Short and Sweet We Promise
  
   

We'll admit this is short and sweet. It's first come first serve for the characters, we don't want doubles of a character running around, though PB's, as long as we don't have 400 of the same face running around it's cool.

You will be alerted as soon as we can about getting your application. And as soon as the team of mods look it over you'll be informed of your acceptance.

If denied, we'll give you a chance to add in details that we think need a little brushing up on and a shot to try again. If you fail that time I'm sorry you won't be able to app that character to the game, though feel free to try another character.

‡ Character Information ‡
Character Name: Eliot Ford
Canon: Leverage (AU)
Background: Eliot was initially raised by his mother with no idea who his father was. She, unfortunately, married while he was still fairly young. Although his stepfather was a drunk, he still had a mostly normal life until his mother left them when he was ten.

At that point, his life fell apart. His stepfather quickly became not only neglectful but also abusive as his drinking became even worse. Any money he made was spent on booze, forcing ten-year-old Eliot to steal just to stay alive. The boy still managed to do well in school, not only keeping up with his studies but joining the wrestling team.

When Eliot turned 14, he ran away. If he was going to have steal to survive anyway, why put up with his stepfather's abuse as well? After a few days on his own, he was approached by Damien Moreau. After much hesitation, Eliot accepted an offer of a home in exchange for looking after several other boys around his age and keeping them in line. As it turned out, the other boys were dealing drugs for the man. Moreau forced the boy into prostitution, holding the other boys' wellfare over his head. Over the next year, Eliot did what he had to survive, growing increasingly demoralized and desperate. What the boy didn't realize was that this was simply a step to break his boundaries. When Eliot turned fifteen, Moreau brought him a proposal, an end to the prostitution in exchange for murder. Desperate for any escape, Eliot accepted it. Eliot found himself escorted not only around the city but around the country, making hits. This continued for a year before the FBI was finally brought in on the case. In the end, Moreau was arrested, tried, and sentenced to life in prison. Eliot was tried as a juvenile and then released.

Today, Eliot lives with his adopted parents, Nate and Sophie Ford, and his two siblings, Alec and Parker. They're gradually helping him to move on from his past and regain his self-esteem and a healthy self-concept.
Personality: Eliot is very haunted by his past. The guilt over his kills is like a weight on his shoulders. Between that and the prostitution, his self-concept is extremely warped. In his mind, he's a killer. He knows he's good at it and at least he's not being forced to have sex. At the same time, he hates it. His feelings about sex are equally mixed. His early experiences with working the streets left him with both an aversion and craving for sex. Additionally, it's become another weapon for him to use.

He often portrays himself as being tough and untouchable to those he doesn't know. While he generally tries to keep his head down and go mostly unnoticed, it isn't hard to draw him into a fight. This hides a broken, scared boy. He feels completely out of control. He expects people to either take advantage of the skills he had to develop to survive Moreau or to shun him for what he's done and, as a result, has a hard time forming meaningful relationships. Between his mother's abandonment, his stepfather's abuse, and Moreau, his trust has been broken so badly that he is now very slow to trust anyone.

Now that he has a family that has convinced him that they do want him simply for who he is, he has become extremely protective. He wants to make his new parents proud of him. His biggest fears are that either they will leave him or that they will be harmed because of him.
Abilities: Eliot is a former assassin. He knows how to kill cleanly and efficiently. He also can assess the security of a building or room with an eye to keeping potential killers out.
Weaknesses: Eliot fears for his family's safety. A threat to them will drive him to either attack or cooperate with any demands in exchange for them being left alone. He also very much fears rejection, especially once people find out about his past. Finally, he fears a repeat of the abuse he experienced on the streets. He also has a temper. While he normally keeps himself on a tight leash, sexual insults and insults to his new family will draw him into a fight.
