» Name: Elliot Salem
» Fandom: Army of Two
» Reference: army of two wiki.
» Canon Point: Post Army of Two, pre 40th Day.
» Gender: Male
» Age: Around mid-to-late thirties based on in-game dates.
» Orientation: Heterosexual, though surprisingly disinterested. Elliot shows a debatable interest in mission coordinator Alice Murray, and some of his in-game comments ("ladies lift your shirts!") as well as any lack of evidence to the contrary suggests he is straight. For all his party-boy image and habits, he still never allows sex or anything of the sort to overcome other priorities.
On the topic of Tyson Rios: while it may be possible to derive something more from their relationship, the two are canonically nothing more than best friends, and act more like brothers than anything else.
» Personality:
Thirty-something physically, anywhere from five to twenty mentally: Elliot Salem is a bit of a mess. Despite (or perhaps because of) his incredibly dangerous lifestyle, he is determined to live the high life; taking risks and partying like nobody's business. This is a guy who photocopies his butt because he's bored, or spends thousands of dollars getting gold plating on his gun because he can.
First and foremost, Elliot is rude, and Elliot is blunt. Neither are barely even intentional- stemming mostly from his upbringing and surroundings, because everyone talks shit in prison and the military. He's not afraid to say it like it is, whether it offends someone or not, and he'll probably drop a few swears in the sentence along the way. He lives for the here and now- spends what he makes and then some (what's a thousand bucks when their next payday could be absolutely massive?), has extremely materialistic tendencies despite living like a slob, and parties like he hasn't held the future of America in his childish hands more than once. Without Tyson to bail him out of trouble in both missions and his everyday life, Elliot could wind up in some serious trouble- but his buddy never lets him down, so he sees no reason to change his ways.
Contrary to popular assumption, Elliot is not dumb. He hasn't got the strategic mind of Tyson, no, but nor is he a moron- he's capable of thinking fast on his feet, and despite his devil-may-care attitude understands the importance of most things (simply chooses to ignore it in favor of his own goals- which tend to involve money, money, and money). Far more street smart than book smart, he's unlikely to come first in any academic test, but put him in the field and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better.
The major influence on his life comes in the form of one Tyson Rios, the other half the titular 'Army of Two' and Elliot's best friend through thick and thin. He'd go to the end of the world for his buddy Tyse- though he'd never tell him that, and probably spend the entire time complaining. Tyson has been one of the few truly positive factors on Elliot's career and day-to-day existence, and while the two bicker like children half the time, their bond is undeniable.
To match the rest of him, Elliot comes complete with an extremely immature and profanity-laced sense of humor. Anything from toilet to dick jokes are fair game, and he won't hesitate to make light of subjects others may find sensitive. This leads to him coming off as more off an asshole than he really is in many cases, but the two go hand in hand. He's not totally deprived of good qualities though: he's capable of caring about people, as his relationships with Tyson and Alice both show to differing degrees, and he never goes out of his way to harm anyone who doesn't deserve it. Chances are he won't back down from a fight or hesitate to start one with someone who's been annoying him, but he won't mow down random passer-bys with a machine gun either. He sees what he's doing back home as the right thing to do, and while he isn't deep into the whole concept of honor and justice he isn't just going to sit by and let the bad guys win.
Stuff that affects other people usually barely fazes this guy. Elliot won't stand for anyone insulting him or his friends (only he's allowed to call them names), but war and death and everything in between? All in a day's work. Compared to that, something like a sex island is almost laughable- the only two factors that will bother him at all will be the absence of Tyson and (until he finds out otherwise) the fact his friend is alone at home- since how could anyone's life be as good without Elliot Salem around?
Elliot also does seem to be at least somewhat technologically ignorant- messages sent from s3kshun8 in 'l33t' speak have to be translated by Tyson (ironically the older of the pair) before Elliot can understand them. Given his prowess in other fields, however, this is likely more out of laziness than a direct lack of knowledge, so something like the communicator should prove no problem.
» Appearance:
Perfectly normal, if a little rough around the edges- the stubble on his chin and tattoos all over his skin can attest to that. Being involved with the military in one way or another for over fifteen years, he's extremely fit; not as muscular as Tyson but nothing to sneeze at either.
Elliot will arrive in Amat with his heavy body armor and default flame mask from the game, though chances are he'll take on something more casual for the majority of his stay.

VIDEO POST
[ the feed clicks on, and amat is instantly greeted with the sight of 1 (one) shirtless elliot salem (and even pants are a stretch). ]
Hey, hey, hold on a minute here.
[ he's technically addressing a maid, but it's clear he realizes the camera is on and recording. ]
Lemmie get this straight: We're on a sex island, and people are complaining? [ he receives a nod offscreen as an answer, and almost bursts out laughing. ]
That's fuckin' rich! Wait 'til Tyse hears about this! [ a thoughtful pause, and then- ] Speaking of...
[ and now he's most definitely addressing the network. ]
Anyone seen a guy named Tyson Rios around here? Old, kinda ugly, and probably invented a couple hundred conspiracy theories if you've known him five minutes.

He'd long since grown accustomed to the routine, and just like everything else he was far from a stinge with his sex life- you got what you paid for around these parts, and he had the money to spare (and wasn't deterred even when he didn't). Some people took a 'don't ask don't tell' attitude to this side of things, but Elliot honestly couldn't care less; with a girl bent over the bed in front of him the entire world might be watching through a peephole and he'd probably just go faster.
What was different was waking up not in the slightly-above-average room he'd left behind but something far richer, and while the wet sheets weren't a surprise the quality of them certainly was. His first instinct was to check if he'd been robbed, which only resulted in the discovery of a collar around his neck (the nudity was fine; he'd be more surprised waking up with clothes on).
"... If you wanted me to stick around that bad, you only had to ask."
Was he complaining? Not in the slightest. Admittedly it was kind of odd, in that whole being-kidnapped-in-your-sleep kind of way, but being stolen by a total babe wasn't exactly his idea of a bad time. The mission was over, he'd just got a big payout, Tyson was probably off spending time with his family... Elliot didn't need to be tied down like that, and it took more than a crazy bitch with some bondage gear to faze him.
Part of him knew being unsure would be smart (since when did hookers start living in palaces?) but a bigger part simply didn't care enough; the mystery would solve itself in the end, and sure enough within in the next few minutes he had company- in the form of a maid.
... He didn't realize the girl was that kinky.
