( EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN-CULLEN. )
"Darkness falls here comes the rain
To wash away the past and the names
Darkness fall here comes the rain
To end it all the blood and the games"
The Basic Info
FULL NAME: “Edward Anthony Masen-Cullen, I rarely use the other two unless it’s necessary when we move to a new town but I prefer not to.”
NICKNAME(S): “I’m not the type of person that is fond of nicknames, though humans a couple of times have tried to get away with Eddy, or Ed but I kindly corrected. At home sometimes Emmett will let an Ed slip which is fine we’re brothers. Not even Bella shortens my name”
AGE: “Technically I’m one hundred eight years old, but I look like a seventeen year old”
GENDER: “Male, obviously”
I LIKE: “Females.”
SPECIES: “Vampire, but my family and I differ. We survive off the blood of animals. Vegetarian Vampires, our own little family joke”
SPECIAL POWER: “I’m a mind reader; I have access to every thought that crosses your mind, but only those thoughts which is plenty. I can do this with everyone as far as I know”
The Looks
HAIR COLOR: “The same color its been for a century, bronze, which is odd to see I know, but I inherited it from my mother. Its not quite short nor is it long, but its never tame or smooth, always messy I don’t bother with it much.”
EYE COLOR: “At one time, many decades ago they were a shiny green. Now it depends on my state of hungry, and the blood I feed on. Most days they’re golden, or topaz. Slowly they’ll fade to a coal black but letting them get that bad is dangerous for me” HEIGHT: “Six foot two inches, and I’m on the shorter side for the males in my family.”
WEIGHT: “I’m at my fighting weight, as you could say. About one hundred and seventy pounds, I’ll never been an ounce under or above that.”
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: “Being a vampire I probably have several such as pale and smooth skin, unnatural grace. I’m told I also have an intense stare and my jaw line has a chiselled appearance to it.”

FULL LENGTH PERSONALITY:
“My personality as a whole, well I guess you could consider it to be all over the place. For the most part I’ve stuck to the roots that were created because of the era that I was born in but some aspects of my personality have been formed because of the time I spent in different decades. Despite what one might think about my ability to read minds and hear how people perceive me, I do not let that get to my head, so I suppose you could say that I don’t really have an ego. Actually I’ve never really thought myself to be better then anyone, not quite sure that I would have basis to believe myself higher then anyone. Depending on who you are, you usually see on side or me or the other, usually my personality traits done often mix with one another.
The best misconception about myself would have to be by the humans that surround me when we’re placed in the school system. I’ve never really felt all that comfortable around humans, I think that can be credited to the fact that most of the time their thoughts annoy me more then anything. Its difficult to explain that I know, but they all think along the same lines. I have no desire to socialize with the humans, and it’s also a safety precaution, but I suppose that I could do it on a friendlier basis then what I’ve been known to do. I’ve been known to be cold and standoffish towards them, even intimidating, sometimes even more so then Emmett I’ve heard. I use my unfriendly behaviour as a way to keep myself partnerless in many classes. Of course, I’d never harm any of them, but I’m not taking the chance either.
For the most part, excluding the above mentioned, I’m not really anything like that. I really show my true colours when I don’t have to put up the human façade, its easier to be myself when I don’t have to worry about the humans. Even then I know I can be a hard person to live with. I don’t care to deny things, so I will be the first to tell you that I’m moody beyond belief. Rosalie brings this quality out in me the most, we snap at one another more then anyone you’ll ever know. My family’s gotten use to it by now, though they never walked on egg shells around me, usually its an ignored behaviour, mainly because they can switch so often it really doesn’t matter that much.
Generally speaking I guess one could say that I’m a very opinionated person, and one of those people that don’t feel the need to keep things to myself. I speak openly to those that ask of my opinion along with the fact that I don’t care to lie when I don’t have to. If that wasn’t too bad, I’m one of the most stubborn and strong willed person that I know of. I have a habit with forming an opinion on something and then not wanting to change said opinion very easily. This is best seen with the argument that I have, rather had, with Bella about her wanting to end her human life. Which brings me to another point, argumentative, I stick to my reasons and I’ll argue for them, just ask Rosalie.
