Elliot

*Name: Elliot (Ellie) Wolfe.

• Age: 24 years old.

*Height/weight: Height: 178 cm. Weight: 62 kg (slender but wiry build).

• Occupation:
  Freelance graphic designer and illustrator. Also works part-time as an assistant at an independent art gallery.

*Face: Expressive, aristocratic features. High cheekbones, a sharp chin, a clear jawline. Thin, straight nose. Full, slightly chapped lips.

• Skin: Porcelain pale, abundantly dotted with small red freckles, especially on the bridge of the nose, cheeks and neck.

*Eyes: Deep, penetrating, dark gray-green. The gaze often appears absent or introspective.

• Hair: Vibrant, rich copper/fiery red. Textured, tousled, medium-length. The sides are shaved, creating a crisp undercut that contrasts with the volume on top.

Overall impression: Androgynous, strong, spiky beauty that combines the softness of freckles with the sharpness of haircut/tattoos.

Withdrawn, introverted, and contemplative, he possesses a keen mind and deep empathy, which he carefully conceals behind a cold exterior. He is prone to melancholy and introspection. He may appear arrogant or detached, but is actually simply observing. Stubborn and independent, he values ​​personal space above all else. He is deeply vulnerable, but hides this behind cynicism and irony. He is not afraid to break social norms if he considers them meaningless. He is a creative soul with destructive tendencies during times of stress.

Elliot grew up in a small, conservative town, where his striking appearance and unconventional thinking made him a target for bullying from an early age. This taught him to build impenetrable walls and rely only on himself. His family was cold and emotionally distant, which fostered his independence but also left him with a deep sense of loneliness. As a teenager, Elliot found refuge in art and informal subcultures, which gave him a way to express himself and find his "kin." Moving to the big city was liberating, but his defensive nature remained. The tattoo on his neck (a Cerberus) symbolizes his inner duality: the guardian of his own boundaries and his hidden, aggressive defense.

*Art: Postmodernism, avant-garde photography, abstract painting (especially the work of Francis Bacon), collaging old magazines.

• Mythology and Symbolism: Studies the symbolism of ancient cultures, especially animal myths and transformations. This is related to his tattoo.

*Urban Exploration: Loves to infiltrate abandoned buildings and factories, exploring the "scars" of the city. Finds the beauty of decay in this.

• Music: Searching for rare vinyl records in the genres IDM, experimental, dark ambient.

*Reading: Dystopias, philosophical essays, beatnik poetry.

• People-watching: Can sit in cafes for hours and paint psychological portraits of strangers.

*Likes: Coffee without sugar (black, strong), craft beer, vegan or vegetarian food with a strong flavor (spicy Asian cuisine), dark chocolate.

• Dislikes: Animal food, sweet carbonated drinks, mass-market fast food, dishes with a "rubbery" texture.

*Likes: Authenticity, calmness, ability to listen, sense of humor, intellectual courage.

• Dislikes: Loudness and intrusiveness, passive aggression, hypocrisy, violation of personal boundaries, insincerity, attempts to change him.

*Likes: Deep black (as a base), monochrome (from white to gray), cool shades of steel and stone, accents in the color of a stormy sky or rust.

• Dislikes: Bright, "flashy" colors (acid shades), candy pink, overly colorful prints.

Likes/dislikes (movies, books):
*Likes: Arthouse, independent cinema (Lynch, Trier, Jarmusch), psychological thrillers, sci-fi with a philosophical subtext. Books: Kafka, Murakami, Dick.

• Dislikes: Romantic comedies, superhero movies (considers them too predictable), biographical dramas with formulaic plots, fantasy.

*Likes: Autumn and spring. Rainy, cloudy weather, fog. Twilight. Winter sun.

• Dislikes: Hot summer, bright sunny day (without sunglasses), stuffiness.

A small but cozy industrial-style studio in the old part of town. High ceilings, large windows.

*Interior: Eclectic, with a predominance of concrete, metal, wood, and antique brick. The colors are monochrome, with accents of black, gray, and wood. The furniture is minimalist and functional, with many vintage finds.

• Zones: The space is not divided by blank walls.

*Work area: A huge light wood desk covered with sketches, paints, and a graphics tablet. Nearby is a bookcase with books and vinyl records.

• Relaxation area: A distressed leather sofa, a low coffee table with a collection of succulents, and a large ethnic-patterned rug.

Sleeping area: Separated by a light shelving unit or curtain. A low bed covered in thick, solid-color fabrics. Kitchen: Open, small, but functional. Everything seems tastefully chosen, with nothing superfluous.

Features: Books, art albums, collections of dried branches, and odd stones he collects are everywhere. His own works and posters of his favorite films and exhibitions adorn the walls. Records and art objects litter the floor. It's very clean, yet still feels like a creative mess. The lighting is soft and subdued, provided by a few spotlights and table lamps.

*Alone: ​​Rooftops of abandoned buildings, embankments early in the morning, small coffee shops away from the center where you can sit for a long time with a book or sketchbook.

• With friends (rarely, a small group): Underground bars and clubs with electronic music, art exhibitions, picnics in the park on a weekday.

Likes: Comfortable, functional, androgynous style with elements of grunge and gothic. Oversized clothing, layering, thick natural fabrics. Black coats, distressed jeans, leather jackets, chunky boots. Metal chains that accentuate a thin neck. Dislikes: Clothing that restricts movement, overly bright colors, brand logos (prefers "no name" or second-hand finds), formal suits (makes her feel out of place).

