What I like about them

Elias is really fun and rather silly, he works in grand gestures and is always up to something dramatic or other so he is just fun to write most of the time whether he is being good-natured or horrible.

What I dislike about them

He is such a dick. I mean wow. It will only get worse before it gets better.

Favourite moment

Showdown with Eden. Dancing with Amiria and being a total child with Valerie. Accidentally calling Audrey his friend but secretly meaning it. Tormenting Hiero.

Least favourite moment

That time he totally let Amiria fall in the mud when she was injured. Or sold stuff to Ophelia when she was having the worst day ever and had just wanted to thank him for saving her life. Eventually when Audrey finds out the bad stuff he is up to. Or any time he’s a dick to Hiero or Niall…I mean I guess I have a love/hate relationship with all of that? Good character moments but my gosh it hurts.

A situation with this character that I want to see explored more

Teamwork with Amiria (shortest sentence but I have so many feels omg) and potentially Hiero as well? Pulling cons with Liam and Niall and maybe Wolfe if he’s into that sort of thing. Getting up to crazy frenemy antics with Hiero. Arch-nemesis Eden :P Elias + a nice family.

An interesting AU for this character

Musical AU (is that a thing? It’s now a thing) Elias totally has the charisma to carry out all action and emotion through song. Either that or 1920s-40s. (looking at you Nightmare Club) Elias would be unbearably dapper.

A crossover

M*A*S*H - sassy enough to fit in, incompetent and unscrupulous enough to cause drama. Probably talked himself in as a new surgeon with fake paperwork despite having no training in order to fulfill some personal goal or more likely get out of some trouble back in home. The higher ups love him but everyone who has to work with him eventually figures out he is a total fake. In the end he gets his act together and is an asset to the team, plus can finagle extra supplies and fun stuff for everyone. Bonus points for Hieronymus and Amiria also existing in same AU.

OTP (or OT3+ etc…. just… favourite ship)

Amiria/Elias.

Other ships?

As someone who historically never ships anything I have pretty much though about Elias/everyone at this point, it would be fun. I am sorry. (what have I become?!) Best other ships in some alternate timeline would probably be like with Audrey, Hiero, and Eden (just imagine if they worked together!) but I feel strongly about friendships and think more about those so onto that…

BROTP

Reggie/Elias (these two could flippin’ take over the world with their combined charisma), Hiero/Elias(you two have so much in common now get along! When Elias is at his best he is really supportive and brings out the best in people which would be especially fun with Hiero), Audrey/Elias (ffrrrrienndddddss? Friends? Am I doing this right? Friends.)

NOTP

With recognition to other ships answer above, in practice: Philomena/Elias *shudders* Prooobably Eden/Elias, let’s be real here, besides, she’s got Al, unless you’re sharing? jk, seriously. :P Will/Elias, I image they’d get along really well but when Elias finds out about stuff he will have a very principled bone to pick with him.

An assortment of headcanons

Elias is super rich. But new-money, entrepreneur-turned-owner-of-a-large-corporation rich. He is so used to penny-pinching that he cannot stop acting like he needs to nickel and dime everything. 

Elias has absolutely killed people with the things he has sold, either due to bad ingredients, or people believing they would work in the place of regurlar medicine. Like everything else in his life, he chooses not to think about that.

Elias sews his own clothes (and his wight’s clothes, and your wight’s clothes too if you are nice to him.)

I am sure everyone does this, and this is not exclusive to Elias, but I try to pay extra attention to how Elias refers to/thinks of other characters. So without further ado:

A helpful guide to what Elias thinks of your character:

Uses your character’s name in a way they would not use it themselves (last name when they would use their first, first when they would use their last, nickname or not nickname, etc) = Elias is being a patronizing dick. Probably actively dislikes them

Refers to your character as “young man” or “honey”, “sweetie”, etc = Elias totally cares (no he is just pretending and being patronizing, probably wants this person to go away)

Uses your character’s first name a lot in speech but not thought = I am trying to sell you something. I will forget you the second you are out of my line of sight

"the man", "the woman" = purposely trying to not connect

ginterghast, or better yet, phylacter  = oh crap they are like me maybe I should be nice

Refers to your character the way they refer to themselves = Crap, they are human to. Probably wants to help them or be nice. Empathizes.

