Name: Edwin Gault
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Occupation: Freelance Chemist
Race: Human
Affinity: Earth
Birthplace: Kalm
Weapon: Typically, Edwin avoids close combat, however, he has been known to brandish his specimen knife to defend himself. He has also recently taken up a short sword, but hates to drag it around.
Appearance: 6'1"; 120 lbs.; Thin (almost frail); Light Brown Hair, worn semi-short, but never sloppy; Green Eyes; Often wears formal black shirts with formal black pants, with a long white lab coat covering most of it. When he's not wearing the lab coat, he's wearing an elaborate vest of some kind. He sports thin-framed silver spectacles that rest perfectly on him; He wears sturdy, yet stylish, black boots.
Biography:
Occupational History: Edwin worked as an assistant chemist under Hojo of Midgar at age 20. Differences of opinion and a change in dreams led Edwin away from the ShinRa Research Department. He adopted the world as his laboratory, figuratively speaking, of course.
Family: Edwin's father is dead. His mother, however, is still healthily living, though she moves around the world frequently. Edwin's an only child.
Health: Edwin's physical health is fair. He's not overly succeptable to common diseases, but he's often plagued by over-exertion due to his low stamina (though he probably has a potion for it.); His mental health is anyone's guess. It's hard to tell if he's slightly insane, or if he just wants to give off that impression.
Mission: Edwin wants to perfect millions of mixtures, potions, tinctures, theories, and recipes. His driving force is a never-ending need to experiment, therefore, he searches the world for subjects (willing or unwilling).
Special Abilities:
Sense Components: Edwin can sense essential components to his potions. He can't always pin point, but he know the general area. He uses his geographical studies to assist in this skill.
Portable Laboratory: Edwin always carries some level of laboratory with him on his travels.
Array of Potions: Edwin's potions vary. Some of them aren't even named, due to lack of testing. His favorites include:
Potion of Temporary Invisibility: As the name states, you can stay invisible for about ten minutes, unless you willingly dispel the effect.
Teleportation Potion: Simply dropping this potion with the thought of the location will result in instant teleportation. If the location isn't known, the results could be dangerous (though usually just inconvenient.)
Explosive Potion: Once again, this potion's name says what it does. Edwin mostly likes to use it to open up blocked passages, but uses it in self defense, too.
Angel Down: Once used, the potion fortifies the body, causing it to revive upon death (once.). Edwin only had enough components for a few of these, so he's running out.
Edwin has recently gained possession of a trinket described as 'The Violet Soul'. He affectionately refers to it as Lili, though there's no explanation for it. The pendant, a vial with a soul held in it, seems to use magical enchantments to extract the power that resides in this soul. The soul, specifically, seems to carry an aura of vast power.
Edwin's inventing new potions every day, so be wary.
