Background

Elliot Samuels was born in upstate New York in 1932, the only son of a carpenter who married his high-school sweetheart. Elliot's father served in the Pacific in the second World War, and returned home to find his wife had cheated on him with their neighbour, and left with his son to New York, where they settled in Brooklyn when Elliot was thirteen. Elliot was drafted to be sent to Korea in 1952, but by the time he had finished his basic training the armistice was declared, and he avoided having to actually go to the front lines. He returned home to New York, and trained to become a firefighter, meeting his wife to be in 1954, and fathering a son, Matthew, in 1956. After discovering that his wife was cheating on him with a co-worker, Elliot filed for divorce. She kept the child, the house, and most of their worldly possessions, while Elliot had to move into the fire station. Now he only gets to see his son on weekends. At least he got to keep the dog.

IC Events

Traits

Powers

• Human: Elliot is a perfectly ordinary caucasian male human, with no supernatural qualities whatsoever. This gives him the benefit of being able to do pretty much whatever he wants, whenever he wants, within the bounds of both physical and man-made laws. He is in good physical condition, and can lift about twice his own body weight, with effort, run a mile in about four and a half minutes if he pushes himself, and hold his breath for up to 45 seconds. Bullets will kill him, as will a baseball bat to the back of the skull. He bruises and bleeds like anyone else. His blood type is AB+, and he'd like to keep as much of it inside him as possible, unless he's donating it. If something out of the ordinary doesn't get him first, he'll probably live to the age of about 75.

Skills

• Firefighter: Elliot is a member of the FDNY. In addition to extinguishing actual fires, at which is experienced and well-trained, Elliot is also trained in advanced first-aid, search and rescue, and emergency response.
• Marksmanship: Elliot is a decent shot with a handgun or a hunting rifle, and practices regularly at the local firing range. He's not going to be outshooting professionals, but for an amateur he's pretty good.
• Handyman: Elliot is a fair hand at fixing and building all kinds of everyday things, including household appliances, plumbing, cars, carpentry, and basic electricals. Generally speaking, if it breaks around your house, Elliot's a good guy to call to fix it.

Advantages

• Charlie: Charlie is Elliot's dog, a husky-shepherd cross. He's well-trained and obedient, at least to Elliot, and will act in his defence if he feels his master is under attack. For the most part though, he's a terrible guard dog; tends not to bark, and his first instinct when he meets someone is to lick and cuddle, not bite and destroy. Elliot loves that dog more than life itself.
• Kid: Elliot has a child from his first marriage, a seven year old son named Matt who lives with his mother, and sees him on weekends when he's able. The kid isn't really an advantage, but it was worth mentioning and it didn't seem fair to put him under flaws. I'm not heartless. If it came down to it, though, Matt's a potential blood or organ donor, if something tragic were to happen to Elliot.
• Firehouse: For now, Elliot lives at the fire station. It doesn't afford him much privacy, but it's a roof over his head and he doesn't have to pay for it.

Flaws

• Divorced: Elliot and his first wife divorced a few years ago, and he pays her child support, which saps a fair amount of his income. He's not destitute by any means, but not as financially independent as he'd like. He lost the house, but kept the car, and the dog. There isn't as much of a stigma surrounding divorce for men as for women, but people still talk. He's certainly not looking to get married again any time soon.
