Ed Manning District 4 Finished

He is not like most people in the district. He doesn't like to wear shorts or short shirts. He likes to wear pants, no matter the weather. He will always wear a jacket, not a normal jacket. It would always be one with a hood. He carries a back pack on him all the time. It is a part of him almost. It goes with every outfit he wears.

He likes to wear jewelry most of the time. But not the shiny stuff you would find on anyone. He has nylon rope tied with a little tooth or a small round object. He likes to keep it out of the ordinary so he can keep track of his own stuff. He has a few tattoos on his arms and legs. They are of snowflakes, puzzle pieces and trees. They are suppose to signify something, but he doesn't know yet. He also wears a bracelet on his right wrist.

He also carries random other objects around with him from time to time. But the one object he loves to carry is his guitar. It is a small one, with six strings. It has a strap that is made out of leather. The guitar has a paw print painted onto it. It also has a small hear on the lower left painted on to symbolize his love.

Ed is a serious person most of the time. He likes to focus on his job at hand and never sway from it as much as he can. He doesn't see the fun in talking while doing a job. He rather get it done then let it drag on and on. When he is working he will turn quiet, a lot of the time it is to get it done. He is thorough with everything he does. He is a responsible person also.

He has a very well-developed power of concentration. When he gets his guitar, that is what he will focus on. Trying to learn something or get something perfected. He promoted tradition a lot to himself, from the district and his family. He is dependable to himself, his family, and anyone else that asks him for help.

At times he can get a little semidetached from society. He starts to think some people do not exist and start talking to him. He will completely change a conversation at times, it never happens when he wants. Just a random coincidence on his end. He is good at doing practical problems. He also loves to try and help others with finding feelings, or any problems they have. He tries to be the go to guy.

From the beginning of his life, Ed was a decent kid. He never really got into major trouble. From time to time he would do something bad like most kids. He did mature a lot quicker then a lot of the people around him. He hit puberty around the age of nine. He started to grow more and other things happened. At the age of 12 he started to get facial hair. Not much, but enough that people noticed from time to time.

At the age of twelve he started to show a interest in music. Since most kids showed interest in the ocean he became the oddball a lot of the time. Every night for the next few years he would attempt to learn the guitar. So that he could try and impress some of his friends and a few girls. But he never was able to impress the ladies that he liked. At the age of sixteen he was given a necklace from his dieing grand father. It represented the strength and perseverance in himself.

The following year his family started to go down hill a little. His father had come down with a illness that caused a lot of problems for them. Money became a problem and food became scarce also. Ed tried to turn his guitar playing into a way to earn money from random people, but no one ever showed interest in him. He tried to get a job on a ship but he never lasted on it because sometimes he would not fit in with the crew. His dad eventually died from the illness since they could never get treatment for it. His mother started doing a lot of the labor around the house. Ed started coming down with a case of depression from his fathers passing. He now carries his guitar with him everywhere, in memory of his father because it was him who gave it to him for his sixteenth birthday.
