Edward Darren Arther Everest Gouldington

25

Bisexual

6'4 feet/1.95 meters

History

Born to Eric Gouldington and Emilia Torres, along with Vicktrina "Vicki" Gouldington, on Oct. 25, at Princess Royal Maternity Hospital, Glasgow, Scotland. He also had an older brother named Jakob at the time he was born.
His father was quite emotionally abusive, throwing passive aggressive insults towards him constantly, mostly about his weight. If Edward ate "too much", his father would force him to throw up. Despite being a chubby kid, he was constantly underweight. He'd almost developed an eating disorder at twelve, but with the support of Tom, he was able to overcome it. Though, he did develop emetophobia, the intense fear of vomiting.
Through his teen years, he was quite awkward, though well liked by most of his schoolmates due to his friendly disposition and well-meaning attitude. He had (and still has) a kind smile that made people think everything was alright. Of course, this was just in school. He was quite a trouble maker in private. His father died from congestive heart failure when he was 14, so he was in a much better place emotionally from then on. His grandma bought him a house when he was seventeen, and told him it'd be waiting for him when he got out of college. Lo and behold, he'd arrived at the address she gave him, and there it was. A four-bedroom flat, all for him... and the three bastards that he loved so much.

Future

He starts out as the Blue Rebellion leader's right hand man. Eventually, when the Blue Rebellion and the Red Army sign a treaty stating that the two armies are to combine, he holds a multitude of occupations: the head poster artist, the head of the time travel department (also known as T.I.N, "Time is Null"), and a member of the animal care department. He loses his lower right leg, and it's replaced with a prosthetic similar to Tord's arm— however, the base colour is green instead of red.

Trivia

Before he gained his powers, his eyes were a deep chocolate brown, like his hair. After gaining powers, they're a brighter brown with flecks of neon green, the size of which fluctuate when feeling intense emotion.

Speaking of his powers, they never really left, they just went dormant to protect his body. When he unlocks his powers again, his body is strong enough to use them continuously for several days.

Ringo was on the roof with him when he got his powers. She didn't think she had powers either, until about ten years later when she realised she hadn't... y'know... died yet. Turns out, the nuclear energy prolonged her life, boosted her strength, and gave her the intelligence of an adult human being. This isn't an Edd fact but whatever.

He also has another cat named Tequila. She lives with his mother.

Matthew William Harvey Hardgrove

24

Pansexual

6'0 feet/1.82 meters

History

Born to Herman and Martha Hardgrove on August 16, and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, England. He was an only child.
Growing up, he was spoiled rotten. He got everything he wanted, being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was a very modest boy, however, and insisted on going to public school when he'd reached middle school. There, he met two boys named Edd and Tom, who would become his very best friends, and some of the only friends he'd every have; everyone else would only see him as a snobby rich boy— until Tord came along, that is.
As a teen, he developed a bit more of an ego. Though he was still considerate of others and their feelings, he began to prioritise himself more. He developed an obsession with his looks, sparked by his need to be perfect instilled upon him by his parents. He was a grade A people pleaser, he needed to be perfect, or his world would crumble around him. As a result, he developed slight autophobia— in this case, a fear of being alone for too long.
