SOMEWOT DETAILED PERSONALITY

• To begin, Ellison Dean West-- or, Elly, as he prefers-- swears that he is allergic to negative emotion and responsibility-- that is anything that he deems "Not-Fun."  He prefers to avoid, rather than face (skipping town, or simply running from problems should they come), and possesses a near-borderline hedonistic nature. Proudly, he proclaims that he seeks nothing but happiness in his life, and is completely willing to  forget the consequences to achieve it (though, whether or not the happiness is ephemeral, or lasting is never a question he almost never asks!).  
• He's also super empathetically stunted! Beyond their immediate value, most people and things are of absolutely NO CONCERN to him. Should he see a body strewn on the pavement, he would have absolutely NO QUALMS stepping on its back, wiping his feet, and continuing on his merry way to the next pub. It's fantastically frustrating persuading him to look beyond himself because he lives at the present and always here but never "there." 
•  But, for all his drifting,-- from bar to bar, coast to coast-- and as openly closed-off as he is, Elly however does possess a few (and, I mean very, very few) anchors of which  he is stupidly attached and/or loyal to. Those are: (in order from least to greatest), his alcohol, souvenirs from his travels and his soulmate Avery. Should he feel the least bit  upset, he entrusts in these anchors to keep himself sane. Should these anchors however become compromised, he becomes anxious at best, depressive at worst. 
  
  You see, once something has entered his world, his seemingly iron-cased heart, he holds on and never, ever, ever, ever wants to let go....!!! It’s like he focussed all his love and tenderness onto those yahhh! and never really learned how to extend those feelings towards anything else!
•  Really, Elly is self-centered in the way a child is. He makes a habit of adventure, but his world is still pathetically small and flat; he is energetic and engaging, but aggressively and destructively so; he is 23, but still grievously immature and stubborn as HELL. 
  
• UHM, HE’S A SUCKY LISTENER, AND A SMOOTH TALKER. SELF-CENTERED TOO. AHAHAHAAH WOW LOOK AT ALL THESE FLAWS. OH I GUESS HE’S REALLY REALLY HANDSOME? i think he’s handsome *____*
  

ABILITIES.

• Ellies is able to manipulate his life energy like a thread and sew wayward souls of things into empty vehicles.
• To a certain extent, Ellies can “sense” ghosts (it’s like a really strong chill)
• It’s temporary, and the effect of his power has a short “battery life” unless he is in constant contact with the soul/vehicle
• The bigger/more complex (AKA MORE COMPONENTS) the vehicle the more life energy he needs to expend. Human bodies are the worst, and if he tries to bind someone back to their bodies, then he would die, and then the other person would die OPS.
• Anything under his effect glows quite brightly.
• ELLY THINKS HIS POWER IS MORBID AND DUMB… WAT USE IS THIS HE ASKED THE DOCTOR.
• DUNNO REPLIED THE DOCTOR BUT BEGGARS CAN’T BE CHOOSERS, ASS.
• Later on when Avery dies, he uses his power to keep her soul in a puppet. They plan on going to the afterlife ~*~*together**~** after Elly dies!!
• Secretly, Elly feels very guilty that he was partially responsible for Avery's death must use such a silly looking vessel to keep Avery's soul in! He took up "ventriloquism" to save up monies to buy a proper, life-sized mannequin for her... So that she can continue "living" with DIGNITY!!

ELLY'S PAST

• The West family is composed of four people: Mr. West, Mrs. West, Linden West (elder son), and Ellison West (younger son). His parents are very hard-working individuals that weren’t rich by birth, but by life circumstance! They were constantly on the look out to better their stations, and ultimately become the semi-respectable folk they are today (NEW MONEY IS NEVER AS GOOD AS OLD MONEY)! His father became owner of a factory HOWEVER, this work ethic is the reason why for the most part Elly and his older brother were raised by the house maid, and tutor. Elly and his older brother never really had a good relationship with one another, because Linden was boring and hated the world, and Elly needed more stimulation than that.
• Elly thus had a relatively lonely childhood. 
  
  
• And then he meets the love of his life at the age of nine. Then, they became best friends and Elly goes to mooch off of Avery’s incredibly lovey family! 
• And then Avery’s parents both die. And Avery is to be sent off to her aunt in the country.
• But, then Ellies is like THAT’S DUMB LET’S ELOPE INSTEAD. So, they do at the ages of 14 and 15.
• Then, they basically travel across the country, living off the charm of their youth, and luck, and sometimes stealing to get by!
  
  And then at Elly’s urging, they get super powers from the aforementioned scientist (from the plot!) 
• Elly's power I described above. Avery’s was simply super speed! Which was awesome, because she was never really an athletic girl to begin with. They have a jolly good time with their powers, and Elly is all happyyyy in spite his lame power! But, then Avery dies because heart disease runs in her family, and the strain of her power was too much.
  
  Her dying words were “I’m so sorry, Elly” and “I don’t want to go.”
• So, Ellies becomes depressed and guilt-ridden as FUCKKKK. And then he looks around, and in a brief moment of weakness, he binds Avery’s soul back into a ventriloquist’s puppet, which was a Christmas gift some years ago.
• Avery didn’t really know what to think when she became a puppet. But, since she’s with Ellies and an unfaltering optimist, she’s become glad they’ll depart together when Ellies dies.
  
  Ellies on the otherhand is now currently struggling between his CLINGINESS TO AVERY and  FEAR OF BEING ALONE, and the GUILT that he is partially responsible for turning Avery into this. He is constantly apologetic to her, and is trying to become more responsible, and taking up a ventriloquist act at a Music Hall in order to get more monies and buy her a nicer doll to stick her in *___* )b
  
  Oh, and Elly is on the lookout for the scientist dude to beat his face in.
  
