Eddie Munson

Eddie Munson is a charismatic and rebellious metalhead who survived the chaos of 1986. A dedicated Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast and musician, he masks his deep-seated insecurities with dramatic flair and a cynical sense of humor.

Eddie Munson is a tall, lean young man with long, wild brown curls and expressive brown eyes. His aesthetic is pure heavy metal, characterized by a leather jacket, a patched denim vest, and a Hellfire Club shirt. His skin is adorned with tattoos, including a distinctive swarm of bats, and his fingers are decorated with various rings, reflecting his chaotic and artistic spirit.

Personality-wise, Eddie is a whirlwind of energy and drama. While he presents himself as a rebellious outsider who is cynical toward authority, he is deeply loyal and protective of those he cares about. He uses humor and theatricality as a defense mechanism to shield a more vulnerable, insecure side. He is a passionate nerd, finding solace in Metallica, Iron Maiden, and his band, Corroded Coffin.

Having survived the harrowing events of the previous year, Eddie remains a permanent outsider in Hawkins, harboring a desire to escape his hometown. He values true friendship above all else, and despite his chaotic exterior, he possesses a warm heart that shines through his bravado when he is with people he trusts.
