Occupation: Jack-of-all-Trades
wink twisted Pokemon DNA Sample: Sneasel
Human Physical Description: Eliana has spiked, dyed orange hair and a pair of contacts that make her blue eyes appear to be slitted like a cat's (who knows how she got ahold of those). She wears a lot of skull and other gothic-like jewelry, such as earrings and a choker, though it's probably best we don't ask again where she got these. She wears a lot of black clothing, both leather and cloth, some seemingly tattered and ripped, though she may have done this herself. She has a black gothic tribal tattoo winding around her left forearm as well as another black gothic tribal tattoo resembling a vague or abstract pair of wings crossing her shoulders.
History: Eliana's father died when she was very young, leaving the girl to be raised alone with her mother. Times were hard and her mother could barely make enough for the two to survive on, so when a young man with a steady income expressed interest in the young widow, she eagerly accepted his proposal. As these things typically go, his true nature became known only after the wedding had passed. Abusive, harsh, and chauvinistic, the new husband and 'father' quickly cemented his role as the head of the household, not standing for any arguments on the matter.
Perhaps the two would have done better to try and make it on their own, but it was too late for that now. Abused both physically and verbally by her new husband, Eliana's mother learned quickly that it wasn't wise to argue with anything he said or did. Eliana herself was far from safe from his wrath. It started with the verbal abuse, calling her stupid, worthless, weak...then moved to the physical. She hid the signs when she went to school, too scared to even think of seeking help or rescue from her so-called 'father.' Unchecked, he didn't hesitate long before taking things to the next step and taking advantage of his young charge...
This continued for some time. Eliana grew quieter still, more withdrawn and backward, eventually refusing to talk to anyone at all. Apparently, her 'father' had decided to move on for some reason or other to some diversion that seemed more appealing, and being her legal guardian, convinced the authority figures at a nearby mental health clinic (Read: 'asylum') that there was something 'wrong' with the child and had her committed. Eliana's mother was so submissive by this point that she had little to say on the matter at all, let alone make objections...however, maybe secretly she thought that this would at least save her child from the current situation...
Unfortunately for Eliana, this 'clinic' was run by a staff of the old mind, that the patients were not to be trusted and that anything could be treated with the right amount of drugs and restraints. She began talking again, if only out of fear and desperation to defend herself. Any objections she tried to put up during the brief times she had other human interaction, even going so far as to try and explain what had really happened to her, were only answered by increased dosages of sedatives, as she was deemed 'hostile' and 'dangerous.'
She spent much of her early time in the asylum in a drugged state hanging somewhere between unconscious and awake. Eliana had always had a sharp mind, however, and underneath the drugged haze, that mind was still turning, learning rapidly. From observing other patients and a little bit of harsh trial-and-error, she soon created a list of acceptable and non-acceptable responses and actions. By showing her 'doctors' only the list of acceptable behaviors, she led them to believe that she was on the road to being 'cured,' though she herself knew well enough that there was nothing wrong with her to begin with. At least, nothing they could help her with.
Finally, Eliana was deemed 'healthy' again and when time came for her to be released into her parents' custody, she made her long-planned escape. Initially, she sought only to escape being trapped again, though as she began her new life of survival on the streets, she began forming thoughts of revenge instead. In her early teens, possibly 13 or 14 at the time, though only she would know, she disappeared into the streets as another "lost cause" and began adopting a string of aliases that only increased with each new city she passed through. She made money in the only ways she could: pickpocketing, petty theft...and perhaps a few other unsavory acts. All this was in the name of survival. When things got too dangerous, she'd pack up for the next city, adopting yet another new name and story along the way.
Finally, deciding she had the funds, the connections, and the street knowledge to dare an attempt, a much 'wiser', tougher, and hardened Eliana made her way back to her hometown. Her plan was revenge on the man who still haunted her nightmares to this day, leaving her with memories she'd never shake of lewd, cruel acts in the darkness behind closed doors. Fate is not kind, even for those with warped senses of vigilante justice, however, and it seemed that a freak drunk driving accident had beaten her to the scene of the crime a whole two years before.
Hearing rumors about an organization that may be able to help her with her more important life goal, she sought out CRONUS with all the money she had left. The last of her money went into supplies and renting a boat to set out and search for the CRONUS lab's island.
Personality: She searches only for power and all that she can get, in order to prevent ever falling into the same situation as she was in at home, feeling weak and useless. She will do anything to keep from feeling that again, even if it means she has to change herself physically. All in the name of power. She is bitter and vendictive, even to those she has no legitimate reason to be. She takes pleasure in causing others pain, as she feels is her right after what she has been forced to go through. Often, she seeks to drown her pain in alcohol, drinking anything she can get her hands on without being particularly picky about what it is. As a result, she may be seen quite often under the influence, though her tolerance is quite impressive and it may be difficult to tell whether or not she is drunk, since her behavior doesn't change much. She seems quite herself no matter how much she drinks (though she swears it makes her feel better), until she's had too much and simply falls asleep.
Strengths: Pain tolerance, cunning, emotionally distant, loner
Weaknesses: Alcohol, reminders of the past, loner
Likes: Alcohol, chaos, irritating the hell out of other people
Dislikes: Men, sobriety, 'dry' counties/campuses
