=== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">What's his story?</div> ===<br />
''This is a basic backstory and may not contain some of the more in-depth parts of his past. These may be outlined in either his journal or in the little spoiler box beneath the texts.''<br />
<br />
:'''William "Mira'a" Harrowton''' is a particularly shy, timid male Miqo'te hailing from, well, Limsa Lominsa, although he's not a native there, having been born in Gridania, located in the Shroud, under one of the Keeper of the Moon tribes under the name of Mira'a Harruten. His clan moved to La Noscea when he was around two to five years old, the reasoning for his tribe moving to the isle of Vylbrand is... cloudy.<br />
<br />
:Eventually, they integrated into society as a variety of jobs, some fishermen, some blacksmiths, others have taken to visiting the city-state itself to work there, but William stayed where he was, content, for the most part, although his curiosity for magic and the world at large was sparked by a dream he had when he was ten years old. He was wandering the forests, merely just exploring when he stumbled across an open clearing, a calming scene to be sure, as he stumbled across a field of fairies and, amongst their lot, was a Miqo'te, one who seems like one of the arcanists. He reached out to the male Miqo'te to lay a hand on him but, before he can even do that, the dream faded, and all that was left was a lingering sense of curiosity and wanderlust.<br />
<br />
:He eventually began to make trips to Limsa itself, enrolling in the Arcanist's Guild when he was of age to do so and began to study the mysteries of the Aether, Arcanima, and the lot, his open mind aiding him in his attunement to the world around him. Soon enough, he was old enough to start going out and explore what Eorzea has to offer, much to the delight of his birth-mother, who had been worried that his timid nature would make him more of a stay-at-home type and believing that his wandering can do him some good.<br />
<br />
:Now, he's an adventurer, and although he lacks in social skills and tends to be fearful, a burning sense of curiosity and his attempts at calming himself down helps keeps his fears in check.<br />
<br />
:Eventually, due to reasons unknown, he faded from the eyes of the Eorzeans, but he eventually resurfaced as an adopted brother to the newcomer to Eorzea, one Sera Alzeni. His overall mood, disposition, everything, had taken a turn for the worse over the years he had gone missing with only a few people keeping him together, just barely.<br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===<br />
==== A Realm Reborn ====<br />
: William tends to keep his head down low unless he's looking around, which he often does when he enters a new area. He has well-kept hair and wears glasses, having lost some of his sight after standing too close to a very bright light at one point. His wardrobe usually remains consistent between suns, or tends to. Bilauds are his favourite ones to wear, but he also has a soft spot for coats, too. They generally tend to come in his favourite colours; blue, green, or shades of purple.<br />
<br />
: He's lived a rather quiet life, although hiding behind his books, and he tends to stammer when speaking. He's quite shy around strangers, and even acquaintances! He's never without something in his hands to fidget with, especially when the spotlight is on him, and eye contact is a bit of a problem for him, oftentimes looking past someone to avoid looking them in the eyes; it's not that he dislikes anyone, it's mostly because eye contact, to him, seems scary. When he warms up, though, he becomes a little bit more open, although still kind of reserved, eye contact is still a bit off but there's the rare occasion when he would happily look someone in the eye, but only if he really feels comfortable around said person.<br />
<br />
: He tends to be very honest, seemingly incapable of lying, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on situation. And, not only that, but if he really trusts someone, he'll confide in them, sharing his secrets and history rather openly.<br />
<br />
: Outside of social situations, he tends to be a rather forgetful person, absent-minded even.<br />
<br />
: And despite his quiet, timid nature, there's a rather vicious side to him, one that can be easily accessed by pushing his buttons too much or by harming those he considers to be his friends (or most women in general, thanks to his upbringing). When angered, he tends to explode, using whatever he has at his disposal to deal with the threat. However, he gives his target much prior warning before setting off, though, to give them a chance to back down, a necessity in a public place.<br />
<br />
: To summarise, he's shy, timid, absent-minded, and has a bad temper when angered. He's also kind of childish at times, but that's a double-edged sword. He's kind, friendly, and sweet, who puts the needs of the people before his own, often to his own detriment.<br />
<br />
==== Heavensward ====<br />
: Ever since the disappearance of his wife, Mira'a has gotten more and more cynical and jaded with the world. Gone is the shy, naive hopeful that he once was. The stutter had faded, replaced only by his tone sounding so bored half the time. He no longer easily trusts people instead being replaced with an iron-tight unwillingness to part with anything that would potentially bring harm to him or his loved ones which, to him, happen to be everything, much to everyone's chagrin. However, earn his trust, as hard as it can be, and he may open back up.<br />
<br />
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Quirks</div>===<br />
: William tends to have trouble with some words, often times slowly pronouncing them. It doesn't help that he's rather forgetful.<br />
: He reacted coyly to being called 'cute' or 'adorable. Nowadays, this would be met with the equivalent of an exasperated sigh and eye roll.<br />
: As stated above, he fidgets with things when he's nervous which is, to say, pretty much all of the time. The only times he doesn't do this is when he's pre-occupied with something already.<br />
: He can be socially awkward at times due to the lack of proper socialisation when he was a kid. He'll try his best not to be awkward, though.<br />
: While he may refuse to admit it, he may or may not be the one responsible for the clothing that his carbuncles wear, all of them.<br />
<br />
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===<br />
: William isn't one for combat, but he knows how to protect himself in self-defense when the need arises. He has a very prodigious mind when it comes to magical prowess in general, although the arcanima is his main speciality, having studied it for years since he was a kit. He, however, lets his carbuncle, '''Emery the Emerald Carbuncle''' or '''Topery the Topaz Carbuncle''', deal with most of his threats as he focuses on casting from afar. Needless to say, he's very easy to interrupt and panic due to his skittish nature, and sending even a hint of intimidation his way is enough to give him pause. As of late, he has grown out of his childish ways as a result of the fates being cruel to him, becoming a truly fearsome arcanist to be reckoned with. Emery and Topery, as one knows them, no longer exist, but, in their place, they bequeathed a litter of carbuncles, if they were actual living beings and not aetherial projections.<br />
<br />
: There are about eight of them that he can potentially summon at one time, projected from the ruby jewellery that he wears on his person, each carbuncle persisting from his aether slowly drains away his stamina, hence, he can only comfortably keep two or three carbuncles active at one time. Each of them have their own personalities and names, and their own little costume that they wear, courtesy of a mysterious benefactor.<br />
<br />
: His secondary skills spans the arts of conjury, one that he's been studying for a while now. He's shown some natural talent with using it, due in part to his familiarity with the arcanima aiding him to understand how conjury works. However, his conjury prowess is tied to his emotional state. If he's determined, there's nothing stopping him from throwing a cure one's way. If he's frightened, however, his healing becomes less strong. Essentially, in a way, positivity empowers him, while negativity, self-inflicted or otherwise, hurts him. It's a shame that he sometimes have self-doubts about his potential, due to him downplaying most, if not all, of his accomplishments.<br />
<br />
: As for more material parts of combat, William cannot wield anything heavier than a staff for a good reason... he's practically physically weak. A stiff wind can easily knock him over if given the chance. He's tried to wield an axe for the Marauder's Guild when he was in his curious phase in the past. Needless to say, although some nervous chuckles from the other recruits there were had, he's hesitant to go back there, feeling like he's too weak for anything. Though this now no longer holds true, as recent physical training had helped bulk him up just a little bit, but the effects are very immediate.<br />

!colspan="6"| '''Physical Combat'''<br />
|-<br />
| Lancer ||As a magic user, he lacks simple basic training when it comes to being what one would call a disciple of war, his lack of training in balance and footwork, as well as his thinking doesn't get him very far. However, he's taken up training as a lancer under a trained lancer named Flynt Knoltros. Those who may know him and his current lack of physical strength may proceed to send the poor violet-haired boy their condolences.<br /> <br />Strangely enough, the boy managed to work at his lack of physical strength and had become stronger because of it. Slowly, but surely, he's becoming a fairly decent lancer.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible collapsed"<br />
!colspan="6"|'''Magical Combat'''<br />
|-<br />
| Arcanima || He has a good number of years worth of study behind him, and he's learnt the basics of being an Arcanist. However, his arcanima studies don't just stop there, and he's recently taken to branching out, being drawn to other magical studies such as conjury and thaumaturgy. While he's still pretty young, he can stand with, at least, the best of them. Recently, he's been studying ways to neutralize the lethality of the standard arcanist spells by way of just using ink with a different recipe. Whether it'll work or not is not clear as of now. He has eventually mastered the arcanima, becoming a powerful carbuncle-based summoner.<br />
|-<br />
| Conjury || There's something about this particular line of magic that clicks with him, and he doesn't know what. Its powers and philosophy reminds him of a parental figure he once had, who had since gone missing. Nevertheless, his eagerness to connect with nature greatly aids him in learning the ways of conjury, as well as his familiarity with the arcanima. His nature, however, tends towards the healing side of the spectrum, meaning the other parts are weakened for it, and not to mention that his conjury prowess is also tied to his emotional state.<br />
|-<br />
| Thaumaturgy || He has trouble trying to understand thaumaturgy, drawing from his own Aether to cast spells when he doesn't have much physical endurance in the first place is enough to knock him out if he tries anything harder than a simple ice spell. Nevertheless, he's trying hard to learn it, perhaps there could be a workaround for such a thing?<br />
|-<br />
| Nymian Arcanima || He's currently in study of the Nymian ruins in La Noscea and is coming up with very little answers save for a piece of paper with writing that is purported to be from his father and a book with almost all of its pages torn out. Not only that, but he's currently considering multiple options; find someone with a flying machine or something that could fly to check out the floating isles, take the boat over to the palace in Upper La Noscea and explore it, or pursue the supposed journal entries apparently left by his father. He eventually learned about this artform of arcanima, although he passed it on to one of his carbuncles.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:white;" size="3">●</font> [[Azami Lihzeh|Azami Harrowton]] - ''Wife'' (Deceased) - He easily made friends with this similarly shy girl, and all it took was for her to ask him and Surilian for directions that one time. She had admitted that she had a crush on him during their first meeting, and it didn't take long for William to follow suit. Eventually, they started to get to know each other, about their childhoods, about their interests, their opinions, about their tribes, basically, anything that they wish to know of each other. In the end... they became a couple and the rest, as they say, is history. Though she had been gone for a long time, a long search had found her around the Sagolii Desert... he doesn't precisely know what she's doing around there but he's more than happy to know that she's fine... and that she still loves him. Recently, out of nowhere, William had just asked her if she would marry him, to which she responded with a resounding yes. Now it's like a dream come true.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:pink;" size="3">♥</font> [[Surilian Blu]] - ''Friend/Possible second mother'' (MIA) - Someone he had met while at the Moonfire festival. Shares his love for books, which he certainly appreciates. He finds her to be a very nice person, despite what she supposedly did in her past, and will gladly call her a friend if needs be. Recently, he'd been having trouble sleeping (and eating) and stumbled across Suri and Akama down in Costa del Sol. After sharing his grievances and how he'd been having trouble sleeping with his beloved to wake up to (followed up by tears on his part), she (alongside Akama) offered him a place to stay where the Fangs are staying... though it is also partially out of concern, it seems, since he hadn't been eating right. Nevertheless, the little moment of bonding had improved William's impression of Suri... perhaps he could call her his second mother. Sounds about right.<br />

He usually sees this miqo'te with Ritsu, or Roger, or someone. Recently, he's decided to take up training as a lancer, and he's elected to allow the man to tutor him in the ways of the lancer. <s>Gods help us all.</s><br />

A fellow student of the arcane arts, her mastery over the geometric power of the Arcanists and the natural elemental power of Conjury is what awes him though. Nowadays, however, he's worried for her, as though something bad's out for her and he doesn't know what he should do about it.<br />

She was the first one that he had handed off a linkpearl of his to, in the event that she needs him for anything.<br />

=== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">What's his story?</div> ===<br />
''This is a basic backstory and may not contain some of the more in-depth parts of his past. These may be outlined in either his journal or in the little spoiler box beneath the texts.''<br />
<br />
:'''William "Mira'a" Harrowton''' is a particularly shy, timid male Miqo'te hailing from, well, Limsa Lominsa, although he's not a native there, having been born in Gridania, located in the Shroud, under one of the Keeper of the Moon tribes under the name of Mira'a Harruten. His clan moved to La Noscea when he was around two to five years old, the reasoning for his tribe moving to the isle of Vylbrand is... cloudy.<br />
<br />
:Eventually, they integrated into society as a variety of jobs, some fishermen, some blacksmiths, others have taken to visiting the city-state itself to work there, but William stayed where he was, content, for the most part, although his curiosity for magic and the world at large was sparked by a dream he had when he was ten years old. He was wandering the forests, merely just exploring when he stumbled across an open clearing, a calming scene to be sure, as he stumbled across a field of fairies and, amongst their lot, was a Miqo'te, one who seems like one of the arcanists. He reached out to the male Miqo'te to lay a hand on him but, before he can even do that, the dream faded, and all that was left was a lingering sense of curiosity and wanderlust.<br />
<br />
:He eventually began to make trips to Limsa itself, enrolling in the Arcanist's Guild when he was of age to do so and began to study the mysteries of the Aether, Arcanima, and the lot, his open mind aiding him in his attunement to the world around him. Soon enough, he was old enough to start going out and explore what Eorzea has to offer, much to the delight of his birth-mother, who had been worried that his timid nature would make him more of a stay-at-home type and believing that his wandering can do him some good.<br />
<br />
:Now, he's an adventurer, and although he lacks in social skills and tends to be fearful, a burning sense of curiosity and his attempts at calming himself down helps keeps his fears in check.<br />
<br />
:Eventually, due to reasons unknown, he faded from the eyes of the Eorzeans, but he eventually resurfaced as an adopted brother to the newcomer to Eorzea, one Sera Alzeni. His overall mood, disposition, everything, had taken a turn for the worse over the years he had gone missing with only a few people keeping him together, just barely.<br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===<br />
==== A Realm Reborn ====<br />
: William tends to keep his head down low unless he's looking around, which he often does when he enters a new area. He has well-kept hair and wears glasses, having lost some of his sight after standing too close to a very bright light at one point. His wardrobe usually remains consistent between suns, or tends to. Bilauds are his favourite ones to wear, but he also has a soft spot for coats, too. They generally tend to come in his favourite colours; blue, green, or shades of purple.<br />
<br />
: He's lived a rather quiet life, although hiding behind his books, and he tends to stammer when speaking. He's quite shy around strangers, and even acquaintances! He's never without something in his hands to fidget with, especially when the spotlight is on him, and eye contact is a bit of a problem for him, oftentimes looking past someone to avoid looking them in the eyes; it's not that he dislikes anyone, it's mostly because eye contact, to him, seems scary. When he warms up, though, he becomes a little bit more open, although still kind of reserved, eye contact is still a bit off but there's the rare occasion when he would happily look someone in the eye, but only if he really feels comfortable around said person.<br />
<br />
: He tends to be very honest, seemingly incapable of lying, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on situation. And, not only that, but if he really trusts someone, he'll confide in them, sharing his secrets and history rather openly.<br />
<br />
: Outside of social situations, he tends to be a rather forgetful person, absent-minded even.<br />
<br />
: And despite his quiet, timid nature, there's a rather vicious side to him, one that can be easily accessed by pushing his buttons too much or by harming those he considers to be his friends (or most women in general, thanks to his upbringing). When angered, he tends to explode, using whatever he has at his disposal to deal with the threat. However, he gives his target much prior warning before setting off, though, to give them a chance to back down, a necessity in a public place.<br />
<br />
: To summarise, he's shy, timid, absent-minded, and has a bad temper when angered. He's also kind of childish at times, but that's a double-edged sword. He's kind, friendly, and sweet, who puts the needs of the people before his own, often to his own detriment.<br />
<br />
==== Heavensward ====<br />
: Ever since the disappearance of his wife, Mira'a has gotten more and more cynical and jaded with the world. Gone is the shy, naive hopeful that he once was. The stutter had faded, replaced only by his tone sounding so bored half the time. He no longer easily trusts people instead being replaced with an iron-tight unwillingness to part with anything that would potentially bring harm to him or his loved ones which, to him, happen to be everything, much to everyone's chagrin. However, earn his trust, as hard as it can be, and he may open back up.<br />
<br />
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Quirks</div>===<br />
: William tends to have trouble with some words, often times slowly pronouncing them. It doesn't help that he's rather forgetful.<br />
: He reacted coyly to being called 'cute' or 'adorable. Nowadays, this would be met with the equivalent of an exasperated sigh and eye roll.<br />
: As stated above, he fidgets with things when he's nervous which is, to say, pretty much all of the time. The only times he doesn't do this is when he's pre-occupied with something already.<br />
: He can be socially awkward at times due to the lack of proper socialisation when he was a kid. He'll try his best not to be awkward, though.<br />
: While he may refuse to admit it, he may or may not be the one responsible for the clothing that his carbuncles wear, all of them.<br />
<br />
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===<br />
: William isn't one for combat, but he knows how to protect himself in self-defense when the need arises. He has a very prodigious mind when it comes to magical prowess in general, although the arcanima is his main speciality, having studied it for years since he was a kit. He, however, lets his carbuncle, '''Emery the Emerald Carbuncle''' or '''Topery the Topaz Carbuncle''', deal with most of his threats as he focuses on casting from afar. Needless to say, he's very easy to interrupt and panic due to his skittish nature, and sending even a hint of intimidation his way is enough to give him pause. As of late, he has grown out of his childish ways as a result of the fates being cruel to him, becoming a truly fearsome arcanist to be reckoned with. Emery and Topery, as one knows them, no longer exist, but, in their place, they bequeathed a litter of carbuncles, if they were actual living beings and not aetherial projections.<br />
<br />
: There are about eight of them that he can potentially summon at one time, projected from the ruby jewellery that he wears on his person, each carbuncle persisting from his aether slowly drains away his stamina, hence, he can only comfortably keep two or three carbuncles active at one time. Each of them have their own personalities and names, and their own little costume that they wear, courtesy of a mysterious benefactor.<br />
<br />
: His secondary skills spans the arts of conjury, one that he's been studying for a while now. He's shown some natural talent with using it, due in part to his familiarity with the arcanima aiding him to understand how conjury works. However, his conjury prowess is tied to his emotional state. If he's determined, there's nothing stopping him from throwing a cure one's way. If he's frightened, however, his healing becomes less strong. Essentially, in a way, positivity empowers him, while negativity, self-inflicted or otherwise, hurts him. It's a shame that he sometimes have self-doubts about his potential, due to him downplaying most, if not all, of his accomplishments.<br />
<br />
: As for more material parts of combat, William cannot wield anything heavier than a staff for a good reason... he's practically physically weak. A stiff wind can easily knock him over if given the chance. He's tried to wield an axe for the Marauder's Guild when he was in his curious phase in the past. Needless to say, although some nervous chuckles from the other recruits there were had, he's hesitant to go back there, feeling like he's too weak for anything. Though this now no longer holds true, as recent physical training had helped bulk him up just a little bit, but the effects are very immediate.<br />

