Picture:
Alias: N/A
Name: Eltana Remarque
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Weight: 130
Height: 5'6
Hair: Long, silky black.
Eyes: Luminous amber
Personality: Eltana is quite a strange individual, to say the least. An egotistical psychopath, he has a love for himself that would put even Narcissus himself to shame. He cannot empathize with other human beings or feel remorse for his actions, no matter how well he pretends to. Any affection he shows other human beings is purely artificial: he is a selfish monster that thrives on hatred and destruction, which he causes through his profession as a weapons dealer.
Eltana is a decadent aristocrat, often squandering his loads of money on various extravagances. He considers himself part of the elite of Amestris, and often socializes with other aristocrats at art galleries and high brow auctions. Although he strongly dislikes all people, he has a special hatred for those of the lower class, and will not hesitate to show his disdain for them. The poor are no better than animals, as he always says.
However, there is a manipulative and intelligent schemer beneath this eccentric nobleman. He dresses and acts like a woman so people will underestimate him and what he is capable of. Being the remorseless sociopath that he is, he has no qualms over blackmailing or assassinating his competition to ensure that he remains a prominent figure in Central. Do not let his girlish appearance fool you: Eltana is a dangerous individual and is not to be taken lightly.
Physical Description: The first thing most people notice about Eltana is his remarkably feminine appearance, and because of this he is often mistaken for a woman, something he uses to his advantage. He has a lithe and undeveloped frame of someone who has obviously not done a day of physical labor in their life, and remarkably pale skin free of any blemishes. He looks more like a fragile china doll than an actual person.
When in public he always wears darkly-colored clothing of the finest quality, some of it especially extravagant. One of his stranger outfits has a beaked headdress adorned with numerous black and purple feathers. Even at home he wears sweeping robes of silk that bear very intricate designs. You will never find this man wearing normal clothing.
History: Eltana was born into a family of very high status and great wealth. His father was a weapons manufacturer who made a living selling arms to the military, and his mother was a socialite who preferred binge drinking with her friends to raising her child. They both loved him dearly, but were very rarely around, leaving the responsibility of raising him to the hired help.
He attended an expensive school in Central with other privileged children and received below average marks. His teachers noticed that he was an intelligent boy and often berated him for being lazy and wasting his potential, but their words fell on deaf ears. Eltana drifted through his youth as an incredibly lazy, but good-hearted boy who would rather spend his days at a creek with his friends than study hard and take up the family business.
His father, realizing that Eltana would not follow in his footsteps, hired a tutor to teach Eltana alchemy on weekends. He hoped that the boy would at least join the military as a state alchemist to avoid disgracing the family. Eltana showed a lot of potential with ice-based alchemy, but instead of applying himself he often sneaked out to play with his pals. This caused the tutor to quit after a few months of teaching him, much to the disappointment of his father.
One day, however, everything changed: Eltana approached his father in his study a completely different person, wearing a violet dress and sporting long black hair. Before his father could react, Eltana activated an array he had drawn on his hand and froze the air around him into an ice spike, which he then hurled through his father's forehead. His mother disappeared shortly afterward, as did all of the servants present at the house on that fateful day.
Exactly what made Eltana snap is a complete mystery. One day he was smashing mail boxes with his hooligan friends, and the next he was dressing like a woman and producing deadly weapons for the military. Perhaps he was always a cold-blooded lunatic, hiding behind the facade of a normal young man while he secretly plotted against his own family. Or maybe he just woke up one day and decided to take his teacher's advice and make something of himself. Only one thing is certain: he is a dangerous and ruthless man who will do anything to ensure his continued comfort and well-being.
Other: Eltana has a talent for ice alchemy, but rarely uses it because he dislikes fighting his own battles. He can crystallize the air around him into projectiles and barriers through the use of transmutation circles he has sewn onto his gloves.
