**Elliot Decker** is a volunteer school crossing guard who is always on the look-out for Milo.

He is voiced by Christian Slater.

## Personality

Elliot is obsessed with safety before anything and dedicates every waking moment of his day to it. Whether he's constantly wearing his safety vest or spying on Milo, his focus is on making things safer to the point that he even dreams about it as he sleeps with his stop sign in hand.

In spite of his dedication to the cause, he seems to have a very unusual idea of what 'safety' means, and more often than not he completely misses the mark. This can be seen when he duct tapes a fire extinguisher box closed because of the sharp corners, unfortunately making the actual fire extinguisher inaccessible in the process.

He's very proud of his dedication to safety, and works as a volunteer crossing guard, although he makes the job seem much larger than it really is. When he finds out movie star Tobias Trollhammer is in town, he extends his crosswalk all the way to the filming so that he could act as an unofficial bodyguard. Elliot constantly refers to himself as the 'Safety Czar', and fully believes in the importance of his role.

Elliot is constantly plagued by attacking ducks. Whenever it happens, he tends to run away screaming.

When it comes to Milo, Elliot can be a very harsh, and often cruel person. The disasters caused by Murphy's Law goes against his dedication to safety, and he has flat out insulted Milo on a number of occasions, refusing to cut him any slack. In spite of this, he is often friendly to others, regardless of how arrogant he's acting.

## Physical Appearance

Elliot is a young man with an auburn mullet, a prominent chin, and a large, pointed nose. He constantly wears a pair of dark sunglasses that completely hide his black eyes.

He wears a yellow safety vest with reflective stripes and orange highlights over a very light blue short sleeve button up shirt. His pants are black jeans with visible seams and he wears a pair of dark gray sneakers with lighter gray soles and laces.

### Youth

As a child, Elliot's facial features were less defined, with a small pointed nose and a slightly rounded chin. His auburn hair was short and shaggy, and he wore a pair of round glasses with a thick black frame. Elliot wore a pair of blue overalls with a pocket and two buttons on the front over a red, short-sleeve shirt with a white collar. His shoes were a pair of white sneakers with grey-tinted soles and laces.

## History

### Early History

 File:Safety First (170).png
As a child, Elliot's parents once took him to the circus. As he was entering the tent, he threw a bag of marshmallows in the air, catching it repeatedly before his mother warned him not to and reminded him to remember 'Safety first'. Unfortunately, Elliot dropped the bag of marshmallows, watching as it began a series of events that eventually brought the entire tent down.

He remains unaware that Martin Murphy had been sitting in the audience, and that Murphy's Law had made the disaster inevitable. This event began Elliot's lifelong obsession with safety. As a traumatic part of his childhood, Elliot had no recollection of the event until the word 'marshmallow' triggered the memory.

## Relationships

### Milo Murphy

Template:Main

 File:Screenshot (4025).png
Elliot constantly makes Milo the focal point of his obsession with safety and goes out of his way to inconvenience him on a daily basis in order to 'protect the city'. Murphy's Law caused Elliot to become obsessed with stopping Milo, to the point he wrote Milo's name on the back of his stop sign, and he's given up his chance at earning a safety-related career after spending the day spying on Milo instead.

He despises Milo to the point he told him to his face that the world would be a better place without him. After experiencing a world without Milo in an alternate timeline, however, Elliot came to the realization that a world without Murphy's law to keep him on his toes made his own existence pointless. In spite of this, he treats Milo much the same.

### Melissa Chase and Zack Underwood

As Milo's closest friends, they tend to be around when Elliot confronts Milo, much to their annoyance. He ignores them when they call him out on his various antics, and he isn't phased when they get rightfully angry at him for his behavior. Melissa has used his obsession with safety to her advantage a few times, although he's oblivious to the manipulation.

### Elizabeth Milder

Elliot used to be a student at Principal Milder's school, and as the school's official crossing guard, she put him under consideration for a position as the school safety inspector. He was very happy about this and spent the day trying to hide various disasters from her in order to get the position. In the end, he failed after accidentally destroying her car, and she refused him the position, much to his dismay.

### Bradley Nicholson

Elliot is acquainted with Bradley and seems to be on relatively good terms with him. In an alternate timeline, Elliot paid Bradley to dress up like Milo and act out a script he'd written to make it seem like his dedication to safety was needed.

### Sara Murphy

At one point, Elliot was in school at the same time as Sara, although they were a few grades apart. He remembers her from school and tried to remind her that they knew each other, although his speech only made her uncomfortable.

### Cavendish and Dakota

Elliot doesn't know them very well, but he is aware of the fact that they are time travelers. In an alternate timeline in which Milo never existed, he found out that Cavendish and Dakota accidentally caused it, and asked them if they could fix it.
