HOW CAN I DECIDE WHAT"S RIGHT
(personality; at least 200 words)
Edward, like all vampires in the Twilight series, possesses superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and agility, and is described as being inhumanly beautiful. His scent and voice are enormously seductive to Bella, so much so that he occasionally sends her into a pliant daze entirely by accident. In Twilight, Edward explains that like other vampires, he does not need to breathe, though he chooses to do so out of habit and because it is helpful to smell his environment. He cannot digest regular food, and compares its attractiveness for him to the prospect of eating dirt for a regular person. As well, like other vampires, Edward is not able to sleep.
In addition to the traits he shares with his fellow vampires, Edward has certain abilities that are his alone. He is the fastest of the Cullens, able to outrun any of them. Perhaps as a result of a talent for empathy in his human life, Edward can also read the mind of anyone within a few miles of himself; Bella is the sole exception to this rule, which Meyer has stated is due to Bella having a very private mind.[7] Edward also retains some of the traditional mindset and dated patterns of speech from his early-20th century human life.
Edward is musical, able to play the piano like a virtuoso. He enjoys a wide range of music, including classical, jazz, progressive metal, alternative rock, and punk rock, but dislikes country. He prefers indie rock to mainstream, and appreciates rock and classical music equally.[8] He mentions in Twilight that he likes music from the fifties better than the sixties, dislikes the seventies, and says the eighties were "bearable".
A hobby of Edward's is collecting cars.[8] He owns a Volvo S60 R and an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish as a "special occasion" car. He also gave his sister Alice a Porsche 911 Turbo as a gift in Eclipse. He bought a motorcycle to ride alongside Bella, but gave it to Jasper after he realized that riding motorcycles was a hobby she enjoyed sharing with Jacob.
HISTORY:
Edward’s human life in Chicago was fairly happy and uneventful. His parents were moderately wealthy as his father was a successful lawyer. The biggest worry in his mother’s life was the fact that World War I was raging and Edward was only a year away from the draft, which had been lowered to 18 years of age in August of 1918.
By September of that same year, the influenza epidemic hit, claiming the lives of both of Edward’s parents and very nearly taking his own as well. His attending physician was Carlisle Cullen, who saved him by changing him into a vampire. It was Edward’s mother who requested Dr. Cullen save Edward. She seemed to “know” that Carlisle could save him in a special way and begged him to do it.
Since that time, Edward has passed as Carlisle’s adopted son or as the younger brother of his wife before the family grew to its current size. He has been to medical school twice, but never practiced. He loves driving fast and collects cars as a hobby.
From 1927 until 1931, Edward had a bout of rebellion and went off for a few years on his own away from Carlisle and Esme. He figured that he could drink off of humans if they were truly evil, using his special gifts to avoid the innocent. After a while, he couldn’t “escape the debt of so much human life taken, no matter how justified” and returned to Carlisle and Esme who welcomed him back with open arms.
Around 1936, Edward moved to Forks with his family where they encountered the Quileute Indians who have the ability to transform into werewolves. A treaty was arranged stating that the wolves would leave the Cullens alone so long as they didn’t bite any humans and stay off of the Quileute land. The Cullens lived in Forks for a few years before moving on to other places.
In 2003 the Cullens returned to Forks. Then in 2005 Edward meets Isabella Swan. Her blood “sings” for him and he becomes infatuated with her. She soon figures out his secret and accepts him as a vampire. (TW9) They fall in love despite innumerable odds. When Bella becomes the victim of a tracker named James, Edward is forced to drink her blood to stop the venom form spreading through her system.
Edward stays with Bella until her disastrous 18th birthday party where he is forced to reevaluate the future of her life with him. He decides that Bella would be better off living a normal life without him and leaves Forks along with his family. He spends his time tracking Victoria all around the southern United States and even ventures into Mexico and South America. When he is told that Bella is dead, he travels to Italy with the intention of committing suicide. Bella and Alice arrive in Italy in time to stop him. He convinces the Volturi to let them all return to Forks with the promise that Bella will be made a vampire.
