Eddie Munson

❝You are scared. You're tired. You are injured. Do you flee Vecna and his cultists? Or do you stand your ground and fight?❞

High school delinquent. Outcast. Musician. Dreamer. Nonconformist. Drug dealer. Metalhead. The guy who doesn't care until he does.

Eddie is from season 4 of Stranger Things and can be taken from any point during that season. AUs and canon divergences welcome, fitting him into earlier seasons welcome, crossovers with other canons welcome.

❝There is no shame in running. Don't try to be heroes. Not today.❞

appearance

Eddie is of average height, with a slim-but-not-underweight build. He's not an athlete but his musical ability suggests his strength lies in his arms and hands for holding and playing his chosen instrument. His hair trends wavy/curly in texture and he wears it at shoulder length, with a fringe across his forehead. He commonly dresses in graphic tees, ripped jeans, and boots; he often accessorizes the outfit with a denim vest over a leather jacket. Style and appearance wise he mimics the heavy metal scene of the 1980s, fitting with his own musical ambitions.

abilities

musician

Eddie is a skilled guitarist, to the point that he could have been a professional. He played guitar with his band Corroded Coffin through his middle and high school career. He's shown to be able to play music by Metallica; specifically the song Master of Puppets. That particular song was released March 2, 1986 and Eddie canonly performed it on March 27, 1986, giving the implication that he learned the tune by ear in under three weeks.

dungeon master

Eddie runs Dungeons & Dragons campaigns for a group of friends he calls the Hellfire Club. While he markets the activity as a gathering of "freaks" and openly mocks newspaper articles calling out D&D as satanic worship, in reality he makes the club a welcoming place for those who don't fit in with the jocks or the cool clique. He shows great creativity in thinking up the storylines for the group's campaigns — and the potential twists and turns therein — as well as delivering the story beats with a dramatic flare that draws his players into the narrative.

hotwiring cars

At a young age, Eddie learned to hotwire cars from his father, a man who had fallen into thievery. While not the most legal or upstanding of skills, Eddie does employ his ability to lend aid to his friends while on the run from the law himself.

preferences & permissions

BACKTAGGING: Yes; I'm a perpetually slow tagger and live off of backtagging. I do tend to drop meme threads when a post hits captcha (looking at you tfln) or when life gets busy — it's not you, it's me. If I've dropped something you're into, captcha or not, let me know and chances are I'm willing to pick it back up.

THREADJACKING: Ask first.

4TH WALLING: Ask first.

TAGGING STYLE: I tend to default to prose when starting threads but will match your preference.

TRIGGERS: Ask before severe trauma; Eddie's canon deals with a lot of it but sometimes you're just not in the headspace to thread it out.

CANON TRIGGERS: Oh man there's a lot here. I feel like if you're already familiar with Stranger Things you know what you're getting into but if you're not, suffice it to say that a lot of what Eddie witnesses can fall into the category of extreme body horror/mutilation. I try not to go there in threads without at least a warning because we're all here for pretendy funtimes but if you want to go there — or if I have strayed there and you're not comfortable — please just say something and we'll make sure we can both stay within the comfort zones available to us. Additionally, Eddie is a drug dealer in canon; while not portrayed as seriously as all the body horror-related bits, it does exist and I tend to not bring it up in threads by default as I know it can be a sensitive area for many people.

FIGHTING: Yes; contact me to hash out details. Eddie's not really a brawler but adrenaline can fuel quite a bit. It's not going to make him a good fighter, but holding his own against someone else of average strength for a few minutes is totally possible.

INJURY: Yes; contact me to hash out details. As stated above this guy is not a fighter and injury is extremely possible.

POWERS: Yes; contact me to hash out details. Eddie has none of his own but I'm not opposed to magic/powers/etc. being used on him.

DEATH: No; but would consider for special cases.

HUGGING: Yes; Eddie can be very physically affectionate (hugs, play wrestling, hand on shoulder, etc.).

KISSING: Yes; while he's a flirt there's a possibility that a genuine gesture will actually surprise him.

SEX: Equally comfortable threading it out or fading to black. See below note on shipping partners.

ROMANCE: Absolutely; see below note on shipping partners.

SHIPPING NOTE: Eddie is a flirt and a self-proclaimed freak; he seems to delight in making others simultaneously uncomfortable and at ease. To that note I read him as having chemistry with nearly all of the main cast (with the exception of the kids, let's leave that platonic) and am willing to try a ship with nearly anyone.
