TEN TRUE FACTS AND A SECRET

1) He owns three laptops, a blackberry smartphone, an i-Phone, whatever gadget you can possibly think of, and he is allergic to any small gadget with no touch screen. All in all, he's a complete technology geek. He is also an extreme bookworm, and he visits bookshops all the time, to get more new books.

2) Eduard has an attachment to everything being in order, and as well organized as possible, and explodes in rage when people touch his things without permission. He is not obsessive compulsive, but both his room and his workplace are always perfectly tidy and organized by alphabetical order.

3) He was always a top student in anything academic that he tried, and once he was done with his studies, he was taken to America at once, to work for Liberty University's research department.

4) He collects all kinds of things. His house has boxes upon boxes of stamps, beer caps, collectible pens, and a USB stick from every country and city that he has ever visited. He is also an avid collector of pins, and he keeps them in a large box right under his bed. The origins of his fascination with pins and needles in general is unknown. What is known is that he has been carrying them around ever since he was a small boy, and they, along with his eternal wit, have saved him from the inevitable bullying.

5) His father descends from a very old German noble family, and married Eduard's mother in Germany. Eduard lived his first years in the suburbs of Berlin, and then moved to Estonia when he was ten years old. As a result, Eduard can speak German even better than Estonian.

6) Even though he doesn't look the part, he can play very good drums, and has a marvellous singing voice. He won't ever admit it, as he believes he has all the musical ability of a cat in heat, loud, infuriating and off-key.

7) Eduard has an eidetic memory, and he loves collecting random information about people he doesn't even know.

8) He is homosexual, but not really interested in relationships. He doesn't hide his sexuality, but he's not outspoken about it either. That wasn't the same when he still was with his parents, when he hid it from everyone, even his closest friends. He knew his mother would understand, but he was always afraid of his father's reaction, if he ever learned.

9) He is an old friend of Tino, having known him from his middle school years. In fact, he possibly has a huge part in his love for alcohol, since he introduced him to the stuff. He regretted it later.

10) Anything about communism will send him into a seizuring, angry, incomprehensible rant against the whole ideology, countries, and anyone and everything that practices it. Especially if that involves Russia.

11) He is polite to new people, almost to a fault, and he's scared of making bad impressions, that's why he pays a lot of attention to his appearance, always dressed formally, no matter the occasion. He appears confident, but in reality, he's not all that savvy with people, as well as relationships and how they work, so once he's done talking about anything he's an expert in, he will find himself unable to come up with new subjects, and it will takeeffort for him to start a conversation.

12) He is extremely proud of his country and heritage, and he loves anything connected to Estonia. He will always brag about his country, and he will also brag about the internet access, and Estonian e-goverment.

13) It's hard for him to get used to his paper passport and other documents, and he's not really accustomed to using cash either, because he used to do everything online. Generally, he can't live without his laptop, and without internet access everywhere he goes.

14) He used to get together with his cousins during holidays, when he was a child. Those times of his life were very happy, even though he always had to take care of Raivis, the smallest and least brave of the three, always running after him and protecting him if he got into trouble. If he saw him get in danger, he would characteristically freeze, screech his name, and run after him, to protect him from whatever trouble he might get in.

15) He isn't really close to his cousins anymore, but they had been talking through internet, and he knows that they are in the same city. Continuing to be very protective (mostly by instinct) towards Raivis, he dislikes the fact that he's "married", and he dislikes Peter even more, being extremely wary of him. His relationship with Toris is more balanced. He knows that his cousin can take care of himself, and he's not as protective of him. However, he does want his attention a lot, as Toris is the eldest of the three, and had always been very kind to both him and Raivis.

Secret

Eduard had gotten in trouble with the goverment when he was younger, for hacking into the mainframe. He wasn't disciplined, because of the young of his age, and that he had not used any of the information he had access to, but it left a permanent mark on his criminal record. However, that offense was the main reason why he was hired at the Liberty University. Even now, he never dares to speak about this to anyone. Sometimes, he does miss entering whatever website he could think of, but he hasn't tried hacking into anyone's data ever since.
