[color=steelblue][b]IN-DEPTH APPEARANCE[/b][/color]
[indent]Since about the age of fifteen, Elijah Damian Nelson has never gone past the height of sixty-eight inches. He never complained though because it never really bothered him. From what his mother told him, his father was just three inches taller than him, and she herself is two inches shorter than Eli, so he never really had it in his mind that he would ever become taller than what he is. Besides, with his build being slightly muscular, it would make him look like a pencil if he ever achieved that six feet height. Indeed, being 5'8 and having a slightly muscular build has worked to his advantage. Speaking of his build, his weight has always fluctuated from the high 150s to the low 170s, but something always remained: Elijah never lost the muscle he gained over his teenage life.

Okay, so, when it comes to his actual physical appearance, what all can one say about Elijah? The dude has a pair of the most beautiful, piercing sapphire orbs. Take away how odd his hairline along his forehead falls, and just focus on those blue eyes of his. There is something about them that just eliminate everything bad about him. Those eyes, like a certain cousin of his, are the same: they are the most distinctive feature he has on his entire body. Okay, so maybe he also has a dirty blonde shade of hair, and how it oddly shows one part of his forehead while covering the other, but those blues man. No one could ever deny that his eyes are the most beautiful aspect of his teen, and the way that he uses them to his advantage sometimes.

There isn't a lot of complexities that come with the fashion sense of Elijah. Quite simply, he dresses however he feels. Most of the time, he feels like he doesn't give two shits about anyone's opinions, so he dresses accordingly. Usually, his outfits consist of some kind of beanie on his head, a jacket of some kind, some generic shirt, jeans(a dark color like navy, dark gray, or black), probably some kind of wrist accessory, and boot-like shoes. Pretty much it's what one would expect from a guy like Elijah. He doesn't like fancy wear and refuses to wear bright colors. The brightest color he might wear is general blue, but that's about it. As far as piercings and the like go, he has his ears pierced and a couple of tats he has gotten on a whim, but that's about it. Again, not one for flare, so the earrings he does have aren't flashy. They're probably the basic bitches of the jewelry world.[/indent]

[indent]
[color=000000]☠[/color] Anything tragically happening to any member of his family, which includes his mother, Carrie, his stepfather Zachary, or his stepsister, Adielle. Sure he doesn't say it out loud, he has a lot of respect for Zach, and loves his stepsister.
[color=000000]☠[/color]Endind up alone. This might seem cliche, but Elijah, deep down, doesn't want to end up alone. He doesn't want to find himself without any friends or anyone to forget who he is.
[color=000000]☠[/color] Being like his biological father. He doesn't want to be that kind of man. He doesn't want to be the kind of absuive fuckhead that Gabriel is.
[color=000000]☠[/color]Sharks. Man, you have no idea how scary they are.

[color=steelblue][b]PERSONALITY[/b][/color]
[center][h3][color=steelblue] ♦ Thoughtful ♦ Loyal ♦ Protective ♦ Placid ♦ [/color][/h3]
[h3][color=25455f] ♦ Secretive ♦ Insincere ♦ Asocial/Antisocial ♦ Dishonest ♦ [/color][/h3][/center]
[indent]What a ray of sunshine Eli is(not really). He examplifies what it means to not really give two shits about what is a proper social contract. Usually people make an effort to at least give you their name before saying anything, but Elijah? Nope, he doesn't do anything like that. He'll make comments here and there, but he never actually gives his name right away. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he likes to see how people will react to his way or doing things, or he simply doesn't like to give his name out. Whichever the case, whenever you meet Elijah for the first time, you'll see someone with a rather tough, often antagonistic exterior. He hardly pays any mind to how his words come out, which sometimes gets him looks of, and gets him called insincere plenty of times. It doesn't bother him. He simply doesn't care.

Okay, maybe that was a lie. 

Elijah does care, but he's not going to let the world know it. He has shit that has gone down in his life and he doesn't like to talk about it. Because of that, he has built a wall between what people see and what actually is there. What they see is an antisocial prick, but what really lies between the lines of his soul is someone who has many thoughts - often ones of deep insight. He's also loyal, like as loyal as a dog. Treat him well, and he'll give you undying, unwavering loyalty, and will protect you will that he is. Of course, you would have to find some way to get past that rough, often infuriating exterior of his.

