GUIDE.

CHIRON / THEY/HE / 31 / BLACK / NEURODIVERGENT
i haven't truly been around an rp community in some time and i'm kind of nervous. eli's one of my old ocs i've had for so long that i can adapt them to just about anything. while my time is limited due to working full time, i hope we all can have fun! feel free to hit up my dms if we're mutuals. if we vibe well, we can even share discords.

dossier.

001.

PRIVATE ACCOUNT. i only plan to write with my friends and mutuals. i work full time and have hobbies. i can't maintain multiple threads with randos that might go no where. it's just easier to maintain a smaller mutual followings. i'm also a very rusty writer and will be slow to reply, tbh.

002.

ZERO TOLERANCE. no racism, transphobia, homophobia, islamophobia, antisemtism, or anything else of that nature. i'm swift to hit the block button and let others know what is going on.

003.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY. first, my character's thoughts of your character are not a reflection of my own. i draw some thick, juicy lines between ooc and ic. i hate it when things get twisted. besides that, let me know if there might be something up. i'm open to talking things out.

004.

MINORS & LEWDS DNI. honestly, even eighteen is a stretch for me. i don't plan on making this all about nsfw content, of course, i just have no business or interest in interacting with youths. as for people only here for lewd content, hit the bricks.

005.

GENERAL WARNINGS. economic trauma, abandonment trauma, catholic guilt, getting into dangerous places one should not go without a gun. vague mentions of past sh. occasional mention of seizures and tacky jokes about them. crude language, sometimes the ole objectification beam. eli's pretty tame. things will be appropriately tagged when called for.

006.

CREDITS. unless specified otherwise, all artistic depictions of eli ruiz are drawn by me. if it isn't mine, there will be a credit linked near the image. i do not extend permission for my art to be used by anyone besides myself.

✱ THE RULES WILL BE EDITED AND EXPANDED UPON AS I SEE FIT!

ELI GREW UP POOR IN MONEY, YET WEALTHY IN LOVE. ABANDONED BY THEIR MOM AS A NEWBORN, THEIR DAD AND GRANDMA WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR UPBRINGING. THE ONLY COMMUNICATION FROM THEIR MOTHER CAME IN THE FORM OF TUITION CHECKS TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL. IT PUT THEM ON THE PATH OF HOUR LONG TRAIN COMMUTES BOTH WAYS AND EVENTUALLY BEING ABLE TO ATTEND COLLEGE -- WITH LOTS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND AN ASSORTMENT OF ODD JOBS THEY FOUND IN THE PARANORMAL SECTION ON CRAIG'S LIST.WHILE HIGHER LEARNING HADN'T ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM OF THEIRS, THEY KNEW HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO BE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE. LIBRARY SCIENCES BECAME THEIR FOCUS, AS THEY SPENT MUCH OF THEIR CHILDHOOD SUMMERS VISITING WHILE THEIR DAD WORKED LONG HOURS AS AN AUTOMECHANIC AND THEIR GRANDMA CLEANED HOUSES. THEY WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO FEEL WELCOME AND SAFE IN THE LIBRARY.ELI LOVES THEIR CITY MORE THAN ANYTHING AND THEY'RE PROUD TO SERVE THEIR COMMUNITY. THEY REFUSE TO LEAVE. THERE AREN'T VERY MANY OTHER PEOPLE THEY CAN COUNT ON TO GO TRAIPSING AROUND ABANDONED SUBWAY TUNNELS BY WORD OF MOUTH JUST TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE THEY KNOW FROM THE STREETS DIDN'T GET SWEPT AWAY AND TURNED INTO A MEAL.

SKILLS & ABILITIES

SKILLS.

HANDGUN PROFICIENCY	PRIMARILY FOR SELF-DEFENSE PURPOSES. THEY OWN A 9MM FOR THEIR DAD'S SAKE, BUT IT SELDOM LEAVES THEIR APARTMENT.
BOXING	ALSO FOR SELF-DEFENSE. THEY WERE TRAINED BY THEIR FATHER, A FORMER SMALL TIME FIGHTER AND CURRENT YOUTH COACH IN HIS SPARE TIME. THEY'RE AN OKAY SWITCH-HITTER, BUT DON'T HAVE ANY RANGE. SO THEY'RE USUALLY A COUNTERPUNCHER.
ANIMAL HANDLING	ELI SPENT THEIR ENTIRE LIFE AROUND STREET DOGS AND BODEGA CATS. THEY ALSO REGULARLY SPEND THEIR FREE TIME VOLUNTEERING WITH SHELTER PETS AND OCCASSIONALLY HELP OTHERS TRAIN THEIR SERVICE ANIMALS. IF SOMEONE NEEDS A PERSON THAT ISN'T AFRAID TO CRAWL UNDER A FENCE TO SAVE A SCARED, AGGRESSIVE DOG, THEY'RE ON IT.
INVESTIGATION & RESEARCHING	EXACTLY AS IT SAYS ON THE TIN. ONE SKILL WAS HONED ANSWERING RANDOM ADS IN THE SUPERNATURAL SECTION ON CRAIG'S LIST; SMALL JOBS OF HELPING FIND A LOST PET OR PERSON WITH THEIR PSYCHMETRY THAT GOT BIGGER OVER THE YEARS. THE OTHER IS A PRODUCT OF ELI GROWING UP A VERY BORED CHILD THAT EVENTUALLY GOT A COLLEGE EDUCATION. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS SOUND EXCITING.
PSYCHIC READING	THEY'RE MOST COMFORTABLE USING TAROT, BUT HAVE PICKED UP A NUMBER OF METHODS OVER THE YEARS. PALM READING, TEA LEAVES, PUCCA SHELLS TO NAME A FEW. THEY HAD THE FORTUNE OF MEETING DIFFERENT READERS WHEN TRYING TO FIND A MENTOR TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR MAGIC.
LOCKPICKING	HAVING FUN AND LEARNING NEW SKILLS AIN'T HARD WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LIBRARY CARD. THEY ALWAYS GOT LOCKED OUT OF THEIR FIRST APARTMENT AND THEY PICKED UP THIS SKILL INSTEAD OF BEING MORE RESPONSIBLE OR CUTTING ANOTHER KEY. IT'S ALSO GOOD FOR THEIR SLEUTHING.

