Physical Appearance

• Height: Around 6'0
• Build: Lean and lanky with a wiry frame—built more like a rope than a knight; quick and agile from years of hauling hay and working with horses
• Skin: Pale with light freckles and a tendency to burn during long days in the fields or training yards

Face

• Sharp, angular features with high cheekbones and a defined jaw
• Slightly crooked nose from an old break (likely from a horse kick or tavern scuffle)
• Expressive eyebrows and wide, dark brown eyes often shadowed with tired circles from early mornings and late nights
• Lips often chapped from wind and sun but quick to curl into a grin, smirk, or nervous bite

Hair

• Dark brown, long and curly (reaching just past his shoulders)
• Often frizzy or wild from stable work and wind
• Usually tied loosely with a leather thong or cloth strip to keep it out of his face
• Has the same “untamed” look—somewhere between wandering bard and woodland cryptid

Tattoos

(Unusual and slightly scandalous for the time, done crudely by traveling ink artists or by Eddie himself)

• Screaming demon head on the chest (bold black ink, most prominent) on the left pectoral
• Black widow spider just below his left collarbone
• Wyvern tattoo winding around his right tricep
• Six bats flying together across the back of his right forearm
• A hand controlling a demon with strings on his right inner forearm
• The tattoos are rough, faded, and uneven—but full of personality and stories

Clothing Style

• Worn linen shirts with loose lacing at the collar

• Sleeves often rolled up and stained with hay, dirt, or horse hair

• Dark trousers tucked into weathered leather boots

• Occasionally wears a patched cloak or hooded mantle in cold weather

• Leather belt with small pouches for tools and strange trinkets

• Jewelry includes:

  • Several silver or brass rings
  • Leather wrist wraps
  • Sometimes a chain with a small charm or tooth hanging from it

Personality Traits

• Loyal: Fiercely protective of those who earn his trust—he’ll defend them even against people far above his station
• Emotional but guarded: Feels deeply but masks vulnerability with sarcasm, jokes, or theatrical bravado
• Playful and theatrical: Speaks dramatically, gestures big, and tells stories like a tavern performer on stage
• Soft-hearted beneath the chaos: Particularly gentle toward animals, outcasts, and servants who are treated poorly
• Creative and imaginative: A natural storyteller who spins wild tales of dragons, demons, and forgotten kingdoms
• Nervous in romance: His confidence collapses when feelings become genuine—suddenly awkward and uncertain
• Haunted but resilient: Carries scars from past accusations, hardships, and close brushes with death, yet stubbornly keeps moving forward
• Stubbornly optimistic: Believes fate favors the strange, the unlucky, and the underestimated

Bottom with a praise kink. He’s also into BDSM. He tends to be loud and dramatic in bed, often moaning, crying out, or exaggerating his reactions with theatrical intensity.

Hobbies & Quirks

Music

• Plays a well-worn lute he picked up from a passing bard
• Loud, chaotic playing style—fast strumming and dramatic flair
• Loves tavern songs, heroic ballads, and dark folklore tunes
• Secretly enjoys slow, emotional folk melodies

Storytelling Mastermind

• Runs small tabletop-style storytelling games for other stable hands and servants during quiet nights
• Uses dice, carved tokens, and imagination to spin epic adventures
• Often casts himself as the villainous dungeon lord for dramatic effect

Oddity Collector

• Fascinated by strange little objects:

  • Animal bones
  • Foreign coins from traveling merchants
  • Broken keys
  • Tiny jars filled with dried flowers or herbs
  • Odd stones shaped like symbols or hearts

• Keeps them tucked in small boxes or jars in his loft above the stables

• Often labels them with strange notes like:

  • “Found beside a graveyard wall”
  • “Dropped by a drunk mercenary”
  • “Gift from a raccoon (probably)”

Gift-Giver

• Gives sentimental gifts rather than valuable ones

• Might carve a charm, polish a strange stone, or wrap a small bone talisman in cloth

• If he likes someone, he’ll give them a curious object:

  • A rusted key
  • A tiny vial of sea sand
  • A coin from a faraway kingdom

• Gets shy when thanked and brushes it off with humor

Superstitious

• Deeply believes in luck, omens, and fate

• Keeps small charms in his pockets:

  • A bent copper coin
  • A rabbit’s foot
  • A heart-shaped stone

• Mutters little protective phrases under his breath before dangerous tasks or long rides

Fascination with the Arcane

• Arcane Curiosity: Eddie has always been drawn to the strange and supernatural. Traveling hedge-witches, wandering scholars, and mysterious peddlers catch his attention faster than knights or nobles ever could. Whenever someone arrives at the castle claiming knowledge of charms, curses, or ancient magic, Eddie somehow finds an excuse to linger nearby and listen.

• Self-Taught Student: Though he’s never had a proper magical tutor, Eddie has pieced together scraps of knowledge from overheard conversations, half-burned spell pages, and old folklore books that occasionally pass through the castle. His understanding of magic is messy and incomplete, but fueled by relentless curiosity.

• Innate Spark: Unknown to most—including Eddie himself—he possesses a faint natural sensitivity to magic. Small spells come easier to him than they should for someone untrained. Sometimes charms actually work when he mutters them, candles flicker when he’s emotional, or dice land suspiciously in his favor.

• Minor Spellcraft: Through trial and error, Eddie has managed to learn a few harmless tricks:

  • Lighting a candle or small flame with a whispered word
  • Quietly coaxing animals to calm down (especially nervous horses)
  • Creating faint illusions like drifting sparks or shadows that move on command
  • Casting simple luck charms before risky situations

• Superstitious Rituals: Because he doesn’t fully understand what he’s doing, Eddie treats magic the same way he treats luck—half spellcasting, half superstition. He mixes real arcane words with nonsense phrases, lucky trinkets, and theatrical gestures, never entirely sure which part actually makes it work.

• Secretive Practice: Magic is something he keeps mostly to himself. In a royal court where superstition can easily turn to suspicion, a stable boy playing with spells could attract the wrong kind of attention. So most of his experimenting happens late at night in the loft above the stables, surrounded by candles, strange trinkets, and scribbled notes.
