## Biography

Eliseo was born in Marinduque, an island province in the Philippines. And from his birth, it was very much known he wasn't normal. His skin was too fair, his hair unnaturally bright, and his eyes were far too blue. Almost immediately, he was separated from his main family and taken to the states by his uncle, who was in fear of somebody wanting to get ahold of Eliseo. At a young age, Eliseo was told about his family's situation. For over 90 years, his family had been repaying a debt that their ancestors incurred and the only way to repay that debt was to become a druid and protector of nature and life. The process of becoming a druid was something Eliseo wasn't expecting to be so difficult. Call it child arrogance but, he figured it was gonna be flowers and daisies and doing remedial gardening. It was far from that expectation.

Eliseo was forced to 'familiarize' himself with nature meaning he had to live and breathe what was around him. He would sleep outside on the bare ground, he would only fruits and whatever else he could find, his only shower was either the rain or a body of water. This familiarization lasted over a month before Eliseo was allowed back into the safe refuge of his uncle's house. After that, more training and a lot of book reading.

Years passed, Eliseo wasn't allowed an education as that would detract from his druid path, though he did eventually catch up in education, he is rather mediocre, however. Eventually, he reached the age where all druids must graduate, his uncle saw to it that his nephew was fully prepared for what was to come.

Eliseo was sent off to wherever nature was to bring him, and what it brought him to was a place called Beacon Hills. Eliseo lives alone now, in a small house paid by his uncle. He doesn't exactly know why he's in Beacon Hills, but he assumes it's for a good reason.

## Overview

### Personality

Eliseo at his core is a very kind and affectionate person, willing to put himself before others to protect them. This doesn't mean, however, that Eliseo is social or willing to put himself out. He believes he has learned from his past mistakes and has become repellant of people. As a result, he tends to be jealous of people with friends or just groups of people. Eliseo is empathetic, he understands the pain someone can be going through and while because of his repellant nature he can't directly support them, he tries to give indirect support any way he can.

Despite his repellant nature, he is friendly and loves to laugh, he just doesn't have many opportunities to do so. Eliseo is a problem solver; believing that wherever a problem is, it must be fixed. He's capable of finding a solution to a problem if he gives it enough thought. Eliseo appreciates praise and has shown a propensity to work harder or exert more effort than he would normally when given positive feedback. To keep his life in structure, Eliseo follows a very strict regiment and schedule. Eliseo can sometimes become irritated or bothered when someone tries to disrupt his habits and he goes to extreme lengths to get it back. Eliseo has a very strict code of morals to not do anything that would harm another unjustly. When such an act happens, Eliseo can become guilt-ridden and remorseful.

As a druid, Eliseo understands he must keep a balance to nature and the world, and he must eradicate anything that causes an imbalance. As such, he can turn rather vindictive and unforgiving when encountering something that's causing an imbalance.

## Powers & Weaknesses

### Powers

**Bukaw** - As a Bukaw, Eliseo is able to transform into a Philippine Eagle-owl instantaneously.

**Druid** - Eliseo is a Kulam druid and thus, the whole idea of this form of druidism is that to give, they must take. And to take, they must give or return. This exchange system comes in the form of returning and giving to nature. Planting, watering, spreading natural seeds and removing weeds is just some of the things Eliseo and other Kulam druids can do to *load* his magic. Loading is a term used by Eliseo's family when giving to the earth, as when they do, the earth returns the favor by giving power and magic to them.