Lastly, the part of my personality that I’m most proud of, the side I’m usually reminded of by Carlisle and Esme through silent means. Since I grew up in the very early twentieth century, my morals and virtues are much different those males that are born now. It was unacceptable for you to act without manners and for my gender it was expected that you treated women with the utmost respect. A hundred eight years later and I still believe that is the way you should act. For a little while I had difficulty with Bella, her not use to the fact that I intended to open every door for her, help her with her coat among other things. That about me won’t change, just because I’m a vampire, eternally damned doesn’t mean I can’t be a gentleman about it or still hold my morals and virtue high.”
The History
DATE OF BIRTH: “I guess you could say that I have two of these. My birth certificate, the whereabouts of it, I’m not sure, states that I was born on June 20th 1901. Because of my vampire status, I was I guess you could say reborn (though I don’t like that phrase) on September 20th 1918.”
PLACE OF BIRTH: “I was born in the now named windy city, Chicago, Illinois.”
CURRENT HOME: “Currently my family and I have settled in Forks, Washington. We’ve been here for a couple of years now, the second time we’ve been here, hasn’t changed much.”
PARENTS: “Biologically speaking my parents are Elizabeth and Edward Cullen, I was named after my father. But I barely remember them and I feel that Carlisle and Esme have been there for me during the more important times and I consider them my parents.”
SIBLINGS: “Though they aren’t biological I feel as they should be. My first sibling was Rosalie Hale. Emmett, was the second and is also a brother-in-law if you want to get technical. Even though Carlisle never turned Alice or Jasper the two of them are my siblings and like Rose and Em, both could be in-laws.”
IMPORTANT PEOPLE: “I suppose while they were still on our diet a few years ago the Denali coven were close to us, cousins but since they’ve changed back to their old ways we don’t see them as often as we use to though there is no bad blood between us.”
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: “Unlike those within my family, I am completely unattached, completely my own choice and not because there weren’t any offers.”
PETS: “With my and my family’s diet this would not be a smart choice. Animals often tend to be nervous around vampires anyway”
FULL LENGTH HISTORY:
Chicago, Illinois is where Edward Anthony Masen was born, on June 20th a year after the turn of the century. Edward was named after his father, first name only with no complaints from his mother. But being the second Edward in the Masen family he was never, ever referred to as junior, his parents weren’t really all that fond of nicknames, except for his mother that sometimes went as Beth, her name being Elizabeth. His family was rather well off for the time, his father being a rather successful lawyer for the time. His mother stayed home to watch him, while he spent his childhood as most males did, finding a bit of trouble here and there. He often returned from playing with bruises and scraps that worried his mother but his father soothed her telling that Edward was just a natural boy and it was fairly regular behaviour.
As the years grew closer to the teens along with Edward his mother grew worried. Talks of war had hit the neighbourhood and young Edward wanted nothing more then to serve his country, at one point he considered lying about his age if he had to. When the war finally broke out his mother was pleased to know he’d have to wait until he was eighteen and everyone figured the war would be finished by that point. This wasn’t the case, and the time was drawing closer, but so was another date that all three members weren’t aware of. Shortly after turning seventeen, the conscription age being lowered to 18, Edward was one year away. But that wasn’t his path, months after his birthday, Edward and his family came down with the Spanish influenza, and honestly it could have been worse. Their doctor, Dr. Cullen couldn’t be nicer.
His father was the first to go, while his mother’s case got worse he seemed to be doing okay, but hope of recovery wasn’t looking good when he could barely stay awake a week later. Edward often heard his mother and Dr. Cullen whispering but couldn’t make anything out. Little did he know his mother was pleading for her sons life, it didn’t take much, the doctor was very compassionate. When his mother died, and Edward was taking a turn for the worse, Dr. Cullen carried him to his house one night, after faking Edward’s death earlier that day. That night Edward would have taken death, over what Dr. Cullen did. That night Edward was bitten and started the transformation into a vampire. That was the night Edward Anthony Masen technically died, and with the pain he felt he wished it actually happened. But Carlisle as Edward was told, was there throughout the painful three day process talking him through it telling him it would get better. To his surprise it did, of course that was until his thirst got a hold of him and he was told he had to hunt animals. It took some convincing but Edward agreed initially.
