[b][color=303DFF]Personality:[/color][/b] 
	Andrew's personality is a bit of an interesting one. He tends to be a bit of a joker, making a joke here or there whenever possible, not even caring if it is a good time for one or not. It is just who he is, and there is nothing that can really be done about it no matter how much others might try and get him to stop. Drew can also be a bit on the impulsive side, generally not thinking twice about anything he makes or whatever he does. This obvious in the fact that he didn't think of the repercussions that were to come from him building his own version of the Ant-Man suit. He also will make several different references to TV shows and the like, odds are if you so much as mention Star Trek or Star Wars, he will drag you into a conversation about it whether you want him to or not.

	He can be considered a bit irresponsible as well, tending to just mess around with anything, and not being too careful about what it is he is doing. This can cause some problems, especially given his field of work, but somehow he manages to get past all of that. Despite all of this, Andrew is a very brave individual, and won't hesitate to try and protect those around him no matter the risk to himself. It was one of the reasons why he chose to join X-Factor, in order to protect others. This ties in with his stubborn streak that can prove problematic if he gets into an argument with someone else over what is going on or something like that.

[b][color=303DFF]Why did you join X-Factor?:[/color][/b] Drew has had a bit of an interesting time finding work to say the least. A few months after he lost his job at Pym Tech, and a month or so after he managed to get his own shrinking suit of sorts to work, he was offered a job at Serval Industries. With not too many other options for work, and having been supporting himself by acting as a tutor to some college students, he took the job with Serval, hoping to get back to inventing and creating things. He ended up with the X-Factor team, but still does some work that involves technology for Serval. He'd only been working with Serval for about 6 months before he was asked to join X-Factor, having done a bit of work with his suit before then, and he was able to get it completely working before he joined the team.

[b][color=303DFF]General History:[/color][/b] 
	Drew has always known that he was a lot smarter then just about everyone else when he was growing up. At least those he grew up with anyway, and he was the youngest, and only boy, out of 6 kids (in order of age, Kara, Alice, Bonnie, Jewel, and Sheila). His father had never been in the picture really, Drew had only been 2 years old when his father left, or more of disappeared really. No one would tell him what happened or where he had gone, even when he got older. His mother Megan, raised him and his sisters by herself, working 2 jobs to get by, leaving him to generally be taken care of by his oldest sister who was 10 years older then him, Kara.

	It soon became apparent that Andrew was different then the rest of his family, and different from the others around him. At a young age, he started drawing up designs, having heard of superheroes like Captain America and the sort of stories that circulated about the original Ant-Man, for his own suit of sorts, one that relied on technology like the Ant-Man suit and not so much on super powers. He easily aced his classes in school, and soon he found himself on occasion teaching the teachers about certain subjects. Eventually, this led him to being able to graduate from high school when he was 15 years old, and he moved on with a full academic scholarship to the University of California.

	While at the university, he kept mostly to himself, studying mechanical engineering and learning as much about technology as he possibly could. After several years, he eventually managed to earn his degree in Mechanical Engineering and he managed to land himself a job at Pym Tech when he graduated. This was something big for him, as he always admired Hank Pym and wanted to be like him, and he worked hard to get any sort of recognition for his work. He still had ideas on how to potentially create a shrinking suit that didn't rely on the Pym Particle, but would be able to do virtually the same thing as the Ant-Man suit. Andrew worked on this project in his spare time as he went about building a suit of his own that would use a dwarf star alloy in order to get the shrinking and enlarging effect.

	This however, did not go unnoticed, and after working at Pym Tech for 5 years, Hank Pym fired him, fearing that he was getting too close to recreating the Ant-Man suit. Though Pym would never admit that out right, Drew knew deep down that it was the reason why he lost his job. However, this didn't dissuade him, and in between doing a bit of odds and ends jobs to get by, he still continued working on his suit, but due to not having much in the way of resources, his progress was slowed down. This was around the time when he was approached with a job offer for Serval Industries (he had been offered a job at Hammer Tech but he wanted to work at a place where things worked and didn't blow up or break constantly) and he took the job there.

	With that, he was able to finally finish his suit, and after that, he was offered the chance to join the X-Factor team. This was the whole reason he had started making the suit in the first place, to be a superhero and to help others, so he didn't hesitate to join up with them. However, this wasn't without a few problems, as Stark Industries tried to sue him over the whole, his suit resembled the Iron Man suits and copyright infringement or something like that. Drew stayed calm, and showed them, and the court, that the technology he was using was different from the Iron Man suits, and so the case was dropped and he was allowed to continuing using it.
