Evals (IPA(key) /ˈɛvɑls/), a male Dog Keidran and originally a slave belonging to Eric Vaughan. When Evals was originally captured to be sold as a slave he met Mike, a fellow slave, and the two became friends. At some point both friends happened to be brought by the same person, Eric Vaughan. Evals and Mike have worked together for most of their lives and together with Eric's other slave Kathrin assist in the running of his small merchant business.
After encouraging Trace Legacy, Eric embarled on a journey to the Basaitin Isles taking Evals with him. On the journey back however, a misunderstanding about an accident onboard made Eric attempt to recast mind control spells on both Evals and Mike, an action Eric had originally considered inhumane, but he was stopped by Kathrin. Soon after docking in village of Edinmire and making their way to the nearby Legacy Estate Eric decided to free all of his slaves, which included Evals. Now a free Keidran Evals plans to return to Dog territory and rejoin his family along with Mike, though he isn't so sure about his plan due to the apparent distaste Dog Keidran have for Foxes.

"A typical Keidran slave."
Biography[]
"Evals was once one of several slaves working under Eric. His job was primarily to maintain Eric's ship. He's good friends with Mike, another ex-slave on Eric's ship. Though Evals is larger then Mike, Mike is usually the one who takes charge."
Appearance[]
Evals looks like a typical Dog Keidran, he has brown fur that covers his whole body and a head of shoulder length hair of the same shade of brown topped with droopy canine ears. He also has brown eyes.
Evals is seen always wearing the same set of clothes, just a simple light brown shirt and a pair of baggy black trousers, probably becuase he doesn't own much else due to him being a slave.
Biography[]
History[]
Evals was born into a comically large family of Dog Keidran around 468-469, with one of his older sisters being called Erilas. When Evals was still young, he was captured by Human slavers, an event which led to his first meeting with a young Fox Keidran and fellow slave called Mike. Mike had been born in to slavery and knew nothing of freedom like Evals did, yet despite Mike's naive nature and the racial tensions between Dogs and Foxes, the two became friends. Eventually Evals and Mike were purchased by the family of Eric Vaughan, which ran a small family merchant company.
After the sudden deaths of Eric's parents, the ones who had originally purchased them, Eric's older brother Roderick became their owner. However, due to his involvement in the Templar, it presumably left him with little time at home, and even less time to be ordering around a pair of slaves working for a merchant company he didn't want to run. Eric soon convinced his brother to sell the slaves to him, along with another slave he had inherited, Kathrin, fearing that his brother's hostile nature and hate for Keidean could lead to them being abused. Eric also took up the mantel of running the family business as well instead, setting Evals and Mike to work as ship hands. Although Evals has his issues with Eric's ownership, and the favoritism his fellow slave Kathrin seems to receive from his new master, he accepts that Eric treats him fairly and that he was a much better alternative than working for Roderick.

Chapter 10[]
After arriving on the Basidian Islands, the Evals and Mike were instructed by Eric to guard his ship while the rest of the party explored the Island. After a incident in which he accidentally disturbed her while in cat form Mike was cursed with an illusion by Lady Nora that made him appear female, which visibly excited Evals. Evals begged to see his new female body and tried to make a deal with Mike that in exchange for a look he would keep the curse a secret from Eric, a prospect which Mike didn't want to imagine. Mike tried to back out later and a fight ensued, ending when Mike punched Evals in the nose and caused him to have a nosebleed.
Chapter 11[]
Feeling guilty about hitting his best friend, Mike relented and stripped for Evals before falling asleep Inadvertently, Mike grabbed onto Evals' tail in his sleep and wouldn't let go, and Evals shrugged then smiled to himself before climbing into bed while slyly noting that it would be rude to wake him.
Evals woke to find Mike kissing him in his sleep, which was caused by a dream the latter had of a beautiful vixen, a detail still unknown to Evals. Predictablely Evals appeared to be fine with this development until he realized that Mike had transformed back into a guy again at which point he cried out in surprise and the pair were promptly interrupted by Kathrin. Evals later brought up this kiss in conversation while most of the main cast were fighting at against the Templar at their tower. Mike became flustered and denied that anything had happened but then admitted it was his first kiss, a detail which surprised Evals.
Chapter 12[]

Chapter 14[]
Evals does not let the idea of freedom go and even after Group A set sail away from the Basitin Islands he continued his attempts to convince Mike that they should attempt to escape their slavery, but now that Eric and the rest of the group are back they must stage a mutiny instead of just stealing the ship. It becomes clear that Evals holds his enslavement especially abhorrent because he remembers what it was like to be free. This contrasts with Mike, who was born into slavery and knows no other life. Upon seeing Natani Evals tries to convince him to join him and Mike in a mutiny, a offer that Natani eventually declines due to his preoccupation with a despondent Keith.
When Eric refuses Flora and Trace's request to free his slaves, Evals is visibly upset. Although Mike is dependent as the leader of the pair Evals takes control once again and strongly urges Mike that enough is enough and that if they can't stage a mutiny then they should just make a run for it. When Mike expresses his doughts Evals even offers to let him live with him and his family back in Dog territory.
Most recently, Evals was accused of setting fire to the ship as part of an escape plan by Eric, shortly after the latter learned that the control spells in Mike and Evals' collars had been deactivated. In order to determine the truth, Eric placed a new control spell collar on Evals despite the slave's pleas. Eric later finds that is was not Evals or Mike that set the fire, although he did learn of the plans to overthrow him. Instead it was the stowaway Madelyn. After Kathrin got in an argument Eric agreed to sell both Evals and Mike as slaves to Trace so he can later release them of slavery.

Personality[]
Evals can be seen as both loyal and disloyal at the same time. He has a great respect for his family and those he considers a friend and would do anything to stay by their side however at the same time he is also rebellious to those that stand in his way such as Eric who's ownership of Evals had kept him tethered for a large portion of his life. Evals makes multiple efforts to escape his slavery and seem to have no problem screwing others over if it means that he and Mike are better off in the end, an example of this would be Evals' persistent pleas to Mike so they could steal Eric's ship while everybody else was on shore at the Basitin Islands and escape. By effect people he considers neutral seem to be acceptable casualties as he had no second thoughts about all of Trace's group being stranded on the Islands along with Eric. Evals could be considered a bit of a pervert, after discovering Mike spontaneously changed gender the first thing he did was beg Mike to show him his new body. Although he does seem to hold distaste for Eric, much more than Mike does due to not knowing a life of freedom, he has noted that Eric doesn't keep them under control spells and is genuinely not a bad guy which he is thankful for. Evals main desire is freedom and to see his family again, he's a dreamer who has always put those he loves before strangers even if they have done no harm to him. Evals seems to be a alright guy when it comes down to it but years of a slave who knew to joys of freedom have made him slightly bitter.
After he and Mike were released by Eric he seems to have brightened up a lot more compared to his old self, he has been seen taking full advantage of his new freedoms by lazing around and discussing his next big plans to return to his family with Mike but his friend isn't so sure he's thought it all through.
