Elene Matthos

=• Who is Elene Matthos? •= Elene is what many would call a Marauder, someone out only for their own gain. This is true in so many aspects. She often keeps to herself so all information below this line is not to be used ICLY without my permission. Elene Matthos, formerly known as Elena Gracian is a Highborn citizen of Cassus. Her Family one of the lower ranking Houses was known as House Gracian. They owned few farms on the outskirts of the city but treated their lowborn well. Unknown for many years however, many of their lowborn were actually those who were looking to leave the Dominion in search of freedom and they were merely giving them a place to lay low until they could achieve such. The family was helping traitors and they knew of it. All but Ellie of course. It was when an Aurin popped up in her Home that she began to worry. What was this thing doing here? She heard rumors from school about how vicious these tree huggers were and how they would feed her to plants. She ran out in fear and begged guards for help. To her dismay this instantly caused the downfall of her House. Her parents were tried and executed for treason against the Dominion for Housing and helping Exiles. Her home was split and the land they once owned was given to other houses as punishment; Ellie was not to grow up with anything she was to earn it all back in the eyes of the Emperor. A small child merely ten at the time had lost everything. No other Houses would offer to take her in; to raise her. She soon found herself in the streets, trying to fend off lowborn orphans and others who quickly knew of her heritage. She wasn't one of them though they all now shared the same fate. She was a snot who needed to be beaten everyday by these older thugs. Any food she ever received she would have to hide as they would come and steal it; telling her this is what she got for being in a family that took everything. Ellie felt like the world just wanted her to die and she had no escape form it. She pushed on however, determined to kick life in the nuts and make herself a home again. During this time she ended up leaving the city her House once resided in and took to the farm land and outside neighboring cities. She soon found out of a small place that often held and open market. A delicious morsel of food ripe for the picking! Once she arrived at the open market, Ellie was looking to snag herself some fruit from a nearby stand. She was starving and hadn't eaten in days. This was her chance when the market opened each week. Easy pickings for her! As she made her way to the stand she stopped, taking note of an odd ship that hadn't been there before. It wasn't of Dominion and it surely wasn't Exile or it would have been shot down. It looked old and busted but it looked interesting. If there was one thing she had already picked up from her months out on the streets is to never look away from something interesting. There could be something of value inside to steal! She slipped inside and ducked behind some crates. As she peeked over she saw an Eeklu floating there and giving orders to Oghra and Grund. She was amazed that they were even near a Dominion encampment. She glanced about to look for goods until she felt the ship begin to move under her feet. Oh no! The small girl was now aboard a Marauder ship that was taking off. She found herself a hiding place, hoping she wouldn't be found anytime between now and their next landing.  The ship didn't dock for some time and the Marauders were taking note of random things starting to going missing around the place. Sleeping bags, food, clothing, etc. Something was off. Ellie had found herself a small duct work to hide in and made herself a small home. It wasn't until the crew began to lay traps before she was caught. A Grund, angered at the fact he had a sandwich next to him and the next it was gone was determined to catch the rat! He would start to place food down and put a cardbox box over it with a string. Grund weren't smart obviously so it took an Oghra crew member to spice up his trap. He only did so for his own amusement. That cardbox trap soon became a cloaked metal trap. Ellie did her best to avoid it but in truth, the food they put out smelled so delicious and by this time she hadn't eaten in a few days. She took the bait in desperate need to fill her stomach. The crew was amazed to find this small child, a small Cassian child on their ship! Obviously like the beasts they were they talked about eating her, selling her in to slavery and more. Luckily for Ellie the Captain soon arrived and looked her over. He saw potential in this small child. She had been on the ship for some time and was now just caught. A sly thing that could be of benefit to him. A Cassian...who could go in to Dominion and Exile territory to steal and ravage in surprise. Ah yes, it was perfect. The Captain ordered her to be released and placed under his care. He made the other crew members train her. Ellie at first was confused and instead of being trained was made to do grunt work. Cleaning the ship, laundry, prepping food, etc. Over time she however gained their respect and was taught combat, weapons, gadgets, and more. Around her thirteenth birthday the Captain officially adopted her. Well, about as official as you could get with a Marauder. Ellie soon took his last name. Mattos. The Eeklu's full name was actually Blackfur Matthos, Scourage of the Seventh Quad. He was well known for pillaging Exile and Dominion ships in the territory. He was ruthless and trusted no one and he taught Ellie that same ideal. Even as his adoptive daughter he expected Ellie to stab him in the back one day. Sadly, it would not come from her. While out scouting for a new ship to take don the First