Elk (.hack)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elk is a fictional character from the .hack video game series, one part of the .hack franchise. He is a Wavemaster and a member of the .hackers, the name given to those who helped Kite save The World during The Twilight Incident.
Elk bears a resemblance to Tsukasa from .hack//SIGN because they use similar Wavemaster (magic class) avatars in the World.
Elk is shy and generally prefers to work alone. Initially, he will only join the player's party if Mia is currently present in the party as well. Eventually, he grows to trust Kite and the others.
[edit] Biography
One day while playing The World, Elk encounters an anthropomorphic cat character named Mia, with purple fur and long rabbit-like ears, lying in a field of Aromatic Grass. The Blademaster Mia, finds herself mysteriously affectionate to Elk, and quickly becomes his first friend in the game. They practically become inseparable from each other, as they search for Aromatic Grass.
Later, when Elk meets Kite, Elk becomes jealous of him because of Mia's interest in Kite's data draining bracelet. Eventually, Elk's jealousy wanes as he realizes that Kite has no interest in "taking Mia away" and they become friends. Mia then begins her fatal transformation into the sixth Phase, Macha, which he and Kite both witness. In the end, Elk becomes a pivotal and important character. In the current game series (G.U.) Endrance is believed to be Elk by many fans. Endrance, who carrys a small cat on his shoulder, is also the user of the Macha avatar, referred to as "The Temptress". Elk is also age 13 during the events of the games, and syncs up to Endrance's age of 20, as .hack//G.U. takes place 7 years later. Also, Elk and Endrance's taste in clothing color are identical. While this is only a theory, it seems to hold true as he is heard saying something about Mia (many understandably believe he is referring to his cat). Endrance is also voiced by Elk and Tsukasa's seiyuu, Mitsuki Saiga.
