Though the gym provides some much needed stress relief he is still limited to feats any in decent shape 20 something male could achieve.<br/><em>Caffeine Addiction</em>- A few hours without coffee or one of those stupid energy shots and he starts to get twitchy.  This both compounds and helps overcome the lack of sleep problem.<br/><br/><strong>Personality/Motivations:</strong><br/>Driven.  Eddy is sick of people who just accept the current state of the world, he is determined to make a difference, one person at a time if need be.  Despite being exposed daily to flaws in both people and the system as well as coming to the realization that he can't save everyone he's still young and idealistic enough to think it worthwhile and thus far has shown no indications of returning to his former life. He does his best to make sure that people don’t recognize him not wanting the special treatment or condescension that his family name might buy him from people.  Still has quite a bit of survivor's guilt to work through.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>The Hughes family is fairly well known in New York (or whatever city we’re setting this in) they have a history of not just making money but keeping it, sometimes through means whose legality was in question.  Eddy was on track to keep up that tradition, early admission into Columbia where he would get a business degree, just like the previous two who bore his name.  That was the plan at least.<br/>Heading in after celebrating his 19th birthday things changed.  A nearby car backfired and his girlfriend crumpled to the sidewalk.  No not a car, a gunshot, he was drunk enough that those dots didn’t connect until he saw the dark pool of blood spreading around her.  By the time the paramedics showed up it was too late for her.  Everyone said it wasn’t his fault despite the literal blood on his hands.  Hell they weren’t even in a ‘bad’ part of town.  Random violence, these things happen.<br/>Except they shouldn’t.  He threw himself into school, double majoring and branching into social work.  He then convinced his father to start the Hughes Foundation which would focus on cutting down on gang violence by opening a series of homes and community outreach projects through the city. Since graduating he technically works for the Foundation, a mixture of fund raising and paper pushing, but much to his father’s dismay he actually insists on doing casework and volunteering extensively in his free time. The elder Edmund is convinced that this is a phase for his son and he'll accept the good press and rather colossal tax break for now.<br/><br/><strong>RP Thoughts:</strong>Easily connected to any ‘normal’ kids in the area who might gravitate toward the escapees.  Also could interact with them when outside of their new base of operations, especially if he sees them repeatedly in the area since he tries to stay on top of things and their arrival definitely causes a power shift.<br/><br/><strong>Resources:</strong>A great deal of money if need be.  Though technically his pay is not great there is that trust fund that’s just sitting there.  Has some discretion over Foundation funds, and there’s always daddy if desperate. Car though he often walks/uses public transportation. Extensive social and professional network (its amazing how many doors money opens). Fully modernized townhouse, access to multiple properties in the city and outside it for that matter.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>Though he preaches the whole non-violence card Eddy’s not completely stupid.  He has a concealed weapons permit and is a decent enough shot.<br/><br/><strong>Writing Sample:</strong>Eat me.<br/><br/><strong>Played By:</strong>RampantDesires