!colspan="6"| '''Physical Combat'''<br />
|-<br />
| Lancer ||As a magic user, he lacks simple basic training when it comes to being what one would call a disciple of war, his lack of training in balance and footwork, as well as his thinking doesn't get him very far. However, he's taken up training as a lancer under a trained lancer named Flynt Knoltros. Those who may know him and his current lack of physical strength may proceed to send the poor violet-haired boy their condolences.<br /> <br />Strangely enough, the boy managed to work at his lack of physical strength and had become stronger because of it. Slowly, but surely, he's becoming a fairly decent lancer.<br />

!colspan="6"|'''Magical Combat'''<br />
|-<br />
| Arcanima || He has a good number of years worth of study behind him, and he's learnt the basics of being an Arcanist. However, his arcanima studies don't just stop there, and he's recently taken to branching out, being drawn to other magical studies such as conjury and thaumaturgy. While he's still pretty young, he can stand with, at least, the best of them. Recently, he's been studying ways to neutralize the lethality of the standard arcanist spells by way of just using ink with a different recipe. Whether it'll work or not is not clear as of now. He has eventually mastered the arcanima, becoming a powerful carbuncle-based summoner.<br />
|-<br />
| Conjury || There's something about this particular line of magic that clicks with him, and he doesn't know what. Its powers and philosophy reminds him of a parental figure he once had, who had since gone missing. Nevertheless, his eagerness to connect with nature greatly aids him in learning the ways of conjury, as well as his familiarity with the arcanima. His nature, however, tends towards the healing side of the spectrum, meaning the other parts are weakened for it, and not to mention that his conjury prowess is also tied to his emotional state.<br />
|-<br />
| Thaumaturgy || He has trouble trying to understand thaumaturgy, drawing from his own Aether to cast spells when he doesn't have much physical endurance in the first place is enough to knock him out if he tries anything harder than a simple ice spell. Nevertheless, he's trying hard to learn it, perhaps there could be a workaround for such a thing?<br />
|-<br />
| Nymian Arcanima || He's currently in study of the Nymian ruins in La Noscea and is coming up with very little answers save for a piece of paper with writing that is purported to be from his father and a book with almost all of its pages torn out. Not only that, but he's currently considering multiple options; find someone with a flying machine or something that could fly to check out the floating isles, take the boat over to the palace in Upper La Noscea and explore it, or pursue the supposed journal entries apparently left by his father. He eventually learned about this artform of arcanima, although he passed it on to one of his carbuncles.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:white;" size="3">●</font> [[Azami Lihzeh|Azami Harrowton]] - ''Wife'' (Deceased) - He easily made friends with this similarly shy girl, and all it took was for her to ask him and Surilian for directions that one time. She had admitted that she had a crush on him during their first meeting, and it didn't take long for William to follow suit. Eventually, they started to get to know each other, about their childhoods, about their interests, their opinions, about their tribes, basically, anything that they wish to know of each other. In the end... they became a couple and the rest, as they say, is history. Though she had been gone for a long time, a long search had found her around the Sagolii Desert... he doesn't precisely know what she's doing around there but he's more than happy to know that she's fine... and that she still loves him. Recently, out of nowhere, William had just asked her if she would marry him, to which she responded with a resounding yes. Now it's like a dream come true.<br />
<br />

Shares his love for books, which he certainly appreciates. He finds her to be a very nice person, despite what she supposedly did in her past, and will gladly call her a friend if needs be. Recently, he'd been having trouble sleeping (and eating) and stumbled across Suri and Akama down in Costa del Sol. After sharing his grievances and how he'd been having trouble sleeping with his beloved to wake up to (followed up by tears on his part), she (alongside Akama) offered him a place to stay where the Fangs are staying... though it is also partially out of concern, it seems, since he hadn't been eating right. Nevertheless, the little moment of bonding had improved William's impression of Suri... perhaps he could call her his second mother. Sounds about right.<br />

=== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">What's his story?</div> ===<br />
''This is a basic backstory and may not contain some of the more in-depth parts of his past. These may be outlined in either his journal or in the little spoiler box beneath the texts.''<br />
<br />
:'''William "Mira'a" Harrowton''' is a particularly shy, timid male Miqo'te hailing from, well, Limsa Lominsa, although he's not a native there, having been born in Gridania, located in the Shroud, under one of the Keeper of the Moon tribes under the name of Mira'a Harruten. His clan moved to La Noscea when he was around two to five years old, the reasoning for his tribe moving to the isle of Vylbrand is... cloudy.<br />
<br />
:Eventually, they integrated into society as a variety of jobs, some fishermen, some blacksmiths, others have taken to visiting the city-state itself to work there, but William stayed where he was, content, for the most part, although his curiosity for magic and the world at large was sparked by a dream he had when he was ten years old. He was wandering the forests, merely just exploring when he stumbled across an open clearing, a calming scene to be sure, as he stumbled across a field of fairies and, amongst their lot, was a Miqo'te, one who seems like one of the arcanists. He reached out to the male Miqo'te to lay a hand on him but, before he can even do that, the dream faded, and all that was left was a lingering sense of curiosity and wanderlust.<br />
<br />
:He eventually began to make trips to Limsa itself, enrolling in the Arcanist's Guild when he was of age to do so and began to study the mysteries of the Aether, Arcanima, and the lot, his open mind aiding him in his attunement to the world around him. Soon enough, he was old enough to start going out and explore what Eorzea has to offer, much to the delight of his birth-mother, who had been worried that his timid nature would make him more of a stay-at-home type and believing that his wandering can do him some good.<br />
<br />
:Now, he's an adventurer, and although he lacks in social skills and tends to be fearful, a burning sense of curiosity and his attempts at calming himself down helps keeps his fears in check.<br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===<br />
: William tends to keep his head down low unless he's looking around, which he often does when he enters a new area. He has well-kept hair and wears glasses, having lost some of his sight after standing too close to a very bright light at one point. His wardrobe usually remains consistent between suns, or tends to. Bilauds are his favourite ones to wear, but he also has a soft spot for coats, too. They generally tend to come in his favourite colours; blue, green, or shades of purple.<br />
<br />
: He's lived a rather quiet life, although hiding behind his books, and he tends to stammer when speaking. He's quite shy around strangers, and even acquaintances! He's never without something in his hands to fidget with, especially when the spotlight is on him, and eye contact is a bit of a problem for him, oftentimes looking past someone to avoid looking them in the eyes; it's not that he dislikes anyone, it's mostly because eye contact, to him, seems scary. When he warms up, though, he becomes a little bit more open, although still kind of reserved, eye contact is still a bit off but there's the rare occasion when he would happily look someone in the eye, but only if he really feels comfortable around said person.<br />
<br />
: He tends to be very honest, seemingly incapable of lying, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on situation. And, not only that, but if he really trusts someone, he'll confide in them, sharing his secrets and history rather openly.<br />
<br />
: Outside of social situations, he tends to be a rather forgetful person, absent-minded even.<br />
<br />
: And despite his quiet, timid nature, there's a rather vicious side to him, one that can be easily accessed by pushing his buttons too much or by harming those he considers to be his friends (or most women in general, thanks to his upbringing). When angered, he tends to explode, using whatever he has at his disposal to deal with the threat. However, he gives his target much prior warning before setting off, though, to give them a chance to back down, a necessity in a public place.<br />
<br />
: To summarise, he's shy, timid, absent-minded, and has a bad temper when angered. He's also kind of childish at times, but that's a double-edged sword. He's kind, friendly, and sweet, who puts the needs of the people before his own, often to his own detriment.<br />
<br />
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Quirks</div>===<br />
: William tends to have trouble with some words, often times slowly pronouncing them. It doesn't help that he's rather forgetful.<br />
: He reacts rather coyly to being called 'cute' or 'adorable', often with a small whine.<br />
: As stated above, he fidgets with things when he's nervous which is, to say, pretty much all of the time. The only times he doesn't do this is when he's pre-occupied with something already.<br />
: He can be socially awkward at times due to the lack of proper socialisation when he was a kid. He'll try his best not to be awkward, though.<br />
: He wants to be seen as an adult, despite his sometimes childish nature, hence why he tends to freak out if someone catches him playing children's games with his carbuncle or just plain old acting childish. He fears that he would be seen as nothing but a mere child. However, recently, he's starting to grow out of that fear, slowly, thanks to some help from his friends.<br />
<br />
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===<br />
: William isn't one for combat, but he knows how to protect himself in self-defense when the need arises. He has a very prodigious mind when it comes to magical prowess in general, although the arcanima is his main speciality, having studied it for years since he was a kit. He, however, lets his carbuncle, '''Emery the Emerald Carbuncle''' or '''Topery the Topaz Carbuncle''', deal with most of his threats as he focuses on casting from afar. Needless to say, he's very easy to interrupt and panic due to his skittish nature, and sending even a hint of intimidation his way is enough to give him pause.<br />
<br />
: His secondary skills spans the arts of conjury, one that he's been studying for a while now. He's shown some natural talent with using it, due in part to his familiarity with the arcanima aiding him to understand how conjury works. However, his conjury prowess is tied to his emotional state. If he's determined, there's nothing stopping him from throwing a cure one's way. If he's frightened, however, his healing becomes less strong. Essentially, in a way, positivity empowers him, while negativity, self-inflicted or otherwise, hurts him. It's a shame that he sometimes have self-doubts about his potential, due to him downplaying most, if not all, of his accomplishments.<br />
<br />
: As for more material parts of combat, William cannot wield anything heavier than a staff for a good reason... he's practically physically weak. A stiff wind can easily knock him over if given the chance. He's tried to wield an axe for the Marauder's Guild when he was in his curious phase in the past. Needless to say, although some nervous chuckles from the other recruits there were had, he's hesitant to go back there, feeling like he's too weak for anything. Though this now no longer holds true, as recent physical training had helped bulk him up just a little bit, but the effects are very immediate.<br />

!colspan="6"| '''Physical Combat'''<br />
|-<br />
| Lancer ||As a magic user, he lacks simple basic training when it comes to being what one would call a disciple of war, his lack of training in balance and footwork, as well as his thinking doesn't get him very far. However, he's taken up training as a lancer under a trained lancer named Flynt Knoltros. Those who may know him and his current lack of physical strength may proceed to send the poor violet-haired boy their condolences.<br /> <br />Strangely enough, the boy managed to work at his lack of physical strength and had become stronger because of it. Slowly, but surely, he's becoming a fairly decent lancer.<br />

!colspan="6"|'''Magical Combat'''<br />
|-<br />
| Arcanima || He has a good number of years worth of study behind him, and he's learnt the basics of being an Arcanist. However, his arcanima studies don't just stop there, and he's recently taken to branching out, being drawn to other magical studies such as conjury and thaumaturgy. While he's still pretty young, he can stand with, at least, the best of them. Recently, he's been studying ways to neutralize the lethality of the standard arcanist spells by way of just using ink with a different recipe. Whether it'll work or not is not clear as of now.<br />
|-<br />
| Conjury || There's something about this particular line of magic that clicks with him, and he doesn't know what. Its powers and philosophy reminds him of a parental figure he once had, who had since gone missing. Nevertheless, his eagerness to connect with nature greatly aids him in learning the ways of conjury, as well as his familiarity with the arcanima. His nature, however, tends towards the healing side of the spectrum, meaning the other parts are weakened for it, and not to mention that his conjury prowess is also tied to his emotional state.<br />
|-<br />
| Thaumaturgy || He has trouble trying to understand thaumaturgy, drawing from his own Aether to cast spells when he doesn't have much physical endurance in the first place is enough to knock him out if he tries anything harder than a simple ice spell. Nevertheless, he's trying hard to learn it, perhaps there could be a workaround for such a thing?<br />
|-<br />
| Nymian Arcanima || He's currently in study of the Nymian ruins in La Noscea and is coming up with very little answers save for a piece of paper with writing that is purported to be from his father and a book with almost all of its pages torn out. Not only that, but he's currently considering multiple options; find someone with a flying machine or something that could fly to check out the floating isles, take the boat over to the palace in Upper La Noscea and explore it, or pursue the supposed journal entries apparently left by his father.<br />

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:white;" size="3">●</font> [[Azami Lihzeh|Azami Harrowton]] - ''Wife'' - He easily made friends with this similarly shy girl, and all it took was for her to ask him and Surilian for directions that one time. She had admitted that she had a crush on him during their first meeting, and it didn't take long for William to follow suit. Eventually, they started to get to know each other, about their childhoods, about their interests, their opinions, about their tribes, basically, anything that they wish to know of each other. In the end... they became a couple and the rest, as they say, is history. Though she had been gone for a long time, a long search had found her around the Sagolii Desert... he doesn't precisely know what she's doing around there but he's more than happy to know that she's fine... and that she still loves him. Recently, out of nowhere, William had just asked her if she would marry him, to which she responded with a resounding yes. Now it's like a dream come true.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:pink;" size="3">♥</font> [[Surilian Blu]] - ''Friend/Possible second mother'' - Someone he had met while at the Moonfire festival. Shares his love for books, which he certainly appreciates. He finds her to be a very nice person, despite what she supposedly did in her past, and will gladly call her a friend if needs be. Recently, he'd been having trouble sleeping (and eating) and stumbled across Suri and Akama down in Costa del Sol. After sharing his grievances and how he'd been having trouble sleeping with his beloved to wake up to (followed up by tears on his part), she (alongside Akama) offered him a place to stay where the Fangs are staying... though it is also partially out of concern, it seems, since he hadn't been eating right. Nevertheless, the little moment of bonding had improved William's impression of Suri... perhaps he could call her his second mother. Sounds about right.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:white;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] - ''Friend/Tutor'' - William had known Flynt for quite some time, though he never really knew what went on. He usually sees this miqo'te with Ritsu, or Roger, or someone. Recently, he's decided to take up training as a lancer, and he's elected to allow the man to tutor him in the ways of the lancer. <s>Gods help us all.</s><br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:white;" size="3">●</font> [[Sasha Rochester]] - ''Friend'' - She's an interesting one, and a very nice lady at that. A fellow student of the arcane arts, her mastery over the geometric power of the Arcanists and the natural elemental power of Conjury is what awes him though. Nowadays, however, he's worried for her, as though something bad's out for her and he doesn't know what he should do about it.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:white;" size="3">●</font> [[Jethas Zykyri]] - ''Friend'' - Someone who appears to be a former practitioner of magic, and shares some sentiments.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Disa Ronno]] - ''Friend'' - Someone he'd met at the spooky event going on down somewhere in Thanalan. The events between them are... complicated to say the least.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:white;" size="3">●</font> [[Yune Tabrisviel]] - ''Friend'' - A similarly shy Miqo'te that he had met outside the Harbingers of Dawn's tavern one night, with a few careful steps, they made it in and they seemed to have hit off pretty well, sharing similar interests and the like. She was the first one that he had handed off a linkpearl of his to, in the event that she needs him for anything.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Elno Sulto]] - ''Friend'' - A friend of Azami's is a friend of William's, so this lalafell is certainly a friend.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Akama Kharn]] - ''Friend'' - Met a few times around Surilian, his second mother, who eventually married said person. He happens to be a rather nice person to talk to, proving to be a fairly interesting miqo'te. Is totally not the Starlight Shinobi.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Locke Fairwind]] - ''Friend'' - A fellow member of the Free Company and explorer. William met Locke while hiding out in a cabin with, at the time, his wife-to-be, Azami.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Garryson Shipkeeper]] and [[Aireiel Shipkeeper]] - ''Friend'' - A wonderful couple that he and Azami met at the Carbuncle Cafe. Garryson had proved to the newly wedded couple that he was the party planning pirate and planned their wedding reception - which was wonderful. The Shipkeeper couple's child is adorable.<br />

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Gyles Stark]] - ''Acquaintance'' - One of Suri's compatriots who seems to get quite a bit of abuse. He finds the man to be pretty funny, which is a good thing. He's uncertain about how he feels about some of the abuse Gyles gets though, good-natured ribbing or otherwise.<br />
<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[I'lyana Rhiki|I'lyana "Illy" Rhiki]] - ''Acquaintance'' - Someone he just met while walking the streets of, wait for it, Ul'dah. Seems friendly enough.<br />

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> Emery - Emerald Carbuncle - His first true friend, summoned to Eorzea when the kid was only about ten years old. This little fellow likes to run off a lot, sit on seats, steal sweets, and generally muck about, within reason. It is loyal to its master, meaning anyone that hurts him, will have to go through it. Due to how summoning spells "work", William's carbuncle is apparently male.<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> Topery - Topaz Carbuncle - When William learned more about the arcanima, he found himself capable of drawing up the formulas to summon Topery, the Topaz Carbuncle. Unlike its emerald cousin, Topery is much more reserved and serious, and is fanatic about protecting its master. That doesn't mean it's very much unlike said cousin, though, as it happens to have a sweet side to it, too.<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> Chocery - Chocobo - Attained on the 23rd sun of the Fourth Umbral Moon from Bentbranch Meadows, William was given a Gyshal Green to bring forth the new chocobo from its stable. Bursting forth with great speed, a gobbled up green, and some petting, the two seem to get along well with each other, although William's still getting used to riding a chocobo that is pre-trained to follow his own orders... of course, sometimes, Chocery likes to jump over things, something William has no control of, much to his dismay.<br />

William did not receive a chocobo licence from this GC until he returned to Gridania at 17, two weeks after he started adventuring. While his FC is under the Twin Adder's banner, it only works rather loosely with them, hence still an associate.<br />

With the help of the latter, William bucked up the courage to form the small free company. He has hopes to set up a sort of exploration guild under this banner, and presumably give aid to Eorzeans in need if possible.<br />

: To describe what William is in terms of tropes, he probably come off as a Cute Bookworm who tends to be a Shrinking Violet with a tendency to Apologise A Lot. While there may be more, these three tends to be the most obvious.<br />
: The idea of William came from listening to the soundtrack of a story-driven game called To the Moon back in around 2012. As such, his theme song, if he would have had any, would be [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qvzr0o5Ctw this theme] from the trailer of said game.<br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Sera has the general physique and looks of a Keeper of the Moon, pale complexion, wide pupils, and a somewhat mysterious air to her. Of course, there's nothing really mysterious about her, Sera's just Sera. Although, her body type is a little bit more rounded that most females of her own race, it's not very noticeable but it is there. Moving on from there, she has long blue hair with the occasional highlight of whatever color took her fancy at the time, and she's usually seen wearing glasses that hide her blue-ish (?) eyes, that is, if she remembers she has them. Her normal clothes consists of a coatee made of wind silk with a white coloring to it and generally a skirt, which makes it really impractical for what she wants to be doing, which is exploring, among other things. Finally, she has a couple of markings on her face which are typical of a Keeper like her but otherwise, she's not got much going for her appearance-wise, although her legs are scuffed and bruised sometimes.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Sera is a sweet, kindly young woman who isn't really afraid to fight with someone if she really feels like it, she tries to be cheerful, positive, and charming, always attempting to look on the bright side of things. And while she can be sweet, there are times when she can be insulting, oftentimes innocently, as she seems to have little, if any, filter in her mind. She doesn't particularly mind crowds all that much, allows her to blend in and all. She can be a little out-there, like she has her head in the clouds, and oftentimes acts as though nobody is there until someone snaps her out of it. Speaking of, she can get really concerned if she believes she seriously hurt someone, although the intensity is merely based on the situation, if she manages to severely injure someone while sparring, for instance, she'll be the first to freak out about it if she sees blood or found that she knocked them unconscious. If she has to kill someone, which isn't very often as she tends to avoid situations by freezing and fleeing, more on that later, she'll feel sad about it but she won't let that get to her.<br />
<br />
In short, Sera is sweet.</div><br />

