AGE AND BIRTHDATE -- 20, August 8th

ABILITY LIMITS – Eddie isn’t really sure of her limits mostly because, as it is now, she doesn’t really know she has an ability at all. She just knows that she’s really good and knowing how things work and fixing them without really knowing what she’s doing. Maybe once she realizes that she actually has an ability, she’ll realize the full potential of knowing how something works simply by giving it a short examination and maybe even learn how to change her own body chemistry by knowing how her body works and focusing on making certain chemical processed more efficient and all that... or she could become a serial killer who examines people’s brains for powers, but it’s largely up in the air at the moment.

BIGGEST SECRET OR REGRET -- Eddie wishes she’d gone to India first. The country is looking a lot more fun now.
GREATEST AMBITION -- Eddie would like to travel the world.
DEFINING QUALITY -- Eddie doesn’t put up with other people’s crap. She sticks to the facts—or what she knows of them, which is a lot with her power active—and she gets to the point. No buggering around for this girl. Oh yeah, and she wants to know everything, but that takes a back seat to the straight facts when people are getting annoying.
IDIOSYNCRASIES --
-- Impatience. Eddie’s habit of wanting to get to the point of everything and solve a lot of problems leads to her losing her patience around anyone, anything, or event that does not immediately have a point.
-- Due to Eddie’s ability, she catches onto things quicker than most people would and figures out complex problems even faster. If only everyone else moved as fast as she did...
-- Eddie refuses to follow any and all rules. It makes things a bit difficult when she’s trying to learn how to drive, but who needs to do that?
-- While Eddie usually inherently knows how to stay out of trouble because of her power, she knowingly does things to annoy others because she wants to see how far she can go without crossing that ever-present line... or before others have decided that she has “crossed the line”. She likes things done expediently, but she prefers to piss people off along the way because it’s just fun to see how far she can go.
PERSONALITY--
--Indifferent: Eddie has trouble attaching herself to anything. The first thing she ever came to understand was that everything ends. With that sort of thing always on her mind, Eddie finds it difficult to become emotionally attached to something that will probably cease to exist at any time. The few things she does care about (like her pride), she goes out of her way to protect them, but that’s mostly because her emotional side is allowed to kick in.
--Proud:One of her many flaws, Eddie’s biggest problem is her hubris. She doesn’t has as much ambition as most people, but she believes in her own self-importance and she doesn’t see her own weaknesses ever. She borders on sociopathy in her way of mentally placing herself above all the little “people” that surround her. If they only did things her way and saw things through her eyes, they’d be in such a better state.
--Observant: Due to Eddie’s habit of placing herself outside society because of just being who she is, she sees and understands things more than the average person. It helps that her special ability is to understand complex systems, but that’s incidental.
--Curious: True to most people who have the same power as Eddie, she has a over need to know and explore everything. This is the main reason she left Gibraltar. Heck, this is the main reason she likes change and exploring new things. It’s almost the very reason why she hasn’t done something suicidal yet. There’s so much to learn in the world.
--Enthusiastic: While Eddie does have her many, many flaws, if one thing positive can be said for her, it’s that she’s very enthusiastic about everything she does as she does it. Whether it’s trying to repair a piece of machinery or antagonizing her physician while she’s trying to diagnose her illness, Eddie does it because she enjoys it. If Eddie isn’t interested in doing something she won’t do it. She likes to get down to business because she enjoys business. It’s one of the few things she isn’t indifferent about and she will hurt the person that tries to get in her way. [/size]

“what about your life?
[/sup][/center] FAMILY FATHER -- Lucas Abrams (birth father), Sunil Singh (step-father)
SIBLINGS -- Severina Abrams (22), Helena Abrams(19), and Francisca Abrams (16)
OTHER NOTABLE RELATIVES -- none as of yet
[/ul]BIOGRAPHY -- Edelmira’s life has actually been a pretty normal and happy. Her father owned a fishing company that was pretty successful. When he died of a heart attack when Eddie was 6, she was sad about it, but the family moved on and things got better. Eddie understood he wasn’t coming back. By the time her mother had met and was dating Sunil, Eddie barely remembered her father and it was her older sisters who were more hostile toward him. Eddie was just happy to see her mother with someone who made her so happy.
From Sunil, Eddie learned of her abilities with general mechanics and fitting things together and figuring out how they worked. While Severina and Helena went off to college in England, Eddie wasn’t really interested in that. She tried, but things didn’t really work out through her own doing, mostly anyway. From there, Eddie decided to drop out and go to American, specifically any city with a repeated name like Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; New York, New York; and any other place Eddie could find with a map. Of course, America is turning out to be a bit boring. Everyone’s the same even when they claim to be completely different and independent. She’s now wishing she’d decided to go to India first. Maybe after she causes enough benign havoc in America she’ll find a way to get to India.
SAMPLE RP
Some people did not take good care of their cars. Edelmira—better known as Eddie to most people—had seen these types before. These people never cared about the precious machines they counted on to take them from place to place... until the poor thing had broken down from abuse and neglect. Some were nice enough about it while others were explosively cruel. The woman Eddie stood before now was one of those types, but she seemed nice enough otherwise.
“What do you mean it’s not done yet? You said my car would be fixed by five o’clock. It’s now five thirty,” the woman said.
“There’s a lot more wrong with your car than I’d thought,” Eddie explained in her highly stilted accent.
Luckily, this woman seemed to understand her which was better than most people who heard her speak and acted like they couldn’t understand a word. They’d then swear something about “foreigners” and “going back where they came from”. It was really getting dull around here. Eddie wanted to go to India where the traffic was crazy and the people didn’t try to act nice and then mumble behind your back, but she didn’t have enough money after her mother cut her off for not finishing college. Eddie had already read enough books to get 30 degrees. But what use was wasting time gaining prestige when there was so much more to learn about life, people, and everything?
