Name *** Edward Flynn Nicknames*** Eddie Position in School***Sophomore Stargate Psychic Age*** 16 Birthday*** May 20 Height*** 5’6” Weight*** 115
Marks*** Eddie has a column of stars tattooed in blue down his spine, a large one at the top and others, getting progressively smaller, all the way to the small of his back.
Appearance*** Eddie is pretty, very pretty for a boy, so pretty he should have probably been born a girl. With a heart shaped face, large green almond shaped eyes and a cupid’s bow mouth which is almost always smiling, his face is framed with a wild mane of impossibly curly blond hair he keeps long, halfway down his back. Hours spent outside in the sun has left his skin an even golden tone. As far as fashion is concerned, Edward has been known to experiment with clothes not meant for his gender such as girly tops and Capri pants. He likes jewelry from rings to bracelets and necklaces and almost always wears make up.
Psychic Ability*** Telekinesis
Expanded abilities*** Eddie specializes in moving liquid objects over the more traditional solid ones. He is currently training in the Stargate project to control the flow of a person’s blood within their body through the power of his mind.
Limitations*** His work is extremely difficult and so far Eddie has only been able to redirect the blood of people who openly and readily volunteer for his practice. Since Telekinesis requires concentration, Eddie really has to put forth a lot of effort to be successful as he is easily distracted.
Personality*** Edward, or Eddie as he prefers to be called, is one of those obnoxiously chipper people who always remain optimistic despite the gravest of circumstances and dots all their I's with hearts. He insists that maintaining an upbeat, friendly attitude will make not only your life easier to get through but will generally make you more likeable to the people you encounter along the way. Because he always smiles and laughs (giggles really) and generally frolics through life, he often gives the impression of being an air head or not nearly as clever or worldly as some of his peers. And who knows, they may be right because he certainly isn't breaking any records in his academics or athletics.
He is a veritable social butterfly. He loves to chat, go to parties, and meet as many people as humanely possible. He is extremely outgoing and so adept at dealing with other people it’s amazing he isn’t an empath. Given his girly appearance, he is used to being teased by his peers on occasion although the mockery severely decreased as his control over his ability has increased. Even still, he takes everything in good fun, even mean and hurtful jibe. Eddie enjoys all things cute and cuddly to pretty and sparkly--from flowers to stuffed animals to real animals to candies and it's extremely easy to gain his affection. It's a rare occurrence for Eddie to not like someone.
Even if they are outwardly cruel, he believes in the humanity of man kind and is pretty easily taken advantage of. He has a difficult time distinguishing between actual kindness and abuse, especially if said abuse is surrounded by rewards and niceties. Once he really latches onto someone, he’s as loyal as a dog and trusts them to a fault to the point where it can be pretty difficult to get rid of him.
Strengths*** Eddie is pretty good as far as telekinetics go and seems to have a better harness on his ability when he puts his mind to it than most of his peers and even a few of the upperclassmen. His loyalty and upbeat personality could be considered a strength as they seem to have opened a great many doors for him over the years.
Weaknesses*** Concentrating is something Eddie really has difficulty doing, as well as studying and really buckling down when it comes to getting things done. He procrastinates and is easily distracted from tasks at hand. He isn’t always reliable either, especially if it’s a nice and sunny day outside.
Likes*** baby animals, cute things, pop music, shopping, magazines, going to movies, having parties, sun bathing, swimming, candy, roller skating, sex, going on dates, having crushes, drugs, alcohol, dancing, flowers, lightening bugs, outer space, fantasy books, aliens, make believe, picnics, romance, secrets.
Dislikes*** being indoors, winter, being made fun of, having to sit still, wasps and bees, cruelty towards animals, being scolded, green vegetables, the smell of dirt.
History*** Eddie Flynn never knew his father. His mother, on the other hand, was an all too familiar and strong influence in his life. Together, the two grew up in condo beach side in Miami. In primary and early in intermediate school, Eddie was the quiet type who didn't have too many friends and was often picked on by the other boys for being so skinny and a little girly. Most of his time was spent by himself, in the world of his own mind, nose deep in fantasy or science fiction books. He was fascinated by astronomy, the stars, planets, and would often draw very elaborate maps of the constellations or fabricated fantasy worlds teeny-tiny over sheets and sheets of paper.
His mother, from what he could tell, had no real source of income. She would have all sorts of men over all the time and would lounge around in her underwear eating candy in between visits from her guests. When she wasn't entertaining, she could be found abusing drugs or throwing fits, cursing violently and breaking things, screaming at no one Eddie could ever see. He was pretty good at taking care of her, often making trips into town with money to bring back dinner from the nearest fast food chain, doing the dishes and her laundry.
His ability as a telekinetic didn’t present itself in any one large grandiose event, it was just something he was always able to do on a small level. The salt shaker would jump into his hand from a few inches away when he reached for it or he turned the pages of his books without really having to touch them. He wasn’t entirely sure how they found out but one day, Eddie was pulled from school by some very frightening men in suits and he was taken away from his family and life and placed in a strange institution in New Hampshire. He was kept for a long time in a building that didn’t seem to have any exterior windows and was illuminated with artificial lights.
It was there where he met other people, people his age, who could do the same kinds of things that he could do. The men in charge took care of them, fed them, educated them, and most importantly helped them to expand and control their special abilities. Under their strict but constant tutelage, Eddie watched as his powers expanded ten fold in a matter of a few short years. He didn’t mind that he never saw his mother again or the peers from his public school. Here he had real friends and as he continued to prove successful in his work, he received honest praise and admiration from his care takers. When he learned the project was called “Stargate” he only came to love it even more.
When he was finally deemed ready by the head of the Stargate program, Eddie was enrolled in the nearby school The Zener Institute for the Mind along with a small contingency of other teenagers and ordered to infiltrate the school
