Elliot Jaylin Royce is eighteen years old. The young man was born on February 6th in Sunnyvale, Texas. He's a thinker, but he loves to have carefree fun.
"I've been called many things, such as punk and even 'emo', which I think is ridiculous. I like to think I'm different, unique, but if you had to categorize me as anything I'd hope it's passionate."

"My name's Elliot Jaylin Royce."
Elliot Jaylin Royce was named after his cousin, who ran away from home when he was sixteen years old. He had gotten a girl pregnant and the two disappeared together. Elliot's mother had been very close to Jaylin, he practically lived in their house. Jaylin's parents had relationship problems and went off on business trips very often.
"I like to be called Eli, my friends like to call me El."
Elliot is one for nicknames. It's not that he doesn't like Elliot; he does. He just rather be called Eli or some other nickname. People like his teachers and his grandma call him Elliot, though. He doesn't mind.
"I'm eighteen years old."
Elliot was born February 8th in Sunnyvale, Texas. He is the second youngest of four children. He has two older brothers and a younger sister. Josh is the oldest. He's twenty-three and lives in an apartment with his girlfriend of four years. Luke is the second oldest. He's twenty-one years old and still goes to college. Elliot's sister is sixteen and she lives with their parents.

"I love to make people smile and laugh."
Elliot is a bit of a clown. He loves humor. Being funny is just so entertaining to him. Besides, he loves the sounds of laughter and the looks on people's faces. Elliot likes other people to be happy, no matter who it is. He uses his humor to cheer people up. His humor can be a bot crude and dry, though, which he tries to keep to himself.
"I do pretty well in school. Well, besides math. I suck at math."
Elliot is a smart boy, he always has been. Ever since he was little, you could tell he was bright. He had learned to read before school began and excelled in all subjects, beside math. Math confuses him. He could never grasp the formulas and processes which caused him to do poorly. He's had a math tutor since the beginning of middle school and all through out high school. Elliot is decent, but he's slow when it comes to solving mathematical equations.
"I don't care much for other's opinions."
Elliot has never been one to get caught up in what other people might think. He only cares about what he thinks about himself, along with a slight consideration of what his loved ones might say. In the end, Elliot doesn't let anyone stop him from doing what he wants to, unless it's himself. He criticizes himself and has impossibly high expectations for himself. The young man doesn't have the greatest self confidence, but he tries not to let it show. he's good at hiding his emotions.
"I love music. It's a huge part of my life."
Elliot has loved music his whole life. He began learning to play guitar when he was eleven years old and piano when he was even younger. He has an exceptional singing voice and a knack for coming up with song lyrics. Elliot isn't into mainstream pop; he likes anything from post-hardcore to indie. He also likes 'oldies' music as in the Beatles, Queen, Aerosmith, and the Who.
"Photography is a even bigger part."
Elliot loves photography. It means the world to him. it's his way of expressing himself. It's his way of release; a way to get out his emotions. it's also a way to help Elliot remember. Sad things that happened, moments he wished he could live in forever, anything really. A picture is really worth a hundred words. He's dedicated to his pictures. He's even willing to wait hours, even days, to get his perfect shot. Elliot carries a camera everywhere and anywhere.
"I can get pretty into things."
Elliot is passionate about everything he does. He gives his all. He's a hard worker and determined. He puts forth effort and tries to do his best. This combined makes him a competitive person; he likes to win.

"My hair is naturally brown."
Elliot does indeed dye his hair. He gets blond highlights. He isn't embarrassed, though. He actually likes his hair when it's blond and he likes how it looks on him. It makes him feel better about him.
"i have blue eyes."
Elliot has icy blue eyes. it's one of the qualities he has that he actually likes. He wouldn't change his eye color if he could.
"Yes, I wear eyeliner. Now if you're going to make a joke, I don't want to hear it."
Elliot outlines his eyes in black eyeliner. It's like the reason he dyes his hair. It makes him feel better about himself because he likes how he looks with eyeliner on.
"I'd say I have a good body."
Elliot is 5"10 and weighs about 150 pounds. He's not very tall, but he's happy with his height, though he wouldn't mind if he was an inch or a few taller. Elliot is built from lifting heavy boxes at work and he also keeps in shape in his free time. Elliot doesn't have any body modifications, but he wants to get tattoos in the near future. He just wants to make sure that he's satisfied enough with designs before getting it on his body.

"I like to consider myself scent sensitive."
Elliot had always been a little sensitive when it came to scents. Something that people could barely smell was something that nearly overwhelmed him. Ever since he was little, he'd get headaches in a matter of minutes before of a scent. He remembers when he was younger he and his family when on a road trip. They stopped at a truck stop and there was a man smoking. The smell of the smoke was enough to make twelve year old Elliot throw up. The scent of rubber was also something that made Elliot uneasy, along with vanilla perfumes.
"I own two guitars."
Elliot has two guitars. One that he got when he first started learning to play. The second, which is the one he actually still uses, is a black acoustic guitar he had gotten as a present for his thirteenth birthday from his sister, Abby. She was only eleven and it meant the world to Elliot. She had used all her saved up birthday money to get it for him. Abby had said it was because, "Elie Wheelie has been so sad and music makes him happy." He and his sister had always been close and when Elliot was a young teenager, he had a rough time. He was never happy with himself and was embarrassed with the way he looked. Along with that, his family was moving at the time and he was getting little attention. Josh was moving out and heading to college, Luke was causing trouble, and Abby was needy. Elliot felt like he was just there.
"I have cameras."
Elliot has multiple cameras.
He has a Nikon D800. It's one of his most prized (and expensive) possessions. Ever since he was a young child, he wanted a camera. A professional one that takes exceptionally amazing pictures. When he was ten years old he told his parents that he wanted that camera. He said that he wanted money to go towards a camera in place of gifts for his birthday and Christmas. His parents agreed, but figured he'd change his mind soon enough; he didn't. For his eighteenth, he finally got the Nikon D800. Luckily for Elliot, his parents have high paying jobs and were able to put aside $500 dollars for his camera in place of birthday and holiday gifts. Along with that, Elliot got a job pushing shopping carts at Fareway and he got money amounts from other family members, as well. He also got a Olympus OM-D E-M5, a waterproof camera. This camera is less expensive than the Nikon, but still an amazing camera. Elliot had saved up nearly 2,000 dollars on his own and with money from birthdays and holidays. That along with the $8,000 his parents contributed (they kept their promise), Elliot was able to purchase these cameras. The cameras alone were almost $4,500. Elliot put another 1,000 dollars towards accessories and cases for the accessories. He tried to give the remaining money to his parents since they helped so much, but they refused. They told him to put it aside, just in case.
Along the way, Elliot had other cameras. They were only digital cameras, nothing too special, but Elliot managed to take amazing pictures with them anyways. He admits, that is partially due to the computer editing skills he picked up, but his photography skills.