Everything was explained that night to Edward, and they figured out something else. While they were talking Edward would answer question that Carlisle didn’t ask, aloud. They figured out he had the ability to read thoughts, and there didn’t seem to be restrictions. Edward wasn’t able to mingle with humans for a good year, when Carlisle thought he made enough progress. At times he assisted Carlisle unless there was blood then he had to leave. From that point on Edward became Edward Cullen, the son of Carlisle since he was forever seventeen, nothing he minded. He didn’t become depressed or anything because he was a monster but then again he wasn’t all that accepting but feeding off animals redeemed him for that in his mind. It wasn’t long before he and Carlisle moved on, he learned he couldn’t stay in once place to long, that would be his last time in Chicago for a long time. As they moved on he learned their stop in Wisconsin had brought Carlisle back to Esme, who just happened to join them after a suicide attempt. This allowed Edward to play two parts, either their son (since the two adults married soon afterward) or Esme’s younger brother.
In 1927, Edward rebelled against his parent figures deciding he could do as he pleased, he was in actuality 26 after all. He strayed from Carlisle and Esme and started feeding off of humans, though with his reading thoughts ability he was able to prey on criminals and those that had little morals, that should die but escaped it every time. This lasted three years in total not being able to stand the guilt he was feeling he returned to Esme and Carlisle, who to his surprise acted like he never left. He did get a stiff warning not to go off without contact by Esme ever again and he promised he wouldn’t. He apologized for a while for doing what he did, but Carlisle understood and forgave him. After his return he wasn’t the lone teenager for long. Arriving in New York, the family of three were in the same spot where Rosalie Hale called her home. She was the next to join, supposedly as a mate for Edward. This didn’t work; they were better suited as brother and sister, since they bickered like biological ones this was a deep rooted issue for the two of them though. They had many disagreements, Edward’s main one being about Carlisle changing her. Rosalie soon found Emmett, saving him and he joined as a Cullen, Rosalie remaining Hale and Edward welcomed Emmett, more so then Rosalie but he liked them both the same growing closer to Emmett though then Rose.
Edward was with the family when the four first entered Forks, it was easy going at first until they met up with the Quileute tribe, who actually had a problem with them living in Forks. After a few disputes with the elders and the pack at that time, a treaty was formed, forbidding the Cullen family to venture to La Push or bite a human in either town. Both parties agreed easy enough and it was made sure that the Quileute members that knew of the Cullen family could not give away their secrets. It was simply followed, since Edward had no problem not biting another human being after his crime fighting days. The family only stayed until Carlisle could no longer pass for an age and then they were gone, this is when more members entered the family, but they weren’t exactly the last.
When Alice and Jasper entered their lives, Edward was a bit stunned, not because of the new additions but just because of how it happened. He returned home one day, and going to park his car, couldn’t get in the garage, it being filled with everything in his room. Carrying a box in the house he inquired why his stuff was in boxes only to have Alice confront him telling him everything about what happened, and who he was and why she’d taken his room. After that the two have gotten along ever since, Edward liking to call them freaks among freaks for their inconvenient gifts. While the family stayed away from Forks for a few years, they made friends with another veggie vampire family in Denali Alaska. After their time in Alaska the Cullen family decided that it was one too many vampires in one area so bid their friends farewell and moved on to another place to play the part of humans. Someone in the family suggested Forks once again but because of the difficulty that Jasper was having with the diet they decided on a bigger city until the vampire could get the hang of things better.
Throughout the span of the sixty or so years between their first visit to forks and what would be their next time in the town they moved throughout many different states, all of which had a balance of sunny and overcast days. They even returned to Edward’s place of birth which was the last place they were before they decided it would be nice to lay low in a small town once again. By this time, it seemed that the Olympic Coven were the only ones left that remained on the vegetarian diet and they were doing quite well with it, all of them doing what they could to make Jasper comfortable and at ease. Edward had, after being approached, began to monitor his brothers thoughts only when he felt they would cause him to go off the diet. The fact that they were we only vegetarian vampires led to curiosity among nomads who took the liberty of stopping by and investigating which caused for a bit of tension between all groups of supernatural species living in the area. But nothing kept everyone on edge more then an appearance of a Nomad group that seems to be staying around with a member that seemed to have lived here briefly while as a human, which keeps things interesting that’s for sure.

SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: “Unlike those within my family, I am completely unattached, completely my own choice and not because there weren’t any offers.”
