Description

Mr. James Allen Edwards


Image


Not While I’m Around
From the musical Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

“Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb
I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, Mum

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...”

Image

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 168 pounds

Build: Lean and muscular

Hair Colour: Sandy blonde.

Eye Colour: Chocolate brown

Scars?: Multiple small scratches here or there, from rough housing when he was little. A scar just above his eyebrow from when he was three (he doesn’t remember how he came to it).



Brief written description: James looks much older than he is. His eyes are the color of milk chocolate, with golden flecks around the center of his iris. In the winter his hair becomes almost brown in color, but in the summer it lightens back to a sandy blonde. He works with horses, and enjoy running, so he maintains a high level of physical fitness. Of all his features, he hates his nose the most because he believes it is too big for his face. His grin is a wide Cheshire smile that Clara has a gift for bringing out of him. His skin is a medium tan in color, from working in the fields. He never knew his real parents, but he likes to think that he resembles his adopted father.

Clothing preference: James likes to wear anything that he can run in. He loathes being in formal attire, but when the occasion calls for it he looks rather nice in them. He is more often than not in a button down shirt with loose slacks, when he is in the house or in town. When he is working in the fields, he prefers work pants and no shirt.

Written description: James is not a complicated boy. He knows what he wants, and he goes for it. He is blunt, and often rude. Hot-headed and condescending. He does not like the sleepy little village his sister moved to, and wants to move them back to the city. James’ mother complex has him fixated on Clara and he can’t stand the thought of anyone else having her. He is stubborn and can hold a grudge for years. James is very talented at lying, sneaking around, and making people like him. He will make you believe you are his friend, and then manipulate you into doing whatever it is he wants from you. It’s not that James doesn’t have a heart, it’s just he doesn’t feel the need to be particularly nice to anyone below him or in the village. Almost everyone is older than him, and that causes him to be very bored. James is snide and sarcastic, in a charming and mysterious sort of way.

Relationship Status: Otherwise engaged. “She’s the only one I want.”

Family: Clara Kennington, his adopted sister. Martha Edwards, his adopted mother. Robert Edwards, his adopted father.

History:
James does not have much memory of his life before he came to live with the Edwards. He does remember growing up in their middle-class home and having an enjoyable life there. He went to school with the other boys, and excelled in school. He had wanted to become a doctor. When Clara came home, something was different about her. She looked more beautiful than he had ever remembered her looking. She had left an ugly duckling that he would pick on, despite being younger than her. Something in him started to grow. When their parents died, Clara asked him to move in with her. Soon after the passing of their parents, her husband fell ill as well. At his graveside James made a secret promise to him to watch over Clara, like her husband should have. To be there for her, and to never let her feel lonely.
James has since abandoned his dreams of becoming a doctor to live with Clara in the small village and help her manage her estates. Knowing how much it means to her to be in control, he makes no effort to take over for her. Instead, he gently offers his advice when it is asked for, and leaves the rest to her. Recently, Clara has asked him to take up his studies again. Reluctantly, he has agreed. Now he spends his days working, and his night studying. Clara says she is set on him becoming a doctor, as he had dreamed to be. James just wants to make her happy.
