(we're just misguided ghosts)

[elliot gerald greene]

Meet Elliot Greene. He's classified as a nerd in a lot of ways, but don't let the stereotype fool you. He's not a pushover by any means, in fact he's quite the opposite. He says exactly what he thinks, whether it's hurtful or not. There really isn't much of a filter between his brain and his mouth. He's very good with all sorts of technology, so if you ever need something electronic fixed, he's the man to go to. He's twenty-one years old and will be celebrating his twenty-second birthday in January. Elliot has grown up between Chicago and Elizabeth's Hollow for the majority of his life, as his parents were divorced when he was younger and his father ended up in Elizabeth's Hollow, so he traveled between the two places. When he turned eighteen, he officially moved to Georgia for good, although he does still go back to Chicago every now and then.

When it comes to friends, they would have to be people who have a thicker skin, per se. It's not as though he's particularly malicious in his word choice, but he doesn't sugar coat things either, so sensitive people probably aren't going to want to be friends with him. The good thing about him is that he can always be trusted for a very honest opinion. He's not so good when it comes to making friends just because he has a daily routine and he doesn't like straying from it, which doesn't lend much time to spontaneity so new friendships can form, but it's not out of the question. I can't see this being a huge category, but everyone needs friends and Elliot here is no different. His closer friends are probably people he has known since he was younger, but I'm up for pretty much anything.

Love, well who knows with this subject. As stated before, he's a very blunt person. A lot of that has to do with the fact that he does not really know how to empathize with others. He's much like the technology he so loves, he sees the world in black and white, something either is or it isn't. There's no in-between for Elliot, he very rarely sees shades of grey. If they are there, it's something that pretty much has to broken down for him to really get it, and even then it's iffy. Emotions like love fall into shades of grey for him. That's not to say he can't feel them, he just doesn't pay much attention to them like other people do. Elliot is based off logic and things that can be calculated and feelings can't be, in his mind. It would probably take something pretty interesting to hold his attention. If you have any any ideas, I'm more than happy to hear them, just know that I usually don't sign away my characters to love without role-playing first to see how they click, but I'm certainly open to ideas.

When it comes to enemies, Elliot probably has his fair share. He personally doesn't enjoy making enemies, but he tends to do so. He probably comes off as arrogant and at times he is, so that probably turns people off. If he doesn't like something he'll be sure to mention it, so there's always offending someone in that way too. He's a geek of sorts and has been for as long as he can remember, so he probably has the typical enemies from back in high school who used to give him a hard time. He can also be snippy too toward others if someone bothers him when he's doing something, or tries to break his routine. If you have any thoughts, throw them out there, I like enemies, they're often fun.

wellll, ella here could be frenemies. she's seventeen and graduated from high school just this year, so idk if they would meet regularly. however, i do think it would be interesting if they met and he says something to her and she gets all pouty and upset because of it. xD

[elliot gerald greene]

Ella & Elliot

First off, thanks for replying! Let's see here, I had a quick thought that might get the two of them together to meet that would have them interact with each other, since there is a bit of an age difference although it's not too big. Elliot here goes to the University. I'm not sure if Ella is planning on going to college, but if she is and since she's recently graduated, maybe he could get paired up with her to give her a tour of the university for some sort of project he has, perhaps? I think him making a comment to her that's sort of...well, mean, would be interesting to see as well and is definitely up his alley. He probably wouldn't even realized that he upset her, in fact it's more than likely he wouldn't. So yes, I do think that would be fun.

[ella michelle thomas]

weeeeellll, ella deferred college for a year because she was going to go on this foreign exchange thing, but she ended up not going.... soo she decided she might as well just take a year to make money and stuff. i doubt she would go to the university for a project, but as of five seconds ago, ella's brother goes there. xD sooo, maybe she gets all lost and stuff and asks him for help? o.o

Ella & Elliot

Well I more meant for a project on his end not really hers, just like to show a potential new student around but yeah that makes complete sense as to why she would not want to, it was just a quick idea anyway. ^^ Sure, that sounds like it will work out. He could be going in that direction and instead of explaining could just show her instead, and perhaps they get to talking that way.

