dear maria count me in,
there's a story at the bottom

total appearance Elias Maddox stands at an average height of five feet ten inches tall. He is skinny but not as skinny as people might think. He has a very toned, athletic body but prefers to wear clothes that are not very restricting and tight fitting so that can be hard to tell just by first glance.

Eli is a metamorphagus so he has the ability to change his appearance at will. Although, now that he is older he has basically grown out of doing outrageous and crazy thing with his looks and only really uses it to change his hair color when he sees fit. His hair is naturally a dark blonde that only really looks blonde in the right light but he will sometimes use his powers to darken his hair to a dark brown or black depending on his mood or the situation he is in. Since this is such a subtle change and he doesn’t do this every day or even weekly for that matter, most people have no clue of his metamorphagus powers and just assume he dyes his hair whenever he sees it. He keeps his hair short but to the length that he can still spike it up when he wants to be cool. Once he grew it out for a Halloween costume, but other than that, it’s been the basically the same style for quite a few years.

His eye color is, and always has been a bright, hypnotic blue that he has never seen the need to change. He has always gotten comments on how beautiful his eyes were and he has always thought that as well so why change something so perfect? When he was younger though, he had a period of them when he was still learning to control his gift and his eyes got stuck on a really awkward purplish red color that stuck for a month and made him realized how much he really loved his natural eye color.

The clothing he chooses, when he’s not at work, usually consist of baggy jeans and tank tops that would be covered with a button up shirt, if he chose to button it. But he prefers to leave them open with his sleeves rolled up most of the time, giving him that “I really don’t care about what I look like, but I still like to be presentable” type look. When he is in a professional setting, his clothing style doesn’t change much, accept for the fact that he would button up and tuck in his shirt and roll down his sleeves so that no part of his arms are exposed.

His arms, from shoulder to wrist, are completely covered in various tattoos that he doesn’t mind showing off to friends and family but will keep completely covered when he is around student of faculty. As much as he loves them and the stories that come with them, he thinks they are unprofessional and would distract from his work.

Elias really doesn’t have many other distinguishing features other than what his family likes to call his “million watt smile”. When he is happy about something, like truly happy, his perfectly straight white teeth and the happiness that travels to his eyes can “light up even the darkest room”…or so his mom has always told him. He thinks it’s a nice smile, but not as amazing as people say it is.

when the lights go off i wanna ,

[/color] being comfortable, people who try hard, carbonated beverages, authority, his job [/b]

dislikes suck ups, asparagus, people who think things are just going to be handed to them, spiders, large animals

habits & quirks running his fingers through his hair, messing with the cuffs of his shirt, rubbing his nose when he is thinking hard about something

turn-ons Playing hard to get, dark hair, light eyes, sweet smile, not stupid.

turn-offs ignorance, being too easy, clingy people, ditzy people.

full personality If you were to ask any of Elias’s students what their professor was like, they would probably say he was rather strict and sort of boring. He takes his work very seriously and doesn’t want to get involved in any adolescent drama. Sure, he tries to make his lessons interesting, but he doesn’t show any individual favoritism towards any student and he treats them all as one unit, which might be the reason people think he’s boring. He sees any failure from a student as a he himself failing as a teacher so he tries to make sure that everyone, even the most stubborn ones work hard and learn from him.

Outside of school however, he is a totally different person. His friends sort of see him as the badass of the group who is always getting all the girls when they go out. He is a smooth talker with the ladies and occasionally the hot guy and knows how to get what he wants. Although, he would enjoy settling down with a good relationship of some sorts but until that happens, he is occupied with the random hookups.

He dislikes people who try too hard to get his attention. That goes for inside and outside of work. When someone in let’s say a bar, was fawning over him and just being overly clingy, that would definitely not be the person he would take home that night. He prefers the type who plays hard to get. The one who he could tell was looking at him from across the room but didn’t jump at the chance to talk to him. He enjoys being the one to chase in a relationship. When it comes to his students, he hates suck ups and those who will try to be nice to get good grades when they don’t deserve them. Honestly, he would like to grade the ones who do that down for being annoying, but since it’s unethical to do such things, he just ignores them and makes them earn their own grades.

When it comes to relationships, he isn’t trying very hard to find one honestly; if fate decides that he is ready for one that would be the time. He has only had one really serious relationship with a girl he met in school and they were engaged once, but broke it off after around a year of engagement. He still thinks about her every now and then that causes him to be cautious about whom he gives his heart to.

complete history Twenty eight years ago in a small wizarding community in Helsinki, Finland Maxwell and Georgina Setälä welcomed their first and only son into the world, naming him Elias after Maxwell’s great grandfather. They knew something was peculiar about Elias from the day he was born when for the first few weeks, his eye color would change every few minutes or so; not just flashing normal colors but changing to strange hues of orange, pink, red, and every color in between. They knew that he was a metamorphagus but as far as they knew, they had never had a metamorphagus in either side of their family and for one to just appear like that was strange and almost unheard of as it was a rare genetic trait. After doing some heavy research however, they found that about 13 generations back on Georgina’s side of the family, there was indeed one and the mystery was solved.

Now, Elias’s upbringing wasn’t that much different from any other pureblood wizarding family. His family was moderately wealthy as his father owned a very successful apothecary in Finland. Of course, he grew up thinking that purebloods were superior to muggleborns and half-bloods and that he was not to intermingle his blood with anything that wasn’t pure. This was drilled into his brain from when he was very small and it was what he came to know and he didn’t question it.

