Special Characteristics:


Personality:
Edwin vancleef to begin is a quiet man, often one who thinks before he speaks. However this quiet does not hinder his voice when speaking against something that seems wrong, as strangely enough he has a good sense of morality and justice. However he can easily put aside his good sense if the end goal would reach, believing the phrase, "The ends justify the means." This is shown because he himself has and will engaged in tactics that can suggest otherwise. But he is still one that sympathizes with the common non-magical man usually, and often works toward the goal of helping regular people out. And back to "The ends justify the means", he will often solve a problem with no issue on how it's done usually. Finally he does enjoy working toward his goals border lining workaholic as to work toward his goals is pleasant for him. With this he can easily think of the bigger picture and outcomes to choices he or others may make(doesn't mean he's always right). Truth be told after all this he is a introvert, and while he will do what is necessary he is much more into being alone or near alone doing his own things. This does mean he tends to dislike social settings with lots of people like parties or grand balls, preferring to attend them if their is a reason beyond being social able. He can still put off a good appearance though, it's just he prefers it if he was alone or with a small group of people.


Edwin relies on his unassuming appearance to avoid most fights as he won't engage in a fight unless it's beneficial to him in one form or another. However when in battle, he always prefers to take the offensive; he is known to frequently retreat from combat only to circle around and strike a few minutes later when his enemies have lowered their guard. He will use distractions or hang back in order to gain a preferred advantage on a opponent, then take opportunity of it quickly. He greatly prefers striking at the more fragile enemies in a fight first in order to make the rest of the fight easier for him.


In battle with others he will lead them with his style or use them to benefit his style the most. He is a natural leader, as he had in the past lead his own organization against difficult odds(as in against trained mages and organized government funded armies). He does however care for those under his command to a point. This means while he will accept some loss in battle, if the victory is not worth it then he will order a retreat to devise a new plan. While under a leader he will only follow orders if they had earned his respect or are following tactics that he would do in the situation. Otherwise he will fight the leader against their plan or grudgingly go along with it, though their would be consequences after.

Likes:
-Independent guilds; an odd like, but he can respect the guild's mission to do what they see as right, and not ordered against their will by some higher order.
-Music; He loves to listen to music, and can be heard sometimes humming or singing a song to himself
-Cute things; edwin likes to see the adorable puppy or the newborn baby begin to explore the world, it simply makes him happy to see
-Work; It's not really work for edwin if it's toward his goals, and he enjoys making progress like that
-Machines; They naturally fascinate him and he likes to learn how they work. Some of his favorite machines are music players and vehicles
-The common man; the common man is the working person, the one who puts long hours in to put food and water on the table at the end of the day. He likes to see himself as one and works to protect these kinds of people.


Dislikes:
-Legal guild members and rune knights; to him these are nothing more then brainwashed fools and loyal dogs of the magic council, though this opinion may vary from mage to mage
-Magic council; He has seen corruption in the magic council, it has affected his life directly and does not forgive them for it.
-Senseless killings; he is a leader, he understands when murder needs to happen whether to set a example or for morale. But he does not like when people have to die for no purpose or for mere pleasure with no end goal.
-Nobility; those who claim they are noble are not exactly well received by edwin, who can trace his problems back to nobles
-Superiority complexes; this combined with claiming your noble is enough to put a target on your head for edwin to aim at, who again can trace his problems back to people like this
-Betrayal; he had once put his trust into people who betrayed them even after saving their lives because they held power to them, needless to say these people don’t live long.
-Mages, non-humans; Mages can carry an air of superiority that he detests against, and he had grown up facing threats from all kinds of demi-humans and non-humans who looked down on humanity


Motivations:
-Get rid of the magic council; He wants to create a new government that would not think of themselves so high-up and so mighty nor allow the opportunity for nobles to be placed
-Change the legal guilds; This does not concern every legal guild, but when the magic council is gone he will make sure some legal guilds are put under more regulation
-Grow more powerful; Edwin wants this as more of a goal with his next organization, but the urge for him to become stronger himself is buried deep within him.
-Preserve humanity; call him a humanist, but one of his goals is to keep the race of humans alive and well. Even if he himself may change, this goal is ingrained deep within him.


Fears:
-Being alone and helpless; He is fine being alone so as long he has something to help him out, whether it be his skills or equipment. But being totally helpless and alone is terrifying for him.
-Death; doesn’t everyone fear it? In any case, he fears it for it means he can no longer pursue his goals if he died, not in the way he wants too anyways.
-Going deaf; going deaf loses his ability to enjoy music and hear things in general. He doesn't want it to happen to him
