FASDLKJFDÖKJA.....I need to revamp this guy soooooooooooo badly :iconmingplz:

The doll next to him is Chalotte, his doll no. 4 (it's no ranking, it just indicates that this is the fourth doll he has made)

here is the link to his sister Lauren [link] :D



N a m e :
Elliot (no surname known)

A g e :
14

S p e c i e s :
human

F a c t i o n :
Black faction

J o b s :
Puppeteer (well, a special one ;D), as it is more that he lets the dolls become alive for a period of time than really playing them.

P e r s o n a l i t y :

Funny (at least others think so, Elliot sometimes really does not understand, why everyone is laughing, when he says something)
Easily bored
Mischivious
Lazy
Caring (especially for his dolls)
His thoughts elsewhere
Sympathetic
Adventurous
Sometimes reserved


Elliot is rather strange.
He somehow is mischivious but the next moment you are asking yourself, how this boy could plan such jokes as he appears very naive or seems to be with his head elsewhere or just without any sign of emotions. Then on the other hand he can be really social, talks and laughs a lot with others. This depends on his mood.
But most of the time he is a pretty normal thirteen year old. Well, as much as the situation allows that, travelling with a circus (and being a bit freaky in general)
The only ones who know his very true character are his sister and the dolls, who, however, don’t have a real soul, so maybe let’s not count them.
One of his characteristics is, that he talk very bluntly, too. He just says what he thinks or does not talk at all, he almost never lies. What for?, he thinks, why should I lie?
He likes every kind of dolls (the living ones, too. But I feel a bit sorry for those, because Elliot might annoy them sometimes. He really is fascinated by them, nearly as much as playing his own ones.)
Elliot is a nice guy and likable - if you get to know him better. You get used to his strange attitude and a bit crazy character.
(more tba)


H i s t o r y :
As Elliot is rather young, there is not much of a history to tell. (Why is it so long then? D: )

He and his sister Lauren were brought into an orphanage when he was only two years old, because their mother was addictet to alcohol and wasn’t able to care for her children anymore. (About the father there is nothing known).
Whereas Lauren remebers at least some few things of their mother, Elliot remembers nothing from this time. He only knows what happened during the time they lived in the orphanage.
It really was not that bad, they had a place to sleep, enough to eat and there were other children they could play with.

Elliot already had a fable for dolls when he was little. Because of that he has been bullied some time long, but of course no one saw or relized, that he could already move the hands and fingers of dolls without touching them. Elliot found this fascinating, for a little kid this was just as good as magic.
His liking for dolls grew and grew and by and by he managed to move more limbs of the puppets until he could almost make them stand straight.
His sister Lauren found out, but she didn’t think this was scary, at least now there was an explanation for the sometimes strange behaviour of her brother and she thought this ability was interesting and somehow cool.

Lots of couples were visiting the orphanage, they wanted to adopt children there and some were even interested in adopting lLauren and Elliot together. But as Elliot talks rather bluntly, even with adults, or he behaves just “normal”, which appears strange to others, many did not want a child like him, even if Lauren tried very hard to make them both look nice and adorable.

Someday a woman came together with his husband to the orphanage and fell in love with Lauren at once. She even had no problem with the two coloured eyes, she even said this would be something special. But she had no interest in Elliot. Not just because he was a strange little boy, but sche wanted to adopt just one child and preferably a girl.
Until now, whenever someone wanted to adopt just one of the siblings (you can imagine, most of the time it was Lauren they wanted, but Elliot did not care, wether some adults wanted him or not, as long as he could stay together with his only family) they managed to stay together, so Lauren just rejected going with the person who wanted to adopt her. And this time again, she wanted to stay with her brother, she felt like having to care for him and she, too, didn’t want to be seperated from her only known relative, her lovely brother.
Elliot encouraged her to say “no”, too, he didn’t want her to leave, but the sister (it was an orphanage organised by a nonnary) talked to Elliot and persuaded him to let Lauren go, as the couple was, well, not exactly rich, but wealthy enough to provide a respectable life for Lauren with everything she needed and “parents” who would love her.

