PERSONALITY

Eddie is a little bit of a disaster. He was pretty sheltered growing up and it shows - he wants to be good at talking to people, but he just generally isn't. He stumbles over his words a lot (unless he's talking about something that interests him, then good luck getting him to stop rambling) and avoids eye contact unless he absolutely has to. While it sometimes reads as shy, more than anything, he just comes across like he's still figuring out how to speak to another human being. But under the awkwardness, he's a pretty friendly, pretty steamroll-able guy. Probably hasn't stood up for himself a day in his life.

BACKGROUND / BIO

triggering / sensitive content: death tw, child loss tw & anxiety tw

Eddie was born and raised here in Merrock, to a pair of very loving but very protective parents. They'd lost their first child when he was very young, so when Eddie came around, they overcorrected a bit with him. Being homeschooled up until middle school, he grew up pretty lonely and awkward, two traits that very much carried into his adulthood. Once he finally did start attending public school, and later on college, he continued to primarily keep to himself, buried in schoolwork or whatever extra curriculars he could get into. It was just easier than talking to anybody new.

That continued even as he got older, eventually graduating from the local community college with a computer science degree and getting a job at the library in town, which sort of felt like a dream come true for him. Working behind a screen in a place where it was basically frowned upon to talk to other people? Perfect. With a relatively steady income, he moved out of his parents' place when he was twenty-three, something they were both very much protested the entire way. Even with a very small selection of friends, it was still embarrassing to be a grown adult with a curfew.

Since then, he's done a little better for himself - really, really a little. He's started going out a little bit more, when his social anxiety allows, and he found a relatively comfortable friend group. They mainly interact as fictional characters in DnD, but hey, it was better than he was doing a few years ago. He can even maintain eye contact with baristas now (sometimes)!
