About: History/personality

Ed grew up in a small city in the States, with one brother and a stay-at-home mom but busy dad. Ever since he was little he loved playing soccer and working out, so he would work on his skills whenever he had the chance. When he was 17 he joined up with the National Guard in his state and went through his Basic and advanced military training, it taught him a lot. He was always into gaming so when VR gaming first came out he dove in head first. When he heard about SAO he didn't focus on anything else. He tried as hard as he could to get into the beta but didn't make it. When that didn't happen he bent all of his willpower into getting one of the few hard copies that was being released. When it finally arrived he skipped school that day, locked his door and put the VR gear on and said "Link start!" His last though before leaving reality was about how awesome this was going to be. Little did he know that this awesome game was going to turn into so much more than a game.

Ed is muscular but not huge, and pretty lean from all of his soccer playing. He has shoulder length blonde hair and a darker goatee, and he has blue eyes. He tries not to take anything too seriously, but when he gets his mind set on something he gets pretty intense. His military training helps him to get by in SAO, but he doesn't take it too seriously, he doesn't act like a military guy in the game.

Virtues:

Loyalty. Edwyn doesn't have friends from the real world with him in SAO so he doesn't have anyone to meet up with in SAO, however he is fiercely loyal to his friends and family. He would risk his own life to keep his friends and family out of danger.

Honesty. Ed always keeps his word, even when he promises little things, and he tries to always tell people the truth, even if it's sometimes what they don't want to hear.

Quick Thinking. Thanks to his military training he is able to think clearly under pressure and make in the face of danger, despite this he doesn't want to lead a guild or command an army or anything.

Courage. Because of his military training Ed is able to operate under pressure and still think clearly, and when any of his friends are in danger he does whatever he can to save them, even if it means putting himself in harms way to help them.

Flaws:

Reference: http://www.darkworldrpg.com/lore/flaws.html

Pride. Sometimes Ed can get overconfident whenever he is doing too well at a game, or battle or anything. It was one of his failings when he was playing soccer in the real world too.

Stubborn. He can be pig-headed sometimes, especially in battle, it's hard for Ed to admit defeat and even harder for him to admit that he needs to retreat.

Blunt . While Ed is very honest, sometimes this is not a good thing, he doesn't always try to avoid saying the "hard stuff," sometimes people see his directness as being impolite and it has gotten him in trouble with more than one person in the past.

Single-minded. Whenever something attracts Ed's attention or peeks his interest, he pursues it with intensity until he is satisfied. This can force him into difficult situations when he tries to take on more than he can handle.

Story Thus Far

Edwyn arrived in SAO ready to have some fun and start a life in a world full of adventure and potential, little did he know how permanent the new life would become. When he first discovered that SAO had become much more than a game, he was shocked and a little scared, but after he thought about the life and adventures that were now available to him, he realized that SAO could become a good home. He resolved that he would do whatever he could to make the players he ran into feel more at home and feel better about their new lives in SAO, but he would also do everything he could to become powerful enough to join the Assault Team and help to clear the game on the front lines. Since the beginning of the game Ed has been training and finding out what his specific skill sets are, but he's also met some cool people, made some friends and even joined a guild. Recently Ed became the lieutenant of the Mystic Swords guild, while newly formed, the guild shows great potential.
