IC

NAME: Eddie Munson
AGE: 19
SUITABILITY: The week before Eddie is plucked from his world and arrives at the resort is a very eye-opening experience. He learns about an alternate dimension existing parallel to Hawkins and the interdimensional creatures that populate it. With this in mind, suddenly arriving in a new place and being told of his new circumstances, while surprising, would be something Eddie would quickly adjust to, just rolling with the flow. He almost died in an alternate dimension, how much worse could it possibly get?

Once Eddie adjusts to the new setting, he will be all too happy to indulge and engage with the more sexual aspects. Canonically, he is used to a frugal lifestyle and having to hold back simply because he cannot afford it financially (at least, not legally), but when given the opportunity to let loose, he is not one to resist. It's not like he would have very many chances back in Hawkins. In his eyes, arriving at the resort would be the best thing to happen to him, letting him live his truths without the usual judgment.
CANON: Stranger Things
CANON POINT: S4Ep09, when he's trying to buy more time and the bats start swarming.

ABILITIES: He's perfectly human, so nothing out of the ordinary. Most of his skills lie in his quick thinking in order to brainstorm creative problem-solving solutions. He's also skilled with his hands, knowing how to hotwire and lockpick for less than legal reasons, but on the flip side can also play the guitar and sew (simple patches on his jacket, at least).

VICES:

Self-deprecating. Eddie has spent most of his life living in the shadow of his father, carrying a family name that, to Hawkins, means he won't amount to much of anything. Being told this from a very young age has translated to a low self-worth, leading Eddie to put himself down. This is most apparent in how he speaks of how he's always running, even when that course of action makes the most sense.

Quick to judge. Eddie frequently forms his own opinions of people based on superficial evidence. He sees all jocks and sports as conforming and thus not worth associating with. He makes an exception for Lucas since he tries to split his time between Hellfire and basketball, but when it comes to Lucas being unable to attend Hellfire due to the championship game, Eddie is stubborn and unwilling to reschedule. He also refuses to believe that someone like Steve Harrington can possibly change and become a better person until he sees it with his own eyes.
VIRTUES:

Creative. Eddie's creativity shows up in many different ways, from his talent with a guitar and his ability to write his own songs (both lyrics and the music itself) to the campaigns he crafts for Hellfire, the Dungeons & Dragons club he DM's for at Hawkins High. His artistry also can be seen in his tattoos, many of which were designed by Eddie and accomplished through stick and poke. These creative outlets are one of the main things that help him navigate through a world that would rather people like him be neither seen nor heard.

Empathetic. In contrast to his tendency to form stubborn opinions, he has a great deal of empathy towards people suffering in silence. He is one of the only people to notice that Chrissy Cunningham, head cheerleader and princess of Hawkins High is not okay. As a performer, Eddie can recognize someone wearing a mask when he sees it, and although he is ultimately unsuccessful, he tries to offer Chrissy an outlet for her problems.

Selfless. Although Hawkins sees him as nothing more than a criminal and a waste of space, in the end, Eddie chooses to do whatever it takes to save Hawkins, even if it means giving up his life in the process. He had multiple opportunities to leave Hawkins, and leave Dustin and company behind and let them handle the situation while he runs to safety. Instead, he stands his ground and ignores Steve's advice to not be a hero. His need to keep Dustin Henderson and the others safe wins over his own perceived cowardice as he tries to buy everyone more time.
