Evit is one of the most uniquely gifted and fiercely guarded radios in the infected sector. His existence challenges the biological and physical laws of the world, making him a crucial ally to Edge and Kyree.
Sarcastic and Blunt: Evit has a very direct, often harsh way of speaking, especially to Edge. He calls Edge a “sell out” for living in the clean sector and is skeptical of his motives. He admits he has a “hard time trusting people”, which explains his initial hostility toward the “infamous Edge” who works for Digitech.
Loyal and Protective (Selective): While distrustful of outsiders, Evit is deeply protective of his friend, Kyree. He expresses concern for her well being, stating he can “feel the heaviness” they are under and noting that Kyree has been “miserable” for the past four years. His loyalty to Kyree overrides his caution, as he ultimately agrees to help them break into the Moon facility.
Cynical and World Weary: Having been isolated in the infected sector and forced to live with his mutation, Evit is cynical about the outside world. He warns Edge not to think his “worlder friends would help” after they’ve been “walking on us for years”. When kidnapped and assaulted by “worlders,” he calls them “ignorant” and his resolve to help fight them is solidified, stating, “Those worlder bastards made this shit personal now”.
Evit’s identity is inextricably linked to his unique, profound psychic mutation:
Incorporeal Passage: Evit has the ability to pass through anything, including rock and brick walls. He stays in the rock near the jagged rocks because he “feels safe where no one can get at him”. This ability makes him the perfect asset for infiltration, allowing him to bypass the heavy security of Ramone Moon’s factory.
Physical Display: This power is physically taxing. When using his ability, a bulge bubbles up on the rock surface , his skin appears red and covered in cracks, and he is nude, covered in sweat, and breathing heavily upon exiting solid objects.
Evit’s challenges are primarily external, stemming from his unique vulnerability and the suspicion he faces:
Isolation and Insecurity: His power, while remarkable, has forced him into a deep isolation, literally living inside a rock to feel safe. This has likely contributed to his cynicism and mistrust of others.
Physical and Psychological Strain: Using his power is exhausting, as indicated by his heavy breathing, sweating, and his comment that burrowing too deep into the rock was “cold as hell”.
Conflict with Outsiders: He becomes a direct target of the “worlders” after helping Edge and Kyree, being kidnapped, threatened, and beaten. This transforms his generalized prejudice into a personal motivation for revenge, as he dedicates himself to helping Kyree and Edge defeat their common enemy.
