Eli has been plagued with the burden of everlasting life. He cannot die, thus forcing him to watch all he holds dear crumble around him. Azazel has also made him into his personal pet when it's all said and done.
|{Mentality}|
Eli is glad to be alive. He's looking forward to finishing high school, going off to college, and working at a mundane job. He thinks that this gift is heaven sent. However, he's wary of Azazel. It doesn't help that the guy is a demon that wants to feast on his soul, but he's given him a second chance. And although Azazel is a prick, Eli is thankful for the opportunity to truly appreciate life. Unfortunately, he will soon find that death would have been his best bet.

|{History}|
Throughout, Eli's life, he has been plagued with the burden of illness. For as long as he can remember, he's been in and out of hospitals, hoping for a cure. At the age of seven, he was diagnosed with a rare abnormality in his blood, thus plunging him into a life laden with pity and fear. Paranoid, his parents decided against having more children and focused a majority of their energy and funds into keeping Eli alive. They knew he'd be lucky to life pass sixteen. And as the years rolled by and time went on, his parent's fears only grew. He was sheltered; home-schooled by his mother because she was afraid to let him out of her sight.
Painful shots and a heart monitor later, Eli finds himself in a hospital bed yet again after a seizure at the dinner table. However, he's in a coma and there is a chance that he won't wake up. Within the confines of his mind, Eli's panicking. Everything is falling apart and he's just not ready...he just wants to be alive and healthy. And his parents...god, how are they going to take his death after all they did to keep him breathing? And as he inwardly mourns his life, a dark entity appears within his mind's eye introducing himself as Azazel.