What I like about them

I like that she doesn’t really give a damn about what people think of her. And if they voice those opinions, she’s very likely to laugh and tell them they must not have very much fun in life. 

What I dislike about them

Her jealousy and territoriality. Sharing Will with Hiero and vice versa is one thing. Seeing either of them flirt with someone else(or someone else flirt with them) is a completely different matter and is liable to make some situations uh…interesting. I also wish she’d learn to keep her mouth shut sometimes. 

Favourite moment

Oh dear. There’s been so many. But, weirdly enough, one of my favorite moments was during the Halehollow event when her and Will were fighting in the woods while supposedly looking for clues. While Will’s anger might have been influenced a bit by Legion, Soibhan has a temper that really makes her willing to push, push, push. Seeing Will’s reaction to that was a lot of fun. And because I like to cheat, I’m going to mention another favorite moment. When her and Hiero were sitting in that attic wrapping each other’s wounds the first time they met. I think that moment really set the stage for their relationship after that. 

Least favourite moment

IT HASN’T HAPPENED YET and boy it’s going to be a fucking doozy I’m not excited

A situation with this character that I want to see explored more

I cannot wait until Soibhan becomes an adept. The attention she’s going to get from the general populace(especially Brassbridge) is going to go right to her humble farm girl head, and might bring about a few…unexpected issues. 

An interesting AU for this character

SPAAAAAAACE

A crossover

Soibhan in Underworld would be pretty fucking sweet. Either role, vamp or werewolf, though I definitely see her more as werewolf. 

OTP (or OT3+ etc…. just… favourite ship)

Ot3 until I die and you just TRY to tell my ghost to stop(it won’t)

Other ships?

Soi and her childhood bff Rajani. 

BROTP

Soi and Eden! I think about them being friends a lot actually. 

NOTP

Given past happenings, I have this feeling it’ll take a miracle for Soi and Niall to get along xD Otherwise the obvious answer is Soi and Amiria.

An assortment of headcanons!

Aw yeah!

“Offer Me”

She watched his face light up as the brown paper package hit his hands. Already it was easy to see the gears in his head turning as he tried to guess at what sat beneath the wrapping, his fingers carefully peeling up the tape instead of ripping the paper to shreds like she would have done.

“I spent hours on this. You better like it.”

He smiled at her but didn’t raise his eyes, too eager to see his gift. Laughter tried bubbling up, but she bit her lip to keep it from spilling out. It would ruin everything if she laughed now.

Finally, he pulled the paper away, excitement bright in his eyes…and then his expression shifted until it looked like he’d swallowed an entire lemon, peel and all. As he lifted the pair of knit boxer shorts, she burst out laughing, unable to hold it back any longer.

4 Naill - Name one of your character’s guilty pleasures.

For a second answer, he also liked thieving with his brother than he cares to admit. He knows it is wrong, and justifies it in innumerable ways, but it was always a thrill. He has a mischievous streak and just taking something he wants offers a rare taste of power.

7 Thomas - What’s something your character would secretly love to do with someone else?

2) What’s something your character does at home that they would never do in public?

I think that Delphine is a real fan of the arts - especially opera.  That’s probably one of the biggest things she misses about Brassbridge… and when she was at home in Brassbridge she’d dramatically reenact her favorite scenes and sing all the parts herself (even the men’s voices to which she’d try to make them gravely) and twirl around her room singing at the top of her lungs (probably much to Beatrix chagrin) and in the mirror.  If you asked her to sing in public she’d politely tell you to go jump off a cliff and that the opera is nice.  Really, she’s a diehard fan for it.

12) Name a physical trait your character really likes in others.

4) Name one of your character’s guilty pleasures.

Soibhan loves to sing, and though her voice isn’t very refined, it isn’t terrible either. She hardly ever does it, and rarer still in front of others. Her papa once told her that a farm girl had no time for singing amongst all her chores, and so she started seeing it as a waste of time. But, every now and then, she will wake up early to see the sunrise and sing quietly to herself as it does.