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;"><b>Character's Thoughts:</b> <i>"Valeriah? Oh! I know her! She's the one that makes the machines glow and go all shiny and movey! She's a very laidback kind of gal, too, not a care in the world! Always fun to be with! Oh, did I forget to mention that she's currently the matriarch back in my tribe? Well, acting, anyway, they say the current one has her head in the clouds. I hope they find her soon."</i></div><br />
|-<br />
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Valeriah hails from a tribe that hosted a portion of Alzeni family and is the elder sister to Sera. They get along as well as siblings would but despite their back and forth bickerings, especially the fact that they both follow completely different philosophies, they do care for each other very much.</div><br />

I do think he enjoys my company, I even started wearing glasses because of him!"</i></div><br />

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">A little strange, Mira'a was on the cusp of offing himself until Sera came along and now just barely hangs onto life. He is currently staying with Sera's tribe and has assumed one of the top positions of it after a year.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Sera has the general physique and looks of a Keeper of the Moon, pale complexion, wide pupils, and a somewhat mysterious air to her. Of course, there's nothing really mysterious about her, Sera's just Sera. Although, her body type is a little bit more rounded that most females of her own race, it's not very noticeable but it is there. Moving on from there, she has long blue hair with the occasional highlight of whatever color took her fancy at the time, and she's usually seen wearing glasses that hide her blue-ish (?) eyes, that is, if she remembers she has them. Her normal clothes consists of a coatee made of wind silk with a white coloring to it and generally a skirt, which makes it really impractical for what she wants to be doing, which is exploring, among other things. Finally, she has a couple of markings on her face which are typical of a Keeper like her but otherwise, she's not got much going for her appearance-wise, although her legs are scuffed and bruised sometimes.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Sera is a sweet, kindly young woman who isn't really afraid to fight with someone if she really feels like it, she tries to be cheerful, positive, and charming, always attempting to look on the bright side of things. And while she can be sweet, there are times when she can be insulting, oftentimes innocently, as she seems to have little, if any, filter in her mind. She doesn't particularly mind crowds all that much, allows her to blend in and all. She can be a little out-there, like she has her head in the clouds, and oftentimes acts as though nobody is there until someone snaps her out of it. Speaking of, she can get really concerned if she believes she seriously hurt someone, although the intensity is merely based on the situation, if she manages to severely injure someone while sparring, for instance, she'll be the first to freak out about it if she sees blood or found that she knocked them unconscious. If she has to kill someone, which isn't very often as she tends to avoid situations by freezing and fleeing, more on that later, she'll feel sad about it but she won't let that get to her.<br />
<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Defunct - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-001''' and '''RDM-002''' - Testing Phase - A magitek blade that performs similar functions to Mekanism, a recently made defunct cane that was used to perform a different form of conjury. Ever since the boy had found blueprints to a few cores, presumably made up by his late father, he leased the blueprints to the magitek blades from the Garlond Ironworks before setting to work. RDM-001, as he calls the first prototype, is, as it is, a blade that operates on a mix of ceruleum and elemental crystals, capable of taking on forms of magic based on that of Conjurers and Thaumaturges. RDM-002 is the aetherotransformer that he keeps tucked underneath his many pouches, while he also uses it with Eripio, it is responsible for the well-being of RDM-001 and its functionality. RDM-001 is considered extremely dangerous to handle when the cores, aptly named Astral Core, a fire-touched lightning core, and Umbral Core, an ice-touched wind core, are active and, thus, Elliot does not like it when someone touches it without express permission. While only tested with the aether deficient (read: Elliot), the boy had theorized that it could enhance the performance of those capable of actually utilizing aether. Perhaps. That's just a theory, though. (RDM-001 model is the Ironworks Magitek Blade)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-002-01''' - Testing Phase - A shield that is based on Allagan tech, inspired by many studies of, well, said tech and made up of the Garlean Magitek that littered the boy's workshop. It essentially incorporates the aetherotransformer that he'd been using into a shield form, using a regular bronze buckler as the base. Observations show that it works in tandem with '''RDM-001''' to produce, well, magic by attempting to use the crystals that are inserted more efficiently. It does so by taking in the dispersed aether hanging in the ether, or the air in this case, which takes the form of small colored motes that litter the battlefield. The sword can fire severely unaspected aether bolts to expose the motes, allowing the shield to draw them in and create a magical effect. In another world, this would be called Element Driving, creating a shield to protect against that element, among other things. It is also used to create spell-like effects more efficiently than mere ceruleum. Although, saying that, it is still prone to malfunctioning and can only hold so much charge at any one time.<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />

:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:'''''NPC Rumors'''''<br />
:'''Common Rumors''' - Rumors that are, well, commonly heard. You are free to use them as you wish!<br />
:* ''"Elliot? That sweet thing? He really wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps, not to say that I blame him. He and his mother are very much alike."<br />
:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Defunct - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-001''' and '''RDM-002''' - Testing Phase - A magitek blade that performs similar functions to Mekanism, a recently made defunct cane that was used to perform a different form of conjury. Ever since the boy had found blueprints to a few cores, presumably made up by his late father, he leased the blueprints to the magitek blades from the Garlond Ironworks before setting to work. RDM-001, as he calls the first prototype, is, as it is, a blade that operates on a mix of ceruleum and elemental crystals, capable of taking on forms of magic based on that of Conjurers and Thaumaturges. RDM-002 is the aetherotransformer that he keeps tucked underneath his many pouches, while he also uses it with Eripio, it is responsible for the well-being of RDM-001 and its functionality. RDM-001 is considered extremely dangerous to handle when the cores, aptly named Astral Core, a fire-touched lightning core, and Umbral Core, an ice-touched wind core, are active and, thus, Elliot does not like it when someone touches it without express permission. While only tested with the aether deficient (read: Elliot), the boy had theorized that it could enhance the performance of those capable of actually utilizing aether. Perhaps. That's just a theory, though. (RDM-001 model is the Ironworks Magitek Blade)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-002-01''' - Testing Phase - A shield that is based on Allagan tech, inspired by many studies of, well, said tech and made up of the Garlean Magitek that littered the boy's workshop. It essentially incorporates the aetherotransformer that he'd been using into a shield form, using a regular bronze buckler as the base. Observations show that it works in tandem with '''RDM-001''' to produce, well, magic by attempting to use the crystals that are inserted more efficiently. It does so by taking in the dispersed aether hanging in the ether, or the air in this case, which takes the form of small colored motes that litter the battlefield. The sword can fire severely unaspected aether bolts to expose the motes, allowing the shield to draw them in and create a magical effect. In another world, this would be called Element Driving, creating a shield to protect against that element, among other things. It is also used to create spell-like effects more efficiently than mere ceruleum. Although, saying that, it is still prone to malfunctioning and can only hold so much charge at any one time.<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Taught the boy how to read and write, himself, also allegedly shown the child a few knife tricks to defend himself with should he run up into trouble. Needless to say, his training had some uses, shame he passed away during the boy's absence.</div><br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:''Sorted from most skilled to least skilled in that particular category''<br />
<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M A J O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:* ''"Elliot? That sweet thing? He really wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps, not to say that I blame him. He and his mother are very much alike."<br />
:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Defunct - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-001''' and '''RDM-002''' - Testing Phase - A magitek blade that performs similar functions to Mekanism, a recently made defunct cane that was used to perform a different form of conjury. Ever since the boy had found blueprints to a few cores, presumably made up by his late father, he leased the blueprints to the magitek blades from the Garlond Ironworks before setting to work. RDM-001, as he calls the first prototype, is, as it is, a blade that operates on a mix of ceruleum and elemental crystals, capable of taking on forms of magic based on that of Conjurers and Thaumaturges. RDM-002 is the aetherotransformer that he keeps tucked underneath his many pouches, while he also uses it with Eripio, it is responsible for the well-being of RDM-001 and its functionality. RDM-001 is considered extremely dangerous to handle when the cores, aptly named Astral Core, a fire-touched lightning core, and Umbral Core, an ice-touched wind core, are active and, thus, Elliot does not like it when someone touches it without express permission. While only tested with the aether deficient (read: Elliot), the boy had theorized that it could enhance the performance of those capable of actually utilizing aether. Perhaps. That's just a theory, though. (RDM-001 model is the Ironworks Magitek Blade)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-002-01''' - Testing Phase - A shield that is based on Allagan tech, inspired by many studies of, well, said tech and made up of the Garlean Magitek that littered the boy's workshop. It essentially incorporates the aetherotransformer that he'd been using into a shield form, using a regular bronze buckler as the base. Observations show that it works in tandem with '''RDM-001''' to produce, well, magic by attempting to use the crystals that are inserted more efficiently. It does so by taking in the dispersed aether hanging in the ether, or the air in this case, which takes the form of small colored motes that litter the battlefield. The sword can fire severely unaspected aether bolts to expose the motes, allowing the shield to draw them in and create a magical effect. In another world, this would be called Element Driving, creating a shield to protect against that element, among other things. It is also used to create spell-like effects more efficiently than mere ceruleum. Although, saying that, it is still prone to malfunctioning and can only hold so much charge at any one time.<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M A J O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Defunct - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-001''' and '''RDM-002''' - Testing Phase - A magitek blade that performs similar functions to Mekanism, a recently made defunct cane that was used to perform a different form of conjury. Ever since the boy had found blueprints to a few cores, presumably made up by his late father, he leased the blueprints to the magitek blades from the Garlond Ironworks before setting to work. RDM-001, as he calls the first prototype, is, as it is, a blade that operates on a mix of ceruleum and elemental crystals, capable of taking on forms of magic based on that of Conjurers and Thaumaturges. RDM-002 is the aetherotransformer that he keeps tucked underneath his many pouches, while he also uses it with Eripio, it is responsible for the well-being of RDM-001 and its functionality. RDM-001 is considered extremely dangerous to handle when the cores, aptly named Astral Core, a fire-touched lightning core, and Umbral Core, an ice-touched wind core, are active and, thus, Elliot does not like it when someone touches it without express permission. While only tested with the aether deficient (read: Elliot), the boy had theorized that it could enhance the performance of those capable of actually utilizing aether. Perhaps. That's just a theory, though. (RDM-001 model is the Ironworks Magitek Blade)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-002-01''' - Testing Phase - A shield that is based on Allagan tech, inspired by many studies of, well, said tech and made up of the Garlean Magitek that littered the boy's workshop. It essentially incorporates the aetherotransformer that he'd been using into a shield form, using a regular bronze buckler as the base. Observations show that it works in tandem with '''RDM-001''' to produce, well, magic by attempting to use the crystals that are inserted more efficiently. It does so by taking in the dispersed aether hanging in the ether, or the air in this case, which takes the form of small colored motes that litter the battlefield. The sword can fire severely unaspected aether bolts to expose the motes, allowing the shield to draw them in and create a magical effect. In another world, this would be called Element Driving, creating a shield to protect against that element, among other things. It is also used to create spell-like effects more efficiently than mere ceruleum. Although, saying that, it is still prone to malfunctioning and can only hold so much charge at any one time.<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:'''''NPC Rumors'''''<br />
:'''Common Rumors''' - Rumors that are, well, commonly heard. You are free to use them as you wish!<br />
:* ''"Elliot? That sweet thing? He really wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps, not to say that I blame him. He and his mother are very much alike."<br />
:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />

::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Defunct - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-001''' and '''RDM-002''' - Testing Phase - A magitek blade that performs similar functions to Mekanism, a recently made defunct cane that was used to perform a different form of conjury. Ever since the boy had found blueprints to a few cores, presumably made up by his late father, he leased the blueprints to the magitek blades from the Garlond Ironworks before setting to work. RDM-001, as he calls the first prototype, is, as it is, a blade that operates on a mix of ceruleum and elemental crystals, capable of taking on forms of magic based on that of Conjurers and Thaumaturges. RDM-002 is the aetherotransformer that he keeps tucked underneath his many pouches, while he also uses it with Eripio, it is responsible for the well-being of RDM-001 and its functionality. RDM-001 is considered extremely dangerous to handle when the cores, aptly named Astral Core, a fire-touched lightning core, and Umbral Core, an ice-touched wind core, are active and, thus, Elliot does not like it when someone touches it without express permission. While only tested with the aether deficient (read: Elliot), the boy had theorized that it could enhance the performance of those capable of actually utilizing aether. Perhaps. That's just a theory, though. (RDM-001 model is the Ironworks Magitek Blade)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-002-01''' - Testing Phase - A shield that is based on Allagan tech, inspired by many studies of, well, said tech and made up of the Garlean Magitek that littered the boy's workshop. It essentially incorporates the aetherotransformer that he'd been using into a shield form, using a regular bronze buckler as the base. Observations show that it works in tandem with '''RDM-001''' to produce, well, magic by attempting to use the crystals that are inserted more efficiently. It does so by taking in the dispersed aether hanging in the ether, or the air in this case, which takes the form of small colored motes that litter the battlefield. The sword can fire severely unaspected aether bolts to expose the motes, allowing the shield to draw them in and create a magical effect. In another world, this would be called Element Driving, creating a shield to protect against that element, among other things. It is also used to create spell-like effects more efficiently than mere ceruleum. Although, saying that, it is still prone to malfunctioning and can only hold so much charge at any one time.<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

On the first day, they kicked it off quite well, to say the least, becoming fast friends alongside a fellow Hyur. Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person. It wasn't until the third day when Kaede had managed to revert back to her old self that Elliot got to witness her true form.</div><br />

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking. As a result, results about the boy's opinion of the thief are inconclusive and can tilt one way or the other when the events finally unfold.</div><br />

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M A J O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:* ''"Elliot? That sweet thing? He really wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps, not to say that I blame him. He and his mother are very much alike."<br />
:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />
::* VIT: 2<br />
::* INT: 6<br />
::* MND: 6<br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Kaede is a fairly young apothecary owner and healer, showing great prowess in her skilled use of magic and having been granted a White Mage soulstone as a result, though at great cost to her own health at times. An ex-courtesan and companion, she was born in Gridania proper to a baker and a blacksmith, the latter hailing from Doma, moved to Ul'dah's Pearl Lane to live with her aunt at the age of 12 after her parents passed away in the Calamity that shook Eorzea. Her aunt died a year after and by this time Kaede was very well-versed in thieving, being quick on her feet and having a quick wit to get around. Shortly after her aunts passing, Kaede was cornered by a gang of men after stealing their coinpurses and was saved by a man named Victor, who offered her a job. Unbeknownst to her, this was to be the start of her companionship days, working in the Brume and would remain that way till she was 20. Begrudgingly Victor decided to educate her after discovering she had a natural affinity for flora, allowing her to learn how to read and partake in alchemy. It was here that it was discovered she was incredibly intelligent and quick to learn, and Victor felt it best to stifle a large portion of education bar what was necessary for her to become a master of poisons and assassinate others for him, as well as learning their secrets. She finally left his employment, so to speak, after finding out that he had started to deal in selling children and murdering his most generous customer, leading Victor to order an attempt on her life and dump her body in the Sagolii Desert, where she awoke with no memories of who she was or any of her past.</div></div><br />

:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Kaede has severe amnesia. She can't remember a lot, and what she can is traumatic. Important missing memories are extended to knowledge of an older brother.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Notable skills include - Dancing, knowledge of poisons and how to counteract them, fluency in several languages (Although some may require triggering to remember), quick to pick up new skills, prowess in several different forms of magick with a main focus on healing magicks.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Kaede had been deliberately kept unable to fight past the use of a dagger and poisons and being quick of feet until after meeting her two favourite companions, who made her realise she should probably learn to fight. As a result, she has taken up learning how to fight with several weapons and takes one stance with no weapons at all, relying on her flexibility and dancing skill to aid her kicks and punches.''</div></div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">A mixture of Gridanian and Doman has led way for some unusual yet stunning features on this young lady. Often fetishised for her looks in the past, she is described as being exceptionally beautiful, her features delicate and only marred by her usual uncaring attitude or scowl - yet even this remains attractive. She often relies on her features to get what she wants - as despite barely knowing what she looks like having glanced in a reflective surface a handful of times since the attempt on her life, she is aware that both men and women can't help but be drawn in by her looks. <br />
<br />
She is exactly 5 fulms in height, and incredibly slim. Despite her smallness, she has been lucky enough to have an hourglass figure. She has full lips with no discernable cupids bow, a small nose and large, viridian coloured almond shaped eyes, framed with thick lashes, and she often goes without makeup. A beauty mark is located just underneath her left eye. It is probable she takes more after her mother than her father in colouring, but her other features give her Doman side away, including her dark hair.</div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Aspects That Stand Out: </div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Her hair is more often than not, waist-length and left loose, though on rare occasions she will style and decorate it to catch someones eye. If she does, she is normally up to something.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''She now permanently has a scar on the right side of her face, just beneath her eye - a large and noticeable gouge that she is hoping will fade with time, though she knows it will not.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Other rarely seen physical traits include a large jagged scar curving along her hip as a result of the attempt on her life, with a cluster of freckles just beneath it.''</div></div><br />

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Kaede is seemingly rude, stuck up, and at first glance, uninterested in everyone around her unless it suits her. However this is just a protective shell, and once you get to know her, one can find that she's very sweet and loyal to a fault. She is a young woman who will go out of her way to ensure others are not hurt and would do anything for her friends, even if it means sacrificing herself in their place, something she will do without ever breathing a word to anyone. Though she can often come across as snarky to people she doesn't know, she soon warms up and she'll even defend those she dislikes if she believes they're being done wrong by. At her core, all Kaede wants is to be happy and settle down. She has a big heart and carries affection for a lot of people even if she'll never say so, and will vehemently deny it if asked unless one gets to speak to her one on one. It seems the only exceptions to this rule are the two companions who finish her trio.<br />
<br />
As a result of her years as a companion, one of Kae's worst habits is flirting. She will go out of her way to flirt with anyone if she believes she can get something out of them, whether it's drinks or information. She enjoys making people smile, even if her methods of doing so are questionable, and sees nothing wrong with complimenting anyones looks as long as it makes them happy. She is not above fluttering her eyelashes with anyone to get her own way, and is more than aware of her sexuality and how to use it. This can lead to her being conflicted overall when all she wants to do is shut the world out and hide behind her protective layer. She is also prone to bouts of depression and great sadness, and will reflect this onto others often.</div><br />

|-<br />
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Kaede and Kohl met at the same time, roughly, that she met Elliot. After seeing her go gooey-eyed in the presence of a puppy, Kohl scarpered off to find his own pet, a red panda with an attitude, and brought it back to get her attention. From that point onward Kohl and Kaede have been attached at the hip, and one could say it was love at first sight, despite their constant arguments. Weeks were spent where he would taunt and tease her, only for her to get upset and him to feel bad, unable to admit his feelings until one night he finally kissed her (rumour has it she swoons if you bring it up) and they were unable to leave one anothers side. After various events, arguments and tragedies Kohl proposed to Kaede to which she happily accepted. Though it seems the pair are quite volatile, they are almost undeniably in love with one another and their arguments never last long. Both have almost died for the other and would gladly give up their life to let the other live, and their love shows no signs of slowing or stopping. After a recent event ending in Victor's death, Kaede seems to rely on Kohl more than ever before, and is proud to call herself his wife-to-be.</div><br />