[ella michelle thomas]

well yeah, but she wouldn't be a potential new student. xD but we've got it all worked out, soooooo thread? (:

Ella & Elliot

As for Ella, sure that sounds fun. I'll try to get it started today, if not, tomorrow for sure.

[jerseygirl]

so, for some reason! i see these two
being friends at first for like a while
but then getting in a silly fight over
something and holding a grudge? lol who
know something fun and dramatic!!

[elliot gerald greene]

Charlotte & Elliot

For as logical as Elliot claims to be, I can see him holding a grudge over something stupid, so this works well for me. I don't have an idea as to what thtat something might be yet, but I'll keep thinking and let you know if anything comes to me. Did you have any ideas in regards to that aspect?

[persephone rose livingston]

I just wanted to say, I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He was amazing in (500) Days of Summer and in Manic. (: Anywho, I have Persephone here. And, I can see her and Elliot getting along. She’d admire how straightforward he is. She doesn’t really like how people sugar-coat things and be a little too honest about things. They’d probably end up butting heads every now and then. But, who knows. They might not. Seph might actually end up on his nerves because she can be so stubborn. I’m not sure how’d they would know each other, though. Maybe they could have a run in and start up a conversation? Or, she could have met him back in the day when he was visiting? Heck maybe they could even end up like this:



Haha. I’m a sucker for Zooey/Joe. But, it would probably be a long time before Persephone would even feel that way. And who knows if Elliot would even like her like that. Anywho, feel free to suggest something or delete this. I’m just trying to get some plottage.

[elliot gerald greene]

Persephone & Elliot

I attempt not to ship on faces but I'll be honest and say that I absolutely adore Zooey and Joe together too, they're adorable. We can definitely see how they get along because it would be interesting and I'm not doing anything with Elliot at the moment. Most of the people I plotted with are gone now for him and his muse has been iffy lately, but I would like to get him involved again and so perhaps we could help each other that way. So, onto ideas and such! Elliot doesn't open up too easily to others, it sort of sounds like they have that in common. He is perfectly happy being by himself because it's just easier that way, but I'm sure we could get them intereacting if they bump into each other, or the other idea you had where they met on one of his visits when they were younger would work fine too. Perhaps his dad (since that's who lives in Elizabeth's Hollow) worked with one of Seph's parents at one point and maybe they met at a work function or something like that? Maybe they don't really know each other too well but enough so that they aren't complete strangers, maybe that would help them talk a bit more to each other. It's just a though, but maybe it could work or I'm open to any other ideas as well.

Also, I do see them getting along because although he might butt heads with her due to both of them being stubborn, he much prefers stubborn people to push overs because push overs aren't any fun and he really doesn't respect them. Stubborn people who fight for what they want though, he can respect that, even if they don't agree with what he says. It makes things interesting in his book, so I could see arguments but ultimately I don't think it'd hurt their relationship, at least not on his end.

[persephone rose livingston]

That sounds good. Their parents could have made them talk every time they had work functions, so they eventually became good acquaintances over the years? And maybe they run into each other one day and recognize each other? Then, from there they would start talking. That sounded a lot better in my head. Haha. But, yeah. I think they’d be interesting. Persephone doesn’t really open up to people, either. The only person she trusts is her sister, so maybe, over time, she could eventually open up to Elliot too. She’d probably end up actually wanting to be friends with him, even though that’s rare in her case. She would love being able to talk to someone who’s just as stubborn as her and would be truthful to her no matter what.

[elliot gerald greene]

Persephone & Elliot

That all sounds good and will work for me. Any thoughts on where they should bump into each other at? I could get a thread going if you'd like.

[persephone rose livingston]

Hmm. Maybe they could both be getting coffee and they're in line next to each other and they recognize one another? Or something along the lines of that? And if you could start a thread, that would be great.

[elliot gerald greene]

Persephone & Elliot

That works fine for me, I'll start one by tomorrow and link you either through here or through PM.
