## Appearances

### Debut

Session 86

Edward Wickerson, affectionately referred to as Ed or Eddie is the '5th' member of Nerovana. A 17 year old boy who was rescued by Nerovana back during the Invasion of Mountalios, he aspired to be heroes just like them. He met them at the New World Adventurer's Guild after Renn Otsutsuri, the 8th member of the Inner Workings mercenary group stole the documents on both the Inner Workings group, and Nerovana in an attempt to hunt them down.

Edward has quickly become a reliable part of the team despite having only assisted during one combat encounter (as of this page's conception). He uses his Innate Spiritual Technique: Photographic Memory to assist the team in locating individuals, and in combat as well.

## Appearance

Edward is a thin young man standing at around 5'10" (or 177 cm). He has light brown eyes, and fluffy, shaggy brown hair that is fashioned in a semi-middle part. His attire often consists of his glasses, a baggy black shirt with tussles at the end, long black leather pants with red cotton suspenders, and a neckerchief / puffer tie. His fingernails are often black, but that is not due to painting them intentionally. He often gets ink on them by accident whilst painting or writing, or may gain the black hue due to the use of Hardening.

Despite his thin, scrawny appearance, Edward is capable of wearing the heavy armor gifted to him by Jesse, albeit with effort during movement. The armor he is now often seen wearing appears to be made up of various different fragments of armor pieced and welded together by Jesse. The armor covers pretty much every part of Edward's body, one of the only visible things behind his eyes, glasses, and eyebrows through the visor.

## Personality

Edward acts like a normal individual, albeit slightly naïve for his age. He is a respectful, nice, and determined young man. He is slightly socially awkward and often pauses or says filler words such as 'uh', 'um', or 'uhm'. He makes up for this with a personality that often draws people in and attaches them to him quickly.

He has undying trust and belief in Nerovana, despite their many supposed crimes, due to the fact they saved his life in Mountalios. His aspiration in life is to be a hero like Nerovana, as in a hero of the people. He does not care about their crimes, as he believes their good deeds outweigh the bad.

## Abilities

### Innate Spiritual Technique

Edward's innate spiritual technique is an ability he has dubbed "Photographic Memory". Anything Edward has seen with his own eyes is permanently cemented into his sub-conscious. Through this, if he channels spiritual energy through his body, he can think of a specific thing or person he has seen whilst placing a pencil / pen / any writing instrument on paper, or anything that can hold the actual drawing. He can draw it without truly remembering what it looked like, as the image of it is in his subconscious.

Also, he is able to draw certain things and replicate qualities of the original. For example, if he paints a cloud and then touches the paper, he can apply it's floating properties to allow him to fly on top of the paper. He also is able to replicate the appearances of people by slapping pieces of paper across himself that are all painted to resemble the person. Oddly enough, the paper seemingly shapes into the form of the person, making him virtually indistinguishable in appearance.

#### Techniques

* **Photographic Memory Flash!:** Edward paints the sun rapidly, spinning it around and replicating it's shine, albeit massively reduced. All this really does is annoy the target.
* **Photographic Memory: Magician's Disappearance!:** Edward unravels a massive portion of paper and paints the area behind him perfectly with every detail. He then simply holds the paper up in front of himself to make himself practically disappear. This only works if the target is directly facing him and doesn't move to his either side, or else the perspective will immediately be ruined.
* **Photographic Memory: Sky God's Flight!:** Edward rips off a piece of paper, rapidly painting a cloud on it. He then replicates it's floating properties, jumping on top of it to float himself up. He can also do it to others to float them up. After a bit, the paper rapidly shreds and disappears.
* **Photographic Reflector!:** Edward rapidly paints a mirror and replicates it's reflective properties. Oddly enough, it doesn't just reflect light alone. It reflects anything that contacts the mirror, including attacks.

#### Equipment

* Renn's Cleaver: After assisting in the fight against Renn with Nerovana, he took Renn's massive cleaver. He discovered that Renn seemingly used a spiritual technique to change it's shape, and so he flooded it with his own spiritual energy, morphing it back to a normal sword. He has yet to figure out how to utilize it's morphing properties yet.
* Patchwork Armor: Armor given to him by Jesse. It is made up of multiple pieces of armor pieced and welded together. It is insanely heavy, and Edward wears it as both defense and a way to try and bulk up. Even after his first time wearing it, he seems to be getting stronger.
