* CoolLoser: Elmore Evans. Known far and wide for his ability as a sheriff for his humbleness, dedication, vigilance, unflappability, and of course ImprobableAimingSkills. Brings in more criminals on the frontier than anyone else. Literally tamed a bear once to impress a lady. Barely has any friends and never lost his virginity. His freakin' 12-year-old deputy has a girlfriend while he doesn't! He's also rather unacquainted to more fashionable things due to doing his best to seem MarriedToTheJob, and thus feels out of place at the likes of a party or a barbershop.

* ConsummateLiar: It's called Lies of the Sheriff Evans for a reason. Evans rarely ever talks in a straightforward manner unless he thinks his reputation calls for it (such as honestly telling caught criminals what's going to happen to them) - at best, he's probably ambiguous and vague to best portray his stoic, always-vigilant persona. Even if people start suspecting his lies, circumstance will probably seem to exonerate him (while still never getting him a date). That being said, he doesn't fool Nona, which leaves her mocking him behind his back.

He's definitely not that observant, unflappable, all-knowing, etc. Fortunately, no one manages to see through it (aside from Nona, who doesn't seem to be interested in revealing this to everyone and just mocks him behind his back) through a combination of a cool head and outrageous luck. He's basically a sexless sheriff version of Ciaphas Cain.

!!Elmore Evans
The great and famed sheriff of Markwest. He is a devoted lawman, an impeccable gunman, an unflappable countenance, and utterly, completely dateless despite becoming a sheriff solely for the intention of it making him popular with women.
----
* BlessedWithSuck: Even if he became a stoic lawman just to be popular with women, Evans is legitimately a good sheriff and a terrific gunslinger. Sadly, his inability to get a date comes from both the way he interprets his old man's teachings about girls and from how highly people think of him. Even if he doesn't notice/doesn't have time to act, Evans is popular with women, but some circumstance always gets in his way (she's too young, too vain, a criminal etc). Being popular in general mean he must always keep up his stoic facade, so he sometimes has problems doing even the most simple of tasks (like buying porn), as he's afraid of being caught.
* Catch22Dilemma: The volume omake shows that Evans slept in and was late for his duel in Chapter 109 because...he stayed up all night trying to think of a good plan to make his victory magnificent and show off to Oakley. This tardiness ends up causing Oakley to doubt him the entire time as much as he tries to pass off arriving late as intentional.

* ChivalrousPervert: Elmore Evans literally became a gunslinging sheriff in the expectation it would make him popular with women. Unfortunately, that has not come to pass as he presents himself off so chivalrously that even if he does have a chance with one, he blows it by acting disinterested in the topic if he's just not terribly unlucky otherwise. He makes due with occasionally desperately trying to steal a glance at a pretty lady whenever he can.

* CoolLoser: Elmore Evans. Known far and wide for his ability as a sheriff for his humbleness, dedication, vigilance, unflappability, and of course Improbable Aiming Skills. Brings in more criminals on the frontier than anyone else. Literally tamed a bear once to impress a lady. Barely has any friends and never lost his virginity. His freakin' 12-year-old deputy has a girlfriend while he doesn't!

* TheGunslinger: BlastingItOutOfTheirHands isn't much for him. He can blast it out of ''a lot'' of hands before their holders even get to shoot at him.
* GreenEyedMonster: {{Downplayed|Trope}} - he never does any really terrible over it, but he is consistently internally jealous when ever any other man has the spotlight, especially with women.
* MarriedToTheJob: Evans does well to give off this impression. However, as he would quite like to actually get married, this reputation is quite self-defeating for him.
* PornStash: Evans has one, though he always finds himself having to dispose of it to keep Oakley and others from finding out.
** He stored some in a combination safe in the office once, and then immediately covered it in chains with a keylock as well when it turned out that Ted knew how to safecrack, as trustworthy as Ted is.
* QuickDraw: He can [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands shoot the guns out of the hands]] multiple people already aiming at him, before they ever get the chance to fire.
* SlaveToPR: Evans never fails to uphold his reputation as unflappable, prepared, and observant...even if dropping that demeanor for a second might actually give him a chance to get a date.
* TheStoic: Evans' demeanor. He actually isn't, but he quite successfully acts like he is. Too well, actually, considering how many women he seemed to have a chance with before his manner stops them from pressing on with him.
* UnluckilyLucky: Evans might seem to never find himself a lady, but his stoic, skilled and vigilant reputation have been challenged enough by his circumstances that it's still highly surprising that all of those things known about him never turn out to get deflated in the end.
* UrbanLegendLoveLife: Evans has never lost his virginity, but he's ambiguous whenever answering about the matter of his love life that some people have managed to think he even sleeps around and Oakley is frequently worried some woman about is an ex of his. He's even willing to subtly encourage it in the hopes that it might get some looser women headed to his direction.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Almost every time Evans has a chance to get with a woman, his legitimate desire to do right gets in the way, be it that the woman turns out to be a criminal, or he is too busy trying to catch a criminal to go on a date.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Despite being a shooter that would make {{UsefulNotes/Simo Hayha}} look like he had the shakes, Evans is quite scared of spooky situations that makes him think of ghosts. [[BirdsOfAFeather He shares this trait with Oakley]].
