This section is for you to tell us about the people in your life,
include whatever details you'd like - the more the better!
For example; full name, age(or age they died at), occupation, status(living or deceased), affiliation..etc

Father - She never met her father (he died whilst her mother was pregnant with her), all she knows about him is that he was a mechanic who was killed under suspicious circumstances (Jeb Everett, the man he worked for who ended up marrying his wife, was suspected, but it was never proven).
Mother - Her mother was called Claudia Johnson (later Claudia Everett). She died when Eve was only 15. Her mother was a resident on Persephone, a border planet. After her husband died in the civil war, she was quickly forced into a marriage with Jeb Everett who had been eyeing Claudia, as she was quite pretty, for a while. He was slightly abusive to her through-out the marriage (though not too bad). Claudia was an intelligent woman who always encouraged Eve to read and learn as much as possible.
Siblings - only child. her mother could not conceive another child with her step-father.
Other Significant People - Her Step Father Her step father's name was Jeb Everett. He is a reasonably wealthy business man who got a lot of his money from doing up broken/worn ships and making them look brand new again (even if they did not work properly) and then re-selling them. He was a determined man, and if he wanted something, he got, and that was the case with Claudia Johnson. Through-out the marriage, he wasn't too bad - he provided for her and Eve, allowing Eve to have a good education and he introduced her to engines and ships. He was always a slightly abusive man though and often got rough with both Claudia and Eve. When Claudia died, however, he started to become both abusive, drunk and depressed. He is still alive now.

Your History -
Eve was born on the 17th of July to Claudia Johnson. Her father had died that year due to a work 'accident'. It was an uncomplicated birth and though Claudia was happy to have Eve, Claudia had just months before, just after her husband had died, been forced to marry her husbands boss, Jeb Everett, and was worried about having to raise her with him. She was always quite intelligent and she was provided with a reasonably good education which nurtured this intelligence. When she was not at school, she was made to work at her step-fathers shop and help with the mechanical things. This is where her love of engines and mechanics came from as she quickly realised she was quite good at what she was doing, and she was not only able to make the machines look like they could work well (like her step-father wanted) but that she could actually make them work well! Due to this skill, her step-father had the rest of the men who worked at the shop leave her alone and he was not to abusive with her, only the occasional hit when she stepped out of line (in his opinion). However, this changed when her mother died of a simple disease when she was only 15.

The effects were devastating for both Eve and her step-father. He fell into a state of depression and spent most of his nights at the tavern. He pulled Eve out of school so she could work at the shop 24/7. Despite her education suffering, she managed to sneak out often enough to borrow books from the library and tried to keep herself as educated as possible. Because her step-father spent a lot of time in the tavern, he wasn't there to protect her from the other men who worked at the shop, and she was often leered at, vocally abused, groped and sometimes (if they had been drinking) even raped. When her step-father got home, if he managed not to pass out from drunkenness, would often give her a beating or two. She tried to avoid this abuse as much as possible, but it was unrelenting. After her 18th birthday, she realised that she didn't have to put up with it anymore, and decided that she wanted to run away and get a job on a ship as a mechanic. She packed whatever she could find and before she left grabbed a knife from the shop. She had to protect herself. She wasn't going to be the victim anymore. Unfortunately., on her way out, she ran into her step-father, who was refusing to let her leave and when he tried to hit her, she panicked and stabbed him in the leg, she attempted to ran past him but he grabbed her ankle and tripped her over, and the knife in her hand accidentally nicked her lip. The pain was more then enough motivation to push her back on her feet and hurtling out the house. She ran out of the house without looking back, and she still does not know what happened to him; if he's looking for her, etc. She made her way to the docks and hoped to find a ship that'll take her. Alliance, criminal, she didn't care, she was young and had limited experience and would go with whoever would take her.

Roleplay Example -
Eve meekly attempted to dust off the dirt that had now completely covered the cream dress that she wore as she saw in the distance the large, intimidating Eavesdown Docks. She adjusted the many petticoat layers, tightened her coat and tried (and failed) to smooth her wayward hair, that had become frizzier than usual due to the heat that she just spent hours walking through, in an attempt to make her self more presentable. She knew if she was going to get a job on a ship, she needed to make herself look as… respectable as possible. She didn't mind what ship choose to take her, anything with an engine and a crew that didn't look to intimidating would do, although she did secretly hope that she would be lucky enough to get a ship with a good engine. Something whose workings she could admire and learn from. But she refused to set her expectations any higher. Maybe she could get onto a better ship later, but for now, she just need to fly.

With that thought in mind, she took a determined step forward towards the Docks but instead found herself on a downwards spiral to the ground. She caught herself just in time and with a huff sat up again, now more covered with dirt then ever. Frustrated, tired and now slightly angry, she pulled out the knife, stained with drying blood, from her belt and unceremoniously began hacking away at her dress. She had no home now and no money. She was no longer a fancy lady and she didn't need no gorram fancy dress getting in her way! Once she thought the dress was at a reasonable length, she stood up and smiled at the blazing sun, new determination bubbling through her blood. She could do this. She would do this. She took another determined - this time unhindered - stride towards the docks.
All she had to do was keep her head down, not draw attention to herself, get a job on any ship and get out of this feh feh pi goh of a planet.

SYR INTEGRA of CAUTION 2.0 created this and she will happily hunt you down, rip out your spinal cord, and beat you to death with it if you steal her hard work and claim it as your own. especially since she will gladly share it with any and all who wish to use it, provided they leave her nice, little credit attached.
