Name: Eddie Munson Door: Door Pass Canon: Stranger Things Canon Point: 4.09, having died in Dustin arm's after fighting off the demo-bats. Age: 20 Appearance: image link History: link CR AU (Optional): n/a Personality: Positive Trait: Genuine Through circumstance or choice, Eddie is unapologetically himself. He's a metalhead, part of a band that plays at a dive bar and is the leader/gamemaster of a Dungeons and Dragons club called Hellfire Club. Eddie is a passionate storyteller through D&D. He crafts campaigns that the entirety of the Hellfire Club are enraptured by. He holds the neutrality of gamemaster in high regard too, telling the group that, while against all odds fighting fictional Vecna, that it was okay to run and they didn't have to be heroes. Once the game is completed and the heroes win though, Eddie is overjoyed, physically and verbally. His most recent story was a huge success, and he values that. When the younger members of the club ask for a postponement to account for one of the member's basketball games, Eddie points out that the other members are about to graduate or have only a year of high school left: he values the club running without a hitch. He also will not allow his friends to miss out on peak D&D time. He references how there are other students, younger perhaps, who might be interested in the security and sanctuary of the club. His focus is often on its health, that it maintains even after he graduates. He cares so deeply in fact that some of his last words are to Dustin, telling him to be sure to find the little lost lambs for the club, to promise him that he'll do so. He mentions his band, Corroded Coffin, to Chrissy and how they'd started out in middle-school, but continue to play at a bar in town. There, they don't generate much of a crowd, usually always just a few drunks. The lack of exposure doesn't matter to Eddie though, it's playing his guitar and being part of the band, performing, that matters. While in the Upside Down, he and Dustin use a electrical setup with his amp and speakers to draw the attention of the demobats. Here, he plays a Metallica song, flawlessly and with an abundance of passion, dedicating the song to Chrissy before he starts playing. After this, he and Dustin jump up and down in utter glee over it being "the most metal concert ever." He says what's on his mind, wearing his heart on his sleeve, unafraid to ask for what he wants and needs. He willingly shows love for others, Dustin specifically, hugging him and being a mentor of sorts. He tells Steve exactly what's on his mind when they're in the Upside Down, including how much Dustin is impressed by him, that he himself is jealous of the other young man, and that he can clearly see that he's wholly in love with Nancy and should go after her. He is upfront and honest with Chrissy when showing her the drugs he'd be able to sell her: telling her about how he knew her in the past, no fear of judgment from the "Queen of Hawkins High." He is not afraid to tell people exactly how he sees a situation, whether through words or via his reactions (telling jokes when he believes they fit; not holding back agitation or distress when appropriate.) Eddie is kind and shows an outpouring of love for those who he sees as deserving of it. Dustin points out that he was the only person to be nice to him and Mike when they first started high school, supported by Eddie himself telling the two of them how he remembered seeing them as hapless souls and reaching out to them. After his death, Dustin sees Uncle Wayne in town and tells him about his nephew being a hero but also that he never saw Eddie get mad, that if people had really gotten to know him that they would've loved him. Negative Trait: Brazen Such a genuine person has every opportunity for their boldness to be double-edged. Eddie is a proud freak and eventually, embracing his interests of fantasy and adventure leads to him being banished and assumed as a cult leader murderer. Chrissy did die in front of him, he's always been into that dark cult-like D&D and he went into hiding after her death: what else would be deduced other than his guilt? Eddie sells drugs and brings them in his lunchbox to school, opening it with no regard for any authority member possibly seeing what he has. He also sells them close to school grounds (at a picnic bench in the woods), confident that it's a safe place because no one ever goes out there. In the cafeteria, Eddie brashly shows his disregard for conformity. After reading a Newsweek article about the Satanic Panic to his friends, laughing about it, and then having Dustin and Mike ask if they could delay their campaign day due to the championship basketball game, he goes on a tirade. He physically jumps at a passing student (not making contact but scaring her), then moving across the lunch tables while proclaiming that he and his group of friends are freaks because they're into a fantasy game; he goes down the list of cliques, sarcastically, calling out and yelling. It's an act of lashing out at the crowds: they don't accept him, and he thinks that