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Kaede met Elliot in the Quicksand after quite literally walking straight into him. Feeling incredibly guilty, Kaede offered Elliot a drink and was quickly distracted by a wolf pup, and then Kohl. Still, Kaede is not seen without either Elliot or Kohl, or most of the time, both. Around Elliot she is less volatile and more delicate, often berating her husband-to-be for being mean to Elliot. She feels very protective over the younger Hyur, and no doubt holds some form affection for him.</div><br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Kaede is a fairly young apothecary owner and healer, showing great prowess in her skilled use of magic and having been granted a White Mage soulstone as a result, though at great cost to her own health at times. An ex-courtesan and companion, she was born in Gridania proper to a baker and a blacksmith, the latter hailing from Doma, moved to Ul'dah's Pearl Lane to live with her aunt at the age of 12 after her parents passed away in the Calamity that shook Eorzea. Her aunt died a year after and by this time Kaede was very well-versed in thieving, being quick on her feet and having a quick wit to get around. Shortly after her aunts passing, Kaede was cornered by a gang of men after stealing their coinpurses and was saved by a man named Victor, who offered her a job. Unbeknownst to her, this was to be the start of her companionship days, working in the Brume and would remain that way till she was 20. Begrudgingly Victor decided to educate her after discovering she had a natural affinity for flora, allowing her to learn how to read and partake in alchemy. It was here that it was discovered she was incredibly intelligent and quick to learn, and Victor felt it best to stifle a large portion of education bar what was necessary for her to become a master of poisons and assassinate others for him, as well as learning their secrets. She finally left his employment, so to speak, after finding out that he had started to deal in selling children and murdering his most generous customer, leading Victor to order an attempt on her life and dump her body in the Sagolii Desert, where she awoke with no memories of who she was or any of her past.</div></div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Important details: </div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Kaede has severe amnesia. She can't remember a lot, and what she can is traumatic. Important missing memories are extended to knowledge of an older brother.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Notable skills include - Dancing, knowledge of poisons and how to counteract them, fluency in several languages (Although some may require triggering to remember), quick to pick up new skills, prowess in several different forms of magick with a main focus on healing magicks.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Kaede had been deliberately kept unable to fight past the use of a dagger and poisons and being quick of feet until after meeting her two favourite companions, who made her realise she should probably learn to fight. As a result, she has taken up learning how to fight with several weapons and takes one stance with no weapons at all, relying on her flexibility and dancing skill to aid her kicks and punches.''</div></div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">A mixture of Gridanian and Doman has led way for some unusual yet stunning features on this young lady. Often fetishised for her looks in the past, she is described as being exceptionally beautiful, her features delicate and only marred by her usual uncaring attitude or scowl - yet even this remains attractive. She often relies on her features to get what she wants - as despite barely knowing what she looks like having glanced in a reflective surface a handful of times since the attempt on her life, she is aware that both men and women can't help but be drawn in by her looks. <br />
<br />
She is exactly 5 fulms in height, and incredibly slim. Despite her smallness, she has been lucky enough to have an hourglass figure. She has full lips with no discernable cupids bow, a small nose and large, viridian coloured almond shaped eyes, framed with thick lashes, and she often goes without makeup. A beauty mark is located just underneath her left eye. It is probable she takes more after her mother than her father in colouring, but her other features give her Doman side away, including her dark hair.</div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Aspects That Stand Out: </div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Her hair is more often than not, waist-length and left loose, though on rare occasions she will style and decorate it to catch someones eye. If she does, she is normally up to something.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''She now permanently has a scar on the right side of her face, just beneath her eye - a large and noticeable gouge that she is hoping will fade with time, though she knows it will not.''</div></div><br />
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ ''Other rarely seen physical traits include a large jagged scar curving along her hip as a result of the attempt on her life, with a cluster of freckles just beneath it.''</div></div><br />

<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Kaede is seemingly rude, stuck up, and at first glance, uninterested in everyone around her unless it suits her. However this is just a protective shell, and once you get to know her, one can find that she's very sweet and loyal to a fault. She is a young woman who will go out of her way to ensure others are not hurt and would do anything for her friends, even if it means sacrificing herself in their place, something she will do without ever breathing a word to anyone. Though she can often come across as snarky to people she doesn't know, she soon warms up and she'll even defend those she dislikes if she believes they're being done wrong by. At her core, all Kaede wants is to be happy and settle down. She has a big heart and carries affection for a lot of people even if she'll never say so, and will vehemently deny it if asked unless one gets to speak to her one on one. It seems the only exceptions to this rule are the two companions who finish her trio.<br />
<br />
As a result of her years as a companion, one of Kae's worst habits is flirting. She will go out of her way to flirt with anyone if she believes she can get something out of them, whether it's drinks or information. She enjoys making people smile, even if her methods of doing so are questionable, and sees nothing wrong with complimenting anyones looks as long as it makes them happy. She is not above fluttering her eyelashes with anyone to get her own way, and is more than aware of her sexuality and how to use it. This can lead to her being conflicted overall when all she wants to do is shut the world out and hide behind her protective layer. She is also prone to bouts of depression and great sadness, and will reflect this onto others often.</div><br />

|-<br />
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Kaede and Kohl met at the same time, roughly, that she met Elliot. After seeing her go gooey-eyed in the presence of a puppy, Kohl scarpered off to find his own pet, a red panda with an attitude, and brought it back to get her attention. From that point onward Kohl and Kaede have been attached at the hip, and one could say it was love at first sight, despite their constant arguments. Weeks were spent where he would taunt and tease her, only for her to get upset and him to feel bad, unable to admit his feelings until one night he finally kissed her (rumour has it she swoons if you bring it up) and they were unable to leave one anothers side. After various events, arguments and tragedies Kohl proposed to Kaede to which she happily accepted. Though it seems the pair are quite volatile, they are almost undeniably in love with one another and their arguments never last long. Both have almost died for the other and would gladly give up their life to let the other live, and their love shows no signs of slowing or stopping. After a recent event ending in Victor's death, Kaede seems to rely on Kohl more than ever before, and is proud to call herself his wife-to-be.</div><br />

|-<br />
| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Kaede met Elliot in the Quicksand after quite literally walking straight into him. Feeling incredibly guilty, Kaede offered Elliot a drink and was quickly distracted by a wolf pup, and then Kohl. Still, Kaede is not seen without either Elliot or Kohl, or most of the time, both. Around Elliot she is less volatile and more delicate, often berating her husband-to-be for being mean to Elliot. She feels very protective over the younger Hyur, and no doubt holds some form affection for him.</div><br />

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:14px;">Kaede clearly has no idea where she stands on Emreg, yet, though an encounter in her Apothecary left her appreciating him more than one would think. He doesn't seem particularly fond of her magic, and she doesn't seem fond of his womanising ways, but when left alone the two speak quite in depth and are less vicious to one another. Maybe he's not so bad after all?</div><br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Defunct - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-001''' and '''RDM-002''' - Testing Phase - A magitek blade that performs similar functions to Mekanism, a recently made defunct cane that was used to perform a different form of conjury. Ever since the boy had found blueprints to a few cores, presumably made up by his late father, he leased the blueprints to the magitek blades from the Garlond Ironworks before setting to work. RDM-001, as he calls the first prototype, is, as it is, a blade that operates on a mix of ceruleum and elemental crystals, capable of taking on forms of magic based on that of Conjurers and Thaumaturges. RDM-002 is the aetherotransformer that he keeps tucked underneath his many pouches, while he also uses it with Eripio, it is responsible for the well-being of RDM-001 and its functionality. RDM-001 is considered extremely dangerous to handle when the cores, aptly named Astral Core, a fire-touched lightning core, and Umbral Core, an ice-touched wind core, are active and, thus, Elliot does not like it when someone touches it without express permission. While only tested with the aether deficient (read: Elliot), the boy had theorized that it could enhance the performance of those capable of actually utilizing aether. Perhaps. That's just a theory, though. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Blade)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Taught the boy how to read and write, himself, also allegedly shown the child a few knife tricks to defend himself with should he run up into trouble. Needless to say, his training had some uses, shame he passed away during the boy's absence.</div><br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

:* '''The Wandering Tonberry''' - Associate<br />
</div><br />
= Skills =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:''Sorted from most skilled to least skilled in that particular category''<br />
<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M A J O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />
<br />
<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:'''''NPC Rumors'''''<br />
:'''Common Rumors''' - Rumors that are, well, commonly heard. You are free to use them as you wish!<br />
:* ''"Elliot? That sweet thing? He really wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps, not to say that I blame him. He and his mother are very much alike."<br />
:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />
::* VIT: 2<br />
::* INT: 6<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />

<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Defunct - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''RDM-001''' and '''RDM-002''' - Testing Phase - A magitek blade that performs similar functions to Mekanism, a recently made defunct cane that was used to perform a different form of conjury. Ever since the boy had found blueprints to a few cores, presumably made up by his late father, he leased the blueprints to the magitek blades from the Garlond Ironworks before setting to work. RDM-001, as he calls the first prototype, is, as it is, a blade that operates on a mix of ceruleum and elemental crystals, capable of taking on forms of magic based on that of Conjurers and Thaumaturges. RDM-002 is the aetherotransformer that he keeps tucked underneath his many pouches, while he also uses it with Eripio, it is responsible for the well-being of RDM-001 and its functionality. RDM-001 is considered extremely dangerous to handle when the cores, aptly named Astral Core, a fire-touched lightning core, and Umbral Core, an ice-touched wind core, are active and, thus, Elliot does not like it when someone touches it without express permission. While only tested with the aether deficient (read: Elliot), the boy had theorized that it could enhance the performance of those capable of actually utilizing aether. Perhaps. That's just a theory, though. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Blade)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - What his magitek staff was capable of before he had dismantled it for parts, the parts of which have been incorporated into his blade.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayingWithFire Playing With Fire] - Ever since he made his new sword, this is the default mode of attacking for him alongside wind, earth, and, occasionally, water.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever] - Has a scar over his left eye that he has taken to covering over with his hair. Seemingly has connections with his past as he often is found touching it when attempting to remember.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea.

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:''This is the lore for this particular OC, things can and will change as time goes on. Everything in the past has been spoilered to retain space.''<br />
<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M A J O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />
</div><br />
= Rumors =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:'''''NPC Rumors'''''<br />
:'''Common Rumors''' - Rumors that are, well, commonly heard. You are free to use them as you wish!<br />
:* ''"Elliot? That sweet thing? He really wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps, not to say that I blame him. He and his mother are very much alike."<br />
:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
:*'''I Have No Voice and I Must Scream''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has been looking for a way to cure his muteness, for a lack of a better term, and has made very little progress as to why he's gone mute. One person figured that he was cursed by way of Black Magic, which isn't too far out there to him.<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

On the first day, they kicked it off quite well, to say the least, becoming fast friends alongside a fellow Hyur. Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person. It wasn't until the third day when Kaede had managed to revert back to her old self that Elliot got to witness her true form.</div><br />

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

:''Sorted from most skilled to least skilled in that particular category''<br />
<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M A J O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />
<br />
<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R - S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest. One day, he may learn to use aether again, silent or no.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident. He did manage to pick up a number of skills as seen both above and below because of his previous career... and the troupe's nature.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Swordplay''' - This ranks lower than knifeplay simply because while Elliot knows how to handle a shortsword, the only 'combat' training he ever had was for when he needed to use it for a play. His fighting form when using swords is reminiscent of that of fencing.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:* ''"Elliot? That sweet thing? He really wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps, not to say that I blame him. He and his mother are very much alike."<br />
:* ''"He's a rather decent hand at engineering if I do say so myself. My only concern is that he can be a bit eccentric sometimes with his designs."<br />
:* ''"Elliot... a persistent fellow. Once he puts his mind to something, he never lets go until he achieves his task. Like mother, like son."''<br />
:'''Uncommon Rumors''' - Heard much less than the aptly named common rumors. You may use them sparingly, or you could just ask!<br />
:* ''"The blue-haired boy? Oh, ye mean Lapis, aye? Used ta come down ta Pearl Lane and distribute some of his gil to the poor and destitute, he did. Used ta be accompanied by a miqo'te lass that was the same age as him, Lazuli she called herself. Now, where's me gil?"''<br />
:* ''"Heard he was searching for information on his parents, looking for what had happened in his absence. They're dead, there's nothing for him to worry about, but he seems persistent as though they didn't just die off of natural causes."''<br />
:'''Rare Rumors''' - These ones are hard to come by, if you want to use them, I highly suggest you get in touch first.<br />
:* ''"He's having trouble remembering his past. From what I can discern, he might be doing it deliberately but I feel that there's something else that's contributing to this too."''<br />
:* ''"I hear he brings in shipments of Ceruleum back to his workshop as well as boxes of crystals. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he was summoning some kind of primal!"''<br />
:* ''"The rich folk of Ul'dah tend to be wary around him, I hear. They speak of a certain blue-haired child that once stole from their coffers. Serves them right, but I worry for the kid, what if he messes with the wrong person, again?"''<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that, well, he's basically incapable of manipulating aether, normally, the cause of this is uncertain but it may or may not be connected to his first problem. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Taught the boy how to read and write, himself, also allegedly shown the child a few knife tricks to defend himself with should he run up into trouble.

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

:* '''Reclaimed Fortune''' - Member - A Free Company of <s>Treasure Hunters</s> Property Reclamation Professionals.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />
::* VIT: 2<br />
::* INT: 6<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />
</div></div><br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />

<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

On the first day, they kicked it off quite well, to say the least, becoming fast friends alongside a fellow Hyur. Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking. As a result, results about the boy's opinion of the thief are inconclusive and can tilt one way or the other when the events finally unfold.</div><br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />
<sup>1</sup><small>This may or may not have happened during his time in Reclaimed Fortune.</small><br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />
::* VIT: 2<br />
::* INT: 6<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />
</div></div><br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />

:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />

= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />

::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:''This is the lore for this particular OC, things can and will change as time goes on. Everything in the past has been spoilered to retain space.''<br />
<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

On the first day, they kicked it off quite well, to say the least, becoming fast friends alongside a fellow Hyur. Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />
<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />

: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />
<br />
::In the meantime, though, Elliot's found new friends, Kaede Nolan, Kohl Eidyr, and plenty more besides, the former of which he would consider himself best friends with, whereas the latter (Kohl) is whom he thinks is a complete idiot but he likes the pair nonetheless. He slowly began to try and remember his past, the past of which he had forgotten after the moment that nearly took his own life, and took the lives of his old family, but the efforts are slow, however, thanks to Kaede, her potion was able to at least help kickstart his journey towards remembrance, even though, during the moment he drunk it, he had complete clarity and he didn't like what he had seen. There must've been something that his mind is deliberately keeping down in order to function.<br /><br />
::On top of that, attempts to recover his voice has been mostly unsuccessful, met with resistance by a searing and burning pain in his throat that would spread throughout his body. A Sharlayan Scholar by the name of Leon Valerion stated that he may have fallen prey to a curse by someone using Black Magic, there may have been some truth in those words, but despite the man's best efforts to cure him of his mutism, the boy remained mute.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - Broken - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Stories in-progrees) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

On the first day, they kicked it off quite well, to say the least, becoming fast friends alongside a fellow Hyur. Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />
<br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ApologisesALot Apologises a Lot] - And how. Elliot apologises very often if he feels like he slighted someone in the slightest.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlowYouAway Blow You Away]/[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DishingOutDirt Dishing Out Dirt] - His preferred method of spellcasting... when his magitek staff works properly that is.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Determinator Determinator] - '''Downplayed''' - Elliot is an incredibly determined individual when it comes to the defense of his friends but he does know when to hold back on doing so... sometimes. Sometimes he shoots an armored beast of a Roegadyn in the leg out of spite.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranquilFury Tranquil Fury] - Can have episodes of this. While it hasn't intimidated anyone yet, it's usually a sign that he's incredibly determined to end whatever conflict forced him into this mode in the first place.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />
<center>Somewhere.</center><br />

<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Hooks and Stories in-progress) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

