[color=f7941d][b]Appearance[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Thanks to his mother's foreign blood, he has light blonde hair and green eyes. He typically carries himself with some form of confidence and tends to sit up straight when in the company of others, but unconsciously slouches when he becomes relaxed. When at work, he would often be seen wearing a formal suit and tie as per the rules. He doesn't seem to be uncomfortable in the clothing so he's still able to carry himself well. In casual days, however, he would often be seen wearing a plain top and pants, obviously bought at the cheapest store possible. His wristwatch is rather old and beaten up, but he doesn't seem to mind. [/color]

[color=f7941d][b]Height[/b][/color]
[color=gray]5'10[/color]

[color=f7941d][b]Personality[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Edward is a rather kind person, a great asset to him because he mainly works with other people. Friend and respectful, there are little things that would make someone hate him at first glance. He's a hardworking person and would rather keel over than give up on a project that he's been working [i]months[/i] on. While this may be viewed as a great thing, it may be taken too far. He just doesn't want to think of something as hopeless and this may cause him to foolishly keep on working on something that is practically dead. When he sets his mind on something, it takes a whole lot of convincing to get him off it. In fact, he forgets to do anything else once he's doing something he's passionate about, resulting in him getting hungry or sleepy.

There is little doubt that he can act professional as he has shown this at multiple occasions. He can and will admit his mistakes if he had made them and would strive to not make them again. However, he isn't above the snarky comments or the playful banter with those he is close to - even those he works with, so long as they are all friends and it is clear that it's made in good fun. He's shown to adapt to a lot of settings - speaking kindly to those younger and speaking formally to those who are higher up on the social ladder. [/color]

[color=f7941d][b]Music Industry Role[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Producer[/color]

[color=f7941d][b]Specified Job Details (Name varies depending on career choice)[/b][/color]
[color=gray]He mostly dabbles in keeping everything within budget. He manages schedules for performances and dealing with other companies to put his team in commercials to increase their popularity. He has some knowledge when it comes to sound management as he had experience with it, but he's more confident in his skills with organizing and planning.[/color]

[color=f7941d][b]Relative Experience[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Edward worked in a recording studio before for four years. After that, in a small producing company before who rarely got any calls because of its near to non-existent reputation. While he only managed one group in that production firm, he spent his entire time working on them to get them in the spotlight. Who knows, if it was a miracle or just simply dumb luck, but people began to take notice of the group and they went on to be successful and the group gave him their thanks - mentioning how he wouldn't give up on them. This was what put attention on him. After the production firm closed down (which was only weeks after the group went independent), he was approached by one of Arthur's men.[/color]

[color=f7941d][b]Biography[/b][/color]
[color=gray]Edward was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. He isn't sure how his parents met each other but he assumed that his mother had come to Japan for a business trip and kept on returning because of his father. He could say that he had a rather good childhood; while his parents were rarely there on the weekdays, they tried their best to make time for the siblings. They raised him well and didn't put as much unrealistic expectation on him as the others. This caused him to excel in his grades since he did everything on his own accord - never forced into doing anything. He grew up responsible because he was taught to be one. He never led the privileged life as his mother lost her job soon after marrying his father and they were barely hanging while supporting Edward's education, and soon came his younger sister, Lily. 

There were a lot of things that he could've been sad about. He got his hands on a cellphone when he was in the second year of highschool. He couldn't go to arcades since that would be a waste of money. He rarely got to eat in good restaurants. He had to take care of his little sister when his parents had to go to work so he could never stay out too late and hang out with friends. Instead of being angry about it, he was proud of his childhood. He was supposed to finish a course in Medical Technology when it all changed thanks to an accident.

His parents had been going home from work when they got into a freak accident which caused both to die on the spot. This left Edward and Lily orphaned, with the former only being nineteen years old. Afraid of losing his sister as well, as he had no job, he dropped out of college to support both her and himself. Lily offered to drop out of school as well but Edward adamantly refused. He got a job in a recording studio as a cashier. After listening and learning from afar, he was given the chance to apply as part of the recording staff. He picked up on the skills quickly, but he was very clumsy at first. He stayed in this job for four years before he was scouted by a production firm to be a producer, even without a degree on it. This was where his talent really shone - while his editing skills were average, his skill at organizing and planning truly put him above the rest. 

Because of this job, he has been able to support his sister's education but barely scraping by himself. Lily had know entered a part-time job to help alleviate the workload. Edward is forever thankful to his sister because of this. The production firm only got one successful group out before ultimately falling into bankruptcy. Fortunately for Edward, he was given another chance in The Daywing District. Seeing no other option for him, he decided to take up the offer and see how it goes. He has recently come into contact with the McLain family, his mother's family in England. There has been no specific talks yet, but he seems to not focus on it yet. [/color]
