14. Does your character remember names or faces easier?
Definitely faces! Considering he ends up losing a majority of his memories at the age of ~21, the only things he recognizes from his past are faces and certain object, and even that isn't reliable half the time. But, this hunch is what ends up leading him to dig into his past with the help of Spy. So she finds out that her and Medic's pasts are linked and they kinda go from there!
18. Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others?
Definitely ambition. Wisdom is needed sometimes, they know that, but what good is wisdom without action? They especially admire Scout, since he's constantly trying to improve himself, both in his work and otherwise (thought he's usually not very good at it. lol). He'd much rather be constantly learning and experiencing new things than know all of the secrets of the world automatically.
21. If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others?
I would say it really depends! If it only affects Eli, he ends up blaming himself and shutting down. If it affects the people he cares about, he goes Right into "hunt down the bastard that hurt my family" mode. Which, y'know, isn't always helpful, but he's got the spirit. This is especially true with his major amnesia. At the time, he had a lot of issues with substance abuse, so he just assumed that it had something to do with it (he's wrong, but not like he could've known that).
Eli's past is kinda sad, to say the least. He was given up for science at a very young age, where a government-funded project attempted to essentially make supersoldiers from children (this didn't exactly work out). There were other children that were mutated drastically, but Eli kept a vast majority of his perceived humanity (the only things that really end up being uncanny about him is that his eyes are an unnatural color, usually bright green but this is up to change, and the fact that he can mimic voices to the t.) with an added plus, being able to be taught subjects and trades incredibly quickly. Then, he escaped the facility he was held at and quickly adapted into society. However, there were contingency plans for this, specifically neural implants that would release neurotoxin at a button press; but, in exchange for surviving this, the event caused major retrograde amnesia.
