A popular man back on Earth with a rather unique name who rose up from the average through his reality simulation software. He founded EverTech at the age of 20, initially a video games studio which rapidly grew into a technology conglomerate on Earth, focusing on many scientific fields, such as quantum physics, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, civilian infrastructure and even military weaponry. Although EverTech never really became interplanetary, remaining local to Earth, it has become an important asset for the Federation in starship weapons technology. Ever is a devoted supporter of the Federation, believing deeply in their values, especially those of the Liberal Party. As a result, he is officially pledged to Felicia Winters, and aims to help her expand the Liberal Party's sphere of influence in the Federation in order to push the citizen welfare agendas of Winters. He despises the Empire for their authoritarian regime, especially the hereditary absolute monarchy that is in place. He also condemns the Empire for allowing the enslavement of people. Him and his company, EverTech, are known to be a strong part of the imperial opposition amongst the three large superpowers. Ever has a mixed opinion about the Alliance, on one side appreciating them for promoting civil liberty, and on the other disliking them for their excessive libertarianism which leads to anarchy in many of their systems. He thinks that the Alliance is too decentralized for it to work as a central government, and the fact that slavery is tolerated in their borders makes him dislike the Alliance even more.