Mate began to devise a plan. This..Human! This thing! She was gaining more attention then him. He feared for losing his spot and he had to get rid of her. He waited until most of the crew was asleep and the night Ellie was on watch for any ships to come on the radar. The First mate came up behind her and took a combat knife right across her face, slicing her eyes to blind her. Screaming in pain she awoke the ship as she obviously was helpless when blind. The First Mate knew he had to finish the job and while the child rolled about in pain he grabbed her and attempted to slit her throat to not only kill her but shut her up. Before he could apply enough pressure to slice through the young woman's throat he would feel a large sword sticking from his back. The knife dragged across her throat,digging in at the last second to slice her voicebox before he fell to the floor. The Captain ordered the First Mate's body to be jetted out in to space and all able medics to heal his adoptive daughter. She took several weeks to recovery but she was now officially blind and mute. The Captain refused to have her left like that and went out in search of ships to plunder in hopes of finding technology that would help his daughter. After ravaging several ships they came across a small Ikthian carrier. There they quickly dispatched all but a large medic. He was made to fix his daughter and with the help of a visor she was able to see and speak again, though not the best of course. It was old tech he had and Ellie could now only see outlines and speak in a monotone voice through a speaker attached to her visor. It was still better then being blind. A few years down the line Ellie would soon turn eighteen. The Captain was getting old though and Ellie was officially his First Mate now. Many didn't agree feeling he was playing favorites rather then what was best for the ship. Ellie by now was cold and calculating. She trusted no one and for good reason. The crew hated her and she hated them back but there was plenty of ships to plunder in life so she dealt with them. Anyone who would step up to her in question often got beat down. She loved to fight and was quick to throw the first punch. While out on a search for supplies while low the ship had come across a small Dominion Colony. As they landed and stepped off the ship to start their plundering they were soon surrounded by Guards and other abled bodies. Marauders not being ones to give up they went out in a blaze of glory. Or so they thought in their minds. Ellie did what she was taught, get away and fight another day. She slipped out of the battle and watched as her hated family was slaughtered before her eyes, her father included. Not only once did the Dominion take her family away but they did it again! Her anger only grew as she took note of a lone Grund who took payment from a guard. That bastard had snitched out his crew! Betrayed his family! Ellie was out for revenge. She slipped in to the ship as the Grund was granted permission to keep it. As the ship took off he had no idea that there was someone there ready to slice his throat. Once clear of the colony and the ship on autopilot she took her chance and made sure he cried in pain until his last breath. Ellie now had her father's ship and no where to go. She soon heard of Nexus being discovered and only found it to be a place of opportunity. On her way there she was hired by some Brothers who knew of her family when she was younger and offered her plenty in gold to kill someone off. The family heads contacted her not much later and paid her even more to bring the target home instead. Ellie being Ellie took both job and both pay. She sent her target back to Cassus and told the brother's she was dead. It was then when she met a doctor named Everic who tried to befriend her. Ellie was not for friends but as she finally started to trust this man she allowed him to operate on her eyes and throat, effectively giving her the cybernetic eyes and synthetic voicebox she has today. That trust however would be short lived as betrayal would soon kick in causing Ellie to actually retreat back in to her father's ship. She would remain there for some time before returning to the outside world again. She used that time to rethink her lessons in life and make sure it was stabbed in to her mind that no one is a friend and no one can be trusted.

=• Personality •= Ellie is easily described with the term 'Lies, Cheats, and Steals'. This is what she does. Ellie will keep everyone at an arm's length, hell, a leg's length is very common for her as an arm is generous. She trusts no one and steals from anyone; even those who would consider her to be a friend. She doesn't believe in friends. She believes people are always out for themselves even if they truly aren't. She has a sick view of the world and in truth who can blame her? Anything that makes her feel as if she has no freedom is avoided - Relationships, contracts, etc. She finds the emotion a weakness and does her best to avoid it even though she is human and does experience it. She will flick you off, she will cuss at you, she will call you names. None of this should be considered personal as Ellie actively tries to push people away to save her the trouble later on. Remember, she doesn't trust anyone! She secretly has a soft spot for plushies and will steal them over valuable items anyday.

=• RP Hooks/Notes •= • Ellie will never give her full name or real name. It all depends on how she feels that day. You are more then welcomed to know she is lying. • Ellie is considered an Alcoholic. She loves to drink and will let people flirt with her as long as she gets a free drink out of it. If they want more she obviously leaves. • Ellie loves Lemon Flavor Hookahs.