  

OTHER COOL SHIT

• elly’s bday is october 4th, making him a libra! his rising sign isaries, his moon sign is leo. THIS MEANS AT HIS CORE, ELLIES IS A CHARISMATIC, AND VERY CHARMING PERSON. HOWEVER THE ARIES MAKES HIM A JERKASS, AND THE LEO MAKES HIM A PROUD JERKASS. LMAO.
• he doesn’t care about animals. though if asked, his favourite animal is cow because he likes beef
• whiskey is his favourite drink
• he likes the sound of people talking, though not to him.
• the language of flowers tends to follow him around. as that is his motif and all LMAO. HE IS FOR THE MOST PART UNAWARE OF IT… his favourite smell happens to be that of avery’s hair and freshcut flowers, tho!
• his favourite colour is pink. that favouritism amplified because that is the colour of avery’s eyes AW AW AW
• his favourite sexual position is sitting/cowgirl. and then missionary. yes.
• he’s prefers acting to speaking, but when he speaks, he doesn’t have a good indoor voice. he makes very clear inflections so it’s very easy to tell his feelings! OH AND HE’S TOTALLY VOICED BY DAVID TENANT BECAUSE I AM A WHORE.
• he makes a habit of dressing very well and coming off richer than he actually is. (LMAO HE HAS REALLY GOOD TASTE IN CLOTHING AND IS PICKY ABOUT HOW HIS SUITS FIT HIM). 
• he’s really strong…. 5’11” YEEEE *____*
• HE HATES BEING WET.
• CONSTANTLY GETTING INTO FIGHTS/SITUATIONS THAT HURT HIM. thus bandages, always.
• I informally described Ellies' and Avery's living situation as such:
  
  The building is about 4 stories and on a rather seedy side of town and is dilapidated on the outside. A lot of the windows are broken or bricked over, and it is leaking and the floorboards creak! They don't know why the building is abandoned nor do they ever find out, though they like pretending it is haunted and that the old tenants were much too cowardly to stay.
  
  The area of the building they are squatting in is at the very top floor near the ladder to the attic and next to a stove which serves as their fireplace. In the attic, are their travelling bags (and basically Avery's own personal dressing room.)
  
  For furniture, they have some old couches (that were already there) and a few cushions piled up on top of each other to form two makeshift beds with a headboard on each. They have a bunch of odd assorted "souvenirs" from their adventures across ENGLAND like statuettes and dolls and a stuffed bear and paintings and books and a globe and all that what.. Their curtains are made out of outgrown/ruined clothing.
  
  There are clothes lines hanging here and there, and alcohol bottles that Elly is trying to hide from Avery. Mostly, they live off of the monies they had taken from their parents, the charm of their youth, and when things become absolutely dire, stealing.
  

RELATIONSHIPS

• Avery: They are madly devoted to each other-- soul mates, really!  They have extremely similar dispositions so their ENERGIES practically BOUNCE off one another and they have a crazy lot in common (like their penchants for adventure and travel, their love of flowers, their belief systems, what have you). 
  
  But, while they bring out the best in one another (they make each other SO HAPPY. SO SO HAPPY)... they bring out some bad traits as well. When they are together, Avery and Elly each feel even more invincible, which leads to rather destructive things on both their parts. Avery is more willing to get into dangerous situations at Elly's urging, while Elly always jumps at the opportunity to defend Avery's honour! Elly also tends to be a terrible listener and Avery tends to be altruistic and a pushover. YEAH!
  
  All in all, you can't tear them apart without breaking the other down as well. They are very fiercely devoted to one another, and they're both pretty grateful that they'll depart to the afterlife together when Elly dies. 
• Basil: Wants to beat his face in for being so insensitive to their situation, and for insulting Avery's honour. Sometimes me and Kuku slash them together tho it is the crackiest pairing ever.
• Lulu: Hates her too. OPOS

CROSSOVERSCROSSOVERS. Me being nerdy. 

• he’s also my PD chara for gaia BC. TURNS HEAD.
• he makes a totally tsundere girl. really, really tsundere.
• in a modern universe, Elly is a hipster high school drop out with dyed pink hair GDI LMAO.
• OH AND HE FUCKS KUKU’S BASIL ON A PIANO EVEN THO HE IS LIKE MY STRAIGHTEST CHARACTER LIKE EVER…
• As an HP chara, he probably hangs around Hogwarts with his ghost girlfrand! YAHH. Probably a Gryffindor. Seems like a jerkass.

Creator Insight:

• ANOTHER RARE INTERVIEW. you prolly already kno this info if you have my msn but yea
• AS A CHARACTER, i’d say ellies is my most developed, at least personality-wise. he’d also be my favourite if mitya didn’t exist! elly has my favourite hairstyle for males, is pink, and has flowers following him around which i think is cool OKAY FLKSJDGLkj.
• I’VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN. my favourite characters tend to have flaws I have or traits I want to have. Elly possesses one of my biggest flaws, and that is my fear of being alone, and learning to let go… *___*;; He’s really easy to write for for that reason, so I write for him when I feel anxious about losing anything. (FHFFG!!)
• OH AND elly’s homelife kind of mirrors my own, and avery’s kind of mirrors my bff’s. i didn’t notice this until after the fact tho! (FGHSDGJLK!!)
• H-HE’S TOTALLY MY PERFECT MAN SCREAMS. actually, not really. but, if i had to choose from all my OCs, i’d deito ellies if he were single.
