biography
Eddie Powers was born Edwin Carter to Nancy and John Carter in 1991. He was the youngest of three boys and what most would say the most awkward of the three too. While the other two spent most of their time focusing on their athletics, Eddie was different. He liked bowling, comics, video games, and board games. He liked academics and learning and reading. He was the odd one out of the three of them and he never really let that get him down despite being teased for it throughout his time in school.
Being bullied was something he got used to rather quickly. The plus side to have cool older brothers was the fact that they seemed to stick up for him whenever they were around, which was rarely but it meant a lot of him when they did, in fact, step in to protect him from whatever it was the other kids said or did to him.
When high school came around, he joined as many clubs as possible in order to help him make some friends and it worked. He fit into the math club and even newspaper, both of which he loved more than anything and spent a lot of his free time doing what he could for the clubs when he wasn't spending his time focused on his hobbies. He actually got an opportunity to write a newspaper article for the school paper during his senior year, one where he focused on the fact that the success of the football team was more than likely due to the use of steroids. His article encouraged the school to implement mandatory drug tests to its players, and once that went into effect, the team wasn't happy with him.
In order to get Eddie back, a couple of the players decided to make a fake social media account where they staged themselves as a girl that was interested in Eddie. He really didn't have any dating experience and so, this was all exciting to him. After a couple of weeks, they managed to convince him to send over a nude picture with promises he'd get one in return but instead, they took the picture and spread it around school after deleting the account.
Mortified and devastated by the realization that it was all just a joke, his parents allowed him to finish his classes at home and once he graduated, he moved to start school at North Carolina State University and with the help of his parents changed his name so that he could start over without having the ghosts of his past follow him here.
After finishing his veterinarian medicine degree, he moved to wilmington and scored a job at the local zoo. He keeps to himself most of the time, outside of his meet up with his bowling team. He has no social media and is a bit of a loner. He has managed to gain a couple of close friends since moving to wilmington and those that are close to him mean a lot to him.
