SEXUALITY: heterosexual
NATIONALITY: french
MEMBER GROUP:
STYLE AND APPEARANCE
HAIR COLOUR AND STYLE: elias' hair used to be short and styled in a quiff, now that the luxury of barber shops are gone he has let it grow out. he has always had jet black hair that can be found in a combed back look. he has cut it a few times himself with a knife and naturally it sticks up in some places. rocking the slick back look makes him feel like an old man but it's better than having a mop of a haircut in your face.
EYE COLOUR: blue-grey
BUILD: slender but well-toned muscle.
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT: 5'11", 147lbs
TATTOOS: elias has quite a few, when you first see him you can tell he is inked. the ones people notice right away are...
- "MISCHIEF" across his knuckles on both hands.
- a bird on the top of his right hand
- a skull on the top of his left hand
- a spider web design on his right elbow
- a tiny cross under his right eye
- another bird on his neck
PIERCINGS: his ears
SCARS: a burn mark on his left calf, a cut mark across his right palm, a few small ones on his face from running through trees
ANYTHING ELSE: he tends to be smoking a cigarette whenever he acquires any.
OVERALL APPEARANCE: elias has always dressed a little darker and different than everyone else. he liked tighter fitting jeans and flannel plaid shirts were always his favourite as well. he always had a flare for fashion and he was always well dressed and well trimmed. he dressed more for fashion than for comfort most days. growing up his hair was more of a dark brown but he darkened over time to a jet black. in contrast, his eyes are always haunting and bone-chilling blue-grey. he has heavy bags under his eyes with purple hues from many sleeping nights. traveling alone is something that has caused him to lose sleep just so he won't doze off and be unsafe.
his love for tattoos started when he turned 15, he had gotten his first one (the bird on his neck) for his 16th birthday. his mother allowed it and that's when he just kept adding to his collection. elias always loved art and using his body as a living canvas seemed like a pretty good idea. he's had a lot of work done and isn't ashamed of any of it. his favourite being the words across his palms "MISCHIEF". that was the last tattoo he had gotten before things went south. the scariest and the one that hurt the most was the smallest of his collection. the small cross under his eye was probably the most nerve racking ten minutes of his life. he never really thought about how much error could happen in such a tiny spot. it would be on his face forever and define him. the good thing is that it turned out really nice.
elias doesn't carry much clothing, whenever he can find a house or two and raids it for clothe; he's lucky if he can find something that fits. usually, he has a flannel button up plaid shirt and a pair of worn out black jeans he's had forever. he keeps a couple spare shirts and a few other things incase it gets cold. of course in the winter time though he always has a million layers on and a parka. when it's the spring or fall time he usually sports his uncle's denim jacket out of respect because that's all he has left of him after all. that's the one article of clothing he's always going to keep. over time though, the once blue denim has gained a few stains from blood and gore he's been through. he likes to believe it tells a story from how far he's traveled just to get to the london outskirts.

HABITS:
- smoking
- lying
- running his hand through his hair when he's nervous or frustrated
- waking up in the middle of his sleep screaming from a night terror
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
- manipulative . elias loves playing games. he doesn't really know much about watching what he says to women. he doesn't really have a filter to what hurts you and what you like to hear. he will toy with your feelings until he's bored of you or you realize how much of a game this is to him. elias doesn't understand that his actions actually hurt people. he can mess up a person and uses people to his advantage, when he's done it's plain to see he doesn't want anything to do with you. he can toy with anyone and can snake his way into anyone's good side.
- loving . deep deep deep deep down past the serious elias is a loving one. he does have emotions and really tries to keep his emotions separate from his job. he doesn't like breaking down infront of people so you won't see him crying too much. he really does care about people but since the virus breakout he's learned not to get too attached. he learned this lesson the hard way.. if elias really does care about a person, that person will know. it won't take a bunch of mushy gushy words for them to know. the look on his face and the way he protects them is what conveys his love for someone.