they're all conformist sheep. He's already resigned to not fitting in anywhere other than a group of his own making, and that's outwardly (and genuinely) how he likes it. He's loud and proud of the fact, causing a scene when he deems necessary. He goes so far as to make devil horns and stick his tongue out at a jock who calls him a freak. Fitting in is not Eddie's priority. Eddie's outward appearance and fashion choices are that of a metalhead through and through, no cares given to how he "should" be. He tends to dress grungy, in ripped jeans, hair mussed up always. He wears four large rings, including three silver ones of a pig's head, skulls and a cross, and a skull. He has a number of tattoos that fall into the same aesthetic of dark and macabre: a spider, a skull/demon, a puppet master, bats, and a wyvern. He's proud of his tattoos too, happy to show them off (as he did to Chrissy), and got some of them on visible spots on his arms. Negative Trait: Delinquent Another trait to get him into trouble, this time with more serious consequences if he's caught. Eddie sells drugs (small operation as it is.) He drinks underage, not unusual for teenagers. He's known to hang out at his supplier's house, putting him into a predicament of possibly being caught by authorities. Eddie mentions how his dad taught him how to hotwire vehicles, insinuating that his father was never there to teach the more wholesome hobbies and activities a parent might. He hotwires a Winnebago RV parked as a home in his trailer park so he and the group have transportation, doing so as its owners are screaming at the kids to stop from the outside. It's not a stretch to assume he's not against generally being opportunistic when it fits his need. He steals a walkie talkie from a construction site when it's unguarded. Granted, Eddie does not go out of his way to hurt others. He's just already not a conformist by creed, so what does a little law-breaking hurt? The town easily accepts Eddie as the villain, and we see Max's mom (a neighbor of Eddie's) say "that Munson boy is up to no good again." There's no evidence to support this and she could just be judgmental, but even Eddie shows the viewers how he sometimes does go against the law. Negative Trait: Impulsive Seeing Chrissy die so brutally, Eddie runs. He hides, time and again, regretting the choices after they're made. His fear is valid, but his impulse to flee gnaws at him. When in the battle that halts Vecna's destruction but ends in Eddie's death, he started out by telling Steve that he (and Dustin) are no heroes; yet, he does stand and fight demobats after pondering over what how'd be just kept running away of late. He dies a hero yes, but not before harping on himself over his lack of staying and fighting in the recent past. It's a sacrificial move, one he likely knows will end poorly. His impulsive streak here is all the more present when he suddenly cuts the sheet-rope hanging between their world and the Upside Down, leaving Dustin on the safe side while he runs out to further distract the demobats to "buy more time" for the group. Eddie acts in physical ways without much consideration for any consequences. He speaks in exaggerated tones, especially when delivering ideas to his friends. He spoke unabashedly to the rest of the Hellfire Club in the cafeteria about the Satanic Panic, where anyone could hear them laughing at what a good majority of people thought was a serious problem. He has no regard for the student he jumps out at and scares, and he's sarcastic with tones of bitterness when calling out the school cliques about their forced conformity. Mike even mentions that Eddie is "always revved up." He is a nonconformist so naturally is intense about what he values and what he hates, but it makes it hard to navigate with the general public. His physical boundaries are lacking, sometimes non-existent. He pushes Dustin and Mike away to go find a substitute for the campaign. He tries to tackle and roughhouse with Dustin when they are preparing weapons for the fight in the Upside Down: it's a moment of true friendship, but reflective of how he interacts with others. When Eddie is found by Dustin and company in the boathouse, hiding from everyone, he jumps out from under a tarp and lunges at Steve with a broken beer bottle as a weapon. Self-defense and shock/trauma were at play here, but he had no idea how that would end or who was even there, at first. Unsure but desperate for a way to defeat Vecna and clear his name, Eddie follows the crowd in an impulsive way, no idea what was in store for him. While the older teens were looking for one of the gates on a lake, Steve gets pulled down and Nancy jumps in after him. Then Robin. And finally, after some cursing, Eddie does the same. He points out that he never would've gone in if he hadn't seen the girls do so, that he didn't want to be the one who stayed behind. He truly had no idea what was in the Upside Down though, making the rash choice to follow so he wouldn't be shamed. Powers and Abilities: Nothing supernatural. He's a masterful guitar player, though.
