Brief History:
Elias is the only child of the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Acorn, and is rightful heir to the throne. Born in the Kingdom, Elias has spent most of his relatively short life within the confines of the Castle and has yet to go far beyond the borders of what will one day be his Kingdom. When Elias was young, he had a variety of tutors in the daily rigors of royal life as well as general knowledge... one of which was Blinx the Cat, the newly appointed record keeper for the Kingdom. From him, Elias learned that there was much more to the outside world beyond his borders than he could ever dream of and wished nothing more than to see the various races and places before his tenure as King would eventually begin. Unfortunately, both of his parents discouraged this as neither of them wanted their only son and heir traipsing about society unprotected like a tourist.
Nevertheless, when Elias got older, he eventually began sneaking out the Castle on his own. Having never been able to tour his own Kingdom unless escorted, much less leave the Kingdom itself, Elias decided to take it upon himself to learn and see for himself what it was like to be free of protocol. At first hesitant to go even beyond the walls of the Castle, eventually the young Prince began journeying forth on something of a regular basis but stayed away from the general populace as little more than an observer as his face was much too well known for him to mingle.
It came to be that one night during a leisurely trek through the woods, Elias came upon a startling sight - a group of the Kingdom's own guards surrounding and attacking a defenseless human boy led by Sergeant Simian, a high-ranking officer of the Kingdom's Defense Corps. His sense of right and wrong that was instilled in him by the father he adored flared up and the young Prince was forced to reveal himself to stop the confrontation before it got any worse and Simian and his group were forced to retreat after a short scuffle and a heated argument. It was here that Elias first met a young Gary Landale, whose parents had been in the outskirts of the Acorn Kingdom documenting it's history with the permission of the King. Rather than let Gary know who he truly was, Elias came up with the alias of "Bastion" and a friendship was born. In turn, Elias managed to convince his father, who himself had already been considering it due to past incidents already, to rid the Kingdom of Simian and his motley group of militant miscreants.
Every chance he could, Elias would venture forth to spend time with his newfound friend - the
first one he'd ever really had that was on his age level. Unfortunately, as he grew the demands of his life as the Prince of Acorn began taking more and more of his time as his father meticulously prepared the boy to one day ascend him and Elias found himself unable to go out as he wished. By the time either boy realized it, Gary's parents were moving on and the two had to seperate. Heart broken, Elias swore to remain Gary's friend for life and the human boy returned the oath. This done, they parted ways and have not seen one another for many years since.
On his eighteen birthday, Elias was named the official "Guardian of the Emerald" by his father and placed in charge of the Acorn Kingom's recently acquired Chaos Emerald. Honored to accept the role, young Elias has yet to see just what trouble... and adventure... that little gem will bring him.
Abilities
Air-Dash: Elias cannot curl into a ball in midair, but he can perform an abrupt boost forward in any direction, using his tail for momentum. He can use this move to reach areas he could not normally reach, or break down light barriers.
Likes: Taking walks through the forest in the Spring, spending time with his parents, having fun with Gary Landale, playing the lyre
Dislikes: Cruelty, stormy weather, being incessantly reminded of his rank, injustice, large crowds
Personality: At heart, Elias is a kind, gentle young man who is able to empathize and innately understand people relatively simply. His royal heritage has caused him to live a rather sheltered life, and thus his naivete about the way the "real world" works sometimes makes him seem almost childishly foolish. His inexperience with people has also left him with a quiet shyness around those he doesn't know, as well as females of any class or race. However, Elias has a strong sense of right and wrong and isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes in... even if it leads him into conflict with people who don't quite have the same near black and white views he does.
Quick Step: Elias is not fast, but when he needs to move, he can stand in one place and slowly build up speed, eventually running forward much more quickly than he could normally run (although he is vulnerable to attack). Think of it as a slower Spin Dash without the spin.
Climbing: With his lightweight body and prehensile fingers, Elias is a climber extraordinare, capable of scurrying up almost any surface with surprising speed. He can use his tail to dangle from tree branches and the like, however it is uncomfortable for him and he usually refrains from it.
Swimming: Elias is a talented swimmer, more than capable of taking care of himself in the water.
Acrobatics: Naturally inclined towards difficult feats of balance, agility, and coordination thanks to both his personality and his body, Elias is a master acrobat.
Master-of-Arms: Elias isn't a complete master-at-arms, but he has been trained to be proficient in the usage of several weapons, including swords, polearms, staves, bows, and a pair of small sickles which he usually carries with him.
Relatives: Maxmillian Acorn (father), Alicia Acorn (mother)
