Edgar Valden

Age: 23

Travel partner: Ithaqua Vilulf

Character song: Carve a Smile - Shayfer James

Since Edgar is canonically from the Material Research Facility in the coa7 lore, MM Edgar has a great interest in mycology and is quite knowledgeable for a civilian. He even keeps a journal of his time on his own and with Ithaqua and sketches the various Mushrooms and Molds he comes across in the margins.

The artistic uses of fungi are his specialty and his and Ithaqua’s treehouse is decorated with artist bracket sketches and he has small jars full of pigments and dyes he’s made from mushrooms.

Mentally, he’s more stable and less apprehensive than his partner is about venturing out into the city and formerly populated areas that were evacuated when the disease emerged.

Character song: 700 days - Shayfer James

The apocalypse has NOT been treating this guy kindly in the slightest. Poor thing cannot catch a break. His mother died, his shelter was compromised, he saw his friend crawl out of a lake horrifically mutated, and he’s nearly gotten mauled several times by infected. So naturally, he’s become quite the paranoid individual. He even keeps his mask on at all times to avoid spore inhalation and stays completely covered to prevent the possibility of any mycelium attaching to him.

It’s rare, but when things become scarce, he scavenges for supplies left behind in abandoned encampments and buildings. He ran into Edgar during one of these supply runs and took him to his camp where they began living together and formed a strong bond as partners.
