age:12
species: "Er…human? Yup, I’m pretty sure I’m a human.”
birthplace:Finchely, England.
movie: “This one’s been bugging me for much too long. Some people at home say I look like this kid in a movie. The Chronicles of Narnia , I think it’s called. Apparently, “I’m” being played by this actor named Skandar Keynes. I bet he’s a weird bloke, that one. I mean, really, how can somebody be named‘Skandar’? That’s even worse than ‘Edmund’. What does ‘Skandar’ even mean? I don't know, but it sound's a bit dodgy. Well, I guess I do look like him, but I hate how I keep getting mistaken for him.”
title: But that's a girl's coat
why: Well simply because Edmund’s my favorite Narnia character and I’ve always thought it would be fun to RP him. So I decided to try it out.

charrie appearance (about 3 sentences)[/ul][/font][/i]
facial description/mood expressions:Edmund tries his very best to show two emotions: neutral and happy. Either his face is grinning away, smirking, teasing, excited or just plain old nothing. He doesn't like to show unhappyness, love, anger or anything else. His deep brown eyes are the only thing that radiates all of his feelings.
clothing style:Eddy never had cared about his clothing much. Well, except for maybe once when his brother forced him to wear a lady's coat. His royal tunics feauturing his favorite colors, dark greens and blues, always manage to please him. Brown pants often accompany the tunics with a leather belt. On those special occasions, Edmund will most often be found wearing his crown. Oh, sure it's ancient. But who cares!! Edmund the show off's always looking for an excuse to wear it on his messy curls, loving every second of it.
Now this, obviously, is for the days he spends in Narnia. Should he be at home, he's mostly seen wearing what's comfortable, manly and probably popular since he does have an image to keep. It varies, but his clothing usually at least has some greens or blues in it.
body build: Edmund is short. Oh, how he detests being short. He's constantly hoping for a future growth spurt. More preferably, now . His goal's to be taller than Peter. Althought he believes he's short, he's actually not too much for a boy his age. Being a young boy, he's also not what you call "muscular". Yet, once again, he's pretty muscular for a boy his age. This is all thanks to being a king and the training/battles he had to go through. Yet, that's only when he's Narnia. Outside, in the real world, he's still the boney kid he used to be. Another thing he dislikes.
any unique traits (optional) :

original charrie analysis. (everything must be in your own words! please be thorough, about 3 sentences)[/ul][/font][/i]
What is Edmund's title?
-Holds out ear-
What? Yes, correct! "Kind Edmund the Just". Now, that is more than just a simple title. As what it refers to, Ed-Ed [don't tell him I called him that] is a just person. In his previous experience in Narnia, he was what can be described as "unjust". Yet, because of that, he learned his lesson and will now judge on a neutral basis, though leaning to the weaker side. Forgiving, he'll easily give someone a second chance if they regret their mistakes. He has enough regrets in his life to know how it feels. He's rather good willed towards others, finding joy in fashioning a smile on people's faces.
Oh, and another obvious trait this guy has would be his strong will. Stubborn and determind, the boy will go as far as rebelling against any oppositions for as long as he believes he's correct. He'll always drive his will through until proven wrong. Guess what this also means? He's not so good with authority. This 'authority', unfortunately for them, mostly being his elder siblings. Neither Susan nor Peter have any control on him. They try to "boss him around"? He'll simply ignore them flat out and often does the exact opposite of what he's told. That's just the nature of being Edmund.
Edmund's fiercely passionate in anything he does. This means success in whatever that thing is. He'll give his all even if it might have some not-so-good side effects. His passion also makes him quite the courageous person. Should he have not been so passionate about defeating the White Witch? He wouldn't have broken her wand and risked his own life. Should he have not been so passionate about his Narnia? He would have conceded to simply being kind and not high king like Peter. This also means that he's rather impulsive. The "acting without thinking" trait's definitely not foreign to him.
But, don't be fooled, what I said above doesn't mean all he does is impulsive. He's also pretty strategic and will plan or scheme things to get them done. He's sly-in a good way-and will stick to any plan he thinks off. Well, unless if the situation calls for something else which is most likely one of his impulses.
