The

Semblance
Edward's semblance is a passive semblance dubbed "Premonition". Edward cannot control when the semblance activates, but is most likely to activate when something he is unaware of is about to occur. It can also go off when there is something hidden from Edward, and is not limited in the physical sense as it can sense things hidden mentally or emotionally as well.

When active, the semblance gives him a unique "sense" of awareness, and is felt by a strange tingling sensation at the back of his mind. Depending on the situation, Edward might be able to figure out what the premonition is trying to tell him. For example, if he walks down an alley and the semblance activates he could tell that there's a high possibility of an ambush either up ahead or about to start. However if someone was in disguise and his semblance went off, he could tell something's off but he doesn't know if it's his surroundings or the person, and if so he doesn't know what the person is hiding.

It has given him an advantage in life in general, as the semblance gives him an upper hand mostly in surprise events such as an ambush or when someone is about to enter a room he shouldn't be in. However while it does give him premonition, he might not be quick enough to realise what's going on until it's too late. For example, if he was about to open a door that would activate an explosion, he might not react fast enough to stop him from opening the door. The time window between the semblance and something happening also varies, from a moments notice to about ten seconds at the most.

Trivia

 * The name Edward roughly means "Wealthy Guardian", as it is taken from the Old English elements ead "rich, prosperity" and weard "guardian, protector". (Source)
 * Edward's allusion is to Hermes, the Greek God and patron/protector of travellers, herdsmen, thieves, orators, and other similar people. (Source)


 * Edward's semblance could be considered a diluted form of prophecy. This strengthens the allusion to Hermes, who was taught the gift of Prophecy by Apollo. This ability is not something Hermes is well known for. (Source)
 * The tingling sensation was based off my own experience with feeling like there was something missing, something obvious and yet I couldn't quite put my finger on it until some hard thinking.
