Not a SayanName: Edward Storm
Sex: Male
Age: 21
Appearance: Edward is a tall man, measuring about 6 feet tall, give or take about half an inch, with a fairly lean build, though he is by no means skinny. He has fair skin that some would say borders on pale, due to his less than outdoorsy lifestyle. His eyes are nearly steel gray in color. His nose is longer than normal and slightly hooked. He keeps his pitch black hair, both on top of his head, as well as his beard and mustache, short and neatly trimmed, though it still remains very thick and often unruly, resulting in a few cowlicks and tangles somewhere that he just can't get out.
Personality: Edward is very much an introvert, preferring to live vicariously through the myriad superheroes of his extensive comic book collection over actual human contact. As a result, his social skills are somewhat lacking. Compounding this, Edward is also naturally shy, especially among strangers, making it difficult to meet new people, let alone make friends. All of this typically manifests itself in behavior typically associated with "the quiet reserved type."
Powers: Invulnerability - extreme resistance to physical harm
Biography: Edward was, and still is, a comic book nerd. From an early age, Edward was fascinated by superheroes, often wishing that he could be like them instead of plain, ordinary Edward. Unfortunately, in a world where there is no such thing as superheros or superpowers, that simply could not be, which Edward has come to accept. As a child, Edward wasn't the most social of people, preferring to live vicariously through the droves of superheroes he read about in his comic books to actual human contact. At home, he spent much of his time in his room with a stack of comic books by his side. At school, he hung out with the other comic book nerds and talked about comic books with them during recess and lunch, but he never really got close enough to any of them to call them friends. His introverted behavior left him severely lacking in social skills, though he performed well in any tasks that allowed him to work alone.
Edward made his way through school as well as any comic book nerd with no close friends could expect, enduring the typical teasing and bullying that occurs in school on a regular basis. He would avoid the people who liked to mess with him as much as he could, but at least once a week he would end up getting roughed up by someone. He tried not to let it get to him, but on bad days he would lock himself in his room as soon as he got home and read comic books well into the early morning hours.
When Edward turned sixteen, he applied for a job at a local comic book/baseball card/novelty shop as a way to earn some money for himself as well as to indulge in his nerdy interests at a special employee discount that was even better than his existing extreme loyalty discount. He kept this job through the remainder of high school, and after graduating he kept the job, working longer hours while taking business classes at a local community college. After a few years he transferred to a four year university to get his degree in business management, but he was able to do an online program so he could continue to work at the comic book store. He now works from the store's opening at 8:00 AM to it's closing at 7:00 PM and uses evenings and weekends to do his schoolwork.