Ed can also be described as "loyal". Despite how he was dubbed a "traitor", he learnt his lesson and would never, ever, ever, never, ever--goes on for a while--betray his family and friends. Well, he'll try his best anyways. In case you're thinking of hurting any of them too, be warned, you'll be dead meat by the end. He'll punch your face off. So, be wise and choose some other person to bully. Yes, Edmund's rather overprotective over his siblings. Even if wise-head Susan, bossy Petter and talkative Lucy gets on his nerves wayy too often, he loves them and has no idea what he'll do without them.
So, you meet Edmund. What's really the first thing you notice? That's right: his sarcasm. As practically everyone with the pleasure to meet him knows, Edmonda [also don't tell him I called him that] is one sarcastic
This means that Edmund's not too great at admitting his faults. He simply doesn't like talking about them, as with most people. But this doesn't mean he's not aware of them. Why, if anything, he'll be able to point them out better than anyone else.
history:
Edmund Alexander Pevensie was born in a family of four consisting of two parents and two elder siblings. He therefore found himself under constant care of these four and rather annoyed thanks to it. But, not long after his first birthday, another baby was born. This one, a girl, was named Lucy. Most of his family’s attention and care, or so he thought, were now given to this young girl. Edmund felt ignored. All he could see was the constant attention his younger and older siblings were fed.
His childhood years held signs of him going awry. In his old school, the teachers frequently gave reports of him somehow scaring the other children by imitating and bullying them. He had the tendency of teasing the younger students whilst giving the older ones something to laugh about. People generally avoided him because of his sour attitude, hurtful remarks and sarcasm. Towards his siblings, his look grew cold. In his eyes, Peter became an egotistical bighead and Susan: an irritating professor. Out of all of his siblings, however, Lucy got the worst from him. He constantly took a chance to make her cry, teasing her twenty-four seven. This ended up causing regular feuds between him and his brother, Peter. Lucy always forgave him, however, which urged him to continue it.
As he grew older, he got along with his siblings better, though his jealousy still remained. It wasn’t until their father left to fight in the war that Edmund openly showed his dislike. Peter had taken the “father” role which annoyed Edmund, to say the least. To him, only two people had the right to boss him around and those two would have to be his parents. No Susan and, more importantly, not Peter. It didn’t take long until the declaration was made that all children had to leave London for it no longer was safe.
Thanks to that, the Children were taken to live in an old Professor’s house. Or, should I say, mansion. The place was huge! The kids, like any normal kids would have, decided to play hide and seek. The game, however, was rudely interrupted by Lucy when she claimed that she’d been gone for hours inside a land in the upstairs wardrobe.
Nobody believed her. Including Edmund.
It wasn’t until later when Lucy woke Edmund. Ok, not exactly “woke”, but she made noises which woke the light sleeper anyways. He spied on her, following her into the wardrobe. There didn’t seem to be an end to this wardrobe. In fact, Edmund found himself falling through the end and landing on the snow. Whilst exploring the strange land, he crossed paths with the White Witch. She was gentle, nice, offered him food and told him that she was a Queen looking for a boy to be her prince. After asking about his siblings, she told him that he could be the prince, but he needed servants. When some more of that delicious Turkish delight were handed to him, he promised to lead his siblings to her.
Later on, back home, Lucy woke up the two eldest siblings, claiming that it had to exist because Edmund saw it as well. Sure, he did. But he didn’t want to share Narnia with Peter and Susan. Lucy, he could stand. But Pete and Sue? No way!! That’s why he lied, denying the fact that he saw it and hurting Lucy in the process. To this day, this is still something that makes him feel ashamed.
The day after, the four got into trouble. To save themselves, they followed Lucy into the wardrobe thus ending up in Narnia. The place was all snow and the siblings decided to steal some of the wardrobe’s coats for warmth. Edmund got stuck with a lady’s one. They went in search of a “Mr. Tumnus” whom Lucy said she had previously met. Mr. Tumnus turned out to have been abducted by the Narnian police, however. Soon after this discovery, the children met a beaver named “Mr. Beaver”. He led them to the dam, a place they could settle. Edmund ran away to the Queen while Mr. Beaver was talking about the prophecy.
When the Queen realized that Edmund had failed to bring his siblings along with him, she displayed her true side and locked him up in the dungeons where he met Mr. Tumnus. Mr. Tumnus was then turned into stone by the Queen, or White Witch. This enforced Edmund into protesting. Finding a quick and easy way to shut him up, he was thus forced to sulk. Edmund was later taken on the White Witch’s sled to the forest where she would prepare her army. Realizing how he was currently on the wrong side, Edmund easily understood the grand mistake he had made to trust her.