PETS: “With my and my family’s diet this would not be a smart choice. Animals often tend to be nervous around vampires anyway”
FULL LENGTH HISTORY:
Chicago, Illinois is where Edward Anthony Masen was born, on June 20th a year after the turn of the century. Edward was named after his father, first name only with no complaints from his mother. But being the second Edward in the Masen family he was never, ever referred to as junior, his parents weren’t really all that fond of nicknames, except for his mother that sometimes went as Beth, her name being Elizabeth. His family was rather well off for the time, his father being a rather successful lawyer for the time. His mother stayed home to watch him, while he spent his childhood as most males did, finding a bit of trouble here and there. He often returned from playing with bruises and scraps that worried his mother but his father soothed her telling that Edward was just a natural boy and it was fairly regular behaviour.
As the years grew closer to the teens along with Edward his mother grew worried. Talks of war had hit the neighbourhood and young Edward wanted nothing more then to serve his country, at one point he considered lying about his age if he had to. When the war finally broke out his mother was pleased to know he’d have to wait until he was eighteen and everyone figured the war would be finished by that point. This wasn’t the case, and the time was drawing closer, but so was another date that all three members weren’t aware of. Shortly after turning seventeen, the conscription age being lowered to 18, Edward was one year away. But that wasn’t his path, months after his birthday, Edward and his family came down with the Spanish influenza, and honestly it could have been worse. Their doctor, Dr. Cullen couldn’t be nicer.
His father was the first to go, while his mother’s case got worse he seemed to be doing okay, but hope of recovery wasn’t looking good when he could barely stay awake a week later. Edward often heard his mother and Dr. Cullen whispering but couldn’t make anything out. Little did he know his mother was pleading for her sons life, it didn’t take much, the doctor was very compassionate. When his mother died, and Edward was taking a turn for the worse, Dr. Cullen carried him to his house one night, after faking Edward’s death earlier that day. That night Edward would have taken death, over what Dr. Cullen did. That night Edward was bitten and started the transformation into a vampire. That was the night Edward Anthony Masen technically died, and with the pain he felt he wished it actually happened. But Carlisle as Edward was told, was there throughout the painful three day process talking him through it telling him it would get better. To his surprise it did, of course that was until his thirst got a hold of him and he was told he had to hunt animals. It took some convincing but Edward agreed initially.
Everything was explained that night to Edward, and they figured out something else. While they were talking Edward would answer question that Carlisle didn’t ask, aloud. They figured out he had the ability to read thoughts, and there didn’t seem to be restrictions. Edward wasn’t able to mingle with humans for a good year, when Carlisle thought he made enough progress. At times he assisted Carlisle unless there was blood then he had to leave. From that point on Edward became Edward Cullen, the son of Carlisle since he was forever seventeen, nothing he minded. He didn’t become depressed or anything because he was a monster but then again he wasn’t all that accepting but feeding off animals redeemed him for that in his mind. It wasn’t long before he and Carlisle moved on, he learned he couldn’t stay in once place to long, that would be his last time in Chicago for a long time. As they moved on he learned their stop in Wisconsin had brought Carlisle back to Esme, who just happened to join them after a suicide attempt. This allowed Edward to play two parts, either their son (since the two adults married soon afterward) or Esme’s younger brother.
In 1927, Edward rebelled against his parent figures deciding he could do as he pleased, he was in actuality 26 after all. He strayed from Carlisle and Esme and started feeding off of humans, though with his reading thoughts ability he was able to prey on criminals and those that had little morals, that should die but escaped it every time. This lasted three years in total not being able to stand the guilt he was feeling he returned to Esme and Carlisle, who to his surprise acted like he never left. He did get a stiff warning not to go off without contact by Esme ever again and he promised he wouldn’t. He apologized for a while for doing what he did, but Carlisle understood and forgave him. After his return he wasn’t the lone teenager for long. Arriving in New York, the family of three were in the same spot where Rosalie Hale called her home. She was the next to join, supposedly as a mate for Edward. This didn’t work; they were better suited as brother and sister, since they bickered like biological ones this was a deep rooted issue for the two of them though. They had many disagreements, Edward’s main one being about Carlisle changing her. Rosalie soon found Emmett, saving him and he joined as a Cullen, Rosalie remaining Hale and Edward welcomed Emmett, more so then Rosalie but he liked them both the same growing closer to Emmett though then Rose.
