Eli & Zoe - Their Exes
For those of you who were here back in 2021, you may recall these templates that were created by the amazing @jamespotterthefirst. They were fun, and they were also extremely helpful in developing characters and creating backgrounds. So, I decided to do this template for Eli & Zoe in my Wake the Dead world. I may do others if I feel they will be helpful.
Since they live in a post-apocalyptic world with very different realities/challenges that we face, their history is different, yet, there are some similarities to things we experience today. They are not all pretty, and I will place trigger warnings before each photo/slide so you can skip over specific ones if you wish.
If you're reading my WTD fics, I hope this helps you understand the characters better, as it has helped me in creating them.
One last note, I will use these FCs for Eli (Kendrick Sampson - yes, he resembled Jesse Williams - no - it's not him lol) and Zoe (Adria Arjona). But I will be using them RARELY. I am really hoping to rely more on artwork for fics in the WTD world. Also, thank you to @cariantha for the suggestion for Eli.
Eli's Exes
TW: Missing person
FC: Hera Hilmar
Eli & Nessa loved each other but were not in love. Each got 50% because they were just so confused and unsure of their real feelings.
They were the best of friends and trusted each other implicitly. But commitment is at 50% again because of the uncertainty. If things had turned out differently, there is a good chance they would have ended up together. If they decided to commit to each other, they would have remained fully committed - in love or not.
TW: Not exactly healthy sexual relationship / No abuse
FC: Charlize Theron
There was zero love, or even like, between Eli & Cora.
This was a purely sexual relationship born of pure physical need and loneliness.
While the "relationship" lasted around 9-months, their encounters were limited and only took place when Eli traveled to her town for trading purposes.
TW: None really for this one, though it does discuss arranged relationships in a controlled society.
FC: Jannik Schumann
Jon gets a 20% for "in love" because Jon was in love with the idea of pleasing the leaders. He was not in love with Zoe at all.
Friendship and trust levels are low but not non-existent. At that time, Zoe was still cordial with Jon because they were training together. Had they been sent on missions, she would have trusted him... to a degree... and vice-versa. But the more he became loyal to The Tower, the less trust/friendship they had.
TW: Grooming, inappropriate relationships with an authority figure
FC: Chris Pratt
Zoe entered into this "willingly", believing she was seeking a physical, no-strings-attached relationship. She was actually a little proud of herself for doing so. It was only later she realized how Carlton was a groomer who took advantage of those who were his students and others he had power over.
Because of this, Zoe has a 15% for "in love" because, in the start, she thought maybe they meant something a little more, but Carlton knew exactly what it was the entire time. This is also why there is a 10% for commitment - mostly on the part of Zoe.
Trust is at 50% because initially, Zoe trusted him, maybe not fully, but a good deal. Of course, that was crushed. She did not trust him after, but to a degree, she did. They both had to trust that the other would keep their "secret" for different reasons.
TW: None, really - but it does discuss anti-LGBT views in The Tower
FC: Henry Golding
Zoe & Tylo were not in love with each other, not at all. But they did care about each other very much. Their relationship was up front, supportive, and healthy - so they get a 25% on "in love" for that reason.
Friendship, trust, and sex were all high. Not unlike Eli & Nessa, if these two were "in love," it could have been a good thing, but they weren't.
That said, commitment got 50% because they were very committed to what they had. They were committed to protecting each other. But neither had any illusions that this was "true" or would last forever.
A little bit more...
I will tag Perma & WTD lists separately.

I have a bunch of connections for my muses over at @coloradohq that I’d love to see filled. So, I’ll just leave them here below the cut if anyone is interested.
MALACHI DUBOIS is looking for HIS EX/THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP (suggestions include Ilhan Sen, Kendrick Sampson, Daniel Henney, Dylan Bruce, Li BingBing, Aishwarya Rai), but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ as a note, this connection is incredibly open for interpretation. I’m simply imagining a lot of pining and unresolved feelings. Malachi hasn’t had many serious relationships in his lifetime. He’s shied away from them for a variety of reasons, one of which is his PTSD. I imagine that this is someone he dated after returning stateside and for whatever reason, they ended things. It’s been some time, but Malachi still wonders about the what ifs!)
