THEME

PERSONALITY

+ Altruistic, at least in the sense that he would rather help others than hurt them. In fact, Elias would gladly help anyone in need, so long as he is properly equipped to do so. The man is acutely aware of his own faults and being selfish certainly isn't one of those. While it may be cliché, he's more than willing to give someone the shirt off his back.

+ Empathetic in more ways than one, Elias has always been more than willing to try and understand where people are coming from, no matter their backgrounds. He cares a great deal about conceptualizing the existence of others and believes there is much to learn about the world and its inhabitants by putting himself in others' shoes.

+ Gentle toward every being that breathes and even things that don't, Elias is a man who takes great pride in how he treats other people. He's an expert at sugar-coating things, someone who has learned how to soften blows and be tender when the time calls for it.

+ Humble. By no means would Elias ever dream of elevating himself above others. He is a firm believer that all things were created equal. Those who are prejudiced are small minded, and those who put him down are easily ignored. It's safe to say that it would prove challenging to damage the man's ego, as it hardly exists.

+ Perceptive enough to look below the surface and more than willing to do so as well, Elias doesn't judge someone based upon looks alone. He takes time to get to know others before passing judgement, though when that judgement is made, he is always willing to give others a second chance.

+ Patient as waves smoothing stone, Elias is more than willing to wait for his goals to be met. He doesn't believe that anything good will come out of haste. The tortoise wins more often than the hare. Elias is patient with many things that others may find frustrating, though it's something he's had to work at to perfect.

• Practicality is something that Elias values, though his emotions may drive him to the opposite of the spectrum. In all reality, Elias values efficiency and tries to make the most out of what he is given. While his mind is steeped in the turbulence of emotional undercurrents, it's rare that things Elias does serve little to no practical value.

- Anxious due to his own insecurity and personal faults, the little voice in the back of Elias's head tends to be more discouraging than not. He's struggled with this voice for the majority of his life and tries to keep it in check as much as he can. Elias tends to worry about everything, including things that seem irrational to most.

- Brittle as if he were a homemade hard candy, Elias may be determined, but it doesn't take much effort to convince him to shatter. His wide range of emotion causes him to be quite sensitive to criticism. This trait, paired with his naturally anxious tendencies, often leads to breakdowns of large scales.

- Obstinate because he's determined to get what he needs for his next project, Elias is more than willing to risk it for the biscuit. It all just depends on what that biscuit is and what it means to him. More often than not, he only takes risks to accomplish his own creative visions and to help those in dire situations, but when he has his mind set on one particular course of action he will do whatever it takes to achieve it.

- Maudlin whilst drinking, it's best to steer Elias away from alcohol. The substance may give others joy and free them of inhibitions, but it's safe to say that the opposite is true for this particular Zora. He will cry endlessly if given the opportunity and complain not only about himself and his people's lot in life, but also about how kind everyone is for listening to his woes and all of the great things people have done for him in years past.

- Timid and prone to falling victim of the slightest jump scares, Elias is definitely not someone with the constitution to enter a dungeon alone. Socially, this timidity only persists until he gets to know someone well enough to feel comfortable around them. It's typically just the idea of approaching someone that turns Elias off to socialization.

- Zany in the sense that he does things that many others might find unorthodox, Elias enjoys doing things that may come off as strange to others. He thinks himself to be an enjoyable conversation partner and often thinks aloud, mumbling things to himself. He's also very particular about certain things, like which direction he is facing before falling asleep and his own handwriting.

LIKES [attr="class","scroll"] Relaxing Reading Teas Swimming Challenges Learning

DISLIKES [attr="class","scroll"] Arrogance Thieves Spite Raising his voice Harming others Hatefulness

MOTIVATIONS [attr="class","scroll"] The People of Sunken City; he grew up in there and his loyalties are ultimately to the poverty stricken folk who remain. He wants to help them in every way that he can, and he believes that being a successful healer would open that door. Knowledge; gaining and understanding knowledge is something that Elias finds to be important. That's why he's motivated to travel and understand ailments of all sorts. Spirituality; Elias wanted to be a traditonal healer not only because his magic encouraged it, but also because it would be an important part of any society.

FEARS [attr="class","scroll"] Failing to Achieve his Goals; mostly because other people are the ones he's actually working for. This alludes to his fear of failing in a variety of aspects of life. Alienating Himself from Society; Elias knows that he's a little on the weird side. Being hyperaware of this facet of his personality has lead to his being obsessed with analyzing his behavior in an effort to avoid being alienated at all costs. Being Manipulated and Used; because Elias tends to be such an altruistic and gentle person, he's deathly afraid of those who are willing to use him to achieve means of their own.

