► OVERALL PERSONALITY:
When most people think of Elvis, his style of performing on stage is the first thing that comes to mind. It's easy to know what he was like out on stage but what is he like when he's not in the limelight? Elvis is a generous man. When he was a child, he would often give away his toys to kids less fortunate than him. This generosity translated over onto stage as well, for he did often perform at various benefit concerts. When he was younger, he was rather shy and stayed away from performing live. And, now in his life of fame, he tries not to let it get to his head and still likes to treat people like how he wants to be treated. He's very gracious to his fans, giving them autographs and pictures not to help his popularity but to make them happy because he knows how much they mean to them.
He still likes a certain about of privacy in his life but knows that his profession doesn't exactly allow it and he tries to accept that with a smile. When he is pushed to a certain point he does have a bad temper but that doesn't happen often. Elvis believes that tragedies make you a better human being, giving you a better understanding of yourself and others. He's a humble man who doesn't consider himself any better than the average joe just because he's famous now. He's not in a rush with his life, living in for the present more so than for the future. Instead of whatever he says/thinks going, he likes to get other peoples' ideas and opinions first. He loves to help others and has a healthy since of humor, often turning mishaps onto stage into a joking situation.

► HOMETOWN: Born in Tupelo, Mississippi; moved to Memphis, Tennessee when he was thirteen
► CURRENT RESIDENCE: Memphis, Tennessee, although he has been spending a lot of time here and there making movies
► FAMILY: Mother--Gladys Love Presley, deceased; Father--Vernon Elvis Presley; Jesse Garon Presley--stillborn twin
► HISTORY:
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935 to Vernon and Gladys Presley in Tupelo. He had a stillborn twin who was delivered thirty-five minutes before him. Being an only child, he was close to both of his parents, especially his mother. His father was often unemployed and, three years after Elvis was born, they lost their home and his father was sent to jail for altering a check written by the landowner. Elvis and his mother moved in with relatives.
The church he and his family attended was where he found his musical inspiration. He made his first public performance in 1945 in a singing contest at a fair, where he came in fifth place. For his eleventh birthday, he received his first guitar and was given lessons by two uncles and the new pastor at his family's church. When he was thirteen, his family moved to Memphis. A couple of years later, he started to seriously practice the guitar with the help of a neighbor. His neighbor, him, and two other boys formed a loose band that would play around their housing complex.
By the time that he graduated high school in 1953 he knew that he wanted to go into music. In August of that year, he went to the offices of Sun Records to record a couple of songs. One of the producers, Sam Phillips, told the receptionist to note his name, and Elvis came back a few months later to record two more songs but nothing big came of them. He soon failed an audition for a vocal quartet and then failed a tryout for a friend's band. But Phillips soon had Elvis back at Sun Records to record some more songs. Phillips liked what he heard and invited Elvis back for a recording session.
The beginning of the session proved unfruitful but then Elvis picked up his guitar and started singing "That's All Right," a 1946 hit. It was exactly what Phillips had been looking for. It was aired on the radio, and people began to eagerly call into stations to find out who this new singer was. Elvis began to do live performances regularly soon afterwards. He signed with RCA Victor in November 1955. He made his first recordings for RCA in early 1956. "Heartbreak Hotel" was his first single released with the company. His debut album was released on March 23, 1956, and it became the first rock and roll album to top the Billboard chart, remaining there for ten weeks.
In 1957, he purchased an 18-room mansion just south of Memphis for him and his family--a mansion named Graceland. He began to work on movies around this time, while still finding time to go on tours...until he was drafted into the army on March 24, 1958. He was granted emergency leave to visit his sick mother, who died of heart failure a couple of days after he came home. He was sent to Germany on October 1st. It was there that he was first introduced to amphetamines. It was in Germany that he met the then fourteen-year-old Priscilla. He was honorably discharged from the army on March 5, 1960.
