with bonus gemsona meme!

I think Evan would be Spessartine, which is ostensibly a helper kind of gem, enhancing intellect, rational thought, creativity and drive to succeed.

(It's also a subtype of Garnet but dang it I had trouble finding anything both red/orange and intellect-based)

Gem on the back of his neck

Weapon... ha ha what kind of weapon do you give a pacifist.

a shield ig

either something defensive, like Wonder Woman gauntlets or some sort of projectile. grenades?

man though shield is so straight-up right out of the show

yes, but! it's still a possibility. i mean, so would rapiers and whips and so forth

Weapon: a pen

unbreakable~

never gums up~

As for fusions... oooh gosh, imagine a laedo/evan fusion!

a pen would be awesome

Sunset Fire Opal!

Idk about Laedo himself but I assume probably he'd be a golden opal:

His weapon would be an endless scroll that can be shaped into elegant items and used as a gauze-wrap in a pinch XD

So there you go, giant monstrous journalist fusion I suppose!!

8D the most fantastically annoying investigative journalist

dogged, sober-minded, smart as fuck, snarky

four arms?

Better than two but worse than six

either that or bipedal winged thing

okay that would be the coolest early-2000s style character fusion

genderswaps them because gems

yasssss

you know, that's one AU I've never really played with at all

I imagine sort of like that investigator from Saga

oh man yeah!
