__________________________________________________________
Elementalists Only
Level: 2
Elementalists Magic Elijah can control water best of any of the elements, but he also has moderate control over air. For example, he could create a tsunami if he wanted to, but all he could do with the wind is make a gentle breeze. He also can control ice, because it is a form of water. He cannot control it to the same precise extent as liquid water, however. He can turn water into ice, but then he looses some modicum of control over it.

Features: Elijah has a square jaw and "pretty boy" features. He has bright blue eyes and a lopsided smile that tends to make women melt at the knees. He is tall-ish, standing at 5'11'', and lean. He is strong, but not overly muscular. He is almost always smiling. Sometimes he wears glasses, but prefers contacts.
Sexual Preference [Optional]: Hetero
Ethnicity: Scottish
Marks/Tattoos/Visible Scars: None (yet)
__________________________________________________________
Flaws/Weaknesses:
-Elijah, whose mother abandoned him, was married, and his wife left him, so he is not very trusting of women. He is, however, a perfect gentleman to them, even though he doesn't think they always deserve it. It's just how he is. So yeah, woman-trust issues.
-Elijah has a little bit of a temper. He bottles things up pretty well, and doesn't lose it often, but when he does, woe betide the bystanders.
-He also tends to be a loner. He is a little socially awkward, so he doesn't always know the best way to interact with other people. He is always polite, always a gentleman, but he has a hard time meeting new people.
Skills/Strengths:
-Elijah is, as mentioned above, a wonderful gentleman. He was raised by his dad and grandfather, who both taught him how to be respectful and good.
-Elijah is fast and strong. He's healthy and takes good care of himself.
-Elijah also is very smart, book-wise. He's socially awkward, but that's partially because he's so intelligent that he doesn't know how to interact with people who don't connect with him on an intellectual level.

Other Information: As mentioned above, Elijah's mother left him and his dad when Elijah was a teenager, so he has issues with women. These were only made worse when his wife, Eleanor, left him after being married for five years. They never had any children, but Elijah desperately wants kids of his own.
__________________________________________________________
History: Elijah was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. He went to an all-boys school until he graduated from high school, at which point he came to the States to go to university.
When he was 15, his mother walked out on Elijah and his dad, and Mr Grey's father (Elijah's grandpa) moved in with them to help out with things. Elijah and his dad and grandfather are all very close, even though Mr Grey and Grandfather stayed in Edinburgh after Elijah came to the US.
Elijah studied international business in college, and traveled a lot with his job. He was in England around the age of 24, and while he was there he met Eleanor Windsley, whom he married when he was 25. She was 24, and they were very much in love.
After being married for five years, Eleanor decided she missed England, having moved back to the States with Elijah, and so one night she just packed up while he was away for work and left. They never had any children, but Elijah still longs for a son to this day.
Elijah moved to Scriptor Bay after his divorce, leaving his international business job and working as an administrative assistant in a large office building downtown. He still visits Scotland every Christmas, and goes for his birthday, his father's birthday, and his grandfather's birthday. He also spends a month there every summer.
RP Sample: "Shit!"
Hunter's exclamation had brought Hadley out of her reverie, and she watched silently as he rushed to close the curtains and bolt the door.
"What are you doing, Haddles?" Hadley didn't answer. She didn't really have anything to say. She just shrugged her shoulders and continued to stare at her feet. Maybe this had been a bit impulsive, but boy, her wings felt better. The relief was almost palpable.
"Give me a little warning next time?" Hadley cracked a small smile and nodded. "Sorry," she said, finally looking at Hunter again. "My back has been killing me. Wings especially," she explained. "No idea why though. I just had to get more comfortable. Sorry."
"Is everything okay?" Hunter's face was full of concern, and Hadley felt a rush of affection toward him at that moment, loving him infinitely for his show of worry. She saw his eyes flick from her face, to her bra, to her face again, and then to her wings, which twitched a little at the unfamiliar sensation of freedom.
Hunter moved toward her and took her arms gently in his hands, running his fingers up and down them. His touch raised goosebumps on her shoulders, but not because his hands were cold. They were quite warm indeed, she noted.
"C'mon, tell me what's wrong." His voice was so soft and tender, and Hadley knew that he didn't want to upset her.
Without warning, Hadley's arms were wrapped around Hunter's waist and she had pulled him in close, burying her face in his smokey t-shirt. She breathed deep, inhaling the familiar smell of his cologne and his cigarettes. She had to fight back tears as she clutched him to her, and she imagined the surprised look on his face. It made her smile a little, though Hunter wouldn't see her face, buried as it was in his chest.
Hadley just clung to Hunter for several minutes, cherishing the silence and the closeness of her best friend. She allowed herself to imagine for a brief moment that he felt for her what she did for him, and for that short instant she felt perfectly safe, warm and happy. She knew Kit would never hold her this way, and thinking about Kit made something click in her mind.
Oh, God. Oh... oh dear.
Hadley gasped at her realization and disengaged from Hunter's embrace, stepping back until her legs hit the bed and she collapsed onto it, one hand on her forehead and the other finding its way to her belly. She was suddenly nauseated- at least, more that usual these days- and she understood why.
