Height : 5’7

Build : Elliot, while short, is muscular and lean. He plays a good offense, but tends to give up easily in defence.

-

Appearance : Elliot has green eyes and black hair that is dyed red. The roots are left black (I can send examples <3) He is clean shaven, and always looks neat. His hair tends to be messy in a collected manner, insighting the mess that is his apartment. He has straight teeth and a warm smile that lights up his green eyes. His eyebrows are black just like his natural hair, casting his eyes in a shadow when they are furrowed. He is tan, but yet he burns like he’s never been exposed to the sun before.

-

Distinguishing features : Elliot has a scar running through his left eye as a result of a hockey incident where he got his face sliced by another’s blade. He is self-conscious of the scar, and tends to hide it with powder.

The athlete also has a small infinity tattoo on his right ankle, as well as the word Overcome on the inside of his right bicep, a reminder to himself that no matter the obstacles in his way, he shall overcome them fairly.

-

Style : Elliot likes to present himself to the public as a well put together man, always seen in public in casual business attire with a matching tie. Behind closed doors however, he prefers a maroon (Or dark) hoodie, and slacks.

-

Posture / stance : To go along with his public image, he stands correctly, his back is always straight, and he always seems to have a smile on his face, no matter how awful the day was. His body language always seems to be open, friendly and outgoing.

-

Accent : Elliot has a very thick Swedish accent. He has a mixture of stressed syllables and a pitch accent. His accent is very similar to that of a German accent, just a bit more of a singing, smooth quality to it. When one syllable is stressed it gets followed up with a high-low pitch pattern, but if there are two stressed syllables, it is a high-low-high pattern. Overall, due to his accent, English is his hardest language to speak.

-

Basic Personality : Elliot comes across as warm, and likeable. It’s hard to dislike the man with his charismatic smile, and how personable he is. It seems to be that only a miserable soul would dislike the man. Reality however, behind the smile is a cold man, with very little emotions on the ice and off. He isn’t nasty, he just isn’t really emotionally available, ever. He doesn’t remember when or why he became so shut off to his emotions, but it’s difficult for him to express said emotions outside of the moment.

He is nice and friendly with everyone, even those he doesn’t like. He is a people pleaser, and if he says he’ll show up, he’ll be there ten minutes early. He is loyal, but single person oriented. He tends to drift towards “his” person in any room, and in the past got told off for hovering. He is incredibly forgiving, and it doesn’t matter how badly his person wronged him, he’ll still be there to hold them up, even if he can’t stand on his own without that person. This trait gets him into trouble in relationships because he is an easy target for those who don’t have the best intentions.

He doesn’t trust easily and yet it always seems like in every social situation his walls are down, but he only allows that person to see what he wants them to see. He found himself in a situation of being surrounded by people who really didn’t know him. He could tell you every small detail of that person, but those around him couldn’t even name his favorite color, his favorite food, or any sort of personal details of the man.

Romantic Relationships : He’s had a few previous relationships, but none lasted long. At the moment however, he has no one to call his own.

Family Relationships :

Lottie Hawthorne (mother) : His relationship with his mother is rather strained, and distant. He no longer is really on speaking terms with her.

Elisabeth Hawthorne (sister) : He will always be her protective older brother, but he also has a strained relationship with her, and talks to her twice a year.

Lars Hawthorne (Father) : His father is his closest family member, after all, they work together, sort of. He doesn’t tell his father anything personal, but he’s friendly with the man.

-

Group Role : compromiser

Self-Perception : Elliot has a difficult perception with himself that is a result of the environment he was raised in. He is hard on himself, and often doubts his own abilities. He doesn’t see himself getting anywhere in the league due to this low thinking of himself, and he is his own worst enemy.

Perception of Others: He tries to see the best in others, and always gives people more chances than they deserve to prove themselves.

Childhood Environment : His father wasn’t really there growing up as he traveled quite a bit for work. It made good money, but left his mother struggling to raise two children on her own. Not only were two children near the same age, but two children were both competitively skated. His sister did Figure Skating, and so he was raised at the rink. If he weren’t there for himself, he was there for his sister.

His sister had anger management issues among wanting to control everything,and his mother was too tired to address her problems, and as a result, he was often the one that faced the lash of anger. He was taught to push his feelings down because they clearly weren’t as important as his sister’s and never was allowed to truly express himself. He was shut down time after time. As he aged, he drew away from his family, becoming emotionally distant and reserved with everyone around him, including his own family to mask the years of hurt and anger he’d pushed down.

When it came to watching him play, his mother would much rather watch his sister, and there was only one time he can remember that his mother came to one of his games, even if his sister didn’t have anything going on. When his father was in town, he’d attend, so Elliot took that attention and attached himself to it, holding his father in a spotlight for a small gesture because it showed that perhaps all of his hard work into hockey was worth it.

Due to his childhood, he is emotionally cold, and cut off. His family couldn’t tell you what he was feeling, and it was often praised at family holidays that “William is so cheerful!”. He was constantly on defence, walking on eggshells, telling those around him what they wanted to hear to keep the peace, making the ‘peacemaker’ of the family.

Regrets : There isn’t much that Elliot regrets aside from moving out of the suffocating household sooner. Perhaps if he’d moved to North America with his father sooner he would be different, but there isn’t anything you can do to change that past, you can only go forward.

Habits : Elliot has a bad habit of being incredibly messy. He leaves his clothes everywhere, dishes in the sink and dust on every surface, but the sweater on the couch is a reminder to make his lunch, the sock on the TV is a reminder to go for an early morning jog, and that cup on the mantel is his reminder to do the dishes. It is once every two weeks that he’ll do a deep clean on his place before it returns to the normal state in two days.

Color Palette : Dark grey, maroon and silver
