>>hometown: chicago, illinois
>>species: vampire
>>abilities: Edward's ability is he reads minds. There was a time when he couldn't hear Bella's thoughts, but after she was changed, she was able to figure out how to drop her shield so that he could hear what she was thinking. Up to this day she has been the only person to ever block his ability.

TRANSITIONING

>>height: six foot 2 inches
>>weight:
>>hair: bronze , brown
>>eyes: golden
>>general appearance:
Edward is somewhat tall and lanky, standing at six foot two inches tall. At first glance one may assume he isn't very strong, but he actually is. His hair is usually unruly, a fault not of his own. He stopped trying to tame it when he was younger, figuring it was more natural for it to be unruly since it seemed to have a mind of it's own. Besides, he's a guy so he figured it wasn't too important to worry about his hair. He wears comfortable clothing most of the time but he can and does dress nicely if the occasion calls for it.

>>weaknesses: his family, blaming himself for pain he thinks he causes on his loved ones , anger, jealousy, hate, envy, being over protective
>>habits/quirks: he hums classical music when he's bored, collects cars
>>fears: He fears losing his wife and daughter and living alone for the rest of his life.
>>secrets: He envies humans because of their mortality. If it weren't for Bella in his life he would probably find someway to end his own.
>>personality:

Edward is a very protective person. He cares for his family and loves them to a degree most people wouldn't understand. He'd do anything for them, even leave them if he felt it would be best to keep them safe from harm. While the thought of leaving his loved ones hurts him, and he hopes he never has to do it, he would if it was necessary. With this he's also very loyal and once you're friends with him or his family he'll stand by you no matter what.

Some of the things he likes to do is collect cars, listen to classical music and play the piano. His love for music began when he was human. His mother had made him take piano lessons which he was against doing at first. But as soon as he started to learn about the instrument, he loved playing it. Since then he still enjoys playing it, it helps him relax and it quiets his thoughts faster than anything other than Bella.

Because of his long life he's gone to school multiple times. Not only attending the normal elementary and high school levels of school, but college as well. He's gone to medical school twice but has never practiced medicine. It's something he's thought about picking up and doing if he ever settled down some place and felt the need to find something that would occupy his time, but at the moment he views it as another hobby.




BEFORE THE BITE

>>history:

Edward had a happy life in Chicago with his parents. They were fairly wealthy and lived in a large house. His father was a lawyer, and therefore Edward had everything he needed and most things he wanted when he was growing up. When he was older, around 17, World War I had started and his parents were worried he would be selected for the draft since the age limit had been lowered to 17 instead of 18. Other than that, he had a happy childhood and nothing really traumatic ruined it.

By September of the year he was seventeen, the flue epidemic claimed both of his parent's lives, and nearly Edwards. Carlisle was the attending physician and saved Edward by turning him into a vampire. Had it not been for Edward's mother's dying request that he save Edward, Carlisle may not have been so quick to turn him. She seemed to "know" that Carlisle could save him and begged him to do it.

Since then Carlisle adopted Edward and Edward has passed as his son, or as the younger brother of his wife before the family grew larger. Edward has been to medical school twice but has never practiced and collects cars as a hobby.

From 1927-1931 Edward left Carlisle and Esme. He drank off humans that were evil and used his ability to read minds so that he could tell them apart from the good. After a few years of feeding off humans, he couldn't justify the price of a human life regardless of his reasoning for killing them. He returned to Forks and to Carlisle and Esme who welcomed him back into their family.

A few years later the Cullens encountered an Indian tribe called the Quiletes, who were werewolves. Their purpose was to keep the humans safe and to kill any vampire they happened to meet. Fortunately the tribe and the Cullens agreed on a treaty. If the Cullens didn't go outside of their territory or kill a human then the wolves would let them live in peace. They lived in Forks for a few years before moving elsewhere.

In 2003, the Cullens returned to Forks and Edward met Bella while attending the high school. The two eventually became friends even after Edward warned her against being friends with him. She found out his secret and confronted him, and when he admitted to being a vampire, she accepted him as a vampire. They fell in love, despite their differences and the odds against them. Unfortunately things became complicated for them. It all started with a game of baseball. A trio of vampires came onto the field, and realized that Bella was still a human. One of the vampires was James, and his thirst for her drove him into his tracking mood.

He convinced Bella to meet him at an old Ballet studio of hers to save her mother, and she went without anyone else. Edward managed to get to her in time thanks to Alice's vision, but James was still able to bite Bella. It wasn't enough to change her, but Edward still had to drink the poison from the wound so that the venom wouldn't get into her blood stream. They killed James and helped Bella heal from the wounds she received from the encounter by James.

