PERSONALITY

Sees the good in literally everything, try to stop him. Optimist. Daydreamer. Gets disappointed when the reality doesn't live up to his daydreams but has learned that everything can't be perfect. Experiences the world with almost a childish curiosity and is amazed by most things. Loves to learn from everyone and everything. Genuinely warm, caring, heedful, would literally never dream of hurting anyone. Incredibly empathic to the degree that others' emotions affect himself, easily understands what others need. He's a great listener and tell him your problems and he will do whatever he can to fix them and preferably your whole life and also give you a puppy. He cares about others too much and forgets about himself, and if he's not careful, others can easily run him over and use him.

He's private and doesn't talk about himself a lot. Difficult to talk about his own thoughts and feelings, and often feels he can't be himself. Showing emotions and feelings is easy though. He's a bit shy and awkward, low confidence, and believes few appreciate what he does and he often feels like a failure when he doesn't reach his own goals. Not social - being outgoing is something he has learned. Needs a lot of time for himself. Looks calm, but there's a lot of energy and passion when he's stuck for something. Hard worker, gets absorbed in whatever he's doing and forgets about doing the mundane. Afraid of conflicts and avoids them, can't handle critique and takes it personally.

Super intuitive. He knows things and "doesn't know why", and he's most of the time right whenever he gets his 'feels'. He trusts his gut, intuition, and instincts. He gets 'feelings' about things and people, and can easily read a person and doesn't want anything to do with those who feel dishonest and corrupt. Other feelings can be him sensing that something problematic has happened to a certain person and it later turns out the person has been in a car accident, for example.

BACKSTORY

  • Born in Sala, Sweden. 

  • Had a bunch of "imaginary friends" as a child. His parents told him he was lying, Elliot insisted they were real. 

  • He would know who was calling on the phone when it rang, he knew what letters were about before someone had opened them, he would announce the daily special at the grocery store before arriving, he would describe in advance what friends and relatives were wearing or what food they'd be serving before meeting them. He always found his mother's keys when she lost them. He physically felt his family's pain in his body if they were in pain, in trouble, or had a problem.

  • He began to just know things about the neighbors, and just about everyone he met. He instinctively knew private matters that he shouldn't know and he knew they were true. Just knowing became actually hearing, as if someone stood in front of him and spoke to him, and not only "hearing in his heart". 

  • Elliot was often low, depressed, and close to suicidal as a teen because he felt left out and like he didn't belong. A victim for bullying in school, rumors about him being crazy, he was strange and moved funny and couldn't tie his shoes. Spirits harassed him. It became difficult to know which people were real in the flesh and which people were dead. Overwhelmed by the spiritual world and bullying from both other students, teachers, and his familly - depression got the best of him and Elliot attempted suicide at the age of 18. He became involuntarily hospitalized. 

  • He met a deaf girl, Emma, in the same age when he was a child and began to learn sign language through her, as well as bothered his parents because he wanted to get to know her. It worked well apparently, because at the age of 23, they got married, and later had a daughter named Fawn.

  • He got a job as a high school teacher and the being a psychic thing was a hobby for a long while until he became more semi-professional in his 30s and had larger group seances for the first time. He also became interested in using tarot as a sort of aid, and to give the client spiritual guidance, and not only being a medium for the dead.

  • Elliot and Emma divorced when they were 35, as Elliot had come out as gay. Not that he didn't love her, because he did, but cracks grew in their marriage and they had to go separate ways. Ever since, Elliot has had little luck with finding a new partner because of the fact that he's psychic. Either they don't believe him and think he's nuts, or they do believe him and run because they don't want him to find out something he shouldn't.

HE'S EXTRA

PSYCHIC/INTUITIVE MEDIUM

First thing first - Elliot is psychic, which means his intuition is incredibly strong and he senses things so well and so much it can seem like he's reading thoughts. Secondly, he is a medium, and that means he communicates with spirits. He gets answers through all senses by the spirits - he sees, hears, feels, smells, and tastes. With these two gifts (or curses), he can easily read a person's life situation, emotional life, what has happened, and what will eventually happen. He can use tarot or drawing as an aid, but it's not necessary. 

This means metagaming will/can occur. If you want Elliot to read someone, you're gonna have to give me the information.

OLD SOUL

You know how some people are just... old souls? Elliot is one of those. He's old, so incredibly much older older than his 42 years on Earth. His soul is also bright, radiates strongly of unconditional love and warmth. This usually makes all kinds of beings attracted to him and his presence, human or non-human.

WITCH (UNREVEALED / SUPERNATURAL SHIT ONLY)

Born a witch, learned a lot from his parents, and wants to know more. He's the guy you go to if you want to find out more about a specific creature or spell. He knows all kinds of different potions, spells, rituals, knows too much about various ingredients and their effects, can create strong amulets, defense and shields against everything and everyone, etc. He has his own library with old, dusty books in different languages about magic and creatures. 

Elliot is 138 years old in this verse and owns a lil witchy shop for everything witchy, spiritual and boho.
