Character Name: Elias Merik Avery Orion
Character Nickname: Merik, Mer,Elias

§{not just a pretty face}§
Celebrity Play-by: Bill Kaulitz
Height: 6'4
Weight: 128 lbs/58.18 kgs
Hair: His hair is black with blonde streaks and falls to just below his shoulder blades. He rarely leaves it down, and styles it so that it sticks straight up and out, the outcome making it resemble a lion’s mane. When he is lazy, he doesn't bother with styling it, but either prefers to leave it down or tie it at the back of his neck. It is naturally straight.
Eyes: Hazel, almond-shaped, almost always coated in thick liner, shadow, and mascara. His right eyebrow is pierced.
Body: Very tall, exceptionally thin for his height, Merik gave off the appearance of looking almost anorexic in his human years. By contrast, his vampire body is not much different except that now its slightly sculpted and toned, though not overly so. His arms and abdomen are nicely-shaped as well. On his right hip, he has a tattoo of a double star, one inside the other, and on his left side, he has a rather large body tattoo.
Style: Androgynous, so much so that he is very often mistaken for a girl. It doesn't help that his features are delicate and soft for a male. His feet are almost always clad in a pair of thick combat boots, sleek designer boots, or a pair of black cotton socks. He wears dark eye makeup and styles his hair in an edgy fashion and paints his nails. To complete his outfit, he will most often add a flashy belt, a jacket, and whatever jewelry he decided best fit his mood that day. When he is lazy, he might just pull on a pair of jogging pants and a muscle shirt and be done with it. His tongue is also pierced, even though he knows it freaks Eva out.
Special Abilities/Characteristics/Other: Empathy; he can sense people’s feelings and influence them. He is really sensitive to picking up the emotional atmosphere surrounding him, and usually multiplies them ten-fold. O.o It cycles through multiple times: He takes in a person’s emotions, like a sponge, and sends it back out again, which worsens for that person, who sends it back to him with more intensity, making it more difficult for him again until he finds some way to calm down. Extended: He can sometimes remove an emotion from a person, leaving them feeling neutral, somewhat emotionally numb for a time. Also, since his marriage to Eva, his ability has extended to include her so that she can sense his own emotions, even over a rather large distance.

Personal History:
Elias Merik Avery Orion was born on February 16, 1725 in London, England to Duke Medley Orion of Pembroke and his wife, Countess Eliza. His elder siblings, Helena and Talon, were favoured over him, as Helena was astonishingly beautiful and promised to a wealthy aristocrat in a nearby town and Talon was the heir. His father was murdered about a year later, leaving the family with a son too-young to secede him, so the title was relinquished to Merik’s uncle. Unwanted by his mourning mother, he was raised by a nanny with hardly any contact with the rest of his family, with the exception of Talon, who snuck away from their mother’s doting eyes to be with him when he was supposed to be napping. Helena would also visit, but only briefly and long enough for him to realise it was against their mother’s will.
Over the years, an admiration of his brother began to flourish within him as he watched his brother become a well-liked and trustworthy man of society, despite their mother’s manipulative ways. She would rather have had Talon make a name for himself within the social caste, instead. As for Helena, she also rebelled against their mother and ran away in the middle of the night a few days before her arranged marriage because she disagreed with the views of the Church of England, of which her would-be family were strict observers. Merik and Talon later found out that she had eloped with their neighbour, Stephan Morgandy, and left the country with him. In her rage, Eliza took her anger out on Merik while Talon was out of town, leaving him bruised and broken for several days. This occurrence was often repeated, giving Merik only a few days to heal before it started again.
Eliza was a cunning woman, and was smart enough not to do him any harm where others might see. His body was never broken, the discolouring of his skin or his slightness of breath was the only clue that might've given her away. This treatment continued for years, but he never said a word to his brother, who just assumed he wasn't as strong or outgoing as the other boys around. He would always put on a happy face for him, he didn't want to see Talon upset or angry. It was possible his nanny knew something was going on, but was too afraid to say anything because Eliza was a harsh, severe woman when not within Society's prying eyes. So he would nurse his own wounds, sometimes too weak to feed himself sufficiently afterwards before he fell into an exhausted, unrestful sleep. This caused for his slight and delicate frame as he grew up, though it did nothing to stunt his growth.
In desperation of escaping the harsh treatment, he left his mother at the age of fifteen to seek solace and shelter with a family friend, Joshua Christian. There he also found love in the arms of Christian’s youngest sister, Holly, and took care of her when Christian mysteriously disappeared for three years. Before he could return, Eliza had tracked Merik down and made him watch while she tortured and killed Holly, making him realise that his father’s murderer was his own mother. Christian showed up before Eliza could do any lasting harm on Merik, and made her pay for what she did to his sister as Merik watched on with horror-filled and tear-ridden eyes. The locals who found her admitted her into a mental hospital, where she later died from insanity.