Around the age of 5 he began to show signs of magic, having his toys fly around him, or having things randomly fall of shelves whenever he would throw a fit. That is typical for a young wizard, but another thing he was experiencing was having his appearance change whenever he changed his mood. When he was in a happy content mood, he would look like his normal self with his sparkling blue eyes and light brown hair. Although, when he was angry, his eyes would turn a jet black as would his hair, when he was sad, his eyes would turn a stormy grey and his hair would grow to about shoulder length, etc. His parents hated taking him places like to stores to shop because if he couldn’t get what he wanted, he would become sad or mad or whatever and his appearance would often change so drastically that his parents would often lose him in the store if he slipped off in that mood. It wouldn’t take him long to calm down and return to normal but he was sure to have added many grey hairs to his mother and father’s head over the years from doing that.

Not many interesting things happened over the next few years. Around the age of 10, he learned to control his metamorphagus powers for the most part, except when he would become unexpectedly happy or overwhelmingly mad, he would lose control for a while. Around this age, he also learned that he really did like his outward appearance and he didn’t really see the need for changing it like he had heard other metamorphagi liked to do, and he would almost never change it on purpose by this point. At 11 years old, he received his letter to Durmstrang and his parents were thrilled. He was sorted into Isbjorn, which was his father’s former house and they couldn’t have been happier.

Not many interesting things happened in his first few years at school. He made many friends and was considered “popular” or what have you. He did average in his school work, excelling in certain subjects and dreading others but Charms seemed to stand out for him above everything. He loved the subject; for some reason it came more naturally to him than any other subject he studied and he quickly became the professor’s favorite pupil. In his 3rd year, he was asked to tutor other students who were struggling in the subject and he agreed and that was when he first learned that he wanted to teach someday. The classmates he was tutoring seemed to really understand the way he taught them and he loved the impact his help was having on their grades and their understanding of the subject. His third year was also the year of the Battle of Hogwarts in which the Dark Lord fell from power. Although the population of Durmstrang was largely in support of Lord Voldemort and his ideas at this time, Elias hadn’t really sided with anyone, so this had little effect on him at all.

Elias became prefect in his fifth year and he really enjoyed the power and authority it gave him. He didn’t necessarily like giving out punishments, but when students deserved them, he thought it was only fair that they server whatever time they deserved for their crime. It was then that he learned the joys of authority in the right sense and decided that if he were to ever become a professor, he would be a strict one who didn’t mess around. This year was also the year when he would experience the greatest horror of his life. He was hanging out with friends one night doing something that was rare for Elias, in breaking rules. For one, they were out past curfew and for two, they were hanging out in the forest. He knew they weren’t supposed to be there, and he even tried to talk them out of it but they said it would be “fun” and he needed to “loosen up a bit” so he went along with their idea. He wasn’t really sure what happened, but he ended up venturing out on his own in the forest and stumbling upon an acromantula who really didn’t want him to be there. He ran for his life and he was glad he was in such good shape because he wouldn’t have made it out alive if he wasn’t. That was one of the last times he listened to his friends about doing something stupid.

In his sixth year, he met who he thought was the love of his life in a beautiful dark haired Sjenert Katt girl by the name of Sonya. They began dating and after a few months he even introduced her to his parents. She was from a very upstanding pureblood family so immediately his parents loved her and welcomed her into their family. He proposed to her a year later at graduation and she said yes; they moved into together shortly after. Almost a year to the day after that, she decided to call off the engagement, not saying much other than she was sorry and she hoped he found someone else someday. He always assumed she had found someone else, but just didn’t have the heart to tell him and that ate him up inside for some time.

Elias moved out of the house his parents had bought them a few months after she did, moving into a small apartment in Helsinki. He still owns that house but he hasn’t visited it to this day. While in Helsinki, he helped out at his father’s shop, not really doing much with his life for a few years. But this time he was about 23 and his family was starting to get a bit fed up with him not doing anything. They threatened to cut him off if he didn’t figure out what he wanted in life and that was the jumpstart he needed to get things moving. He knew what he wanted to do, but there were no open teaching positions for the subject of charms at any of the magical institutions he looked at, even though they all told him he was a prime candidate for the position if it ever opened up. He began interning with the professor who had taught him everything he knew back at Durmstrang. It was nice, but as he wasn’t actually teaching anything, he grew bored of the job, hoping that someone would retire or die so that he could have his dream job.

Two years later, he was 25 and his wish was granted. The Charms professor at the Brazilian Wizarding School had retired and Elias was, of course, the top choice candidate for the job just as they had all promised him. He accepted the job, and although not at his first choice of location, he loved being able to help shape the minds of the young witches and wizards in the subject he loved the most. He taught at the school for 3 years, loving every minute of it, but not exactly loving the change of climate he had to experience from moving from Finland to Brazil. In his opinion, Brazil was too hot and humid and he much preferred the cold climate of his homeland. That was one of the main reasons that when a teaching position opened up at Durmstrang, his Alma matter, he didn’t hesitate to jump at the chance to take it before someone else did. He would miss the students he had come to know and love, but this, teaching Charms at Durmstrang was what he had been working at for his whole life.
