Lucas and Elias

Elias's house was white, large, and well-kept, with a garden. His parents worked long hours, so he spent most of his time alone. He heard his own echoes far more often than his parents together. Because of this, Elias grew up withdrawn: he found it easier to interact with birds, stray cats, or the neighbor's dogs than with his peers. They were always there and would never leave. But for Lucas, it was the opposite. A small house, constant noise, a brother in one room, a younger sister with their parents, and a brother living in his own room, but soon moving into an apartment. Things were scattered all over the house, with nowhere to put them. There was barely enough money, but there was always someone laughing, arguing, or cooking at home. Every summer, the residents of the street held a small celebration in the courtyard. Long tables groaned with home-cooked food, children raced between the houses with water pistols, and adults discussed renovations, work, and the latest news. Lucas, as usual, couldn't sit still. He'd either snatch his brother's ball or argue with one of the neighborhood boys. But at some point, his gaze caught the blond boy sitting off to the side. Unusually for him, he wasn't playing with the others. Instead, he was silently petting a skinny ginger cat, as if no one else existed. "Why are you alone?" Lucas plopped down next to her on the grass. Elias carefully raised his head, seeing the stranger - he began to pet the cat again. — I'm fine alone.

• This is boring. I'm Lucas! At first, Elias was distant, speaking only briefly and to the point, but soon the boys were having fun, playing with each other and their shared imaginations. "I am the noble knight Kat! I need a healer who will accompany me on the most dangerous expeditions until death!" said Lucas, turning his jacket into a cloak. But then Elias approached and said, a little louder than usual:
• I am your faithful healer, Elias.
• Wow! Do you have the patience to heal me every battle?
• Yes! Don't doubt me!
• Then swear that you will not abandon me, despite the hardships and monsters!
• I swear on my heart. they started laughing

In his free time, Lucas is almost always at the computer. He loves video games, from competitive shooters to casual co-op games. Often, after an evening performance, he and Elias return home, make coffee, and play together until late at night, constantly arguing, laughing, and blaming each other for their losses.

Elias is a calm, reserved, and reasonable man. He dislikes unnecessary attention and rarely initiates conversation, but he is a keen listener and notices details that others miss. On stage, he completely surrenders to his role, which is why he is considered one of the theater's best actors. Offstage, he speaks softly, never raises his voice, and almost never loses his temper. He prefers caring actions to beautiful words. He rarely smiles, but when he does, it is sincere and warm. In relationships, he is patient, attentive, and tactile, used to expressing feelings through actions rather than confessions. He dislikes conflict but always protects those dear to him.

Elias grew up in a family of musicians, where discipline and hard work were valued above all emotions. From childhood, he was taught not to complain, not to argue, and to see things through to the end. He first appeared on stage as a child, but for a long time he didn't land leading roles, remaining in the shadow of more prominent performers. It was then that he learned patience and realized that true talent doesn't require grandiose words. Over time, Elias became one of the theater's most sought-after actors. Despite this recognition, he remained a humble man who values ​​sincerity, respect, and trust more than fame.

Elias is known for being demanding of himself. He can rehearse the same scene for hours until he's satisfied with the result. If he makes a mistake during a performance, he replays it in his head for a long time, even if no one else noticed. Despite his calm nature, Elias will stand up for a loved one without hesitation. He rarely argues for himself, but when someone offends those dear to him, he becomes surprisingly firm and principled. Behind his reserved exterior lies an incorrigible romantic. Elias remembers the favorite flowers, songs, and habits of those he cares about, and loves small but sincere gestures of affection. He may not be able to speak beautifully of his feelings, but he's excellent at showing them through his actions. Elias adheres to the old-fashioned views on relationships. He doesn't understand casual romances and will never pursue someone who doesn't reciprocate. For him, love is impossible without respect, trust, and time. Elias rarely talks about himself. Even people who have worked with him for many years know very little about his past. He's used to keeping his worries to himself and believes that personal problems shouldn't become someone else's burden. He lives each role so deeply that audiences often forget where the character ends and Elias himself begins. It is this ability that has made him one of the theater's finest actors.

