personality.

- shallow, sarcastic, distant, blunt
Elijah is... a bit of an oddball.
Able to dish back as well as he can receive, he's a chill sort who doesn't get bothered by much. The anger of others washes over him like water off a duck's back, and he has a tendency to encourage such attitudes with sarcastic remarks and an air of just... Not caring. At all.
As far as he knows, he's already been on the bad side of so many people that angering more doesn't make a difference to him. All he cares about is righting the wrong he's done by becoming a hero. To save people instead of repeat what he'd done so many years ago. If he makes friends on the way, great. If he makes enemies, also great. It doesn't matter to him either way.
In general he starts off respectful enough, and can even stay that way depending, but it can go away at a drop of a hat due to his ignoring of people's grievances with him. Interactions are also surface-level, he tries to share only enough of himself to satiate the other's curiosity.

appearance.
| height. 173 cm / 5'8" weight. 73 kg / 161 lbs eyes. Green (l), White (r) hair. Brown | skin. Brown face claim. Elijah Hawthorne series. Original Character credits. Various Artists |
The first thing people would usually notice when they see Elijah is his arm. His entire right arm up to the shoulder is a prosthetic. Lost at an early age and replaced multiple times as he grew, its current iteration is complex enough for him to maneuver it like his left, letting him curl his fingers and grip things without difficulty.
Beyond the artificial aspects of his body, Elijah is a boy with a lean, athletic build, skin tanned and face full of freckles due to a combination of genetics and his time in the sun. His hair is twisted into dreads and often tied back so they don't get in the way of his face.
The clothes he wears are baggy and unassuming; he often opts for hoodies over a simple tee or tank top and cargo pants. He's currently undecided on what his hero outfit would be.

history.
Redemption. A cliché reason for wanting to be a hero, but it's a reason all the same.
Let me make something clear. I don't care if, officially, my family's deaths were an accident. Nor the fact that the injuries my neighbours sustained were fully healed by this point.
I don't remember any of it, but I was told three houses burned down when I came to in the hospital as the sole survivor of my home. Several people told me it wasn't my fault; that I was too young to realize the item I was found with was used for. Others told me I should've joined my arm in hell instead of run away like I did. In either case, both sides and I agreed on the same thing.
The item in my hand was a lighter. I started the fire.
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't the best thing to have listed on a foster kid's resumé. I was passed from home to home, deemed too problematic to care for. I would apparently be in possession of knives even if they've been locked away, or have this urge to tilt a candle so the flame touched something despite what happened.
I was adopted eventually. A retired hero took me in and raised me as if I was his own. I took an interest in the work he did before he hung his cape, so after some convincing I got him to train me. Several years have passed and he told me UAU was how I would further grow in the field. So I'm here. Hey.
And don't ask me to use my Quirk.
As far as anyone knows, I don't have one.

quirk.
meld.
transformation - D
Elijah can melt into any material he touches, which lets him travel along and through it. Anything he wears and holds will transform with him so long as it's feasible for him to carry. If the item he merges with is light enough, he has limited control over it, enabling him to apply force from within and trigger simple mechanisms like locks and buttons.
drawbacks.
He can only become one material at a time. If he's travelling through concrete and he needs to climb a metal wall, he'll have to pop out of the concrete before he can meld into the wall to continue his way.
He has to fully commit to the transformation; he can't stop halfway. Don't expect punches from him while his legs are in the floor.
He loses his senses when transformed, only feeling the pressure pushed against whatever he merged himself with. He's essentially blind to the outside world until he returns to it.
He's ejected from his transformation if the material he's travelling through is broken at his location. Becoming a liquid is especially difficult because a splash is all it takes for him to return to his human form.
The control he has is purely mechanical. He can roll around while inside a coin, but he can't surf the web by possessing a computer.

skills.
cutting edge. C+
His penchant with knives would be more concerning if he wasn't on his way to becoming a hero. Melee is his bread and butter, harbouring a few arts that specialize in speed, power and deflection. He likes using his daggers and can surprise people with throwing knives if they try to jump out of his range.
stealth. D+
Elijah has a knack for going around unnoticed. Whether it's the silence of his movement or using blindspots to his advantage, his skill in remaining unseen is better than the average person. And if he ever uses his quirk? He'll only be found when he wants to be.

gear.
the kit. C+
crafted by CHIRP ♪♪
Utility at its finest. The Kit is a lean prosthetic that houses multiple tools within it. When worn he has access to the following:
- Miniature blades he can deploy from his fingers, to snip things with a scissor motion. Can also reposition them so he has claws to cling to things with.
- Grappling hook in his wrist.
- Hidden dagger in his forearm. Can never have too many!
- Foam dispenser at his knuckles to put out fires and stabilize structures by closing up cracks.
the vine. B-
crafted by Sumi Okita
A prosthetic that's as alive as the rest of him. The Vine is an arm that can split into several tendrils, allowing him to latch onto things with a firm grip as well as stretch it out to grapple on something far away. It's unique in that if the arm is severed or burned off, it can regrow as if he never lost it at all. No, he doesn't feel the pain of having it severed or burned off. It's still a prosthetic.
When in use, his Strength's rank is replaced with the Vine's, and due to its genetic makeup, only Elijah can control it.
