Sexual Orientation: Gay
Species: Vampire
Physical Description: Edward is average height with an athletic build. He wears suits like they wore in the 1940's and 50's complete with the thin tie and fedora hat. He chain smokes our of habit and because he knows it cant kill him. His skin is pale and since his eyes were dark blue as a human, they have turned to an icyer form of the same color. That is unless he is in what he calls reversion. He has a tattoo of a dragon on his back, tribal designs on each shoulder and upper arm, two guns on his abdomen that disappear under his wasteline and a teddy bear on his ass (we wont talk about that night...it would help if he remembered it).
Attitude: Edward is quiet and reserved. He is always thinking and deep in thought. He can often be heard counting his steps from one place to another because he has serious OCD. He cannot stand anything to be out of place or dirty. He cannot stand to be dirty himself. His handwriting it perfect, almost as if its been typed instead of printed. He is very meticulous and shy.
Abilities: Edward is a scientist who has secretly been looking for a ‘cure’ for vampirism. He has found a formula that when linked to the DNA of the user, can turn a vampire human for a short time. He has only created the serum for himself because the last vampire he tried it on exploded. It only works for 8 hours and if he uses it more than once in a 48 hour period, he will be miserably sick for the entire 8 hours.
History: Born at the dawn of medical advancement to a college professor and a nurse, no one was surprised when Edward became a doctor. He was intrigued by medical research and knew he could find a cure for many illnesses that plagued mankind from the dawn of time. That is until one night, a man came into his morgue with a wooden stake in his chest. "Why didn't them remove this?" he complained. He took a hold of the stake to pull it out but then looked into the face of the man. He was beautiful. Edward leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry," he whispered, "This may hurt a little." he didn't know why he said it because the man was obviously dead, but he somehow could not help himself. As he pulled out the stake, a sharp wooden shard drove into his hand, causing it to bleed profusely. He reached across the corpse for a towel and blood dripped down onto the mans mouth. He quickly tried to wipe it away with the towel but his hand was dripping blood all over him and it did him not good. "Dammit!" he cursed and just held the towel on his cut. He could clean it up later. Or so he thought.
Suddenly the man took a deep, sharp breath and grasped Edwards arm with more grip than any live man should have, much less dead. He sat up and shoved Edward across the room. He fell over a surgical tray and felt his head crack hard on a sink. He looked up at the man with confused eyes as he scrambled off the table and across the room to Edward. "Are you the one who saved me?" he asked, "You took out the stake?"
Edward nodded as his head swam and his vision blurred.
The man touched the back of his head and pulled it away bloody just as Edward coughed and spit up blood. Something had stabbed him in the back.
"I'm so sorry." the man said, "I can fix this." he sounded remorseful and frantic. "Do you want to live? Do you want me to fix you?" he pleaded.
Edward nodded. Then to Edwards surprise, the man bit him on his neck. He heard him gulping and felt him sucking. Soon, Edward blacked out. When he woke up, he found himself in a dark, cold cramped space in someones arms. At first he began to panic but the person with him shushed him and assured him that he was ok. They climbed out of the corpse cabinet and Edward was intoduced to his maker. After sincere apologies he was informed that he was now a vampire. He found his maker some clothing and was then lead to a group of vampires who were known only as the scientists.
Edward took some time to get used to the fact that he was a vampire but he was thrilled at his new found resources and unlimited grants for medical research. When the apocalypse happened he was safe with the scientists. When New Vegas was founded he was transferred to the lab there. It never sat well with him that he was a vampire and wished to be human again so his secret research began to find a cure for what he sees as an affliction. He has made much progress but he has much more work to do.
