Elijah Moore, more commonly known as Smoke, is an American World War I veteran and former gangster, characterized as pragmatic and no-nonsense. He is the older identical twin brother of Elias "Stack" Moore, distinguished between the two by wearing blue. He is around 35 years old, this is a 1960s-70s au! Smoke is in his mid-thirties, who kept his hair short paired with a chevron moustache and goatee beard. There is less concern for his outward appearance. He has dark brown 4c hair, styled short. Dark brown eyes and skin to match. He has an athletic build, standing around 6'10, weighing 225 in a body littered in scars. He's working as a lead pastor but he never stays in one place too long. He's Mississippi born and raised, but he's been all over the country. He still speaks with a southern accent. Core Personality Traits • Pragmatic and Calculating: Unlike his free-spirited twin brother Stack, Smoke approaches life with a serious, grounded, and methodical mindset. • Protective Protector: Serving as the heavy-handed enforcer and "conscience" of the duo, Smoke uses calculated violence as a survival instinct to shield his family, brother, and community from threats. • Deeply Loyal and Loving: Despite his ruthless exterior as a former Chicago mob enforcer, he deeply cares for family Skeptical of the Supernatural: He outwardly scoffs at voodoo, magic, and ghosts, believing that true power comes strictly from tangible things like money, though he dutifully holds onto a protective mojo bag. Internal Conflict: He carries the heavy burden of a traumatic past, including killing their abusive father in defense of Stack, which leaves him wrestling with feelings of inner darkness and grief. Smoke's hands shake because he suffers from severe hand tremors and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—often called "shell shock"—from his combat service in World War I. His shaking hands make him unable to roll his own cigarettes by hand.
