Elliot Carson's Links
"I could die at any time, could die in a freak accident tomorrow. You are worth the risks being with you pose. For you, i-it is worth it. I want to give it, this, us, a chance. Please give me a chance?" - Elliot
Elliot is a romantic at heart. He believes that love is a rare thing, and that finding it however unlikely means you hold onto it and fight for it.
Having struggled with stuttering in his early years, Elliot had turned rather shy and hesitant to speak up. Especially around girls he had a crush on, he'd find himself more tongue-tied than normal. While he overcame the stuttering he remained shy.
Initially smitten by the appearance of an adventurer aasimar in Naporia, he found himself pulled in and along when she asked him out for a date. It had been a lovely boat ride, a picnic while overseeing some of his favourite spots.
Even after this, and their joint job to guard an archaelogist headed for some ruins, he struggled to get out of his own way, afraid he would not be good enough, would end up disappointing her... and generally fearing rejection - despite her apparent interest.
It took a couple of close calls with death, one of which left him maimed, to shift his perspective. He might die at any time, what did he stand to lose by simply being himself and showing how he felt?
Upon meeting Cendre near Myrefall, the two had a discussion in which they solidified their relationship, deciding to give it a chance despite the dangers following her, and the distance that might one day separate them.
He wants to be stronger so that he can travel with her without causing her to worry for his safety.
"If I've used all the luck and fortune I had to my name just to end up with you, it would have been worth it" - Cendre
Cendre arrived in Naporia dull, broken, a shell of a person. She'd initially asked him out, only half serious, amused at how flustered this city guard was arouns her. Only to come to realize how nice he was, how easily he could coax smiles and laughter out of her simply by being himself. His goodness pierced a part of her she'd kept isolated while in captivity, and she found herself falling fast.
Before long, she was smitten, especially as he saw past the curse of the crown she wore. During the trek to some ruins, they spent a month bonding and getting to know each other, before Cendre had to leave Naporia in a rush with only the briefest farewells.
It devastated her, especially as she was left uncertain where they stood.
After being killed and brought back to life, and managing to contact him via the magic of a new group member, she started to realize just how much she missed him, how strongly she felt now that the cursed crown no longer muted her feelings. Reuniting with him near Myrefall, she came to realize how lonely she'd been most of her life.
She is torn between wanting to keep him close, and making sure he stays at home in Naporia.
During her first meeting with her older sister Sol, he was her rock. He'd coax smiles and laughter out of her when she felt she had none to give, made her feel whole and strong, and most of all - supported. She realized she doesn't want to lose him.
Elliot is the youngest son of Tamara Carson. He is very close to his mother, and lived with her until very recently - until he set out adventuring. Tammy helped him overcome his stuttering, and lit in him a joy for cooking.
