I hope not but I think it'll be likely we'll get a shota, but I hope for another young male character (maybe 19-22, 18 is a cursed number to me now) and a female in her late 20's- early 30's.
I like a lot of types-- effeminate guys too, and I still don't find Eliot attractive, and like many guys in DOA5, he got the short end of the stick.
Still, I don't have to find him attractive to like him as a character. I find his story endearing and I like his resolution. Not every character has to be fap fodder.
They just fucked up his face, and I don’t like the blond hair and blue eyes combo. It’s so basic, if they gave Eliot green eyes and black hair he would’ve looked better
The problem with Eliot is that his looks dont fit the twink role and his attitude doesnt make up for it either. Hell even Brad Wong has more charisma than him lol
I dont think eliot has a personality, really. He’s literally the basic apprentice character. Besides him growing stronger there isn’t really much there. He has no story outside of his apprenticeship, literally. Like, who are his parents? Where does he come from? What is his background?
Tbh many DOA characters could have more development (although I don't think it's absolutely necessary), but Kokoro and Eliot got it pretty bad because unlike other characters they only appeared in 2 (3 if you count DOAD) games and DOA5 gave them *nothing*.
Kokoro at least has interesting connections to the characters unlike Eliot. He’s conntected to Brad and Gen, 2 very uninteresting characters. Ayane is probably the most interesting character he has a connection with.
Tbh his connection with Ayane is pretty feeble and obviously forced to make Itagaki's incest subtext gtfo. While I agree with the sentiment I just can't see Ayane with Eliot.
Like he should fug off with Marie Rose or something.