Edward remained with Bella until he was forced to think about their relationship at her 18th birthday party. She cut herself and Jasper nearly attacked her, and it was because of this that Edward tried to disappear completely from her life. The Cullens moved from their house in Forks and there was no trace that they ever existed. This caused Bella to go into a deep depression, and it took a lot of work from Jacob and her father to get her close to getting out of it. If Alice had not shown up in Forks again, Bella probably would have fallen for Jacob. But she did return to Forks to tell Bella that Edward was giving himself up to the Volturi, and had threatened to end his life. They hoped Bella would convince him otherwise. Bella went with Alice to Volterra and found Edward in time before he exposed himself as a vampire to the humans there. The Volturi of course realized that Bella was still a human and said that she had seen too much and wanted to kill her or change her so that she would apart of their coven and even tried to convince Edward and the other Cullens to join them. Edward convinced them to let them return to Forks, promising that Bella would become a vampire.

Once they returned to Forks life returned to normal for Edward and Bella. He agreed to change Bella if she would marry him. At first she didn't like the thought of getting married because her own parent's marriage didn't turn out well. They had a difficult time convincing her father that Edward was right for her, since her father had seen how much it had hurt Bella when Edward and his family had left Forks. Eventually Charlie let Edward back into the house again and allowed him to see Bella more often.

Eventually the Cullens heard of a newborn vampire that was in Seattle. The newborn was killing the humans and this sparked more over protectiveness from Edward towards Bella. Eventually the Cullens realized the presence of the newborn was due to James' mate, Victoria who wanted revenge against Edward and Bella for killing her mate. They also suspected the Volturi had some sort of involvement. This led to to another agreement between the Cullens and the Quiletes but this time, as allies. The wolves helped defeat the newborn army and Victoria alongside the Cullens and things in Forks returned to normal again.

After that, Edward proposed to Bella, and soon their lives were filled with finishing off their last year of high school and wedding plans. Alice was in charge of coordinating everything for the wedding, of course, and the ceremony turned out beautifully. Their honeymoon was spent on Isle Esme, an island that Carlisle gifted to Esme. It was not uneventful though. Impossible as it may be, Bella realized she was pregnant. Edward did not take the news lightly of course and feared the life inside of her would be her death. He immediately took her home to Forks, and insisted that Carlisle get the baby out of her, but Bella had other plans. She enlisted Rosalie to help protect her, and eventually the rest of the Cullens agreed to help Bella through the pregnancy. She was able to have the baby, but not without difficulty. She died giving birth to the baby, since the baby wasn't compatible with her frail human body. The little girl was half-vampire and half human, and Bella named her Renesmee, a combination of the names of her mother and Esme. Shortly after the baby's birth Jacob imprinted on Renesmee.

Edward was able to save Bella by injecting his venom into her, and biting her several times to make sure his venom would work. She woke up a day or so later, as a newborn vampire. At first, she felt disoriented and awkward, but much to Edward's surprise she was able to keep her hunger for blood in check by hunting, and didn't seem to have too much trouble controlling her thirst. The two were even more happier as a vampire couple, and their daughter they soon found was very special. Renesmee grew at an extraordinary rate. In just a few months after birth she was walking and talking and even hunting. Carlisle suspected her rate of growth and development would lessen in her teenage years.

Because of an unfounded allegation against Renesmee that she was an immortal child the Volturi visited the Cullens intending to punish them for breaking the law. The Cullens managed to convince the Volturi that Renesmee had a heartbeat, and it wasn't until Alice brought Nathuel , another hybrid, to the Volturi that the Volturi backed down and left. After that, Edward and Bella returned to their cottage, thankful that they didn't have to worry about their daughter's safety any longer. It was then that Bella let her shield down just enough for Edward to listen to her thoughts.

Since then they've lived happily in Forks, spending time with Bella's side of the family as well as the Cullens. It's been five years since the day the Volturi visited them, and they're still happy. Renesmee is a teenager, and spends most of her time with Jacob at the reservation. Edward and Bella are discussing a possible move to Denali, Alaska to start over again, and to let Bella attend the University there. However they're reluctant to leave because of Renesmee.

roleplay sample:

It was late in the evening, and Edward was sitting out on the small porch attached to the cottage that was built for them for privacy. Even though it was smaller than the main house, he quite enjoyed living there with Bella and Renesmee. The evening was quiet and a bit warm, but the warmth didn't bother him. The day had been mostly spent discussing a move to Denali, Alaska. They'd been putting off the discussion for some time, and finally, Carlisle had called a family meeting and they had made some plans for the near future.

Edward didn't know how he felt about it. It would mean saying goodbye to a time of his life that had been challenging, yet enjoyable. He didn't know if he could leave knowing Renesmee was getting older, and spending more time with Jacob than he liked. She knew that Jacob could be trusted, but he also knew that he had imprinted on his daughter. While time and other circumstances had mended his relationship with Jacob to a certain degree, there was still some tense and awkward moments between them. He didn't really know how to react to the situation, other than let it take it's course. He realized he couldn't stop his daughter from loving Jacob, and he would rather support her than push her away. Still though, he wished Renesmee would have stayed his little girl longer.

He sat there and enjoyed the quiet of the evening and tried not to let his thoughts worry too much over things. He could hear Bella in the house; she had wanted to shower before joining him on the porch. He couldn't be happier with his life, and for that he was grateful.
