Head: Much like Markus, Elijah has an air of respect about him, however, unlike Markus, an easygoing expression is constantly seen upon his face. His eyes, though appearing piercing at first glance, upon closer inspection, are kind yet distant, though not unfriendly. A slight smile is always present on his face, though it is the kind of smile that is unreadable, leaving others unable to discern what Elijah is thinking. Very light facial hair adorns his jawline, which never grows longer than a light beard. His hair is short length and generally left alone, though more often than not, his hair has a light amount of gel applied to it, spiking it up slightly.
Physique: No longer the lanky, slightly muscular boy he was back in high school, Elijah has greatly changed since his youth. Though he is still tall, he is now more muscular, having gone through a strict daily training regiment after being recruited into R.E.A.C.T upon graduating from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, earning his Doctor of Medicine to become a surgeon. While he does not boast as an impressive muscle mass and figure as his best friend, Markus Eckhardt, Elijah is no slouch by any means. Built more like an athlete, he is in peak physical condition with a muscular build. His muscles, from his shoulders to his calves, are trained and well-defined, while not being overly huge and bulky. His body is kept well-groomed, with no body hair to speak of except for his arms and legs, which is kept minimal at best.
Misc.: Attire: A man less about class and more about practicality, Elijah dresses casually but stylishly, for any given occasion. More often than not, he will be found wearing a plain shirt, a well-worn and comfortable black leather jacket worn over top when he goes out, jeans, and a pair of black combat boots. He will dress formally if the occasion calls for it, but rarely wears suits or formal clothing otherwise. Every now and then however, he can be seen wearing a dress shirt, but that is the most formal he will dress up in, and even then, it is worn casually, with the top and bottom two buttons left undone.

Personality: Firm but emphatic, Elijah's serious nature is befitting his tall stature. He is generally a very quiet person and prefers to solve smaller problems from individuals rather than the larger, more political ones. Unlike previous Student Deans, Elijah believes that the students of 552 should be treated firmly but with care, instead of punishing them harshly through extreme measures resembling the corporal punishment system they were subjected to in their previous high school and the more extreme system in the District. While this makes him appear less compassionate than Markus, having grown up in the middle class, Elijah will take the side of normal, average people over rich people.
Elijah is slow to anger and even slower to befriend. He prefers letting his actions speak for himself, but when he does speak, he speaks volumes. Taunting or egging him on will not provoke him, and despite being emphatic, remains emotionally distant. He is not afraid to take difficult matters into his own hands and is willing to help those in need, even if he has to take extreme measures to do so.

Fighting Style: Elijah is not one to get into fights easily, but when he does, due to his tall stature and high agility and stamina, he is a fast, hard-hitting fighter, aiming to defeat his opponent as quickly and efficiently as possible, to avoid a long, drawn-out fight. He mainly aims to strike his opponent at their joints, hard enough to dislocate or even break their bones, at various pressure points, to debilitate them, or for their head, to deliver a brutal one hit knockout blow. If he cannot defeat his opponent after at least four strikes, he will then switch to simply evading their strikes in turn, to tire them out and use their own strikes against them.
Strengths: Quick on his feet, can last for a long while. Very precise and efficient. Hits devastatingly fast.
Weaknesses: Lacks power against bulkier opponents, to make up for speed. Not built to handle grappling. Not incredibly book smart, so he does not telegraph or come up with strategy for his moves.

Known History: Elijah Flynn, born Ethan Falkner, was not always an ambitious figure who strove for power. In his early years, he was well known for being a joker, cracking corny jokes and terrible puns that, while it made his classmates and friends groan, also lightened the mood at times. It was during his youth however, that he met his best friend, and still is to this day, Mikhael Echigo, now known as Markus Eckhardt, in Public High School #774. At first, he had no desire to strive for power, but gradually became influenced by the powerful, ambitious figure his best friend was, and still is, and soon sought out a position of power himself. Known for his athleticism, being skilled in sports, mainly baseball, alongside being a joker, he eventually served as its Varsity Captain, having been appointed by Mikhael, who had been the School Captain, in his Freshman year. It, just like Public High School #552, fell victim to not only the corporal punishment system, but also to gang violence, and quickly fell into chaos and disarray. With his best friend forming his own group of vigilantes, having lost faith in the Pillar system, naturally he would become a part of the group, eventually becoming known as the Dragons. Becoming the Solar Dragon, standing with Markus and three others at their side, the Dragons managed to successfully quell the gang violence through methods of their own, many of which were condemned by the public and the police. Still, it was impossible to deny the results that came of it.
After graduating from high school and retiring his title as Varsity Captain, it was obvious that his notoriety as an infamous Dragon would hinder more than help him. Wanting nothing more than to get into university and graduate, and eventually find a job, not to mention make his mother proud, he attempted to find a part-time job while applying for universities. Though his academic record was not as stellar as Markus's, being less book smart and more street smart, he still had decent grades, which should've made it simple enough. But it wasn't. In fact, just like Markus, it held him back for two years, and in the end, he relented and passed his title down to another, as well as changing his name.
With his past behind him, Elijah began to move on with his life, applying to and accepted into the University of California, San Diego, eventually earning his Doctor of Medicine to become a surgeon. Despite being less book smart than his classmates, his hard work throughout the four years paid off, having graduated at the top of his class. Soon after, he found himself being approached by a representative of a covert special ops agency tasked with preventing user-related terrorism throughout the United States of America, known as R.E.A.C.T, which stood for The Regulated Enforcement Agency for Counteracting Terrorism. The agency combined the efforts of many talented military officers and scientists from around the world, who had been scouted because of their unique skill sets, in order to accomplish their goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. Not only did they know about his medical knowledge and skill as a surgeon, but also that he was adept in using Qi, they saw it as something that could benefit them, not something to be feared. Eventually being recruited after much persuasion, Elijah would spend 8 years in the agency, working to help and protect the people who would make the greatest impact on the country: the youth.
After hearing of what happened in New York City, while at the headquarters of R.E.A.C.T, after finishing up a mission, Elijah would receive a call from a familiar name, one he knew very well, having kept in constant communication with him: Markus Eckhardt. His best friend, formerly known as Mikhael Echigo. Now the Headmaster of Private High School #552, Markus extended an offer to Elijah, asking him to come to San Francisco to become the Student Dean of the academy. Unable to refuse an offer from his best friend, who had been supportive of Elijah's endeavors, Elijah would accept, and left San Diego for San Francisco, to become the new Student Dean of the academy.
Classified History: During his time as a Special Agent in R.E.A.C.T, they had been monitoring the students of PHS #552, not because they were deemed dangerous, but because the Qi abilities many exhibited were of interest to them. Upon learning he had been asked to come to San Francisco to become the Student Dean of PHS #552, the agency saw this as an excellent opportunity to collect more detailed data on the students.
He was tasked with ensuring the students of Private High School #552 were not only closely monitored, but also to extract as much data on their physical and mental capabilities, and how it affects their capability to use Qi.
