HAIR: black
SKIN: mild tan
BODY: sort of lanky and lean
UNUSUAL: bad eyes, needs glasses.
OTHER FORM: Elpis's Satyr form has a mane of thick, black hair with a texture and consistency like goat fur. This hair covers his head in almost a long, curly mane that messily spills down to his shoulders and a fuzzy goatee on his chin. A pair of curved, almost curling horns ending in nubs extends from his head and his body is lithe and toned, his forearms have thick patches of this goat-hair and his legs are a pair of great shaggy goat legs ending in cloved hooves. He's totally naked in this form save for his glasses and sometimes a form of upper body wear like a scarf, short cape/cloak or a poncho. He's prone to bleating and baaing like a goat in this form and his green eyes gain the unique horizontal rectangle pupils of a goat.
APPEARANCE: Elpis's human form has green eyes and slightly tanned skin. His nose is kinda small and hooks down slightly, with a high ridge to it. His hair is thick, black, and often messy. He's all elbows, his joints looking awkward and knobbly, but his body is quite lean and the signs of what might be a runner's build is readily apparent. He has long, slender legs and arms and a pair of large, round glasses. Elpis always wears a deerstalker cap, just like Sherlock Holmes. He favours greens and browns, natural colours, but wears the school uniform when in class or during school hours.

1) Satyr Heritage (see Secrets)
2) Standing up for himself
3) Easily flustered
4) Lacks confidence
5) Easily swayed/strung along
6) Easily taken out of his element
7) a bit of a Maladroit/klutz
SECRETS:
1) He's considered a wimp by other Satyrs and those who know him. His interest with humanity and behavior regarding the Satyr way of life has labled him an outcast and a loser far more than his obsession with humanity ever would have.
2) Secretly loathes himself and his Satyr upbringing and blood, wishing he was a race other than Satyr so that it'd be easier for him to get along with others. As such Elpis struggles with himself and shows signs of depression due to self esteem and image issues. He also despises his parents and other Satyr, though this is not something he readily admits to or accepts. It's a secret even to himself...
3) Has problems with his Satyr lust, having fought it throughout his past. As such Elpis struggles to respress his urges and forces them down. This can sometimes lead to them rising up and almost overtaking him if he's not careful, which he almost always is.
4) Cannot wear pants due to his Satyr legs (and due to the nature of his human disguise) but loves human clothes, especially long shirts, robes, and long coats. Is a bit of a fashion fanatic, loving to accessorize and play with outfit combinations when he has the chance, though always wearing a deerstalker cap to emulate his hero; Sherlock Holmes.
OVERALL:[/size][/ul]
Elpis is an odd one, on many levels. He was raised in a culture where the honeymoon happens after "You may kiss the bride" and usually involved all the guests, the priest, and whoever's walking by the church at the time. Yet, Elpis is shy, fussy, clumsy, and awkward. At the same time he's kind, patient, loyal, and very smart. He seems like a harmless nerd who just wants to make friends and get through the academy, and his knowledge of humanity and interests in them are refreshing, but there are darker sides to this poor lad. Issues with his self image and self worth run very deep, almost to the core. He hates himself and he hates Satyrs because of what they are, and Elpis fights himself and the debauched urges that come as natural to Satyrs as walking and breathing. Elpis wishes to learn how to overcome the "failure of Satyrhood" and how to live among humans without being a "Slave to his lust" like the other satyrs, in his eyes. There's a lot to this poor boy, and it'd be interesting to see how much people can uncover in him, and how much he doesn't even know about himself.

HISTORY: Elpis was born into your usual Satyr household. His father was a hunter and his mother was a farmer/gatherer. Both were former soldiers, in fact they met serving in a levy. Satyrs are old-fashioned and isolationist by nature, and didn't like their son spending so much time with that damn Centaur in the woods. Other Satyrs picked on Elpis mercilessly, his differences shining through to them like a beacon. He wasn't like other Satyrs, interested in learning their parents jobs or about Satyr history and culture or about the Birds and the Bees. ELpis always had a book in his hand or was always looking at plants and gathering seeds. While many satyrs preferred to wear very little, normally pragmatic things like belts of pouches or carrying packs, Elpis loved wearing robes or capes whenever he could, and was beat up for "his security blankets" making him look silly in the eyes of his peers. Worst of all, when other Satyrs were finally reaching puberty and getting an understanding of "Certain Things", Elpis was tending a garden and asking questions about life outside the deep woods and rolling countryside. Quite simply, he wouldn't put himself out to stud like all good Satyr boys and men.
