there's a fire inside of my bed, made of coals that i deeply regret - oh, you left me burning with the embers and i barely made it out alive, oh, whatever you do, don't come back for me; after all i've bled for you, i can hardly breathe

― elias "eli" felix guerrero was born in barcelona, spain, on october 25, 1997. the name elias was his great grandfather's name, meaning "jehovah is god". felix and guerrero together mean "lucky warrior". he is a demiromantic bisexual, with a preference for masculine figures. his face claim is rob raco.

― standing at 5'9", elias stands a bit taller than average height. he is lean with a decent amount of muscle, weighing around 146 lbs. the brunette has medium length hair, which most of the time is tucked behind his ears or hidden under a beanie. it is quite thick, which makes it difficult to control at times. he has bright blue eyes, which have quite the contrast compared to his darker skin and hair. usually, eli sticks to darker colors, but is known to wear red from time to time. skinny jeans and combat boots are his go to. when in private or with friends, you can find him wearing any color of the rainbow and gym shorts. bandanas are also a favorite. he has a leather strap on his right wrist that he is rarely seen without.

― despite his brooding appearance, elias is actually one of the most ENERGETIC people you'll ever meet. one rarely finds him standing still, whether in public or at home. in the rare instance where he has to remain stationary, he's usually sitting on a table or other surface not meant for sitting. that, or he has his head buried into his arms. said restlessness is most likely related to how ANXIOUS he tends to be. while eli is fantastic at hiding this side of him, it doesn't change the fact that it's very much there. most of this anxiety is channeled into CREATIVE energy, which usually takes the form of photography. this creativity is rarely shared with anyone, with the exception of close friends, as they're usually the subject of his photos. he's also very SELFLESS, and is willing to put even strangers before himself. he's had quite a struggle in becoming who he is, so he's made it his goal to help make that journey a little easier for other people. this leads to how DETERMINED he can be - once he sets his mind to a task, there's rarely anything that will stop him from finishing it (with the exception of important things, like paperwork). one of those things is his INSECURE mindset that can prove to be quite the impediment. thanks to how immature and talkative he can be at times, elias often feels inferior to his peers and unnecessary. he beats himself up quite easily because of this, but very few people actually get to see this side of him.

― trigger warning for abuse
elias was born in the outskirts of barcelona, spain, in a small town called canyelles. he is the oldest of his three other siblings, by a great margin of eleven years. for the majority of his childhood, the brunette came home to an empty house. his father often worked late and his mother traveled for work. on the rare occasion that he wasn't alone, usually on weekends and the random weekday, he was anything but welcomed. he was usually sent straight to his room to work or lectured by his mother for the tiniest things. shortly after his first sister was born, his mother got more aggressive. most days he left the house with a large bruise somewhere, which was covered up by sweatshirts even on the hottest days. on a particularly late night when eli was 14, he fell asleep with a broken nose. early the next morning, the brunette decided that he had to leave. packing his small duffle bag with all the cash he could find, a few t shirts and one pair of pants, a box of granola bars and his mother's ticket to america, elias left. he arrived in the united states a few days later by boat, and found himself stuck. he had nowhere to stay, and spoke very little english. for the next week, he stayed on the streets of new york, the money he had stolen from his parents barely supplying him with the most basic of necessities. a few days later, an old couple took him in. at first, elias was reluctant to open up, but soon realized that they were much different than his own parents, and told them his story in the best way he could. as it turned out, the couple had lost their only son a few years before eli had showed up. their generosity shocked the brunette, especially when they enrolled him in private school and taught him english.
