**Elijah Stone** is the owner and only employee of Wonder Wares. A merchant shop in for Protagonists and NPCs that sell "quality" goods.

## Biography

Little to nothing is known about Elijah's past before he suddenly appeared in Hyperstrike Megamart. The only facts about himself that he's publicly shared is that he was born outside of Metropia on September 22nd, and he doesn't like taking off his hat. Where he was born or even his age is a mystery.

For the past few years, he was been the owner and sole employee of Wonder Wares, a general merchant store located in Hyperstrike Megamart that serves protagonists and NPCs alike in whatever they may need. His products are advertised as both being of good quality and affordable.

Though- the occasional protagonist has complained that the products they buy have poor durability at best. Elijah denies all these claims with a cheeky grin on his face.

Elijah had gone MIA for a long time, not being seen for months before suddenly reappearing without much word. He was surprised how much Metropia had changed in that time. Almost a little rattled that so much chaos could unfold.

On 9/16/23, Eijah, Adam Summers, Jesse Remei, Ikarus Cudius, Sato Hiromatsu, Mizuki Sakamoto, and Aspen Frost were all trying to sneak into HS Hotel when it was hosting a sleepover for the girls of Metropia. Elijah was eager to do this, not because of the girls, but more so just to do something fun and entertaining. The boys failed spectacularly however, and subsequently got caught by the girls' traps. As punishment, the boys were made to wear maid outfits and makeup. Since Elijah's head was exposed due to the different headpiece, it was revealed that he had small glowing wings coming out of his head. Signifying that he is not actually human. He wished to hide this fact from others adamantly.

During early October, Jesse was thrown off a building by an "unknown" assailant, taking everyone by surprise. Elijah was worried about his friend and visited him as soon as he could at the hospital. He was also greatly appalled by Eddie's lack of actual drive to help solve who did this to Jessie, even though he claimed he would find out who did it. Especially because he would rather invest all his focus into his antagonist girlfriend, Kamilla the Killer. Elijah was uncharacteristically furious at Eddie for this. Refusing to even feel an ounce of pity for him.

## Appearance

Elijah has caramel blonde hair, purple eyes, and wears a band-aid on his cheek. He is 173 cm tall, and is fairly built. He is often dressed in casual work clothes with an apron on. Trying to keep a relaxed but still somewhat professional look. Under his work clothes he has black and white compression suit and compression gloves.

He constantly wears his dark purple beanie and goggles in public. Though without them, he has small glowing blue wings sticking out of his head.

## Personality

Elijah gives off a laidback, sassy, impulsive, and outgoing personality, though he still tries to show empathy and compassion for friends or those in need of help. He does however, struggle with understanding others' issues and his own negative feelings. He gets incredibly upset when others mistreat his friends and especially if someone hurts them. And grows irrationally angry at the notion of antagonists, treating all antagonists like they're horrid scum.

Elijah has difficulty being 100% honest with others, even with his closest friends. He holds a lot of secrets close to his chest, and doesn't feel like he can share them with anybody.
