DBD Imagines

Archie MacMillan never remarried, however picked up a habit of taking many women into his bed to fill his loneliness. He only ever truly loved the one woman in his life, and with her gone, women were little more than disposable. He rarely interacted with his son, but Evan grew always watching his actions, determined to prove his worth and be the man his father wanted of him. However, Archie’s behavior wasn’t the best to strive towards. His father had a cut throat work ethic, and very often showed little care to those who worked for him. Work was prioritized over all else, and the only good worker was one that was still able to produce the maximum amount. He was often unfair and cruel, and had deep rooted racist tenancies, all of which were absorbed by his attentive son.

Evan was taught from home with teachers brought in to teach him. His education was scrutinized and picked through by his father, so that only he deemed necessary was taught to his son. For his time, Evan was rather smart, well learned especially in math and business, and even more so in the upkeep of the mines and smelting iron. He spent a great deal of time in the mines, wanting to learn the intricacies of the gritty work itself. Through this, he learned some respect for the workers of the mine, but would never express that to his father’s face.

As far as emotional intelligence goes, however, Evan is rather blunted. He has no real people skills, but has charisma based mainly in fear. He struggles with the ability to empathize or sympathize, both being skills that were seen as ‘not needed’, and as such speaks very bluntly and very short. He’s straight to the point and tries to be concise. He also thinks he knows better than others, and has a large ego.

As his father’s health deteriorated, Evan moved smoothly into the job of Foreman. His father’s word was law, but Evan was the hand and mouth that worked for him. He buried any part of his personality that may be distasteful in his father's eyes, and in doing so he flourished as a foreman and as his father’s Enforcer. He’d never bothered pursuing a wife in his time before the Entity, seeing it as a needless distraction, but he did take his fathers’ habit of bedding many women. It’s incredibly likely he has bastard children, but he was never around long enough to learn of them.

The destruction of the mines was the will of his father, and despite knowing of his fathers growing insanity, he followed through on the final command before being taken by the Entity.

Evan fought against the Entity when he was taken, refusing to it’s bidding. He only ever listened to his father, and he felt above the creature that stole him. He was punished and tortured, twisted by the Entity in the flaming forge of the foundry. Over time he grew numb to the pain of the metal embedded in his flesh, the shrapnel becoming a part of him. His hair was seared off his body entirely, his skin dry and cracked and even more calloused than it had been before. 

The role of enforcer for the Entity wasn’t a difficult one to slide into, the tasks more violent than the will of his father but still straight forward. In his many years within the Entity, he grew a fierce bloodlust, and despite his initial hesitance at the job he was forced into, he’s one of the most loyal killers to the Entity. 

Like many of the other killers, the Trapper prefers a life of isolation when not in a trial. His realm is massive, and many bear traps can be found scattered throughout. The teeth of said traps catch both survivors and other killers off guard, though the latter more easily remove themselves when they’re unlucky enough to find one. He chases other killers out of his property when he finds them, protective of what little he does call his own. Survivors are often killed on sight.

The Trapper doesn’t leave his own realm for nearly any reason. He’s not an instigator by nature, but will deal with those who come to him looking for a fight. He rather prefers his own solitary time.

He doesn’t like being considered on the same ‘level’ of the other killers, especially when it comes to the Doctor. The idea that a black man is more intelligent than him, both in being more educated and being from a time well beyond him, makes him furious. The fact that the Doctor is also equipped with electricity which he is conductive to, doesn’t help at all.

He refuses to state he has any sort of kinship with the other killers, but the Wraith is an odd one out of the group. Despite Evans racist tendencies, he does have a rare respect for Philip. The Wraith came after Evan did, and Evan was witness to the man's anger and outrage at the Entity. He watched him fight back longer than even he had, and watched him break into the beast he is today. As such, he actually won’t attack Philip if he chooses to come into his realm.
