## Character

### **Personality**

Who is Elias Troy, well, It depends on who you ask. There are some things that anyone would agree on, like his organization skills or tendency for color-coding. There are some praises that the Theatre students would say about Elias; they'd call him their "Theatre Dad", mentioning his serious cultivation towards quality performing arts. Others would point out his dramatics, how Elias’ sentences are articulated with hyperbole, with metaphor, so much that one cannot distinguish exaggeration from truth. He is organized and driven, with a fondness for brown manila folders and color-coordinated highlighters and markers. If you asked him where something was, you'd receive a clear, articulate answer. Elias backs up all his notes onto flash drives and a separate harddrive and then to the Cloud. As for those aforementioned manila folders, he has a cabinet in his room, carefully labeled, dedicated to storing them. While Elias has a tendency to accumulate data, the impressiveness of that is overshadowed by his ability to pinpoint exactly where the facts are. It's this tendency to accumulate data that helps us see what sort of person Elias is. Elias is, fundamentally, a boy who loves the arts and humanities. He loves fiction, he loves dance, he loves music. He loves those things because art will elucidate the human condition, because art brings people closer together in understanding one another. He is curious, always seeking for new knowledge to create a new lens to view the world. Performing arts is his medium for this. Elias uses it to understand how to express the truth through lies. As an actor on stage, Elias wants to use his experience to understand greater things, other institutions who are acting just as he is, like politicians and the government and newspaper agencies. Elias fundamentally believes that the mythical world is corrupt, that the information fed by Camp Olympia is pure manufactured consent. He's perpetually scared that the world he grew up in is being sanitized and censored, and is aiming to find "reality" beyond what's handed to him. In a way, he views himself like a prisoner trapped in Plato's cave, longing to be free. With such strong beliefs, you can't expect him not to be outspoken.

In his writings, Elias will pour his thoughts into narratives. It is exactly why he loves to write poetry and plays. Often, when writing his fiction, Elias knows that he doesn't have the answers, but hopes to find the answers as he explores the psyche of his characters. It's his own way of feeling empathy, it's his own way of making sense in a world that doesn't. Furthermore, he wants others to know how he feels about the world. But being highly aware of the world isn't the best of things. Elias knows that he has to be careful, that he has to be cautious, that people in power could see what he writes as treason. Because of this, Elias is highly protective of himself, covering his tracks and making sure that either a) he cannot be traced or b) if he can, he's able to dismiss his concerns. He's good at being sneaky, easily concealing himself in hiding points due to his small stature and brilliant acting. Being an actor, he's one for the dramatics, and has absolutely upped the ante of his public persona, the concerned conspiracy theorist. This public persona of Elias is, by all means, rather irrational. This persona will insist on buying food organic, on wearing a gas mask indoors, on hiding his appearance in long coats and scarves. Elias will talk about 'chemicals in the air', and show you how he'd duct-taped the camera on his devices. It's definitely an ironic portrayal of himself, one that Elias eventually aims to "age out of" once he leaves the school. Though, this ironic portrayal is fun, Elias will admit. In fact, he rather relishes it. Growing up with a group of hunters who hated boys, Elias isn't particularly used to so much attention and focus on himself. Because of this, over his first years at Camp Olympia he's fallen into the persona more and more, constantly seeking the attention that it gives him. Now, in the last stretch of his current years, he's seemed to have mostly shaken it off, too aware and focused on his own future to keep up with it all the time. Elias is also very protective of his sister. Given what happened to her with her former lover, he is even willing to kill for his sister. Elias above all else, is loyal to the people he loves and cares about. He can also be a bit rageful and stubborn, doing things based on emotions and being quick to attack those who have wronged him. He is known to be a brave hearted leader with a strong mind but a bit sarcastic and playful too.

### **Appearance**

Elias looks fairly similar to his sister. He has the same fair skin, the same light blonde hair and the same purple eyes as his twin.

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### Helen of Troy (Mother)

Growing up, Elias was very close with his mother, though she disapproved of the twins using any weapons. Elias feels guilty for not telling his mother was was happening with Andres and Holly, and often thinks about what would have happened if he *did* tell her. Elias also regrets becoming immortal since it meant he had to leave his family behind. He misses her mother, but knows she's in the underworld, at peace (Hopefully)

#### Menelaus (Father)

Elias was also very close to his father growing up. He greatly admires his father and, when he was younger, wanted to be a great ruler like he was. He loved to hear about how bravely he fought in the Trojan War. Unlike Helen, Menelaus approved of the twins using weapons, wanting them to be skilled fighters just in case they had to defend Sparta from any threats. He misses her father but knows he's in the underworld with her mother

#### Holly Troy (Twin sister)

Elias is Holly's twin brother, and the older of the two. Much like most siblings they fought with each other, but underneath all the fighting, they truly loved each other. Elias is protective of Holly and was the first person to suspect something was going on with Holly's former lover, Andres. Once Elias soon found about what Andres was doing to Holly (being physically, verbally, and sexually abusive to her), his sister begged him not to tell their parents, fearing what would happen to both her and Andres. Elias reluctantly agreed to keep quite. One day, a few days after their sixteenth birthday, Elias caught Andres abusing his sister and in a moment of protection and rage, Elias pulled out a sword and killed Andres. When Holly joined the Hunters of Artemis at the age of 17, she asked Artemis to make him immortal as well, which Artemis agreed so, seeing as Elias was so protective of Holly and earned her respect.

### **Friends**

#### Theodosius Trojan (Son of Hector and Andromache)

Elias is very close friends with Theodosius since both their respective twin sisters are hunters of Artemis. The two like to hang out a lot and are very protective of their sisters. While Elias is the older twin, Theodosius is the younger twin between himself and Andromeda. The two also like playing video games together