- alert/attentive . whenever you see elias he's always a little more awake then everyone. he'll wake up at 4am wondering if he's safe and secure at all times. when he sits for long periods of times he feels restless and needs to move. she can't stay in one place for too long. this makes him also have a troubled sleeping pattern, you'll find him sleeping all afternoon and staying awake at night. he always feels best at night, daylight makes his eyes hurt too much. elias is also very attentive with people, he can pick up small little things about people from small actions they perform. she can also tell when people are lying and when they're uncomfortable. years of studying people's body language has paid off.
- dangerous . elias always looks serious and he can look like a jerk, well you're right. his internal self has been trained to be serious under certain circumstances. he scares himself at times with the power he holds, he doesn't know what to do with all his knowledge now. it's like learning how to walk, you can never really forget can you? he really can't help it but feel an instinct at certain times. elias doesn't come off as a smart guy but he warns people not to judge a book by their cover. he also doesn't flaunt how strong he truly is and doesn't show people his smart side. he really is quite cunning and likes to come off as the weakling when meeting new people. he does this so he doesn't pose as a threat, and when he finally gains the trust of them and takes a watch for the night solo... he will rob them and sneak into the night and leave them unprotected until someone realizes it.
- secretive . elias has been arrested in the past but only really stayed in jail for a couple of nights. he was in there for a big fight in an alley. elias also has an abusive past from his father and when his mother finally left him that was when he started to get better. that period of his life didn't last long though, he started turning to alcohol and smoking. he started to spiral out of control and went to JV for long periods of time during highschool. he keeps all of this secret of course and doesn't let anyone know how weak and how frail his spirit actually is. the truth is, elias is just a broken soul who really does belong in this world.
- truthful/blunt . elias says it as it is. he doesn't sugar coat anything. yes, the world is ending and most people are like that but he's always been that way. the way he looks at the world is that everyone is eventually going to die, it's better to face it now then later. If someone is clinging to a dead body that's just a ticking time bomb to turn into a zombie he'll tell them the honest truth. elias can come off as cold and heartless but this side comes out when his protective nature takes over. he doesn't care if someone starts screaming as they watch their sister turn into a walker, he'll be the one yelling to kill it before they become one too. he is the one who see's the cup half empty and doesn't believe the future will be bright and promising. he thinks it's a living hell and if you do die you will go to hell so there's not much difference in living or dying at this point.
- liar . elias has been to therapy in his correctional school and they have found he is a compulsive liar. they've tried many different approaches to try and cure his problem. at first, it was a rush just to get away with a lie. now that he has perfected his execution and let's just face it... the world isn't in the best shape right now. being a good liar is a trait that is a plus now. he knows his "problem" has now become a solution to many different problems he's encountered while on the road alone.
- secret softy . elias used to be a happy little boy before all the abuse started when he was five. he tried to cling onto that happy childhood when his father finally was banished from his life. this side of him peeks out from time to time but he hides it. he doesn't want to show his weaknesses and the truth is he wears his heart on his sleeve. if he really likes someone he'll start to slowly open up, not enough to reveal too much about him. but maybe enough so all you get is a sarcastic come back.

COMPLETE HISTORY: elias grew up in rhelms france and had only one younger sister who was one year younger than he was. his mother had always been a beautiful and caring young woman. her problem was she was roped into an abusive relationship that caused her to be terrified to leave it. elias' biological father threatened to kill her and the kids if she ever left him or told anyone about it. all he could remember from ages 1-5 was the foggy memories of his mother being beaten from not doing the dishes and taking a nap instead. he had to stand by and watch with his sister as his own father hurt their mother. elias wanted to intervene so many times but his mother would refuse to let him come between them. his mother was a nurse and she was fairly good at healing all her bruises really quickly with at home remedies.
when elias was five he did intervene once and that's when his father realized that he could use elias to hurt his mother more. he always made sure his sister was safe and away from all the drama. he would stand up for his mother and would get beaten. he would return to school with small bruises across his arms and neck. he would always wear longsleeve sweaters even in the summer to hide his bruises and cuts. he would do anything for his mother and if that meant taking a beating he would do anything for her. elias was strong and took anything he threw at him. he was terrified for his life, his mothers, and his sisters for the longest time. his father was a horrible guy and left often on business trips and that's when the poor family got a break from wearing longsleeves in the middle of july.
