PERSONALITY

Eddie has a very gentle, patient and malleable nature. He has many generous qualities and is friendly, good natured, kind and compassionate, sensitive to the feelings of those around him, and responds with the utmost sympathy and tact to any suffering others encounter. He is frequently deservingly popular with all kinds of people, partly because his is completely easygoing, affectionate, and submissive in nature which offers no threat or challenge to stronger and more exuberant characters. He is easy to accept the people around him and their circumstances in which he finds himself in, rather than trying to adapt them to suit himself. He may be patient but doesn't wait for problems around him to sort themselves out, he'd rather than take the initiative in solving them. He is usually more readily concerned with the problems of others than with their own.

His nature sometimes tends to be too otherworldly for the practical purposes of living in this world as it is. He sometimes exist emotionally rather than rationally, instinctively more than intellectually (depending on his current mood). He sometimes longs to be recognized as greatly creative. Eddie also doesn't mind disciple and confinement, since he's fairly a fan of the great indoors any-ways. The nine-to-five life is fine for him. He's quite happy to just accept things as they are to keep the peace.

Eddie frequently tends to withdraw into a dream world where his qualities can bring mental satisfaction and sometimes, fame and financial reward for he is extremely gifted artistically. Eddie is also versatile and intuitive, has quick understanding, observe and listen well, and is receptive to new ideas and atmospheres. All these factors can combine to produce remarkable creativity in literature, music and art, of which he considers all to be favourites

It comes as no surprise that Eddie has a remarkable sense of humour, in which he often uses to woo others and invite them to warm toward him. His comical references and witty, random banter enable him the ability to comfort any situation, no matter how big or serious it is. He had a kind heart and uses this to keep others calm and comfortable.

Eddie is never egotistical in his personal relationships and gives more than he ask from his friends. He is a loyal bunny, often choosing a group of friends or one specific person, Eddie will stick by them through thick and thin. Unfortunately, being so openly friendly and kind can come with the risk of being hurt. Eddie gives a lot to those around him and rarely, if ever asks for anything in return...which in effect somewhat brands him a 'doormat'. This is often simply assumed because of his kind nature, unfortunately for anyone who thinks they can take advantage of Eddie because of this, is in for a rude awakening. Eddie doesn't take crap from anyone and regardless of the fact he hates arguing, he won't be treated like dirt or bite his tongue to prevent confrontation. If Eddie sees it necessary to cause a stir, he will and the chances of him backing down once starting are slim.

However, despite being extremely kind and giving, Eddie does have a mean striek. He isn't quick to anger, and you can go about your day making him absolutely miserable and he'll deal with it, but if you hurt the people who are important to him...revenge is something that he won't have to think about twice. He'd not a fan of loss and doesn't like watching those he holds dear to him suffer.

APPEARANCE

Eddie stands at about 5?11 (5 feet, 11 inches) give or take a few inches, but roughly around the 6'0 mark and weighs around 180lbs. He's not considered athletically built, and if anything seems to be amongst the more skinnier of body types. He isn't ripped with muscles and has never stepped near a pair of weights, but he does hold some muscle definition..primarily in his arms and upper body area.

Eddie cares very little toward the idea of a perfect six pack and bulging forearms, he doesn't have the time to dedicate all of that to fitness and if anything deems it a waste of time if it's not necessary to ones career choice. People change, they get old, they sag and they get fat....what's the point in spending your younger years counting calories and putting strenuous, countless hours on fitness when you could be enjoying life? He doesn't get it.

Forge is Japanese American, his mother being from Honshu, Japan. Being of mixed race means that Eddie isn't always noticed as being of Asian heritage, however he does still have some subtle features. He has deep brown, almost black eyes which are rather small and narrow in shape, typically displaying singular eyelids which is common in Asian features along with a more rounded, less defined face shape and a somewhat flat shaped nose.

Eddie has almost jet black hair, styled short back and sides but a little longer on top. However, Eddie has also been known to grow his hair out but finds that a shorter style is far more practical. He has a fairly pale complexion, due to that he spends most of his days behind a computer screen or with his head buried inside some mechanical device. He's not shy of the sun, but doesn't go out often enough to enjoy it and because of that when he does he burns pretty quickly.

