Oh damn, I thought I wrote in down on my sheet but I must have forgotten, which is pretty dumb of me considering how essential it is to the character. How's he power-wise if I add this:

Extra-dimensional Power: Even though Edgar is unaware of his origins, that doesn't mean he can't take advantage of it. While he is far removed from his original strength and speed, he's still much stronger and faster than above-average humans. He can jump up to ten feet in the air, which he often does in the middle of combat while spinning or flipping, and can punch holes clean through cinder block walls, though he prefers not to since the last time he tried his hand was bruised for a week.

While the danger of guns is lessened by the generous laws of comic book physics, bullets are not your friends. Or any form of ranged attack really. Feels like a glory seeker should be a little flashier as well.

The gun form of his shiftblades don't fire bullets, they fire compressed air that pack the same strength as one of Edgar's punches. And that's only when he's about six-eight feet away. Any further and the power of the air-bullet-punch dramatically decreases. Plus that's only the one form of his shiftblades, as Edgar tends to switch between forms a lot in the midst of a fight. And he only really uses the guns to catch an opponent off-guard when they're out of range of his melee attacks.


edit-- Oh and in regards to the "from another dimension" thing, while yeah, he's a being from another dimension, he has no idea that he is. He just believes that his powers stem from some mutant gene, especially considering how common it is in the world. With so many people like him out there, he never bothered to question why he has his powers, why he doesn't age, or why he can't remember anything before waking up in a crater.