On the first day, they kicked it off quite well, to say the least, becoming fast friends alongside a fellow Hyur. Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:''This is the lore for this particular OC, things can and will change as time goes on. Everything in the past has been spoilered to retain space.''<br />
<spoiler>:<big><big><big>I Wanna Be Your Canary - Before Calamity</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot never had much of a family, he was born to a young couple who were living within the Twelveswood, the woman a conjurer, the man an ex-performer for a travelling troupe that will be expanded upon at a later moment. He was an only child and, as such, lived a life of solitude within the wood's arboreal walls although he did have friends in Gridania, so it wasn't an entirely lonely existence with his parents. In fact, he had a rather decent life, having been taught to read and write by his parents and more besides, it wouldn't take many years, however, before a spot of trouble befalls the family.<br />
<br /><br />
::They were running low on gil and despite doing odd jobs here and there, they weren't able to scrounge up enough to maintain themselves, and therein, an idea formed in the head of the father known only as Sal Gardiner. He would attempt to find his old troupe that he had retired from many many moons ago and have them offer a job of sorts to their only child. However, the mother disagreed with this notion, finding it to be ridiculous to have the son follow in the father's footsteps after an event that had happened moons ago that forced the man's retirement. An argument broke out between the two but eventually, with no other real options, Elliot was to join the troupe.<br />
<br /><br />
::The name of the troupe? The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers, often shortened to Opal Theatre, they are a travelling troupe that, as the name suggests, provide theatrical entertainment. They're usually hired by rich folk to entertain, most of the time being in Thanalan, but they sometimes offer a show to the poor folk that are unable to see their shows, in fact, they do encourage the poor folk to do what they can to see their plays, much to the dismay of law enforcement as this involves sneaking in or breaking into a theater and so on. There is another side to the troupe that both parents are very much aware of, they steal things. However, unlike most thieves and pirates, they stole from only the richest of folk (with a few, certain exceptions of a manly manner) right from under their noses. If there was a rare jewel to be found, they would steal it. Maiden looking for an excuse to escape their fathers? Sure, they'll do it. But they do have morals and oftentimes when they're hired by the more shady folk, they would go along with it to a degree. Need someone assassinated? Okay, they'll 'kill' said person somehow but, hmm, that's strange, is that the Brass Blades at your door? Either way, they are said to be noble thieves amongst the poor and destitute, in fact, they often bring in orphans or those in desperate need of a new life on board to raise as their own.<br />
<br /><br />
::Anyway, it just so happens that on the day that the father decided to find the troupe, they were paying the Twelveswood a visit. A parley of words were exchanged between the boy's father and the leader of the troupe and the boy was brought on board with the travelling troupe. At first, he wasn't fairly confident in himself, his self esteem heavily damaged by his parent's situation, he would often shrink away to hide amongst the caravans and would often ask to be cast in less limelight hogging roles, preferring the backstage more than the front. In an effort to raise his self-confidence, it was decided that the child needed someone of his own age to be with and, it just so happens, they had recently picked up a stray Moonkeeper Miqo'te girl at the time who was, if not the same, of similar age to him.<br />
<br /><br />
::Elliot was introduced to magitek during the caravan’s visit to a Garlean Castrum to provide entertainment for the Garlean troops stationed there. He was assigned, alongside three others, the role to sneak in and steal the blueprints to their secret weapon to sell off to the Alliance for money. Long story short, it nearly failed and Elliot and his friends were unable to retrieve the blueprints for the secret weapon that had been locked oh so tightly and kept under close guard by magitek vanguards. Of course, Elliot does manage to find a small compendium of magitek machinery ranging from making everyday tasks that little bit easier to devices that can cause destruction, to a degree, not as strong as a thaumaturge or a powerful marauder or even a conjurer wielding the power of stone but it’s still something.<br />
<br /><br />
::Naturally, the gang of thieves decide to use it to improve their theatre game after Elliot tinkers around with spare parts they’d find lying around and finding that they can use it for special effects to make their performances that much better. And being able to draw more attention to their performances will allow them to let their hidden front go through undetected. It’s perfect.<br />
<br /><br />
::And it was perfect. Their heightened performances began to surge them in popularity to the point where they were doing more legitimate works than they did stealing from the rich. Of course, they only get paid meagre amounts, so they did have to paw some goods from the rich folks of Ul’Dah while they weren’t looking. It’s worth to note that those acting as thieves for the job are masked so as to conceal their identities and this gave the Brass Blades a headache as they had to deal with royals and the wealthy complaining to them day in and day out about missing and stolen goods. One day, though… their troupe stole from the wrong person and what happened next isn’t exactly pretty.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Breaking Boundaries - During Calamity to A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Well, the calamity really hit people pretty hard, our travelling troupe also was a victim of such a calamity, losing a caravan, a few chocobos, and their handlers to a seemingly random meteor that was sent flying from the Fields of Carteneau. This really set the group back severely as getting a hold of transportation was near difficult with their new-found fame, which eventually dwindled as the years went by. Elliot, at the time, was still studying the magitek with some of the engineers in the troupe and attempting to find newer and better ways to improve their performances, both on stage and in the shadows. It doesn't help that, in recent times, security has been ramped up and the gil hoard that they once had would slowly dwindle overtime despite everyone's best efforts. Nothing was getting done and the troupe decided to have one last hurrah before disbanding, hosting a spectacle of the ages, as they advertised, inviting any and all who would listen.<br />
<br /><br />
::And, on top of this, there was one last job that, conveniently, came up around that time from an anonymous person. There was supposedly a caravan containing rare and valuable goods making its way through Thanalan and the employer asked for a specific set of thieves to raid it and bring it to a remote part of Thanalan, the Sagolii Desert. Elliot, the aforementioned Miqo'te girl, the troupe's leader, and a Roegadyn were amongst the ones selected. With only days left to prepare, the leader enacted an acting leader to take his place while he and the others go out to raid the caravan while the play is ongoing.<br />
<br /><br />
::The day eventually arrives, a theatre within Ul'Dah was rented out for the formerly travelling troupe's last hurrah and they've managed to gather a rather decently sized crowd made up of many different monetary classes; the rich, the poor, the middle, all were here to send off the troupe. Meanwhile, when the night fell, the play was a foot, both on stage and in the shadows. The caravan raid went off without a hitch, in fact, one could say that it went a little too well, the chocobo leading the caravan was seemingly unafraid of the approaching rogues and the merchant peddling these rare wares was all too easily willing to give up his goods in exchange for his freedom. There were no guards or anything, it was way too easy and yet, everyone seems to not notice this, except for, well, Elliot who recognizes the trope in play and attempted to tell the others to exercise caution as they made their way to Sagolii Desert to meet with their employer to obtain their reward.<br />
<br /><br />
::And that's when everything began to fall apart, suddenly, the theatre went up in blazes thanks to a faulty piece of tech, injuring many people, especially audience members, and, in the desert, well, a rather large group of shady folk surrounded the light party and, as it turns out, in a sad twist of fate, the employer happened to be none other than the acting leader, the very man that they stole from who had quite a bit of underground connections. As it turns out, they've been tracking the group for quite some time now, many, many moons at that, and now that they're being disbanded, what better way to send them off than to send their best and brightest thieves back into the aether? As for the others, well, the blades are going to be involved and, well, they're going to take the blame for committing arson.<br />
<br /><br />
::A fight breaks out, the enraged leader conjuring up a storm of stones and water while the others fend off the would-be assassins, what's more is that some of the folk they were fighting looked quite a bit like those from the troupe, even those had been with them for years. How amusing it must be to see the troupe fight amongst themselves at their final hour. Swords were swung, bullets were shot, daggers were slashed, spells of all kinds were tossed to and fro. The outcome was never truly clear but, according to some eyewitnesses who had happened to find the ensuing battle, there was a huge aetherial explosion and then, silence. Those who arrived after the explosion found a scene of many collapsed bodies, the number of casualties are unclear but it was clear that Elliot was among the survivors, although out cold, his weapon blown to bits and pieces.<br />
<br /><br />
::After that day, The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers were found out to be nothing more than mere thieves, their reputation tarnished amongst the rich and wealthy, many members were taken into custody and others still had fled to parts unknown and eventually, their shining light shines no more, disappearing into the annals of history.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Flames Burn Immortal - A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot was eventually able to recover from the ordeal, although it had costed him severely. The exposure to a lot of fire-based aether had rendered his voice useless and his face received a scarring after pieces of his gun scratched at his face after the explosive flare that had happened that day. On top of that, he had found himself unable to use aether in a magical way, although it was said that the exposure to aether, while it may have played a part in it, isn't the true cause or, at least, some conjurers believe that to be the case anyway. During the time with the troupe, his parents were able to live out their lives peacefully, although they eventually passed away around the same time the boy was assaulted, records say. This left the boy homeless and without anyone to go back to. The troupe was disgraced and disbanded and he was trapped in Ul'dah for the time being due to his wounds.<br /><br />
::While the boy was first suspected to be a part of the troupe of thieves, he, and eventually, the troupe itself, was eventually let go from custody by a mysterious benefactor and pardoned under the pretence that he perform what amounted to service to the community under the banner of the Immortal Flames's Free Brigade. Essentially, he was to become an adventurer. Payment came in the form of extremely basic lodgings and a small amount of gil. Eventually, he would come to find himself under a new banner, Reclaimed Fortune, a free company run by an Au Ra woman named Odtsetseg Gan. Things eventually began to look up for the boy.<br />
</spoiler><br />
<br /><br />
<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />

= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence.

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:''This is the lore for this particular OC, things can and will change as time goes on. Everything in the past has been spoilered to retain space.''<br />
<spoiler>:<big><big><big>I Wanna Be Your Canary - Before Calamity</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot never had much of a family, he was born to a young couple who were living within the Twelveswood, the woman a conjurer, the man an ex-performer for a travelling troupe that will be expanded upon at a later moment. He was an only child and, as such, lived a life of solitude within the wood's arboreal walls although he did have friends in Gridania, so it wasn't an entirely lonely existence with his parents. In fact, he had a rather decent life, having been taught to read and write by his parents and more besides, it wouldn't take many years, however, before a spot of trouble befalls the family.<br />
<br /><br />
::They were running low on gil and despite doing odd jobs here and there, they weren't able to scrounge up enough to maintain themselves, and therein, an idea formed in the head of the father known only as Sal Gardiner. He would attempt to find his old troupe that he had retired from many many moons ago and have them offer a job of sorts to their only child. However, the mother disagreed with this notion, finding it to be ridiculous to have the son follow in the father's footsteps after an event that had happened moons ago that forced the man's retirement. An argument broke out between the two but eventually, with no other real options, Elliot was to join the troupe.<br />
<br /><br />
::The name of the troupe? The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers, often shortened to Opal Theatre, they are a travelling troupe that, as the name suggests, provide theatrical entertainment. They're usually hired by rich folk to entertain, most of the time being in Thanalan, but they sometimes offer a show to the poor folk that are unable to see their shows, in fact, they do encourage the poor folk to do what they can to see their plays, much to the dismay of law enforcement as this involves sneaking in or breaking into a theater and so on. There is another side to the troupe that both parents are very much aware of, they steal things. However, unlike most thieves and pirates, they stole from only the richest of folk (with a few, certain exceptions of a manly manner) right from under their noses. If there was a rare jewel to be found, they would steal it. Maiden looking for an excuse to escape their fathers? Sure, they'll do it. But they do have morals and oftentimes when they're hired by the more shady folk, they would go along with it to a degree. Need someone assassinated? Okay, they'll 'kill' said person somehow but, hmm, that's strange, is that the Brass Blades at your door? Either way, they are said to be noble thieves amongst the poor and destitute, in fact, they often bring in orphans or those in desperate need of a new life on board to raise as their own.<br />
<br /><br />
::Anyway, it just so happens that on the day that the father decided to find the troupe, they were paying the Twelveswood a visit. A parley of words were exchanged between the boy's father and the leader of the troupe and the boy was brought on board with the travelling troupe. At first, he wasn't fairly confident in himself, his self esteem heavily damaged by his parent's situation, he would often shrink away to hide amongst the caravans and would often ask to be cast in less limelight hogging roles, preferring the backstage more than the front. In an effort to raise his self-confidence, it was decided that the child needed someone of his own age to be with and, it just so happens, they had recently picked up a stray Moonkeeper Miqo'te girl at the time who was, if not the same, of similar age to him.<br />
<br /><br />
::Elliot was introduced to magitek during the caravan’s visit to a Garlean Castrum to provide entertainment for the Garlean troops stationed there. He was assigned, alongside three others, the role to sneak in and steal the blueprints to their secret weapon to sell off to the Alliance for money. Long story short, it nearly failed and Elliot and his friends were unable to retrieve the blueprints for the secret weapon that had been locked oh so tightly and kept under close guard by magitek vanguards. Of course, Elliot does manage to find a small compendium of magitek machinery ranging from making everyday tasks that little bit easier to devices that can cause destruction, to a degree, not as strong as a thaumaturge or a powerful marauder or even a conjurer wielding the power of stone but it’s still something.<br />
<br /><br />
::Naturally, the gang of thieves decide to use it to improve their theatre game after Elliot tinkers around with spare parts they’d find lying around and finding that they can use it for special effects to make their performances that much better. And being able to draw more attention to their performances will allow them to let their hidden front go through undetected. It’s perfect.<br />
<br /><br />
::And it was perfect. Their heightened performances began to surge them in popularity to the point where they were doing more legitimate works than they did stealing from the rich. Of course, they only get paid meagre amounts, so they did have to paw some goods from the rich folks of Ul’Dah while they weren’t looking. It’s worth to note that those acting as thieves for the job are masked so as to conceal their identities and this gave the Brass Blades a headache as they had to deal with royals and the wealthy complaining to them day in and day out about missing and stolen goods. One day, though… their troupe stole from the wrong person and what happened next isn’t exactly pretty.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Breaking Boundaries - During Calamity to A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Well, the calamity really hit people pretty hard, our travelling troupe also was a victim of such a calamity, losing a caravan, a few chocobos, and their handlers to a seemingly random meteor that was sent flying from the Fields of Carteneau. This really set the group back severely as getting a hold of transportation was near difficult with their new-found fame, which eventually dwindled as the years went by. Elliot, at the time, was still studying the magitek with some of the engineers in the troupe and attempting to find newer and better ways to improve their performances, both on stage and in the shadows. It doesn't help that, in recent times, security has been ramped up and the gil hoard that they once had would slowly dwindle overtime despite everyone's best efforts. Nothing was getting done and the troupe decided to have one last hurrah before disbanding, hosting a spectacle of the ages, as they advertised, inviting any and all who would listen.<br />
<br /><br />
::And, on top of this, there was one last job that, conveniently, came up around that time from an anonymous person. There was supposedly a caravan containing rare and valuable goods making its way through Thanalan and the employer asked for a specific set of thieves to raid it and bring it to a remote part of Thanalan, the Sagolii Desert. Elliot, the aforementioned Miqo'te girl, the troupe's leader, and a Roegadyn were amongst the ones selected. With only days left to prepare, the leader enacted an acting leader to take his place while he and the others go out to raid the caravan while the play is ongoing.<br />
<br /><br />
::The day eventually arrives, a theatre within Ul'Dah was rented out for the formerly travelling troupe's last hurrah and they've managed to gather a rather decently sized crowd made up of many different monetary classes; the rich, the poor, the middle, all were here to send off the troupe. Meanwhile, when the night fell, the play was a foot, both on stage and in the shadows. The caravan raid went off without a hitch, in fact, one could say that it went a little too well, the chocobo leading the caravan was seemingly unafraid of the approaching rogues and the merchant peddling these rare wares was all too easily willing to give up his goods in exchange for his freedom. There were no guards or anything, it was way too easy and yet, everyone seems to not notice this, except for, well, Elliot who recognizes the trope in play and attempted to tell the others to exercise caution as they made their way to Sagolii Desert to meet with their employer to obtain their reward.<br />
<br /><br />
::And that's when everything began to fall apart, suddenly, the theatre went up in blazes thanks to a faulty piece of tech, injuring many people, especially audience members, and, in the desert, well, a rather large group of shady folk surrounded the light party and, as it turns out, in a sad twist of fate, the employer happened to be none other than the acting leader, the very man that they stole from who had quite a bit of underground connections. As it turns out, they've been tracking the group for quite some time now, many, many moons at that, and now that they're being disbanded, what better way to send them off than to send their best and brightest thieves back into the aether? As for the others, well, the blades are going to be involved and, well, they're going to take the blame for committing arson.<br />
<br /><br />
::A fight breaks out, the enraged leader conjuring up a storm of stones and water while the others fend off the would-be assassins, what's more is that some of the folk they were fighting looked quite a bit like those from the troupe, even those had been with them for years. How amusing it must be to see the troupe fight amongst themselves at their final hour. Swords were swung, bullets were shot, daggers were slashed, spells of all kinds were tossed to and fro. The outcome was never truly clear but, according to some eyewitnesses who had happened to find the ensuing battle, there was a huge aetherial explosion and then, silence. Those who arrived after the explosion found a scene of many collapsed bodies, the number of casualties are unclear but it was clear that Elliot was among the survivors, although out cold, his weapon blown to bits and pieces.<br />
<br /><br />
::After that day, The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers were found out to be nothing more than mere thieves, their reputation tarnished amongst the rich and wealthy, many members were taken into custody and others still had fled to parts unknown and eventually, their shining light shines no more, disappearing into the annals of history.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Flames Burn Immortal - A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot was eventually able to recover from the ordeal, although it had costed him severely. The exposure to a lot of fire-based aether had rendered his voice useless and his face received a scarring after pieces of his gun scratched at his face after the explosive flare that had happened that day. On top of that, he had found himself unable to use aether in a magical way, although it was said that the exposure to aether, while it may have played a part in it, isn't the true cause or, at least, some conjurers believe that to be the case anyway. During the time with the troupe, his parents were able to live out their lives peacefully, although they eventually passed away around the same time the boy was assaulted, records say. This left the boy homeless and without anyone to go back to. The troupe was disgraced and disbanded and he was trapped in Ul'dah for the time being due to his wounds.<br /><br />
::While the boy was first suspected to be a part of the troupe of thieves, he, and eventually, the troupe itself, was eventually let go from custody by a mysterious benefactor and pardoned under the pretence that he perform what amounted to service to the community under the banner of the Immortal Flames's Free Brigade. Essentially, he was to become an adventurer. Payment came in the form of extremely basic lodgings and a small amount of gil. Eventually, he would come to find himself under a new banner, Reclaimed Fortune, a free company run by an Au Ra woman named Odtsetseg Gan. Things eventually began to look up for the boy.<br />
</spoiler><br />
<br /><br />
<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />

= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

= Journal (Hooks and Stories in-progress) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

Taught the boy how to read and write, himself, also allegedly shown the child a few knife tricks to defend himself with should he run up into trouble.

Often referred to as 'Silken Steel'. She was a conjurer who worked to help aid the injured and the ill, when the elements commanded it, of course, although sometimes she went against the will of the elements to do what she felt was right, often to the detriment of everybody else. Her actions had inspired the boy the urge to study conjury, which then lead to minor studies in other forms of magic too, although he was naturally drawn to the healing powers of conjuration. Unfortunately, much like her husband, she had passed away in the boy's absence. Nobody really knows what had happened but most assuming it was from natural causes or the elements had had enough of her meddling and went rogue on her.</div><br />

Interestingly enough, when he first met her, she was part-miqo'te due to, in her words, an accident involving a potion that can dramatically change the appearance of one person to the point where they might as well have been an entirely different person.

That, and touching Elliot's nerves, figuratively speaking.

