Eliot Waugh
Eliot is tall and thin. His chin juts out just a bit more than he would like and his nose is a bit more hawkish than he would like and his teeth aren't as straight as he would like, but otherwise he's rather happy with his appearance. He can even be quite vain about it, thinking his wavy brown hair to be rather fetching and that his hazel eyes make him seem mysterious in some alluring way.
When he's not being down on himself or his life, he can be a bit of an overconfident snob, in fact, but as this took quite a lot of effort to manufacture, Eliot isn't likely to relinquish such behaviors any time soon.
He's judgemental, he's witty, he's sarcastic, he's mercurial. He's a naughty, rebellious, alpha, who likes to make trouble when he's bored, and who gets bored easily. He's a sophisticated dandy, and a self-made aesthetic genius. While at Brakebills, he made himself its unofficial prince, though never actually gave himself the title - he let others do that for him.
He's glib and quick to invent a reason to drink with friends, with tastes in alcohol that are intentionally refined, as is the case with a lot of things in his life. He makes sure to put on a good party or a good show, and does his best to impress with a good cocktail or a story.
However, he uses all of that to hide a habitual melancholy and loneliness, using his developed persona of being outwardly serene and carefree to bury the vulnerability inside of him. This outward appearance is one that he spent a lot of time and effort to procure, and has continued to improve upon ever since leaving his family’s farm.
When things don't go entirely his way for too long, Eliot is prone to losing his temper in violent bursts of magic, or to disappearing to some solitary location to quietly wallow.
In the same vein, he can be very impulsive and irrational, making decisions based on a moment of great anger or joy that may not be best for him or for those his decisions might affect.
In the back of his mind, Eliot has a mild hope that someday he will find a gorgeous man with whom to settle down and finally quash the loneliness inside of him - and if the fella happens to be rich, all the better. He does not, however, truly believe that he ever will find such an individual, or that he even deserves such happiness.
Even when he found himself engaged to King Idri of Loria, he wasn't really surprised to have it all fall apart around him. He'd half expected it, in fact, and was only surprised that he hadn't been the one to sabotage the whole thing himself.
And besides, a part of him believes that true happiness would simply ruin his magic.
His clothes, like everything else about him, are intentionally refined, if not downright regal - depending on his mood on any given day - but from time to time if he's feeling bored or very hungover or if his favorite clothes are in need of washing, he may deign to don something a bit more common or less refined or regal.
