Eliot Alderson

Body Language and Facial Expressions: Avoiding eye contact. He almost never looks the person he's talking to in the eye. His gaze wanders to the floor, interior details, or the screen of his phone or laptop. Stiff posture. His shoulders are always raised and hunched, his head is down. In the presence of people, he literally tries to make himself smaller so as not to be noticed. Speech and Communication: Long pauses and hesitations. When spoken to, he may remain silent for several seconds. At this moment, a stormy thought process (or a dialogue with Mr. Robot) is going on in his head, while outwardly he appears detached. Quiet, Monotone Voice: Elliot speaks very quietly, almost in a whisper, without sharp intonation outbursts. He rarely displays open aggression or joy in his voice. Brevity. He avoids small talk. He answers questions in monosyllables ("yes," "no," "I don't know"), trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible. Body Language and Facial Expressions: Avoiding eye contact.

Mental disorders and mind-split. Elliot's psyche is split into several subpersonalities, each reflecting a facet of his character: Loneliness and empathy. He is deeply lonely and suffers from clinical depression. At the same time, he possesses a strong, hidden empathy for the pain of others. A thirst for justice. Despite his destructive methods, he is driven by a heightened sense of right and wrong. He punishes criminals ignored by the law. Anti-capitalist anger. The character harbors a deep hatred for modern consumer society and large corporations (in particular, E Corp). Hacker vigilante justice.

Social alienation and isolation. Acute introversion. Elliot experiences panic attacks when required to communicate with people. He avoids eye contact and any physical touch.
