Appearance:
Andrew is what most people would call a ‘stunner’. Lets start with his facial features. His eyes are a striking brownish color. They’re always lined with a thick layer of eye liner, but nothing else. Andrew’s not a big fan of immense make up. That’s why he only wears eyeliner and maybe a dash of eye shadow if it’s a special occasion. His face is egg shaped, which Andrew hates because it makes his chin all pointy. He wishes he could reshape his head somehow, but obviously there hasn’t been a surgery created for that. But as soon as there is, he’ll be the first customer. Though most people say they love the shape of his head when he complains about it, he doesn’t believe them. His nose is fairly large, another thing he hates about his face. He might do like Michael Jackson and get a nose job. Hah, not really, but he does hate his nose.
Andrew is a small boy. I wouldn’t call him scrawny, but he is definitely thinner than normal guys. Actually, he’s thinner than most girls. His legs are long and thin, but have some muscle. His torso is also fairly long. He stands at about 5’11. A pretty good height for a guy his age, to Andrew it was anyway. When he was younger he prayed that he wouldn’t get any taller than six feet, and so far his prayers were paying off. Andrew maybe be thin, but he isn’t just skin and bones. He has muscle all throughout his body, but the most noticeable is his abs. He has a nice, toned pack of abs that he worked very hard to obtain. Andrew likes to stay fit. He didn’t want to be one of those scrawny guys with a little pouchy stomach.
Andrew’s hair is ever so precious to him. Judging by the deep brown color of his eyebrows, blonde obviously isn’t his natural hair color. Yes his real hair color is a nice chocolaty brown, but a few years ago he decided that just plain brown was kind of boring. Everyone loved blondes anyway, right? So he dyed his hair a metallic blonde, with a brown streak towards the front. But it’s barely noticeable because it’s buried in a heap of blondeness. His hair style is sort of a mullet looking style. It’s thick up top, sticking up towards the back and top of his head, with side swept bangs in the front that covers just a bit of his right eye. Sometimes he’ll dye his hair so that half of it is blonde and half is brown, but only when he’s feeling like he needed a change.
Andrew loves clothes. His outfits are always carefully put together and he makes sure that he looks good 24/7. His closet is full of t-shirts in an assortment of colors, lime green, blue, red, orange, white, etc. He loves the bright colors. But he’ll wear black or brown every now and then. These t-shirts are usually band shirts or shirts with random designs on them that he gets at random stores. He isn’t one for caring about name brands. He just gets what looks good. Andrew has a large number of jackets, some with hoods and some with just collars, most of them have collars though. He likes jackets with fur lining the inside and sometimes leather jackets are fashionable. As for pants, Andrew almost always wears jeans. He hates shorts and avoids them as best as he can. His jeans are usually pretty tight, but loose enough so he can move around easily in them.
Accessories are a big part of Andrew’s wardrobe. He has a ton of rings that he always wears, at least three on three of his fingers on each hand. He also has a ton of necklaces and those jelly-like bracelets you can get from Claires or Hot Topic. Another love of Andrew’s are belts. He loves them all. Like so much of his clothing, he has many different colored studded belts. And because he has such an interesting style, he sometimes wears two at once and crosses them so that they make a cool little X. Yeah that’s probably his favorite way to wear belts. Shoes are another big part of Andrew’s wardrobe. He wears mostly Converse that he has in an assortment of colors. A couple pairs of Vans are stashed away in his closet as well.
Personality:
Andrew is ‘extremely weird’ according to his peers from High school. Andrew has always and always will have a deep respect and love for his friends. Without them he believes there’s no reason to live. Whenever he greets one of his friends he gives them a bear hug and sometimes jumps on their back for a surprise attack as if he hadn’t seen them in a bajillion years. He’s always up for a good time with his buddies and hates being alone. I guess he’s just not the kind of guy who can go off someplace and have a good time by himself. He loves hanging out with friends in a big group so he doesn’t feel all alone. He always needs someone with him if he’s going out someplace, unless it’s something like the store or the mall. That he can do by himself.
Andrew is a silly guy and is often called a dork. But it’s not in a bad way; Andrew is the kind of guy that can make anyone laugh; unless you’re like some kind of emotionless zombie. His facial expressions are mostly what gets to people. He is often sarcastic in the most serious situations, but it’s almost like he just can’t help it. He likes to see people happy. Now his silliness often brings out his clutzy side which is another thing that people love about Andrew. He rarely ever gets embarrassed when he’s walking down the street and all of a sudden trips because he was laughing so hard that he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going. He just laughs at himself and gets right back on up.
