Physical Description

Image

Describe Elias in a single word? Please, there hasn’t yet been a word invented that can encompass the wonder that is himself.

Bastian by birth, Elias is of the standard for his countryman’s height at a respectable 5’7”, though in a good pair of leather shoes with a slight heel he stands about 5’8”. His features are strongly aristocratic, with high cheekbones and a soundly square jawline, rounded off by just the hint of a cleft in his chin. His eyes are mostly a muted green, but due to the gold that edges the iris’ they tent to come across more hazel. Crowned by a healthy head of raven hair that tends to curl just enough to be roguish, Elias tops his Bastian heritage off with a slightly tan complexion and a persistent two day stubble.

His sense of fashion is impeccable, dressing in three piece suits in various fashionable color swatches. He favors muted tones, with a flash of color either by a cravat or a pocket square. He wears black polished leather boots with a good strong heel, and ensures his hair is always styled in a way that looks like he effortlessly just rolled out of bed and looked that amazing.

Elias wears no jewellery, save for cuff links that match his chosen outfit of the day, though his favorite fashion accessory is a tightly rolled cigarette and a glass of Bastian Dulcet Red. He holds himself with an air of someone who not only believes they are better than you, but knows they are, no matter what race you come from.

Personality

Image

Elias is shamelessly galdori in his appearance and his demeanor, though don’t mistake this for a fondness of his peers or some misconception that galdori are the supreme race. There is only one person that is superior in his eyes, and that is himself. He presents as well spoken and high born, and will shine a cheeky smile on those he takes fancy to, but one should never presume that Elias thinks they are ever his equal. He is perfection, incarnate, and those who he indulges his time on should count themselves lucky to be in his presence. His attitude can quite often come across as nonchalant or condescending, and quite often it’s because he is, but even when he is being kind Elias suffers from what one might call ‘bitchy resting face’. He can come across as hedonistic, enjoying alcohol, narcotics, parties, drama and trouble. He is quick witted and sharp with his tongue, but this should not be confused with a lack of understanding about the severity of any situation.

All of this however hides a softer side to the Bastian, a real side reserved only for those he trusts or respects—and thus far there are none that have yet had the opportunity to witness this part of him. If someone were to crack his self important exterior they would find a complex and deeply thoughtful man with far to much on his mind and a vulnerability he’s tamping down into the ground with a heeled boot. Once he does trust someone, Elias is fiercely protective and caring. When he is hurt, Elias tends to have a self destructive streak, throwing himself into anything that removes his aching.

Born and raised in Bastia in his early years, Elias is very theatrical and dramatic, with a passion for pretty things. Paintings, artworks, music, people. He loves to enjoy the finest things in life, and takes what he wants when he wants, with a tendency to lean on magic to get his way.

In the realm of Conversation, he is a skilled Static-mancer and an accomplished airship pilot. Boldly, Elias doesn’t take the concept of noble uses to heart at all, taking a rather nonchalant point of view on magic with a casual flair. The use of magic for this galdor is a means to an end, and he is not afraid to splash out. He has brailed many times in his life, but the experience just makes him more determined to get back into the game and come back more fierce than before.

Elias prays to no Gods, he worships no one. The world is his oyster and he will bend only when he chooses to bend. For all his self-important tendencies, the Bastian is a terribly shallow creature and can easily be swayed into action by one of three things: Treasure, music or a roll in the sheets.

Elias is not particular about what gender or race he takes to his sheets, provided they are well groomed and pretty. He doesn't kiss and tell, but he isn't afraid to let his intentions be known. Rejection doesn't offend him, but if the game is interesting enough he will continue to chase.


ENTREPRENEUR (ESTP, -A/-T)

Backstory

Born in Bastia, Elias was the youngest child of Roseannah and Peyter Mercucianno, a well respected family name in Florne that owned numerous trade routes between Bastia and the rest of Vita, in the form of Moa drawn caravans and some minor airship dabbling. They primary shipped Omn Lie Amber Salt and Mugrobi silks into Bastia for sale to the vendors of the city. His sister Leandrah was seven years his senior. All the family were strongly Bastian in background, with dark hair and green eyes.

