Elijah Emeragold

Summary

Stoic and usually antisocial, Eli tends to stray away from parties and gatherings; he'd much rather prefer sitting in silence and enjoying a good book or hanging out with only a few friends. There's only a selective few with whom he puts his guard even partially down for. In a fight, he tends to hang back and take a more cautious, defensive approach, helping his allies from the side with his forcefields, shields, and pinpoint accuracy with a long-range weapon. His talent with a firearm or bow and arrows is near second to none, but his talents with social sensibilities need work.

A man of his word and a responsible person, he runs a bar called The Phoenix with his brother, and works alongside a half-demon and a shapeshifter in a mercenary trio as a side gig. The job has given him an eye for gold, and only strengthened his distrust of strangers.