But don’t get me wrong, Andrew isn’t goofy all the time. That’s pretty much impossible. He’s only his goofy self around his friends. Around strangers he acts pretty quiet and reserved. It’s not that he’s shy oh no, he just has trouble trusting strangers, what with all the gang violence around the city. But can you blame him? Every he meets could be a possible enemy or a criminal of some kind. So when you first meet Andrew he might seem kind of mean, but that’s just him being careful. Some people even interpret his quietness as ignorance. Don’t make that mistake because Andrew is far from ignorant.
Another great thing about Andrew is that he can be very sarcastic. He actually loves sarcasm and the reactions of some people when he uses it. I guess you could say he likes to play with people’s minds. Some reactions just make him want to laugh. Speaking of laugh, Andrew seems to laugh at people more than with them. He offers those laughs that say ‘ahaha you’re an idiot’ or ‘you don’t scare me’.
Andrew can sometimes be a real jack ass. But it’s only when someone else is being the jack ass first. He loves it when people underestimate him because of his appearance. People think because he’s thin and slightly feminine looking, he can’t defend himself. Well those people are very wrong. He may not like to, but he’s a pretty good fighter as long as he’s not up against some body builder type. He’s a fast little one, so if he is against someone bigger than him he could always dodge a few punches or run away screaming. Hah. No but really, piss him off enough he might throw a punch or two. You never know with Andrew because one minute he’ll be happy go lucky and the next he’ll be at your throat with that precious pocket knife of his.
Also, because he’s so close to all of his friends it’s pretty bad if you screw him over. There’s a possibility that he’ll never forgive you. You’d really have to do some work to make it on his forgiven list. Belgium chocolates, a message in the sky, public apology, all that jazz is required for Andrew’s forgiveness. None of this ‘everyone deserves a second chance’ bull shit. This is usually the situation where Andrew is called a jack ass. But whatever, they shouldn’t have screwed up.

History:
Andrew lived in Vegas his whole life and has always been in love with it. He and his brother were so close in their toddler days, you never saw one without the other. This brother bonding continued through elementary school and the first year of middle school. Of course like most sibling relationships, Andrew looked up to his older brother, Ryan. Andrew was in seventh grade and Ryan was a freshman when the two began drifting apart. They began to get on each others nerves, they fought almost all the time, and Ryan began to get embarrassed whenever Andrew wanted to hang out with him and his friends. Of course Ryan was the perfect son; good grades, captain and quarterback of the football team, and his success continued all throughout High school.
Andrew was left in Ryan’s shadow, always addressed as Ryan’s little brother. Whenever he met new people they would almost always say some version of ‘oh hey, you’re Ryan Robinson’s brother, aren’t you?’ That’s when Andrew began to change his image. He tried football but he never got up to the standards that Ryan had left for him. He began growing his hair out, wearing tighter clothing, chains, etc. And when he and his family moved to New York, Andrew changed completely. Just the fact that he had to move because Ryan had some football meeting thing with the NFL made Andrew pissed of to a t. As soon as they moved into the new house, Andrew didn’t bother unpacking. He took his stuff and left without even a goodbye. He couldn’t handle it anymore and the only solution that Andrew could come up with was to run away. By this time, Andrew was 14 and to him, ready to be out on his own.
Andrew lived on the streets for a long time. Everyday was a struggle and when he ran out of money, he had to find a job of some kind so he could take care of himself. That’s how he got into the drug business. He managed to steal some valuables to sell so he could stock up on cocaine and pot. He would buy the drugs from a dealer and then sell them himself at a slightly higher price. He ran this business until he could afford to get his own place. It was a small apartment at first. But as his business flourished, he soon could afford his own house. Granted it wasn’t a huge house, but it was good enough for Andrew. He still sells now, but only when in desperate need for money. Andrew never used the products he sold. He’d seen what it did to people, how it affected them. He knew that it wasn’t worth it.
Andrew joined the Legends when he was sixteen. He heard of the gangs of New York, but hadn’t planned on getting involved. He learned the ropes and grew close to his gang members. They were like his second family. The gang life seemed to toughen him up, even more so than selling drugs. He was taught how to fend for himself, which Andrew was completely grateful for seeing how thin he was. Every now and then, Andrew would wonder about his brother every now and then. He hadn’t heard about him on the news about being a famous professional football player, so that struck Andrew’s curiosity. But he grew to hate his brother. Ryan took the spotlight from Andrew, a spotlight that actually Andrew never had. He took the attention and left Andrew in the dirt. If he were to be reunited with Ryan, his fury would be unleashed.
He doesn’t talk about his brother to anyone. That’s mostly why he’s the way he is. Andrew hides his real feelings behind happiness to avoid being questioned about his past. If you’re happy, then people will automatically assume that you had it good way back when. And if people wanted to assume that about Andrew, he was perfectly fine with it.