ABILITIES.

MAGIC & WITCHCRAFT	THEY'RE A WITCH.
ENHANCED AWARENESS	THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF THIS AND GENUINELY THINK THEY'RE JUST GOOD AT TELLING WHEN SOMEONE FROM FAR AWAY IS STARING AT THEM AND THAT THEY HAVE GREAT REFLEXES.
PSYCHOMETRY	RETROCOGNITIVE, USED FOR PICKING UP MEMORIES OFF OF OBJECTS PEOPLE, ETC.
ASSISTED CLAIRVOYANCE	THEY'RE NOT LONG AT LOOKING FORWARD AND NEED A FOCUS; USUALLY TAROT, SHELLS, OR A CRYSTAL BALL.
SANCTIPYROKINESIS	THEY THINK IT'S JUST REGULAR PYROKINESIS, BUT GOLD. THEY THINK THEY GET IT FROM THEIR DAD BECAUSE HE ALSO HAS MYSTERIOUS FIRE ABILITIES. IT ISN'T VERY HIGH DAMAGE UNLESS YOU'RE UNDEAD.
AURA READING	IT'S LIKE A VIBE CHECK, BUT MORE POWERFUL. IT'S STRONGEST USE IS PERCEIVING OTHER NON-HUMANS, BUT THEY CAN ALSO GAUGE SOMEONE'S HEALTH OR THREAT LEVEL.

SOME ELABORATION...

ELI IS A RETROCOGNITIVE PSYCHOMETER AND THEIR SHIT IS BUSTED. YES, THEY DO SEE THE MEMORIES ON PEOPLE AND OBJECTS THAT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THEIR SKIN. THAT PART OF IT WORKS JUST FINE. HOWEVER. IF THEY ARE IN CONTACT WITH SOMETHING FOR TOO LONG OR EVEN TOUCH SOMETHING THAT IS EXCEPTIONALLY OLD FOR JUST A SECOND, THEY BECOME OVERSTIMULATED. THIS OVERSTIMULATION IS ONE OF SEVERAL THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE THEM TO HAVE A SEIZURE. SOMETIMES FOR ADDED SPICE, THEIR BRAIN WILL DECIDE TO GET THEM LOST IN A CHEEKY LITTLE HALLUCINATION BASED ON WHAT THEIR PSYCHOMETRY PICKED UP. IT ISN'T GREAT, BUT THEY'VE FOUND WAYS TO LIVE LIKE THIS.TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE THE WORLD IS THEIR SERVICE DOG AND FAMILIAR RONAN THE WAY TOO UNCANNILY SMART DOBERMAN. THE TWO HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR YEARS. AS LONG AS ELI IS ALIVE, HE WILL REMAIN HEALTHY AND AT HIS PRIME. HE'S PRIMARILY TRAINED FOR SEIZURE DETECTION AND PSYCHIATRIC PURPOSES. OVER THE YEARS, HE'S ALSO BECOME EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD AT GIVING COMFORT AND DPT, REMINDING ELI TO TAKE THEIR MEDS (OFTEN BY RAMMING THE BOTTLES INTO THEIR KNUCKLES), DOING THE ODD LITTLE CHORE OR TWO AROUND THE APARTMENT (LIGHTS, DOORS, ETC.), AND PULLING ELI FROM ANXIETY-INDUCING ENVIRONMENTS WHEN THEY'RE IN OVER THEIR HEAD.HE'S A GOOD DOG.ANOTHER MEANS OF PROTECTION ELI HAS IS A SMALL COLLECTION OF CHARMED JEWELRY. BESIDES RONAN AND COMMON SENSE, THIS IS THEIR PRIMARY FORM OF PROTECTION. IT TURNS ALL OF THEIR SHIT OFF AT THE COST OF, WELL, TURNING EVERYTHING EXCEPT THEIR EXTRASENSORY SKILLS (AURA READING AND ENHANCED AWARENESS) OFF. THEY HAVE TO SAY A SILLY LITTLE INCANTATION TO ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE THEIR JEWELRY. WHILE THEIR PSYCHOMETRY CAN BE A HUGE INCONVENIENCE, IT SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE THEY'VE LOST ONE OF THEIR SENSES WHEN THEY DON'T FEEL THE HUM OF PSYCHIC ENERGY IN THE BACK OF THEIR TEETH. SO THEY ONLY ACTIVATE CHARM WHILE AT WORK, IN A NEW ENVIRONMENT, IN A CROWDED PLACE, AROUND NEW PEOPLE, WHEN THEY GO TRAIPSING AROUND THE SEWERS, AND WHAT HAVE YOU.
