Brief History
Edward came from Lumiose City in Kalos. He grew up mostly with his sister and his mother, with his father usually take a time off from the league to regularly visit them. Due to growing up mostly with his mother's supervision he learned a lot of skills usually girls excel at like cooking, and cleaning. Back there, he used to be make fun of and humiliated by bullies in his school due to his stature that wasn't so tall back then and also because he used to stand up for other people. He managed to persevere due to support from his family and his few friends, which made him learn martial arts from Master Lee to cope with his anger and depression. In the last year of school he started to get a rapid growth spurt which combined with his martial artist made the bullying stop due to the bullies being too afraid. He then entered the Cape College at 13 alongside his sister, but in Kanto he decides he need a fresh start including new outfit, which in turn made him looks like a delinquent. His lecturers and classmates were initially reluctant to converse with him, as they thought he was a naughty boy, but after conversing and learning more about him they stopped being afraid and starts to enjoy interacting with him. It didn't stop strangers from being scared at his presence though. He is also an eager learner in the academy which made some lecturers take notes on him.
Personality
Contrary to his appearance, Edward is actually a gentle and kind person. He however is a person who prefers listening rather than starts conversation himself, although if he is already comfortable with someone he may talks a lot with that person about himself. He is a person who is analytical and prefer to analyze what he can make of the situation to turn it into low risk, high reward but he sometimes is also too bold on strategies if it can help him win. He is also a responsible person who usually have a really hard time leaving struggling people alone even if he really wants to. He enjoys reading books under a tree while snacking as he found it very relaxing, other than that he actually have a wide variety of skills for everyday life like cooking, cleaning, tinkering machine, washing clothes, etc. Which helps with his popularity in the Cape College's staff circle. He enjoys coffee with milk and variety kinds of bread. But although gentle and is a very hard person to make angry, if his fuse is already lit, you should run quickly as he could wallop a guy until he's passed out. He also has a very good fashion sense for woman clothing as he usually recommend outfits to his sister, not on man's clothing though which he painfully accepts.
Hobbies
Reading books under a tree, Martial arts training, analyzing data, Relaxing while drinking coffee with milk and bread, sightseeing.
Dreams or Aspiration
At first Edward want to be a scientist like his mother. But after he often watched his father in national television, he wants to surpass his father and become a champion himself. After all, he can analyze and do research as much as he wants in the field while raising his pokemons. But even if that never come to fruition, his simpler dream is just to live happily around other people who is just as happy as himself.

Roleplay Sample
"... And Mega Salamence used Draco Meteor! It's a clean sweep for Dwayne Carter!"
The TV was showing a championship tournament at Kalos, it was second round and the opponent was swept cleanly by the mighty dragon pokemon.
"Geez, dad never really hold anything back huh?"
The remark from Edward reaches the ear of her mother that's currently watching besides him
"You do know your father is an Elite Four do you? I'm sure he has some pride to keep, honey." Her mother says while smiling
"You think i can be as tough as dad one day?"
Hearing that, her mother replies.
"Why not? If you train as hard as your father i'm sure you can even beat your dad. Oh, that reminds me. I guess it's time to tell you, you actually need to study at a pokemon school if you want to be a Pokemon Trainer. I actually know a good one, it's called Cape College in the Kanto Region, one of my friends teach there so i guess i can leave you to him if something happens."
"Really? So i have to study again? I thought it was supposed to be easier."
"Haha, i'm sure you can do it honey."
The conversation that was going swimmingly was suddenly interrupted by a figure that suddenly appears behind them.
"Brother, could you sleep together with me?" Says Anna while tugging at her brother's sleeve.
"Anna, you're already 8 i guess it's time for you to start sleeping alone." Edward replies to his tired looking sister
"But.."
With Anna looking sad as she is, Edward then decides to oblige to her request.
"Sigh.. okay Anna.. but just today okay.. you should really try to sleep alone tomorrow. I guess i'll go now Mom, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, have a sweet dreams you two."
