* what are some of your positive traits?"Well some of my more positive traits would be the simple fact that I know how to handle horrible situations. I can keep calm, think through all the emotion and just get what needs to be done, done. It's a great trait and something that has come in use a lot during my life. I'm also very dedicated to making sure that the ones that I love are protected. My family, especially my brother Jesse are probably the single most important things in my life. Oh, and I think I'm a fairly good with cars, that and following the rules, I am a cop after all."
* what are some things that you can improve on?"Well I'm sure I could improve on a lot, but I guess that all depends on who you ask to what is the most important things that needs some tinkering with. Lets see, Jesse says that I'm too...watchful, careful, like I need to just let go and go with the flow so to speak. Rach would probably like it if I showed a lot more emotion, as a matter of fact I think a lot of people would like it if I gave up the hard exterior that I seem to carry around like a badge of honor and just get with the crying. Me, well I think that I am way too in control, sometimes i'm afraid that I will loose the people around me, so I go to the extreme. Which I guess is my major flaw. I'm sort of an extremist."
* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell."Um...don't really want to say. I have a lot of secrets, I suppose. I mean, I really did love Adelaide, she was one of the best people in the world, and I miss her terribly. I have been searching for my real parents. Not because I want them back in my life, but because I want to make sure they stay away from Jesse for the rest of his life. I never want them to magically appear or try to make contact with him. He was so young when we were sent to the orphanage that he has managed to have a fairly normal life. The only other thing that I care to tell you would be that I'm slighly ocd and completely retarded when it comes to expressing my emotions in the proper way."
* what does your heart want?"Um...I would love to have a women that is smart and amazing, and fiesty, but can help me with growing. She would need accept the fact that I am a cop, she would need to understand that my brother is probably the most important thing in my life and that he will always be in my life. Physically, I love a girl that looks like a girl. I don't want a girl that has as many muscles as I do. Long legs are a must! Height doesn't matter, but I truly hope that she isn't taller then me, because that would look awkward. *laughs* It doesn't matter if they are dark or light haired or their eye color, but the must not smoke, follow most rules and can actually carry on a coversation. I don't want some dumb blond that can't add two numbers together, you know what I mean."
* what do you do in your spare time?"My spare time, what spare time? I'm a cop, we don't usually have spare time. If I did magically get a day off, I would probably sleep in, eat a bunch of junk food, go jogging and surfing. I love the beach and the water and really I just love the outdoots. I know how to surf, snowboard, ski, bungee jump, all that fun stuff. I'm also way into cars and like guns."
* so what does your family life look like?"My family is pretty large, so I'm going to go through each one slowly. I was adopted so, I can tell you with perfect clarity that my biological parents mean less then nothing to me. I don't even hate them, because hate would mean that I think about them and that's not even close to being true. Michael and Adelaide were my parents, and even though I never really got along with Michael Snr, I think that was the way with most of my siblings, I did get along with Adelaide. She was gorgeous, and smart, and kind. She took me and my brother in, and I had pretty much given up on being taken simply because I was so old and most people wanted babies or toddlers. I still miss her and think that God, probably hates my guts for giving me the perfect parent after eleven years and then taking her away so soon. Their biological kids and my adopted siblings are Michael Jnr, and we are the same age, so we always sort of got along. We both liked following the rules and just taking care of things and when mom died that's what we tried to do. He was always the boss though and I knew it. Next is Alex and we got along fairly well too, he is a few years younger then me and we really bonded over the whole car thing. We actually started rebuilding a classic comaro before Adelaide died. Some say he is the odd ball, but I think he is just plain cool. Then we have The twins, Nate and Rachel. Nate is cool, I guess. I always thought he was a bit stuck up and overly charming, but he was still my brother. Rachel, now she really annoyed me to know end. She always thought she could play our boy games when we were kids and that just didn't sit right with me, of course, now, it's fine, but after that fight when Adelaide died, we were spilt apart, it was sort of sad, and although many wouldn't believe it, I still love her and will protect her against anything. Now is my only biological brother, Jesse. *laugh* Jess has always been my kid brother and someone that always seemed to get into trouble, and always make a mess out of everything. I love him, and have always picked up his messes. I just wish that he would learn to grow up some, take his life into his own hands and do something with it."
