no unfortunately this isn't the great return of popo with an r8 character, elliot will be used by @Clove-- aka Ostrid // ref 1 is how he looks normally, ref 2 is just so ostrid knows what he looks like if he pushes his hair back // Name: Elliot Jean Holt Age: 16 [r7] Gender: Male Sexuality: tbd District: tbd Physical description: A tall, muscular tom with snow white fur and blue-grey patterns across his torso and legs. He has lots of thick, unkempt fur in a ring around his neck and chest. Noticeably enough, the fur on his head has overgrown to completely cover his eyes from view- he can still see you though. Elliot wears silver earrings on both ears along with a fabric blue band marked with a silver "4". There is a small scar on the right of his chin. Under his overgrown hair, the area around Elliot's eyes and his nose bridge is badly scarred. His eyes are also strange looking- one is a dark blue, while the other is a mix of a brighter blue and yellow. Personality: Elliot is very calm-minded and respectable whether the other person is close to him or not, and he often cares a lot for his friends more than he does for his own needs (yes he's an empath), and he's good at giving advice. He doesn't like to talk about his own past, family, or anything regarding himself- he'd rather help others with their own troubles than confront his. Elliot always tries to confronts conflict with words rather than violence, which can backfire easily. Because he's more of a talker than a fighter, Elliot can accidentally manipulate others/lie to them. He also doesn't have a very good sense of humor and takes everything a bit too seriously. basically: [ Respectful, Calm and Eloquent yet Passive-aggressive Selfless, Reticent ] Strengths: - Physical strength; he's great at swimming and a decent climber. Apparently his brother was training him to be the 'next great thing in football'. - Survival skills/quick thinking; Elliot can cook, sew, craft and heal- these skills were all learnt thanks to his tactically-orientated mind, something he picked up from his father. - Eloquence/oratory; he's good at convincing others and uniting everyone by any means. He might've learned this from his mother. Weaknesses: - Stoic/Selflessness; Elliot always is finding a way to help others than himself, and is a bit too generous. He never speaks up for himself. He endures all his hardship with no complaint. - Lack of speed; With all of his overgrown fur and size, Elliot is very slow in movement compared to most other tributes; his dodging ability is poor. - Insomnia; Elliot has trouble falling asleep, as he is often troubled by.. something. This might also be an issue in the arena, as he'll probably insist on keeping watch all the time and refuse to rest. Family: He used to have a mother, father and older brother, but when his brother was killed in the arena, everything quickly fell downhill. The orphanage might be the closest thing he has left to what he had before. Backstory (TW: violence, death): - Elliot grew up in a more well-off section of District 4, unaware that his own mother was running a violent cult against the Capitol disguised as a daycare service in their basement. - When his brother Tanner was unknowingly 'volunteered' into the arena, Elliot noticed his mother was acting stranger than before. He later learned that the Capitol had done this as punishment for her to confess to her crimes, which she didn't. - Tanner was killed by a peacekeeper in the arena, but the footage was edited to look like an accident. While the family was grieving, Elliot's mother had quickly realized this. Elliot also was able to learn what his mother had done to Tanner in his past, and grew extremely resentful against her. - In an attempt to flee the Capitol who were now after her, she decided to get rid of her husband and last son whom she believed would rat her out. She barricaded Elliot and his father inside their basement before setting it on fire, and then escaped. - Somehow, Elliot was able to free himself and escape from the house, but his father did not. Devastated, he hid within the forest near his home for a few months until his fur had overgrown and his appearance had completely changed. Elliot then found a local orphanage on the poorer side of District 4/5 where he decided to stay and also work as a cook near the local restaurant. that was very long Extra: - Elliot hides his face scars and makes sure nobody can see them under any circumstances- they are the ones that he got from the fire that day. - He actually hates all sports with a passion; but not because he's bad at them. - His favorite weapon is a lance or longsword. - he cries every other night - along with this baggage of trauma and sleepless nights he gained, he also got pyrophobia for obvious reasons // and yes his eyes are a mix of tanner and rex's in fact his whole design is a tribute to all of my thg characters //