Elliot accepted this, as he now thought he would harm Lauren if he pushed her to stay.
He then made her promise to stay in touch with him and get him out of this boring orphanage (without his sister and the dolls there would be nothing interesting anymore) when she would be old enough.
This moved her very much and she promised him this but could not sleep all night. Actually she did not want to leave her brother, exactly how he did not want her to leave him.
The next day Lauren told Elliot her plan: They should flee.
She knew where to get some money from and as Elliot liked adventures and was a bit mischivous himself, he just stole some of the money of the nonnary. Enough to survive a respectable time on your own, but not that much to be noticed at once.
They pretended to go for a last walk together the same evening and never came back.

They lived for about two months on the street. At first it was easy with the money they had, but when it got less and less they had to earn money themselves.
Luckily Elliot mastered to play the puppets and has taken his favourite one with them, all this time he refused to sell the doll and now it was useful. They earned a bit of money with this everyday, enough to get something to eat, but that was all. They had to sleep in tresholds or under bridges and were desperate. He was happy though, when doing his puppet shows.
Lauren was searching for a job she could do at this age (12), too, but it was very hard.

Some day a guy saw Elliot playing and Lauren calling out and encouraging the people to come nearer and watch. He realized his potential and offered Elliot to come with him to the circus. He and Lauren were desperate and went with the man, Elliot had refused to go without his sister and the guy said she could come, too, of course .

From this time on Elliot has built his own dolls (with some help of book, Lauren and some magicians from the circus, who were so kind to help him out), nearly as big as real humans and trained with them.
It’s a mistery, how he plays them, as it seems like magic, but if he was a socerer, he would be able to do more tricks, but he can just play his puppets. They seem to be alive, during the show or when he plays them for fun in his free time, they talk and all have their own kind of personality, but when Elliot stops, this impression vanishes and you ask yourself if this might have been just imagination.
At first his dolls were not able to speak, but Elliot found out how to built a mechanical device which works similar to humans' vocal cords.

He has not made lots of friends during this time as he has always been busy with building dolls and he's taking part in the perfomances for about one and a half year now. At first only with one doll (Emmeline) but now he performs with at least two dolls at once.

Right now at the moment, Elliot has this crazy plan to learn how to play real people like his dolls and trains on this (with modest results)


L i k e s :
sweets
popcorn
dolls (especially his own ones)
his sister
applause & the astonished faces of customers
spring and winter (yeah, it just doesn't fit to his faction...)
warm summer rain
people who are a bit like himself...(you can imagine this chaos when two guys like this meet...)


D i s l i k e s :
hard work
boredom
being yelled at (he ignores that, however. It is just so loud…)
scissors
his sister exeggarating (he has nothing done, why is she so nervous, he just said that the dog of this lady looks like a rat with lots of hair. That’s true, so why does Lauren look at him like that?)

F a m i l y :
older sister: Lauren

R e l a t i o n s h i p s :
Lauren: sister
Kaylen (by :iconazuyasai:) : girlfriend my little babu has found a girl he reeeeaaally likes....Should I be proud or worried???//slapped

M I S C/O t h e r I n f o r m a t i o n:
For every one of his dolls he has a silver pendant with the doll’s number, pinned to the front pocket of his vest.
You almost think he is in love with his dolls and that might be the reason, how he can make them look so much alive.
It sometimes really is funny to watch him and his dolls, every one of them with his or her own "personality" and "characteristics", the doll might even like or hate you and this is not necissaryly controlled by Elliot. One of his puppets even commands him around and thinks: Well, he made me. Well, he "plays" me. Then he can do everything else for me, too, just like a personal servant, I deserve this (yeah, she's a little diva). Not every doll is aware, that he/she is not actually alive or surpresses this fact. At the moment he has 4 different puppets (and works on a 5. one when he is not busy or feels like doing so)

It's kind of funny, but as Elliot has different outfits for his performances, his dolls get dressed in different clothes, too.
HIs sister Lauren helps him a lot with tailoring these costumes (in fact she does almost everything except the design, and Lauren even DOES the design for Elliot's clothes...).
Charlotte (Elliot's fourth doll) is rather picky when it comes to her outfits, sometimes she even argues with Lauren because of that, but Elliot, who would have thought this, does not interfere. This is one of those moments, when you think his dolls are alive and you hardly notice him moving his fingers at all. It really is not well known, how his skill works and wether his dolls have or have not their own personality, at least it seems so.

Doll No. 1: Emmeline
Doll No. 2: (cat like, it looks like a cat walking on it's hind legs) Coco
Doll No. 3: Lyria (this is a guy, by the way)
Doll No. 4: Charlotte
Doll No. 5: still in work