Elpis's parents were greatly concerned, Normally boys his age had two or three different girlfriends, or at least had been with one girl. Elpis often talked with a girl named Anemone, who'd watch him tend to his garden and talk to him for hours on end about how he'd go into the woods with Charadese and collect seeds, how Charadese would give him books from the humans who lived so close yet so very, very far away, and about how Elpis found the humans absolutely facinating. She seemed to share many of his interests, and Anemone learned a lot from Elpis about the medicinal properties of many different plants, about how to grow healthy crops and how to get the most succulent and flavorful tomatoes and carrots and grapes... She shared a connection Elpis hadn't felt before, which made it all the more heart-wrenching for Elpis when she, like all Satyr girls, simply went and slept with the other Satyr boys and joined in many of their parties and games, preferring to frollick and enjoy the hedonistic lifestyle that Satyrs always had enjoyed.
This affected Elpis greatly, a deep sadness welling within him and changing how he thought about Satyrs as a whole. To him, his own people seemed spoilt and primitive, their passions controlling them and their lusts guiding them more than their hearts or their minds. He felt disgusted by himself and the urges every satyr girl he walked past brought to him, and he struggled to control these feelings, which only garnered him more abuse by the other satyrs his age. Eventually a solution was found. Malakai and Theotokos, two cousins from Ambrosia's side of the family, suggested a school in the states called Akashibai Academy. Elpis jumped at the opportunity to visit a human integrated school and started to pack at once. His dad, just wanting to see his son happy [/size][/ul]
WITH FACES PRESSED AGAINST THE
wall lets show the world what we are about
wall lets show the world what we are about
Elpis's dad gave him a polearm as a gift before sending him off to school. A rather hefty piece of work with a 5 foot shaft and a spearhead over a foot long and bladed. The opposite end of the polearm ends in a hefty counterweight pommel. Elpis finds the thing dang wierd, but still carries it around from time to time.
RP SAMPLE:[/size][/ul]
Elpis grumbled, eyes half drawn. So this was Jetlag, he was half asleep and then some, grumbling to himself and walked slow, lurching steps. He had just arrived at Akashibai Academy but a first impression wasn't going to be easy for someone who's bedtime was going on right now at the other side of the world. The Satyr shuffled along the hallway, his feet dragging and his shoes scuffing the halls slightly. He had a backpack filled with books and school supplies over one shoulder, too tired to put it on properly. The other students, though, they were something to wake up for. Elpis couldn't believe what he saw as he walked, so many different people, some of them humans, many of them Yajuu like him but in disguise. It was a real eye opener for Elpis. He'd been raised in a village of just Satyrs, the only other yajuu he'd seen was a Centaur and he'd only read of humans in the books Charadese brought him and the stories he told him. Things seemed so new and magical, people walking the halls and talking and laughing, his greek accent showed through whenever he talked but it was vanishing slowly but surely.
Elpis found his locker, fussing with the lock and forgetting his password. A mix of his own inadequacies and his tiredness inhibited him from opening his lock until... just a little more... now to the right... Click, the lock opened and Elpis looked at his school's time table. He... had to get to the other end of school for his next class. Quickly, he changed books in his bags, taking out history books and putting his human studies books away. The Satyr turned his head, looking down the hall at the crowds slowly shuffling and moving to their classes. He closed and re-locked his locker then wandered into the crowd, rejoining the slowly moving throng.
The bell rang and students began to run this way and that, picking up the pace and trying to get into the next class before it's too late. Elpis was jostled and shoved and shunted and pushed... He got knocked to the ground hard and his backpack shifted and landed almost on the top of his head. "owwww..." Elpis groaned, trying to get up again and shifting his bag. Great, now he was late, sore, and trampled. His jetlag seemed to have cleared up, though. Stampedes will do that to you. Elpis pulled himself up and started to dust himself off... Where were his pants? Suddenly it hit him. He brought his hands up, noting how his forearms were suddenly coated in thick, black hairs. He put his hands on his face, fixing his glasses, then moved on hand up and the other down. An inch long scruff of thick black fur sprouted from his chin, forming a small goatee, and his hair was longer, wilder, thicker... And two knobbly horns protruded from the top of his head. His human disguise had been knocked off when he was trampled. His legs were long, powerful, and coated in black goat's hair. Elpis quickly ran and hid in the men's room, concentrating as his human disguise overtook him like a desert mirage slowly made reality. He stumbled out of the washroom, clutching his backpack straps tight as he ran down the hall, knowing he was going to get in trouble for being late and hoping nothing else would go wrong...
