[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/YtySUM3.jpg[/img] [i]"The most evil thing I remember doing in my whole life was stealing five boxes of pizza from a rude fratboy."[/i] - Andrea Liana Grant[/center] [b]Full Name[/b] | [indent]Andrea Liana Grant[/indent] [b]Age[/b] | [indent]28[/indent] [b]Race[/b] | [indent]Cambion (Half-Human Half-Demon)[/indent] [b]Gender[/b] | [indent]Female[/indent] [b]Appearance[/b] [indent]Andrea is a 5'6" fit African American woman with some asian inflections, with slight muscle definition visible on her body. She has glowing fiery yellow irises surrounded by black sclera as part of her Cambion nature. Her dark brown hair is often worn in a ponytail of sorts, but is otherwise often kept straight. As part of her demonic heritage, she has two small horns that stand from her forehead, small but noticable fangs, slightly pointed ears and a slightly barbed prehensile tail. Andrea also possesses a pair of large functional bat-like wings that can manifest from her back at will. Often times Andrea wears tank tops so her wings can easily emerge when needed, though when the weather gets cooler she wears a leather jacket. Often seen wearing jeans as well as basic leather boots, Andrea is a bit more practical in terms of her outfits.[/indent] [b]Occupation[/b] | [indent]Andrea currently works at [i]Grant's Garage[/i] as one of the regular mechanics. The shop itself is owned by her grandparents, and while her grandparents provide more than enough for her, she's paid minimum wage for tax and legal reasons. She also is a member of the local Foxhound Militia, but her attendance is only on a weekend basis for meetings and training exercises, with actual adventure contracts coming in on a monthly basis.[/indent] [b]Personality[/b] | [indent]Andrea is a fun-loving and hedonistic individual who takes life as she likes it. Despite her hedonistic nature, she's isn't entirely self centered, as she has no qualms with helping other people out. Having grown up entirely on movies and video games, Andrea loves a good adventure, and is eager to do a little bit of heroics on the side of need be. As someone who tries to enjoy herself when the opportunity arises, she often acts with a little dramatic flair to spice things up. Some people might find that annoying but she doesn't care, though her demonic heritage has plagued her with issues of bullying and resentment from others all throughout her life. Because of this, she sometimes suffers from near crippling self doubt and identity issues. She loves firearms, automobiles, ice cream, egg rolls, pizza, video games, movies, art, and 80s music, while she hates soccer moms, pious people, gatekeeping individuals, fun police and poorly prepared poultry. Andrea is also a hopeless romantic who's attracted to both sexes, and while she might chalk it up to her Cambion nature, it's not something she believes entirely.[/indent] [b]Background[/b] | [indent]Andrea was born in New York City under a succubus mother named Virkatha, and a human father named Johnny Grant. Both of them were rather neglectful of their newborn child who came from an unplanned pregnancy, and often neglected her in favor of abusing drugs and alcohol together. It wasn't long before Andrea's human grandparents, Lionel and Susan Grant, learned of her neglect. Once they did, a custody battle took place and the grandparents won, taking Andrea back to their home in Springfield. Since Andrea was taken in by her grandparents at the age of 3, she didn't have much memory of her parents' mistreatment, though some of her shy and hesitant behavior could be explained by it. Since then, Andrea was raised by her grandparents, living the quiet but somewhat adventurous life that a kid normally would in a small town. She was often picked on as a kid for her demonic ancestry and Cambion nature, and it nearly got to the point where she nearly used her innate fire abilities to burn down her middle school at night. She was talked down from one of the teachers that knew her well, and after sorting things out with her grandparents, Andrea was able to get out of that situation with no charges, and continue on with her education. However, Andrea played lots of video games and watched lots of movies growing up, and in between watching and experiencing these adventures on the screen, she went out on adventures of her own around Fairview County with her childhood friends. Such experiences entertained the idea of being a town hero, though going out on adventures, helping people out and being accepted by the locals was something that she could only dream of for a long itme. After she turned 18, such a dream was slowly becoming a reality. While she also entertained the thought of being an actress or a film director, having helped out many of her friends in making short films when she could, she tried dabbling into other parts of life she enjoyed after graduating high school. Once she did graduate, she worked part-time as a mechanic at Grant's Garage, the garage itself owned and ran by her grandparents. As she worked, she fostered her skills in the things she loved. Her love for guns and cars was inherited from her grandfather, as she often went out hunting with him and helped him fix his vehicles. Her love for art and movies was inherited from her grandmother, the ex-hollywood actress helping Andrea out on movie and art-related endeavours. Life was relatively mundane for a few years, but shortly after Andrea turned 22, things became a little less mundane. In what Andrea calls 'Zombie Woods Incident', Andrea was called out to help a family fix their RV that got stranded in the woods. A horde of zombies in a darker side of the woods closed in on the RV, but Andrea managed to fix it in time and allow the family to escape to town. Because of this, she was accepted and well-regarded in town, sometimes referred to as the "Greased Angel" in an ironic and genuine manner. That incident, while it has drawn Andrea closer to the idea of being a town hero, has also prompted her to carry a firearm with her at all times, as that incident was a pretty close call for her. Since then, while working part-time at Grant's Garage, she joined up with the Foxhound Militia in order to learn how to become better at this 'heroing' thing. Over the course of six years, she's learned some martial arts, effective weapon usage, as well as some more 'tactical' expertise that some of the ex-military guys taught her. She's also been on several small adventures throughout the county too, often rescuing people from dangerous areas or hunting dangerous game. But most of the time, her life has been pretty quiet and mundane, her routine only sprinkled in by a few dates, parties and adventures. While she was content with where she was at and what she was doing, she hopes to be the woman that her family and friends could be proud of.[/indent] [b]Abilities[/b] | [indent]Andrea possesses a variety of abilities granted to her from her demonic ancestry. Chiefly among them, she could manifest a pair of leathery bat-like wings from her back, that will appear appear in a brief blaze of fire, and burn away when desummoned. Andrea also has the ability to manifest and control flames from any part of her body, whether it would be just heating herself up so she could cook an egg on her hand, make firey hands, or simply be a living flamethrower. Andrea could also easily resist heat and fire, reducing burns by two degrees, and is immune to fire she creates herself. Manifesting her wings and fire consumes energy, and can wear Andrea down if she does it too much. As a result, she eats quite a lot so she can use her firey abilities on a regular basis.[/indent] [b]Extra Notes[/b] | [indent]Andrea, when allowed, would often carry a [url=https://durys.s3.amazonaws.com/25454/img_4204.jpg]Beretta 92FS Compact[/url] 9mm pistol in a concealed place, often within her jeans or in the small of her back. Legally purchased, the Beretta is one of Andrea's go-to weapons. Her grandfather Lionel Grant is a decorated war hero who participated in the Vietnam War, and also was a popular local civil rights activist. Her grandmother Susan Grant was a small-time local celebrity for participating in a few Hollywood films back in the day, as well as an artist who's known locally for her paintings of the beautiful landscapes and creatures of Fairview County.
