Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Eli Galvao
Gender: male
Age: 25
Physical description: Eli is a tall and sturdy young man, he stands 5'10 has broad shoulders and a thick frame though Eli is more muscle than fat due to the physical nature of his job. He has reddish brown hair that falls in a shaggy mess to his shoulders, lightly weathered tan skin and dark green eyes. His palms are calloused and all of him is usually covered in a thin coating of dust and the odd stray dog hairs. To find Eli perfectly clean and respectable looking he has to be presenting hides or pelts to someone or at a big family dinner, the rest of the time he's content to be a bit dirty,(though by no means filthy) to show he works hard for his living.

When it comes to clothes Eli sticks to neutral tones and fabrics that can handle the weather and a bit of wear and tear, this includes tough leather gloves and a variety of hats and bandannas to keep the elements from getting to him too badly.

History/Backstory:

Eli grew up on a small farm on the very outskirts of Vargash, as young boy he spent most of his time helping around the house; listening to his father's and grandfather's stories and playing with the dogs that the family bred. Though he was always kept home where it was safe he longed to travel , to see what lay beyond the city limits and to tangle with the wild creatures of the wasteland like his father.

At Thirteen Eli received the hound dog puppy Kell as pick of that years litter and the two became a neigh inseparable pair, his parents wonder if this is just typical of a boy and his dog or if Eli has some sort of animal empathy. Eli spent most of his free time playing and training with Kell as well as venturing further and further into dangerous territory.

At fifteen his father took both Eli and Kell out on their first hunting trip.

Today Eli is a professional exotic hunter, he tracks down and kills the large lizards big cats and other predators that roam the wastelands. He kills them in order to trade their hides and pelts to the rich or merchants who use them for making other objects. The meat is usually consumed by himself and Kell and on occasion traded to wandering tribes people or nearby oasis communities depending on who is in the area and if they want what Eli has to offer. Kell accompanies him on all his hunts and the old hunting dog has proved his worth many a time.

Eli travels a lot for his work depending on how far he needs to go to find what is currently most desired but he always returns to the family home in Vargash which is conveniently the biggest trading area and the Easiest place for him to sell his wares.

Other important notes, quirks?
Eli is allergic to all Melons and things that smell of them or use their juices to scent things ( likes perfumes or lotions) make him sneeze or break out in a rash. Actually eating them causes his throat to swell and all the other typical allergic reactions caused by ingestion of an allergen
