HEIGHT: 5' 10"
WEIGHT: 133 lbs.
BUILD: Slender
HAIR: Medium length brown with a slight wave to it worn parted to the side
EYES: Bright blue
STYLE: Preferring to dress respectably, but also retain some comfort in doing so, Eli will rarely wear a t-shirt unless he does not plan to go out of his home. Instead, he will generally wear polos. If worse comes to worst, he does have a few button down shirts that he will make use of should the washer stop working on him. Most often seen in blue jeans, they are never wrinkled, nor are the bottoms frayed despite reaching the bottom of his black Chucks. Sometimes seen in a blazer (see photo above), his style can be seen as funky.
STRENGTHS: He doesn't tend to partake in physical work often, thus his skin is smoother than most. As much as he may not like it sometimes, he has a 'boyish' face which can work to his benefit. Along with the 'boyish' look, Eli is attractive in an odd way. He can be endearing with his blue eyes and full lips.
WEAKNESSES: He literally is weak, not at all strong. Because he does have a disarming look, and his blue eyes are more often than not piercing, he can sometimes make those around him uncomfortable. Because of his slight frame, people do assume that he is not strong which generally provides a disadvantage of not being able to mislead others.
OTHER: He never leaves home without his Blackberry on him. In addition, he always wears an inexpensive-but very durable-Fossil watch with a black face.

STRENGTHS: Very quiet, Eli easily blends in and is able to observe others without notice. Eli is smart and easily learns things. Should he put his mind to it, he could learn just about anything he wanted from websites and has.
WEAKNESSES: Very, very anti-social many times. There are times that his moods change from one extreme to another and it not only bothers him, but those around him. Despite his being anti-social, he easily trusts, thus easily gets hurt. An introvert, he lets things build up inside him before exploding. Due to his mild schizophrenia, Eli has hallucinations from time to time, mostly of the auditory sort. He sometimes appears 'mad' as he has a habit of muttering to himself when deep in thought as well as the rare times he reacts to the auditory hallucinations.
LIKES: Computers, rum and coke, watching the Red Sox, MMORPGs, Dr. Pepper, the color navy, Placebo, Italian food (particularly a pasta with a good red wine sauce)
DISLIKES: Citrus and tropical fruits, cigarettes/cigars/pipes/smoking period, spoofs (Scary Movie, Epic Movie, etc.), physical activities and exercising, the colors yellow and orange, hats, grape flavor, New York Yankees, people that talk too much
MENTAL ILLNESSES: Mild Schizophrenia (not diagnosed), depression

Next to nothing is known about Elias Jung’s birth parents. Left just outside Boston’s main DHS location 3 days after he was born, the only thing left with him was his birth certificate. Born August 24, 1979 at 8:27 PM, his parents were noted as simply, John and Jane Jung. Though they kept their identities vague, they did take the time to name their son Elias Corbin and provide him with his father’s surname. At least he could believe they had, right?
Where most babies are quickly adopted, because of the manner in which Elias was left in the hands of Boston’s department of human services, it took several months of paperwork and another few months of doctor’s exams to deem him completely healthy. At 18 months, an adoption was set in effect. However, before everything was said and done, the couple conceived themselves and opted to allow another couple to have the child they believed they wouldn’t be able to have. Thus Elias went to the next ‘bidder’, an older couple in their early 40’s. At age 2, Elias went to live with the Miltons. It was the only true home he had during his childhood though he can only vaguely recall it. Three years after being adopted, Mrs. Milton was diagnosed with lung cancer. She didn‘t make it through the next year. Unable to cope with his wife’s death, Mr. Milton turned Elias back over to Child Services and at 6 years old, Elias re-entered the foster care system until he was next adopted. That time never came.
Much older than the infants and cherubic toddlers, Elias didn’t have the personality to appeal to anyone looking to adopt a child. After returning to Child Services, Elias withdrew on himself and became a loner even as young as he was at the time. Instead of running and playing outside like most children, he preferred to sit inside and simply daydream, often staring off into space. Many times he would stare at people without realizing it until they moved or requested he not look at them as his gaze was often unsettling. His childhood couldn’t be said to be unhappy exactly, but it was far from steady. Changing homes every 6-18 months was an ordeal no one liked to put a child through, but it was often necessary in the foster system. While socially awkward-or really, antisocial-Eli did well in school academically. He wasn’t part of any extra curricular activities, but he passed all his classes with flying colors. It was his grades that awarded him a scholarship to the University of Massachusetts.
It was during his first year in college that Elias realized that something was amiss. He’d always been very bright and as a boy, had thought the voices he’d heard was simply his imagination creating friends that he didn’t have. College was quite different from high school and the added stress of it only made the auditory hallucinations worse. Of course, Elias didn’t know for sure that, that’s what it was. He’d researched it of course, and attempted to diagnose himself, but admitted defeat and sought professional help in his junior year of college. How he’d made it that far without aid was a mystery to anyone that may be aware of the symptoms he was experiencing. Unable to make a full diagnosis, he was prescribed medication that would generally be given to someone with Schizophrenia. Monitored closely, his symptoms seemed to improve and with therapy, he began to interact with his surroundings much more than he had since he’d lived with the Miltons.
After graduating with a B.S. in Computer Science, Eli went on to get the numerous certifications available for computers. He worked at a locally owned compute repair shop until he was able to build his own clientele base. His work wasn’t solely hardware however, and more often having to do with the software and networking, ie: hacking, and/or security systems. Once he was making decent enough money, he quit the job at the computer repair shop and proceeded to do business with the highest bidder. He was quick and efficient and had a ‘money back guarantee’ and he would fix the problem in addition. Very rarely did he fail, but when he did he would grow angry with himself and learn the problem so as not to make the same mistake again. The past year he has been saving up and working on creating his own security system that is proving to be quite remarkable though he’s hardly near finished or even a testing stage. One thing he has to take into consideration is what would happen should both the Marinos and Connellys decide to purchase his security system once it was complete. That would be one hell of a problem, especially as he’s been contracted by both sides for numerous jobs. There is always the option of declining sale of the system to both parties. That is of course under the belief that he will finish the program one day.
