...If anyone knows what Steinway is, I just really like the name /shot
Name: STEINWAY, Elijah (birthname: Eiji)
Nickname: Eli, Elijah, Eiji
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Birthday: April 20
Year: 2nd year
Height: 5’ 5”
Would-be Self: A person someone would see as wise and stoic and a great defender, like a loyal knight or paladin.
Personality:
Elijah has an extremely short fuse and tends to be too hot-blooded on topics that he’s passionate about. He’s headstrong and prefers to do things the way that he knows and thinks is best. His willpower is great enough to prevent him from taking on any temptations. He also has an extreme thirst for justice and being fairly treated across the board. Not just for himself, but for others as well.
He’s joyous and open-minded, tending to wear his heart on his sleeve. He is full of expression and color for life in general. He has a certain type of tolerance for things he does not understand, one of initial curiosity. But when he decides that something is bad, he is convinced that it is. You will know where you stand with Elijah at all times. He is not afraid of anything or anyone.
He tends to be too much of brash and self-righteous, thinking he has the best and most upright moral code. Elijah has a short fuse and can get his switched flipped pretty badly if he is forced to do something he doesn’t feel is right or wanting to do. He’s also very gullible and falls for a lot of hoax rumors/urban legends of Future Predictions or UFO sightings, and even mermaids...
Biography:
Eli was born in Toronto, Canada to a Japanese mother (homemaker) and English father (salesman) but quickly moved to Tokyo, Japan soon after to be closer to the mother’s family. Eli was a well-behaved small child, quiet, and even spoke English. He’d done nothing to upset his parents and wouldn’t dream of it.
His father, being uncomfortable living in the foreign land, eventually made up his mind to leave. He felt quite distanced and nuanced by the culture. So at age 5, without a proper sit down with his son, he’d left. They divorced and Eli’s mother was devastated by her dependence on him. She took on a humble call center job to have a little income of her own, though Eli and his mother are very financially stable thanks to his mother’s side of the family. Eli’s grandparents are extremely wealthy, and so are their children.
Eli would watch his mother struggle with relationships for the remainder of his childhood. Observing his mother suffer with boyfriend to boyfriend and her self-destructive behaviors taught him to be stronger for their family. He wanted his mother to always know that he would be the kind of son that would be a better person than his father.
Because of his father walking out so early without so much as an explanation and the continuation of meeting boyfriends here and there, he became very protective of his mother. He took up taekwondo and this is all his after school activity consisted of. From this inward need for justice, understanding, and to be able to protect those he loves, and those in need. His egg came to him on the day he received his red belt. He’d began to cry after his examination out of happiness that he was proficient enough to be a protector.
