His attitude towards his service has made him an effective combatant, never refusing any order given to him. Outside of combat, he is not usually an extrovert or an introvert, as he sits somewhere in between. He is often friendly to the people around him and gets along well, but he is very straightforward. Although he is not very talkative, he is able to hold a decent conversation. Finally, Edward can be a bit stubborn. It is difficult to change his beliefs once he has them set.


Physical Description: Edward is about the marine average when it comes to height and weight. Not too tall, not too short. He is probably a mesomorph when it comes to body type. Edward holds no significant scars, and no tattoos at all. He keeps his hair relatively short, closely resembling the standard marine haircut.


Character Bio: In 2518, Edward Taylor was born on Luna in Crisium City under the care of his parents, Michael and Amber Taylor. As a child, his father was on active duty as a Lieutenant in the UNSC Navy, meaning that Edward would have to be raised by his mother. Edward spent most of his time doing whatever a regular kid would do. School, games, and friends. During his childhood, his mother worked as a part-time nurse at a military clinic. Other than his mother, Edward had the support from his older sister and brother, Jonathan and Vanessa. Their company eased some of the hardships he encountered as a child and they provided some guidance over him when their mother wasn't home.

As he grew older, Edward's father decided to join the Navy Reserve to spend more time with Edward. He was worried that he would neglect Edward throughout his life. As his mother worked, Edward's father taught him discipline and valuable lessons he could use later in life. Due to the support of his father, he became a smart and well-shaped kid when he was young. When Edward was in high school, he developed an interest in the military due to his family’s military history. His plan was to finish college, attend the Luna OCS Academy, then become an officer in the Navy. His family supported his choice, as his father was now retired and his brother was currently active in the Marines.

After Edward finished high school, he started working at his parent’s small business. He wanted to help out a bit as his sister and brother were off-world. During this time, Edward sent an application for the Crisium City Police Department. Soon, he was accepted into the police academy and began his training. After he completed the academy, he started his probationary period as a field training officer. After a year, Edward finished his probation and became a regular patrol officer. While Edward was still working with the police department, the war with the Covenant and the Insurrectionists was still waging. Edward felt that he had an obligation to serve in the UNSC to support Earth and her colonies. At the time, Edward’s brother, Jonathan, was serving in the Marine Corps as a Sergeant, further pushing Edward to enlist.

Throughout the years, the wars continued and nothing really changed back on Luna. Edward constantly thought about his brother, wondering if he was okay or not. He finally enrolled into a college, still keeping his job as an officer. His schedule was tight because of his job, making it hard for him to focus on school. During 2241, Edward was still enrolled in college when his family learned that Jonathan was killed during a conflict with insurrectionists. With some years left in college, Edward left Luna with the intent to enlist in the Marine Corps.

During basic training, Edward had a hard time trying to decide whether or not this was the right decision. His lack of confidence caused some problems, but he eventually worked through it. It later came to him that this was what he was going to do. He was able to complete the training and was assigned to his first company. Edward was not usually in contact with his family while he was active. It did not have that much of an effect on him, but he would still visit Crisium City if he had military leave.

After three years in his current unit, Edward was chosen to be a part of Team A-I-R. This was due to his exeptional devotion in his service and his skills during assignments. At the time, Edward was not very fond of the insurrection, making this process fairly easy. There was a bigger risk involved, as most of the team’s marine personnel is expendable. This was something Edward would just have to deal with, but it really wasn't a problem. Edward was soon forced to pack and leave his unit, joining up with the team on the 'Safety in Silence'.
