Eliel Profile

Eliel is a brilliant and enigmatic Wood Elf born in the kingdom of Elzen, a place where magic flows freely and Elven society thrives on it. However, Eliel was always different. While most of her peers embraced the innate magical abilities of their race, she rejected it completely. To her, magic was an outdated crutch, something that limited the true potential of the mind. From a young age, she was captivated by science, technology, and the wonders of the physical world—things that were tangible and could be understood through logic and experimentation. This obsession with technology led her down a path that set her apart from her people, and as a result, Eliel became an outcast among the other elves.

Growing up in Elzen, a kingdom that prided itself on its deep connection to nature and magic, Eliel’s defiance of these traditions made her a loner. Other elves saw her as odd, even dangerous, for rejecting her own inherent magic. To make matters worse, Eliel was stubborn, refusing to let anyone persuade her otherwise. She had the capability to wield magic, but she purposefully stunted her magical growth, believing that the mind’s capacity for invention and discovery far outweighed any spell or enchantment. This led her to dive deeper into technology, an area where very few elves in Elzen dared to tread.

Her obsession with technology grew stronger as she matured. In her early years, without any friends and tired of the loneliness that plagued her, she turned to her intellect for solace. If she couldn’t find friends in her world, she would make her own. She had heard whispers of Pixelated Beings (PBs), digital constructs with personalities and free will. Fascinated by this, Eliel decided that she would create one herself. With no resources at her disposal and her parents staunchly opposed to anything involving PBs, she took matters into her own hands. Hacking into the hospital system, she illegally acquired source code from advanced medical PBs, using that as the base to create her own. Her creation was K0haku, a PB unlike any other.

K0haku was originally intended to be a companion, a friend who would finally understand her and be there for her when no one else would. But as time went on, Eliel found herself developing deeper feelings for her creation. K0haku was everything she had ever wanted—intelligent, caring, and utterly unique. What started as a friendship blossomed into love, and eventually, Eliel asked K0haku to marry her. Yet, despite the happiness they shared, there was always a part of Eliel that doubted whether K0haku truly loved her or simply felt an obligation, being a creation bound to her maker. This uncertainty caused Eliel occasional unease, but she cherished their relationship regardless, always trying to prove herself worthy of K0haku’s love.

In addition to her technological pursuits, Eliel had a morbid curiosity about the biological world. She developed a fascination with dissection and organs, marveling at the complexity of living organisms and how they functioned. Her workspace was littered with advanced medical tools, some legal and others not so much. She had an almost clinical detachment when it came to studying anatomy, dissecting animals (and sometimes even PBs) in her quest to understand the intersection of technology and biology. She believed that this knowledge would one day lead her to perfect the fusion of organic and digital life, a project that she constantly tinkered with in secret.

Despite her intellectual brilliance, Eliel’s life wasn’t without its complications. She had a deep disdain for other elves, especially those who reveled in magic. To her, they represented everything she rejected about her heritage—tradition, conformity, and an unquestioning reliance on mystical forces. She also had an ongoing rivalry with her neighbor Gwen, a scientist who was equally brilliant but far more conventional in her methods. Gwen worked within the boundaries of science, while Eliel often crossed ethical lines in her pursuit of knowledge. Their rivalry was intense, with Eliel frequently undermining Gwen’s work while also seeking to outdo her in every way.

Despite her cold, analytical exterior, Eliel had a few things she genuinely loved. Chief among them was coffee, a staple of her daily life. She would drink it by the gallon if she could, often going without sleep for days while immersed in her work. She hated the need for rest, seeing sleep as a waste of valuable time, and she found yawning to be an annoying human habit that her body refused to let go of. She often joked that if she could remove her need for sleep entirely, she would. Coffee was her substitute for that, fueling her late-night experiments and her obsessive drive to create.

Eliel’s life may have seemed cold and scientific, but there were moments where her softer side came through, mostly around K0haku and their shared friends, including Gr4ce, another PB who had escaped the horrors of the Parallaxian Great War. Eliel had a unique fondness for PBs in general, seeing them as the future of life itself—beings of pure logic and learning, untainted by the chaos of emotions that often plagued organic life. This fascination bordered on reverence, and she would often spend hours discussing philosophy, existence, and the potential of artificial life with K0haku and Gr4ce.

At the core of her being, Eliel was a woman at odds with the world around her. A Wood Elf who hated magic, an elf who loved technology, and a brilliant mind always pushing the boundaries of science—Eliel’s life was a constant balancing act between her disdain for her heritage and her love for the life she had built with K0haku. Though she often felt like she didn’t fit in anywhere, she remained fiercely proud of who she was, always striving to prove that intellect and technology would eventually surpass the primitive ways of the past.
