[b][color=Khaki]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] None. [b][color=Khaki]Personal Style:[/color][/b] On the job, cheap suits, dress shirts and ties with loafs.

Despite his rather brutish and downright scary appearance, Ed is very capable at his job and a decent people person. He treats his job seriously for the most part, and acts in a tough but fair manner. Any complaint taken to him is met with proper scrutiny, and he records all conversations to preemptively shut up any potential lawsuits. Off the clock he's friendly as can be, and prone to nerding out to anyone with the patience to listen to his opinions on comics (Hint; He thinks most of them suck ass now. We all know it.) Newcomers are treated with the same fair neutrality as his on-the-clock self until he's formed his opinion. If he approves, see above. If not, be prepared to be greeted with communications in mostly grunts and scowls. [b][color=Khaki]Habits:[/color][/b] Playing heavy metal in his office, managing a libertarian blog.

He isn't seeking anything very special or ambitious, just another decent job to pay the bills. Dunder Mifflin was the only employer hiring HR at the time, so his options were a bit limited in the field. Since then he's been a well-enough liked employee, though most of the new hires innitially shit themselves if called into his office. [b][color=Khaki]Life Up To This Point:[/color][/b] Ed's life is a simple one, a tale of brief glory and then a slow train along mediocrity and security. Born and raised in Laffeyette, Louisiana, Ed was raised in a traditional Catholic home and spent most of his life with a good, Catholic work ethic drilled into him. In his schooling, he excelled in atheltics, given his large size, and showed a talent for settling fights with his classmates. This continued on into high school, where he served on the student council in a role he doesn't quite remember, but that he remembers as basically being useless. After high school, he went to Louisiana State University on a football scholarship, where he studied sociology and psychology to find a way to make a living off of his talent for mediating other people's disputes. It was here that he fully embraced his love of comics, science fiction and other such geek stuff, and where he met his wife, Lana. He soon had two daughters with Lana; Kelly and Candice. After graduating, heset out to work and found employment for most of his career at Eastwood-Mifune Insurance, located in Pennslyvania. When Eastwood-Mifune was forced to close, Ed was eventually forced to move on to Dunder Mifflin, where he has served as HR rep for three years faithfully. He may grumble now and then about hardass bosses and a stream of increasingly less compitent employees, but he sticks around, mostly because he's too lazy to look for another job.

I've got ten different breeds of jackass in just one room."[/i][color=Khaki]}[/color] ⚜ Respects ~*~ ☯ Neutral ~*~ ☮ Friends ~*~ ♫ Best Friends ~*~ § Tense ~*~ ♥ Crush ~*~ ⚤ Significant Other ~*~ ☠ Enemies -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [/center][center] ☯[color=Gold][b]Aidan Ferguson[/b][/color] ☯ [i]"He writes my checks, doesn't screw with my workshops and only talk shit about me in private. Good enough for me."[/i] Relation Details: Ed and Aidan's relationship is strictly professional. There's a certain amount of mutual shit-talking in private, but he never lets it get in the way of work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♫[color=DodgerBlue][b]Gwen Westwood[/b][/color]♫ [i]"Sweet girl, Gwen. Reminds me of my sister. Without the weed farmer boyfriend. Just glad someone else here likes Batwoman."[/i] Relation Details: Ed has only recently approved Gwen's internship, but already he regards her as one of his favorite co-workers. He happily goes into lengthy discussions about comics with her, and is currently trying to make her a libertarian. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ☮[color=LightSeaGreen][b]Declan Farraday[/b][/color]☮ [i]"The kid's got a good head on his shoulders, but it's only a matter of time before some crybaby comes whining to me about how he's 'problematic'."[/i] Relation Details: Ed respects Declan as a worker and as an advocate for debate and free speech. It's hardly a rare occasion for Ed to invite Declan out for a drink after a hard day's work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- § [color=PaleTurquoise][b]Chris Meyer[/b][/color] § [i]"My best customer in HR. His lil' games are harmless, but pretty soon I'm gonna have to put my foot squarely up his ass if I'm gonna have to say hello to him every week."[/i] Relation Details: Ed views Chris with something between begruding friendship and contempt. While his pranks can get a chuckle now and then, he's getting tired of having to adjust the screws in his guest chair with the sheer number of visits he gets from Chris. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ☯[color=MediumAquamarine][b]Eugene Han[/b][/color]☯ [i]"She's not a very good liar. Can't speak English, my ass. She's great at her work, but she's gotta get over this whole Christmas cake bullshit."[/i] Relation Details: Eugene and Ed don't have all that much interaction, and Ed has an almost truely neutral view on her. He's tried a few times to get her out of her shell, inviting her out for drinks after work, though he's a bit annoyed at her insistence on pretending to not speak English. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚜[color=Lime][b]Nana Darling[/b][/color]⚜ [i]"I swear to God, it's like this woman just walked out of one Candice's Korean soaps. Haven't had any complaints about her yet, but you never know."[/i] Relation Details: Ed doesn't know much about Nana, having never had much reason to talk with her in an official capacity and having few co-alinging interests. He does respect her dedication to parenthood, however, being a devoted father himself, and they could end up as friends if the topic of kids was brought up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚜[color=Amethyst][b]Gerald Fischer[/b][/color]⚜ [i]"By God and Sonny Jesus, one of the nicest men that's ever lived. Everyone loves Vanilla Bear, and if I ever have to see him in my office, I will truely be amazed."[/i] Relation Details: Out of all the people in the office, Gerald is one of those whom Ed respects above all others, along with Alastair. He regards the two as living teddy bears, and refers to Gerald as Vanilla Bear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚜[color=CadetBlue][b]Alastair Abbey[/b][/color]⚜ [i]"The other nicest guy in this whole damn office, probably the whole damn state. If he drank, I'd buy Chocolate Bear a beer in a heartbeat."[/i] Relation Details: Like Gerald, Ed respects Alastair immensely for his sunny disposition and niceness. He regards the two as living teddy bears, and refers to Alastair as Chocolate Bear. (If anyone gets these references, you've my eternal props.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbol [color=???][b]Moe Williamson[/b][/color] Symbol [i]"Ass. Hole."[/i] Relation Details: Though Ed is professional enough not to talk about Moe in the office, he holds a certain amount of contempt for the man over the way he tends to treat others employees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbol [color=???][b]Temperance Venable[/b][/color] Symbol [i]"....her parents must have been high or had too academic a sense of humor."[/i] Relation Details: Ed knows almost nothing about the new blood aside from her resume, and he finds her a little squirrelly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbol [color=???][b]Rose Peters[/b][/color] Symbol [i]"Another sweet kid in the office. Maybe a little naive, but she'll do fine."[/i] Relation Details: Ed's relationship with Rose is mostly a neutral affair, though on the positive end. He discusses his family with her now and then, but little else. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbol [color=???][b]Sam Foster[/b][/color] Symbol [i]"The only other good ol' boy in this office. He's good in my book."[/i] Relation Details: Ed holds Sam in some high regard, being a fellow Southerner and a gentleman. He's gone drinking with the man now and then, but gets the feeling Sam is bottling something up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbol [color=???][b]Emily Kessler[/b][/color] Symbol [i]"Emily's a good kid, but a lil' weird. Californians."[/i] Relation Details: Ed's exposure to Emily is a bit limited, mostly water cooler talk. He likes her well enough, but finds her a bit weird now and then, marking it up to her being from San Fransisco. [/center][/Hider]
