Full Name: DeVante Milo Hutson
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: African American
Occupation: Physics student
DeVante moved to Goliath's Peak with his recently-divorced mother Hazel and little brother Zion while he was still in high school, but attended a different one than Nabi and Alistair at the time. Finally beginning his independent life after enrolling at the Institute and befriending the Wiseasses, all seems to be looking up for DeVante...until he gets some bad news from the doctor. He has breast cancer, and the state of his wellbeing ultimately depends on his body and will. This scares his close friend Atlas, who lost his mother to cancer, but DeVante is determined to fight not only for himself, but for his family and friends. An all around friendly guy, if a bit of a chatterbox.
[Gently.] "Of course, but I know that it can go either way; I fight to show my family that I love them enough to aid in my own battle to live, but if the worst happens...they'll know I spent my last days loving and reassuring them."
[Excitedly.] "I have a dog, too! His name's Echo, he's an English Setter - American Foxhound mix, he's real pretty. My mom and brother got him for me as a graduation present...or at least that's what they tell me, I think it's to celebrate me actually passing trigonometry."
"Nah, man, y'all are good. Just because I'm sick doesn't mean you have to play Mother Hen with me all the time. Er, not that I don't appreciate the help! You guys are the nicest people ever, especially with all the help you've been for my mama, but don't treat me like I'm made of glass or something. Dr. Wolfe even said that I won't need to take iron anymore, and I only have two more scans! Isn't that awesome?"
As per usual,I am welcome to critiques,praises or anything like that.
