Description


Pre-OW
Coming from a small, semi isolated town, Elias had spent his whole life living with his father and helping him run the family business, aka the only Inn travelers will run into for hours. While he didn't spend a ton of time talking to guests, he was around them enough to start being exposed to new things, including the supernatural. After finding an interest in the subject, he spent years trying to gain as much knowledge he could on the subject. H̶o̶w̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶?̶ ̶W̶h̶o̶ ̶k̶n̶o̶w̶s̶!̶ ̶B̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶t̶h̶o̶d̶s̶ ̶w̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶t̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶p̶o̶t̶e̶n̶t̶i̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶i̶l̶l̶e̶g̶a̶l̶. Unfortunately, information was difficult to come by, and even harder to practice freely. So when he heard about a school completely dedicated to magic, well, how could he not at least see what it was?

At OW! The Abridged version!

Year's 1-5 ithink

Things started out well enough, with the exception of Elias being scared of 97% of the student body. Turns out hell school has demons in it, who knew? It took a bit of time, but he was eventually able to adjust. And between studying and getting lost every time he left the house, he even found a few people he got along with! No strong relationships, but that wasn't really what he was here for. He took his classes, socialized b̶a̶r̶e̶l̶y̶ a little, and mostly just kept to himself.
Things started to get a bit more...eventful during the tournament, which he was forced to participate in. He met Eamon right before it started, who was one of the first friends he made and talked to more then once! Unfortunately, they were also opponents in the first round, and when they didn't feel like killing each other, Professor Helmy decided the best course of action was to throw a bomb at them. Thankfully for the professor, Elias's second opponent, Kimo, was much more intent on killing him. Kimo lost that round, but filled with determination, he vowed that he'd kill the human no matter what, regardless of time, place, or how many people he accidentally hurts in his attempt to do so. The tournament was pretty uneventful after that, until the last round, where Elias died, so that was fun. Then he went to the after tournament dance, which was fine until Kimo showed up and tried to make good on that aforementioned promise. There was a big fight, stuff happened, Elias passed out at some point and that was the end of that.
After that, there was another period of inactivity, at least until almost everyone disappeared and the world started ending. The main focus of this summary mostly just went along with the more competent people without causing or doing a whole lot (except for that one fight at the library he and Kimo started because clearly there was nothing that was more important going on). He felt a little bad about doing so little to help, until one of the spirits said they needed to posses him so everyone would know what to do next, which made Elias decide, "Actually, you know what? I'm fine not helping so how about I just leave and-" and then he was possessed because they were all trying to stop the literal end of the world and your feelings don't matter, Elias. His punishment for stalling them all was to almost drown in the lake later (it was probably an unrelated event, but still). After that whole incident, the entire Otherworlde campus teleported from Canada to Russia, so if he ever thought about leaving too bad because this boy can not afford a plane ticket.
Things continued on as normal after that. He went out less, but hey, why would he need to leave right? Between his general weeks of seclusion he still managed to meet people, whether he wanted to or not u̶s̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶̶̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶g̶a̶i̶n̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶e̶s̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶f̶e̶e̶l̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ ̶E̶l̶i̶a̶s̶. The last real major event was the holiday dance. He hadn't planned on attending, but what the hell, he figured he may as well prove to himself that there won't be a major disaster every time he left the house. Evidently, that proved to be a bad idea, because his existence kicked off yet another fight that nearly killed multiple people (most notably Chloe, who took a hit for him, leaving her d̶e̶a̶d̶ in a coma). That pretty much brings us to the current semester, where he's determined to leave his dorm as little as possible, and make sure no one will ever have to almost die for him again.

Years 6-8
Okay, so what happened this term? Hmm, well, after Chloe's tragic demise, our focus character made a vow to leave his dorm as little as possible. ...And then immediately left his dorm to get supplies and got interrogated about the event (but he denied knowing about it the whole time, even after his lies were obvious, very normal very healthy). Of course there were a lot of complex feelings brought up by all of that, but since we've already established that no one cares about Elias' feelings, this summary shall ignore them. A close friend of his came to visit and told him that he was one of the most important people in his life, that he loved him and wanted him to be happy, and would always be there if he needed him, to which Elias responded with a heartfelt "oh, uh, thanks...! You're cool too! o̶h̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶g̶o̶d̶ ̶w̶h̶y̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶p̶p̶e̶n̶i̶n̶g̶". He switched bodies with the necromancy professor, so that was (not) fun. Got involved in some party games in the lounge, which might've been nice if they didn't involve watching people die or being set in locations ripped from his own personal traumas.  But thankfully after that things stayed fairly uneventful, although this is the point in time where our protagonist decided that he would no longer identify as a human, but instead, if anyone asked, he would tell people he was a dragon. Ah yes. The perfect plan. This was one of many very stressful lies he told during this time, but since Ramping Up Stress was basically one of the only things he did during these years, your humble record keeper finds it's inclusion necessary. u̶g̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶l̶o̶n̶g̶e̶r̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶r̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ ̶I̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶,̶ ̶p̶l̶e̶a̶s̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶d̶ ̶l̶e̶t̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶e̶n̶d̶  He tried his hardest to isolate himself, but running into people really couldn't be helped. Finally met Chloe again, after avoiding her for pff, what, 8 or 9 months? Thankfully the didn't get a chance to talk much, but she didn't bring up anything that'd previously happened last time they met up (still, can't assume he's out of the woods yet). And so that brings us to now, a full two years of time on campus, approaching Halloween. His hope is that he he'll get to spend it quietly, alone, not having to worry about any threats to his life or any negative experiences ruining the one holiday that he had a decent experience with. But Elias doesn't get what he hopes for, does he? ̶o̶h̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶g̶o̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶,̶ ̶w̶h̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶ ̶a̶m̶ ̶i̶ ̶d̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶, l̶i̶t̶e̶r̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Another Halloween came and went, and it continues to be the only good holiday by virtue of not having any of the bad things that happen affect him.

Years 9-12? Isthatright?justyouknowanotheryear

Nothing huge happened around this time. Ran into people, despite his best efforts, missed homework (whoops), nearly got killed by giant hallway snakes… You know, the usual. Christmas was bland this year, thank god. Valentines’ Day was uhh something, but hey, could’ve been worse and it got worse with the afterparty, somehow. Whether it’s something that’s become more common or if he’s just become more attuned to it, he’s noticed a lot more people…pointing things out about him, this year. Things he’d rather they didn’t. Things that they seem to think he can’t figure out on his own, since they feel the need to remind him all the god damn time. As a response (or maybe just as a growing habit), he’s continued on with the lying. Sometimes about species, sometimes about emotional states or what he does with his time, sometimes about having not done things everyone clearly saw him do. But it’s not really much to worry about, since mostly people don’t point it out. Otherwise…yeah, not much going on. It’s all sort of fading into a routine of do nothing, talk to no one, then do it all again forever.

(Decided to switch the placement of history and relationships, since I figured people were probably more interested in the latter lol.)
