[b]Name:[/b] Andrew Colton [b]Nicknames:[/b] Drew [b]Callsign:[/b] Proxy [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Andrew stands at around 5'11, and possesses a lean, wiry build. He's somewhat young at nineteen years of age, though his face is already a bit weathered from his earlier life. He has short, dark brown hair and dull green eyes, along with a short nose and high eyebrows. Andrew weighs in at roughly 150 pounds. [b]Skills and Talents:[/b] While a respectable marksman in his own right, Andrew's real strength lies in his vast knowledge of computer science and network security. Because of these two specializations, Andrew possesses a sharp, quick mind accustomed to multitasking, forward thinking, and problem-solving. His thoughts often outpace his actions and words, and due to this he sometimes speaks gibberish or more often mutters under his breath. [[ Thought this part fit best here. ]] [b]Personal Memento:[/b] A small memory stick filled with photos of his father, attached to a cheap chain and hung around his neck. [b]Biography:[/b] Andrew grew up on Gaia, his mother a drug addict and his father a senior member of one of the many gangs existing in the crumbling super-city they lived in. As was per usual for those that still lived on the former homeworld of humanity, they lived in severe poverty. Andrew's childhood was marred by almost constant violence due to his father's gang membership, and a lack of anything resembling a parental figure from his mother; though his father tried his best to fill that hole. He was often left alone, to fend for himself in their destitute household. As such, Andrew learned to be independent, relying on himself rather than on others. He took up repairing old, dysfunctional electrical devices in his ample free-time as a means of entertainment, retrieved from the many junk-piles nearby his home. Andrew became increasingly familiar with all the intricacies of dozens of different devices, especially computers, at a rather young age. He managed to fully repair an old but surprisingly well-preserved tablet, which soon turned into his personal computer. He taught himself two coding languages by age thirteen, and after several modifications to the tablet, began exploring various networks at age fifteen. Soon afterwards his father was killed by a rival gang, who then swooped in and swallowed up his father's gang's territory. His mother disappeared a few nights later, and Andrew never saw her again. Now completely on his own, Andrew began turning an apartment nearby into a makeshift base. He managed to find parts for several broken servers, and created his own air-gapped network. He fixed up the apartment doors to operate through a signal from his tablet, and set up a few cameras near the door to monitor anyone seeking entrance. Now impressively affluent with several different computer systems, Andrew began his foray into network hacking. At first it was somewhat innocent - entering protected networks through backdoors and observing activity - but it soon turned malicious. He began secretly stealing files, and even shutting down some of the networks themselves. This continued on for two years until one day Andrew made a stupid boast to one of his neighbors after infiltrating the local gang's network and the same gang came knocking at Andrew's door. He was able to escape relatively unscathed thanks to his security systems, but it was too close a call for Andrew, and now he was on the gang's wanted list. He decided to join up with the GC Military, coming up with no other favorable alternative. Andrew destroyed his servers and downloaded the photos he had of his father from his tablet onto a portable memory stick, though he regretfully had to leave behind the multitude of high-resolution pornography he also had on his tablet. He only looked back once.
