full appearance;;

((Totallygonnagetacommissionforthisoops))

The first thing one will probably notice about Eddie is that he sticks out like a sore thumb. His skin is a very clear, very obvious shade of Ultramarine blue. Despite this rather off-putting feature, his eyes are at least a nice color. They're a shade of amber, mixed with small flecks of gold. The pupil adjusts with various shades of light much like a cat, so it'€™s not rare to see him with sunglasses in the broad daylight. The rest of his body is human, the exceptions being his claws, tail, and ears. Obnoxiously large and quite honestly a pain in the ass to carry around, a fluffy tail drags behind him a foot or so after touching the ground. It'€™s the same color as his skin, mixed in with patterns of the same black found in his hair, but that'™ll be described later. On the end of his tail are four spikes, but as he has purposely worn them down they don't pose much of a threat. As for his claws, they'€™re black and well kept, at the tips of his fingers only an inch or so from the bed. His toes are a bit like this as well, but he keeps these filed completely. The last inhuman feature about him as mentioned are his ears, pointed like a dog or deer at the sides of his head. They're blue, too, and pretty good at showing his emotions.

Besides all this there'€™s a gentleness about his face. It appears as though he'€™s locked in a permanent state of mellow melancholy. It's caressed by a mop of soft, ink black hair, falling in puffed wisps to halfway down his neck. To some, he may be just plain inhuman. But to others he looks just plain fluffy. He doesn’t look specifically like a threat like this, as he’s more man than monster minus a minor few details. But this can all change, as his ability explains just why.

Attire;;

-EVERYDAY: A mixture of hipster and punk, Eddie wears things that are either too baggy or on the verge of restricting his air flow. Though he does dress lightly for the summer, he has found that he very much likes the island’s winters and therefore likes sweaters and hats. Mittens are nice too.

-MAKEUP: Like many young adults it's not rare for Eddie to feel a bit self conscious about himself. He'€™s found he'€™s quite handy at airbrushing and other tools, and occasionally disguises his distracting blue with a more natural tone. This takes hours for him though, so it usually has to be a really bad day for him or a really fancy occasion.


Personality
personality;;

It wouldn’t be a completely unfitting idea to hand this a guy a "world's worst monster" mug as a birthday present. It’s true, Eddie is not a fan of his occupation. As a bogeyman of sorts it's a sin for him to be as much of a pudding as he is when faced with small children. They scare him. Literally, they make him scream as much as they would to him. This is because he is not a fan of loud noises or sudden distractions. He tells no one but he does have moderate ADHD, thus explaining his low tolerance for such fickle and spontaneous things like children. In addition it’s hard for him to concentrate over long periods of time in things he doesn'€™t really care about, leading for him to squirm or fidget in place as to not get anxious. This is even worse in places with an excess of people, because, well, let's just say he just doesn't like them in general. Kids are especially bad, but human strangers still do put him on edge. He's quiet usually because of this, often times unsure of what to say or do in social scenarios. But it'€™s not like he doesn't€™t try. He'€™s a good monster, all things considering.

As stated that facade of somberness is pretty much always present. But when asked about it a gut reaction comes to him and in turn he smiles, assuring everything is alright. He'€™s fine the way he is, and honestly has a relatively bright outlook on his life. Why is he so quiet? It'€™s the same reason he gives to all acquaintances- “I simply don'€™t have much to say. And he leaves it at that. Schoolwork is a mildly difficult challenge for him and his grades remain at an average. What he is skilled at are puzzle games; things for his claws to wrap around and solve. Rubik€™s cubes and Soduku puzzles are a breeze for him, and since he'€™s not totally into technology those are what keep him entertained, exception being his iPod. When he does feel like being social however it takes a little while for him to properly open up besides small talk. When people get close to him they really do see that cuddly monster side of him that definitely shows he'€™s no intentional threat. He can be a downright 'puppy'€™ at times, protective of those he cares about and affectionate just like one. He can get a bit clingy as he's not used to intimacy nor interactions outside of his family. So when it comes and he gets a good feeling off of someone that warm side of him comes out and he'€™ll be sure to be on his best behavior to keep it around.

However...

He is the bogeyman, after all. And he will have that bit of nastiness tucked away in the recesses of his brain. Fierce aggression will rear its ugly head if he's pushed to the brink and his claws will no longer be something of an inconvenience but a weapon. It takes a kick or a shout to get him back on track. But even then he could lash out on the person trying to protect him from himself. Of course being like this isn't€™t his intention. But once he'€™s started, he'€™s hard to stop. It'€™s a miracle he'€™s a calm creature, because otherwise he probably would have been shot down a long time ago...

Besides this dark exception he'€™s a decent young man and a clean one at that. He likes to tidy up and is very persnickety about his own cleanliness, often keeping hand sanitizer on him at all times. His humor i€™s a little€... Off, however (How many people can pull of a dirty joke with a deadpan face?), but at least he doesn'€™t try these sorts of things out in public if he's not overwhelmed. Overall he'€™s a relaxed and smooth guy. If he'€™s not provoked it'll stay that way. Most likely.


