permissions.







red is a
gentle colour
PHYSICAL CONTACT & AFFECTION: feel free, but he's not going to be happy. he'll slap your hand away if you touch him.
MIND READING: ok, but you won't find anything pleasant.
FIGHTS, INJURIES, DEATH: a-ok, but i doubt it'll be fun. he's a twink who can't fight to save his life.

ASSUMED CR: perfectly fine!
CROSSCANON: loved & adored.
BACKTAGGING: i can be slow at times, so i'm perfectly fine with it. we all have lives, so don't sweat it.
THREAD-JACKING: as long as it's not a serious thread, and you're friends with the person i'm tagging, go right ahead.
FOURTH-WALLING: for characters from victorian britain, feel free to recognize his last name, since the valden family was part of nobility. nothing more than that.

SHIPPING: m/f/* ok, though due edgar's nature, none of his ships tend to be very wholesome. my favorites are joseph desaulniers and kevin ayuso. i also enjoy him with jack, mike morton and vera nair. i'm not very interested in shipping him with luca, sorry!
SMUT: talk to me first. i have no hard-nos, so no worries on that front.

CANON NOTES & CONTENT WARNINGS
CONTENT WARNINGS: identity v is a horror game with mentions of drug use, murder, arson, kidnapping, suicide, amidst others. edgar's backstory in particular involves mentions of self-harm and murder.
CANON NOTES: i default him to stage play rules and general setting. as for his background, i prefer to mix and match between his original background and diaries, as written by his creator, and his canon background. the specifics are as follows:

- edgar grew up with his younger sister ella, who died at the age of 6, and his childhood friend shazo. shazo was his first love.
- he had a cat named mary, who passed away of old age.
- he knows fencing, archery and hunting, but he isn't particularly good at any of them.
- mr. sarai's influence led him to start self-harming to use his blood as paint. once he found out the truth about sarai's intentions, he murdered him and used his blood instead.

edgar valden.


The only son of the Valden family, he showed an interest and high talent in art from childhood. Pampering from relatives and praise from social groups have led to his eccentric personality. He only has art in his eyes and has a high self-esteem. His perception of the world around him led to his belief that nobody else is worthy to speak to him about art. He did not participate in the game for the prize. As the heir to the Valden family, money did not tempt him. So what made him participate in this game?

background.
Edgar was born as one of two children and the only son of the noble Valden family. He showed an interest and high talent in art from childhood. Pampering from relatives and praise from social groups have led to his eccentric personality and a high self-esteem. His younger sister Ella, who he had a close bond with, became ill at 5 and died a year later when Edgar was 8 which caused him to only have art in his eyes.

Some years later Mr. Sarai was introduced to the Valden family by an old friend, and made Edgar Valden's private art tutor. However, Edgar quickly came to realize that Mr. Sarai did not pursue the true beauty of art, and was instead after the wealth and power of the Valden family - Edgar, under the "guidance" of Mr. Sarai, was no longer able to express himself through his artwork properly as it was not being correctly appreciated, and went through a loss of inspiration due to this.

Mr. Sarai seemed to go missing shortly afterwards, and he was possibly murdered by Edgar. This event led Edgar to his belief that nobody else is worthy to speak to him about art but himself. After this he departed to the Manor in search for new inspiration.

external traits.

ARTISTIC SENSITIVITY.
he carries a paintbrush and a drawing board with him. once he has memorized a hunter's face, the painter can paint the Hunter's face on the drawing board.
aesthetic resonance.
during the creation of a painting, the painter will be affected by his own work. every time he places a painting, his movement speed will increase permanently by 2%.
intuition.
the painter is perceptive and observant to real-life objects and so he will not be affected by a rocket chair with 50% progress. when he is put on a rocket chair for the second time, the progress will return to what it was the last time he was saved.
self fulfillment.
when the painting's effect wears off, the Hunter will be extremely interested in its painter.
