Small, pale, and fuzzy. That's the easy way to describe Edrian. What more would anyone expect when a tall yellow fuzzy lady has a kid. Ed could pass for a regular kid if he wanted, sporting a shaggy mess of yellow hair, eyes that look a little too big for themselves, and skin you'd swear would glow in the dark he was so pale. His most outstanding physical trait would be his legs, which as much as he hates it, he keeps covered. From just above the knee, starts a sleeve of yellow fuzz, leading all the way down to where his ankles would be if his feet were dark blue cones.
Edrian used to display his insect parts proudly, that was until he noticed how much of a chore grooming his fur became, so in an effort to save himself some work, while also giving himself as many opportunities as possible to show off, he wears a pair of blueish grey pants that can unzip into shorts. His shirt situation is much easier to hand, choosing to sport a black tank top. His shoes would prove to be a more difficult task. Edrian found himself slipping out of every shoe he tried on, and though he loved going barefoot, he did find his cones getting a little cold at times. So his boss and mentor had a pair custom made for him. Now he wears a pair of purple boots that tie at the ankles so that they won't slip off.
PERSONALITY
Edrian is a spunky little bug boy, usually seen with a big toothy grin, adding to his already childlike demeanor. He's always up for a little trip, and never let himself feel down. This happy go lucky attitude does come with a few drawbacks. The least detrimental of which would be how easily he gets worn out. He could give a rousing inspirational speech, calling a group of friend to action, but then pass out only a few minutes later. That of course, is a slight exaggeration. Now should anything actually get him down, he tries to smile through it, even if it means missing out on possible help from others because of his insisting he is ok. Once the queries of "are you ok?" begin, so too does the agitated waves of "I'm ok really!" This also translates to others as well. When he first sees someone who may be having a rough day, he'll try his best to cheer them up, and most the time is successful. However, if one try isn't enough, he slowly starts slipping, honestly having no idea what to do next.
This leads to his second biggest trait, his confidence. Sometimes to a fault when it comes to anything physical. For example, when working on making a new shirt, it may come out lopsided with mismatched sleeves, but is always determined to try again, no matter how many times he's pricked himself. That's not the same with other people. Now Edrian likes being with others unless they are stuck in a seemingly unending slump, in which he'll likely get frustrated as to why they don't want to be happy.
While not easily frustrated, once he's wound up it goes downhill fast. Quickly going from frustrated to panicked or furious, it's hard to settle him down. If you happen to be an unfortunate bystander or worse an instigator, you may find yourself wrapped up in an electro web, or deafened by a screech. Luckily it takes quite a bit to get to this level, so an easy way to avoid this would be calm him down quick when he's only a little mad or frustrated.
BACKGROUND
Edrian had a surprisingly normal childhood, filled with wonder, adventure, and maybe a bit of sheltering. He got his Joltik parts from his mother Ariana, who is a Galvantula morph created by Team Crux when she was a teenager. For a while, she was a valued member of the team having been practically born and raised in the group it was all she knew. She was fiercely loyal to them, even opting to allow herself to be infused with the DNA of an electric spider Pokemon. She was considered a huge success, gaining a set of yellow furred legs, making her an excellent climber and a shocking fighter. The only issue was, she was always a nice person, even then. Knowing this, Crux would give her less harmful missions, usually sticking to theft. Of course, when you have someone like Ariana at your disposal, you use her. So they tried to skew the missions a bit, calling them "Hindrance of Construction," instead of flat-out destruction, or "Target Acquisition," instead of straight up kidnapping. This worked for a while until she was given a mission that forced a team member to kill a bystander. It was there she drew the line, and eventually fled the team.
Jump ahead years later, after constantly moving to avoid team crux, she meets a young man named Edward, a doctoral candidate, fittingly enough specializing in morphs. Skip ahead a few more years of dinner dancing and dates, one thing led to another, and little Edrian was born, who oddly enough was also a morph, only of a joltik instead, and with the "correct" number of legs. This child wasn't good at climbing or walking for that matter. He'd often end up tripping over his own feet and falling flat on his face. However, he would grow into his inhuman feet as he grew up, and even took a liking to climbing, though still not to the same effect as his mother. The issue of Team Crux though remained. They weren't about to let a top-notch operative, and a morph at that get away. As such, Edrian and his family moved quite often, really preventing the boy from making many friends, though would usually manage to keep a select few as long distance buddies.
Soon, as Edrian came close to his first decade, his family found surprising solace near Hamal Town. Despite this, his mother was overly cautious, afraid of letting her literal little boy out of sight for too long. This didn't bother him at first, but as Ed started to make his way into the teen years, he was starting to feel more and more smothered by his worried mother. In an effective effort to calm her nerves, Ariana gave her son a present for his birthday, an egg laid by her very own Pidgeot. What came out wasn't a little Pidgey, but a Fletchling, who was given the name Fennika.
For a while the two got to grow together, Ariana feeling confident enough to let her son go off on his own more, at least with her faithful Pidgeot close by. As a matter of fact, Edrian was able to get himself a part-time job. After years of struggling to find fitting footwear, the boy decided he was going to make his own shoes. This went less than successful. Actually it usually ended in a pile of shredded materials all over the floor, while a bug child tried fruitlessly to get his shoes to stay on the blue points he called feet. As such, he found a tailor in Hamal, owned by a nice older man who was willing to help the morph out with his predicament. After seeing the man work, Edrian decided this was what he wanted to do, make clothing specifically with morphs like him in mind, accommodating for any obstructing limbs and such.
Life was simple, that was with one minor exception. Edrian came across a recently cleared out Team Crux base, most likely only used in temporary emergencies. He found all sort of documents and such. With little details on the sheets, and his mother refusing to let Edrian know too much about her former team, all Edrian thought of them was that they were a covert brand of secret agents. Of course, what little he heard beforehand was all bad stuff, so that view sort of shifted into a sort of Illuminati-esque organization. He was swayed just a bit by this fantasy and decided he finally wanted to know more. Given his excitable and confident nature, he was determined to find out more, and possibly join. Though one could only imagine, how this boy's view would be shattered when he finds out who they really are, and especially if he ever found out what his mom did.

PERSONALITY — Fennika is a very curious bird, when not in a battle, she'll often wander off just to see what's around. After one of her little curiosity quests, she'll often return with something from her outing. She's also easygoing, letting pretty much anything happen as long as it doesn't hurt her or Edrian. As such, she can come off as cuddly, letting Ed use her as a portable heater when he fell into a river once, and often as a pillow as well. Sometimes this easy-going nature of hers can be a bit of a detriment, as it made it hard for Edrian to tell when she was taking anything seriously, or even what she's thinking at all. That's of course not to say she can't be expressive, as she is more than willing to peck someone to death if they're doing something they don't like. On the other hand, when she's excited, she'll fluff up her feathers and flutter around whatever has her attention. Funnily enough, she also seems to be good at keeping the bug child in line, whenever he becomes a bit too energetic for a situation or person, she'll rub up against him, then if that doesn't work, give him a good solid peck.
