Personality:
Andrew is a very nice though meek fellow that has the patience of a saint and humbleness born from a life of hardship. He takes his passions very seriously and devotes most of his time to them when possible, though he enjoys his peaceful life he does sometimes want to be adventurous and brave, maybe even get the girl ’Though he kinda doubts that will ever happen’. However due to constant failures with his alchemy, being relentlessly bullied as a child, and almost dying a few times in his life has had an effect on his self-esteem.

Bio:
Andrew was left at the New Eden Orphanage as a baby in a basket, no note, no sight of the ones that left him at the doorstep, just a baby crying in the rain, alone. Earlier in his life, he showed incredible intelligence and tenderness that most adults did not have though he did not have it easy, all throughout his childhood, he was mocked, teased, and sometimes beat up by the other children in the orphanage. So much so he became rather hesitant and lacked any kind of confidence, not being adopted by anyone did add to it he felt so alone and believed himself to be worthless.
At the age of 20 he left the orphanage, in those later years he had found a fascination with Alchemy and wanted to study it in depth… He was rather bad at it, not due to not getting the material it was so clear to him that it was like staring through a window. But the years of abuse has affected his mental state and made it him mess up more than he should, breaking the patience of many masters one even calling him a. ‘Worthless stool stain’ That one struck him so hard that he decided to leave New Eden for Oblitus, a right of passage to becoming more thick skinned and gain some pride, is what he thought as he left. but a voice in the back of his head told him he was just running away from those who hurt him ‘How spineless’.
Andrew spent years in Oblitus, none of it was easy as he thought it would have been. Some settlements welcomed a newcomer with open arms if some suspicion. Others did not greet him with such kindness rather they could be hostile and very xenophobic. From his travels, he got better at Alchemy and gained some pride, yet the ghost of the past still seemed to whittle it away with each thought wasted on them. In all those years though he found a new passion out in these unforgiving wilds. The Harbingers. Some would look at him like he was a madman or some cultist, but he was just a fan of their lore, powers, and (though it was alway embarrassing to admit) he felt like they helped him through his harder days, he even acquired a book that documented all their accomplishments… Those accomplishments that could be recorded.
It would seem that fate would have a twisted sense of humor on one rainy night. Andrew was caught in a violent rain storm and need sanctuary, finding it in the image of a very tall, imposing tower that seemed to just appear out of nowhere. Ignoring his sixth sense that told him danger was behind those doors he entered into the tower of sin. He rarely talks about what happened next, only saying that he barely escaped only managing to loot a gauntlet that manifested 6 spheres that could form omni-purpose energy constructs that act as shields and a large scar across his chest. After that, he decided to leave the unforgiving land of Oblitus and took refuge in Abbadon, living in relative peace some incidents notwithstanding, such as recently with the Golem attacks…. And his home being crushed by one flying through the air as if it was thrown. Destitute and without money he wonders the street.
