ELLY

For daily life, Elly has a clear preference for anything considered fashionable at the moment, tending to lean more towards androgynous or masculine styles than anything too obviously feminine. He's a fan of understated, low-saturation colors, and would rather wear something old but cozy than in-style but uncomfortable, tending to spruce the former up with patches he collects on his travels (or just buys off of Etsy.)

For business matters, the masculine lean to his style of dress becomes more apparent, with everything he wears seemingly starched or pressed in some way. He crinkles when he walks. It's a bit weird. more tbn i dont know shit about formalwear lol...

On-camera or not, Elly's a bit of a pain to be around. He maintains that exaggerated, peppy influencer demeanor at all times, never quite clear whether it's all an act or just his genuine personality. Everything seems to send him into hysterics, and if you're someone he finds especially funny, he'll follow you to the ends of the Earth in the least pleasing way possible. He finds great delight in others' misfortune, but it's more often in the form of slapstick humor than anyone getting actually injured. Hopefully.

This isn't his first host. The Mignyan invasion was hardly a blip on anyone's radar when Elly arrived to Earth, and he's rather pleased that it's stayed underground since. Having showed up right in the middle of a centuries-ongoing demon panic, Elly decided quickly to capitalize on the chaos- after all, there's always going to be more than one side of an argument, and the public's stance on "demons" was no different. The meaty features inherent to Mignyan crabs made it easy for him to pass himself off as a demon named Delphyne confined to a fragile form, eventually amassing a small band of followers who supplied him with his first host. He started off with power and influence in his society, and it was a trend he was going to keep up for as long as he could. If they got out of line, they could always be snapped back in by force. Over the years, Elly's use of threats to keep his followers in line became less of a "threat" and more blatant abuse of power, making anyone in his general vicinity fight for his honor- and he loved it. And all for the grand prize of what, a couple words he could spit out at anyone? It was perfect!

It was perfect. Him and his followers were quickly found out, and those who didn't die on the spot ended up being executed for treason. To anyone watching, it would appear that Delphyne was one of the casualties, headless body sprawled out on the stone floor- and that was the story that spread, even as Elly made himself cozy in the skull of one of the city guards who'd conducted the raid. Keeping up the ruse was boring, though, and eventually, he slipped right back into his old ways of making his subordinates rip each other to shreds for shits and giggles. It was a brutal cycle- try and be a worthwhile invader, get bored, make idiots fight, get found out, jump hosts- and it continued on for centuries.

As society progressed, so did his personas. Nobility. Politicians. Celebrities. And, now, an instagram influencer. The one thing he has going for him now, though, is the anonymity of the internet- No one knows who Delphyne is, only that he has something special in store for them if they complete the tasks he assigns.
