Edward Emeric

Edward Emeric is a filler name along with most other names. I'll change them at some point.

Background
Edward was born in the town of Faywater, a secluded town in the RWBY-verse equivelent of the outback [find proper locatiion]. In it's location the major cities could not offer their normal protection, so the local malitia was formed and charged with defending the town from the Grimm. The Emeric family played a major role in this organization and eventually became its core component. Generations of Emerics served the town well and eventually the Emerics influence took over the town until the Malitia was merged with local law enfrocement. Edward was a son in the Emeric family, and as such he inherited the Emeric name, and all the respect, and power that came with it.

Growing Up
Edward grew up an only child. As with all children he learned the ways of the world from his parents, but when one's parents, and, to be more concise, his family owns the town one lives in, those are the only people you learn from. Edward was treated very well, with no shortage of friends or influence, given to him by his heratige. Growing up Edward learned the nature of these restionships though. "Friends" were, at least to some extent, agents of other adults, trying to gain favor with the Emeric family, and Edward learned what "trust" meant in that case. Edward also learned his families opinions on other aspects of life, specifically Faunus. The schools were permeated with Emeric opinions, and of key importance was the teaching of Brain Compression Theory, a basis for Faunus racism. It was through attitudes like these that made Racism almost a given in Faywater.

Edward was quickly introduced to the family trade of defending the town and learned from father, and grand father about the familys method of dealing with Grimm. As an Emeric he was expected to preform better then a non-family member and with the tireless training he recieved, he did. It was on such a display of proficiency, when he was 14 that he was introduced to his new partner.