His voice is deep, slightly husky, and quiet. He speaks slowly, weighing each word. He dislikes idle chatter. With friends, he can be more open, even ironic, but generally maintains his distance. With strangers, he is polite but cool, limiting himself to a minimum of words. He avoids direct eye contact, preferring to look "through" his interlocutor or to study the surroundings. He considers silence a natural form of communication.

He doesn't have a pet. His life is too spontaneous for regular care of a living creature, and he values ​​silence too much. He may feed stray cats, but he doesn't keep any at home.

*Outsiders: He's a mystery to them. An invisible barrier. He may seem shy, but it's more of a detachment. He answers questions in monosyllables and doesn't seek to make new acquaintances.

• Friends: His circle of friends is extremely small; they are the same "black sheep" as he is. Relationships with them are characterized by a deep, silent understanding, shared interests, and support in times of crisis. But even with close friends, he maintains an emotional distance. It takes a long time before he begins to share his feelings.

For Elliot, falling in love is a contradictory state. He becomes even more withdrawn, yet at the same time, he can't take his eyes off the object of his affection (if he's at a safe distance). He begins to express interest through art, giving away his drawings or sketches, recommending music or books. He can become more emotional, which is unusual for him. He tries to be close, but not intrusive. Jealousy doesn't manifest itself outwardly, but as a cold detachment. Declaring his love is a difficult, painful process for him.

*Tattoos: On the right side of his neck is a stylized image of Cerberus (the three-headed dog), done in a graphic style with harsh, jagged lines. It symbolizes his inner protection and aggressive response to threats.

• Piercings: Two hoops in his left ear, one massive with a small clear crystal, the other thin. He also has a small black tunnel in his left ear.

Accessories: Silver chains of varying thicknesses around the neck, intertwined. Several silver or blackened metal rings on the fingers. Perhaps a thin leather belt with a massive buckle.

Fetishes: Emphasis on emotional connection and trust (deception or coercion are absolutely taboo). Aesthetics and atmosphere. Dominance through submission (on his part) or, conversely, complete relaxation if he trusts his partner. Possibly elements of mild kink (bondage, mild pain, if part of a game of trust and consent). Control over the situation. Taboos: Any violence (including psychological), lack of consent, publicity, carelessness, or lack of aesthetics.

Behavior: For him, sex is an act of revealing not only the body but also the soul, so it happens rarely and only with very close people. During intimacy, he can be passionate, yet focused and sensitive. For him, it's not just the physical sensations that matter, but the intensity of sensations and the emotional response. He can initiate exploration of new facets of sensuality, but only if it deepens the relationship.

Smoking (e-cigarettes or high-quality tobacco), the habit of biting lips or nails during periods of intense stress, a tendency to isolate during periods of mental decline.

He's very expressive, yet reserved. His standard defensive posture is his arms crossed over his chest. He avoids direct eye contact. He often touches the chains around his neck or the rings in his ears. When drawing or deep in thought, his body becomes completely still. His movements are quick and precise when he's busy, and slow and deliberate when he's at rest. He often adopts a closed posture, turning away, or taking a step back if approached too closely.

Elliot has an extremely small social circle. His friends are fellow loners and outcasts who have gravitated toward each other and formed a kind of flock. Their bond is built on silent understanding, complete acceptance of each other's eccentricities, and respect for personal boundaries. He has only two best friends:

1. Nick (Nicholas) - "Chaotic Rebel"
   Personality: The complete opposite of the reserved Elliot, Nick is explosive, expressive, and loud. He works as a sound engineer at an underground club, constantly getting into adventures, generating crazy ideas, and adoring the spotlight. Yet, beneath his bravado lies a keen intuition and devotion. Their connection: Nick is the only person allowed to violate Elliot's personal boundaries. He can show up at his studio unannounced with a box of pizza and a new record. Elliot grumbles and rolls his eyes, but never sends Nick away.
   Relationship: Nick "pulls" Elliot out of his shell, forcing him to occasionally go out into the world, and Elliot serves as Nick's anchor, bringing him back to reality when he starts to drift off. They share a brotherly bond built on contrasts: one is fire, the other is ice.

2. Kira - "The Cynical Pragmatist"
   *Personality: A cool, cerebral woman who specializes in antique book restoration and bookbinding. She has a dry, caustic sense of humor and an analytical mind. She dislikes sentimentality and values ​​actions over words.

• Their connection: They bonded over a shared love of silence, textures, and old things. Kira understands Elliot's need for silence better than anyone. They can sit in the same room for hours, each doing their own thing, without saying a word to each other, yet feel completely comfortable.
  Relationship: Their communication is devoid of drama. If Elliot retreats into deep isolation due to a mental decline, Kira won't bombard him with messages—she'll simply send a box of his favorite coffee or a rare art publication to his doorstep, knowing he'll understand the gesture. In this trio, Kira is the voice of reason and sober calculation.

Trio dynamics
The three of them rarely gather together—usually in Elliot's workshop or on an abandoned rooftop. Their dynamic is built on Nick speaking for everyone, Kira commenting with sarcastic remarks, and Elliot observing from the sidelines, occasionally interjecting a well-aimed, caustic remark. They never pry into each other's souls, but each knows that if one of them hits rock bottom, the others will emerge without further ado.