Merik was reunited with Talon soon after Christian’s return, and because Christian was still struggling for control with his bloodlust as a new vampire, he attacked the Orion brothers, leaving them barely holding onto life. Writhing night after night in intense pain and agony, sore throats and gnashed teeth, they awoke with heightened senses and an almost unquenchable thirst. Sticking together, Talon and Merik became nomads for years afterwards, trying their best to satiate their hunger with animals because the thought of draining humans was sickening to Merik, who had found that he was extremely sensitive to how humans felt when he attacked them, and sent those feelings to Talon as well.
When they were sure they could handle living in human society again, they moved into London , far across town from where they had lived before. They returned to their old house later, though, finding it rundown and falling apart. They were recongnised by Christian, who told them their father’s will had left them with a decent amount of money their mother knew nothing about, and the bank had been trying to reach them ever since. They also bonded with a young teenage boy who lived down the street, Nikolas Night, until he decided that he wanted to see the world.
Talon fell in love with a young woman named Abigail later in life; he married and changed her soon after. In giving them some privacy, Merik left his brother and ventured out on his own for almost a century. When he was asked to return to them, he met Abigail’s sisters, Crystal “Criss” and Evalynn Stewart, and grew to call them his family. After only a few years, tragedy struck again and Abigail was killed, leaving the family in ruins when Talon disappeared in anguish. In an effort to find his missing brother, Merik bid the girls farewell in search of a friend, Nikko, knowing that Talon would need his best friend at a time so devastating. It was then that he arrived at the Night House and cemented his place in the coven he now calls a family.
In the time that followed, Merik reunited with Eva, who had been successful in finding Talon and presenting him to Merik for his birthday. It was during this time that Merik took an interest in Eva, despite his brother being uncomfortable with the situation and refusing to accept it. Soon after, in a series of devastating events, Merik lost both his brother Talon and best friend Nikko. When he felt like he could no longer go on, comfort came to him in the form of Eva. They have been together ever since, engaged several months later, and married the following February. They are currently still living with the Night Coven in England, where they Head the coven together.
§{i’ll keep you my dirty little secret}§
Likes: Eva, family, friends, being the centre of attention, loud music, makeup, fashion, guitars [electric/acoustic], hanging out with friends, meeting new people, reading, history, wit, sarcasm, fine wine, ramen, sweets
Dislikes: Conflict, losing control, being at fault, rude or selfish personalities, guilt, maths, stupid comedy films
Fears: Losing Eva, not being able to support the coven like it needs to be, loneliness
Habits: Random singing, speaking with his hands, even when on the phone, laughing, arching his brows, impulsiveness, he has Obsessive Compulsive tendencies, waffles, invades personal space, ubiquitous in nature, eccentric almost to a fault
Weaknesses: Eva, sweets, worries too much, a bit pessimistic, views himself as selfish, has an internal problem with accepting and controlling his ability, overprotective, jealousy issues
Goals: Keep Eva happy and safe, provide for the coven as best he can and maintain control, become a better, forgiving, and understanding person since he finds himself biased a lot of the time
Secret: Butterflies freak him out. Though he isn't afraid, he will steer clear of them [xD]. He still has never uttered a word about what his mother did to him, and he lives in guilt for changing Eva and killing her, if only for a few incomprehensible moments. He will never forgive himself, despite her reassurances that things are better now.
Personality: Merik is usually a pretty happy guy with a sharp wit and sense of humour. He is eccentric and likes having a good time. If you get to know him, you would realise that he is devoutly loyal and better to keep on your good side. He tries to be a peace-keeper, seeing as its one of the duties as the Head of Household. He has a slight problem with throwing things out of proportion and tends to think things through too much. He is stubborn and can argue his side of a debate until he wears his opponent down enough that they just give up. Its not surprising if he randomly falls into a depression for a short time; this isn't his doing or choice, but because he is feeding on the emotions of other people. Likewise, he can be very hyper and off-the-walls at any moment, since his personality is usually jovial. Most of his actions revolve around keeping Eva happy and safe, and can get pretty aggressive if things aren’t kept that way. She has him wrapped around her little finger, he has no backbone when it comes to her. Most have described him as whipped. He manages to keep his head during difficult times, though it may not be easy with his ability. He is an excellent fighter and excells in agility what he lacks in normal strength.