On March 25, 1961, he performed at a benefit concert for a Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii. Little did he know that that was going to be his last public performance for awhile. His manager, Colonel Tom Parker, pushed him into a loaded movie-making schedule. Currently, he's finding himself traveling here and there, having already released four films in the this decade alone, with plans to work on many more in the works. While he has the opportunity to throw many new songs into his movies, his music is still suffering because his manager wants him to focus more on the movies than the music. Frankly speaking, all Elvis wants is a little break from it all.

► ALIAS: Lindsay
► OTHER CHARACTERS: William Martin Edelman
► WHERE YOU FOUND US: Caution 2.0
► ROLE-PLAY EXAMPLE:
Jack knew that Time Lords could defeat death by regenerating but the Doctor was only a little over nine hundred years old; the Captain didn't expect to ever run into a Time Lord that was over two thousand years old. "If you're purpose was to let me know that I'm not the oldest creature in this bar, thereby helping to restore some of my vanity, then, yes, mission accomplished." Jack returned the wink without a second thought. For all intents and purposes, Jack might end up living forever. He hadn't run into himself in the silo at the end of the universe but that didn't mean he wasn't somewhere out there in the universe at that time. Therefore, Jack had ever reason for the need to feel vain. Was he going to age or was he just imagining the new gray hairs he always thought he was finding in the morning?
Indeed it had been nothing more than a freak accident. He had been on Satellite Five with the Ninth Doctor and Rose, where they had discovered that the Daleks had set up a giant game show base where the contestants who lost would be turned into Daleks themselves. They had mounted as good of a defense as they possibly could with the means that they had had but Jack, along with almost everyone else, had died. The Captain should have remained dead. But Rose, whom the Doctor had sent home in the TARDIS, had come back and looked into the heart of the TARDIS. She destroyed all of the Daleks and brought Jack back to life. And it was only later that he had learned from the Doctor (the Tenth one this time) that he was a fixed point in time. Jack was always going to exist. He was one of those rare things that could never be changed. So, yes, freak accident. Every time someone looked at Jack they were looking at someone who should have been dead a long time ago.
Anyone other human being probably would have been slightly offended by the Hermit's comment to the retreating Alonso but Jack didn't mind. In fact, he actually found it refreshing to run into someone else who didn't mind flirting around with whoever caught their interest. Twenty-first century humans were too prudish. While they were getting better at accepting different lifestyles, monogamy and being faithful to one person seemed to still be a must for most of them. Jack had done plenty of research on the Doctor but any names other than the Doctor had never come up. He wasn't going to press the issue, however, of whatever name the Hermit had almost called him by. "I traveled with him a few times but it was mostly running around, saving the universe, not a lot of time for talking."
Well, there may or may not be other Time Lords out there. That wasn't all that helpful. Before Jack could remember his uttering the words 'never mind' about the subject he inquired, "And would one of those two be the Master?" He couldn't hide the contempt in his voice as he uttered that Time Lord's name; he was a sadistic and psycho man. He had found it quite amusing to kill Jack again...and again...and again...rather gleeful each time that the Captain came back to life. Jack almost wished he hadn't been at the eye of the storm once he destroyed the paradox machine. What he wouldn't give to have forgotten that year of hell on Earth.
K’anpo Rimpoche. That made Jack briefly wonder what the Doctor's real name was but now was not the time to pry this Time Lord for information on another of his kind. Then he gave him his 'title.' He nodded his head at the mention of Hermits United. "At the end of the universe...Long story," he said, not wanting to get into the mess that had been the Master's reign on Earth for that one year.
The Captain took a swig of his drink before setting the glass back down. The inevitable question that most patrons in a bar got asked came. "What a nice fellow like me is doing in a grand place like this is trying to forget what brought a nice fellow like me into a grand place like this." Jack let out a small chuckle to keep things light-hearted. He didn't share his troubles with the people closest to him so he wasn't about to share them with a Time Lord who had appeared out of the blue. "And I think, Hermie--" Hermit just sounded strange, and he wasn't going to even to try and pronounce his real name. "--you were made to order to help me forget them."
