[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Ryan Evans.
FANDOM: High School Fucking Musical
CHRONOLOGY: After the meta clusterfuck that is the third-movie finale.
CLASS: At this point, Chaotic Neutral.
SUPERHERO NAME: Goldenthroat.
ALTER EGO: Ryan Evans, Broadway Star! Actually, a little more like just. Choreographer.
All of the blacked-out portions refer to memories Ryan no longer possesses as of February 4th 2010.
BACKGROUND:
Ryan Evans, besides being sister to Sharpay Evans and one of East High's premiere drama stars, is pretty much the only guy in all of East High who likes pink shirts and coordinating hats. And choreography.
In the first movie, Ryan mainly appears as his sister's lapdog as they plot to keep Troy and Gabriella from becoming the stars of the winter musical. WITH SONG AND DANCE. No one said this had to make any sense at all. Anyway, in this movie we learn several important facts. One: Ryan always wears hats. ALWAYS. Two: Sharpay is a evil, evil bitch and likes her own reflection too much (corollary: Sharpay treats Ryan like dirt). Three: Ryan isn't very good at reading (he has selective dyslexia in the presence of jocks), but we forgive him for being adorable. Four: Ryan is the kind of FABULOUS gay that comes with pink hats, sparkles and hip thrusts. Even though this is totally not stated in canon.
So basically the whole first movie is about Sharpay plotting and the cute couple, Troy and Gabriella, winning out to star in the winter musical. WITH SONG AND DANCE. With a lot of help from their friends. Then there's a timeskip, filled in by the manga, before the second movie starts at the end of Ryan's the cast's junior year. This movie starts out with a kind of silly number entitled "What Time is It?" which includes a lot of Ryan being sad because no one wants him to sign their yearbooks. Poor Ryan, always living in Sharpay's shadow. It also includes Sharpay hatching a plan for stealing Troy from Gabriella and balls. Lots and lots of balls.
The movie then moves to the fabulous Lava Springs, which is owned by the Evans family. Basically, it's a country club that serves as a summer vacation home for Ryan and Sharpay. Plus, it's a handy place to hold all of Sharpay's hideous things in every shade of pink EVER. There's a musical number, "Fabulous" which is only of note because it contains two Ryans - one in the pool and one out of the pool - after Ryan covets the Star Dazzle award in a amazingly adorable manner. The Star Dazzle Award being the award one gets if they win the talent show at the end of summer.
This is when "all of East High" reports in for their new jobs at Lava Springs. This upsets Sharpay, who storms off to talk to her mother while most of East High sings in the kitchen about how they can make their summer awesome-pawesome.
Sharpay's mother is doing yoga (and not really listening to Sharpay) and simply states "these are your chums." To which Sharpay says "RYAN! Talk to mother!" That's when we find out that Ryan's nickname is DUCKY. And then there's some scenes during which East High tries to prepare for the talent show and Troy/Gabriella make cute faces at each other before getting busted for doing things they shouldn't be doing. Oh, plus Troy and Chad caddying for the Evans family. That devolves into Troy playing with Mr. Evans and Ryan/Chad doing the caddying though. Then there's some stuff like dinner.
Then, THEN it's the most unexplainable scene in the entire movie. "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a," which we think is about fish and magic spells. Kenny Ortega, the movie's director as it is known, does not do sense. Newsies did not contain sense. At all.
Oh right. After that crazy song, there's some Troy/Troy-parent bonding and Troy-promoting. It's all very boring and Ryan-less. Until Sharpay tells him she and Troy are doing a song for the summer-end talent show. Ryan is very sadcakes at that. This is approximately the time when Gabriella asks sadcakes!Ryan if he would like to go to the staff baseball game. He denies, but ends up there anyway and is challenged to play by Troy's best friend, Chad. If Ryan wins, the Wildcats perform in the talent show.
Enter: "I Don't Dance," which is the only song in either movie that features two boys singing a duet. It also features the line "I'll show you the way I swing." Make your own conclusions. Did I mention Kenny Ortega also turns everything he touches gay? No? Anyway, Chad's team wins, but Ryan has gained "street cred." This is followed by a scene where Ryan and Chad have switched clothes and are talking cutely to each other. I don't know why. Apparently, Kenny Ortega likes subtext because gaysball is something he's always wanted to do. I wish I were making this crap up.
Oh. So then there is a scene in which Troy thinks Ryan is trying to steal Gabriella away from him and Gabriella looks at Troy like "dude, gay best friend." The scene that follows is a scene in which Chad and Troy have an argument which sounds suspiciously like a break-up. And then, for something completely different, Kenny Ortega cuts to Troy looking really scared onstage with Sharpay. He excuses himself before trying to shoot hoops and failing. While he emos in the corner, he magically hears Ryan and the rest of East High practicing for that talent show. Sharpay storms in, yells at Ryan WHO GROWS A BACKBONE and tells his sister "I guess that's showbiz."
Ryan has become one of the gang.
There's some plotty stuff afterwards which prevents the staff from participating in that talent show and results in Troy and Gabriella breaking up in song, of course. After he sulks some, Troy runs out onto the golf course and sings "Eye of the Tiger" a really emo song. Whatever. Troy sucks.
