Usually unusual person
Eli has never cried, or laughed. He has emotions, he just never expresses them. Considering his warped sense of humour, this would make him an excellent comedian. If it wasn't for the fact that he still doesn't like people. He is, as he has said himself, the ultimate racist. He doesn't like the human race, period. As a species he finds them unredeemable. However, there are a few that are decent, dotted here and there, but he still believes that in the universe's best interest, they should be wiped out. This ideology became valid once he discovered his unusual ability, therefore allowing himself to claim to finally be of a different species.
Changes/Powers/Abilities: Eli has the ability to 'meld' with objects, allowing him to occupy the same point in space and time, while maintaining an epathic link with said object for the duration.
Pros: Eli can go nearly anywhere, escape nearly evertything, and survive nearly anything.
Cons: should anything befall the melded object, Eli with share damage and has only limited perception. Also, upon exiting an object, he will be subject to a brief moment of disorientation.
Within the various pockets contained within his clothing, Eli has a variety of trinkets, including a cigarette lighter, several well-used notebooks, at least one beer at all times, small stones, bottle caps, a plastic fork.... And so on.
While Elijah is a curious character, his story is pretty basic. Born from a rich family, and being a total disgrace to them, at the age of 18 he was sent off with a wad of cash, and a refilling banc account, to go and live somewhere else, far away. He did so quite happily.
However, a year later, after discovering a lump on his arm, he admitted himself into hospital for cancer treatment. The chemotherapy was successful, but cost him his hair and scarred his left arm. Several months after that, he first discovered his unique power.
His permanent supply of money permits him to do what he wants all day, every day. Which is mostly wandering around, and playing about with his power every occasion he gets.
