Edwin's appearance loudly announces that this is a man earning minimum wage doing menial work for a large corporation.

Atop his head of well trimmed black hair is a yellow cap displaying a stylized sun with a broad toothy grin and smaller suns for eyes.

He wears a collared shirt with thin vertical white and yellow stripes. Embroidered above his heart is another instance of the sun-eyed toothy grin logo, and pinned to the other breast is a nametag that simply says "SMILE"

The theme of vertical white and yellow stripes continues downwards through his pants, though this is partially concealed by a fanny pack and the golden yellow waist-apron bearing the third instance of the grinning sun logo and bulging with various objects stored within its inner pockets.

The only hints of individuality are the pair of emoji themed sneakers he wears and the glimpses of tattoos visible underneath the edges of his cuffs and collars

Despite, or perhaps because of this generic corporate appearance, what really sticks in the memory of those who meet him is his broad genuine smile and the honest warmth in his voice as he greets people.