More plot more plot . . . Sharpay being upset because Troy isn't singing with her, Ryan tricking his sister, Gabriella and Troy making up, a song during which what seems like every performance rule is broken . . . And then, RYAN WINS THE STAR DAZZLE AWARD. The scene after shows Chad wearing a shirt the proudly states "He Did It" and you thought Disney wasn't gay . . . Nothing really important happens after Ryan wins the Star Dazzle award, but there is one more song. Ryan's wearing a Xemnas shirt in it. 8D Oh. Miley Cyrus is in it too, if you care.
After Lava Springs, senior year starts. Movie starts with a song which is of absolutely no note at all. Too much Troy, not enough Chad and CERTAINLY not enough Ryan. He is, however, in the mascot suit at the end. For the life of me, I can't figure out why but he is.
Anyway, no one wants to sign up for the spring musical so the cute little pianist Kelsi signs everyone up. This results in everyone being mad, but it's okay. They're going to make a musical about their senior year! Oh, the Evans twins, Kelsi and Troy are all up for Julliard scholarships btw. Sharpay's excited, Troy has no idea wtf is going on, Kelsi is happy but Ryan needs a little convincing. This requires a song, as per usual. The movie scene is of note only because it is a ruse to get Ryan to ask Kelsi to prom, it has Kelsi in ADORABLE taxicab makeup and Ryan is in it with a whole team of pink vinyl kittens. I'm not even joking.
Hm. The only other things pertaining to Ryan for a good chunk is that he's choreographing the spring musical, there is a song about prom, Ryan has a vespa and sings a song (read: there is WAAAAAAY too much Troyella in the third movie).
And then there are plot points about how Troy and Gabriella are ~*OMG OTP*~ and co-dependent before the utterly fabulous spring musical. God, Lucas Grabeel is sexy. And then, once the musical ends the wildcats do a reprise of that song in the first movie and we learn one important thing: Ryan and Kelsi won the Julliard scholarships! YAY!
And then, of course, it's time to graduate and sing. And then, when Ryan steps into his future he accidentally steps into some kind of wacky portal that lands him in front of a computer. Yay.
BACKGROUND (RELATIONSHIPS):
Sharpay: His twin and his sister. Ryan is over being her poodle, but he'll still do things for her if she asks nicely and it fits his schedule.
Troy: Kind of hates him for numerous reasons, the biggest of which is that Troy is pretty much everything Ryan secretly wants to be. Generally acts nicely toward Troy though.
Chad: There is definite unresolved sexual tension there and they seems to enjoy trying to one-up each other. Dated in the City for a while when both were still there.
Gabriella: Harbors minor resentment that she so easily upsets the Status Quo, but is overall friends with her.
Kelsi: Something between his best friend and his cover when he wants to seem heterosexual. They're good buddies.
PERSONALITY:
Ryan, despite much protest at being labeled "Sharpay's Poodle," is attached at the hip to his twin sister. In the first movie, the basic impression we get of Ryan is that he's a stereotypical gay drama boy who likes his sister a little more than he should. We never really see him without his sister close by, and it shows why everyone thinks of him as Sharpay's poodle-because he kind of is. He follows his sister around and acts like her personal assistant-putting himself and his wants/needs second.
Sure, Ryan did baseball and yoga by himself but Sharpay did things by herself too. They supported each other. Ryan Evans is not Sharpay though. Ryan Evans is the more stable of the twins, less prone to histrionics and temper tantrums when things don't go exactly his way. He has an excellent pout, of course, but he doesn't use it nearly as often as Sharpay does. He's not glitter and look at me all the time-which doesn't mean that Ryan is a little flamboyant and eccentric. All rich people are, because they can afford to be. His quirk is hats. You will hardly ever see Ryan without a hat.
You will see Ryan assume different roles if he thinks it'll further his cause, though. In fact, if Ryan doesn't know what to do he'll probably just act how he thinks he's supposed to or how he thinks will get him the most attention. It's kind of a security blanket-if something is going wrong, Ryan will assume a role he's comfortable with to cope. So, if he seems a little wildly bipolar, that's probably why.
Basically, Ryan might seem like a stereotypical gay drama boy on the surface but he's not quite that shallow. He likes musicals and fashion, but he can also throw a mean fastball if the situation requires it. He's not just a pretty face, but he's content to let everyone think he is if that's what they want to believe. Anyone who talked to him for more than a little while would find that there is a highly intelligent, slightly sarcastic and practical guy under all the glam though.
POWER: The only "powers" in High School Musical are the ability to burst into song at moments of great importance and carry back-up singers in their hair, both of which are things people are born with (more or less). In addition to those, I'd like the give Ryan the power to create physical objects. Have you seen Itsudatte My Santa? Like that, only he has to sing. If you haven't seen it I don't recommend it and Ryan's power is basically the ability to bring anything he sings about into being with just one catch. It has to start with an S. For song, you see. So, he can summon a salmon if he sings (Tiny little salmon swimming in a stream, tiny little salmon chasing that impossible dream), but not a fish. Make sense? tl;dr version
I probably should have mentioned this the last time I applied, but Ryan also imitates people. 9 times out of 10 he uses it to imitate Sharpay, but 1 time out of 10 he'll use it to imitate someone else. It's not a power in the slightest, it's just something he's good at, but it can seem like a power so I'm mentioning it here.

FINAL NOTES ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Ryan remembers being in the City. He blames Troy for being back in the City. He is not happy to be back in the city and he's probably going to hold a concert on the MAC's rooftop or something just to piss everyone off and announce his presence with style. It will probably cause a good amount of chaos until someone shuts him up/he gets tired. Is that okay?
