So Once Was I
Chris Cummings for Elliot
Elliot can be described as the rule follower, the disciplined one of the duo. He doesn’t see things as creatively as Moriddian does, and he constantly has to adjust his way of thinking and seeing things. Elliot also has a much rarer fiery side to him, and this diversity allows him to bond with many different kinds of people in different ways.
He is a dream Viah, Elliot holds a large amount of power both magically and politically. He treats his role as a Viah with the utmost respect. Because he holds his status so highly, he often puts a lot of pressure on himself to live up to his ideals.
Narrative role: Elliot is the main character; the story primarily follows his perspective.
You don't have to do anything moriddian. This, however, is my job (pause) … you can just go back to the realm of souls and do whatever your so-called (almost taunting) ‘grand celestial duties are supposed to be as a god of death.
I can show you. I can show you how the mortals are, how they live, how they feel, everything good, what… What living Is! I can show you in my realm. I’ll take you with me to his headspace, where his dreams are where his memories are! I’ll show you! surely you could understand more, maybe everything I have -
You’re missing the big picture, this is the beauty of mortals, they feel, they dream, they have ambition and drive to do anything they want. This child is filled with love and wonder and curiosity!
