HAIR COLOR/STYLE

Andrew's hair is a light brown colour, almost dirty blonde, and is incredibly unruly. Pieces of it stick up everywhere, and he looks as though he has constant bed-head. Many a time he has tried to style it somehow, but everything he does flops; he just sticks to the mess.

EYE COLOR

Irises of deep blue, rimmed with light gray. The closer to the pupil, the darker the blue.

BODY TYPE

Definitely not like a model in a magazine. Andrew is 6'1", and though he is strong, his muscles don't have much tone. If he were to take off his shirt, there would be no six-pack. Just a smooth belly, with an odd splotch of a birthmark an inch or so to the left of his belly-button. His legs make up most of his height, making it difficult to find pants long enough.

FACIAL FEATURES

There isn't normally a time you would see Andrew without a bit of scruff on his chin - unless he somehow mucked up his trimming job. It covers his square chin and jaw-line, with a faint moustache underneath his crooked nose. His smile is also crooked, though bright, and if he smiles broadly enough he gets "smile lines" on both sides of his mouth. When he is puzzled, his left eyebrow will raise (on account of the fact he can't lift the right one, no matter how hard he tries).

CLOTHING STYLE

Very casual dress style; normally Andrew can be found wearing jeans, a plain t-shirt, and from time to time a sweater or over shirt. If the clothes aren't comfortable, he won't wear them. For formal events, he does have a couple pairs of dress pants, a few dress shirts and a nice suit coat - but they normally reside in the back of his closet unless needed.

LIKES

• Acting
• Music
• Hockey (more so to play, instead of rooting for a team)
• Chinese Food
• Hanging out with people - very sociable.

DISLIKES

• Obnoxious people
• Cats (mostly because he is allergic)
• Spinach, cabbage and cauliflower
• Country music and classical music.

ADVANTAGES

Social - It is very easy for Andrew to meet new people, and even if he has nothing in common with them, it doesn't take him long to find something to talk about.
Determination - Ever since he was a child, when Andrew put his mind to something, he wouldn't stop until that something was accomplished. Throughout his life, his parents have given him many things, which makes him feel as though he has done nothing for himself. The choice to move abroad and go into theatre was his own, and though it is hard, his determination has so far won out.
Loyal/Trusting - If there is a secret you need to tell, Andrew is your man. His lips are sealed from the get-go, and he would never tell a soul.
Intelligent - His school marks show for it. Most of his marks in high school were in the high 80s or low 90s. He is able to think through things, and come up with logical solutions to problems.
Curiosity - If it peaks his interest, Andrew will investigate random things to figure out all he can about them. Certain subjects he has become well-versed in are Greek Tragedies, such as Oedipus. This trait also pertains to people, which goes along with his social personality.

DISADVANTAGES

Trust - After many years of being trusting of people who did not deserve such trust, Andrew has a hard time telling people the important things: what might be bothering him, things going on in his life, etc. This leads to him being a social, yet restrained emotionally.
Blunt - Andrew thinks that if something needs to be said, it should just be said. No softening of the blow. It leads him to upsetting situations, and from time to time, confrontations with others, sometimes even his friends.
Heart - Incredibly cheesy, yet true. Though he has a hard time expressing his feelings, once he has them, they're difficult to ignore. Andrew is a sucker for pretty personalities, and is usually getting his heart broken. Because of this, he does not have many intimate relationships.
Friendliness - Many would think being friendly would be an advantage, but they are also a disadvantage for Andrew. He will drop everything he is doing if a friend is in need of him, and it usually ends up leaving him with a pile of his own things to do, and not enough time to do them. Many times in the past, he has acted friendly to people who took advantage of him for that fact.

PERSONALITY

Andrew is a very sociable person. When in a new crowd, he is not afraid to say what's on his mind, and this courageous attitude is what brought most of his current friends to be his friends. Though he likes to hang out with people, he also needs his alone time; a time to think about things, and just be alone. During this time he will listen to music, either in his room, or on the go with his MP3 player.
A very trustworthy person, Andrew would be there for you if you needed him. His loyalty to his family and friends is strong, and rarely falters.
When in a poor mood, Andrew will often take to himself. He will bottle things deep down, believing that he should not trouble others with his menial problems.

SIBLINGS

Only Child

PET

A hooded rat named Spot. Not a very creative name, considering the large spot on the rodent's backside. A good-tempered creature, Andrew has had spot since the rat was only a baby.

WEALTH STATUS

Even though his parents are sending him money, it's mostly enough just to pay the rent of his small apartment; he has nothing for food or other necessities. He is currently looking for a job near the university, so he can work and still be able to study and pass his courses.

HISTORY

Abigail and Perry Smith met each other in Hollywood, where they were first getting their start as producers. When they got married, they both decided to move back to Nova Scotia to start their family. Thus, Andrew was born at the IWK Childrens' Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia on August 23, 1990.
As a child, Andrew was very adventurous. Living in a place surrounded by forests allowed made for a perfect place for him to grow, and of course, get lost. Many times he would go for walks, and Abigail and Perry would go search for him. As he got older, however, he began to find his way.
He also started his education. He attended Mount Uniacke Elementary and Middle School, and for high school attended Avon View High School in Windsor, Nova Scotia. Many of his extra-curricular activities related to theatre, though he was on the boys volleyball team, and played intermural hockey at the school.
After graduating, he took some time off to work and think about what he wanted to do. He decided he would move away from home, away from his parents guidance, and go to the USA. After living there for a year, he decided to sign up for University and get a major in his favourite subject: theatre.
Andrew has no knowlegde of demigods, unnaturals or nymphs. He is new to this area of Washington, and does not know many people. He is living in an on room apartment with his rat Spot, and keeps in contact with his friends through online communications.
