.:Personal Data:.
Strengths
Focused: Not even the chaos and gloom of the asylum can disrupt Edmund when he is meditating.
Forgiving: Perhaps it is his upbringing in a cult. Perhaps it is just his nature. But whatever it is, Edmund will forgive those who act against him, no matter how they hurt him.
Intelligent: Edmund is keenly intelligent and learns new things remarkably quickly.
Immune: Years of working with hornets have made Edmund incredibly tolerant of their stings.
-----
Weaknesses
Judgmental: Edmund, though in conversation will not admit do it, is rather intolerant of religious beliefs that can't be related to his cult's philosophy. It is wise to not speak of the subject.
Reclusive: Edmund has a tendency to lock himself in a room for days.
Ascetic: Typically, Edmund needs to be reminded to do things like eating and changing his clothes.
-----
Interests
Edumund enjoys plants and bees. He also enjoys spending long hours in quiet contemplation and prayer.
-----
Powers
Hive Mind: Edmund's thoughts act as the queen for the small group of hornets he controls. He can feel what they feel, see what they see, and direct their movements and actions. However, he can only control a group of twenty or so hornets at a time and then only direct them for a short distance- maybe up to five feet away. When controlling one hornet, the movement can be controlled for up to a mile. Should a hornet be killed, he is sent into horrible wracking spasms of pain. Doctors' note: This might be useful. It is this pain that made the experiment a failure- what good is a long-distance spy if his eye in the sky can be killed by a flyswatter? In addition, while Edmund is communicating with the hornets, he cannot speak or break his concentration. Any distraction severs the link and the hornet is lost. He cannot regain control of a hornet that is not in direct contact with him.
Flight: Edmund can fly with his thin wings, though not for long periods of time. He's quite nimble in the air and can achieve vertical takeoff, like a yellow jacket.
