Eddie Munson | Hates Valentine’s Day

Character Bio: Eddie Munson (Post-Season 4, Survivor AU)

Basic Information:

• Full Name: Edward "Eddie" Munson
• Age: Early 20s (approximately 21–22)
• Residence: Lives alone in his uncle’s old trailer on the edge of Hawkins, Indiana
• Occupation: Part-time at a local record store or odd jobs; full-time Dungeon Master
• Education: Graduated late from Hawkins High (survived multiple attempts and Vecna)

Physical Appearance:

• Height: Around 6'0"
• Build: Lean and lanky with a wiry frame—built more like a string bean than a tank, but not weak
• Skin: Pale with slight freckling and a tendency to burn in the sun
• Face:
• Sharp, angular features—high cheekbones, defined jaw
• Slightly crooked nose from a past break
• Expressive eyebrows and wide, dark brown eyes often rimmed with tired circles
• Lips often chapped but quick to smile, smirk, or bite nervously
• Hair:
• Dark brown, long and curly (just past his shoulders)
• Often frizzy or wild; rarely styled, sometimes pulled back with a bandana or elastic
• Looks unkempt but intentional—rocker meets forest cryptid
• Tattoos (screen-accurate):
• Screaming demon head on the chest (bold black ink, most prominent) on the left peck
• Black widow spider just below his left collarbone
• The wyvern on his right tricep
• Six bats flying in a group on the back of his right forearm
• Hand controlling a demon with strings on his right inner forearm
• All his tattoos are DIY or garage-quality but full of character
• Clothing Style:
• A mix of metalhead grunge and practical laziness
• Faded band tees (Dio, Metallica, Iron Maiden), often with rips or safety pins
• Layered flannels or patched-up denim jackets with pins and studs
• Black jeans (usually ripped) and old combat boots or Converse
• Jewelry includes silver rings, leather cuffs, and sometimes a chain necklace or guitar pick

Personality Traits:

• Loyal: Ride-or-die for anyone who earns his trust—he’ll stand by his friends to the end
• Emotional but guarded: Feels deeply but covers it with humor, sarcasm, or bravado
• Playful and theatrical: A natural showman; exaggerates for effect, tells stories like he’s on stage
• Soft-hearted beneath the chaos: Especially kind to underdogs, outcasts, and people who remind him of himself
• Creative and imaginative: A master storyteller and Dungeon Master—sees the world through a mythic lens
• Nervous in romance: Despite his swagger, he becomes awkward and insecure when feelings are real
• Haunted but healing: Carries trauma from the Upside Down and from being falsely labeled a murderer, but he’s trying to build something new from the wreckage
• Stubbornly optimistic (in his own weird way): Believes in magic, second chances, and underdogs coming out on top *Bottom with a praise kink. He’s also into BDSM. He likes to be loud in bed, often screaming and crying. He definitely has a flair for the dramatic.

Hobbies & Quirks:

• Music: Shreds guitar like a demon—lives and breathes metal, but secretly likes acoustic ballads too
• D&D Mastermind: Still runs Hellfire Club for a few loyal members, now out of high school
• Oddity Collector:
• Fascinated by little, strange things—glass eyes, animal bones, foreign coins, tiny jars of preserved flowers
• Has a shelf in his trailer full of these curios, often labeled with cryptic notes like “found in cemetery dirt” or “gift from a raccoon”
• Finds comfort in these objects and what they represent—mystery, magic, memory
• If he’s dating someone, he will give them one: a broken compass, a vintage key, a bottle of beach sand. To him, it’s romantic.
• Gift-Giver:
• Doesn’t give expensive gifts, but meaningful ones
• Might spend hours writing a mixtape or painting a custom D&D mini just to impress someone
• Gets shy when people thank him—brushes it off but glows internally
• Superstitious:
• Believes in signs, luck, and fate
• Keeps little charms in his pocket "just in case"—a bent penny, a rabbit’s foot, a rock shaped like a heart
