history_Music came to Ed for the first time in the form of piano lessons. Like any normal child, he hated his weekly lesson with a passion. His teacher was some old coot who only cared about how straight he could make his back and if he had a "bubble" under his hands. The sheet music she put in from of him made him feel like he needed to wear a powdered wig and the places he performed made him feel like dressing in black was the only appropriate way to mourn his loss of brain cells. It wasn't until he was ten that his mother finally let him dismiss the crazy witch and he began to teach himself.

He wrote his first song at age thirteen. It was a mellow alternative piece that was actually written to his first love (imagine that). Unfortunately, music wasn't the way to woo that particular girl. She was offended by his "girlie voice" and never spoke to him again. Although he was devastated, he continued his practice of music. There was never a dull moment when he was playing his piano.

Last month was the first he had heard of Versailles Arts College. After some complications with hsi family, they told him 'choose a school and get out of our house'. Although he would only be juststarting his uni life at Versailles, he knew that was where he wanted to be.

general character traits

[/b]_Picture yourself stranded in the middle of no where with a broken down car and a cell phone. Who do you call? Ed, that's who. He will drop anything and everything to help someone out. He is kind hearted and down to earth, Music is his passion and though he isn't the best writer, with a lyricist his music would be perfect. He is polite and not overly outgoing though he doesn't hesitate to talk to someone. He is really just an average guy with a huge sense of responsibility towards people.

When it comes to romance, though, he is a completely different person. That's not to say he has lacked a girlfriend or two but he gets awkward around girls after whathappened with his first love and he hesitates to perform for them or write songs that are just for them.

The only catch is that people never know all these great things about him. Not because he doesn't show it but because he never talks about it. He is modest as hell and doesn't like taking credit for things even if they are great. For Ed, it is just easier to let people ignore his greatness or enjoy it in silence than to praise him for his hard work. When people do praise him, he gets fidgety and strange and can't help but turn all sorts of shades of red.
