appearance

Despite his constant attempts at hiding it, Asley's Elliot's hair is as curly as the day is long. He keeps it cut short so that the majority of his twirls stay reasonably secure upon his scalp. If one strand ever does stray (such as in times of high humidity), Elliot has in his possession an arsenal of assorted hair products to right such travesties. Such meticulous behaviour over hair would make many think Elliot was a vain boy, which is true, to a degree, but only because of a crippling self-consciousness he's had since he was a child... but that's for the Personality section.
Reasonably tall for his age after having reached puberty a year earlier than most boys, Elliot is often thought of as older than he is. He tries to inflate this image by wearing flashy blazer jackets and a great deal of aftershave. His attempts at maturity are undermined, however, by his voice, which is currently in the process of breaking and hence is of the 'squeaky voiced teen' variety.
As far as attractiveness goes Elliot is situated in the comfortable band of 'all right looking'. This is mainly due to the fact that his skin is almost void of any blemishes and his eyes are like his mother's. He does come off as quite lanky though because of his height, and he also has a slightly uncoordinated look about him.

personality

Elliot is a particularly self-conscious boy. He is constantly thinking about how others think of him, wishing to be liked by everyone else (or perhaps more popular, more intelligent and more attractive than everyone else). This can sometimes make him a bit of a push over when it comes to doing favours for others, especially when it comes to doing favours for those that are older, more popular, or more attractive than himself. Whenever Elliot becomes aware of his push over nature however, he quickly reverts to the exact opposite for a day or two. He hopes that this sudden shift in personality would make him appear like the wild, unpredictable type. Instead it often makes him look like a moody teen, which, for all accounts and purposes, he is.
Thanks to his recent growth spurt Elliot has become quite unaware of the length of his limbs and he often thrashes them about the place willy-nilly. Therefore he is quite a clumsy boy, which is yet another source of embarrassment to be added to the ever-growing list (and yes there is a list).
Relationship-wise Elliot is clueless, but like most fourteen-year-old boys he likes to pretend not to be. Often he talks about his sexual conquests with older women, all of which occurred (quite conveniently) before his arrival at Somnium. His dream (aside from becoming the most popular boy in school) is to be with an older woman outside of his own lies. If the moment ever were to arise however, Elliot would be completely petrified.
Elliot is a perpetual liar, not only about his relationships but about most other things too. A lie to him is easier than the truth and he has a tendency to lie when it is complete unnecessary, especially when placed under pressure. This habit frequently gets him into trouble, which he usually makes worse by lying some more.
But it's not all bad for Elliot. He is a friendly boy after all, no matter how superficially so. He's easy enough to warm to and can be quite amusing in a self-deprecating sort of way. He's also dedicated in a sense that he will continuously strive for a rung on the popularity ladder, but this dedication does sometimes seep to more useful activities such as maintaining a reasonable quality of education. Elliot is not stupid, in fact he can sometimes have sudden flashes of inspiration and creativity, especially when it comes to weaving gross fabrications. This gift with storytelling makes him particularly good at English.

HISTORY:

Elliot was born to a very young unmarried couple. His father, Dave, and his mother, Angela, were sweethearts in school and after a wild night of drunken passion, during which no protection was worn, Elliot was conceived. After hearing about his girlfriend's impending child Dave quickly fled, leaving Angela and her parents (who were always very supportive, albeit very disappointed) to raise Elliot.
Angela, despite being a single mother, was a very promiscuous woman and she had a great deal of admirers. When Elliot was four he and his mother moved out of his grandparent's home to live in a place of their own. Elliot soon learnt to grow up with the knowledge that his mother was 'pretty freakin' sexy', something that Angela's various suitors often stated to Elliot when she was out of the room. Having people tell you how hot your mother is has never been something young boys enjoyed hearing and Elliot soon came to detest all the men who gave his mother even a lingering glance.
Angela, on the other hand, relished in the attention. She was young after all, having only had Elliot when she was just eighteen. Luckily for Elliot however, none of Angela's suitors were ever in it for the long run. That was until she met Geoffrey when Elliot was thirteen years old.
Geoffrey was a divorced barrister with a whole lot of money and two grown up children. They met whilst Angela was working as a waitress in a high-end restaurant in London (a job she managed to secure by doing questionable things for her employer). Geoffrey instantly fell for her beauty and, since he was going through a mid-life crisis as well a messy divorce and felt he had nothing more to lose, spontaneously asked her out. To his surprise she accepted (at that time Angela was going through an older men phase and thought that Geoffrey could be her Sean Connery).
After six months of irregular dinner dates and regular sex, Geoffrey proposed and Angela eagerly accepted. Angela moved into Geoffrey's large town house with a disgruntled Elliot in tow, much to the chagrin of Geoffrey's two adult children, Patrick and Bridget, who scoffed that Angela was just an obsession that would pass after their father completed his deluded, post-divorce phase of life. They also weren't all too friendly to Elliot but fortunately, since they were both adults, they rarely spent time at their father's home.
It was on Elliot's fourteenth birthday that Angela and Geoffrey decided to apply for him to attend Somnium Academy. Elliot happily agreed to go, if just to get away from the squeaking mattresses of a newly wed couple's home.

dream form

In a terrible case of distorted Oedipus complex, Elliot's dream form is that of his mother at age eighteen. He is fully aware of himself in this form, although he is not entirely in control of it. His dream form goes by his true first name, Ashley, and is very much like a younger version of his mother (or at least Elliot's warped view of what a younger version of his mother would be like from the lewd accounts of her many lovers).
Ashley's power is stronger than Elliot's in the Dream World, although Elliot does have the ability change her actions and her words at times. When his control is weak Elliot sits as an observer in Ashley's head, seeing and hearing through Ashley's eyes and ears. He can speak as himself but only to Ashley, for him to speak out loud he would have to overpower Ashley's own consciousness and speak using her mouth. Some nights he has more control, other nights he is entirely a spectator.
