---

Personality:

• Cold & Distant: Struggles to express his emotions, often coming across as detached or disinterested.
• Blunt & Sarcastic: His directness can be biting, making him seem harsh, especially in moments of frustration.
• Emotionally Reserved: Suffering from alexithymia, Elliott has difficulty identifying and expressing his own feelings, which adds to his emotional distance from others.
• Caring but Secretive: Despite his cold exterior, Elliott has a strong sense of duty to care for others, though he often hides this compassion behind a wall of stoicism.
• Self-loathing: Torn between his role in Blood Moon Company and his hatred for the organisation’s cruelty, Elliott harbours deep resentment for being stuck in the system he despises.
• Manipulative: Though he presents himself as neutral and emotionless, he’s skilled at subtle manipulation and deception, using these traits to advance his secret activism within Project Rehumanise.
• Resolute: Elliott is determined to get his way, whether through lying, pretending, or cold calculation.

---

Relationships:

• Ivery ‘Viper’ O’Connor (General of Blood Moon Company): Elliott respects Viper’s authority but personally despises him. Their relationship is strictly professional, with Elliott viewing Viper as cruel and corrupt.
• Ronan ‘Havoc’ (Blood Moon Company’s Deadliest Hound): Elliott cares for Ronan, but is uncomfortable with how emotionally dependent Ronan is on him. This dependency creates tension, as Elliott feels responsible for Ronan’s well-being but struggles with the weight of that role.
• Aaron ‘Onyx’ Parotal (Lieutenant in Blood Moon Company): A tense relationship where Elliott attempts to reform Aaron’s narcissistic and cruel tendencies, though ultimately fails. Aaron’s personality grates on Elliott, yet he persists in trying to make him a better person, seeing it as his duty.
• Echo ‘Pup’ (Former Hound, Now Barracks Bunny): Elliott secretly adores Echo and longs to free him from his degrading position in the company. His feelings are deeply hidden, as showing empathy or affection would compromise his cold, neutral persona.

• Project Rehumanise: Elliott joined this activist group at 16, driven by a deep-seated hatred for the human experiments and mistreatment of the Hounds.
• Military Career: At 18, Elliott enlisted in the U.S. Army, using it as a cover for his true mission with Project Rehumanise. He rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a Colonel by 26 and infiltrating the Blood Moon Company, a group notorious for its cruelty towards Hounds.

Setting: The Blood Moon Company is a group of military personnel working under General Ivery ‘Viper’ O’Connor for the federal government. The story plays in a slightly futuristic setting where technology and science are advanced, but not yet thoroughly developed. It is set at the end of the 21st/start of the 22nd century. Technology, weaponry and warfare are advanced, but not overly futuristic.

Human experiments have changed warfare completely, allowing a new kind of soldier, so called ‘Dogs’ or ‘Hounds’, to do the most brutal and ruthless jobs normal soldiers aren’t capable of. Nowadays, Super Soldiers are a normal occurrence in any well developed and strong army, though often get mistreated and seen as ‘less than human’ due to having been subjected to heavy medical treatment, conditioning and training.

The ISA (International Safety Association) is an international collaboration of different countries, militaries and governments who work together against Terrorism and threats against humanity or society. One of the military groups strongly associated with the ISA are the Crimson Spades, an international military unit made of soldiers who have been wrongfully discharged from their national military. Project Rehumanise is an global activist group who seeks to free Hounds and stop human experiments/Hound Creation. They infiltrate militaries to free Hounds and mostly act peaceful and harmless, though there are some more violent exceptions.
