Brief History:
Eduard was born and raised in the capital of Estonia to two fairly independent parents. His father was known for his work in the IT industry and his mother mostly wrote. Encouraged by whatever interests he had, he read everything he could get his hands on when he was younger and eventually decided that he was about as interested in computers as his dad. However, he was determined to do something different since he had captured an interest in some of the online games he played as a teenager and eventually plans on doing something in that field, more than likely programming since he had done most of his studies in that field.
As a child, he was mostly on the introverted side and thus didn't have a lot of friends. In fact, people tended to pick on him but he would avoid them mostly, keeping his head in a book. He didn't much have too much of a social life until maybe late secondary school, entering university. It was only then, he was a bit more comfortable talking to people without thinking that others wouldn't tease him or annoy him too much.
Since graduating, he's been mostly supporting himself, occasionally traveling the world since it had been one of the things he's wanted to do in addition to his career.
Personality:
Eduard probably seems a bit too serious when you meet him. Or at least a bit formal. He's reserved and can come off as rather distant. But despite this, he can be a pretty nice guy to know. If you get him interested in something, he will talk somewhat excitedly and then immediately apologize for rambling. As once he actually has something that he thinks is worth saying, he will say it completely. He's usually quite polite and collected preferring to be composed whenever something comes his way. Once around someone he's comfortable with, he can be more relaxed. He tends to have a bit of sardonic sense of humor, occasionally saying one-liners . Because of his difficulty with getting to know people, he tends to lean towards the melancholic side of things but he is definitely not one to tell anyone about it and is somewhat used to being on his own. He's rather inexperienced with any kind of romance and sometimes wonders if he's capable of it at all.
Appearance:
Eduard is a somewhat tall individual about 5'10-5'11 to be a little more exact. Though his lankyness makes him look even taller. He has a slightly awkward build as his limbs look somewhat too long for him though he seems to wear it fairly well. He has light dull blonde hair that is in some sort of bowl-cut like shape. He's a bit ambivalent about that style since he figures any other haircut would look fairly absurd on him though he tries to messy it up a bit more these days in contrast to the strict neat look that he sported when he was younger. He has blue-greenish eyes though the green seems a bit more apparent. He doesn't put on much weight and it's a wonder that he's not underweight but just rather on the leaner side for someone his height. He has a particularly striking smile.
Fashion Style:
Eduard doesn't seem to keep much account of fashion though he does try to look presentable. He usually wears open-button shirts with tshirts underneath and jeans when just hanging out or working at home. But when he has to leave the house he wears quite a few vests, dress shirts, the occasional blazer all in combination with slacks or jeans (boot-cut usually) depending on where he has to go. Sometimes he'll incorporate more trendy pieces that he sees into his wardrobe but for the most part he dresses to be comfortable and to not look too ridiculous.
Goals:
- Travel more: He plans on seeing most of the world.
- Join a game development team: He doesn't much care if it's overseas or within his homeland, he just wants to be a part of a great gaming company one day.
-Maybe build more of a social life. He's not sure how he's going to work that out. Perhaps the traveling will help.
Secret:
Eduard has been quite lonely at times and he genuinely just doesn't know what to do about it. He tries to prepare himself for the fact that he'll probably end up alone. He hopes that his life in that respect would turn out differently but he's not putting too much faith in that dream.
Other:
Eduard likes to write the occasional science-fiction story. They tend to come out surprisingly well. Not that he often shows people or anything. He really likes to sing and play piano( as well as keyboard) and has a pretty good singing voice, yet another thing he keeps quite private.
RP Sample:
From a school AU:
Sunshine came in through the windows as the young man drearily sat up in bed. Rubbing his eyes, his view was a little bit blurry as he began to get up. A few seconds later, his alarm clock went off. Arising from the bed, he pressed snooze on the clock and went to prepare himself. Eduard didn't mind getting up but it always took him a minute to get oriented to his surroundings. He dressed quickly as his clothing was prepared the evening before and put on his glasses so he could see more clearly. He barely looked in the mirror in the morning, he knew that his appearance was neat and organized, just like most of his other aspects. He ate a small breakfast, consisting of fruit and a glass of water. He took a moment to think about what he had to make sure he got accomplished. He checked his watch a few times, can't be late he thought.Eduard went through his checklist silently: bag, laptop, glasses, notebook; making sure he was up to speed. He couldn't forget anything, else he'd be rushing back to get it to avoid being late. He couldn't risk being late, not now, not ever. Grabbing his laptop, and his bag, he went to head out. Another day of school, he wondered what was going to happen today.
..Hours later, he returned thoroughly exhausted. He had went through all of his classes, trying his best to avoid trouble. However, even then he knew he probably wouldn't be so lucky every now and again. Still, today managed to be rather peaceful so he had reason to relax now. So he did what he always did, put on some nice music and logged on his computer. Having finished his assignments earlier, he was free to work on the various projects that accompany his programming hobby. This latest one would be free of bugs..at least he would hope so. Otherwise it could be hours before he would be able to completely fix the errors. Once one thing was found, he would have to go back and check for other small things that probably wouldn't be detected but would be irritating him otherwise.
Finally having taken his mind off of the project long enough to eat some dinner and a small slice of cake that he had picked up earlier in the week, Eduard started to head to bed, changing into his nightshirt. Of course, he took his laptop with him so that he could still work on another project right before getting some rest. He had read that it wasn't good to have exposure to electronics right before bed but if only they knew the great things that he was doing, surely he wouldn't regret it too much in the morning. He usually never did. Nonetheless after a few more lines of code that he had entered, enough was enough. Eduard really didn't need to be up later the eleven at night. He remembered the last time he'd stayed up too late and how it threw off his schedule completely in the morning. Shuttering at the thought of possibly oversleeping, he turned off his laptop, cut off his lamp and curled up in bed.
