About
Elcin is the youngest of 14, a fact that wildly shaped his childhood and early adult life. With absent parents, he found himself more often than not in the caretaker role, making sure his siblings ate and went to school (though school was the last thing on most of their minds). Despite this, Elcin excelled in school, receiving top grades and with several accolades for his work in medical research.

That's not to say he doesn't have skeletons in a closet. During university, there were two incidents that shaped his life. The first was with a young Mythawa woman by the name of Vil Arry. She was a slight girl, friendly with a bright smile. They met during one of the medical labs he had to take for his degree. She was forward in her intentions, and he found himself in her bed often. Unfortunately for him, this was the start of his addiction, and when they parted on good terms? He continued to seek out partners.

The second was with Professor Thyme. Thyme was human, shrewd, and bitter at the world. When Elcin entered his class, he nearly refused to teach him due to a preconceived notion about his race. Early encounters with his race resulted in several deaths on a human research station floating around the planet Lqee. When investigated, a majority of the population was encased in thick webbing and seemed to have been melted and drained of blood. It took twenty years to resolve the incident between humanity and the Rachni, and the treaty between them was still recent. Professor Thyme believed the Rachni should have been more harshly punished, and thus made Elcin's life difficult throughout the semester. Elcin nearly failed the course, but with some intervention from the Dean, he barely passed and decided to never take another course with Professor Thyme.

Shortly after graduating from university, Elcin managed to land a job as a research assistant with Teliviv Enterprises. He worked alongside Dr. Vivian Wakefield, a shrewd human woman, on a variety of research assignments. She was hard on him, pushing him to think outside the box while keeping true to their morals. Elcin regards her highly, and credits her with his success in their shared field often, so when she passed? The lab was never the same. The project they were working on together came to a halt and was shelved.

A year later they finally decided to fill the position, and Elcin was promoted to Head of Research and Development due to his hard work and high praise from Dr. Wakefield herself. CEO Hildar Reinr states that he sees promise in the young man, and looks forward to his continued work within the company.

first impressions Elcin's physique is what usually is spotted first. He looks like a giant spider; eight legs, four eyes, a large abdomen with shiny-mirror like scales, and pedipalps on his face.

Outward appearances aside, he comes off as cold and focused, choosing to keep things short and to the point where possible. His compassion only comes out when it appears that people are in trouble. If there's one thing that he can't hide, it's his want to help people.

features Currently, due to torture in Penance, he has Lust scarred into the back of his neck. He has some scarring around one leg due to it being removed at an earlier point. There is light scarring on his body, faint marks that are hidden under his clothing, but if you look closely they're on his legs as well.

Powers
ability
Being a spider, Elcin retains some abilities typical of that species. His fangs produce a neurotoxic venom that can sap the strength of a victim and render them paralyzed for upwards of twenty minutes. While this venom can be passed via a bite, Elcin can milk his fangs and store this venom in viles--meaning it could, potentially be used to taint items such as food or be used to coat weapons if the opportunity presented itself.

Elcin can also be expected to be able to climb like spiders do, though without reinforcement or support from webbing he is likely too heavy to walk on a ceiling. While he is able to spin his own webs, it should be noted that Elcin hasn't spun his own web in his home due to being uncomfortable in the setting. His ease and comfort within a place may play a part in his ability (or want) to spin a web of any notable size. If he does end up spinning a web, it most likely will be in a spiral but can be any complex pattern. (See real-life example: here and here. )

Due to a spider's penchant for lying in wait for prey and keeping to damp, cool, or shaded places, Elcin can be known for skills in hiding and sneaking around. This may not necessarily be an intentional action on his part, and more of an instinctual movement. For his size, he can move rather stealthily and with little sound. He also has decent night vision, and likely won't find any punishments that rely on deprivation of light intimidating.