Edmund soon lost hope. He didn’t think his siblings will ever try to save him because he had betrayed them. This was the reason behind his shock when a small Narnian army came for him, returning him to his siblings and Aslan. The lion spoke to him straight after about his mistakes, therefore silencing his siblings, telling them that there was no need for their scolding. Edmund was grateful that his siblings didn’t question him, instead taking him back in and making him feel welcomed.
When Peter suggested for the other Pevensies to return home, Edmund was the one to strongly object. He knew that Narnia needed them better than the others. He trained with his brother, Peter, and was given a sword. Everything was sunshine until the White Witch showed up, wanting “the traitor”. Aslan talked to her, however, and Edmund was somehow safe.
The army and advisors were assembled and, that day, they went to war where Edmund acted on impulse. It was an attempt to save his youngest sibling and ended up with the White Witch’s wand breaking. But it didn’t end there. The witch stabbed him with her broken wand, injuring him. Lucy had come to his rescue, however, and used her gift from Father Christmas to save him. When his siblings were sure he was ok, Peter pulled him into a hug. Ever since that day, the bonds between the four siblings were restored.
After winning the war, Edmund was crowned king and ruled alongside his siblings for many Narnian years. They fell back into the normal world one day while lost hunting, though. Tumbling out of the wardrobe, they soon realized how slowly time had passed in the real world.
A year after, the four once again found their way into Narnia. Turned out, it had been hundreds of years in Narnian time and the Pevensies were merely a legend. This time, they did fight in a battle as well. But it was to help Prince Caspian have what was rightfully his: the throne. This succeed and, when they defeat the Telmarines, Aslan gives them the choice of staying in Narnia under Caspian or going back to their original home, Earth. Many decide to go back to Earth and the Pevensies follow them as well, ending up in the train station where the second adventure began.
[Sorry, I know I rushed through the last bit of the history. Hope that’s ok? If not, I can add more to it.]

10) Swimming
11) As much as he’ll hate to admit it: trouble. It’s obviously a two-way love too. [/ul]
dislikes:
fears:Edmond’s biggest fear’s losing his family. It’s even worse if that’s his fault. He’s also afraid of always being the underdog, forever in Peter’s shadow. Rebellion’s his way of preventing that. This just displays how insecure he is.
what makes this character unique. Edmund's the black sheep of his family. While they're all different, I believe he differs the most and especially in the first movie. He stood out and struck me as an interesting character. He also learned a valuable lesson in the movies. Why, you can argue that the first was mostly about him.
RP SAMPLE: ----
“Wake up!! Lucy, Peter, Edmund. Wake-up!!”
The voice sliced through his dreams like a knife cutting bread. Edmund blinked his sleepy eyes open, a yawn following. After massaging them, Ed let his eyes scan the room, picking up the figures of Lucy and Peter absconding dream land. Susan was standing in the middle of the room, busy shaking Lucy who was just about to fall asleep again. Everyone’s hair was a mess, their clothes dirty and full of stains. Sleep was splashed all over their faces and Edmund wondered if he looked the same. Probably. His thoughts were interrupted by Susan. “It’s almost our stop,” she said. “Keep your eyes open.” As a response, Edmond rolled his eyes and buried his face in his hands. Why on earth were they sent to some stranger’s mansion? Let alone a professor ? Had their mother any idea what she was getting them into?
The train was slowing. Curious, Edmund pulled his head out of his hands and glanced out the window. Yup, they were pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Yippee! This was going to be great fun. As though reading his thoughts, Susan turned to him. “Don’t worry, Edmund. It wouldn’t be all horrible.” With that, the train suddenly jerked to a stop. Lucy was the first to run out followed by Peter, Susan and a reluctant Edmund. Well, after some more encouraging from Susan anyways. He seemed to want to sit there, loathing his mother, more than following his siblings.
The train doors snapped shut as soon as Edmund jumped off. With a loud roar, the train then rolled off to leave the children alone at a deserted station. No, seriously, deserted . There was nothing in sight but trees, bushes and a dirt road. In terms of human beings, it was only them, themselves and the Pevensies. He rolled his head towards his elder sister. “It wouldn’t be all horrible, hmmm?” He quoted Susan, “why don’t you try and tell me that in a few hours from now? Maybe it will be true then.” His eyes narrowed to two thin slits before he brushed pass them, strolling downstairs to the side of the road.
