Evelyn

Evelyn Renard is an angel who serves Lady Light on the uncharted planet of Imperium. She is also a rare case of Persistent Soul Consciousness, a condition in which a soul retains the memories of a previous life into a future one.

Appearance and Powers
Evelyn's unnaturally large bosom tends to be the first thing people notice when she enters a room. To explain the size of her chest is to delve into the questionable physiology of angels as a species. According to Archangel Gloriana, the sexual appeal of the angel species is necessary to inspire and awe mortals, thus ensuring their cooperation. In Evelyn's case though, her chest is excessive even by angel standards. Evelyn allegedly possessed a large chest in her previous life, and believes that there is thus a link between her current and past bust sizes.

As outlandish as Evelyn's theory may seem, it holds water when one considers that she has retained her vulpine ears and tail from her previous life as well. Evelyn's unique fox-features and past memories have made her somewhat of a spectacle among angels, drawing the continued attention of the Archangel herself.

Aside from these more unusual features, Evelyn is a typical angel, possessing tanned skin and massive, powerful wings, which are capable of supporting even her fully armored bulk in flight. Evelyn does claim to have more difficulty keeping aloft than most angels due to her size, and thus she prefers to walk and glide rather than fly for sustained periods.

Evelyn's armor was self-made, and is composed of gold-plated steel. It is necessary that every angel be born with innate armorsmithing ability because of their hostile relationship with the Obsidian Lords, the faction responsible for outfitting most other Elementals with armour. Though the angels cannot compare to the Obsidian Lords' expertise, their armour is sturdy and sufficient for battle. Angels also possess powerful healing magic and, importantly, an elemental core rather than a heart, meaning that by drawing attention to their chest, they can actually distract opponents from other parts of their body where said core might be located.

Evelyn's grasp of Light Magic is formidable, but unremarkable by angelic standards. Like all angels, she relies heavily on blinding her opponents with bright light before swooping in to dispose of them. Though this tactic is less effective against foes who do not need to rely on their eyesight, Evelyn's skill in combat helps supplement it in these rare situations.

Biography
Evelyn was allegedly born as a Vulpine on the UDS allied planet Earth, in the American city of Dystopolis. Evelyn belonged to an exceedingly wealthy but dysfunctional family, and claims she received little guidance from her family aside from monetary support. With her excessive wealth, Evelyn bought herself prestige and social relevance, and became a powerful figure in Dystoplis' social climate. By the time she was attending University, Evelyn was supposedly so well known that 85% of teenagers and young adults in the city could recognize her by her first name alone.

With this fame, Evelyn found power, and quickly allowed it to spiral out of hand. Obsessed with having her way, the young Ms Renard destroyed the lives of anyone she deemed to be a threat to her social dominance, and regularly bullied less affluent women, for her own amusement if nothing else.

Eventually, Evelyn's cruel behavior was her downfall. After tormenting a troubled young Jackie Burnett, Evelyn became a victim of Jackie's violent tendencies and ended up an unwitting meal for the Lagomorph. Though Evelyn's story ought to have ended here, her consciousness in fact persisted due to Underworld negligence. Rather than wipe or lock her past memories, those in charge of handling Evelyn's soul merely layered her new identity as an angel atop her existing character. Before the mistake could be identified, Evelyn was reborn on far-off Imperium, now possessing the core of an Elemental and the memories of a mortal. This slip-up had other consequences, such as her residual Vulpine features, but perhaps its greatest impact was to grant Evelyn a deep sense of humility. With her fresh identity to ground her once indomitable ego, Evelyn claims that she finally experienced remorse for her past actions. Through applying herself to her newfound duties on Imperium, Evelyn came to enjoy her relative anonymity, and gained an intimate appreciation for the second chance she had apparently been given.

Despite her new strength of character, this idyllic stage in Evelyn's life was short lived. She soon became aware of the deficiencies and hypocrisy of the angels, particularly Archangel Gloriana. Recognizing some of herself in Gloriana, Evelyn found herself bitter at the corrupt state of Lady Light's kingdom of Blightwood (formerly Brightwood). Following months of introspection, she vowed to continue working hard to make Imperium a better place, even if many of her compatriots were lacking in such compassion.

It was around this time that Evelyn herself drew Gloriana's interest, much to her own chagrin. Rather than return Evelyn's soul to be wiped, Gloriana found her vulpine soldier's unique character entertaining, and began setting Evelyn aside as her personal errand-girl of choice. Though Evelyn has expressed frequent reluctance to assist Gloriana in some of these tasks, she seems aware of the Archangel's power over her, as Gloriana does indeed still possess the ability to send Evelyn back to the Underworld at any point should the girl's overdeveloped conscience lose its charm.

As of the events of Axugaem2, Evelyn has been promoted from Guard to Commander, a relatively high ranking in the Angelic Hierarchy. Her competency and work ethic are respected by her peers, and her positive nature has earned her both friendship and some mockery depending on where one looks. Evelyn currently fights to protect her new home in Blightwood from threats both internal and external: the angels scramble to fight back both the mysterious blight that has slowly claimed the forest and the vampiric monsters that were once their citizens, now warped by the corruption around them; At the same time, word of Blightwood's state has reached outside ears, and now a powerful force of Fire Elementals under the command of Duke General Caldryn has established a foothold at the edge of the forest, where they have begun to light the land ablaze in an attempt to purge its inherent corruption.

Aided by her close (and only) friends -the similarly unusual angels Salvation "Sally" Everglow and Mercutia "Mercy" Sunlance- Evelyn holds General Caldryn's forces back from the rest of Blightwood in a tempestuous stalemate, desperate to gain any sort of advantage over the ruthless and relentless Fire Elementals.

Relationships
Evelyn had her pick of men (and women) on Earth, but on Imperium, she has expressed hesitancy to become involved intimately with anyone just yet. That said, rumours have circulated that the Archangel Gloriana may possess a more carnal interest in Evelyn. If these rumours are true, Evelyn has yet to acknowledge them nor Gloriana's supposed advances.

Evelyn is more open to close personal friendships, and counts her bodyguards Mercy and Sally as her closest. The trio emerged from the same batch of 'recruits' and have remained tight-knit, though Evelyn's recent elevation to Commander has had her spending more time abroad while her companions hold the choke point between Blightwood and Caldryn's ever-growing fiery wasteland- called the Scab.

Evelyn and General Caldryn have butted heads indirectly since the General's arrival, but with both seeking to turn the battle for Blightwood in their favour, it seems inevitable that their paths will begin to cross in more direct -and violent- ways...

Notable Appearances

Trivia

 * Evelyn was originally based off the Pokemon Eevee, but has since been reworked to represent a red fox.
 * Evelyn's Resurrection on Imperium during the current timeline seems to suggest that the timeline of Imperium is concurrent with that of Future Axiworld, which appears to present problems for the greater continuity of the Axuverse.
