Elijah Iscariot Male - 21 - Straight - Barman/bodyguardCitizen |
PERSONALITY
Being born into the tribe of the Fanalis, is something that set Elijah's personality in place. A daredevil, a fighter, a murderer, is all words that could describe this man's personality. And they are all one hundred percent correct, he has done all of those things and been called all those names, for as long as he can remember. Not that he minds, the man is quite uncaring of public opinion or his persona towards others. He just wants to live his life, as his mother and father had intended for him to, even if it didn't go that way. Elijah's personality is quite explosive, this being due to the man's low temper about certain things. The temper, if active, goes over all normal charts for anger. The man turns into more of a psycho, into caring about anything or anyone and just charging into the one who angered him. Originating from the Fanalis, has caused this charging, to become incredibly fierce, letting the man fight without distraction. One could say that Elijah is totally in his element when on the battlefield.
Though, to be fair, this isn't what he is really like. No, Elijah isn't a bloodthirsty killer, quite far from it. The man is more calm, collected and normal than one could see from him, as he doesn't look that normal. Calm is one of his most notable features, as long as someone doesn't piss him off that is and pissing him off, isn't that simple either, but aside from the random outbursts he may have, Elijah's calmness is his most prominent feature, nothing seems to really annoy him and he never panics, even in the face of death. The man never resorts to asking for help of begging for mercy, neither will he ever give up, he'll just keep on going, calmly, towards his destiny and fate. He is calm in more normal situations as well, like talking to people or just working his jobs, this also causes the man to be quite liked by his employers, as his calm nature makes him incredibly easy to work with together. Elijah, almost never is seen as annoying by anyone, at least not anyone he has met so far that is.
The man can be called a realist, as he is never seen going for things, that are totally out of his limits, liking to stick to logical goals and dreams. Of course if he really wants something, he'll still work for it, but never would he go for something silly, like world peace. That just seems like a total fairy tail to the man. This also has lead the man to be very logical with his actions and never does something that would put himself at a total disadvantage. Living in that way, has given Elijah a good standing where he is now and well paying jobs. But nevertheless, the man can still forget logic, if someone who he cares for is in danger. And by danger, the man means a situation, where that person can't come out of themselves, otherwise, he stays incredibly calm and collected.
With people Elijah doesn't know, he likes to stay somewhat quieter, but not that much, as long as the person he has met, piques his interest even he will not stay quiet. Though with friends or closer people, the man can really seem like the life of the party at times, forgetting his collected nature, that he holds so true on other occasions. This also probably comes from the like of alcohol that the man has developed, over the couple of years working as a barman in one of the largest and most famous bars in Braedon. He is renowned as one of the best workers in the bar, mainly due to his style of showing off, while making the drinks that have been ordered. It's a skill he easily developed, due to the physical superiority that the Fanalis have.
Being from the Fanalis, has caused Elijah to develop a slight distrust to any other species, as his people have been used as the prime slaves in history. He doesn't mind being in the midst of them, as knowing his physical strength, he has no fear of being captured, but trust his hard to come by, maybe towards another smaller species, but that all depends on individuals for the man. But at the same time, he has no problem working as a bodyguard, for people he doesn't trust, as money is something Elijah knows and trusts. So getting more money, is something he will always want and can quite easily be bought, having his price on almost every situation, even murder and kidnappings aren't out of the question, but that all is to be seen.
Overall, the young man is a calm collected person, who is quite hardworking, as he does usually go to at least two jobs, but also can get quite physical if there is a need for it, though even while collected, he can turn into quite the party animal, if the situation arises of course.
MOTIVATION
Elijah doesn't really have a driving goal or something he wants to reach. No, nothing like that. More so, the man wants to just live as he wants, nothing more, nothing less. He has no reason to find something more or to exhaust himself in finding happiness. Just to live like he wants, is all this person needs.
FEAR
Spiders, most definitely spiders. Even being as physically strong as Elijah is, he still has an irrational fear over the creepy crawlies. The man really can't handle them. Other than the small eight legged monsters, his fear for heights is quite prominent at most times, but is a more special case, as he doesn't fear a height he may have caused, by a jump for example, but heights that he was put into unwillingly, those are the ones that will get him. The final fear is slavery, just the idea of being locked up and forced to work for someone, is quite the scary thing for Elijah, as that's what his people were put through in the past.
