Edwin ne pouvait s'empêcher de ne pas se sentir excité par le déploiement à venir. Il sentit son corps se préparer à l'action, sentant la même sensation qu'il faisait toujours en attendant. Ses poils de cou se levaient, son coeur battait plus vite que jamais et il tremblait un peu
C'est ce que j'ai dit. Il y avait une tempête qui venait et Edwin allait la saluer avec des bras ouverts.
Non seulement son corps était préparé, mais aussi son équipement était comme en état de pleine disponibilité. Portant sa vieille armure shabby et muni d'un fusil de sniper à la main, il était prêt à tout ce que les moissonneurs pouvaient lui lancer.
Edwin a compté nerveusement chaque seconde jusqu'à son déploiement, essayant de soulager ses nerfs, mais ça n'a pas beaucoup aidé. Seul un moyen fiable de se calmer serait une cigarette ou deux, mais fumer n'était pas pratique avec le casque, sans parler du fait qu'ils étaient interdits sur la plupart des vaisseaux. Il ne pouvait qu'attendre et espérer qu'attendre ne le rendrait pas fou.
Le moment où le navire s'est installé et les ennemis ont commencé à tirer était comme un appel de réveil à Edwin. Il est devenu une autre personne. Ses nerfs s'étaient calmés et il s'est finalement senti compté. Ce n'est que lorsqu'il était sous le feu et que sa vie était sur le bord, Edwin se sentait vraiment vivant. Je suis rentré chez moi.
Il dirigea l'arme vers les ennemis, jeta un court coup d'œil à travers sa portée et tira. Le premier cannibale était tombé avec la tête percée. Quelques secondes plus tard et un second cannibale en jachère, tirant dans l'œil. Edwin n'a pensé à aucun de ses coups, tirer était plus comme un réflexe musculaire que l'intention pour lui.
Il voulait faire quelques coups de feu, mais la situation est devenue trop grave. Il a décidé de se cacher derrière deux caisses. "Quel est le plan, patron?" il a demandé, étonnamment sans dépit.
Name: Edwin Bellard
Appearance:
There is no way for anyone, unless he walks in crowd of bloodthirsty krogans, to unnoticing Edwin. He looks like all the most dangerous districts in Omega summed into short framed, blonde package. His face looks like an indecent compromise between handsome, somewhat boyish appearance and look of hardened veteran with differently colored eyes (one is green, other blue) carrying glassy look of someone who saw too much in too little time, little bit deformed nose (reminder of quite literal face to face experience with krogan) and mouth crooked in derisive grin, all the that topped by wild nest of pale blond hair. Most of the time he covers his face with black helmet with stylish picture of turian (nothing personal) skull.
Rest of his body is covered in armor of same sort and from many scratches and dents it´s easy to figure out, that armor served its purpose for long time.
Race: Human
Age: 35
Biotic ability: none
Biography:
Edwin had rich childhood, literally. His father earned great fortune from import of alien goods for Alliance and Edwin had all everything he ever wanted. His father wanted him to be politician or business man like himself, and hired best personal teachers he could find. But Edwin, unlike his siblings (he had two of them, older brother and younger sister), was never interested in things like school or wealth. Why bother with office work when there is whole galaxy to see, he often said. He wanted to deal with alien cultures (but not only in business matters like his father) and explore surface of foreign planets. With idealistic mind such as his, it was no surprise when he joined Alliance military forces. His family did not take it too well. He became black sheep and his dad even disinherited him. Edwin didn´t care, he had goal to achieve.
Military training was tough, but he made it through with notable record making him top material for special forces and his future looked once again bright. Even if soldier´s life was a lot less about adventure and lot more about drill, he enjoyed his new career. His few first deployments against batarian pirates in Terminus system were huge success and after while he made his name among other soldiers.
Everything changed when command send his team to find and eliminate batarian slaver, hiding in old turian outpost. Edwin and his tame were able to get there with little to no fuss, but once they found the Slaver mission turned into bloodbath. Edwin´s team was outnumbered and what was worse, outpost served as "storage room" for human "cargo.
Only Edwin survived. All of his teammates were dead, slavers and slaves met the same destiny. Only Edwin survived, and it had broken him. No longer he could serve in military, being forced to retire. He tried to reestablish contacts with his family, trying to get a decent civil job, but it didnt last long. He trained to fight and it was only thing he could do. He ended up in Omega as one of many guns for hire. He worked for everyone with enough credits and soon earned a reputation of reliable and efficient freelancer.
He had several invitations to join Blue suns, Eclipse or even Blood pack (what would make him first human member) gang, but he never gave up his individuality. He always worked alone, until offer from Consortium came. Nobody knows why did he accepted it, maybe it was because he saw threat of reapers, or because of the pile of credits they promised to him , but soon enough, he found himself aboard.
Personality:
Edwin is a cocky bastard, and that only when he has his better days. Most of the time, he is a living commercial for bad habits. Pure cynicism mixed with cheap booze, cigarette smoke and a burning hatred for authority.
However, in action his old soldier´s instincts kick in and he becomes a completely different person. Once he is fully focused on mission, there is only a few things that could stop him from achieving it.
His trust is not easy to gain but he himself is as trustworthy as a mercenary can be, never breaking his deal or betraying his employer as long as terms of his deal stay unchanged.

Position: mercenary, combat specialist
As a former member of special forces, Edwin is best at fast deployments where are his combat efficiency and surgical accuracy required most . Sabotages, assassinations and hit-and-run actions are his specialty and its needless to say he is very good at his work, even if little bit rusty.
