Not as tall or clearly muscular as 004, Andrei is still quite imposing physically, a heavy-set, thick-limbed man of broad shoulders and a barrel of a chest with a log-like neck. When not wearing his cyborg suit he can often be seen clad in tough military boots, khaki cargo pants and a black tanktop which is actually the top of a black singlet, topping off his outfit with a military-style olive turtleneck sweater.

[b]Additional Power:[/b]
-Hell Fighter: Andrei was always a naturally gifted specimen, a freak athlete with tremendous potential, and so his augmentations sought to exploit these traits. Using him as a testbed for enhancing the human body without extensive replacement or reconstruction, Andrei’s heart and much of his blood were infused with experimental nanomachines which boosted his physical attributes through a long, grueling period of adaptation that left his hair prematurely grey. Now formidable in this field even amongst his peers (save for power picks) and exceedingly hard to damage or even slow down, Andrei’s key trait is monstrous physical strength that allows him to effortlessly overpower even other cyborgs.

[b]BRIEF Bio:[/b]
There’s an unfounded yet not entirely irrational theory that Andrei Belyj was part of some superhuman development plan before becoming a cyborg, for he was a one-of-a-kind athletic talent, a man who combined a natural gift with potential for growth and a passion for self development. Recognizing his talents from an early age the Soviet Union put him through an especially devised olympic development program, always eager to best their hated western adversaries in all fields, and from here he also branched out into training in the Red Army's hand to hand combat system known as Sambo.

Though he surpassed all expectations as an athlete, Andrei felt stifled by the strict structure of the program and he felt no love for the Soviet cause, as his family had suffered from the purges and only his newfound status protected them from further scrutiny. Eventually he defected and took his family with him, fleeing to the perceived freedom of the western world hounded by soviet agents. Sacrificing himself and suffering terrible wounds so his loved ones might escape their hunters, it was for the promise that his family would live in peace that he allowed himself to be taken and experimented on.

[b]Notes:[/b]
Ultimately, Andrei never participated in major international competitions. He was kept out of the 1980 Olympics as a hidden weapon to use against the boycotting americans the next games, which the Soviet Union ultimately boycotted as well, and his handlers saw the Goodwill Games of 86 as beneath him. Andrei himself sabotaged his entry into the 1988 Olympics to be forced into the Goodwill Games of 1990 in Seattle, when he defected.
