Edmund and the Hunt: Edmund sees that Beasts are no more then beasts, no matter how lofty they were in life. They should be killed as quickly as possible, even if a mess must be made. He always attempts to do his part with as much haste as possible, and does his best to minimize unneeded damage, aside from the beasts themselves of course. He's heard tales of Hunters that lose themselves, and has decided to cling unto a few things to try to stave off the effects of his new-found job; a Music Box he picked up in Yharnam not too long ago, and finding often-raunchy humor in his surreal situation. The Music-Box represents the trade he believes he's made with the people of Yharnam, and the humor helps with making the horribleness of the average Hunt look better then it actually is.
Psychology: Edmund is a slightly selfish man with a brisk rate in all things and a desire to know more about Yharnam, if only to help pay his seen 'debt'. While on the somewhat less personable side, he certainly isn't an obnoxious twit. He is simply a man more focused on actual business instead of relations, most of the time. Nonetheless, much like any human, he does have an innate desire to be sociable. Stemming from his 'business-like' state of mind, he sees that he has a debt to Yharnam for its blood healing, and is focused on paying that debt, not being the type of man in any sense to leave a debt unpaid, even if the indebted party is himself. Finally, of course, much like any other young man he's full of energy and longing to use it.
A complex, if not divided young man, most certainly...
Appearance: Edmund is a young man of average height, but on the meatier side of weight. The majority of it muscle, he certainly looks like he should be a good Powder Keg one day. He has the features of a middle classed foreigner, with a somewhat worked look and none of the 'Yharnam particulars', at least, not just yet.
Occasionally, when he hasn't had the time for a blood transfusion, he gets quite pale and deathly looking without it. Evidence of the hard time he had before finding Yharnam. When healthy, he has a bit of a tan on his skin from both days of working outside and pleasant outings he used to have that haven't worn off.
History: Edmund grew up much like any other, with a milquetoast upbringing, but was afflicted with a curious disease when he became a young man. All of the doctors his family could contact were of no use, and so he decided to bring himself to Yharnam to see if their Blood-Healing could help. The Blood-Ministers of the healing church helped him greatly, and with his regained vigor, he decided to pay off his 'debt to Yharnam' by joining up with the Hunters he heard about.
He soon found himself agreeing with the Powder-Keg's bombastic, quick-and-easy way of dealing with the occasional Hunt, and shortly before the events to unfold decided to stick with one of his elders in the group, who he shares with an odd friendship that smashes the age-gap, just like a Powder-Keg Hunter should. Of course, with his concern for collateral damage, he isn't a very good Powder-Keg just yet.
Other: Edmund came to Yharnam to heal his odd affliction, which is easily staved off by the Good Blood, and has the universal need of all young men to find companionship in a strange land and... 'companionship' anywhere. While a tad selfish himself, he does have a moral compass he does his best to keep to, even during a Hunt. Of course, the allure of so much pillage and loot isn't easy to ignore...
In addition, he has a family outside of Yharnam, with a loving pair of parents and two siblings who'd help him in a heartbeat, but, of course, a Hunt isn't a good thing to get outsiders involved in at all.
Prior Relationships: Edmund is a good friend of Svenson Yorrick, who he finds a mentor on Yharnam and the Hunt in general, and who he offers new views and possibilites on things in return. Otherwise, he mostly kept to himself in the short time he's been in Yharnam so far.

Fam we gotta figure out where those piggies come from. And the doges.
Edit: forgot appearance and other relationships actually lmao
@Wernher If you're talking about how many blood-bullets our guys should be able to carry, I'm going to go with the mostly abstract 'it's the boom that matters' way.
Cannons shouldn't be able to fire often at all, while gatling guns can fire all day, every day. Pistols are higher on the scale, blunderbusses are sort of in the middle, and the piercing rifle is a bit low. Since, y'know, it's basically a sniper rifle and you can hit multiple dudes at once for full damage each? IIRC anyway.
TL;DR I agree. with your idea.
Nonetheless! I made a chatzy chatroom thingie, if anyone would like to chat in there more... personably...? feel free too, supplying a link: us20.chatzy.com/22626254046218
Edit: Eaugh, actually, chatting like this forum-side, y'know, high-speed short sentences, wouldn't it be better if e just had a chatroom? Lemme figure out a chatzy or something.
