1. What is your character's dream career?A career? Your funny, Elijah isn't going to settle down and have a career to stay in once place, No, he is going to work only enough so that he can travel the world! He even has it planned out to be a foreign language teacher and teach at schools for the downtime that he has between his various travels around the world. A bit of disappointment from his family but they'd hopefully understand...
2. Your character is caught telling a lie/cheating. How do they react?Elijah would avoid being caught cheating or telling a lie, but assuming that he was caught then whoever noticed would be someone pretty interesting to Elijah. They'd have to dig pretty deep and understand the inner workings of him to pick out something like a lie or find him cheating. Depending on what he is lying on, if its something small, then he'd blow it off as a joke and deflect some of the attention off him while admitting that he was in the wrong.
3. Your character finds out someone close to them has been lying to them. How do they react?Elijah would forgive them as he finds friends and family are important and valuable to have in someone's life. Little mistakes can be brushed away as human flaws that make the person them, and Elijah understands that for even he surprisingly has flaws too just like them. A betrayal would be met with the same reaction but he would never forget it, as earning his trust to only grab a dagger to stab him in the back is something he prefers not to let go easily. Like they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. What does that mean when they are both?
4. If your character were given $50, what would they do with it?Money earned is something Elijah would gladly take for he worked hard for it, if it was freely given to him then the same would occur but he would feel 'indebted' to whoever gave him the money. He would work off those $50 in any way he can until he felt like he paid them back in equal value to his services. Either way at the end of the day, he'd save it for a rainy day to enjoy it with people when he cracks the piggy bank! (Or you know... save it for something bigger instead of being a compulsive buyer).
5. Someone close to your character gives them something very important and asks them to hold on to it until they come back. However, your character somehow loses it. What do they do?He probably would had a nervous breakdown to himself as he frantically looks for it, to lose somebody's trust is close to dying as it is. He wouldn't show it but he'd had probably lost some sleep searching for it and a replacement closest to it if he couldn't. If he failed to do that as well, he'd loathed his existence as a human for failing to do something simple like not losing something and apologize to his friend. Post-depression is a highly expected forecast for him afterward.
6. Your character is given the chance to perfect any one talent. What do they choose?Understanding the world and learning every language he possibly can be his choice, as he would be happy to break down barriers that separate people from each other. Learning the languages of other people would help him be more immersed in the world as he finds such things interesting. To know what the elegant sentences that other people say in other languages mean would be a great experience for him and respond back would be even greater.
7. What is your character’s favorite book or movie genre? Why?Elijah likes foreign works for the different perspective he is given to other cultures around the world compared to his own. Whenever he isn't watching something in a different language, he prefers the good old action or sci-fi movies that are interesting to watch for their interesting plot-lines and character. This also loops in dramas as well being another genre that he likes to watch on occasion if he likes the character and plot that is developing around them.
8. Who does your character admire/look up to?Everyone around Elijah is the people that he aspires to be, taking each other their individual traits that he likes and incorporates them into himself the best that he can. The smart kid who knows everything, sure he may be annoying at times but he knows his stuff so Elijah would stay around him. The guy good at sports, sure he just has to dedicate more time to improving himself and practicing to get as good as them. The good looking guy, steal some of what he does and see what works for himself to further improve it for himself. They are all people that he look up to as being better than him which he works up to reach their level, for he never believes that he can't reach up to where they are standing.