LEILA ATTAR is looking for HER EX FIANCE. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of Oliver Stark, Alejandro Speitzer, Ilhan Sen, Zeeko Zaki, Oliver Jackson-Cohen or Aaron Taylor Johnson, but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ two weeks ago, Leila and her fiancé were supposed to get married. They’d been together for a while and were seemingly desperately in love, but on the day of the wedding, she had a change of heart, and left him standing at the altar. I imagine that he’s not too happy about that and is probably looking for an explanation. We can plot the details of their relationship together!)
ELIJAH LOOMIS is looking for HIS EX. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP (suggestions include Drew Ray Tanner, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Brandon Perea, Renata Notni, Tyler DiChiara, Elliot Fletcher, Zion Moreno, Michael Evans Behling, Lucien Laviscount), but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ this is someone that Eli dated after Noah’s mother, so they’d 100% know that he has a child and would have to be okay with that. For the most part, the relationship was stable and supportive, and Eli could see himself getting serious about this person. Ultimately, they ended up splitting because this person suspected that Eli had unresolved feelings for his best friend. Whether they’re still friendly with Eli or hold some level of resentment towards him is completely UTP!)
MALACHI DUBOIS is looking for THEIR MILITARY BUDS. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP, but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ Mal’s been out of the military for nearly two decades now due to a medical discharge (info in his intro post), but he still attends groups at the VA and keeps up with his military buds. Once a month, they all get together to have some drinks and shoot some pool. I’m imagining some casual friendships. I’d also like if one of them was more of a close friend – maybe they work out together every day – someone Mal can confide in, who uniquely understands his circumstances and helps him with managing his PTSD!)
MALACHI DUBOIS is looking for their EMPLOYEES (3). they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of ANY FC but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ Malachi owns a gym. So, this connection is really open to anyone who’d work there – personal trainers (boxing instructors, Zumba instructors), nutritionists, PTs, janitors, etc.!)
LEILA ATTAR is looking for THEIR COWORKERS (DANCERS & BOUNCERS) AT AMBROSIA LOUNGE. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP, but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ Ambrosia is a gentleman’s club. So, there’s space for bartenders, dancers, waitstaff, security, etc. I imagine that the staff is relatively close since they work together frequently, but as with any job, there may be tensions and/or rivalries there. Maybe even secret romances. It’s really all up for plotting!)
CLARISSA REYES is looking for HER GODBROTHER/BUSINESS PARTNER. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of ANY FC 32+ (suggestions include Alp Navruz, Jai Courtney, Michael Trevino, Charles Michael Davis, etc), but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ Clarissa has always viewed this muse as an older brother of sorts. Growing up, Clary was like his shadow. Ten years ago, she and her father moved to Denver. Clarissa didn’t know at the time that the move brought them closer to her older half sister. When her father died two years ago, Clarissa not only did she find out about this sister, but she also inherited the Ignition Kingdom. I imagine that this muse was working here before as something of a right hand man for her father. Clarissa is now discovering that the shop doubled as a chop shop and that her godbrother was well aware of the illegal things going on, but was instructed to keep this information away from Clary. Now that she’s found out, though, she’s determined to use her business acumen to grow the business!)
LEILA ATTAR is looking for HER FREQUENT PATRON. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP (35+), but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ A well known face at Ambrosia Lounge, they come to see Leila dance on a nearly weekly basis. They’ve got a comfortable sort of working relationship - they check in on her, and always leave a big tip. Leila is fond of them.!)
ELIJAH LOOMIS is looking for HIS PARENTS. they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of UTP (but in mind Denzel Washington and Angela Bassett) but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ much of these muses’ life story is UTP. All that’s really set in stone is that they’re the parents of 3 children (Eli is their youngest.) As with every parent/child relationship, they have their tumultuous moments. They really wish that Eli had some sort of path in life and it can be cause for argument a lot, but when Eli’s son, Noah, was born, they were an incredible support for Eli. He knows that he can still count on them and they often help to babysit when Eli just needs a few hours to himself!)
ELIJAH LOOMIS is looking for HIS OLDER SIBLINGS (1/2). they’d like the faceclaim to possibly be someone along the lines of SHAMIER ANDERSON, AJA NAOMI KING, ANTOINETTE ROBINSON, ALDIS HODGE but you must reach out to OFWISHFULTHINKING to find out more! (+ The loomis family didn’t have much in terms of material possessions, but Eli always knew that he was loved. As the baby of the family, he was quite spoiled, though he’d never admit it. Like any family, the siblings have their differences and sometimes fight, but Eli is grateful for his older siblings as they are incredible supports in helping him to raise Noah!)
