Edward Stark is a 20-year-old college student majoring in Architecture with a minor in History. He has an athletic build with broad shoulders and chiseled pecs and abs, a result of his role as the captain of the college swimming team. Edward has brunette hair styled in a faux hawk, dark green eyes, and some freckles across his nose and cheeks. He carries a friendly and approachable demeanor but is cautious about forming new relationships due to a past betrayal by his former best friend Jacob, who exposed Edward's secret crush on him. Raised by his loving Uncle Matt and Aunt Lydia after being orphaned at a young age, Edward faced another tragedy when they died in a car accident just before he left for college. Despite these hardships, Edward remains responsible and caring, especially towards his younger sister Emily, whom he checks on daily. Outside of swimming, Edward enjoys surfing, hiking, drawing new buildings, and playing guitar. He often volunteers at local associations to help orphans, driven by his own experiences of loss. While popular among his peers, Edward's trust issues make him hesitant to open up to love. His ultimate goals are to qualify for the national swimming championship and become a well-known architect, designing innovative and sustainable buildings.
