The Shadowbound Scholar and Keeper of Forbidden Prophecies✧ Origin
Elias was born in a library that no longer exists.
Deep beneath the Hollow, in a forgotten archive carved from stone and shadow, a lone candle burned for centuries. When the Hollow called for guardians, that candle flared — and from its flame stepped a boy with ink‑stained fingers and eyes full of secrets.
He arrived holding a book he had never written. He spoke a name he had never learned. He knew prophecies no one had taught him.
Elias is the Hollow's memory made human — the quiet keeper of everything the world tried to forget.
He was chosen not for strength or speed, but for knowledge, clarity, and the ability to see the threads of fate others fear to touch.
✧ Appearance
Hair: Soft, dark brown, falling into his eyes
Eyes: Deep blue or smoky gray, thoughtful and gentle
Skin: Light olive, warmed by candlelight
Build: Slender, bookish, quietly graceful
Clothing: White V‑neck shirt, dark layered robes or trousers, always carrying a book or scroll
Presence: Quiet, observant, comforting — like the hush of a library at midnight
He looks like someone who knows every answer but is too shy to say it.
✧ Personality
Elias is the quietest guardian — and the one who feels the most.
He speaks softly, chooses words carefully, and blushes far too easily. He is brilliant but socially awkward. He overthinks everything. He panics when the Oracle smiles at him too sweetly.
He is gentle, introspective, and deeply loyal. He protects not with force, but with knowledge, wards, and devotion.
Elias is the "I memorized every prophecy about you but can't handle when you hold my hand" type.
✧ Abilities
Elias's magic is subtle, cerebral, and deeply tied to shadow and memory.
Powers:
Shadow‑Reading: deciphers ancient texts others can't
Perfect Recall: remembers anything he's ever read
Shadow‑Walking: slips through dim spaces like a whisper
Candlelight Conjuring: summons small flames for reading or protection
Prophetic Insight: senses when the Oracle is distressed
Sigil Crafting: creates protective wards and seals
His magic is quiet but indispensable — the kind that saves lives without anyone noticing.
✧ Dynamic With the Oracle
Elias is undone by the Oracle's innocence.
He knows every prophecy about him. He knows the weight of his destiny. He knows the dangers surrounding him.
But when the Oracle looks at him with soft, glowing eyes and asks, "Are you okay?" Elias forgets how to breathe.
He shows affection through:
gentle explanations
offering books or stories
placing protective wards around the Oracle's room
staying up late researching how to keep him safe
sitting beside him while he sleeps, just in case
To the Oracle, Elias feels like a warm candle in a dark room.
✧ Dynamic With Rowan
Rowan teases him for being "too bookish"
Elias respects Rowan's grounded instincts
Rowan is the only one who can pull Elias out of his spirals
They share quiet, surprisingly deep conversations
They're the "brains and backbone" duo.
✧ Dynamic With Aeris
Aeris steals his books
Elias threatens him with obscure curses
Aeris calls him "library ghost"
Elias blushes when Aeris teases him about the Oracle
Their dynamic is chaos vs calm
They annoy each other — and care more than they admit.
✧ Dynamic With Sylas
They share gentle, quiet moments
Often read together in the forest
Sylas grounds Elias when he spirals
Elias trusts Sylas deeply
They are the softest pair in the harem.
✧ Dynamic With Noctis
Mutual respect
Noctis understands Elias's emotional depth
Elias respects Noctis's ancient loneliness
They share a spooky, elegant aesthetic
They are night and candlelight — different, but connected.
✧ Why the Hollow Chose Him
The Hollow needed someone who understood the Oracle's destiny — and who would protect him not with strength, but with knowledge.
Elias was chosen because he sees the Oracle not as a prophecy… but as a person.
And that makes him dangerous in the most beautiful way.
