Edson

History
In the cancelled game and the 2013 version of Project Dream, it followed a boy adventurer by the name of Edison, who along with his girlfriend Madeleine, gets tangled up with a bunch of no-good Pirates named Flintlock Jock, Grim Jim and their leader, the infamous Captain Blackeye. The game was a seafaring adventure, featuring a large traversable ocean dotted with locales such as Prickly Pear Isle, boss fights with large Trolls and Squids, and an RPG stat element akin to The Legend of Zelda series. As development continued on the pirate themed quest the game proved to be a little too epic, as it was decided that the adventure was too big to fit on the SNES and so the rest of the production was shifted to the N64. Development picked up where it had left off and Rare continued to create the epic quest utilizing a bizarre and elaborate flooring system which would stretch polygons to create interesting three dimensional environments, however even the Nintendo 64 lacked the processing power to display the game at a steady rate. Once Mario 64 had launched and began turning heads it was clear that Dream was going to need a serious reworking to follow the path of the portly plumber. Meanwhile things were looking fantastic for the Killer Instinct team who used the trusted route provided by Mario 64 to create "Conker's Quest", and once the Dream team had gotten a taste of the antics of the Red Squirrel it became clear that Dream was getting stale, and what it needed now was an animal lead to take the protagonist position that Conker had inspired. The final nail in the coffin for Project Dream was when Edison had been removed due to being considered too generic, and so Rare began to experiment with several woodland characters that had previously been secondary characters, including a 'dopey dog, a rabbit that looked like a man, and a bear' that would introduce the all-too-familiar anthropomorphic proportions to the Banjo universe. Recently, Edge Magazine put together an article covering many pieces of Rare's history, which included Edison's offical design, which is the picture above.

Characteristics
Because Edison and his game were discarded, we do not fully know about his personality. However, it can be said that since he stirred up trouble with pirates he is mischievous. It can also be argued that because he was in fact a inspiration for creating Banjo it can be said that he is a kind and polite person, but just seems to get into a lot of mishaps such as Banjo, but this is just speculation. Edison is shown in only two pictures, but it is clearly visble what he's wearing. He is always seen with a light green jacket, Underneath we see that he wears a black short-sleeved shirt along with orange pants and a belt buckle, two belts to keep the ends of his pants tucked in his brown boots (in the screen shot it is clearly visible that his shorts look almost identical to Banjo's), and wooden gauntlets or bracelets. He is shown to have brown and spikey hair, many believe that he has blue or blue-green eyes.

Music
The music for the game was composed by Grant Kirkhope. Some of the songs were put into Viva Pinata. Many of the songs he composed can be found here.