To be honest, Eddie would look like your average guy had it not been for the few distinguishing and unmistakable features that he has. First of all, Eddie absolutely loves tattoos. Eddie has a few tattoos that he's gotten over the years, on his back, his chest and legs but his most noticeable ones are the two Japanese themed, full sleeves he has on both of his arms.

The other thing that stands out about Eddie is his ears, not because they kind of stick out but because both ear lobes are stretched by plug gauges. Eddie has 22mm plug gauges inserted in both earlobes, which when taken out leave pretty large, perfectly circular holes in the skin. It's kind of gross, not for the faint hearted more so when Eddie decides to play about with them displaying just how big they are.

When it comes to style, Eddie likes to be comfortable in his clothing, thus you won't find him wearing suits on a daily basis if not given a good enough reason to. No, Eddie likes his baggy jeans, loose fitting cargo's, plaid shirts, sleeveless tees and lace up military boots. Most of his clothing is of dark or neutral colours just because he prefers it that way. He's not a fashion guru, couldn't care for the latest trend and would rather be comfortable.

INTUITIVE MECHANICAL VISION

Eddie posesses the ability of Intuitive Mechanical Vision. Just by looking at anything with moving parts, he can discern what makes it tick and how he can replicate it. With a pen and a pad of paper, he could write out blueprints and notes of any kind of machine or device in minutes. His background and training in the engineering field also give him the skills to replicate anything he can think of. A hunk of scrap metal can easily become a firearm if he were given the right fabrication tools. A motherboard and old computer parts can become a computer capable of internet access. Naturally, the better materials and tools he has access to will yield better final products.

HISTORY

Edgar Forge was born on September 30th, 1986 in Orlando, Florida to parents, Kumiko Azama, a Japanese seamstress and Allen Forge , an American Architect.

From a young age Eddie always had an interest in Technology and Mechanics. As a child he would often be found taking things apart, analysing and figuring out the ins and outs of a design. He was always fascinated by the way in which things worked, living and mechanical. For sometime Eddie's father believed that he may have become a doctor, or some kind of worker in the medical profession but his heart really wasn't in it.

Eddie seemed to favour the world of mechanics and machines, there was nothing more satisfying to Eddie then taking an old heap of scrap metal or a bust up computer and figuring out the cause of the breakage and finding ways to fix them. He spent a lot of his younger years studying hard and working a technology store on the weekends, for such a young age he had a clear interest in Engineering and Mechanics and was rarely faced with a problem he couldn't fix.

When Eddie was 15 years old, he realised that his passion and desire to learn was much broader then those of other kids his age. He found himself almost obsessive and thirsty for the know how. His father had noticed how Eddie seemed to spend all of his time consumed on learning the ins and outs of bits of things he'd find, scrap objects, things he'd find laying about and for a while his room looked like a dumpster. Eddie would bring home various objects from god knows where and would take them apart and sit there toying with them for days on end before putting the back together again in the state he had found them or even better.

His father wasn't concerned but quizzical when Eddies 'obsession' with scrap begun to hinder his work ethic. It turned out Eddie had an ability, and this was the reason behind his strange behaviour. Eddie had an ability that gave him the capabilities to understand the ins and outs of devices, often on levels that only the creator would have knowledge of. With knowing this, Eddies father was able to aid him in the right direction where Eddie began dabbling in the engineering business.

He excelled in his studies, completely knocked everyone else off the chart with his grades and achievements, he was really going places. For some time Eddie had a job in the military helping design, create and perfect new and advanced weaponry. He liked working for them, but he always found himself wanting more, wanting more control over his own work rather then taking instructions. Eddie's head was always full of ideas and it discouraged him that most of these ideas could not be worth anything more then a set of blueprints on paper.

That was until he was faced with the perfect chance to shine, a job in which he'd be able to take full control of his own projects and let his creativeness flourish.