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<spoiler>:<big><big><big>I Wanna Be Your Canary - Before Calamity</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot never had much of a family, he was born to a young couple who were living within the Twelveswood, the woman a conjurer, the man an ex-performer for a travelling troupe that will be expanded upon at a later moment. He was an only child and, as such, lived a life of solitude within the wood's arboreal walls although he did have friends in Gridania, so it wasn't an entirely lonely existence with his parents. In fact, he had a rather decent life, having been taught to read and write by his parents and more besides, it wouldn't take many years, however, before a spot of trouble befalls the family.<br />
<br /><br />
::They were running low on gil and despite doing odd jobs here and there, they weren't able to scrounge up enough to maintain themselves, and therein, an idea formed in the head of the father known only as Sal Gardiner. He would attempt to find his old troupe that he had retired from many many moons ago and have them offer a job of sorts to their only child. However, the mother disagreed with this notion, finding it to be ridiculous to have the son follow in the father's footsteps after an event that had happened moons ago that forced the man's retirement. An argument broke out between the two but eventually, with no other real options, Elliot was to join the troupe.<br />
<br /><br />
::The name of the troupe? The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers, often shortened to Opal Theatre, they are a travelling troupe that, as the name suggests, provide theatrical entertainment. They're usually hired by rich folk to entertain, most of the time being in Thanalan, but they sometimes offer a show to the poor folk that are unable to see their shows, in fact, they do encourage the poor folk to do what they can to see their plays, much to the dismay of law enforcement as this involves sneaking in or breaking into a theater and so on. There is another side to the troupe that both parents are very much aware of, they steal things. However, unlike most thieves and pirates, they stole from only the richest of folk (with a few, certain exceptions of a manly manner) right from under their noses. If there was a rare jewel to be found, they would steal it. Maiden looking for an excuse to escape their fathers? Sure, they'll do it. But they do have morals and oftentimes when they're hired by the more shady folk, they would go along with it to a degree. Need someone assassinated? Okay, they'll 'kill' said person somehow but, hmm, that's strange, is that the Brass Blades at your door? Either way, they are said to be noble thieves amongst the poor and destitute, in fact, they often bring in orphans or those in desperate need of a new life on board to raise as their own.<br />
<br /><br />
::Anyway, it just so happens that on the day that the father decided to find the troupe, they were paying the Twelveswood a visit. A parley of words were exchanged between the boy's father and the leader of the troupe and the boy was brought on board with the travelling troupe. At first, he wasn't fairly confident in himself, his self esteem heavily damaged by his parent's situation, he would often shrink away to hide amongst the caravans and would often ask to be cast in less limelight hogging roles, preferring the backstage more than the front. In an effort to raise his self-confidence, it was decided that the child needed someone of his own age to be with and, it just so happens, they had recently picked up a stray Moonkeeper Miqo'te girl at the time who was, if not the same, of similar age to him.<br />
<br /><br />
::Elliot was introduced to magitek during the caravan’s visit to a Garlean Castrum to provide entertainment for the Garlean troops stationed there. He was assigned, alongside three others, the role to sneak in and steal the blueprints to their secret weapon to sell off to the Alliance for money. Long story short, it nearly failed and Elliot and his friends were unable to retrieve the blueprints for the secret weapon that had been locked oh so tightly and kept under close guard by magitek vanguards. Of course, Elliot does manage to find a small compendium of magitek machinery ranging from making everyday tasks that little bit easier to devices that can cause destruction, to a degree, not as strong as a thaumaturge or a powerful marauder or even a conjurer wielding the power of stone but it’s still something.<br />
<br /><br />
::Naturally, the gang of thieves decide to use it to improve their theatre game after Elliot tinkers around with spare parts they’d find lying around and finding that they can use it for special effects to make their performances that much better. And being able to draw more attention to their performances will allow them to let their hidden front go through undetected. It’s perfect.<br />
<br /><br />
::And it was perfect. Their heightened performances began to surge them in popularity to the point where they were doing more legitimate works than they did stealing from the rich. Of course, they only get paid meagre amounts, so they did have to paw some goods from the rich folks of Ul’Dah while they weren’t looking. It’s worth to note that those acting as thieves for the job are masked so as to conceal their identities and this gave the Brass Blades a headache as they had to deal with royals and the wealthy complaining to them day in and day out about missing and stolen goods. One day, though… their troupe stole from the wrong person and what happened next isn’t exactly pretty.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Breaking Boundaries - During Calamity to A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Well, the calamity really hit people pretty hard, our travelling troupe also was a victim of such a calamity, losing a caravan, a few chocobos, and their handlers to a seemingly random meteor that was sent flying from the Fields of Carteneau. This really set the group back severely as getting a hold of transportation was near difficult with their new-found fame, which eventually dwindled as the years went by. Elliot, at the time, was still studying the magitek with some of the engineers in the troupe and attempting to find newer and better ways to improve their performances, both on stage and in the shadows. It doesn't help that, in recent times, security has been ramped up and the gil hoard that they once had would slowly dwindle overtime despite everyone's best efforts. Nothing was getting done and the troupe decided to have one last hurrah before disbanding, hosting a spectacle of the ages, as they advertised, inviting any and all who would listen.<br />
<br /><br />
::And, on top of this, there was one last job that, conveniently, came up around that time from an anonymous person. There was supposedly a caravan containing rare and valuable goods making its way through Thanalan and the employer asked for a specific set of thieves to raid it and bring it to a remote part of Thanalan, the Sagolii Desert. Elliot, the aforementioned Miqo'te girl, the troupe's leader, and a Roegadyn were amongst the ones selected. With only days left to prepare, the leader enacted an acting leader to take his place while he and the others go out to raid the caravan while the play is ongoing.<br />
<br /><br />
::The day eventually arrives, a theatre within Ul'Dah was rented out for the formerly travelling troupe's last hurrah and they've managed to gather a rather decently sized crowd made up of many different monetary classes; the rich, the poor, the middle, all were here to send off the troupe. Meanwhile, when the night fell, the play was a foot, both on stage and in the shadows. The caravan raid went off without a hitch, in fact, one could say that it went a little too well, the chocobo leading the caravan was seemingly unafraid of the approaching rogues and the merchant peddling these rare wares was all too easily willing to give up his goods in exchange for his freedom. There were no guards or anything, it was way too easy and yet, everyone seems to not notice this, except for, well, Elliot who recognizes the trope in play and attempted to tell the others to exercise caution as they made their way to Sagolii Desert to meet with their employer to obtain their reward.<br />
<br /><br />
::And that's when everything began to fall apart, suddenly, the theatre went up in blazes thanks to a faulty piece of tech, injuring many people, especially audience members, and, in the desert, well, a rather large group of shady folk surrounded the light party and, as it turns out, in a sad twist of fate, the employer happened to be none other than the acting leader, the very man that they stole from who had quite a bit of underground connections. As it turns out, they've been tracking the group for quite some time now, many, many moons at that, and now that they're being disbanded, what better way to send them off than to send their best and brightest thieves back into the aether? As for the others, well, the blades are going to be involved and, well, they're going to take the blame for committing arson.<br />
<br /><br />
::A fight breaks out, the enraged leader conjuring up a storm of stones and water while the others fend off the would-be assassins, what's more is that some of the folk they were fighting looked quite a bit like those from the troupe, even those had been with them for years. How amusing it must be to see the troupe fight amongst themselves at their final hour. Swords were swung, bullets were shot, daggers were slashed, spells of all kinds were tossed to and fro. The outcome was never truly clear but, according to some eyewitnesses who had happened to find the ensuing battle, there was a huge aetherial explosion and then, silence. Those who arrived after the explosion found a scene of many collapsed bodies, the number of casualties are unclear but it was clear that Elliot was among the survivors, although out cold, his weapon blown to bits and pieces.<br />
<br /><br />
::After that day, The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers were found out to be nothing more than mere thieves, their reputation tarnished amongst the rich and wealthy, many members were taken into custody and others still had fled to parts unknown and eventually, their shining light shines no more, disappearing into the annals of history.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Flames Burn Immortal - A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot was eventually able to recover from the ordeal, although it had costed him severely. The exposure to a lot of fire-based aether had rendered his voice useless and his face received a scarring after pieces of his gun scratched at his face after the explosive flare that had happened that day. On top of that, he had found himself unable to use aether in a magical way, although it was said that the exposure to aether, while it may have played a part in it, isn't the true cause or, at least, some conjurers believe that to be the case anyway. During the time with the troupe, his parents were able to live out their lives peacefully, although they eventually passed away around the same time the boy was assaulted, records say. This left the boy homeless and without anyone to go back to. The troupe was disgraced and disbanded and he was trapped in Ul'dah for the time being due to his wounds.<br /><br />
::While the boy was first suspected to be a part of the troupe of thieves, he, and eventually, the troupe itself, was eventually let go from custody by a mysterious benefactor and pardoned under the pretence that he perform what amounted to service to the community under the banner of the Immortal Flames's Free Brigade. Essentially, he was to become an adventurer. Payment came in the form of extremely basic lodgings and a small amount of gil. Eventually, he would come to find himself under a new banner, Reclaimed Fortune, a free company run by an Au Ra woman named Odtsetseg Gan. Things eventually began to look up for the boy.<br />

::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />

= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />
<br />
:* '''Eorzean Sign Language''' - A more recently acquired skill during his year's absence from the scene of Eorzea. He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet and is prone to being misinterpreted.<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<spoiler>:<big><big><big>I Wanna Be Your Canary - Before Calamity</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot never had much of a family, he was born to a young couple who were living within the Twelveswood, the woman a conjurer, the man an ex-performer for a travelling troupe that will be expanded upon at a later moment. He was an only child and, as such, lived a life of solitude within the wood's arboreal walls although he did have friends in Gridania, so it wasn't an entirely lonely existence with his parents. In fact, he had a rather decent life, having been taught to read and write by his parents and more besides, it wouldn't take many years, however, before a spot of trouble befalls the family.<br />
<br /><br />
::They were running low on gil and despite doing odd jobs here and there, they weren't able to scrounge up enough to maintain themselves, and therein, an idea formed in the head of the father known only as Sal Gardiner. He would attempt to find his old troupe that he had retired from many many moons ago and have them offer a job of sorts to their only child. However, the mother disagreed with this notion, finding it to be ridiculous to have the son follow in the father's footsteps after an event that had happened moons ago that forced the man's retirement. An argument broke out between the two but eventually, with no other real options, Elliot was to join the troupe.<br />
<br /><br />
::The name of the troupe? The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers, often shortened to Opal Theatre, they are a travelling troupe that, as the name suggests, provide theatrical entertainment. They're usually hired by rich folk to entertain, most of the time being in Thanalan, but they sometimes offer a show to the poor folk that are unable to see their shows, in fact, they do encourage the poor folk to do what they can to see their plays, much to the dismay of law enforcement as this involves sneaking in or breaking into a theater and so on. There is another side to the troupe that both parents are very much aware of, they steal things. However, unlike most thieves and pirates, they stole from only the richest of folk (with a few, certain exceptions of a manly manner) right from under their noses. If there was a rare jewel to be found, they would steal it. Maiden looking for an excuse to escape their fathers? Sure, they'll do it. But they do have morals and oftentimes when they're hired by the more shady folk, they would go along with it to a degree. Need someone assassinated? Okay, they'll 'kill' said person somehow but, hmm, that's strange, is that the Brass Blades at your door? Either way, they are said to be noble thieves amongst the poor and destitute, in fact, they often bring in orphans or those in desperate need of a new life on board to raise as their own.<br />
<br /><br />
::Anyway, it just so happens that on the day that the father decided to find the troupe, they were paying the Twelveswood a visit. A parley of words were exchanged between the boy's father and the leader of the troupe and the boy was brought on board with the travelling troupe. At first, he wasn't fairly confident in himself, his self esteem heavily damaged by his parent's situation, he would often shrink away to hide amongst the caravans and would often ask to be cast in less limelight hogging roles, preferring the backstage more than the front. In an effort to raise his self-confidence, it was decided that the child needed someone of his own age to be with and, it just so happens, they had recently picked up a stray Moonkeeper Miqo'te girl at the time who was, if not the same, of similar age to him.<br />
<br /><br />
::Elliot was introduced to magitek during the caravan’s visit to a Garlean Castrum to provide entertainment for the Garlean troops stationed there. He was assigned, alongside three others, the role to sneak in and steal the blueprints to their secret weapon to sell off to the Alliance for money. Long story short, it nearly failed and Elliot and his friends were unable to retrieve the blueprints for the secret weapon that had been locked oh so tightly and kept under close guard by magitek vanguards. Of course, Elliot does manage to find a small compendium of magitek machinery ranging from making everyday tasks that little bit easier to devices that can cause destruction, to a degree, not as strong as a thaumaturge or a powerful marauder or even a conjurer wielding the power of stone but it’s still something.<br />
<br /><br />
::Naturally, the gang of thieves decide to use it to improve their theatre game after Elliot tinkers around with spare parts they’d find lying around and finding that they can use it for special effects to make their performances that much better. And being able to draw more attention to their performances will allow them to let their hidden front go through undetected. It’s perfect.<br />
<br /><br />
::And it was perfect. Their heightened performances began to surge them in popularity to the point where they were doing more legitimate works than they did stealing from the rich. Of course, they only get paid meagre amounts, so they did have to paw some goods from the rich folks of Ul’Dah while they weren’t looking. It’s worth to note that those acting as thieves for the job are masked so as to conceal their identities and this gave the Brass Blades a headache as they had to deal with royals and the wealthy complaining to them day in and day out about missing and stolen goods. One day, though… their troupe stole from the wrong person and what happened next isn’t exactly pretty.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Breaking Boundaries - During Calamity to A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Well, the calamity really hit people pretty hard, our travelling troupe also was a victim of such a calamity, losing a caravan, a few chocobos, and their handlers to a seemingly random meteor that was sent flying from the Fields of Carteneau. This really set the group back severely as getting a hold of transportation was near difficult with their new-found fame, which eventually dwindled as the years went by. Elliot, at the time, was still studying the magitek with some of the engineers in the troupe and attempting to find newer and better ways to improve their performances, both on stage and in the shadows. It doesn't help that, in recent times, security has been ramped up and the gil hoard that they once had would slowly dwindle overtime despite everyone's best efforts. Nothing was getting done and the troupe decided to have one last hurrah before disbanding, hosting a spectacle of the ages, as they advertised, inviting any and all who would listen.<br />
<br /><br />
::And, on top of this, there was one last job that, conveniently, came up around that time from an anonymous person. There was supposedly a caravan containing rare and valuable goods making its way through Thanalan and the employer asked for a specific set of thieves to raid it and bring it to a remote part of Thanalan, the Sagolii Desert. Elliot, the aforementioned Miqo'te girl, the troupe's leader, and a Roegadyn were amongst the ones selected. With only days left to prepare, the leader enacted an acting leader to take his place while he and the others go out to raid the caravan while the play is ongoing.<br />
<br /><br />
::The day eventually arrives, a theatre within Ul'Dah was rented out for the formerly travelling troupe's last hurrah and they've managed to gather a rather decently sized crowd made up of many different monetary classes; the rich, the poor, the middle, all were here to send off the troupe. Meanwhile, when the night fell, the play was a foot, both on stage and in the shadows. The caravan raid went off without a hitch, in fact, one could say that it went a little too well, the chocobo leading the caravan was seemingly unafraid of the approaching rogues and the merchant peddling these rare wares was all too easily willing to give up his goods in exchange for his freedom. There were no guards or anything, it was way too easy and yet, everyone seems to not notice this, except for, well, Elliot who recognizes the trope in play and attempted to tell the others to exercise caution as they made their way to Sagolii Desert to meet with their employer to obtain their reward.<br />
<br /><br />
::And that's when everything began to fall apart, suddenly, the theatre went up in blazes thanks to a faulty piece of tech, injuring many people, especially audience members, and, in the desert, well, a rather large group of shady folk surrounded the light party and, as it turns out, in a sad twist of fate, the employer happened to be none other than the acting leader, the very man that they stole from who had quite a bit of underground connections. As it turns out, they've been tracking the group for quite some time now, many, many moons at that, and now that they're being disbanded, what better way to send them off than to send their best and brightest thieves back into the aether? As for the others, well, the blades are going to be involved and, well, they're going to take the blame for committing arson.<br />
<br /><br />
::A fight breaks out, the enraged leader conjuring up a storm of stones and water while the others fend off the would-be assassins, what's more is that some of the folk they were fighting looked quite a bit like those from the troupe, even those had been with them for years. How amusing it must be to see the troupe fight amongst themselves at their final hour. Swords were swung, bullets were shot, daggers were slashed, spells of all kinds were tossed to and fro. The outcome was never truly clear but, according to some eyewitnesses who had happened to find the ensuing battle, there was a huge aetherial explosion and then, silence. Those who arrived after the explosion found a scene of many collapsed bodies, the number of casualties are unclear but it was clear that Elliot was among the survivors, although out cold, his weapon blown to bits and pieces.<br />
<br /><br />
::After that day, The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers were found out to be nothing more than mere thieves, their reputation tarnished amongst the rich and wealthy, many members were taken into custody and others still had fled to parts unknown and eventually, their shining light shines no more, disappearing into the annals of history.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Flames Burn Immortal - A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot was eventually able to recover from the ordeal, although it had costed him severely. The exposure to a lot of fire-based aether had rendered his voice useless and his face received a scarring after pieces of his gun scratched at his face after the explosive flare that had happened that day. On top of that, he had found himself unable to use aether in a magical way, although it was said that the exposure to aether, while it may have played a part in it, isn't the true cause or, at least, some conjurers believe that to be the case anyway. During the time with the troupe, his parents were able to live out their lives peacefully, although they eventually passed away around the same time the boy was assaulted, records say. This left the boy homeless and without anyone to go back to. The troupe was disgraced and disbanded and he was trapped in Ul'dah for the time being due to his wounds.<br /><br />
::While the boy was first suspected to be a part of the troupe of thieves, he, and eventually, the troupe itself, was eventually let go from custody by a mysterious benefactor and pardoned under the pretence that he perform what amounted to service to the community under the banner of the Immortal Flames's Free Brigade. Essentially, he was to become an adventurer. Payment came in the form of extremely basic lodgings and a small amount of gil. Eventually, he would come to find himself under a new banner, Reclaimed Fortune, a free company run by an Au Ra woman named Odtsetseg Gan. Things eventually began to look up for the boy.<br />

