Has your character interacted with the Arehtei before? No.

Why is your character running? Edward has been trying to research the Arehtei off and on since his arrival here. He wants to understand them, what their purpose actually is and what -- if any -- connection they have to them getting back home. It's an intense curiosity that he's had to put by the wayside a couple of times during certain events, but it's always been there. So suffice to say, he's very serious about this. Ed doesn't go into things half assed, ever. It's always the whole ass.

Why should your character be chosen: As someone who is aligned to Sosyne, he's actually quite familiar with the destructive, consuming feeling of anger. He is, afterall, a very angry person himself. However, despite the fact his anger is somewhat used as comic relief at times, Edward still manages to function through it, and in a lot of cases his anger fuels his desire to keep going. Ed's smart enough to know why Sosyne is so overwhelmingly tipped to the side of anger, it's a common and easy emotion to get swept up in. He's been there, bro.

It's not that Ed doesn't have his calmer, introspective, and somber moments either. He definitely does have those moments when they're needed -- Ed may be a lot of things, and say and do shit at inappropriate times that gets him into trouble, but he does at least recognize the need for control at times. It's just... hard to do.

Edward is also stubborn enough not to give up on the angry whale either, so it's kind of like the immovable force meeting the unstoppable object. At some point there will have to be some sort of give, and the both of them could possibly walk away with having worked through at least some of their baggage. Nothing involving Sosyne is going to happen overnight, so someone like Edward who's stubborn enough to sit through it couldn't hurt right? He'll just have to learn to be a bit more patient along with that stubbornness.

It might just do Sosyne good to go through working with her anger and finding her calmness along with someone, rather than them waiting for her at the finish line.

Challenge preferences: I would prefer something that was less physically oriented and more oriented towards his own rather explosive temper. He can definitely rise to physical challenges but the latter is something that would actually give him a challenge.

Extra + Questions: Bring it, Sosyne.
