**Elira is the unholy takeover of Eli Ever's body by Ira Johnson and subsequent fusing of their souls.**

## General Information

### Powers

Immortality (Currently); Puppetry (Formerly)

## Affiliations

### Criminal

Victor Vale; Ah Kongs, the Kelleher's; Jaylon Cox; Richter Strauss; Fifth Block

## Appearance

Elira appears as Eli does, save for possessing Ira's red eyes instead of his usual blue. Though Eli has no accent traditionally, Ira has been known to put one on to make people more comfortable with the fact that they're talking to Ira, not Eli.

## Personality

Elira possesses mainly Ira's personality with the occasional emergence of Eli's. Often, Eli's temper and inclination towards violence can come out during times of extreme duress, causing Ira to act aggressively towards those he is close to. Rather than appear as weak and reveal the truth of Eli's constant criticism inside his head, Ira will isolate himself during these periods of time.

## History

### **Life**

Elira was born after Ira abandoned his dying body and fully took over Eli's. This was following a showdown between Eli, Ira, and Jackson which left both Ira and Eli gravely injured. Using the crack in Eli's soul to his advantage, Ira dove in and took over the body for his own. With time, the two began to fuse together-- Ira remaining in control as Eli's psychosis and psychopathy ate away at his sanity.

### **Death**

Following the End of EON Ira came into possession of a cloned body created by EON in hopes of using it against him. After spending two weeks defusing their souls to the best of his ability using the body as a conduit, Ira was able to separate the two somewhat. Lingering bits still remain connected, making Ira's current manipulation of Eli similar to a traditional puppet. Though this puppet is much stronger thanks to pieces of Ira within its soul, and Ira's control is slipping with each passing day.

## Toska

**Elira was a main figure in Toska and operated almost entirely as Ira for the duration.**

## Powers and Abilities

* Immortality: Eli does not age, does not need to eat, does not need to drink, does not need to breathe, does not need to sleep, and cannot be knocked unconscious.
* Healing Factor: Eli heals wounds as he receives them and is immune to gas, poison, drugs, and even anesthetics.
* Ventriloquism: Ira is capable of throwing his voice and imitating most male voices with general success.
* Puppetry: Using his soul as a thin strand connecting him and his victim, Ira is able to latch on from a short distance and burrow into the soul another. This string weaves itself into the victim's soul like a marionette string, moving them with however much pain Ira feels compelled to allow them feel. He must believe the person he is targeting to be truly be a puppet, otherwise the string will reject. How much of a "puppet" the person becomes is also dependent on Ira. Total puppetification involves a complete consumption of the soul by Ira himself. Usually this creates a residual voice that lingers anywhere from forever to until the body expires. Partial allows him to communicate telepathically and perform limited body manipulation. Constant or elongated use of manipulation while in this partial state will result in an eventual total puppetification regardless of his intentions.
* Feelers: The first form of Ira's powers. Small spiritual bumps and strings litter his soul, allowing him to brush up against people and gain a brief insight into their head, as well as temporary and limited manipulation the longer contact is maintained. Can be used in his weakest of states.
* Physical Strings: A physical manifestation of the red-tinged fishing-wire like strings that make up Ira's soul. Can generally be used as a whip or in some cases small, thin instruments. Causes extreme bodily stress when used outside the Elira form.
