The rest of his family came soon after with the birth of his two brothers, Thane and Alexander, ending with the adoption of their step-sister Samantha.

## Appearance

Edward Creed is a handsome young man in his early twenties with short, ivory colored hair and bangs just long enough to reach his eyes. His head is heart-shaped with a face possessing many features that contribute greatly to the cold aura he tends to radiate. His eyes are a light brown, almost caramel colored with a small nose between them. His eyebrows are thin, barely noticeable underneath his long bangs. An almost permanent scowl sits across his face no matter the occasion, giving him a very uninviting appearance. It should be noted that his left eye is not real, being a piece of technology created by his own hand known as Oculus a device that allows him to read the flow of Ki in others to determine their power level. This device also acts to enhance his vision in that eye, similar to binoculars.

His body consists of an average amount of muscle mass for someone of his height and weight, being approximately six feet four inches and weighing in at one hundred and sixty eight pounds. Due to his average muscle mass, he doesn't possess a lot of defined muscle, making him look somewhat skinny or even malnourished thanks in large part to his very pale skin. A few scars plague his otherwise porcelain skin from his time spent at a Russian prison before his transfer to Nanba. These scars were the result of fights held by guards within the prison in which inmates were put against one another for no other reason than entertainment. Being put up against brutal opponents, even Edward's skill in close combat wasn't enough to spare him from damage.

When first arriving at Nanba, Edwards clothing consisted of the basic black and white striped shirt and pants, however, over time he was able to earn enough IP to improve his and his cellmates living situation by fixing and working on computers under supervision of the guards of course to avoid him hacking into the prison's systems. Once enough IP was Earned, Edward changed his style to that of a white button up with a pair of brown colored pants and dress shoes. Before he came to Nanba, Edward's sense of style varied depending on the job at hand, wearing a black combat suit during fighting of any kind to protect him from debris as well as keeping him hidden while he sniped enemies from afar.

### Ki Abilities

**Blood Manipulation** (血液手捌き, *ketsueki tesabaki*) is a rare and macabre ability that allows the user to manipulate their own blood and the blood found in those around them. They possess the ability to manipulate this blood however they wish in a form of telekinesis, bending and shaping it to their will to create objects such as swords or shields. This is done through a crystallization of the blood being used, the liquid hardening into the shape it was molded into with the possibility of returning to its liquid form at the users will. This crystallization may not be found in the creation of objects like whips. They also possess the ability to form dynamic creations such as animals that can be used to fight on their behalf. Dynamic creations can be powerful allies, acting as distractions or simply devastating their enemies. The creatures created through the use of dynamic blood manipulation do not possess a mind of their own but are also not directly controlled by the user, the creature needing to be given a simple command during its creation. Once created, the creature will do anything in its power to fulfill that command, it being its entire reason for existing, its purpose if you will.

Blood manipulators can induce intense pain in their targets, popping blood vessels in their target's body to the point of killing them if they so wished it. By changing the level of their blood's Ph they can create acidic blood capable of burning through some objects such as weak metals or even strong metals over time.

While the ability can be used to cause harm to others it can also be used to heal them, blood manipulation users possessing an incredible healing factor which allows them to recover from damage faster than those who do not. While this isn't and instant effect, the body of a hemokinesis user will heal faster than someone without such an ability. The body naturally sending white blood cells and other necessary chemicals found in blood that is known for helping heal wounds. The same can be achieved in others if the user so wishes it, manipulating a target's blood in a way that will see to it that they heal at a faster rate than someone without their help. They have also been known to be immune to all toxins and poisons that use the bloodstream to travel through the body, their unique blood cells attacking the toxins before they can cause massive amounts of damage. Regardless of the user's mastery of this ability, one must always remember that they are using their own blood when utilizing this ability. Massive amounts of blood loss can cause the user to succumb to anemia and possibly go into shock. The average human body containing around 1.5 gallons of blood, the loss of two pints having the possibility of sending the user into shock.

## Trivia

Appearance is based on Kaneki Ken from Tokyo Ghoul

Edit by another user who actually watched all of Nanbaka:
This has to be a joke entry or something. There is no Edward in Nanbaka. The guy on the picture doesn't just look like Kaneki. It is Kaneki. And the picture is taken from Tokyo Ghoul.
