Meet EDDERKOP!

(art by the great AronBerg over on twitter)

Full Name: Eivindur "Edderkop" Nilsen Gender: No/Agender (they/them - AMAB) Nationality: Faroe Islander / Norwegian

A baby-faced 30 year-old, part of Norway's FSK

Born in Tórshavn, Streymoy, Faroe Islands (Currently lives in Fredrikstad, Eastern Norway)

Speaks Faroese, Norwegian, Danish, and English

Their callsign means "spider", and is a reference to both their love of spiders, and their personal gadget, the Cavatus.

It's a sort of underbarrel bola-launcher, inspired by the triangle-weaving spider (which uses its web as a sort of slingshot to capture its prey).

While they're an excellent shot, their speciality is close-quarters combat; literally they will never back down from a good scrap, and they are not above fighting dirty.

They already have a reputation for biting mid-fight, if the opportunity arises.

Collects sparring-partners like Pokémon cards.

A long-time dream of theirs was to have a pet spider, and since they now have at least some free-time and a space of their own... they got one! A Mexican Red-Knee tarantula affectionally named "Princess Cheeto"!

Really REALLY into crime fiction! True-crime not so much, though.

Handwriting looks like this:

The story of how they got their scar changes every time. Notable examples include “shoved too many Doritos in my mouth, and those things are sharp!”, and “I really wanted to cosplay The Joker for Halloween one year, but chickened-out halfway”.