BIOGRAPHY
Elijah was originally born in a far away land, into the tribe of the Fanalis. Really not much happened in the younger years of his life, except the training of a Fanalis, that really is just strength training and isn't anything too fancy at that. The time of his life that held the most change, was about the time he was 15-16 years of age. At this time, a slaver group managed to catch his entire family, including Elijah himself, his mother and father and two older siblings. As they had been far away from their village, no one else had seen them disappear and by the time they would find out that Elijah's family was gone, it would have been too late.
Having been made a slave, Elijah developed most of the personality he has of today, but he managed to survive, which is something that can't be said for the rest of his family, as no one else survived this grueling feat. Though, when the last of his relatives had closed their eyes for the final time, something in the young man snapped and he raised up against the slavers he had been working for. His power was much more than before, feeling very free now, with nothing to loose, he broke out of his chains and cage, running towards the slavers and brutally pulling them apart. The young man demolished the encampment, freeing every single slave in there at the same time.
He was now free, free to do what he wanted, free to go back to his people. But for some reason, he didn't want to return, Elijah felt that he had grown way too different to his people and due to this, he would set his sights on Braedon. Though firstly, he wanted to get rid of the only mark of the Fanalis he had on his body, the red hair. Blonde, it was the furthest he could go from his original hair color and so he did. This change, meant more than anything he had done previously, as with changing his hair color, Elijah had given up his past, all of it and started a new step.
After reaching Braedon, the young man quite quickly made himself known, by acting as a bodyguard to multiple important people. His strength and fighting skills proving valuable as a guard, granting him more and more high paying jobs. Not many dared to face him in the area he was around, protected by his tribal powers. But everything still felt empty, so Elijah started working as a bar tender, in a quite small bar, off the main streets. Again, the powers of the Fanalis came in handy, to put on a show for the customers, as the man was able to mix drinks in a plethora of fancy and flashy ways, which did bring in customers and somewhat unwanted attention. Though to this day, the young man keeps working the two jobs and living off fine with the money he makes, well more than fine, but he only uses as much he needs, rest just goes into the bank, for any occasion that's needed. Most likely he has built up quite the small fortune, as he has been working the jobs for over 5 years now and he still keeps on going, unless something will change in the future, this will be his life.
Skills/Magic
Elijah's entire skill set revolves around the training of the Fanalis and due to being different than regular humans in physical strength, speed and durability, his powers are even more amplified by that.
The man's physical strength goes up to being able to lift 5 tonne boulders, with little to no effort. If he does actually put effort into this, he can lift more. Throwing them is a different situation, that being much harder, even for him. Though this all does make a punch from Elijah be quite dangerous, to anyone on the receiving end.
Due to the Fanalis being much more closer to nature, the man's hearing, sense of smell and sight are a lot better than that of an average human, but it's nothing crazy at the same time. Though he can see quite well in the dark, not perfectly, but enough to be able to fight in total darkness.
His speed is that of an animal as well, being capable of incredibly fast spurts of speed, in the way that a cheetah is and quite the same speed as well. The jumping ability of the man is quite notable as well, as he can easily clear a couple of meters, with no run up. But using his speed and strength together, the man is able to pull of almost shock-wave level attacks, though those do take a lot out of him. His agility overall is very strong, but he still has to move slower, when taking a longer route, as the man's body isn't that special and still works like any regular organism.
But as his powers mostly revolve around physical fighting and him not having any magic to speak off or any weapons, his stamina and endurance are quite high. Being able to shrug off a lot of physical hits, being a little more susceptible to magic. Though he could still take up the role of a front line if the need arises, even against an opponent wielding magic.
Overall, Elijah is 100% focused on physical combat, all ranged attacks being just throwing random stuff found in the environment, like wending machines. His powers do give him a lot of strengths, but are quite limiting, as they all require his body and someone just keeping their distance from him and dodging, will have an easier time dealing with him.