Likes;;

-PUZZLES: As stated, they keep his scrambled mind busy. He also won'€™t say no to chess or cards, either.
-CLEANLINESS: It'€™s next to Godliness.
-DARK HUMOR: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because he died. That'€™ll keep him going for hours.
-COLD WEATHER: Snow and winter make him happy. With it comes fireplaces, hot chocolate, and Christmas. The boy sure does love Christmas.
-QUIET PLACES: He likes the little things in life and has a strong appreciation for silence. And he likes others that like that too.



Dislikes;;

-CHILDREN: It’s been said before and it’ll be said again- he’s terrified of them. He'll probably end up covering his eyes with his ears if he gets any flack from them.
-HIS DIET: He's supposed to eat people, specifically kids. But it's just... Gross. And doesn't taste all that great either. His all meat diet usually is undercooked, but at least it's something outside the socially unacceptable area. He'll usually go out personally to hunt for something like deer, though.
-FEELING OUT OF PLACE: God knows he is daily.
-WARM RAIN: It makes his fur sticky and messed with his vision. Cold rain is fine, but when it's humid he feels icky.
-TELEVISION: It's too much to concentrate on for him. He much rather read a book he likes.








Power
Power;;
Major:
-SELF MUTATION: Because he's a monster he has to look the part. If needed he can alter his body to add or remove features to make himself frightening. This includes extra limbs, pointed teeth, fur, and more of those spikes seen on his tail. But as expected he tries to keep this away as much as possible. Other people will scream and he'll scream too. It'll just be a mess. He can also try to remove his ears and tail into something normal but that... Ouch.

Minor:
-INHUMAN QUALITIES: He's got slightly better hearing and smell, like he's more of a creature than a man. He also can run on all fours if totally necessary, but that'll just make his hands dirty!
-FEAR INDUCEMENT: It's not a given, but he hasn't met a kid yet that hasn't gotten frightened by him when he truly wants to scare the piss out of them. He also gets a little high off this, that is if he's not scared himself.
-STEALTH: When he's in the zone, it's so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

weaknesses;;
-HOMEMADE REPELLENT: Ever have those quirks parents came up with to 'keep away the monsters'? Nightlights? 'Monster spray' (which really turns out to be febreeze)? Well, he can't go into a room with it on. He's physically locked out of that area until it 'wears off'. Regular lights don't impact him. It's the parents that determine whether or not he had power somewhere.

history;;

For a monster living in a human world, Edsel hasn’t had such a bad gig. He’s lived with his parents and older brother his whole life in the alleys and abandoned buildings of the second most populated city of India, Delhi. His parents were kind and supportive, though kept him from the nearly inevitable contact with the humans residing in their hometown. To them, they were both a threat and a meal. So both Eddie and the elder brother stayed hidden throughout most of their lives and merely served to take in the food that their parents hunted… How they got it, Edsel never knew. But when he turned thirteen everything became much clearer, and from that point on the young monster’s species became the bane of his existence.

Though his brother had three years since he began his training as a bogeyman, Edsel was just about to begin getting his own food. So when his father took him out late one night for his first hunt he was more than excited. That thrill however was soon turned into a mixture of disgust and horror, as he watched in terror as his father transformed into something fearsome to take down a small four year old as prey for the both of them. Not only that, but they way he changed his body? It was… Awful. And no matter the hugs and assurances that he was still who he was that dawn they got home Eddie never fully trusted his surroundings again. From that point on he wanted to change himself, distancing from his family to become something more human and sane. He truly didn’t know how to be that frightening and why it was necessary to scare both his prey and himself out of their wits to get dinner on the table. But the more he became ‘human’ the less he was able to perform his duties as a monster. This all backfired just a few months after his 21st birthday, when a begging insistence from his father to accompany him on a hunt to a hospital went south.

As he had adopted a diet uncharacteristic of his species and frowned upon his rightful actions tensions were already tough between the once close father-and-son. The ignorance he approached this one last hunt ultimately served as a guilty reminder of how foolishly he had acted for all these years in the environment he had been rebelling against. When he had his backed turned and was heading home after a particularly bad fight in the victim’s room, he heard a roar from his former source. He ran back only to find his father pinned on the ground with a syringe in his back, filled with a vaccine for a human’s disease long since conquered. But for a monster this spelled out certain doom as the illness spread through his body and sent him on a slow decline. His father was dying painfully slow, and it was all his fault.

Upon a lucky chance did Edsel find a hope in saving his beloved old man. Upon stalking the nighttime streets of his hometown did he find a dingy old flier for a school somewhere far away in the middle of the ocean. Sneaking around human resources Edsel did the best he could to try to get into a school that promised him sanctum from judgment. He needed this education to get a job there in order to pay for medicine for his dying father, thus correcting the mistakes that haunt him every night. After giving himself a name and information he was accepted, and right away did he get to business. He was already caught up in schooling and went straight into a medical field to learn as much as he could. Time was running out.
