What's your character's full name? Edmund Fraser Laroche

What's your favorite quote from you're character? "Just because you don't know now, it doesn't mean that you will never know, so you ought not lose hope as you never know what the next sunrise will bring."

What do they look like and what's their personality like? This young chap's chestnut hair is always in a state of disarray, rarely bothering to take the time to make it in any degree orderly, even after it almost reached his shoulder, though there was admittedly more insensitive lost as following a misadventure he was required to shave the left side of his head, not that this is all too obvious under his slightly battered top hat. His dark brown eyes seem to hold a dull disinterest that may not match what his body language may suggest. He dresses rather simply, black waistcoat over a white shirt with the top button undone and trousers that almost matched the waistcoat. What is all that remarkable about him, however, is the presence of several flowers that seem to be growing from his waistcoat pocket and rim of his hat, which move about at their own will. He is rather introverted, preferring to be more of a passive observer than actively contribute to things he deems unnecessary. This said, his presence mustn't be wholly unpleasant as he isn't without friends. He is content with simply conversing with his plants for hours on end, and he insists the conversation is returned.

What's their backstory before they came to the society? Edmund would call his children rather mundane and ordinary, the most notable aspect coming from the neat little park and even that was not all that exciting. Things changed, however, when he was seventeen and had a stall of perfectly ordinary flowers that he sold at the Sunday market when an enthusiastic stranger of vibrant gold hair, sapphire eyes and a scar tearing up the right side of his cheek told him he was "Awful borin' in every thinkable way!" before practically dragging him along with him. This odd fellow that had dragged Edmund from his life of repetitive monotony was the cryptozoology - or at least studying at the time - Aiden Grimmelkin. It was this that had led to his interest in a similar field, cryptobotany.

Do you have any pictures of them that you drew or found?

Do they have any nicknames? None that he is aware of.

What do they study at the society? Cryptobotany - study of plants that cannot be confirmed as existent or not.

Do they have any jobs? He keeps up the habit of selling ordinary flowers on the Sunday, and often Aiden drags him off on some adventure or another after come creature that would surely kill them as soon as look at them.

What is their age? 25

Are they human? If not what are they? He is entirely human, thank you very much.

Are they single, dating someone, or married? People have questioned him about the precise nature of his relationship with his friend, but assures us that he is single and content with this state.

What's their height? 5'9" he believes.

What's their weight? Though he isn't entirely sure, it would likely be between 65kg and 75kg.

Anything else I should know about this character? He entirely needs more sleep than he gets, makes a large portion of his expeditions alone.

Let's hope I did all this correctly haha

(( Hello! I'd have Oscar welcome Edmund into the Society, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. I'd be happy for Ezekiel or Oscar to meet your character soon, though! :D

Edmund sounds very interesting, I'm sure he'll feel right at home at the Society. However we usually write an introductory paragraph describing the character knocking at the doors of the Society, so the other characters can welcome them in. Here's mine as an example:

Ezekiel walked up the steps of the Society for Arcane Sciences, dragging his suitcase behind him. Eyes wide, he stared up at the huge building in awe. Although it had seen some substantial fire damage, it was still a building that commanded respect somehow. He walked to the doors slowly, his whole body aching from his train journey. He hadn’t slept in days.

Ez raised his hand to the wood of the door and knocked three times. He hoped someone would let him in.

“Hello?”

(( This is an door knockery starter fun times so, like, feel free engage or whatever! Up to you! ))

The sun was just beginning to cast it's rosy glow upon the pristine - and the not so much - streets as dusk crept it's way into the world. This also suggested that it really had been far too long since Edmund had properly slept, not that this was a new occurrence, mind you. With a suitcase that seemed disproportionately light, and, more troubling, seeming to hold a twitching something in one hand, he used his free to knock upon the door of his destination. His destination was, of course, the building for the Arcane - read 'mad' - Sciences.
