CC: Edricby ~ShimminyCricket

For the group :

_{Name: Edric Blakemore

Nickname(s): Ed, Rick

Alias(es): Blake

Height: 6' 2"

Weight: 143 lbs.

Personality:

Charming - He can talk just about anyone up, and doesn't mind doing so. If you give him some time though, he can go silent around people, but this only means he's comfortable with that person.

Alcoholic - If you offer it to him, the chances to him turning it down are about equal to that of him going a day without a drink.

Health Conscious - An active runner and sprinter, Edric always tries to keep his body in the best shape it can be, though that is quite a challenge considering he drinks away a percentage of his life everyday.

Polite - Practically born in private schools, Edric has had etiquette and the ideas of chivalry pounded into him, so much so that if he gets tired of hearing something over and over again, his happy mask disappears.

Not Very Assertive - Ed never takes the initiative. He always expects someone else to do something so that he can follow. This may be out of laziness or if he just genuinely never cares.

Likes:
- Alcohol
- Running
- Dogs
- Parties
- Meeting New People
- Women (ohohohoho~)

Dislikes:
- Not being allowed to drink
- Laborious work
- Going home
- Hungover Mornings

Hobbies:
Running - Before Edric came to La Perla Rossa, when he still lived in England, he was an active long distance runner. He still is though, and can often times be found jogging in the early mornings around the island.

Drinking Games - Ask him. He has a ridiculously large collection of various drinking games memorized.

Engineering Major - Edric was an Engineering major at Cambridge before La Perla Rossa, though he wasn't a very motivated student. He was doing only the bare minimum, as well as mooching off his colleagues.

Preferred Weapon: Heavy Objects - Wrenches, pipes, planks, etc.,

Strengths:

A British Accent - Really, who can resist that?

Fit - Because of his background, Edric is incredibly fit. He can run away for long distances, and he is exceptionally good at climbing.

...There's not much else...

Weaknesses:
Alcohol - He is completely incapable of refusing a drink offered to him. If you ever want to get back at him, spike his drink or something. Point is, he's a heavy...heavy alcoholic...

Unmotivated - If you want to get him to do something, there's really a little chance he'd actually do it. He either does it with little to no effort put in or doesn't do it at all.

Biography/History: Born in London, England, Edric's parents were devout Christians. They wanted him to go through with priesthood and study theology. Edric, though, had plans of his own. Since he was young, all he wanted to do was disobey his parents, just out of spite. He was always talking back to them and never did what they asked him too. This behaviour led them to send him away to a private military school.

The military school was actually an improvement. He didn't have to see his parents and they couldn't crush him with their Christian principles, though, he still had problems with authority. The instructors there would always be the same, yelling at him and telling him to do things in a manner that annoyed him. This only groomed his hatred for authority. The years there were hard on him, though he found an outlet for his general anger at the world in running. This is the reason why Ed's so fond of running and jogging.

When he graduated from the military school, and had to choose which college to go to and what to major in, Edric's parents urged him to study religion like they wanted. Being a complete prat, he did the exact opposite and went into engineering. Of course, this didn't mean he was actually going to dedicate himself to the subject.

He spent many many nights out and about drinking and partying whilst completely ignoring his studies. One of his mates actually dragged him away from Cambridge to join in on the riots in London at one point, which in turn led to the both of them being pretty roughed up.

Edric's lifestyle of partying and drinking led him too far, finally. At first it was only a temporary trip to France with his buddies, though...something went wrong...And Edric woke up with a hangover in La Perla Rossa. He loved the place, despite the mind crushing headache and puking.
Since then, he has yet to leave and has in fact been reported missing from Cambridge since.

How they came to “La Perla Rossa”: Well...It started off with a mug of ale...progressed to a few shots of vodka...a bottle of gin...and ended with most of a bottle of Everclear. He woke up here, and hasn't felt the urge to go back since.

Quote:
"Another shot here!"
"What you mean it's too early for scotch?!"

Additional Info:
He had a dog that he quite liked in Cambridge, though he doesn't know what's happened to it. Ed's in the market for a dog, though. The apartment gets quite lonely.

His faction pin thingy will be on the cuffs of his sleeves or on the breast of his vest.}