<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />

= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Hooks and Stories in-progress) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Rounding Up The Troupe''' - ''Character Story - Long-term'' - Recently, Elliot has been stalked by a carbuncle that seems to have taken a liking to him. It appears to answer to the name 'Opal' which, as Elliot can vaguely recall, happens to be similar to the name used for what amounted to the now-disbanded troupe's family pet. Well, technically, carbuncles are pets to a degree, so it works. Of course, what's odd is that its master is nowhere to be seen, odd. More on that as the story develops<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<spoiler>:<big><big><big>I Wanna Be Your Canary - Before Calamity</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot never had much of a family, he was born to a young couple who were living within the Twelveswood, the woman a conjurer, the man an ex-performer for a travelling troupe that will be expanded upon at a later moment. He was an only child and, as such, lived a life of solitude within the wood's arboreal walls although he did have friends in Gridania, so it wasn't an entirely lonely existence with his parents. In fact, he had a rather decent life, having been taught to read and write by his parents and more besides, it wouldn't take many years, however, before a spot of trouble befalls the family.<br />
<br /><br />
::They were running low on gil and despite doing odd jobs here and there, they weren't able to scrounge up enough to maintain themselves, and therein, an idea formed in the head of the father known only as Sal Gardiner. He would attempt to find his old troupe that he had retired from many many moons ago and have them offer a job of sorts to their only child. However, the mother disagreed with this notion, finding it to be ridiculous to have the son follow in the father's footsteps after an event that had happened moons ago that forced the man's retirement. An argument broke out between the two but eventually, with no other real options, Elliot was to join the troupe.<br />
<br /><br />
::The name of the troupe? The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers, often shortened to Opal Theatre, they are a travelling troupe that, as the name suggests, provide theatrical entertainment. They're usually hired by rich folk to entertain, most of the time being in Thanalan, but they sometimes offer a show to the poor folk that are unable to see their shows, in fact, they do encourage the poor folk to do what they can to see their plays, much to the dismay of law enforcement as this involves sneaking in or breaking into a theater and so on. There is another side to the troupe that both parents are very much aware of, they steal things. However, unlike most thieves and pirates, they stole from only the richest of folk (with a few, certain exceptions of a manly manner) right from under their noses. If there was a rare jewel to be found, they would steal it. Maiden looking for an excuse to escape their fathers? Sure, they'll do it. But they do have morals and oftentimes when they're hired by the more shady folk, they would go along with it to a degree. Need someone assassinated? Okay, they'll 'kill' said person somehow but, hmm, that's strange, is that the Brass Blades at your door? Either way, they are said to be noble thieves amongst the poor and destitute, in fact, they often bring in orphans or those in desperate need of a new life on board to raise as their own.<br />
<br /><br />
::Anyway, it just so happens that on the day that the father decided to find the troupe, they were paying the Twelveswood a visit. A parley of words were exchanged between the boy's father and the leader of the troupe and the boy was brought on board with the travelling troupe. At first, he wasn't fairly confident in himself, his self esteem heavily damaged by his parent's situation, he would often shrink away to hide amongst the caravans and would often ask to be cast in less limelight hogging roles, preferring the backstage more than the front. In an effort to raise his self-confidence, it was decided that the child needed someone of his own age to be with and, it just so happens, they had recently picked up a stray Moonkeeper Miqo'te girl at the time who was, if not the same, of similar age to him.<br />
<br /><br />
::Elliot was introduced to magitek during the caravan’s visit to a Garlean Castrum to provide entertainment for the Garlean troops stationed there. He was assigned, alongside three others, the role to sneak in and steal the blueprints to their secret weapon to sell off to the Alliance for money. Long story short, it nearly failed and Elliot and his friends were unable to retrieve the blueprints for the secret weapon that had been locked oh so tightly and kept under close guard by magitek vanguards. Of course, Elliot does manage to find a small compendium of magitek machinery ranging from making everyday tasks that little bit easier to devices that can cause destruction, to a degree, not as strong as a thaumaturge or a powerful marauder or even a conjurer wielding the power of stone but it’s still something.<br />
<br /><br />
::Naturally, the gang of thieves decide to use it to improve their theatre game after Elliot tinkers around with spare parts they’d find lying around and finding that they can use it for special effects to make their performances that much better. And being able to draw more attention to their performances will allow them to let their hidden front go through undetected. It’s perfect.<br />
<br /><br />
::And it was perfect. Their heightened performances began to surge them in popularity to the point where they were doing more legitimate works than they did stealing from the rich. Of course, they only get paid meagre amounts, so they did have to paw some goods from the rich folks of Ul’Dah while they weren’t looking. It’s worth to note that those acting as thieves for the job are masked so as to conceal their identities and this gave the Brass Blades a headache as they had to deal with royals and the wealthy complaining to them day in and day out about missing and stolen goods. One day, though… their troupe stole from the wrong person and what happened next isn’t exactly pretty.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Breaking Boundaries - During Calamity to A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Well, the calamity really hit people pretty hard, our travelling troupe also was a victim of such a calamity, losing a caravan, a few chocobos, and their handlers to a seemingly random meteor that was sent flying from the Fields of Carteneau. This really set the group back severely as getting a hold of transportation was near difficult with their new-found fame, which eventually dwindled as the years went by. Elliot, at the time, was still studying the magitek with some of the engineers in the troupe and attempting to find newer and better ways to improve their performances, both on stage and in the shadows. It doesn't help that, in recent times, security has been ramped up and the gil hoard that they once had would slowly dwindle overtime despite everyone's best efforts. Nothing was getting done and the troupe decided to have one last hurrah before disbanding, hosting a spectacle of the ages, as they advertised, inviting any and all who would listen.<br />
<br /><br />
::And, on top of this, there was one last job that, conveniently, came up around that time from an anonymous person. There was supposedly a caravan containing rare and valuable goods making its way through Thanalan and the employer asked for a specific set of thieves to raid it and bring it to a remote part of Thanalan, the Sagolii Desert. Elliot, the aforementioned Miqo'te girl, the troupe's leader, and a Roegadyn were amongst the ones selected. With only days left to prepare, the leader enacted an acting leader to take his place while he and the others go out to raid the caravan while the play is ongoing.<br />
<br /><br />
::The day eventually arrives, a theatre within Ul'Dah was rented out for the formerly travelling troupe's last hurrah and they've managed to gather a rather decently sized crowd made up of many different monetary classes; the rich, the poor, the middle, all were here to send off the troupe. Meanwhile, when the night fell, the play was a foot, both on stage and in the shadows. The caravan raid went off without a hitch, in fact, one could say that it went a little too well, the chocobo leading the caravan was seemingly unafraid of the approaching rogues and the merchant peddling these rare wares was all too easily willing to give up his goods in exchange for his freedom. There were no guards or anything, it was way too easy and yet, everyone seems to not notice this, except for, well, Elliot who recognizes the trope in play and attempted to tell the others to exercise caution as they made their way to Sagolii Desert to meet with their employer to obtain their reward.<br />
<br /><br />
::And that's when everything began to fall apart, suddenly, the theatre went up in blazes thanks to a faulty piece of tech, injuring many people, especially audience members, and, in the desert, well, a rather large group of shady folk surrounded the light party and, as it turns out, in a sad twist of fate, the employer happened to be none other than the acting leader, the very man that they stole from who had quite a bit of underground connections. As it turns out, they've been tracking the group for quite some time now, many, many moons at that, and now that they're being disbanded, what better way to send them off than to send their best and brightest thieves back into the aether? As for the others, well, the blades are going to be involved and, well, they're going to take the blame for committing arson.<br />
<br /><br />
::A fight breaks out, the enraged leader conjuring up a storm of stones and water while the others fend off the would-be assassins, what's more is that some of the folk they were fighting looked quite a bit like those from the troupe, even those had been with them for years. How amusing it must be to see the troupe fight amongst themselves at their final hour. Swords were swung, bullets were shot, daggers were slashed, spells of all kinds were tossed to and fro. The outcome was never truly clear but, according to some eyewitnesses who had happened to find the ensuing battle, there was a huge aetherial explosion and then, silence. Those who arrived after the explosion found a scene of many collapsed bodies, the number of casualties are unclear but it was clear that Elliot was among the survivors, although out cold, his weapon blown to bits and pieces.<br />
<br /><br />
::After that day, The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers were found out to be nothing more than mere thieves, their reputation tarnished amongst the rich and wealthy, many members were taken into custody and others still had fled to parts unknown and eventually, their shining light shines no more, disappearing into the annals of history.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Flames Burn Immortal - A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot was eventually able to recover from the ordeal, although it had costed him severely. The exposure to a lot of fire-based aether had rendered his voice useless and his face received a scarring after pieces of his gun scratched at his face after the explosive flare that had happened that day. On top of that, he had found himself unable to use aether in a magical way, although it was said that the exposure to aether, while it may have played a part in it, isn't the true cause or, at least, some conjurers believe that to be the case anyway. During the time with the troupe, his parents were able to live out their lives peacefully, although they eventually passed away around the same time the boy was assaulted, records say. This left the boy homeless and without anyone to go back to. The troupe was disgraced and disbanded and he was trapped in Ul'dah for the time being due to his wounds.<br /><br />
::While the boy was first suspected to be a part of the troupe of thieves, he, and eventually, the troupe itself, was eventually let go from custody by a mysterious benefactor and pardoned under the pretence that he perform what amounted to service to the community under the banner of the Immortal Flames's Free Brigade. Essentially, he was to become an adventurer. Payment came in the form of extremely basic lodgings and a small amount of gil. Eventually, he would come to find himself under a new banner, Reclaimed Fortune, a free company run by an Au Ra woman named Odtsetseg Gan. Things eventually began to look up for the boy.<br />
</spoiler><br />
<br /><br />
<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />

= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Hooks and Stories in-progress) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Nightmare on Thanalan Street''' - ''Character Story'' - He'd been recently plagued with nightmarish visions that he is currently unable to articulate properly in words (mostly because his text-to-speech device is still, as it ever is, a work in progress). What he'd remembered though are possibly things in the past, perhaps before the calamity? Who knows? Maybe someone could help him mine the thoughts in his head?<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Gunplay''' - Elliot is a rather deft hand at using a musket, revolver, what have you, if it can shoot, he can use it. While he may not be as good as a shot as the marksmen of legend, he is still a really decent gunner. Essentially, one wouldn't want to run into his sights when he's rather peeved.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.<br />

::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<spoiler>:<big><big><big>I Wanna Be Your Canary - Before Calamity</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot never had much of a family, he was born to a young couple who were living within the Twelveswood, the woman a conjurer, the man an ex-performer for a travelling troupe that will be expanded upon at a later moment. He was an only child and, as such, lived a life of solitude within the wood's arboreal walls although he did have friends in Gridania, so it wasn't an entirely lonely existence with his parents. In fact, he had a rather decent life, having been taught to read and write by his parents and more besides, it wouldn't take many years, however, before a spot of trouble befalls the family.<br />
<br /><br />
::They were running low on gil and despite doing odd jobs here and there, they weren't able to scrounge up enough to maintain themselves, and therein, an idea formed in the head of the father known only as Sal Gardiner. He would attempt to find his old troupe that he had retired from many many moons ago and have them offer a job of sorts to their only child. However, the mother disagreed with this notion, finding it to be ridiculous to have the son follow in the father's footsteps after an event that had happened moons ago that forced the man's retirement. An argument broke out between the two but eventually, with no other real options, Elliot was to join the troupe.<br />
<br /><br />
::The name of the troupe? The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers, often shortened to Opal Theatre, they are a travelling troupe that, as the name suggests, provide theatrical entertainment. They're usually hired by rich folk to entertain, most of the time being in Thanalan, but they sometimes offer a show to the poor folk that are unable to see their shows, in fact, they do encourage the poor folk to do what they can to see their plays, much to the dismay of law enforcement as this involves sneaking in or breaking into a theater and so on. There is another side to the troupe that both parents are very much aware of, they steal things. However, unlike most thieves and pirates, they stole from only the richest of folk (with a few, certain exceptions of a manly manner) right from under their noses. If there was a rare jewel to be found, they would steal it. Maiden looking for an excuse to escape their fathers? Sure, they'll do it. But they do have morals and oftentimes when they're hired by the more shady folk, they would go along with it to a degree. Need someone assassinated? Okay, they'll 'kill' said person somehow but, hmm, that's strange, is that the Brass Blades at your door? Either way, they are said to be noble thieves amongst the poor and destitute, in fact, they often bring in orphans or those in desperate need of a new life on board to raise as their own.<br />
<br /><br />
::Anyway, it just so happens that on the day that the father decided to find the troupe, they were paying the Twelveswood a visit. A parley of words were exchanged between the boy's father and the leader of the troupe and the boy was brought on board with the travelling troupe. At first, he wasn't fairly confident in himself, his self esteem heavily damaged by his parent's situation, he would often shrink away to hide amongst the caravans and would often ask to be cast in less limelight hogging roles, preferring the backstage more than the front. In an effort to raise his self-confidence, it was decided that the child needed someone of his own age to be with and, it just so happens, they had recently picked up a stray Moonkeeper Miqo'te girl at the time who was, if not the same, of similar age to him.<br />
<br /><br />
::Elliot was introduced to magitek during the caravan’s visit to a Garlean Castrum to provide entertainment for the Garlean troops stationed there. He was assigned, alongside three others, the role to sneak in and steal the blueprints to their secret weapon to sell off to the Alliance for money. Long story short, it nearly failed and Elliot and his friends were unable to retrieve the blueprints for the secret weapon that had been locked oh so tightly and kept under close guard by magitek vanguards. Of course, Elliot does manage to find a small compendium of magitek machinery ranging from making everyday tasks that little bit easier to devices that can cause destruction, to a degree, not as strong as a thaumaturge or a powerful marauder or even a conjurer wielding the power of stone but it’s still something.<br />
<br /><br />
::Naturally, the gang of thieves decide to use it to improve their theatre game after Elliot tinkers around with spare parts they’d find lying around and finding that they can use it for special effects to make their performances that much better. And being able to draw more attention to their performances will allow them to let their hidden front go through undetected. It’s perfect.<br />
<br /><br />
::And it was perfect. Their heightened performances began to surge them in popularity to the point where they were doing more legitimate works than they did stealing from the rich. Of course, they only get paid meagre amounts, so they did have to paw some goods from the rich folks of Ul’Dah while they weren’t looking. It’s worth to note that those acting as thieves for the job are masked so as to conceal their identities and this gave the Brass Blades a headache as they had to deal with royals and the wealthy complaining to them day in and day out about missing and stolen goods. One day, though… their troupe stole from the wrong person and what happened next isn’t exactly pretty.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Breaking Boundaries - During Calamity to A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Well, the calamity really hit people pretty hard, our travelling troupe also was a victim of such a calamity, losing a caravan, a few chocobos, and their handlers to a seemingly random meteor that was sent flying from the Fields of Carteneau. This really set the group back severely as getting a hold of transportation was near difficult with their new-found fame, which eventually dwindled as the years went by. Elliot, at the time, was still studying the magitek with some of the engineers in the troupe and attempting to find newer and better ways to improve their performances, both on stage and in the shadows. It doesn't help that, in recent times, security has been ramped up and the gil hoard that they once had would slowly dwindle overtime despite everyone's best efforts. Nothing was getting done and the troupe decided to have one last hurrah before disbanding, hosting a spectacle of the ages, as they advertised, inviting any and all who would listen.<br /><br />
::And, on top of this, there was one last job that, conveniently, came up around that time from an anonymous person. There was supposedly a caravan containing rare and valuable goods making its way through Thanalan and the employer asked for a specific set of thieves to raid it and bring it to a remote part of Thanalan, the Sagolii Desert. Elliot, the aforementioned Miqo'te girl, the troupe's leader, and a Roegadyn were amongst the ones selected. With only days left to prepare, the leader enacted an acting leader to take his place while he and the others go out to raid the caravan while the play is ongoing.<br /><br />
::The day eventually arrives, a theatre within Ul'Dah was rented out for the formerly travelling troupe's last hurrah and they've managed to gather a rather decently sized crowd made up of many different monetary classes; the rich, the poor, the middle, all were here to send off the troupe. Meanwhile, when the night fell, the play was a foot, both on stage and in the shadows. The caravan raid went off without a hitch, in fact, one could say that it went a little too well, the chocobo leading the caravan was seemingly unafraid of the approaching rogues and the merchant peddling these rare wares was all too easily willing to give up his goods in exchange for his freedom. There were no guards or anything, it was way too easy and yet, everyone seems to not notice this, except for, well, Elliot who recognizes the trope in play and attempted to tell the others to exercise caution as they made their way to Sagolii Desert to meet with their employer to obtain their reward.<br /><br />
::And that's when everything began to fall apart, suddenly, the theatre went up in blazes thanks to a faulty piece of tech, injuring many people, especially audience members, and, in the desert, well, a rather large group of shady folk surrounded the light party and, as it turns out, in a sad twist of fate, the employer happened to be none other than the acting leader, the very man that they stole from who had quite a bit of underground connections. As it turns out, they've been tracking the group for quite some time now, many, many moons at that, and now that they're being disbanded, what better way to send them off than to send their best and brightest thieves back into the aether? As for the others, well, the blades are going to be involved and, well, they're going to take the blame for committing arson.<br /><br />
::A fight breaks out, the enraged leader conjuring up a storm of stones and water while the others fend off the would-be assassins, what's more is that some of the folk they were fighting looked quite a bit like those from the troupe, even those had been with them for years. How amusing it must be to see the troupe fight amongst themselves at their final hour. Swords were swung, bullets were shot, daggers were slashed, spells of all kinds were tossed to and fro. The outcome was never truly clear but, according to some eyewitnesses who had happened to find the ensuing battle, there was a huge aetherial explosion and then, silence. Those who arrived after the explosion found a scene of many collapsed bodies, the number of casualties are unclear but it was clear that Elliot was among the survivors, although out cold, his weapon blown to bits and pieces.<br /><br />
::After that day, The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers were found out to be nothing more than mere thieves, their reputation tarnished amongst the rich and wealthy, many members were taken into custody and others still had fled to parts unknown and eventually, their shining light shines no more, disappearing into the annals of history.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
:<big><big><big>Flames Burn Immortal - A Realm Reborn</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot was eventually able to recover from the ordeal, although it had costed him severely. The exposure to a lot of fire-based aether had rendered his voice useless and his face received a scarring after pieces of his gun scratched at his face after the explosive flare that had happened that day. On top of that, he had found himself unable to use aether in a magical way, although it was said that the exposure to aether, while it may have played a part in it, isn't the true cause or, at least, some conjurers believe that to be the case anyway. During the time with the troupe, his parents were able to live out their lives peacefully, although they eventually passed away around the same time the boy was assaulted, records say. This left the boy homeless and without anyone to go back to. The troupe was disgraced and disbanded and he was trapped in Ul'dah for the time being due to his wounds.<br /><br />
::While the boy was first suspected to be a part of the troupe of thieves, he, and eventually, the troupe itself, was eventually let go from custody by a mysterious benefactor and pardoned under the pretence that he perform what amounted to service to the community under the banner of the Immortal Flames's Free Brigade. Essentially, he was to become an adventurer. Payment came in the form of extremely basic lodgings and a small amount of gil. Eventually, he would come to find himself under a new banner, Reclaimed Fortune, a free company run by an Au Ra woman named Odtsetseg Gan. Things eventually began to look up for the boy.<br />
</spoiler><br />
<br /><br />
<big><big><big><big>Present Day</big></big></big></big><br />
:<big><big><big>A Voice - Heavensward</big></big></big><br />
::Years later, the boy's life couldn't really be any better than it is right now. Working under the Reclaimed Fortune banner had helped him hone his past thievery skills in the name of property reclamation and has enabled him to pursue his hobby of mechanics once again. Right now, at this time, the boy had managed to reclaim his deceased parent's home, an apartment, in Lily Hills and has now found himself associating with a free company known as The Wandering Tonberries, lead by one [[Flynt Knoltros]] alongside [[Ritsu Arlow|Ritsu Knoltros]]. What will happen beyond here? Maybe he'll eventually find a way to reclaim his voice, his power, or maybe he might find his old troupe members, his old friends. They have to be somewhere, out there.<br /><br /><br />

<br />
= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Hooks and Stories in-progress) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Nightmare on Thanalan Street''' - ''Character Story'' - He'd been recently plagued with nightmarish visions that he is currently unable to articulate properly in words (mostly because his text-to-speech device is still, as it ever is, a work in progress). What he'd remembered though are possibly things in the past, perhaps before the calamity? Who knows? Maybe someone could help him mine the thoughts in his head?<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />
<br />
<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:{{Redacted-short}}<spoiler>:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.</spoiler><br />

