[u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Andre Drake [U][b]Nickname:[/b][/u] None now, but may get one later. [U][b]Age:[/b][/u] 17 [U][b]Appreance:[/b][/u] Andre has dark brown hair and eyes. He stands precisely 5'8" tall, and has an extremely pale complexion, nearly albinic in nature. Despite how much he eats he isn't overweight, but has broad shoulders. Due to an astigmatism he has to wear glasses at all times. [B][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Male [U][B]Powers:[/b][/u] Andre was born with the ability to heal others. This can range from scrapes and headaches, to a torn tendon; the more grievous the injury, the more energy it takes from his body. Andre also knows how to summon familiars he has contracts with. However, as of now, his only contract is with [url=http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/338/0/6/earth_dragon_of_skyrim_by_saltso-d4i5dp7.jpg]Python[/url], a dragon from Ancient Greece.

He is quite socially awkward, more adept at interacting in small groups, or better yet, not face-to-face. He is a pop culture junkie, but only extends to films, books, and video games. He loves animals and music, as well as fantasy and science fiction. He treats his familiars with due respect, and they obey him with only minor backtalk, since his personality isn't "powerful" enough to completely dominate their personalities. [B][u]Background:[/u][/b] Andre has never had a fancy fairy tale life. Up until his parents' divorce when he was eight, Andre's father was physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive towards him, his older sister, and his mother. At ten his mother attempted to commit suicide, and he and his sister were placed in foster care. However it was then that Andre discovered his ability to heal. The foster family the siblings were placed with were kind and loving, and he had two older foster brothers and a younger foster sister. When going through his foster brother Jay's books, he found a book on summoning and contracts. Jay taught Andre in secret. His first (and only) familiar was a dragon from Ancient Greece named Python. However the once-great and powerful earth dragon had been stripped of his power and shrunken down to the size of a house cat. The two have had many near-misses, and because of that he's moved around a lot. The combination of all of this has made Andre a shut-in who never comes outside unless it's absolutely necessary (ie- school, weddings and funerals). He has his own job writing columns for a tabloid e-magazine, which gives him spending cash. His mother and sister know about Python and his powers, but keep their lips sealed. Despite being a shut-in he does participate in several clubs. [B][u]Likes:[/u][/b] See Hobbies section. His taste in music ranges from Celtic to 80's rock.