Elias is passionate about film photography. On tour, he always carries an old camera with him, capturing backstage, empty stages, nighttime streets, and people in their most intimate moments. He almost never takes photographs for the sake of a beautiful shot—he prefers to capture emotions and memories. In his free time, Elias plays the piano. It helps him unwind after challenging performances and clear his head. He rarely plays in front of others, considering music too personal. After each trip, Elias buys a book by a local author in the language of the country he's visiting. His apartment has gradually transformed into a small library, and most of the books are marked in the margins. At home, Elias grows houseplants. He says they're easier to care for than people, and watching them grow helps him calm down after arduous rehearsals. Elias is passionate about tea ceremonies. He brings back new varieties of tea from every country and knows dozens of brewing methods. For him, it's a true ritual, allowing him to unwind from work. Besides performing, Elias is interested in the history of theater and restores old theater masks and props. He can spend hours poring over a cracked mask, restoring its former glory. He enjoys chatting about philosophical conversations and conspiracy theories. History is his main passion offstage. Elias believes that every era shapes a person in its own way, so before a new role, he can spend weeks studying historical documents, the memoirs of contemporaries, etiquette, and the peculiarities of speech and everyday life of that era. He often visits museums while touring and brings home books on the history of various countries as souvenirs. He is often seen near a museum, whether popular or not.

A tall, blond man with wheat-colored hair, light blue eyes, and expressive, thick eyebrows, he has a slender, toned build, neat features, and a calm, slightly cool gaze. In public, he always appears well-groomed and elegant. A small mole under the left eye or near the corner of the lips. You can barely notice a thin scar on his right eyebrow (he got it as a child or while fencing for a role). Long fingers with barely noticeable calluses from playing the piano. Light eyelashes that make his gaze appear softer when he smiles. Almost always cold hands. He's a cold man, so he dresses warmly, even in hot weather. His skin is white. He wears coats and trench coats. Turtlenecks, shirts. Straight trousers. White sneakers or classic boots. Watches instead of jewelry. In black, white, beige, and light colors.

Elias is the only child in a wealthy family. His parents achieved their high status through their own hard work and instilled in their son good manners, discipline, and respect for others from childhood. Despite their wealth, he was never indulged: every passion required diligence, and any success had to be earned. When Elias announced his desire to become an actor, his parents were surprised but did not interfere with his choice. They supported him, allowing him to pursue his own career without relying on family connections or influence. This is why Elias considers all his achievements to be solely the result of his own hard work. His father owns a large architectural firm and investment holding company. His mother is an art historian, pianist, and philanthropist, so it was she who instilled in him a love of history, museums, and art. As a child, he learned to play the piano, studied foreign languages, and took up fencing and horseback riding. Not because he had to, but because his parents strove to provide him with a well-rounded education. As an only child, his parents always devoted their attention to him. They didn't spoil him, but he simply never had to share someone else's love or care. Because of this, in a relationship he unconsciously wants to be the only one.

Lucas is passionate about cocktail making. During tours, he makes a point of visiting local bars, chatting with bartenders, and memorizing unusual recipes. After performances, he's often the one who gathers the entire troupe around a table to experiment with new drinks. Lucas has been playing billiards since his youth and rarely misses the opportunity to visit a club while on tour. For him, it's not so much a competition as a way to relax and meet new people. Lucas plays the guitar. He doesn't consider himself a musician, but he enjoys putting on small impromptu concerts after performances when the entire troupe gets together.

There, he also produces a bass voice and can squeal like a girl. He rarely sings a song all the way to the end, exactly as it was intended.

Lucas never lets people mock this memory. If someone learns the tattoo's true story and starts joking, he becomes serious for the first time. He winks rarely, but he winks accurately! He also enjoys physical touch, often touching, stroking, and whispering in his ear.

Family holidays, if possible. Lucas never forgets to wish his younger sister a happy birthday, even if he's on the other side of the world. He sends her lots of gifts, writes to her every day, and texts his family, sending videos and photos of himself out and about. He also visits them on vacation, forgetting about work and his problems. Family is one of the few places where Lucas can stop being an artist and just be himself.
