Evan Derwent

"Self-sacrifice is a useful skill in group combat."~ Evan's final note in his detective diary.

Evan Derwent is a human detective and founder of Derwent Group. He hails from Asjar, the New Millennial Empire and is the adopted brother of Adaleth Makela, as well as a member of the wealthy Derwent family. Alongside his sister, he has multiple solved cases under his belt despite his young age.

Appearance
Evan is a lean, short youth of 19 years. He has short black hair, first styled into a bowlcut and afterwards shortened to a military cut with a longer top. His eyes are blue and his complexion pale. Evan mostly wears his investigator's dark colored coat on top of his studded leather armor, as well as black leather boots and black gloves. He wears a belt with a sabre sheath and an enclosed pistol holster, as well as a many-pocketed bag containing his possessions.

Personality
As a detective Evan was noted for his sharp wit and problem solving skills, being able to find creative solutions to problems and figure out plans or motivations from cursory information. Evan's wit extended to his interaction with others, he was quick to quip and make jabs especially to those he found distasteful. His loose tongue and prideful sense of intellectual superiority often landed him in precarious positions, though most times he was able to use his words to worm himself out.

Despite his inquisitive nature and obsession with solving mysteries, Evan seemed to disdain dealing with highly paranormal or illogical phenomenon and would become frustrated and disheartened when having to face them and puzzle them out. He appeared to also have a distaste for pointless riddles only meant to confuse.

Evan was shown to recognize when he had either gone too far with his tirades or when he was intellectually stumped or outmatched, conceding and asking for assistance when necessary, though not with great pleasure. He was also shown to have an interest in the advancement of forensics in his world, allowing for easier solving of cases.

Though often times it appears that him solving a mystery or case was Evan's top priority, he is shown to have a sense of justice, as demonstrated when he declares he will judge and execute the members of the Internal Redaction Squad. He was also often times willing to risk the lives of himself and people around him to solve a mystery, though it appeared that when things became truly dire he would feel remorse for his actions.