HISTORY

The Verseau family has been around for a while, marrying in and out of Zora family lines, though they've been central to Holodrum for the majority of time. Elias is one of the last surviving heirs of the Verseau bloodline and carries that weight on his shoulders. While his family was nomadic (to some extent), his mother and father have been located in Sunken City since they wed. Naturally, given their emphasis on the family name, it was only fair to try and convince Elias to take up the family trade - artistry.

The boy from a young age displayed very little inclination to artistry and even less talent. His hand was hardly steady, his voice sounded like two seashells being rubbed together, and his feet seemed to be those of a duck's. While his skin made him something of a rarity, he was an ugly ducking, not much for modeling and with no eye for much else. While his parents tried to convince him he could be trained, the boy was fascinated elsewhere with some of the people within Sunken City.

Poverty stricken lands had lead to people doing things out of the goodness of their hearts alone. Elias took it upon himself to locate a mentor and associate with them, taking from them all he could about their trade. The person in question dealt with healing others, but primarily used herbs to do so. In their midst they had several others who wished to tend to the health of the masses as well, though they all have various methods that they thought were best to do so.

Elias was intrigued by the art of healing and wished to try it himself, though what drove him to try it out in the first place was his thirst for knowledge. It was only suiting that when he went through puberty he developed water-based healing magic that lent more to his fancies. The youth decided he wanted to apprentice to the healers in Sunken City to learn their cheap (and occasionally ineffective) methods of healing. Once he had completed his time with them, he began to wonder what else was out there for him to find.

Unluckily enough, the boy's father took up a role in the newfound democracy of Sunken City and Elias was expected to stick around and develop an understanding for political attitudes and diplomacy. Of course, he was hardly interested in such things and has been looking for more ways to get out and see the world. He wants an opportunity to interact with gorons, humans, hylians, and sheikah. He wants to see Hyrule, even in its wartorn state. He'd also like to get to Labrynna and understand more about Holodrum's sister Kingdom. He has high hopes for the future, but no means to achieve them.

APPEARANCE

Skin as blue as the sea covers Elias's body, a recessive trait that he inherited from his forefathers. A smattering of freckles cover his youthful cheeks, freckles that he shares with the majority of his family members. These freckles exude innocence, adding to the man's more juvenile build. Teeth fairly straight and white are contained by dark lips, lips that are soft and supple. Elias's nose is fairly broad and straight. His eyes, reminiscent of the sky, capture the sunlight and bring upon him a somewhat unearthly vibe. 

Hair white as the snow in the mountains (and equally as fluffy) rests atop Elias's head, typically looking rather disheveled. The man is not one to preen, as he rarely has the motivation to consult the mirror, and as such, scarcely cares about looking seemly.

Bodily, Elias is a fairly tall and slim fellow, standing near 6'1" tall and weighing in around 170lbs. The muscle mass he has was earned by swimming, which left his strength distributed well throughout his body. 

Naturally, this poor zora is a simple man of simple fashions, preferring his clothing to be without ornate designs and made of common materials. He's far more concerned with the function of the garment than it's trendiness. He really appreciates plain green shirts and beige trousers, not to mention the fabulous gray messenger bag he is rarely without.

MAGIC

NAME: Water's Embrace
ELEMENT: Water
TYPE: Healing
DURATION/COOLDOWN: 1 Post / 2 Posts
DESCRIPTION: By harnessing water's natural healing qualities, Elias is able to heal minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises with the touch of a hand. To heal bodies other than his own, there must be skin-to-skin contact for a short duration of time. Water must be present for healing.

+ Gills and Fins: Zora are able to breathe underwater without the help of blue dye or a breathing apparatus.

+ Swim Champions: All Zora swim at ease underwater. They are fast, able to fit in narrow spaces, and can outmatch any other race in the water at ease.

- Weak to Electricity: Zora are not very strong against electricity - especially since it spreads like wildfire in water. It can be fatal if exposed to enough, and they will take much more damage than other races.

WEAPONS

NAME: Dolphinius
CLASS: Staff
TYPE: Two-handed weapon
DESCRIPTION: Primarily used as a walking stick, this weapon is little more than a carved piece of driftwood. At the end is a dolphin's head, though it's hardly ornate; it seems to have been carved by a child.
