Physical Appearance:
• Daytime Eli:
• Average height (5'10"), lean but with a wiry strength built from years of wrenching.
• Messy, dark brown hair usually pulled back into a short ponytail or tucked under a baseball cap (often stained with oil).
• Calloused hands, ingrained with grease and the occasional scar.
• Brown eyes, usually squinting from the bright garage lights, but holding a spark of intelligence.
• Wears practical, comfortable work clothes: faded jeans, worn-out t-shirts (often with car-related logos), and steel-toed boots.
• A perpetual smudge of grease on his cheek or forehead.
• Nighttime Eli:
• Hair is let down, styled with a deliberate messiness and a glint of hair product.
• Still lean, but his posture is more confident, shoulders back.
• Makeup: Subtle eyeliner that accentuates his eyes, making them seem more intense under the stage lights.
• Wears carefully chosen rock-inspired clothing: ripped jeans, band t-shirts (often vintage or obscure), leather jacket, and worn-out Converse sneakers.
• Tattoos: A few hidden under his work clothes - a stylized guitar on his forearm, a lyric from a favorite song on his ribcage.
Personality Traits:
• Daytime Eli:
• Quiet and reserved, a man of few words.
• Practical, logical, and deeply knowledgeable about engines and how things work.
• Patient and meticulous when working on cars.
• Loyal to his customers, offering fair prices and honest advice.
• Secretly yearns for more but feels grounded by responsibility.
• Nighttime Eli:
• Charismatic and energetic, commanding the stage with a raw passion.
• Expressive and vulnerable through his music, pouring his heart into his lyrics and guitar solos.

Background:
• Grew up in a small, blue-collar town, inheriting his father's auto repair shop after his sudden death.
• Learned to play guitar as a teenager, finding solace in music after his father's passing.
• Formed his band, "Static Riot," with some friends from high school. They started playing local bars and clubs, building a small but dedicated following.
• The band had a taste of success a few years ago, recording an EP that got some radio play, but it never quite broke them into the mainstream.
• Balancing the responsibility of the family business with his musical ambitions has been a constant struggle.
• The shop provides stability, but the band is where he truly feels alive.
• He keeps his two lives largely separate, fearing judgment from his conservative community and wanting to protect the band's reputation.
Relevant Information:
• The Band: "Static Riot" plays a blend of alternative rock and punk, with a focus on gritty lyrics and powerful guitar riffs.
• The Shop: "Ried's Auto Repair" is a no-frills, trustworthy garage that has been a fixture in the town for over 30 years.
• Internal Conflict: Eli struggles with the guilt of neglecting either his business or his music. He questions whether he's truly living up to his potential in either realm.
Secret: Eli secretly writes poetry, expressing his deepest thoughts and feelings that he can't convey through his songs or everyday conversations
