The Royals: Eddie Royal - Character Description

Name:
Edward “Eddie” Royal

Profession:
College Student

Age and Birthday:
22, born on Nov 10

Brief Personality Description:
Though Eddie has street smarts, he also has quite a bit of book learning in his head. He knows about people and about computers, and he can hold his own in a conversation about sports. Eddie has an amazing sense of humor, and was often playing practical jokes and pranks on his friends and siblings growing up. He’s a hopeless romantic who falls hard and fast for a pretty face.  Often puts the women he adores up onto a pedestal, which gets him into trouble.

Physical Appearance:
Eddie has curly, light brown hair and a long face. His button nose makes him look a bit younger than he is, though there’s a depth in his eyes that betrays how wise beyond his years he is. One might say that he has the best physical characteristics of both sides of his family. He is tall, like his older brother, Benedict, and athletic like Oliver. He almost always wears a quirky smirk and shows off his dimples. His hair is often shaggy and a mess.

Dress Style:
There are only a couple of dress shirts in Eddie’s closet, and those are often wrinkled nearly beyond recognition. The rest of his wardrobe consists of band or nerd culture t-shirts, cargo pants and comfortable, sensible shoes.

Quirky Habits:
Along with his older brothers Oliver and Charles, Eddie is known to throw a football around on Thanksgiving, or hit the tennis courts on Easter, or go hiking with friends and family on the Fourth of July.  Even though he's a huge geek and spends quite a bit of time in front of a computer, he has an athletic side.  He follows certain sports, but he’d much rather be playing football than participating in a fantasy football league. Then again, he’d much rather be playing a football video game.

Backstory Fragment:
Eddie was absolutely crazy over a girl named Pamela in college. After several dates and a few nights together with the sock on the door handle, Pamela broke things off with Eddie and started dating her RA. Eddie took this as a personal affront.  After her betrayal Eddie turned his back on the girl, as he often does. Eddie is likely to flip flop and feel the extremes of emotion, turning from hot to cold over things and letting his temper flare. This was the case with Pamela, who he refuses to even acknowledge now that his ego has been injured.
