The Peacewalker

Eli is a very outspoken person. He speaks his mind all the time whether it offends someone or not. This could lead people to think that he is a jerk, but on the contrary he just cares about the person’s best interest . Eli is not going to be your “Yes Man” or anything. He will tell you when you are doing something wrong. Eli can be very kind hearted though, but he tries not to make or build any relationships with anyone because everyone he has gotten close to is dead because he has out lived them all. A normal man would have been driven crazy, but not Eli. His strong determination and willpower to protect these streets are probably the only thing that keep him going now. One thing he has done to keep stress from getting to him is chewing gum. Some people are addicted to alcohol, cigarettes, or other drugs, but Eli’s addiction is gum. This calms him from going crazy other than protecting people.

Eli was born to Asha an African American slave on September 7th, 1832 in Savannah,Georgia. Asha died from complication's during childbirth leaving Eli under the care of Walker family who owned the farm in which Asha and many other African American slave's worked on. Eli was also born into slavery. Connor Walker, father of the Walker family, had some humanity in him to keep Eli alive even though he was to young to work and was an extra mouth to feed. Connor was always hard on Eli when he was growing mainly because of his skin color and him being a slave of course.When Eli was able to walk, talk, and think, he was put to work. In Eli’s pre-teen years, he was terrified to even speak out against any of the demands that the Walker family would demand of him. Once Eli was in his teen years, he became much more outspoken against the orders that he was being given. This of course led Connor to try and put Eli in his place by physically abusing him in various ways when Eli would speak out.

Connor would give Eli severe beatings with stick's and a vine whip, a normal man would have died from the trauma but Eli was far from normal. He would heal at a faster paced then a regular man, for now Eli would pay no mind to it and would believe he was just a quick healer.During his late teen years Eli experienced a major growth spurt both in height and muscle mass. When Eli was 18 the Civil War had begun. A year later President Lincoln would give his Emancipation Proclamation speech claiming that all slaves in the South were free. Of course word of this spread throughout the South and eventually reached the city of Savannah. Once Eli found this out he tried to leave the household of the Walker family. Connor was there to stop him though and Eli tried to fight him. The fight of course was not a fair because neighbors of the Walker family would jump in and beat Eli, even though he had them beat in size. Connor and the other men would tie Eli to a post claiming that he was “too dangerous”.

Connor would grab the hunting rifle that was in the house and take aim at Eli. Connor would shoot Eli right in the chest. Connor would assume that Eli was dead at this point due to his body going limp after he was shot. Connor left his body tied to the post leaving it as a message to the other black men so they would not try and revolt. When it was nighttime on the same day, fellow black men would untie Eli and get ready to bury him. To everyone’s surprise the gun wound was gone! Eli was still breathing and alive. No one had any explanation for him still being alive because most of the people there witnessed him getting shot and killed. Two years of hiding with an underground group of other black men had passed. The city of Savannah was quite, until Sherman’s army came marching into Savannah during the end of his March to the Sea. This gave these men a chance to finally revolt against their former slave owners. In the midst of the short battle, Eli would come face to face with Connor again. This time though, the gun was in the other hand.

Eli claimed that this was ‘justice at hand' as he shot down Connor. Eli and the many other free black men would join Sherman’s army as they would march back up to Virginia to meet Grant’s army and defeat Lee’s army. The Civil War came to an end and Eli finally felt that he was now free. Eli would stay in the armed service for a few more years until he finally decided his time in the service was over. He learned how to fight, use guns, and how to survive. Eli went on to live a typically normal life, but it was still rough due to racism. He would get into many fights, disputes, and severe altercations. This led him to becoming a good street brawler and this was when he realized that he was not normal he could heal much quicker than any person he knew. He really wasn’t sure of what to make of this, he just though he was a quick healer. The years continued to pass and it was already the late 1800s now, 1898 to be exact. Eli would be 66 at this time, but would still look no older than a day over 20. Eli would find this extremely odd and the doctors had no explanation for this.

Eli would be in tip top physical condition as he joined the American army again for the Spanish-American War. There were many times that Eli should have died from a gun wound but didn’t. Sometimes he would get shot and the bullet wouldn’t even go through his body. Other times fatal wounds for him would heal the same day. Some of his friends would see it as a natural phenomenon and others would see him as a freak of nature. It really wouldn’t matter though because Eli would out live all of these men and continue to living from the World Wars to the present day. Over almost 2 centuries of living Eli had seen the world, mastered the use of many guns, learned how to fight and protect himself, and was greatly supported by the army. However for a period 5 year's Eli grew tired of taking lives and wanted to start fresh and he would move to Mecca and Convert to Islam.

Eli has turned to pacifism during his time in Islam, and refuses to kill or hurt anyone and feel it's time for him to retire from fighting and settle down. However, Eli would fight again when the terrorist group Al-Qaeda came and captured a group of Islam women and children along with US Soilder's. Eli successful saved the men and women along with the children and was decorated through out the small village of Sunni. Eli would soon be asked by the Islamic Government to become a symbol of Islam and help against the terroist attacks. Eli accepted, he finally found his purpose to protect his people. Eli would undergo several treatments which the Islamic Government said would augment his healing factor along with enhance his body. In spite of his healing factor, the treatment made him more agile and enhanced his strength to a superhuman level..After a 6 month’s of intense rehabilitation and power familiarization they premiered him to the world. Now his spirit is restored, his body was stronger he would make a difference as The PeaceWalker but in Islam they call him The Amal ( In English it means The Peace, However in America he is referred to as The PeaceWalker)