as elias grew older the abuse only got worse. he found himself in the ER one day when his father nearly choked him to death. he claimed that elias choked on a grape and passed out from lack of oxygen. that obviously wasn't the case because he had big finger/nail marks left on his neck. the point of which elias had to skip school so the kids wouldn't question his bruises when he was eight. his teachers started to question the family and really wanted to know what was happening to the poor laflamme family. elias made sure one thing never happened though, his sister would never be harmed. he adored his sister and she was like a therapist when he was growing up. always tending to his wounds when his mother was too weak too.
he learned to play guitar when he was ten and turned to music as an outlet to help him cope with all the pain he felt on the outside and on the inside. his uncle taught him most of what he knows now. he never told anyone about his father's abusive reign over the poor family. he would leave for weeks on end and never return and those would be the most blissful few weeks of their lives. it allowed their damaged bodies to recover and recooperate for when he returned.
his mother filed for divorce finally when he turned thirteen, he left without warning and he remembered them speaking in english (a language he didn't know very well at the time). he said something about another family. that was all elias heard before being pushed out of the room by his mother. she obviously didn't want him hearing any of it. he never heard much about him after that, the good thing was he left without any further arguments. their nightmare was over... for now.
when elias entered highschool he really started to spiral out of control. he had new found freedom he didn't have before. he started to smoke cigarettes and drink every weekend, he fell behind on homework (something he would normally keep up with). his life was now starting to spin out of control and his whole existence was devoted to forgetting the past. his mother was letting him go since he never really had the freedom before. he was a wild child who just wanted to forget, but forgetting wasn't as easy as he thought. he didn't think too much into his future and he found himself in and out of therapists offices his mother made him go too. she paid good money for these people to "help" elias but honestly she was just wasting her time. he wasn't getting any better with any of the help that they were providing him. the best thing for him at this point was to ride out his rebellious phase.
he was sent to many correctional institutes and many different teen drinking centers. nothing was fixing him still. his mother was honestly trying to get her little boy back. she didn't realize he was gone from the moment his father laid a hand on him. elias would still do anything for his mother but she didn't need his help anymore. she was now free and so was he. elias was lying more and more to his mother and to other people. she started to see that it was becoming more of a habit than something that was occasional. she decided to take further action by hiring someone who could help elias for his MANY problems. the list went on and on, at age 17 he was at his all time worse. elias now understood he needed to get his act together for the sake of his broken future.
elias went back to his outlet which was music and started to fall back into his school work. he graduated on time and his mother had never been so proud. elias quit drinking and stopped going to parties. when he turned 18 he realized his life was getting real and he needed to discover who he truly was. he realized he loved to play music so he started to play at a local restaurant every couple of days for some extra money.
---
when the outbreak first came out elias was at home watching the footage on the news. they had planned to go to london a couple of months prior to this news update. elias decided not to panic and the news said nothing about canceling any flights to london. he didn't wanna worry himself. they flew to london with a packed plane, people wondering if the news was true or not was up for debate the whole way there. he didn't wanna worry himself so he kept thinking it was only a joke. to his dismay, it wasn't a joke.
the plane landed in the airport and what he saw was absolute terror. he grabbed his mother and his sister and ran. he ran into an antique store that was nearby and broke the glass of an old sword of some sort. he also had a small army knife in his backpack that used to be his fathers, the one item he kept.
when they ran into trouble a gun would've been handy but of course, elias didn't have one. he only had one long bladed sword and the small knife he had. his mother had gone down and elias pushed a few walkers aside but couldn't get to her in time. when he cleared the walkers finally it was too late, she was already bitten. she had just enough time to tell him he had other siblings in london. he then kissed her goodbye and finished what needed to be done.
since then, elias has motivated himself to protect him and his sister. although, he has not seen his sister in weeks since she went on a trip to a few houses and never returned. he's been searching for her since.