The return to Forks means the return to a normal routine between Edward and Bella. He agrees to change Bella as long as she will marry him. He is then reminded by Jacob Black that the treaty says he is forbidden to bite a human.
News reports came in shortly there after that alerted Edward and his family that a newborn vampire was loose in Seattle. (EC1) This fact coupled with Bella’s desire to make amends with Jacob brought out the over protective side in Edward. (EC2) He took her away to Florida to visit her mother (EC3) and even had Alice “kidnap” Bella when he was away hunting. (EC6) He did eventually allow Bella to see Jacob, concluding that it would better for her to see him safely than to try to escape off to see him. (EC8)
When Edward picked up the scent of an unknown vampire having been in Bella’s bedroom, his concern lead to the prospect of battle with the newborns in Seattle. (EC9) Graduation came and Bella pointed out to Edward and the Cullens that she believed Victoria was the one creating the newborn in Seattle. (EC16) This new information surprisingly brought an alliance between the Cullens and the Quileutes to not only protect Bella, but also stop the newborns from attacking anyone else. (EC17) In order to calm Bella’s nerves about the attack, Edward agreed to sit the battle out and stay with her. (EC19) Bella and Edward reached another compromise that she would marry him in exchange for them making love while she is still human. (EC20)
Edward helped Bella set up the newborns by planting her scent in the field where the battle would happen. (EC21) After an evening in cold watching Jacob sleep next to Bella to keep her warm (EC22), he allowed Jacob and Bella to make their good-byes, which included a willing kiss from Bella. (EC23) Bella assured Edward that she loves him more and wants to be with him forever. The battle ensued bringing Victoria and her personal helper, Riley, to the camp. Edward and Seth Clearwater killed them and burned them. (EC 24) When Jane and the Volturi arrived to clean up the mess, Edward tried to save a few of the newborns, but was unsuccessful. (EC25)
After Bella said her final good-bye to Jacob, Edward went and collected her from her car and held her all night as she cried. In the morning Bella told Edward again that she has made her choice and that the time has come to enlist Alice’s help with their wedding. (EC26)
Edward went with Bella to ask Charlie for Bella’s hand in marriage. After assuring Charlie that he would never hurt her, Charlie agreed and the plans for the wedding went into full swing. (BD1) Later, against Bella’s request, Edward sent Jacob an invitation to the wedding along with his personal thanks for everything he ever did to protect and care for Bella. (EC Ep)
The night before the wedding, Edward had a bachelor party with his brothers. (BD2) He didn’t see Bella again until she came down the stairs at the Cullen home at the official wedding ceremony. With all of his family and friends as witness, Edward married Bella on Aug. 12, 2006. (BD3) At the reception, some tension flared when Jacob showed up and discovered that Edward and Bella intended to make love while she was still human. (BD4)
As a surprise for Bella, Edward took her on a honeymoon to a private island that Carlisle had purchased for Esme years before. They made love that evening for the first time in the water, and Edward spent the night disgusted with himself for bruising Bella. As a result, he vowed not to make love to her again until after she was a vampire. (BD5) For a few days, Edward tried to keep somewhat of an intimate distance from Bella, opting instead to cook for her increasing appetite and care for her as she slept for unusually lengthy periods of time. But after Bella awake from a rather passionate dream, he couldn’t resist her any longer and made love to her again, this time without causing any bruising or injury. (BD6)
Their honeymoon continued with Bella eating and sleeping in extreme ways until she made the assumption that after seventeen days without interruption from her menstrual cycle that she was pregnant. Stunned and completely taken off guard, Edward takes a call from Carlisle and asks if it could be possible, which he confirmed. Scared for Bella’s life, and furious with himself, Edward immediately took bring Bella home so Carlisle could examine her. His intention was to get whatever thing was inside of Bella out of her as quickly as possible, which Bella protested against. (BD7)
On the trip home, Edward took Bella’s silence to mean that she was afraid and angry for what Edward was putting her though. It wasn’t until they arrived in Forks and Edward could hear Rosalie’s thoughts that he understood that Bella intended to keep the baby. Edward stayed with Bella as Carlisle examined her and confirmed the pregnancy. He also remained insistent that the pregnancy be terminated in order to save Bella’s life, which caused a rift between Edward and Bella as well as the entire Cullen family.
