Elijah Karr

An annoyed Eli returns Ray and Summer to Asuka after a hard day of work.

Elijah Karr is a secondary character in Ray Fox, playing an important role in the third chapter. He's a giraffe who acts as the warden of the Meva Province Disciplinary Coalition.

## Background

Elijah trained in Kubi Kenpo at some point on his life, allowing him to use his long giraffe neck to fight. He chose to work as a jail warden, eventually becoming the head of the Meva Province Disciplinary Coalition.

## Personality

As a jail warden, Eli believes in discipline and order. He encourages and uses violence on inmates to prevent them from making a ruckus, as seen when he neck whipped Ray and Summer when they were about to fight each other again. That being said, he disapproves of unnecessary roughness, as he was put off when Ray told him of Summer's treatment of him when she arrested him.

Eli is very observant and intelligent, noticing Roulette because he knows that chameleons can't use their camouflage when they move. He's capable of making quick decisions in moments of crisis, ordering a lockdown when Summer accidentally destroyed the security measures during her fight with Brigade.

## Appearance

Eli is a large giraffe man, having long limbs, a thick barrel, and a long neck. Eli has yellow fur, brownish-orange spots, and a long orange mane. He has three-fingered hands and two-toes feet, with the tips of his fingers and toes resembling hooves.

## Powers, Skills, And Abilities

As a GENUS and ARS Meta, Eli fights by using his long neck. His true strength lies on his Kubi Kenpo, which exploits his long neck for powerful attacks. He was chosen to be the Jail Warden of the Meva Province Disciplinary Coalition.

### Skills

* Expert Fighter: As a master of Kubi Kenpo, Eli is capable of fighting professional assassins, as he was the one winning the fight against Roulette. A single blow from him is capable of defeating Ray and Summer when he attacked them from their blind spots.
* Leadership Skills: As the Jail Warden, Eli knows how to act during moments of crisis, quickly ordering a lockdown to prevent the inmates from escaping.

### Abilities

* Enhanced Senses: Eli has a talent for observation. He was able to prevent Roulette from assassinating Ray because he noticed the brief moment of time when the chameleon made himself visible to shoot.

## History

Eli first appears when Asuka delivers Ray to him at the Meva Province Disciplinary Coalition. As Asuka leaves, Eli leads Ray across the establishment, explaining its infrastructure. As Ray needs to change clothes, he watches the young fox make a commotion when he notices that Summer will be his guardian, angrily revealing how Summer brutalized him during his arrest, much to Eli's disapproval. As the pair starts arguing, Eli notices something and strikes a wall with his neck.

Eli's suspicions prove correct when a chameleon assassin named Roulette appears. Eli fights Roulette while the chameleon's partner, Brigade tries to kill Ray. As Eli overwhelmed Roulette, Summer defeated Brigade by causing an explosion with her neo-mutant powers. Roulette uses the chance to escape, forcing Eli to start a lockdown to prevent more inmates from escaping. Ray and Summer work together to neutralize the inmates and force the assassins to escape. However, the two start fighting again, causing an annoyed Eli to neck whip them and return them to Asuka.

After Ray was released, Eli took in Al as an inmate after he attempted to kill Ray. The two of them then watched Ray's conference on television. Some time later, Eli took Boony as an inmate.

## Trivia

* Eli being a Kubi Kenpo master is a reference to male giraffes fighting with their necks.
