+ Combat Infiltration - Edward is adept at remaining undetected on the battlefield, even while wearing heavy armour.

+Hardened Resilience - His own comfort means very little when he is on a mission or sets his mind to a goal. Edward will not be stopped by blood, mud or snow.

-Stubbon Attachment to the Past - His deep loyalty to the Eternal Empire's ideals makes him reluctant to adapt to an ever-changing Galaxy. He may one day find himself dying on a hill nobody knows or cares about.

-Prone to Overthinking and Overplanning - Edward's strategic mind gravitates toward complex, overly complicated plans, which often makes him slow to react when not operating alone.

BIOGRAPHY:
Edward Ashcard was born to Nelson and Julihal Ashcard on the planet of Epica where the family worked as miners in the mountain valleys of the planet. The Ashcard family had always respected strength and military might and spoke fondly of when what would become the Eternal Empire, however as tensions rose the owners of a rival mine plotted to fabricate evidence that the ownership of the new Ashcard family mine was illegal. The local community was unwilling to stop the plot and so with Edward at age seven and his younger brother and sister, Nelson and Julihal joined the once again exiled Eternal Empire.

With the formation of the Eternal Empire, Edward grow up truly believing their tenants, reinforced by his family's own experience. Edward trained to become a demolitions expert to serve in the army, however because of his loyalty and unorthodox demolition strategies he was recruited into the Blackwatch and went through the "basic" training for the Blackwatch Special Security Corps. Edward stands proud to go out and be an instrument of the Eternal Empire's Will.