Edward found an unusual bond with Jacob over the pregnancy. He asked Jacob to try to convince Bella to terminate the pregnancy. More than that, he offered to allow Jacob to have a baby with Bella if only she would give up the one currently killing her. Even though Jacob was uncomfortable with the offer, he agreed to at least talk to Bella. Edward also made Jacob promise that if Bella didn’t agree, that Jacob would kill him the moment Bella’s heart stop beating. (BD9)
Bella didn’t agree to do any of the things Jacob asked her, which left Edward to remain powerless as her pregnancy continued at an alarming rate and her health decreased. A stray thought from Jacob gave Edward the idea that if they gave the partial vampire fetus what it was craving, meaning blood, that perhaps Bella’s heath would return. (BD12) Edward held Bella’s hand as she drank the blood and was happy to see that it did help her to regain some of her health. (BD13) Even still, as the fetus grew and Bella suffered broken bones and painful bruising, Edward maintained his belief that the pregnancy should be terminated. (BD14)
His attitude changed completely when the fetus reached a point where he could hear its thoughts. In total awe of the situation, Edward could know understand that the baby didn’t want to hurt to hurt Bella, but that the baby loved Bella. It was that thought as well as similar others that changed Edward’s opinion and desire that the baby should survive. (BD16)
Wanting to save both Bella and the baby, Edward asks Jacob for permission to turn Bella into a vampire once the baby is born. This would not only save Bella’s life but also break the long standing treaty the Cullen’s have with the Quileutes. (BD17)
Later that evening while Carlisle was away, Bella’s placenta became detached forcing Edward to deliver the baby on his own. Bella was severely wounded in the process. Unable to deliver the baby naturally, Edward used his teeth to cut through the strong placenta and free his daughter from Bella’s womb. He allowed Bella to see the baby for a moment before Bella’s heart faltered. While Jacob administered CPR, Edward gave Bella’s a shot of venom to begin her transformation. Additionally, her bit her at all her main pulse points (throat, wrists, inner arm) and sealed the wounds closed with his tongue. (BD18)
Edward kept watch over Bella as she suffered through her transformation. At some point Edward was able to speak with Jacob and discovered that he had imprinted on their daughter, Renesmee. (BD19) When Bella awoke, he reassured her that everything was fine and kissed her in a way he had never before been able to kiss her. Even though Bella wanted to see Renesmee, Edward insisted that she hunt first to get her thirst under control since the baby was partly human. He was also frustrated that she still couldn’t hear her thoughts. (BD20)
He took Bella hunting for the first time and was amazed to find that she was able to control her thirst enough to run away from a group of humans hiking in the woods. (BD21) Afterwards, he took Bella to see their rapidly growing daughter, which once again demonstrated how rational and in control Bella was of her thirst. (BD22)
Edward took Bella to a small cottage on the Cullen property that Esme had given them to use as their own house. Since it was Bella’s nineteenth birthday, they celebrated by starting in on a second honeymoon before bringing their daughter home to stay with them. (BD24) After Jacob let Charlie in on what was going on in Forks, Edward stayed by Bella’s side when he came to see her and the baby for the first time, passing Renesemee off as an orphaned niece. (BD25)
Edward worked with Carlisle day and night to find out everything they could about Renesmee and her unusual aging process. He also encouraged Bella to go to Italy and prove to the Volturi that she was now a vampire. But all plans were put aside when Irina from Denali, Alaska spotted Bella, Jacob, and Nessie, who she mistook for an immortal child, playing outside. (BD27)
The confirmation from Alice that the Volturi were coming to punish the Cullens for breaking the law, (BD28) Edward and the rest of his family pulled together all of their vampire friends, including the rest of the Denali clan, to verify that Renesmee was not an immortal child but rather a human-vampire hybrid. (BD31, 32) It was during this time that Bella’s gift for defense and shielding was discovered (BD32) as was the explanation for Renesmee’s gift of showing people what was in her own mind. (BD34)
