Evan Bunston

Evan Bunston is the second protagonist of the webseries/ARG Project Evidence. In season 1, he helps his brother escape his captors and is the one who posts most of the videos from his brother’s phone. In the ARG between seasons 1 and 2, he briefly becomes the new Smiley before he helps Ashton figure out what is going on. In season 2, he becomes a main part of the series after he finds a strange device that can weaken The Creature and he ends up being the one to kill The Laughing Man, unmask The Masked One and kill The Hooded One.

Season 1
Evan’s first appearance in Project Evidence is in a tweet in between Entry #6 and Entry #7. Evan states that Ashton left their house 4 hours ago and hasn’t come back. He finds his phone at the abandoned house that he was visiting (not the abandoned house from the rest of the series) and posts videos that are on it. He figures out where Ashton is and ends up saving him from his captors.

ARG
Evan appears in the first video of the story of the ARG but doesn’t do anything until the 5th video where he puts on the Smiley mask from season 1 and ends up becoming the new Smiley, however, this is quickly fixed and he and Ashton bury the mask.

Later, Evan goes to the abandoned house and finds Ashton there who reveals he has the same sickness that his girlfriend Emma had, meaning he needs the same pills. He needs a higher dose so he has been giving his lower doses to someone and taking higher doses that they leave him. Evan goes to the abandoned house with Ashton again a few days later and they find pages left by a mysterious figure who later reveals themselves as The Hooded One. Evan later goes back on his own and is attacked before Ashton finds him wearing the Smiley mask again nad rescues him. They proceed to be attacked by The Creature and wake up in their beds with no memory of the events that had taken place over the course of the entire ARG.

A long time later. Evan and Ashton receive a box full of strange items. They go to the abandoned house and Evan almost allows himself to be sacrificed to The Creature in order to save themselves. The Creature attacks them and they get away. This is the last time Evan is seen in the ARG.

Season 2
Evan first appears in the first episode of season 2, Entry #10. He is recording himself playing video games when there is a knock at the window. When Evan goes outside he sees The Masked One and chases after him before finding a strange device on the ground. He takes it and puts it back inside before going to the backyard but being unable to find The Masked One. He is then knocked to the floor by The Masked One and watches as The Masked One gets away. In the next episode, Entry #11, he and Ashton to go the abandoned house but find nothing. After that, in Entry #12, he is attacked by The Hooded One before Ashton is also knocked out. They wake up after a while in Entry #12.5.

Evan’s next appearance is several videos later, in “He Is Here”, where he records himself watching a YouTube video before he is attacked by The Creature. He manages to use his device to escape the attack and to hurt The Creature. Evan doesn’t show up for a while again until “I KILLED THE LAUGHING MAN” where he manages to get the gun out of The Laughing Man’s hand and shoots him.

Evan next appears in Entry #13 where he and Ashton manage to unmask The Masked One and they find out that he is in fact the missing kid named Logan Barons. He doesn’t appear for a long time after this, but he is consistently mentioned. He appears again in “He Took The Device” where he is attacked by The Hooded One and has his device taken away from him. A few episodes later, in “BYE BYE EVAN”, Evan is attacked by The Creature and turned into a proxy that behaves much like The Rake.

Evan is next mentioned in the 1 year anniversary video where it is revealed that off camera, Ashton found the device and saved Evan from being a proxy. If Evan did anything illegal in that time is unknown, so he is still considered the purest character in the series. The next time that Evan shows up is in “REMEMBER THE MUTE?” where he finds the body of the kidnapped man. His final appearance is in the season finale, Entry #15, where he faces off against The Hooded One and ends up killing him.
