[hider=Andy the Abysswalker] Appearance: [img]https://i.imgur.com/9Hkx0iB.jpg[/img] [hr] Name: Anderson "Andy" Thorlund Gender: Male Age: 14 Height: 5'7 Weight: 144lbs Hair style: Messy and spiky Hair color: Auburn Eye color: Orange Skin color: Fair Whistle: None Speech accent: Sounds like a bumpkin [hr] Personality: Andy can be pretty rash when it comes to investigating the unknown. He knows things can be dangerous so he tries to plan a little, but they're very short term and don't really sound well thought out. He does that since he believes in the Abyss, you can never predict everything, so you have to improvise. Having grown up in both a rough city and a dangerous wilderness, he tends to look out only for himself, and is quick to make his own decisions. He doesn't hesitate but that also means he doesn't really think either. Sometimes he acts more like an animal than a person. Background: Andy wasn't always an orphan. He had parents, but they weren't very good one. His mother was a poor, sick girl who was abandoned by her family. His father was once a noble until he got caught stealing from his family, who disowned him. His parents really love each other, but due to the mother's constant illness, she needed medicine to stay alive and wasn't able to work. This forced his father to resort to shady work, and when Andy was born, he had to help. Andy's father made his son help him rob stores and steal from people. Even had to help his father when he got into fights. Andy was barely ten years old when his dad got killed in a street brawl. His mother died shortly soon after from her illness. For a while Andy had lived alone in the streets using what little his parents taught him. Panhandling money was mostly safe, but when people would come and try to steal from him, he fought like how his father had taught him. When things were really bad he learned how to break into locks and sneak into places. One day however he had a bad run in with a gang of kids, and Andy had to leave the city. He fled into the forest where he thought maybe he could steal from farms. But even those farmers made sure that he couldn't get close to their barns. So Andy had to go deeper, deeper into the woods. He was only twelve years old when he had to eek out an existence in the wilderness, quickly learning how to hunt, find shelter, and how to treat his own injuries. Food was a little bit easier for him to get once he figured out how to hunt on his own. Then one day while Andy was trying to chase down some rabbits, he found a dead body. From the wounds, the corpse was attacked, managed to escape, but then died from their injuries. The body had a lot of good stuff on it; relics, food, even equipment. These things Andy took. Something that the body had though was a map and a whistle. This was how Andy learned of Orth and of the Abyss. Somehow, Andy knew this was fate. He didn't want to live and die a nobody in the middle of the woods or in a gutter. He wanted to become a legend. So he was going to go into this Abyss, become someone great. He wanted to become a White Whistle so that his name would be remembered forever. Talents: Andy is good at spotting things. Whether it's an escape route, something shiny, prey, or dangers, he'll see it first. He's also pretty tough since he had to endure a lot of hardships in his life, both mental and physical ones. He has quick reflexes and is a fast thinker so he can make decisions and plans on the fly.
