FRIENDS
A loner and a rather grumpy individual, Edwin doesn't make friends easily. He has a few acquaintances in the Black Market due to doing some odd jobs for them when he needs the money, but nobody he could really call a friend. If you can provide him with coffee, that will put you at least one step above everybody else. If you can beat him at video games, he may be grumpy at you for a bit but you'll earn his respect. Sharing an interest in technology helps, though with cyborgs he can get a bit distracted focusing on the tech than the actual person.Despite his grumpiness and off-putting behavior, deep down he really does want a friend.
ENEMIES
If you take a job from Edwin, for the love of Irilys pay the man. Sure, he's not going to be able to take you in a fight, but he holds a grudge well, and there have been rumors going around of certain company staff losing their jobs due to important presentations inexplicably containing inappropriate photos involving animals...Besides that, while Edwin isn't looking to make enemies and would just as happily flee from confrontation, he can't exactly avoid it. Despite his plans to leave Felici, some of the local black market are interested in making sure he stays and twisting his hand to keep him there. At the same time, while Edwin is smart enough to not leave obvious traces of his dealings with the black market just lying around, people who plan on digging deeper down probably would find something.
LOVERS
...what?The possibility of romance isn't something Edwin's even considered. He's self-aware enough to know that he's not very good looking and certainly not the easiest of people to be around. That, and having an inferiority complex means even if you get past the grumpiness, he's still intensely shy and nervous. Anyone who for some reason wanted to consider this would have to be extremely patient.
But he's not expecting anything like this anytime soon, so...yeah.
deltra of gangnam style
Plot Ideas:
- Edwin is always looking for another paying job. Offer him one if you're having trouble with your computer! He'll be snarky but most likely it'll get fixed, and maybe even work better than before!
- Edwin needs money, and while he's trying to avoid anything outrageously illegal (if only because that makes his life harder) he's likely to at least listen if there's good money for him and preferably it's to do with computers, or at least technology.
- On this note, Edwin does have deals with the Black Market every so often, if only because they seem to have a wider range of goods, legal or...less legal...to utilise. So any RP involving Edwin in the Black Market would be interesting - though preferably with regards to less easily procurable technology as opposed to some of it's more sinister side such as drugs or slaves. Possibly he'd be looking for/willing to trade/willing to hunt for information...
- Give him coffee. Please give him coffee. If there's somewhere where he can get good coffee he wants to be there. If it's good enough much of his already meager money will be spent there (who doesn't want a snarky repeat customer? )
- Do you want to play video games? If there's one thing Edwin prides himself on it's his skill with a wide variety of video games, and even he usually gets drawn in to a game long enough to forget his usual ill manners. As noted in his app, while he can get upset at losing, he'll still at least have some honest respect for people who beat him fairly. (author's note: There's apparently a VR MMO there's? Must figure out what it's like and/or what classes it has.)
- For that matter, Edwin is always interested in tech, whether it's something he's never experienced before, a new spin on an old design, or even technology from a past era (though he's seen very little in the way of relics).
