History:
Unlike the quiet, fair Captain, Edwin Finch is wild and rarely thinks before he acts. He's a whirlwind of parties and drinking, living in the moment and giving no thought to the future. He trusts Jasper completely, however he's often having to push the older boy out of his comfort zone in order to go anywhere. Although a little out of control, he's not selfish or unkind, rather the opposite. He's compassionate and affectionate, and the younger children idolise him as he is always able to make them laugh. He was born to two fisherman, who both went to sea and never came back a year before Edwin convinced his best friend to lead the orphans to sea.
Edwin, look at him spontaneously combust all over the place, maybe it might not have happened if someone had been there to contain it, but he's always been such a whirlwind, you couldn't have if you'd tried. His personality is so overbearing, you'd think he'd want to be captain himself. Truthfully, he's always been wholeheartedly against responsibility of any kind, as it makes him feel nauseous and a little bit too much relied upon. You could say he's sort of afraid of relying on anyone, ever since his parents left him all alone, when he trusted them to come home. If there's one person that Edwin does trust however, it's Jasper. Jasper, who he's always pushing and pushing because he hates the fact that he's such a goody goody. he hates his mewling for adventure, and then he never reaches for it. Edwin's goal in life is to make Jasper have fun, which Edwin feels that he seldom does.
Edwin's idea of fun is also something that Jasper never seems to get. He carries a queer sense of guilt somewhere below his abdomen, that maybe shouldn't be altogether his, but he labels it his own anyway. That mixed with overpowering feelings that shouldn't be felt abut the people he is closest to, drive him into a spiral. To slip away from it, he found himself slipping his hands into a retinue of new tastes, and things. Altogether, he finds life much easier when he doesn't have to think. Therefore, why bother? Most decisions are made with altogether no thought, which often lands him into sticky situations that Jasper has to fish him out of.
Edwin Isn't an idiot, although some may think that way. There's a reason his brothers look up to him, and it isn't simply for that charismatic grin that pulls at his lips all too often. He's smart, and he has good ideas. You could call him an ideas guy. He once made a lamp out of three pieces of glass, some rope, and a stick. Although he can't be relied on most of the time, when you really need it, he's there and ready within the blink of an eye. he grew up on the ocean, fishing with his parents, so he knows a lot about boats as well, and often refers to the boat like she's a living, breathing, thing. Most think he does this because he's so out of it, but it's simply a respectful thing that his parents taught him to do.
He does a lot fo things that his parents did, copying them because he's afraid he'll forget them.
Codeword: ODAIR
I WAS BORN ON A BOAT, AYE, I WAS. LOL SURVIVOR'S GUILT AND THING SI GUESS. THE REST IS A MYSTERY.
