⊟ Vain | Violtent | Territorial | Dishonest
Elias is not a particularly approachable person. He’s far more likely to punch someone than introduce himself. He’s very flashy and enjoys the feeling of being ogled. He’s fiercely territorial of his space and protective of those he loves. He frequently comes off as controlling around those (un)lucky few, though it’s not intentional. He thinks he knows what’s best for others and is reluctant to see other perspectives. He’s usually quite wild-- feral might be a better word-- and has almost no care for societal rules or other’s feelings. He’s also, exceedingly vicious. While Elias is very aware of the fact that he’s physically weak, that does absolutely nothing to stop him from starting fights he can’t win. He’s had his nose broken twice since becoming a human, once in Amaiera. There are a few exceptions to his typical sunny disposition. Notably children. Elias was never close with his own chicks (he didn’t really understand familial bonds until he became human), but he very much so wished he was. Elise was his only real connection. Now, with all of his new emotions, he has a lot of affection for pretty much any child. If he can grant a wish for them, he undoubtedly will. He also adores artists of all kinds and will happily stop to watch whatever they’re doing.

Strengths
- Secrecy: If you trust him enough to tell him your secrets-- which you shouldn’t-- he will take them to his grave.
- Spoken Language: Elias can understand anything said to him. He can't always respond though.
- Gambling: He's got a mean game, made much easier by a second pair of eyes hiding in the rafters.
- Summoning and Illusions: The only magic he has a firm grasp on.
- Pain Tolerance: His bones break everytime he shifts forms. He got used to it.

Weaknesses
- Learning: New skills come slow to Elias. Very, very slow.
- Emotions: Elias became human recently and he still doesn't quite know how to act like one.
- Codependence: How can you be a person on your own? Can someone tell him please?
- Depth Perception: Seeing uv light doesn't help you judge distance. Will occasionally bob his head to simmulate it, but he thinks he looks stupid.
He does. - Self Control: He just has none.
History
As Elias remembers it, he was a bird and then he very suddenly wasn’t. The first time he shifted was excruciating, but it hasn't been like that for a decade. He spent that time watching a particularly pitiable child turn into an equally sorry adult. Everything that's happened to him has been her fault, and he still can't bring himself to hate her for it.

And now, well... since arriving, he's broken his nose again, almost been killed twice, and his daughter's no longer speaking to him, so... fine. Things are just fine.
