Elijah Mikaelson

Elijah is the noble one — or so it seems. There are many things hiding under the facade of a gentleman. He has fought against the demons in his head for a long time (longer than most realize) and the more he is pushed towards his limits the more he may allow those demons out from behind that metaphorical red door. He spends a great deal of his time focused on his family, desperate to keep them together. This often puts him in the shadow of his brother Klaus but make no mistake, Elijah is capable of striking out on his own. He has built a fearsome reputation over the years but he has yet to fully embrace what he is capable of.

notes on his canon

He is not 100% canon compliant. I recognize the canon of his time on TVD but have not watched all of TO.
Obviously do not recognize his death as canon (or will do fix it threads)
Elijah is a powerful being. He doesn't take to foolishness from most. Please keep that in mind when interacting.
Most threads are set somewhere in his timeline. If things develop or are plotted heavily, it will be given a verse name below.
I don't do mains or exclusives but if Elijah grows attached to your character, you will be added to the connections section below.

shipping

Shipping is based on chemistry first. I want it to make sense for Elijah. He tends to sacrifice for his family more than he should --- he is not just going to fall in love with anyone.
Plotting is key to shipping.
Canonically, Elijah has stated he loved twice - Tatia and Celeste. He has a fascination with the Petrova line.
Writing Haylijah will depend on the plot.
I really enjoyed Elijah and Gia.
Will ship with OCs/Crossover characters, etc. as long as it fits the above statement.
