Background/Story

Born as the second eldest of a large family, Eli always was out of place. His dreams didn't fit in with his siblings' "ordinary aspirations" and instead aimed for much odder things. He was greatly amused by the tinkering he did with clockwork as he managed to make many complicated, yet terrifying toys. Other children avoided him like the plague but he felt contentment in his solace. He grew up to be an Inn Keeper, taking over the family business after his eldest sister died from a heart condition. Although he maintained an air of normality, he continued his inventing on the sidelines, all the while making himself into the "perfect human."

He knew that the changes he was making to himself weren't "perfect" but they were perfect in his eyes. He knew that most people would find them detestable but instead decided that beauty was found in the strange and unusual. The farther away from normal he strayed, the better he appeared. He is currently happy with how he looks but still plans on making any changes he sees fit in the future.

Trivia

• "Eli can appreciate the strategy and skill it requires to play chess; so much so, he’s working on a machine that can not only play it, but easily predict its opponent’s future moves, much like a live person would do. He prefers working on projects that take a lot of patience - the longer it takes for him to build, the higher the quality. His simpler projects are at the inn, to make upkeep a little easier. Revolving coat hangers, machines that fold sheets, pillow fluffers..." - @issakidnamedFlo
• Believes raw eggs will do wonders for the brain.

From childhood's hour I have not been as others were; I have not seen as others saw; I could not bring my passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken my sorrow; I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone; and all I loved, I loved alone. -Edgar Allan Poe
