My self-insert (shameless) for my writing. Made him a humanoid for the purpose of better dynamics and a more open playing field, so to speak.

Elliot was Ujonati's main target. He's also Jiro's boyfriend. He considers Jiro the love of his life, and wouldn't have it any other way. They met when Elliot was 18 and still in university studying for his master's. They became good friends, but eventually Elliot developed some feelings for Jiro. He confessed his love for him just after he turned 20 and asked Jiro to be his boyfriend, which Jiro happily accepted.

Elliot is a conservationist and occasional general keeper at the Oregon Zoo. He loves his job, and he especially likes working with the birds and reptiles there.

Despite looking quite happy and friendly, Elliot had a rather unpleasant childhood that led to several mental health complications. He was also diagnosed low support needs/level 1 autistic very, very late, like when he was 19. He had to get his own time and money for that because his parents (well, his mother and her "husband") refused to believe he was autistic despite how blatant it was. Possibly because of his mental illness, Elliot has a very hard time letting go of people he knows after they die.

Despite having existed (keyword: existed, not lived) without Jiro for the longest time, Elliot has no idea what he'd do without him. Elliot never hates himself but he does hate what has happened to him, and Jiro is often the one to bring him away from being so angry and upset. However, Elliot does like having someone there as the shoulder he cries on, because he didn't have that at all before.
