⫸ "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all." ⫷ - Emily Dickinson General Information: ⫸ Full name (And nicknames): Elysium Felids (Can be called Ely. Some other characters may or may not chose nicknames for her and, when they do, I'll add them here.) ⫸ Gender: Female ⫸ Age: 17 ⫸ Sexual Orientation: Bisexual ⫸ Ethnicity (If they're an Eternal, it's Vindicatrus): Vindicatrus ⫸ Class (Citizen, Pardoner, Negator): Citizen ⫸ Occupation (If they're a Pardoner, they are automatically a government official. Everyone else can have pretty much any job, I'll just need to okay it before you start rping. If they're imprisoned, they don't currently have a job, but you can state the job they had /before/ being taken in by the Pardoners): She works at a small cafe that often has a live band playing. She waits tables, but will occasionally sing, play the piano, or play the violin. ⫸ Cause of Death: She died of Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome before she was born. Her twin is still alive in the real world. ⫸ Residence (They must live in either the Spiked Rocks or the City Area. If they live in the Spiked Rocks, why did they run away?): City Area ⫸ Imprisoned (Yes or no? If so, why?): Not yet. ⫸ Eternal (Yes or no?): Yes »»————- ✖ ————-«« Appearance: ⫸ Death Marks (Where? What color?): Everywhere (black) ⫸ Skin Color: The average color of an Eternal ⫸ Body Type (Thin, Muscular, Curvy, ect.): Thin ⫸ Eye (Color): A cloudy blue. ⫸ Hair (Length, Color): Insanely long cream-colored hair. (She wishes she could cut it, but doesn't trust herself with scissors. What if she hurts herself? What if she accidentally hurts someone else? She doesn't want to be taken away. She doesn't want anyone else to cut it, though. If they make the same mistake and are taken away for just trying to help her with her hair, she could never live with herself.) ⫸ Usual Outfit(s): The ones pictured in the project. A little background on each outfit: The one she wears the most is her white dress. Seeing as she died at birth and without any clothing on her, the Pardoners supply her with outfits whenever she grows out of one. They tend to belong to citizens who were taken away and never heard of again. (Thus how old-fashioned they are, as they were taken a while ago.) It's unnerving, but she cherishes these outfits as things the Pardoners have given to her, and thinks about the unknown previous owners of the outfit, wearing each one to someone honor them. This is the outfit she wears the most, especially when seeing Pardoners. Still, whenever she gets the chance, she enjoys wearing more casual clothing and putting ribbons in her hair. She does this less often, but finds it more comfortable. ⫸ Accessories (Piercings, Tattoos, Jewelry): None (although she often thinks about getting some.) ⫸ Natural Anomalies (Scars, Skin Conditions): She had a few scars on her abdomen, but they aren't usually visible, and she doesn't like to talk about them. ⫸ Physical Disabilities: None. »»————- ✖ ————-«« Personality: ⫸ Personality Traits (Negatives and Positives!): Elysium is a curious soul with a soft voice and soft mannerisms. She's a bit of a people pleaser, and although Elysium is a natural free-thinker, that is a bit overclouded by how easy she is to manipulate. She's not all naivety, though. She cares deeply for those around her, and is extremely empathetic. She tends to be over-emotional and surprisingly impulsive, letting her heart and gut lead her head. She is definitely an innately intelligent person, this is just constantly overclouded by her poor decision-making skills. Elysium also has a certain fascination with the living world, a world she never had the chance to experience. She greatly looks up to the Pardoners, looking to them as role models and parental figures. (I'll explain this more in the backstory section.) Overall, she is a creative thinker, and often wise beyond her years. Still, she is lonely, latching onto every bit of support she can find, letting herself easily bow to the whims of others. She is an amazing asset to any cause if you look beyond her outside differences and her often polarised emotions. Beyond anything, she is a wonderful companion. It is merely that few have taken the time to get to know that side of her. (Continued on Notes and Credits. It was too long to fit on one.)
⫸ Likes: the living world, the borrowers, tea, ghost stories, fresh flowers, old music, bright colors, being listened to, quiet places, safety ⫸ Dislikes: herself (oof), the therapists, loud noises, repetitive noises, noises in general, vegetables, people looking at her. ⫸ Fears: Oh, so, so many things. Some of the most prevalent are: She's afraid of the dark, and she's afraid of failing, in whatever way you interpret that word. ⫸ Habits / Quirks: Biting her fingernails as a nervous habit, all kinds of nervous ticks and fidgets. She also avoids stepping on cracks so that her mother in the living world won't accidentally come and join her, and she apologizes to plants when she steps on them. ⫸ Hobbies: Music in general, poetry, internal rebellion, drawing (mostly eyes for whatever reason), creating things. ⫸ Conditions (Mental disorders, eating disorders, sleep disorders, ect.): narcolepsy (if that makes sense in the realm of those who have passed on.) probably ADHD (heeey, another ADHD buddy) and maybe something else mental, but shh, she doesn't talk about it. ⫸ Skills (What are they good at?): Many of the hobbies I just listed, listening to others, administering first aid. ⫸ Weaknesses (What are they not good at?): Sitting still, public speaking, meeting new people, being self-reliant (She's working on it, okay?), making good decisions, understanding everything about the world. »»————- ✖ ————-«« Backstory: ⫸ Life before coming to the Vindicatrium (How was it?): It was literally nonexistent. I already described how she died, and, other than that, she has no memories whatsoever of earth. When she came into Vindicatrium, no one wanted to take care of little baby Elysium, so the mysterious Pardoners somewhat took her in. (You can decide the specifics and how removed/how close she still is with them. Did she live in the tower, or merely in a nearby apartment? Does she still live there? You decide, because it's your world you've created.) This strange method of parenting coupled with the prejudice against Eternals definitely led to some issues in development. (I somewhat explained this in her personality.) Nevertheless, she looked up to the Pardoners as sources of guidance. While she doesn't blindly follow their orders, she constantly wants to please them. She feels as if she doesn't serve their kindness, as if she is inherintly inferior to them. Maybe she is. All she knows is that most of what she does, she does with the secret, hidden hope that, maybe if she does this, they're love her. ⫸ Job before coming to the Vindicatrium: Does being a baby count as a job? ⫸ Siblings/Parents: She has a twin and a mother (her father isn't present) in the living world, but she hasn't ever truly met them. ⫸ Relationship with Family: Practically nonexistent. She often thinks about them, but thinking only gets you so far if you've never known them. »»————- ✖ ————-«« Speech: ⫸ Accent: She doesn't really have an accent due to living in Vindicatrium her whole life, so... whatever pattern of speech would come from being originated there. ⫸ Languages they speak: Mainly English, a little french, a bit of Latin. (because it's a dead language; like her.) »»————- ✖ ————-«« Extra Information: ⫸ None that I can think of at the moment! »»————- ✖ ————-«« ⫸ “Life is but a dream for the dead.” ⫷ - Gerard Way
