The display picture is also temporary until I can find an accurate picture of Elia goshdarnit.
Basic Information
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Rank: Oh boy... ummm... Wanderer. Purely because she acts FOR good, rather than actually IS good/neutral. Her actions are more of a rogue, but.... it's complicated.
Canon/OC: OC
Canon World/Face Claim: Traversing Worlds (WIP)
Cbox Name: Elia
Other Characters: Jaspar West, Darius Bellatino, Takasugi Shinsuke.
Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
Strength, stamina, agility: Elia is incredibly physically fit, having trained for her job as a Bounty Hunter since she was a little girl; courtesy of her father, Zachariah. Elia, though small, is stronger than most and can quite happily take on those much bigger than her.
Hand to hand combat: This came before weapons training, as her father didn’t exactly want a six year old handling guns. Elia is incredibly proficient in hand to hand combat, and again, can handle herself against those much bigger than her.
Weapons expertise: Elia can handle most weapons with skill, but her true talent lies with guns and has incredible aim. She can fire pistols in both hands with surprising accuracy and is a real threat to all at the other end of the barrel.
Focused: Elia has incredible focus, and will put her job and her duty before all else. Try messing with her whilst she’s on a hunt and you’ll regret it.
Weaknesses:
Human and squishy: She’s definitely mortal, and can wound. Whilst she’d carry on fighting regardless of injuries; there’s of course, a limit.
Short temper: Oh jeeze. Whilst she’ll rarely let her temper get in the way of her job, she is very irritable and snaps frequently at those that annoy her.
Pride: Elia, as previously mentioned, values her job before all else, and will quite happily suppress her own morals for ‘the good of the Society’.
Hydrophobia: This woman is not a fan of water, and will avoid it wherever possible. She hates boats with a fiery passion and good luck trying to get her to swim.
Haphephobia: Elia does not like being touched. Do so at your own peril.
Weapons And Equipment:
Guns: Elia never goes anywhere without her pistols, branded with the Nemamiah emblem. They are always holstered happily at her hips; ready for action.[/size]
Knives and small blades: She’ll always have a few hidden on her person.
Ammunition and upkeep packs: What kind of bounty hunter neglects the care of their equipment?!
A lighter: Very useful. Especially for the occasional cigarette.
Personal Information
Personality:
Comes across as bit of an elitist b*tch, with a foul mouth and an attitude to match. She likes to get her own way, and will quite happily manipulate others to get what she wants. She only ever takes orders from her superiors and expects those below her to take orders from her without question.
Has issues with trust and intimacy, but doesn’t have any issues with the fact she has no friends as she believes they’d get in the way of her career.
Elia is *incredibly* ambitious and work driven; she’d do anything to
advance her career.
Nemamiah Bounty Hunter Society means everything to her and dreams of one day being the best bounty hunter on Abraxias.
Fierce, stoic and proud, Elia Cartorv is certainly not your ordinary woman.
History:
Elia Cartorv lived with her mother and father in a secluded area of the Northern Continent, away from most other people. Her father thought this was safer for the two most important women in his life, as his job wasn’t the safest of professions and wanted his family to have the best possible life.
He was away a lot, but when he was around, he made sure he cherished every single moment; spoiling his wife with elaborate gifts and building Elia more and more extravagant assault courses and training ranges. Elia Cartorv was very *very* much a Daddies girl, and would do anything to spend more time with him.
At the age of eight, after an incident with a gun, Elia’s home tutor, and the kitchen cabinets; Elia went to live with her father at the Nemamiah Bounty Hunter Society leaving her mother behind. From that day onwards, Elia’s training intensified and soon grew into an intimidating young woman.
Through various trials, tribulations and traumatic life events, including her father going missing, Elia quickly climbed the ranks of the Society and soon found herself as the Captain of the 2nd Division; a high honour indeed for someone as young as herself.
She was allocated a certain Jaspar West as a mark at the age of 18 and has been hunting him on and off ever since.
Sample Post
“Now... now Elia, let’s not do anything rash,” Jaspar held up his hands submissively, standing in front of Sam in a protective manner.[/size]
“Decided to show up, Elia?” the hooded figure from before grinned cheekily, cloak cast aside and weapon drawn. His voice was relaxed but held no kind of warmth.
“Shut up, Christian,” the woman drawled, accent thick and threatening, “You saw what it were like in there!” She was small, but the definition of her musculature structure more than made up for her diminutive size regarding intimidation. Toned and focused, it was apparent that Elia was in peak physical condition and more than capable of bringing down a mark twice her size.
“Fair enough, shall we end this?”
“No! Wait, just... just wait!” Sam pushed his way in front of Jaspar, who looked absolutely terrified.
“What’s the matter, Smith? Thought we’d given up on you both? Didn’t it occur to you that perhaps we just had better things to do?” a very nasty smile stretched its way across Elia’s face, “You honestly think that my entire life revolves around you and that idiot over thar? Well, you are sorely mistaken,” she raised her gun to his head...