When the Volturi arrived, Edward allowed Aro to see his thoughts and know everything about Bella’s pregnancy and transformation and Renesmee’s life. (BD36) The clever and witty argument that followed, along with the testimony of everyone who had witnessed Renesmee’s heart beat, was all done to convince the Volturi that no crime had been committed. (BD37) But it wasn’t until Alice arrived with another human-vampire hybrid named Nahuel that the Volturi backed down and agreed to leave Forks. (BD38)
After the threat from the Volturi passed, a very grateful Edward and Bella said good-bye to their friends and returned to their cottage with Renesmee. It was then that Bella was able to drop her shield enough to allow Edward to hear her mind for the first time. (BD39)
WHEN YOU'RE CLOUDING UP MY MIND
(appearance; at least 100 words)
Like all the vampires in the Twilight series, Edward is described by Bella as being impossibly beautiful. At various points in the series, she compares him to the mythical Greek god Adonis. His skin is "like marble"—very pale, ice cold, and sparkles in the sunlight. She describes his facial features as being perfect and angular—high cheekbones, strong jawline, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair, which is always messy, retains the unusual bronze shade that he inherited in his human life from his biological mother. His eyes, once green, are now described as topaz. His appearance changes if he goes long without feeding: his eyes darken, becoming almost black, and purple bruises appear beneath his eyes. Edward is 6'2", and has a slender but muscular body.
I CAN"T WIN YOU'RE LOSING FIGHT
(RP sample; as long as you think necessary)[/blockquote][/size]
How could he decribe how he was feeling at the moment? Exhausted wouldn't suffice seeing as vampires don't get exhuasted. Maybe, drained? Yes, drained works. As Edward pelted through the woods towards his fairly recent new home, in the small town of Forks, he felt very drained. He cursed his speed as he ran, as it was what came from being a monster. He turned his head to the left to see his brothers, Emmett and Jasper, running just out of eye sight. Edward was always much faster than the rest of his family. His family of vampires. Usually he would race them, just to get the sheer triumph of being faster than his two brothers, one of them being far more stronger than himself. But today, he just felt like letting them try to catch up.
All three of them burst out of the trees silently as they reached their home. A large white mansion in the middle of the forest out of town. The perfect place for a family of vampires to reside in peace, without the fear of being found out for what they truely were. Not that anyone these days would actually make the connection that they were vampires. The minds of people in this day and age, as Edward learned over many years of experience, were extrememly dull and narrow.
They silently walked up the front steps. Edward stopped and watched as his brothers opened the large heavy doors and entered the mansion. Edward could already hear Alice and Rosalie coming down from upstairs to greet them. Edward sighed and turned to stare out into the forest. His thoughts ranged from his long, long life so far, to what was coming in his future of eternity.
He soon joined his family in the house. Everyone was thinking the same thing. They all felt sorry for Edward. Why? Because he had noone. Of course, he had his family, but he had noone to love and care for, like Carlisle had Esme. Rosalie had Emmett and Jasper had Alice. Edward made it a habit to try not to read the thoughts of his family members, but sometimes it was hard to ignore.
He silently made his way to his room upstairs. He didn't feel like talking to anyone. He just needed some time alone. It was school tomorrow. Yet another day at school. Edward had been to so many schools, he knew every answer of every test in every class. It was quite sad really. But what could he do? He was permanently the physical appearence of 17 forever. He spent the night listening to his vast collection of music, all the thoughts that bothered him before were now far out of his mind. He waited till that sun rose and then got ready for school. He was in for an interesting day today, though he wasn't aware of it yet. Today was the day Isabella Swan was due to start school.
