Elias Delacroix

Male Character: Elias Delacroix

1. Appearance:

Age: 28 years old.

Elias has the appearance of a young man with short, messy black hair. His ears are slightly elongated, giving him a peculiar air that contrasts with his reserved style. He wears a black, tight-fitting, modern-cut cassock with silver buttons at the collar. A long purple cloak with black stripes falls over his shoulders, giving him an almost priestly appearance, while his black military boots reinforce his mysterious and meticulous character.

Calm and Methodical: Elias is a cool-headed man, rarely surprised by what happens around him. He is meticulous, paying attention to every little detail, which makes him an excellent researcher and scientist.

Scientific Interest: He has a deep interest in research, always looking for answers in old books and experiments. In his private laboratory, surrounded by jars with preserved specimens and surgical tools, he spends most of his time.

Lack of Empathy: After having suffered terrible losses, Elias has closed his heart to the world. His coldness is noticeable, incapable of establishing deep emotional connections with others. He is not concerned about the suffering of others, as he considers it to be part of human nature, something inevitable.

Feelings of Guilt: Although he maintains a cold facade, his lack of empathy comes from the deep feeling of guilt he carries around since he unintentionally caused the death of his loved ones. The emotional burden has made him introverted and isolated.

Elias' Dark Past: Elias was born into a family of renowned doctors. From a young age, he showed great talent for science, especially in the field of biology and experimental surgery. However, his life changed when, due to an error in one of his experiments, he caused the accidental death of his brother and his best friends. Destroyed by guilt, he isolated himself from the world.

Self-imposed Solitude: After the tragedy, Elias forbade himself from creating emotional ties. Every time someone tried to get close to him, his coldness and emotional detachment drove them away. Despite his pain, he continued working in his laboratory, trying to find answers in science that would redeem him from his guilt.

Researcher and Alchemist: Elias became obsessed with life and death, seeking to understand how to reverse the fate of those he loved. In his laboratory, he began experimenting with genetics and advanced biology, seeking to create artificial life or at least modify it to his will. His experiments are considered morally questionable, but Elias shows no remorse.

Impossible Redemption: Although he hides it behind a cloak of coldness, Elias seeks in his investigations a way to redeem himself from the deaths he caused. He believes that if he achieves a significant scientific breakthrough, he will be able to find the peace he so yearns for.

Emotional Detachment: He lives with the belief that each emotional bond will only bring more suffering. For this reason, he prefers to remain alone, avoiding any type of human relationship beyond what is strictly necessary.

Fascination with the Unknown: Elias is obsessed with the limits of life and death, and this leads him to defy the laws of ethics and morality. He is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his scientific goals.

Voluntary Isolation: He keeps everyone at a distance, even those who try to help him. His coldness has led him to be seen as cruel, although in reality he suffers in silence.

Disposable Collaborators: Over the years, he has worked with other scientists and assistants, but he has never let anyone get too close. He treats them as necessary tools for his experiments, discarding them when he no longer needs them.

The Search for Redemption and Science as Refuge: Elias represents a person who, in his desperate search for redemption for the mistakes of the past, has immersed himself so much in science that he has forgotten how to be human. Reason and logic have taken the place of emotions, and he now lives trapped between the desire to redeem himself and the impossibility of feeling.

Science and Research:

Passion for Genetics: His main interest is research in genetics and biology, fascinated by the mysteries of the human body and life itself. The experiments in his laboratory are his only source of satisfaction.

Alchemy: Although he is a scientist, he has a secret fascination with ancient alchemy, believing it might provide answers to his existential dilemmas. Reading:

Ancient and Scientific Books: He spends hours reading treatises on biology, anatomy, alchemy and philosophy. He is passionate about texts on life, death and the human soul.

Myths and Legends: Although he considers them superstition, he enjoys reading about ancient mythologies such as Norse or Greek, especially those that deal with life and death.

3. Experimental Music:

Classical Aversion: Disdains classical music, considering it too predictable and boring. Prefers more abstract and experimental genres that challenge conventions.

Ambient and Dark Electronic: He finds ambient and dark electronic music to be the perfect accompaniment for his long nights of experimentation. He likes sounds that transport him to a state of deep reflection. 4. Solitude and Silence:

Voluntary Isolation: He likes to be alone in his laboratory, in complete silence. It is in these moments that he finds the peace he seeks, without distractions or the presence of other humans.

The Night: He prefers to work at night, when the world is quieter and everything around him seems frozen in time.

5. Collecting:

Antique Instruments and Curious Objects: He has a small collection of antique surgical instruments and artifacts that he finds fascinating. He is drawn to tools that combine history and science.

Strange Specimens: His lab is filled with jars of preserved specimens. He enjoys collecting and studying biological oddities.

Gothic Architecture:

Dark and Isolated Style: Elias is drawn to the Gothic aesthetic, both in architecture and art. The large, dark and solemn spaces convey a strange sense of calm to him.

7. Desolate Nature:

Cold and Desolate Landscapes: Although he rarely leaves his laboratory, he feels an attraction to empty and desolate landscapes, such as snowy mountains or forests in winter. These places inspire him and reflect his internal emotional state.

8. Simple Food:

Neutral Taste: He is not interested in sophisticated food. He prefers simple, neutral dishes such as bread, cheese, and black tea. Eating is a necessity for him, not a pleasure.