Edward was with the family when the four first entered Forks, it was easy going at first until they met up with the Quileute tribe, who actually had a problem with them living in Forks. After a few disputes with the elders and the pack at that time, a treaty was formed, forbidding the Cullen family to venture to La Push or bite a human in either town. Both parties agreed easy enough and it was made sure that the Quileute members that knew of the Cullen family could not give away their secrets. It was simply followed, since Edward had no problem not biting another human being after his crime fighting days. The family only stayed until Carlisle could no longer pass for an age and then they were gone, this is when more members entered the family, but they weren’t exactly the last.
When Alice and Jasper entered their lives, Edward was a bit stunned, not because of the new additions but just because of how it happened. He returned home one day, and going to park his car, couldn’t get in the garage, it being filled with everything in his room. Carrying a box in the house he inquired why his stuff was in boxes only to have Alice confront him telling him everything about what happened, and who he was and why she’d taken his room. After that the two have gotten along ever since, Edward liking to call them freaks among freaks for their inconvenient gifts. While the family stayed away from Forks for a few years, they made friends with another veggie vampire family in Denali Alaska. After their time in Alaska the Cullen family decided that it was one too many vampires in one area so bid their friends farewell and moved on to another place to play the part of humans. Someone in the family suggested Forks once again but because of the difficulty that Jasper was having with the diet they decided on a bigger city until the vampire could get the hang of things better.
Throughout the span of the sixty or so years between their first visit to forks and what would be their next time in the town they moved throughout many different states, all of which had a balance of sunny and overcast days. They even returned to Edward’s place of birth which was the last place they were before they decided it would be nice to lay low in a small town once again. By this time, it seemed that the Olympic Coven were the only ones left that remained on the vegetarian diet and they were doing quite well with it, all of them doing what they could to make Jasper comfortable and at ease. Edward had, after being approached, began to monitor his brothers thoughts only when he felt they would cause him to go off the diet. The fact that they were we only vegetarian vampires led to curiosity among nomads who took the liberty of stopping by and investigating which caused for a bit of tension between all groups of supernatural species living in the area. But nothing kept everyone on edge more then an appearance of a Nomad group that seems to be staying around with a member that seemed to have lived here briefly while as a human, which keeps things interesting that’s for sure.

SAMPLE POST:
Edward was what you would consider a none too impressed vampire at the moment. He’d had a talk with his family a couple of days ago about the ever persistent Victoria. He was fine with the fact that they were getting help with her from the wolves, he just wanted her gone so that Bella would be safe, that was all he wanted. But it couldn’t be just that simple, no it never was. Edward had no idea why he’d been picked for this little meeting that he was on his way to, it made really no sense. Emmett would have been a better choice then Edward well at least it would have been in Edward’s mind especially since he was meeting Jacob. Any wolf would have been fine, but why Jacob, they knew Edward and Jacob didn’t get along, well it was worse then that but he had to go anyway. But he’d throw his beef with Jacob aside as best he could today and talk about what they were really meeting for, well at least that’s what he told himself.
It had been quite a tense day for him, and luckily it was a sunny day so Bella would haven’t to seem him like this. He’d also feel compelled to tell her about this one on one meeting, he’d mentioned a meeting between the two groups, but he didn’t want her to worry about either him or Jacob like he knew she would. Of course he hated keeping it from her, but they could be civil about this he figured, even if he knew that was a bit of a lie. The meeting was set for four, so it wasn’t a surprise that Edward was already running through the forest towards the meeting point, the boundary line. Something Edward couldn’t cross but Jacob could come and go as he pleased, lacking some rules of fairness yes, but Edward had no desire to enter La Push so he wasn’t complaining. Nothing appealed to him there, maybe the odd deer that was too close and then slipped over the line, that was annoying and temped him just to cross the line long enough to grab the deer but he’d get in trouble in more then one way.
Finally reaching his destination Edward, remembering to wear a watch check the time. Five minutes to spear he watched the woods for any sign of Jacob, wolf or human Edward didn’t care they could communicate either way. It wouldn’t be the first time it looked like Edward was talking to himself, he was quite use to it by now. Patiently he waited while he listened to the second hand on his watch tick down the remaining five minutes which would drive him normally insane if it wasn’t keeping him from pacing. Usually he had patients depending on what he was doing, but waiting for someone he didn’t really like when he could be doing something better with his time. Of course he’s late, I should have guessed. Edward thought to himself. Crossing his arms over his chest, he wasn’t going to pace just yet Edward continued to keep his golden eyes on the forest in front of him waiting, remaining in the same spot standing statue like
