Eris has no memories of his past life. After waking up in a Dalh facility on Pandora one day, he found himself memory-less and without a sense of who he was. He can vaguely recall a few things, muttered words from scientists and snippets of a past life, but the only thing he knows for sure is how to control his siren powers and how to use a corrosive smg. The people who found him named him Eris, after the facility and project's name, and he took to it well. Besides that, any files on him were burned or erased, the only known thing that he was a siren being trained by Dalh in collaboration with Maliwan for an ultimate soldier.
His real history is rather pathetic though, so it's a good thing Eris never remember. A college student, fresh out of the university with a double major of history and English, left him broke and in major debt. Top it off on him wanting top surgery and treatment to finally start his transitioning, he became desperate for money and Dalh just opened an unnamed position in their Pandora facility. Maybe it had been stupid at the time, but he needed the money, it was paid, and he stupidly assumed it would just be shooting guns or a desk job. He had been right; it was just shooting and testing new guns, but when the synthetic skin on his arm, hiding his siren markings, slipped one day, they got their hands on him quickly. They pumped him full of eridium just to see what would happen and Maliwan gave him weapons to fight with. The overdosage slowly consumed his memories till he almost became pliant in their hands, but his power, Phasewave, stopped them from hurting him anymore, subconsciously protecting him. After that, a group of vault hunters found him after hearing a tip about large amounts of info on vaults, saving his life and becoming his first friends as Eris.
The eridium dosage has left him irritable now, sometimes aggressive for no reason other than he feels like it, but Eris is happy enough in his life. His power, Phasawave, has helped him out a lot in his new life. It releases a large amount of energy that pushes his enemies back and causes massive damage towards them. Sometimes, it's laced with elemental side effects, such as corrosive or shock, but in can be used multiple ways. It can cause explosives, healed injured allies, and even be projected different, broader, weaker waves to reach multiple enemies or smaller, condensed ones that pack a punch to one person.

------------ Eris hadn't always looked the way he does know. While he may no longer retain the memory of his previous self, how he acts around his body obviously tells how unsure he is to his new self. Shoulders broader than before and a flatter chest, he's often unaware of his own strength, trained by Dahl to be a human weapon. While they did keep their promise to him, ruthless training turned him into an slightly more than ordinary soldier, his body scarred from weapons training and field tests. They tried to keep his hair short, but it always grew back too fast, so he happily was allowed to keep it however he wanted to. If it weren't for the spiraling blue marks around his left arm, he'd appear just like a normal Dahl solider. His siren marks are something to behold, the same, typical light blue, but unlike the whirling marks, his are more sharp. They start at his fingertips and crawl all the way to his upper neck, a few spilling over his chest only to be broken by the scars on his chest. A few linger along his neck, fading before they reach his jaw.
Ever since he managed to escape the Dahl facility on Pandora, Eris has tried to keep himself hidden among bandits. Since he keeps towards Frostburn Canyon, the siren lucked out in having an excuse to wear long sleeves everyday. Typically, he wears a heavy bomber jacket with bullymong fur lining, old Dalh patches on it from the soldier he stole it from. It does the job of hiding his siren marks well, just a slight few blue marks peaking over the top of his coat. To top it off, Eris wears gloves, heavy combat boots, and probably three pairs of pants to keep warm in the cold, rocket terrain. His pocket either carry extra ammo or snacks, with his guns strapped to his back, legs, or the inside of his jacket. His grenade mod and shield are strapped to a belt along with anything he needs, making sure he can move and run with ease.personality

------------While the siren can't recall what he had been like prior to selling himself over to Dahl, he's set in his ways after regaining some semblance in his life. Eris became a kind, caring soul when he came to it finally. He's not sure why, but violence never settled well with him. He'd much prefer to heal others than fight in a war, but if provoked, he can be a force to be reckoned with. Typically, he's more of a tactical person, planning and looking for solutions to a problem before using force. That doesn't mean he's not weak, often sacrificing himself for his beliefs and friends, offering assistance to taking a bullet.
With little to no memories of his previous life, Eris is an innocent soul, having little urges of revenge even against the corporation trying to create a human weapon out of him. The incident didn't leave him unscarred though. He's quieter now after it, preferring his own company and not use to speaking. He can even come off a bit shy due to that, untrusting at first and keeping his distance due to Dahl breaking his trust long ago. Still, he'll warm up eventually and loves to listen to people, offering a few words when possible and usually talking more with his hands than his mouth. Finally though, Eris is insecure, not just of his body, but of his powers, how he comes across to people, and his existence even. It doesn't mean that he's giving up anytime soon, but it just adds one more problem onto his growing list.
Due to his quiet nature, Eris loves things considered quiet. Soft music is probably his favorite thing, but he loves the warm waters of Wam Bam Islands, the trickle of the waterfall soothing to him. Elpis pulls at his memories, but gazing up at the scarred moon often brings him a sense of connection, the familiarity of a home and the comfort of not being alone. Just because he's quiet doesn't mean he's not passionate and dislikes quiet a few things. A few things would be obvious, such as needles from tests or Dahl, but eridium is another hatred of his. As a siren, he has a strong pull towards using it, but Dahl has left him dependent on it towards the point of craving it occasionally. Although he can still use his powers with ease, the surge of power he gets from eridium makes him both loathe and want more of it. What he hates most, more than anything else, is rakks, simply because they're loud and swarm him constantly.
