About

"Severe Weather" Eddie, or Eddie, is the Cafe's self-appointed resident meteorologist and severe weather nut (case.) He joined on June 26, 2006, but was unable to post until about a week later. Eddie is a full-time meteorology student attending school in New Hampshire, though he lives in Virginia. When not at college, Eddie can be found working at Lowe's Home Improvement Center. He is PhantomKitty's brother.

Fan Fiction

Fan Artwork

Eddie has produced a few pieces of Rangery artwork since joining. All can be found on the RRDatabase. [1] In addition, he drew comics for two of the awards for the 2006 Golden Acorn Awards. He is currently working on pictures for Owlor's New and Improved Acorn Cafe Group Portrait.

3D Animations and Artwork

Eddie is also a 3D computer animator and modeler, and has produced a few pieces specifically for the Cafe. He created the background picture for Owler's New and Improved Cafe Group Portrait, and he did a render of a Spambot for the "Spambot Welcome Thread." Additionally, following the Tamira and UrthQuake's Excellent Adventure thread, Eddie created a brief animation featuring a space battle from that round robin. He is currently working on an animation of the Cafe Starfleet taking on an armada of spambots, since the Cafe has had problems with them.==Awards== 2006 Golden Acorn Awards:

Eddie at the Cafe

Eddie also has a self-insertion character for the numerous round robins that take place at the Cafe.

Appearance

Eddie is a red fox. He has brown hair and eyes, and he wears a pair of glasses due to his terrible eyesight. His clothing matches what he usually wears in real life: a wide-brimmed Boy Scout campaign hat (often mistaken for a cowboy hat), a pair of blue jeans, a T-shirt, and a green short-sleeved work shirt. Eddie often wears the work shirt unbuttoned like a vest, though other times he will button it up.

In addition to these clothes, Eddie usually has a large multitool, which he keeps in a pouch hooked to his belt. He also carries a silver Colt M1911A1 .45 cal semi-automatic handgun. His gun can fire real ammunition, paintball ammunition, and tranquilizer rounds.

Occasionally, Eddie will wear the uniform of a United States Navy captain (when he is on his battleship, the USS Texas) or a modified United States Air Force uniform, with the rank of colonel (when commanding the spacegoing battlecruiser USS ''Columbia''.)

Personality

Eddie has described his personality on the Cafe as a combination of Han Solo, Baloo Bear from Talespin, and Colonel Jack O'Neil from Stargate SG-1. He is a "take charge" kind of guy, and will go to great lengths to help a friend in need. Eddie is "smarter than the average fox," so to speak, and can think quickly on his feet (something that helps him in command positions.) He enjoys just about anything starship related.

Ships

Eddie is fascinated with battleships. To that end, he has a small flotilla at the Acorn Cafe. He has two different classes of ships: three Texas-class oceangoing battleships: USS Texas, BB-71, USS Montana, BB-72, and USS Alaska, BB-73, and two Columbia-class starships (classified as battlecruisers): USS Columbia, BCX-01, and USS Hyperion, BCX-02. In addition to the ships, Eddie drives a humongous blue 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck.
