Your character. Why is your character the way that they are?
ELI JAMES IV
Eli grew up in a southern religious home. His family started off mostly poor by materialistic standards but had lots of property/land through out the United States. Following Eli's grandfather, his father had begun to sell some property to various people and companies to become wealthy quick. He also used part of some other land to produce crop for companies which became a steady stream of extra income. They kept their living very simple, but were very wealthy.

Eli had decided that life and religion wasn't for him, so he vanished and joined the Marines. He received a honorable discharge after several years. He then joined a biker gang somewhere in California (it's never said which gang) and learned about loyalty, trust, family, etc. He received word that his father was deathly ill and left his biker brothers behind to go home to aid his father whom he has not spoken or seen in several years.

Eli was seen as the prodical son from the New Testament story told by Jesus. Many many years ago, there was a prophesy spoken in their old small hometown church that Eli James IV would take the gospel to dark places and spread the message of the Lord. Once Eli returned, it was seen as fulfillment to this prophesy and they reminded him of the words spoken over him by many people. No one knows the final words spoken between Eli and his father, but Eli took this death as a reason to get him back home and fulfill this new calling. He studied all religions and saw a vision of what he should do.

People often associate him as being a Christian because of the way he talks, quotes from the Bible, etc., however he's never said what 'religion' he's a part of. In fact, he thinks the Bible has truth but has some errors in it and he's correcting them with the Book of Eli.

ELISHA
One of my real life friends used the character Eric Rex here, then decided to join me. He couldn't continue due to his work schedule, so I took control of the character. Eric Rex was a former military man himself and became a mercenary. This is one reason Eric and Eli got along well, but Eric still didn't trust Eli. Eric ended up losing all his friends to the influence of Eli and thus resulted in attacks on Eric by Eli's people. Eli renamed Eric Rex as Elisha, and placed him in a dark place which transformed Eric into a strange monster.

Elisha had problems talking, so his 11 year old 'mother' who use to be Eric Rex's adopted girl, spoke for Elisha.. and at times Elisha would 'speak through her'. Eli eventually took Lacey away, and gave Elisha a baby doll instead that he also calls Lacey. He started to speak to her and through her as well. I just rp'd as him with a few changes that are going on.

WALTER "WALDO" WILCOX
I started Waldo as a nervous scaredy cat who is lonely and wants to have friends. I've changed him a bit to be cocky, into himself, and a sneaky perv who is obsessed with women.

BROCK LENSAR
Self explanatory.

What inspired you?
ELI JAMES IV
Bray Wyatt, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, O Brother Where Art Thou, and a few other things.

ELISHA
The ventriloquist villain from batman cartoon, the Joker (heath ledger), and some poetry I've written in the past.

BROCK LESNAR
I began to workout in the gym, plus I'm a big MMA fan and like Brock Lesnar.

WALTER "WALDO" WILCOX
Stranger than Fiction and Johnny Curtis from NXT days.

Do you love writing for your character?
Yes for all of them. Brock and Waldo are more tough. Brock is tough because he doesn't talk a lot and this is a roleplay. Waldo is tough because of the complete mind change from Eli and Elisha to that.
