Cooking, which he doesn't do openly as it is considered "unmanly". [color=00aeef][b]►[/b] [b]Fears[/b][/color] (In decreasing order) His lack of self-control when overtaken by anger, seeing other people suffer, unexplained phenomena, fire.

That is in part because he tends to disagree with his contemporaries' values. In addition, he has expressed a like for some Romantic values. In truth, Edmund profoundly hates Napoleon, but he struggles to shake off rumors. His exeptionally stoic attitude also some people to think he must be hiding some deep deviance, while others believe he is an inhuman soul devoid of emotions. He doesn't give a thought to those. [color=D8BFD8][b]►[/b] [b]Secrets[/b][/color] There is a certain book that he updates regularly. It seems to be just mediocre poetry at first glance, but that is because it is coded, a subtle mix of metaphors and word associations of Edmund's creation. This actually is a collection of informations on nobles which "could come in handy at some point". In practice, it is mostly anything which might prove useful politically or for negociation or blackmail.

On a good day, the range of this ability can extend up to twenty meters. It's efficacy, however, is dependant on humidity. While he can always chill anything in his range, the production of ice is dependant on either liquids or moisture in the air. As a result, his power varies greatly in threat depending on his environnement. This power changes when Edmund gives in to rage. As he loses control of himself, his Cryokinesis also goes berserk, fully losing its range in favor to pure power. In this state, he can only affect what he directly touch but the freeze is so intense it instantly causes frostbite. With prolonged contact, cells are at serious risk of dying and causing necrosis. [b][color=0076a3][u]Cold resistance:[/u][/color][/b] Whether It is a part of his ability or an adaptation to it, the fact is that Edmund is immune to the effects of the cold. His body will not be hurt by frost.

But in addition to this, he also participated in blue-coat schools as a form of charity work. He was a dedicated man and, while he was not very wealthy, he had the respect of his peers. Edmund thus had the opportunity to interact with kids of all classes through his childhood. He was a reserved and stoic child, showing more interest in learning than playing. This made it difficult to form friendships, but he found he had an easier time with working class kids than middle or upper class. These in particular were a source of problem, something which confused Edmund to no end. He believed that his sense of morals came from his education and yet the higher education often led to inflated egos and scorn towards those of "lower standing". Then one day, the inevitable happened. Was it a kid who pushed him farther than the others? Was it the accumulation of frustration over the years? Did something unrelated made him more prone to anger? If you were to ask Edmund, he couldn't honestly answer you as he only has hazy recollections of the event. But the fact is that a strange mist started to emanate from his body as the room temperature dropped. The other children ran away. It happened in the late spring, yet they found themselves covered in frost. He had awakened to his ability, and rather violently too. He had come very close from grievly injuring one of those kids, an action which would have had terrible consequences. Thanks to his parents' input, he was classified as a youth with strong potential who only needed the right direction to become a better person. This is how he ended up at St. Eustice's School. There, he strove to better himself. He saw that outburst as shameful and tried to supress the anger that boiled within himself. Of course, this only made him into a ticking time bomb, as this frozen anger was just waiting to resurface. Still, he showed to be an excellent student. He is currently working as an assistant teacher while furthering his own studies.

The truth is that he is simply isn't very expressive and tend to bottle is feelings. While it would be easy to assume he is just cold, this couldn't be further from the truth. While Edmund isn't very good at reading others, he is strongly affected by them and shows great empathy. He hardly reacts to most things said to him but can easily be affected by those same words. The most extreme aspect of this is his anger, which he contains within himself, giving Edmund this aura of perfect calm. But this only until the moment where he can't take it anymore and it explode into an uncontrollable rage. Even in this state, his face is not particularly expressive and, as he doesn't say much, this anger is mostly expressed through the violence he displays. While it would be healthier for him to learn to deal with these feelings, his past led him to choose to bottle everything instead.
