Basic Information

History
Elias was born into a historically poor family, they were all farm workers and lived very simple lives. When he was born, however, his family decided they wanted a better life for their first son. The family scrounged together what they could and finally managed to move away to a proper town when he was young.
Because of this move and his parent's encouragement, Eli was one of the first in their family to learn to read and write, though it was sometimes difficult to dedicate time to learning when he also had to help out around the house. Despite the change in pace and opportunities, they were still struggling.
It was fortuitous then, when Elias peeked the noticeboard and saw one from some rich person in town requesting hard working and brave folk for a certain job opportunity, training provided. The only information on it was primarily operating at night, which didn't bother him- he'd been a night watchman for a while.
As it turned out, the opportunity was protecting the town from the growing vampire problem. The ones hired would be given an office to conduct study and work out of, and a man to teach them self defense. Learning about this did unnerve Eli; he didn't even know the monsters existed until then... But the pay was amazing, if he was just careful it should be fine, he was confident.
Personality
As might be expected, Elias is quite a hard-working and selfless man. Usually if someone around him needs help, he'll be the first to offer a hand where he can. He can be impulsive and often makes decisions quickly based on his feelings in the moment. This does mean he's often quick to react to things happening around him.
Despite his qualifications and willingness to learn, he has trouble holding down jobs. Usually it's either he gets bored or doesn't like the work and finds something else around town to help out with. His most recent and longest-lasting job being working as a night watchman. Elias very quickly grows discontent with the same and craves excitement and something new.

Appearance
Eli usually dresses in warm and comfortable clothes, currently his go-to is the coat he was given when he joined the town's night watchmen that he was allowed to keep after he parted ways and quit that job. Not visible because he tries to hide it, he usually has faint bite marks on his arms for the day after he decides to let July feed on him. Additionally he also looks visibly tired the day after being bitten, as one might be if they had a lot of their life energy drained.
He has several scars and marks from prior accidents, most prominent and most recent is the one on his cheek he got in an altercation one night while on the job.
His hair is slightly curled and is kept parted in the center, and when he has time he tries to keep his beard nicely tidy and short-ish. Due to doing a lot of very physical work the past several years he's decently strong
Design Notes
- When working, he keeps weapons and gear on his belt
- Preferably shouldn't be drawn with vamp bite marks visible except specific circumstances (with July)
- But can otherwise be drawn in bloody/ gore-y situations (he does hunt vampires after all)
Relationships
Close Friend
When Eli took this job, he didn't expect he would end up being rescued by July, but now it seems it's become his task to babysit the young vampire and try to keep him out of trouble.
