Faceclaim/Voiceclaim
Voiceclaim (???) We can't help it if we're working class yobs,
And we can't help it if we hate the snobs
Summary
♫ Excitable, impulsive, loud ♫
A young Cockney punk who is always full of energy, and more often than not, alcohol.
Appearance
Eddie has a thin, lanky body, with long arms and legs. His dark hair looks like a mess, but in actuality is straight and thin; he uses lots of gel to get it at just the right amount of flair that his punk idols would be proud of. His favourite outfit is inspired by the subcultures he finds the best; a thin black vest, jeans with turn-ups, and his prized black Dr Martens boots, which he shines almost daily. He wears gold hoop earrings on both earlobes. He has a thin, pointy nose, large bright blue eyes, expressive eyebrows, and a big mouth (figuratively and literally). He is 5'6".
Personality
A real go-getter, Eddie is the kind of kid who wants to do everything his way. He's independent, bold, and brash. He's the very image of a young, angry punk, obsessed with being able to drink, smoke, and swear all he wants. However, even with these reckless elements to him, Eddie's always been a naïve kind of person, and relies on support from his friends and family to get by in the world. His immaturity and weak judgement often help him end up in stupid situations. He loves music and the raunchy words of his idols, but also appreciates the beauty of the world... within the birds he sees down the pub.

Story
Eddie's story takes place in late 1979 in East London. He lives with two of his best mates, Mike Lewis and Rodney Atkinson, in a shabby flat that the three constantly have to pool their money together to afford to rent.
Eddie was born into a working class family in East London on May 25, 1960. He has six siblings. The eldest, Elliott, is 25, born in 1955. He is a factory worker, but still lives at home. Second eldest is Edith, 22, born in 1958. She works as a clerk at a department store. Eddie himself is the third born. Next are the twins Edgar and Ethan, both 17 and born in 1962. They dropped out of school together at age 14 and work around the neighbourhood, doing little odd jobs here and there. Then there's Eric, 11, born in 1967, who is still attending school in year five. Finally, there's Elizabeth- more often, Ella for short- who is 1, born in 1977.
As Eddie is the third eldest of the lot, he's both one to learn from his older siblings as well as teach his younger siblings. He gets on well with all of them and treats them with respect, though it may include some teasing. His parents, Eugene (1930) and Eleanor (1935), lived in the same neighbourhood as teenagers and were high school sweethearts. The family live in a little flat above a pub, a cosy spot the parents have had since they moved out shorty after their marriage.
Eddie used to be a student at a rather affluent London university studying sciences. He lived in student halls with a young man a few months his junior, Harrison Turner, whom he frequently made the target of his pranks and teasing. The only reason Eddie attended was due to his parents thinking he was the most learned of their children... of which they were very, very wrong. The invested a lot of money into his tuition funds and hoped he would get a great job and bring the Wilson family some wealth. It was not meant to be, as Eddie spent most of his school year going to pubs, skipping class, sleeping in... and sleeping around. He barely passed his first term and by springtime exams, he had decided to give up on his studies and bum around instead.