Once he came of age, Elias followed in Leandrah’s footsteps to take his test in Brunnhold, scoring a reasonable eight out of ten. Both children were sent to Brunnhold for their formative years, however when Elias turned fifteen they pulled him out of the University and commenced homeschooling due to a new and lucrative business opportunity that had arisen requiring a more hands on management of their stock movement. By this time Leandrah had already been out of school and assisting her parents in running the business for two years.

The Mercucianno’s had made a deal with the King, under the premise of their family business name and the shipment of salt and silks, but truth be told they were smuggling a variety of exotic drugs. Not just opiates but foreign curiosities from the likes of Hesse and Hox. Elias would often be sat in the cabin with his father as the man sailed the sky doing arithmetic whilst his mother and sister were procuring their next shipment. It was in these times with his father Elias picked up his piloting skills, the Static mona in his field so comfortably compatible with the act of sailing the great ships of the sky. During stop overs in the Bastian home, Leandrah and Elias had a close bond, the older girl teaching her brother how to play a beautiful portable harpsichord that she owned. Granted, the boy was far more interested in magic than he was in music, but he definitely picked up a thing or two.

When docked in the Rose, Elias found himself in the company of many other pirates and Bad Brothers, collecting a colorful view of the world for a galdori mind. His concept of race superiority was skewed when seeing a wick control the harbor and humans stand by gollies. Truth be told, Elias never knew the full truth of his parents business, so for him the Brothers were no more than friends or visitors. The Mercucianno’s built up a small fleet over the next few years, and Peyter had a wild notion that they were established enough they could break away from Hawke’s work and create their own illicit trade routes. It would be full cut of the profits.

It would also mean betrayal.

In his eighteenth year, the youth awakened in the late hours of night to the screams of his family, and Elias found their own personal airship they used as a home was caught in raging blaze just over the ocean between Muluku and the Rose. His sister had already been caught in the blaze, her body a charred disfigured shape thrown against the controls. Roseannah used her Physical magic to create a barrier spell whilst Peyter strapped a life vest to his teenage son. Without waiting for him to be prepared, the man shoved him from the burning ship. He fell into the water, knocking the wind from his lungs and breaking a leg. When he came too, the ship was nothing but a ball of flame falling from the sky.

Luck be had, the flames attracted a fishing vessel which picked the young man up and returned him to the Rose. Everyone deemed the fire a malfunction, a mechanical or magical issue, and knowing nothing better Elias believed it. Hurt, angry and alone in the world, Elias sold the fleet and swore never to get in an airship again, hating the vessels that he’d practically grown up in the past few years.

The young galdor took his family’s funds and moved back to Bastia for a while, buying a couple of investment homes and living off the income he received from those places. But he found Bastia had lost its flair after loosing his family. Everything reminded him of them, and he fell into drinking and dabauchery. He eventually rented out the family home and moved to Vienda to enjoy the delights of the city and shove his feelings deep down into the depths.

Property investor and professional slacker. Could be a pilot should the mood take him.

Income: Wealthy

After the tragic demise of his parents in most peculiar circumstances, Elias inherited their combined wealth. He sold the fleet of airships, swearing to never again step foot in one and left the Rose, buying a few good investment properties in Vienda and Bastia, living off the rental income and the interest of his parents inheritance.


Housing and Inventory

Housing: Type

Elias owns multiple properties, though he currently rents them out for the income. His personal home is a rather lavish bachelor pad style split level home in Vienda. It's decor is primarily greys, blacks and golds and it contains a lot of delightfully expensive art from around the world. He has home staff who clean and maintain the premises, but insists on cooking himself. It is utterly too big and lavish for one man.

Inventory

Aside from a rich range of expensive clothing and artworks, Elias' most favorite possession is his portable harpsichord. It belonged to his sister, who taught him how to play whilst they were home in Bastia.


Goals

Find a spark to ignite him, something to give him more than this shallow life. He needs an adventure to save him before he kills himself with drink and drugs.
