INTENSE METHODICAL SHUTTERBUG
INTENSE METHODICAL SHUTTERBUG
Edwin is an easily obsessed second generation Thai-American hailing from New York City, in Ashdown to attend Rider-Waite. It's generally pretty hard to win them over, but the intense focus that they apply to anything that they fixate onto can be pretty intimidating, since they've always preferred depth to breadth, and they fall very hard. (It has often been said that they have no chill. This is true.) Right now they're super into photography of all kinds: long exposures with pinholes, camera phones, and fancy DSLRs are all free game! That's actually pretty okay by most people, as long as they don't insult The Art (Edwin will subject anyone to lengthy rants about The Art). Unfortunately, most people who have more than a passing familiarity with them are aware that you don't really want to piss Edwin off. Sure, their arms are twigs, but they have a long memory that mostly banks on the fact that as a person, Edwin is naturally aggressively organized, with spreadsheet upon spreadsheet of photo diary and information. Conversely, though, they're pretty bad at normal human social interaction. How bothersome...
RECOVERING INTERNET ADDICT
They're currently on academic probation at rider-waite, in part because they got way too into their online life. They used to run a HONY clone that covered the immediate vicinity of the Rider-Waite campus, and have had to hand it off to a lieutenant for the semester. Their therapist is mandating that they try to make offline friendships in light of the absolute disaster that was last semester. Consequently their access to most of the apps on both their laptop and their phone is strictly dictated by parental controls (making research pretty difficult for them - ugh, the Dewey Decimal System sucks!). On one hand, they're trying to take the opportunity to work more with film cameras and polaroids, which is nice. On the other hand, being AFK is suffering.
The thing that really sucks, though, is that they're also having a hard time finding someone to talk to all this about. Page is a total sweetie, but Edwin is pretty sure they've never had a problem like this in their life. Their therapist...well, they're just not that close to her. And their parents? Forget about it. As far as they're concerned, Edwin's still setting a good example for their little brother. And they kind of plan to keep it that way. It's nice to feel like someone in their life has faith in them, you know?
So, yeah. They've got to turn their academic life around, look for an internship this summer, and reassure their parents that everything's going okay in the meanwhile. What's a college student to do?
PHOTO OP-TAKER
Assuming Edwin was present, they always seem to have just the right timing such that their photo of the Big Critical Moment is perfect, whether it's the couple's big kiss or the winner crossing the finish line. Or, in one memorable incident, the shoplifter exiting the store.ANYTHING ELSE?
- 19 years old, rider-waite junior.
- not an ashdown native.
- rooming with page. hi page. your cat's pretty okay, but i'm not giving her any of my eggs.
- they're a morning person. breakfast is absolutely the best meal of every day. anyone who disagrees can leave.
