Birthplace: Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland
Current Location in Castor: Highton City
Face Claim: Nicholas Hoult
Unlike some of the other Elementals, he grew up in a community filled with them. These weren’t the usual beings that people in Castor got to know and love. Training and harnessing their elements had been the primary objective for the younger generations as they came. Each child was put to the test in pre-adolescence, helping people in their village realize whether or not they were capable of handling what Maya had bestowed upon them at birth.
Not every child would have the same ability, especially if the children came from mixed elements. Elio’s family had the problem with being rare, and the stronger the child was, the harder it would be for them to control it when it came to their element. Ice Elementals had a tendency to create blizzards during their adolescence, nearly destroying everything around them. With Elio, though, it didn’t happen. He was calm almost the majority of the time and had only created one small snowfall while he was feeling depressed over another elemental who didn’t feel the same for him. The Falco family got it easy.
But, when things are at their best, Fate always found a way to ruin everything. Hunters found out about this village, taking it upon themselves to destroy all of them. Within moments, his village was set ablaze while they dragged women and children out of their homes. Him and his siblings, as well as some of the other elementals old enough to fight back, started to try and take them down. But, because of his ability not being as up to par as others, he ended up being the weak link. Hearing the screams and torment of his friends and family, Elio ran and hid until the hunters thought the elementals were all taken down. Shame riddled Elio and he took off, not wanting to go back and help anyone. It was selfish, and that alone caused a raging storm to build within Elio.
Elio became quite the nomad, though it was a struggle he felt he deserved. As he spent this time alone, he developed a sense of hatred for those hunters all the while realizing he must avenge the death of his family and his village. For decades he fought and took down these people, creating one massive storm when he realized the hunters had gotten away from him when they were right in his grasp. Vengeance became strong, roaming the entire planet to find them. Once again, he came up empty handed. He needed resources, and he knew where to get it.
Just as he was going to head to Maya, he came across an Elemental he had become friends with who talked about a war in Castor. Yes, he heard about that, but he never thought he’d be needing to go there to help. Once he got there, though, he saw why. The tension was thick in the air and he found every reason to join Castor’s side. When the war was won, he was about to take off until his friend that brought him there told him about a resource he could most definitely use to find those hunters. A contract was signed, letting Elio use their technology and connections to find who he was looking for…but also working for them.
Each mission was grueling after the next, but he needed something other than just the hunting. Sometimes the world was slow and he would have no cash-flow. Easily opening up an Ice Bar in Highton on the Immortal Strip, he found his business flourished after the war. Now with his business taking over his free time when Phoenix was slow, he slowly began to lose that vengeance he once felt. But, every so often, all of that would come rushing back and he would end up needing those resources all over again. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll be able to find those bastards who took all of what he knew away from him with smiles on their faces.
Positive: Loyal, Helpful, Outgoing
Negative: Proud, Egotistical, Grievous
Alexei: With these two working for Phoenix, Elio has made sure to get to know the man. It wasn’t easy, really, since the man was unbearably sarcastic, but the Elemental got through to him. They both end up being incredibly witty but respect each other’s tactics when it comes to taking down their targets. They don’t work on assignments together, but who knows with how slow things have been…?
Adah: It’s incredibly hard to not be friends with Adah, especially with how sweet and accepting she is. Elio feels that the angel’s personality is just like his mother’s, making it easy for him to confide in her whenever he feels homesick. He does love to drink iced tea with her and knows to bring a small winter to her home when it gets too hot in the summer.
Zeke: To Elio, the young Elemental reminds him a lot of Helix, the notorious Fire Elemental. He can see how they’re father and son. The thing is, he knows that Zeke must’ve had some sort of hand in bringing in the Cirque members that have been rumored to be hunted. If possible, he might just ask Zeke more details as to what happened and maybe get a mission to take those bastards down.
Maia: The first time the Ice Elemental had laid eyes on the waitress, he knew what she was and it intrigued him. He never spent much time with Earth Elementals due to what he was, but plants and animals did bring a smile to his face. Besides, they both had a connection to the most powerful woman in the world. Maybe he might invite her to his bar, but who knows if she’d go along with that. If not, he would be more than willing to spend time with her outside of his bar and in her own element.
Vincent: There is nothing more intriguing to Elio than Ice, so it was no surprise that he instantly sought out the newest civilian in Castor who shared his element. He has yet to speak with him, but has thought of ways to truly introduce himself and offer up the bar as a place for the Demon to spend his leisure time with no extra cost. Even if he doesn’t accept, Elio will be sure to keep the offer on the table.
Acadia: Fire was Ice’s nemesis, so there was no real joke when he warned her not to come into Artico. It wasn’t because he didn’t enjoy her company, but because he didn’t want to end up rebuilding his bar nor freezing her just to keep it in tact. One day, though, he knows she’ll come in but he hopes that day will be when he’s around and not on a mission. Too much money went into Artico and he’d rather not have to shut it down just to refreeze everything.
