5.18 Write your character's background story(Minimum of 200 words)
[+] Character Background
Eli's the youngest member of the Figueroa family, and the only son of Nicolas Figueroa and Milagros Garcia. Being the only son of second generation Venezuelan immigrants, Eli's always been interested in his South American roots. Through the years he learned more about his family, where they came from, what made them migrate to the US during the last few decades of the 20th century and the different stories on both sides of the Figueroa-Garcia family.
That same drive to learn about his family's history made him grow closer to his grandparents, namely his grandfather Esteban (Nicolas' father). Eli looked up to his grandfather through his childhood and early teen years, not out of some cultural notion of respect towards his elders, but because of Esteban's influence: his grandfather started off with nothing, born into poverty in Maracaibo, and climbed his way through the corporate ladder of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A (Petroleum of Venezuela) where he maintained a profitable department for many years. That career choice allowed Esteban to migrate to the US with his wife Maria, ready to have their son Nicolas.

The Figueroas had an easy-going start in New York, where Eli's grandfather retired from his position in PDVSA for a similar job in an international freight company based out of Manhattan, NY. Starting a new life in America meant assimilating into their new surroundings, into a whole new world with its own set of ideologies and cultural aspects, while they also faced their biggest challenge yet: starting a family in a different country.
Decades passed and Nicolas strayed from his father's footsteps, sticking to his passion for motorcycles that, from a young age, had bloomed into a full-blown custom shop, and business was booming. "Figueroa Motor Works" became a renowned shop in Brooklyn, with clients from all over the US and even overseas placing orders for customized versions of their favorite motorcycles.
All that work meant that Nicolas was an absent father for some time, but young Eli understood why and chose not to press his father with his needs. Without his father to turn to most of the time Eli found himself talking to his grandpa and his mother about different topics ranging from the building blocks of any boy's childhood, to more complex topics later on in his early life. He was encouraged to follow his interests, 'chase his dreams' as they say, and so he did: photography became one of his earliest hobbies, allowing Eli to share his perspective of the world around him with his friends and family. It seemed Eli was determined to make a career out of it, even from his teenage years, which set him on a path towards the New York Film Academy much to his father's chagrin.

Eli's choice to chase a BFA from NYFA sparked many arguments whenever the Figueroas and Garcias gathered. His father questioned his decision all the way through to the point where he refused to pay for his tuition despite promising to do so, regardless of what Eli chose as a career. Outraged by his son's behavior, Esteban decided to bankroll his grandson's future in one of the most prestigious art and photography institutions on the East Coast. Struggling with balancing his career, a rather unconventional lifestyle and a dysfunctional relationship with his father, Eli often found himself alone as a young adult and thus he failed to maintain close relationships with others. He was far from being a loner, yet he never truly felt like he belonged to any groups or that he left any lasting impressions. However, that hardly discouraged him from achieving what he set out to do even if it meant cutting his ties with his father for years. Family dinners and holidays got awkward, with Eli spending some time alone contemplating his future and his choices up to that point, or doing his best to excel at his job as a PR photographer.
While it wasn't anywhere near as simple as he thought it'd be, Eli's youth was mostly peaceful. Both friends and family had their conflicts of interest with him, but he always did his best to find compromises - so one day the great generational grudge between Eli and his father Nicolas came to an end, with Eli promising to keep his father's business going if anything happened to him, and Nicolas parting with some of his wealth for his son's future.
Graduation day came and went like a breeze and now that Eli's a free man, and a surprisingly wealthy college graduate, he set out to do the one thing he always thought about but never had the resources to do: start the first chapter of his new life, all alone in LS.

5.19 Additional notes:
Answer: I'd like to clarify that I currently have two alts that I didn't list when you requested it, namely: Guo Xinyue and Rafael Navarro. The reasons they're not relevant enough to be mentioned is that Guo is an elderly alt that I barely RP in, as he's involved in the Lotus Projects (part of the Meng Shetou faction) as a local. I don't think that I need double faction permissions on him, and I'm currently going through the process of leaving Meng Shetou to make things easier. His admin record is clean, seeing as how the character hardly gets involved in anything that might involve OOC conflicts.
Rafael is a test alt I made a long time ago to see some of the new server features after I stopped playing for some months. It's pending deletion and the admin record on that character slot is clean as well. That's all.
