A lil’ ‘bout Elijah
Elijah (Eli) is a 22 year old farrier. He was born and raised in Texas in a small town called Eagle Pass. He grew up with his older half-brother Jason (Jase) and his twin brother Isaiah (Ice). His mother and father divorced when he was about three years old. Eli and grew up on an APHA breeding ranch. From the time he was three; he and his siblings helped their mum with daily chores. He started riding horses around four years and fell in love with horseback-riding.
He lost both of his brothers in a car wreck. They were on their way home from a rodeo and were all drunk and Eli was driving (speeding). He hit a semi-truck head-on. It killed his twin on impact and killed one of the horses they were hauling on impact. The other two horses had to be put down on the spot and Eli and his older brother were air-lifted to the hospital. Eli woke up in the hospital a week later, the only survivor of the wreck. He still feels guilty over it all, as, in his eyes, his brothers were the ones who should have lived, not him. Eli went through intensive physical therapy for six months once his injuries healed. A few months after everything was through, he woke up and just had to get out, so he packed his bags, took his dog and horses, and left.

Comrades
Friends. Everyone needs friends, and Eli isn’t an exception. Best friends, sort-of friends, good friends, etc... Eli’s never had a whole lot of friends, but he’s always there for the friends he does have.
Lovers
Relationships. Eli has been in a few relationships, but no long-term ones. The longest relationship he’s had was four months, and it fell apart horribly once he realized that the girl was cheating on him. He’s the type of person who won’t even think about cheating once he’s in a committed relationship with someone.
Adversaries
Enemies. Everyone needs them. They’re what make life so fun. Back home, Elijah had few actual enemies, but lots of friendly and not-so-friendly rivals and competition at the local rodeos.
Other
Anythin else. Brother or sister-figures, honorary family... everyone has ‘extended’ ‘not-family-but-close-enough-to-be-family’ friends.
So, any takers? I’m up for anything.