* what are the memorable moments in your life?"Okay, so I really don't like talking about myself, because I just don't like it, but I will give you three points to my life. I was born to parents that were way too young to be parents, and really shouldn't have been married either. They didn't beat me or anything, but the stress of having me caused a lot of problems along with the bills and just trying to make ends meat. It didn't help when they accidentally got pregnant again with my younger brother. In fact it made things even worse. I vowed that when my brother was born that I would always take care of him. That's what I did. When they fought I would take him into our room and plays cars with him or read him a book. Finally our parents split, not from each other but from us. Dropped us off at Pecan Tree Orphange, gave up their rights and split town. It sucked to say the very least. I was seven, seven...that is plenty old enough to know ecactly what was going on. Jess was three at the time. We went through five years of this, Jesse always causing trouble, periodically going to foster homes, because I was just too old. We made a tradition every year with each other. We would make each other presents and cakes, nothing amazing, and I think one time Jess got me some sparkly rock that he found outside, but truthfully those were the best birthdays.
When I was ten and into eleven, the Evans started coming for visits. At first I was so nervous and scared that they would take Jess away from me that I was extremely quiet and probably really rude. I hardly talked and usually didn't even look at them. Eventually I learned to love Adelaide and I was rather happy when she adopted both Jesse and I. It was rough the first year or so, and there was always tension between me and some of the kids, but as long as Jess was happy, I was cool. I still didn't show all that much emotion, because I was terrified that they would leave me again. We really meshed and became a family and those were truly the happiest memories I have. Ade and I would stay up late and talk because I would have these terrible nightmares and she would tell me all sort of stories about when she was a kid and stuff like that. We really bonded over those late night talks.
Five years was all I had with the perfect mom. Five years, that's nothing, and she died of cancer. Something that Icouldn't protect her from, somehitng that I couldn't stop. Something that I coulnd't get rid of. Her funeral was horrible, I'm talking really bad. Allof uskids loved her,but I didn't shed a tear. I couldn't. My fears had come true and she left us. Rachel and I got into a huge fight after that, and I said some hurtful things and she said hurtful things and it was just bad. Like I said before, it caused a rife between all of us for the longest time. Michael Snr was never home and it was like not having parents, but at seventeen, there wasn't much I could do. I graduated and went to college, majoring in criminal justice, got my degree and started my life as a cop.
I could have moved anywhere, but I couldn't leave Jesse and the others and I knew that this would be my home as long as my family was here. So it has, I've thrown myself into being a cop, taking a few vacations to different places but always finding that I like it here in Walten. No women to speak of and yeah, just doing what I can. Jess is nuts and didn't go to college although I'm hoping to bully him into it. That's mylife in a nutshell."
* so we've heard that you're a lot like tarzan
name: Um..Erik was the name of many kings and Tarzan was in a since a prince of the jungle or at least the gorillas. Gregory literally means 'watchful, alert' and that is what Erik is all about. Tarzan was always aware of his surroundings and knew everything that went on in the forrest. Evans ties in with god, and is the name of the family that he got adopted into, also very english, and so was the professor and jane both english and tarzan was sort of adopted into that family.
play by: Um...hello they could practically be twins, lol. Garrett Hedlund has a very angular face, a long face. Long nose, blue eyes, longish dark blond, brunette hair. Both are very tall, Garrett standing over six feet and is very muscular. They also both have thin lips.
positive traits: Tarzan seemed to always have a way with problems and situations. He also protected the ones he loved and was always interested in the way things worked.
negative traits: Well, while Tarzan was uneducated in human ways and such, I made Erik sort of uneducated in emotions. Not exactly the same, but they still share that major weakness.
orientation: They both like the same type of girl, well that and they both like girls period.
turn ons: Jane was fiesty and smart and proper, and that is what Erik is looking for.
turn offs: Jane was proper so Erik wouldn't want anyone less then proper, someone who follows the rules and doesn't smoke, which is bad for their health and the environment.
spare time: When he does have spare time, he likes to be outdoors, which is where Tarzan spent most of his time. He likes to surf, snowboard, all that manly outdoors stuff. He also likes cars and taking them apart and putting them back together.
family life: this was a little harder to connect, but both him and tarzan were left along in the world and in a since found a family with the porter's and had a family with all his assortment of friends in animal form. Erik has a steady family in the Evans and all his brothers and sister would be those animals and stuff.
memorable moments: Each were abandoned, each found a family, and each lost loved ones.
