Habits:
When first getting to know people, Everett has a tendency to bite his lip and avoid eye contact. Also, when he's nervous, he tends to stammer and try to run away. Given that he can't, he blushes as red as his hair and starts to panic.
Crush:
None
Personality:
Everett is very much a scaredy-cat, often said to jump at even his own shadow. It certainly doesn't help that now he's in a school with demons, vampires, ghosts, angels.... It just makes him all the more terrified of the people around him. He's an awkward person at heart, nervous when people start talking to him and having a hard time maintaining eye contact. He's very fun to tease since he gets very flustered, especially if he can't run away from the situation. He's well aware of his own faults and tries hard to overcome them, but it's not very easy for him. He's not a very trusting person and is easily discouraged.
However, despite all of that, he's actually a bright young man and fun-loving underneath his exterior. It just takes a good friend to get to that part of him and break him out of his shell. When he's enthusiastic about something, he can talk about it in total confidence, sometimes only realizing that he lost his stammer after the fact. He's a hard worker as well, and, if encouraged, he can do great things. Everett also worries about people, but will only speak up about it if you're his friend. Otherwise he might just alert a teacher.

Skills:
*Running away- It's not so much that he's excessively fast, it's just that he's basically an amateur escape artist, a practiced talent that he uses to escape awkward and dangerous situations
*Swimming- Everett is an excellent swimmer and swimming is one of the few times when he actually relaxes
*Photography- He's really an excellent photographer and takes wonderful photos. It's just that he doesn't like to show them to people
*Danger magnet- Well, it's not so much of a good skill as it is a bad one. Ever since he was a child, he's seemed to attract danger; dangerous people, dangerous situations... He's really not very lucky, but he always manages to get out of it.

History:
Everett's childhood started off normally if not a little lonely. His father and mother both held time-consuming jobs- his mother a successful defense lawyer and his father the American ambassador to England. His older siblings didn't want to have anything to do with the little brat who insisted on following them around, so, between busy parents and irritated siblings, Everett had to find other ways to keep himself occupied. He turned to television and books as soon as he could read, falling into the fantasy worlds instead of interacting with real live human beings, setting the stage for future social awkwardness to come.
Everything still remained relatively normal until, one day, his father brought some of his associates from work, a husband and wife with their own daughter, home with him to have dinner. After the meal, his siblings retreated to their rooms and his parents and the couple decided to have coffee, leaving little Everett to entertain their guests' daughter. As it turned out, that was a big mistake. All was fine, well, awkward but fine, until Everett accidentally got a paper cup. The young girl attacked him, biting his neck until her parents rushed in to break them apart. It turns out that the family were vampires, a fact that Everett's parents had known given his father's position in the government, and now Everett did too and, rather than mystifying him, it terrified him.
This was his first but not last encounter with the supernatural. Incidents littered his childhood and preteen years where he, danger prone as he was, would stumble across demons, vampires, angels, ghosts... Sometimes it was rather benign, just recognizing that they were something other than human. Other times it went just as well as it did with the little vampire girl so many years ago; that is, not at all. All of this combined with his social awkwardness made him start to become a little paranoid and certainly afraid. Humans weren't alone out there and were far from prepared if anything were to happen with the other species.
Being sent to Arcbell Academy was just the newest in his parents' attempts to get him to overcome his fears and social awkwardness. It would work, in their opinion, like throwing someone who can't swim into the deep end. Hopefully Everett doesn't drown.