::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />

:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<spoiler>:<big><big><big>I Wanna Be Your Canary - Before Calamity</big></big></big><br />
::Elliot never had much of a family, he was born to a young couple who were living within the Twelveswood, the woman a conjurer, the man an ex-performer for a travelling troupe that will be expanded upon at a later moment. He was an only child and, as such, lived a life of solitude within the wood's arboreal walls although he did have friends in Gridania, so it wasn't an entirely lonely existence with his parents. In fact, he had a rather decent life, having been taught to read and write by his parents and more besides, it wouldn't take many years, however, before a spot of trouble befalls the family.<br />
<br /><br />
::They were running low on gil and despite doing odd jobs here and there, they weren't able to scrounge up enough to maintain themselves, and therein, an idea formed in the head of the father known only as Sal Gardiner. He would attempt to find his old troupe that he had retired from many many moons ago and have them offer a job of sorts to their only child. However, the mother disagreed with this notion, finding it to be ridiculous to have the son follow in the father's footsteps after an event that had happened moons ago that forced the man's retirement. An argument broke out between the two but eventually, with no other real options, Elliot was to join the troupe.<br />
<br /><br />
::The name of the troupe? The Shining Opal Theatrical Wanderers, often shortened to Opal Theatre, they are a travelling troupe that, as the name suggests, provide theatrical entertainment. They're usually hired by rich folk to entertain, most of the time being in Thanalan, but they sometimes offer a show to the poor folk that are unable to see their shows, in fact, they do encourage the poor folk to do what they can to see their plays, much to the dismay of law enforcement as this involves sneaking in or breaking into a theater and so on. There is another side to the troupe that both parents are very much aware of, they steal things. However, unlike most thieves and pirates, they stole from only the richest of folk (with a few, certain exceptions of a manly manner) right from under their noses. If there was a rare jewel to be found, they would steal it. Maiden looking for an excuse to escape their fathers? Sure, they'll do it. But they do have morals and oftentimes when they're hired by the more shady folk, they would go along with it to a degree. Need someone assassinated? Okay, they'll 'kill' said person somehow but, hmm, that's strange, is that the Brass Blades at your door? Either way, they are said to be noble thieves amongst the poor and destitute, in fact, they often bring in orphans or those in desperate need of a new life on board to raise as their own.<br />
<br /><br />
::Anyway, it just so happens that on the day that the father decided to find the troupe, they were paying the Twelveswood a visit. A parley of words were exchanged between the boy's father and the leader of the troupe and the boy was brought on board with the travelling troupe. At first, he wasn't fairly confident in himself, his self esteem heavily damaged by his parent's situation, he would often shrink away to hide amongst the caravans and would often ask to be cast in less limelight hogging roles, preferring the backstage more than the front. In an effort to raise his self-confidence, it was decided that the child needed someone of his own age to be with and, it just so happens, they had recently picked up a stray Moonkeeper Miqo'te girl at the time who was, if not the same, of similar age to him.<br />
<br /><br />
::Elliot was introduced to magitek during the caravan’s visit to a Garlean Castrum to provide entertainment for the Garlean troops stationed there. He was assigned, alongside three others, the role to sneak in and steal the blueprints to their secret weapon to sell off to the Alliance for money. Long story short, it nearly failed and Elliot and his friends were unable to retrieve the blueprints for the secret weapon that had been locked oh so tightly and kept under close guard by magitek vanguards. Of course, Elliot does manage to find a small compendium of magitek machinery ranging from making everyday tasks that little bit easier to devices that can cause destruction, to a degree, not as strong as a thaumaturge or a powerful marauder or even a conjurer wielding the power of stone but it’s still something.<br />
<br /><br />
::Naturally, the gang of thieves decide to use it to improve their theatre game after Elliot tinkers around with spare parts they’d find lying around and finding that they can use it for special effects to make their performances that much better. And being able to draw more attention to their performances will allow them to let their hidden front go through undetected. It’s perfect.<br />
<br /><br />
::And it was perfect. Their heightened performances began to surge them in popularity to the point where they were doing more legitimate works than they did stealing from the rich. Of course, they only get paid meagre amounts, so they did have to paw some goods from the rich folks of Ul’Dah while they weren’t looking. It’s worth to note that those acting as thieves for the job are masked so as to conceal their identities and this gave the Immortal Flames a headache as they had to deal with royals and the wealthy complaining to them day in and day out about missing and stolen goods. One day, though… their troupe stole from the wrong person and what happened next isn’t exactly pretty.</spoiler><br />

= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Hooks and Stories in-progress) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Nightmare on Thanalan Street''' - ''Character Story'' - He'd been recently plagued with nightmarish visions that he is currently unable to articulate properly in words (mostly because his text-to-speech device is still, as it ever is, a work in progress). What he'd remembered though are possibly things in the past, perhaps before the calamity? Who knows? Maybe someone could help him mine the thoughts in his head?<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #0B2265;font-size:16px;color:#e0dcce;font-family:Courier;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black">'''M I N O R S K I L L S'''</div></div><br />
:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:{{Redacted-short}}<spoiler>:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.</spoiler><br />

He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />

Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. It operates by way of aether crystals pertaining to certain elements such as wind, lightning, water, earth, and so on. When he was younger, he was capable of using it in a fashion similar to the Conjurers and Thaumaturges by shooting elemental bullets that would mimick the spells that they cast, eventually the core that powered this feature broke down and he'd been unable to use it this way ever since. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Nightmare on Thanalan Street''' - ''Character Story'' - He'd been recently plagued with nightmarish visions that he is currently unable to articulate properly in words (mostly because his text-to-speech device is still, as it ever is, a work in progress). What he'd remembered though are possibly things in the past, perhaps before the calamity? Who knows? Maybe someone could help him mine the thoughts in his head?<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Stealth''' - Elliot is well-versed in stalking the shadows, perhaps something from his past has to have something to do with it. But either way, it might be hard to see the boy coming, although you only need to look for the bright lights that show on his weapons of choice or the glint of his clothes in the pale moonlight. On that note, he appears to be perfectly capable of stealing things when people aren't looking, making him perfect to bring along for treasure hunts in forgotten ruins where triggering a trap can cause a boulder to come out of nowhere and music to start blaring for some reason.<sup>1</sup><br />

:* '''Conjuration''' and '''Thaumaturgy''' - While he is magically disabled for the most part, he used to be capable of casting spells when he was much younger until an accident rendered him unable to manipulate aether as well as he could. As a result, if he wants to cast spells, he will have to rely on the aetherial crystals of lightning, fire, and ice for thaumaturgy and water and air for conjuration. His pseudo-spells may not be as effective as a regular conjurer or thaumaturge nor are they as reliable as the magitek he uses has a chance of backfiring (even more so for the more potent stuff) but, well, he can spellsling like the rest.<br />
<br />
:{{Redacted-short}}<spoiler>:* '''Acting''' - The boy can act, slightly better than the average person but not godlike or anything. Spending years living with a travelling troupe that doubled as a family can change a man, although he seems to prefer the roles that don't involve much speaking or time in the limelight, something that plagued the troupe. Well, until the incident.<br />
<br />
:* '''Knifeplay''' - The boy knows how to handle a knife with the skills of an adept rogue. However, it seems that he favours less violent routes and may only really use these as a last resort.</spoiler><br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />
<br />
:* Stats if he was an actual character and not some RP one (Out of a possible 10)<br />
::* STR: 3<br />
::* DEX: 7<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

:* '''Conjury''' - Being magically 'disabled' as one would call it and Eorzean means that one would have a tough time discerning the magicks of the world. Elliot has since figured out a way around his own limitation after certain studies and is supposedly capable of using limited conjury. However, his scope is limited by the power of his 'focus' which isn't entirely powerful to begin with.<br />

:* The following tropes may apply to Elliot (also, I am SO sorry!):<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired Boy] - Being mute, lacking in social skills and a lack of grasp of said social conventions, then mixing that up with whatever happened to him during his disappearance from the face of Eorzea. He's not quite a Shrinking Violet but he comes close. Also has the blue hair, gotta have blue hair.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeenGenius Teen Genius] - Despite his creations that tend to go outside the box being the kind that could blow up in his face, he's still abnormally intelligent for his age.<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Adorkable Adorkable]<br />
::* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute] - Kinda. While he, himself, is rendered unable to speak, he has a device that speaks for him. It does require that he types something in, though, since it doesn't just read his mind.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before the calamity struck.<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
---<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />
:* He prefers to stay away from violent conflicts, often seeing it as a last resort more than a tool. Unfortunately, he has had to employ it more often than not since most unsavories don't speak diplomacy.<br />

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. '''BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~''' (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:* '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
= Journal (Hooks and Stories in-progress) =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Nightmare on Thanalan Street''' - ''Character Story'' - He'd been recently plagued with nightmarish visions that he is currently unable to articulate properly in words (mostly because his text-to-speech device is still, as it ever is, a work in progress). What he'd remembered though are possibly things in the past, perhaps before the calamity? Who knows? Maybe someone could help him mine the thoughts in his head?<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two is, of course, his weapon of choice, a rifle based on the designs obtained from the Garlond Ironworks with a few modifications of his own. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />

Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />

:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. '''BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~''' (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Cane)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:*' '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two appears to be the typical auto-turret drone but seems to be capable of speech, apparently preferring to be called 'Ace'. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Conjury''' - Being magically 'disabled' as one would call it and Eorzean means that one would have a tough time discerning the magicks of the world. Elliot has since figured out a way around his own limitation after certain studies and is supposedly capable of using limited conjury. However, his scope is limited by the power of his 'focus' which isn't entirely powerful to begin with.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before suddenly disappearing sometime before the calamity. It wasn't until after Ishgard began to open its borders in full that he reappeared, seemingly more shook up than he was, perhaps more anxious. Although he doesn't show this often, when he's truly alone (or believes he is), he often looks to the shadows as though expecting something, anything, to jump out at him. What could have possibly happened to him?<br />

:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />

<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:There's a story behind this guy. What's strange (or completely typical of these types, depending on your perception<sup>1</sup>) is the fact that this boy cannot, for the life of him, remember his own past, he only knows bits and pieces of it in waves but they always come and go as they please, all he really knows is that some of his past was... violent<sup>2</sup> and what he sees is not very pleasant. Nevertheless, he tends to shrug it off and moving forward in life, the only visible clues to his past seems to be the way he subconsciously salutes in a manner close to that of the Imperial Legion and his, guess what, subconscious attempt to hide his eye with the visible scar. And despite being prone to aether-sickness, those who can sense the aether may notice a large amount of lightning-aspected aether coming off of him, more so than usual for the average Eorzean<sup>3</sup>. More shall be revealed in due time but, for now, to use a common cliché, the past is shrouded in mist. Does Elliot dare to pull back the curtain?<sup>4</sup><br />
<br />
<small><sup>1</sup> A perception of about 550 is needed in order to see this way of perceiving which, coincidentally, is the same amount of perception needed to find an adamantite ore of good enough collectability. Whatever that means.<br /><sup>2</sup> Of course, this doesn't make him very special, if we were to take every Eorzean that was born before the Calamity then we can say for sure that their lives were, at least once, touched by violence of a grand scale.<br /><sup>3</sup> 9 out of 10 Eorzean Conjurers agree that absorbing a small amount of lightning-aspected aether daily can contribute to one's own wellbeing. The tenth conjurer died in a horrific lightning-related accident. We expect him to make a full recovery and report back to the Conjurer's Guild within a week.<br /><sup>4</sup> And contrary to popular belief, not every wrong is a right.</small><br />

:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - Field Testing - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. '''BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~''' (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Staff)<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - Field Testing - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature. (In-game model is Ironworks Magitek Revolver)<br />
<br />
:*' '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

'''Quests ("Stories") Accepted:'''<br />
:*'''Field Test Three Steps Away ''' - ''Character Story'' - Elliot has returned from wherever he went off to with new and improved gear and machinery. Although he's still quiet as he once was, it appears that his mechanical skills have been improving. In fact, he's field-testing a couple of weapons that he'd based off the Ironworks blueprints just to see if he could find a way around his odd inability to use aether. They can be found in the 'Creations' tab and are marked appropriately.<br />
:*'''Nightmare on Thanalan Street''' - ''Character Story'' - He'd been recently plagued with nightmarish visions that he is currently unable to articulate properly in words (mostly because his text-to-speech device is still, as it ever is, a work in progress). What he'd remembered though are possibly things in the past, perhaps before the calamity? Who knows? Maybe someone could help him mine the thoughts in his head?<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:*'''Nightmare on Thanalan Street''' - ''Character Story'' - He'd been recently plagued with nightmarish visions that he is currently unable to articulate properly in words (mostly because his text-to-speech device is still, as it ever is, a work in progress). What he'd remembered though are possibly things in the past, perhaps before the calamity? Who knows? Maybe someone could help him mine the thoughts in his head?<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two appears to be the typical auto-turret drone but seems to be capable of speech, apparently preferring to be called 'Ace'. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />

Elliot has since figured out a way around his own limitation after certain studies and is supposedly capable of using limited conjury. However, his scope is limited by the power of his 'focus' which isn't entirely powerful to begin with.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />

It wasn't until after Ishgard began to open its borders in full that he reappeared, seemingly more shook up than he was, perhaps more anxious. Although he doesn't show this often, when he's truly alone (or believes he is), he often looks to the shadows as though expecting something, anything, to jump out at him.

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* Unfortunately, out of necessity, Elliot doesn't like being around students of the arcanima very much due in part to their carbuncles. The fact of the matter is that the boy is rather dismayed by this fact, especially since he thinks carbuncles are cute.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />

:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. '''BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~'''<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature.<br />
<br />
:*' '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device (Textra)''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />

Needless to say, the boy can't exactly go near them without feeling ill effects and, so, is currently working on a device made to capture constructs made from aether and to contain their, for a lack of a better term, aetherial radiation so as to allow Elliot to pick them up unharmed. However, creating one is proving harder than anticipated...<br />
:*'''I Probably See Dead People but I Am Uncertain''' - ''FC Story'' - The boy has been plagued by nightmares recently, contributing to his ever deteriorating quality of sleep. While it is standard for Elliot to get up at least once during the night, these ones are apparently so intense that he is unable to sleep. He does, however, believe that there might be someone trying to communicate with him from beyond...<br />
<spoiler><br />
:*'''In Want of a Voice''' - ''Maiden Voyage'' - Elliot is currently creating a tablet-like device that is capable of, well, displaying text that he writes and displaying it on a screen. All that he is missing is one vital component, a piece that interfaces with the entire construct. Although searching for the parts have come up short, he had managed to get into contact with one of the engineers of ''The Wandering Tonberry'' and, after brokering a deal with the Free Company's leader, [[Flynt Knoltros|''Flynt Knoltros'']], the engineer that went by the name of ''Shankara'' suggested that they raid a Garlean convoy before finding out that the boy isn't entirely prepared yet. A few days later, however, Elliot, along with a group of people from the Wandering Tonberry, raided what appeared to be an abandoned outpost, which turned out to not be abandoned. There, they found a group of Garlemald forces supposedly stationed to gather up equipment and to find a prototype the outpost's people had been working on afore it was abandoned. Needless to say, it was a wild ride but they had found what they came for and then some.<br />

:* '''Engineering''' - Elliot is what one would say an adept at engineering, capable of understanding and building basic machina. He has been known to experiment at times with the blueprints, most have failed, few have passed his own rigorous testing. Only two, after minor tweaking here and there, have ever seen the light of day beyond the prototype phase, however, this doesn't stop him from building said prototypes. The first of the two appears to be the typical auto-turret drone but seems to be capable of speech, apparently preferring to be called 'Ace'. The second of the two seems to be a staff based off of those wielded by the conjurers of Eorzea, though it could be considered magitek by nature, it appears to be powered in a different manner.<br />
<br />
:* '''Conjury''' - Being magically 'disabled' as one would call it and Eorzean means that one would have a tough time discerning the magicks of the world. Elliot has since figured out a way around his own limitation after certain studies and is supposedly capable of using limited conjury. However, his scope is limited by the power of his 'focus' which isn't entirely powerful to begin with.<br />

: Elliot is a guy who happens to be a bit on the quiet side, mayhaps too quiet, and carries with him an air of timidity, preferring to be alone or in a small group over roaming around in the crowds as they tend to overwhelm him. Those who seek to know him will have to deal with his initial adjusting phase where he robotically goes through the motions of meeting someone before letting his sweet, kind, joyful self shine through. While he does seem cold at times, he’s pretty warm-hearted, willingly wearing his heart on his sleeve.<br />
<br />
: There’s just a problem or two with him, just the one, he can’t talk. He’s been unable to for however long it has been. He may have been cursed or he may have been born with a defect in his vocal cords, nobody truly knows. He has learned to make do with his quill and paper he carries around everywhere, although this is often unreliable when the people he’s trying to ‘talk’ to is unable to read what he puts down half the time. Another problem is that he’s quite aether-sensitive and has been known to act as though he’s in a drunken stupor, or be close to fainting, when exposed to sources of strong aetherical constructs, whether physical or no. And as an added ‘bonus’ to being aether-sensitive, he’s unable to manipulate aether in the way that a native Eorzean can despite not being a native Garlean. This hasn’t stopped him from attempting to manipulate the magicks in alternate, more mechanical ways. <br />
<br />
: The boy had taken up the profession of tinkering when he was pretty young, not having much of a grasp at it at first, but he eventually quickly learned from his trials and errors to the point where he began experimenting with known blueprints in his mid-teens before suddenly disappearing sometime before the calamity. It wasn't until after Ishgard began to open its borders in full that he reappeared, seemingly more shook up than he was, perhaps more anxious. Although he doesn't show this often, when he's truly alone (or believes he is), he often looks to the shadows as though expecting something, anything, to jump out at him. What could have possibly happened to him?<br />

:* Elliot, first and foremost, is awed by the wonders of technology, particularly those of a magitek bent. He has been known to study such objects for hours without so much of a noticing of other people.<br />
:* As is expected from someone like him, he likes to read. He has no real preference to any particular genre but, again, if it has machina in it, it's likely that he'll read it.<br />
:* He's very fond of animals and ''most'' bugs, as is expected of someone born from Gridania.<br />
:* He likes helping people in need of help, whether they ask for it or not. Elliot ''will'' find a way.<br />
<br />
:* While he can stomach some sweet things, Elliot does not like super sweet stuff. Chocolate is the biggest offender as it has the tendency to make him sick. He ''will'' take chocolate that is dark, though.<br />
:* Unfortunately, out of necessity, Elliot doesn't like being around students of the arcanima very much due in part to their carbuncles. The fact of the matter is that the boy is rather dismayed by this fact, especially since he thinks carbuncles are cute.<br />
:* The boy does not have the patience for those who seek to take advantage of another person, whether that is for monetary gain or for more nefarious methods. It appears that he takes this very personally.<br />

= Creations =<br />
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 252, 240)"><br />
:Elliot is a rather inventive engineer, albeit not as great as someone with many, many years of experience, each and every creation of his here are normally prone to bugs and glitches and although most of them are fuelled by the very same power that powers the airships, Ceruleum, a few ''certain'' pieces of equipment appear to run on alternate power sources.<br />
<br />
:* '''Mekanism''' - First off, a magitek staff that allows the boy to achieve his dream of being a conjurer and then some. Unlike most ''standard'' equipment he's tinkered with, the staff appears to run off of an alternative fuel source if the faint blue-green glow isn't obvious enough. Shards, elemental shards power the staff and gives it its power, although it is prone to malfunctioning as a result, endangering the boy's already feeble and sub-par resistance to the aether. Also occasionally makes a loud horn-like noise when in use. '''BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~'''<br />
<br />
:* '''Eripio''' - A flintlock rifle. A very ''patchy'' flintlock rifle that's been modified to take more than just standard bullets by using the wonders of '''MAGIC''' and '''SCIENCE''' to convert any appropriately sized metallic construct into a single bullet. Ideally, this allows Elliot to effectively have unlimited ammunition at all times. However, it fails very often and, despite tweaks to the matter, the mechanism that governs this feature would often clog up and expel more gas than it should, so he doesn't rely on this feature.<br />
<br />
:*' '''Glove-mounted text-to-speech device''' - In cooperation with Shankara of the Wandering Tonberry, this glove has been outfitted with magitek that enables the user to speak via typing on a keyboard peripheral. While it is still slightly faulty, presumably due to the use of a mammet's vocal processor amongst other things, and the voice that comes out is most definitely female, Elliot seems happy that his concept has finally seen the light of day.<br />
