- Clothing Style: Lax and not trying hard. Elijah's daily outfit usually consists of a graphic tee shirt, jeans, all stars, and his signature black hoodie. Freezing cold or blazing fire, he doesn't part with his jacket. He also wears a gold Star of David around his neck. He hasn't taken it off since it was given to him by his grandfather for his bar mitzvah.
- Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings: No scars. And definitely no piercings or tattoos! These are very taboo in Eli's strict family.

Upbringing SynopsisElijah's grandparents fled from Germany during WWII, let's go ahead and get that out of the way. But upon arriving to the States, it didn't take long for the Abrams family to establish roots and open a very successful bank. In fact, so successful that the business spread throughout the USA quicker than they imagined. The family is still greatly coasting on the fumes of Elijah's grandfather's success. However, Elijah has plans to build his own name. Elijah is very family oriented, and doesn't want to break away from traditions and his relatives. However, he doesn't want to continue to live off the back of his grandfather like the rest of his family. The future is in electronics and computers, so at a young age Elijah became very involved in electronics, software, hardware, and their many advancements.
It would be a lie if Elijah wasn't picked on for his heritage. Yeah, yeah, he is Jewish, and his family owns a bank. Can't get much more stereotypical than that. He was bullied quite a bit in his youth over it, though these days it seems that attention has been shifting away from his religious beliefs and more towards his nerdy personality. But through it all, he has never been ashamed of who he was or where his family came from. In fact, the bullying almost seemed to solidify his passion for his background. As such, Elijah tries very hard to be honorable and admirable among his family members, trying his best to be a good boy. Never stay out late, get good grades, and follow strong morals. As a result, Elijah has always been more on the sensitive and caring side.
However, Elijah wants to fit in more at school and since it is senior year, and they say High School is the best time of one's life, Elijah hopes to break out of his cocoon this year. He just may need a bit of a helping hand at being less of an outcast. But Elijah is unsure of how far he should go.