Something else that has been much praise about Eli is his natural calm demeanor. Sure, he likes to have his fun with some people, but one thing that he's always been praised about was the fact that he's always calm, tranquil even. Through the years of people purposely trying to pick fights with him, Eli never showed any sign of getting angered one bit. He always treated it as being whatever. Maybe this comes with the earlier mention of him not giving two shits, but good for him that he didn't care what people wanted to do him, or how their feelings got hurt or whatever. This extends to their pride, apparently, because those that tried to pick fights with him seemed to get even angrier by him because he didn't act the way that they expected(AKA mauling them right where they stood).[/indent]

[color=steelblue][b]PLACE OF ORIGIN[/b][/color]
[indent]Born in compton, but moved to Las Vegas because of reasons.[/indent]

[color=steelblue][b]BACKGROUND[/b][/color]
[indent]Very much unlike his stepsister, Adielle, Elijah Damian Nelson didn’t have some Richie Rich life story. Originally born in Compton of Los Angeles, California, Eli’s life was as tough as it could get. Though he wasn’t born within the time of the LA riots, he sure had his fair share of horrible moments in his childhood. Starting from how his mother got pregnant with him when she was just eighteen by some older man, like really older. Apparently he was some Italian Mobster of some kind. Apparently those still existed. Whatever. Bottom line was that Elijah Damian Nelson was the product of a one quarter-Italian, just-out-of-high-school, barely-legal adult, and a 30-something, Irish-Italian Mobster who had a thing for young, fresh meat. The bastard’s name? Gabriel DiVale. What a bastard he was. He didn’t even bother to help his mother with finances, but felt like he was entitled to seeing Eli. He really didn’t mind much because it was his father. However, that’s when shit got a bit real.

When he was about ten or so, Elijah’s mother was beaten pretty good. She had a few broken bones and all sorts of cuts on her body. Apparently Gabe hit her pretty good, and struck the fear of God into her. IT got so bad that once word was reached that Gabe was going to be on his way to kill her or whatever, she packed what she and ten-year-old Elijah needed, and went to go live with her parents in Las Vegas. There is where Carrie started a new life for them. 

As the years went on, it became obvious that Elijah would fall into the wrong crowds. He began hanging with stoners, drug dealers, hookers, prostitutes, burnouts, and all sorts of bad folk. Once he reached the age of thirteen, he began staying out late, getting into trouble with the police. By the time he was fourteen, Eli had stacked up an admirable rap sheet of petty theft, assault, and robbery. All the while his mother, Carrie, was trying to make end’s meet by working as a Cocktail Waitress at Caeser’s Palace on the Strip. There she met a man that would soon become her husband, Zachary Richard Hart. Through whatever divine intervention, he took a liking to them, and within a year or so, they were to be married, thus taking in Carrie and Elijah to live with him and his daughter, Adielle.. He thought it was whatever. He didn’t care for the guy and had even less interest in his new stepsister(who was only a year younger than him, but had similar extracurrlicular activities outside of school), but at least he wouldn’t have to worry about his mother. Despite how he acted, Eli loved his mother, and his stepfather treated her with respect. Still, that didn’t stop him from continuing what he did. He continued to get into trouble, continued to break the law, and continued to hang out in the bad neighborhoods with few friends he made in their first few years in Las Vegas. There was no signs of him, or his step sister for that matter, of slowing down or stopping.

Sadly, their parents cared what they both did. Eventually, both found out what their kids were up to. Safe to say, they weren’t happy. Zachary and Carrie have had problems with their kids many times before. Each time they would catch wind of them doing not-so-legal activities, they would be punished accordingly. However, as the sneaky teens that they were, they always found ways to get back to their habits of partying and fucking. Each time they would, they would get caught, and again disobey their parents. However, the last time was the final straw, it seemed. Not only did both parents lay down the law, but they took measures to another level. They would start sending them to a camp starting on Adielle’s sixteenth year and Eli’s seventeeth. This camp was called Camp Liberty. Both kids have been going there for two years with the year of 2016 being their second. Obviously the first year didn’t change anything. Well, second  time’s the charm.[/indent]

He met Caroline when she was just out of high school. He is described as scary, violent, very misogynistic. During his time with Carrie, he beat her daily, and probably would have introduced his son into the life he lived if it wasn’t for Carrie’s bravery to move away from him.

Carrie met her now husband , Zachary Hart, while she was working as a cocktail waitress at Caeser’s Palace.  They clicked instantly, and became married within a year of dating. Though Elijah didn’t care for him at the start, he eventually became adjusted to him. He made his mother happy, so he was happy.
