« CHARACTER INFORMATION »

Character: Andrew Kreiss
Canon: Identity V
Canon point: Several months after arrival at the manor
OU or AU?: CRAU
Age: Mid 20's
Species: Human

AU clarification: Andrew will be apped with his memories from Prismatica, both to make the transition smoother as well as keep his developments from his relationships thus far. His previous experiences have forcibly pushed him out of his comfort zone to make him begrudgingly more used to physical contact, especially that with strangers, as long as it's for the specific money-generating purposes. In addition, after months of sorting out differences and relying on each other from threats both from home and from prismatica’s setting, improved relationships with those from his canon and those who are not have made him if only a bit slightly less prickly to people who are being genuinely nice, actually making him re-think his actions. Being in a place similarly bright and populated beforehand with technology he's never quite had to deal with, he at least will know how to properly get himself around and acclimate faster to the technological and social aspect without the added hassle of re-learning how (almost) everything works. The sex-friendly part of the game won't be too bad either, now that his romantic prospects have taught him a thing or two.

« RECORD »

Disposition: Andrew comes off as a rather gloomy and perhaps a bit intimidating individual. He's not usually one for starting conversations, being cautious and perhaps a bit distrusting of others due to the amount of abuse he's experienced from strangers in the past. He dislikes people staring at him, as well as gossiping about him, and tends to come to the conclusion they have a low opinion of him as well, which results in him coming off as rude. When around those he doesn't know or trust, he prefers to keep to himself, finding quiet peace and solitude to be preferable. He spent years in a graveyard with little company, so it's not much different. As a man of faith, he doesn't really need much.

In addition to this, he can be a bit standoffish if he perceives the other to be belittling him, making fun of him or something along those lines. He's not used to being joked around with due to his bad people skills, and as such tends to take it a bit more seriously. He believes those who make fun of others, spread malicious rumors or assign labels easily to be awful people, and isn't above voicing his distaste or even suggesting violence if he must. After being ostracized and labelled a monster himself, he relates to others in similar circumstances, and is far more willing to say something should the need arise.

That being said, Andrew is not a bad person. He's not purposefully rude, and especially doesn't go out of his way to hurt other's feelings. If anything, he enjoys helping people. While he may not be the best people person, if you are kind to him, he will be kind to you in turn. He'll be more than willing to offer you a helping hand should you need one, and he doesn't judge others based on appearances alone. Even if it's difficult to tell, there are many who have stated that despite his quirks, he's a genuinely good person who makes them feel at ease. While he may relate more to others who are perceived as 'unusual', he can get along well with anyone who treats him well and who isn't an outright criminal or anything along those lines. Due to his hatred of rumors and quick judgement, he firmly believes that honesty and love are the key pillars of an interpersonal relationship. While a bit hesitant to trust, once you get him to open up and trust you, he'll listen to anything you have to say. He may not say it himself, but all throughout his childhood all he wished for was to experience love and other warm feelings the world had to offer which he was largely denied. This won't stop his awkwardness or moodiness, however. His skepticism is simply a hard-ingrained facet of his personality.

He's the type of person who hates being a burden or a nuisance to others in any way, and attempts to put everything he can into doing what's been requested of him. Even if it's something he hates, if he can do it in some capacity, he'll do his best to see it through. That won't stop him from getting a bit heated should you compliment him, though. Considering his history of verbal abuse and general hostility, he isn't used to praise at all, and doesn't exactly know how to handle it. While it may be toned down the more he knows and trusts you, he still gets incredibly embarrassed from being commended and encouraged. It's because of this, however, that he takes failure a bit hard. He'll feel awful for not being able to do his job properly, and assume people think lowly of him for it. Actively being able to trust people who extend a hand in friendship is still a work in progress.

Suitability: Andrew is, inevitably, somebody incredibly used to hardship. He's essentially been put through the wringer his whole life, mentally, emotionally, and physically. This had made him a naturally defensive and cautious person, questioning the intentions of almost anyone who tries to converse or get close to him. hell, he dislikes people even looking at him for too long, taking their stares to mean something unpleasant or hostile. This means he tends to drift away from people he may perceive as dangerous or judgmental of his person, although in the same vein he tends to occasionally drive off people who are actually attempting to care, due to his accusatory habits at times. These are things that can either make or break him in a setting like this, and I greatly enjoy seeing how it can do depending on the scenario in specific or the person.

In addition, his CRAU means he's somewhat more adjusted to the setting. He's dealt with this sort of thing before, somewhat grown accustomed to the differing technology and advancements, and has come to terms with the fact he simply can't avoid everybody due to their circumstances. While not still completely trusting, he's a bit more willing to engage in casual touch or other such things with those who need it should the situation call for it, making his stay a bit easier to deal with. After some self-reflection, despite the doubts he still holds, he sees this as a second chance in a place far preferable to his 'home' and damned if he isn't at least going to try and hold onto the bonds and better life he's gained so far.

Condition upon arrival: Andrew arrived in otherwise perfect health....or perfect health for him. He probably appeared as a bit undernourished, even after months in Lunatia, but this mainly comes from a lifetime of going hungry and barely scraping by. All in all, nothing too serious. Mentally, he's rather stressed from the random upheaval, but compared to the first time he'd experienced such a thing, he's a bit more prepared for it...or as prepared one can be for something like that. He somewhat knows how it goes and wasn't as utterly shaken by the entire experience like he was the first time.

Abilities: Andrew is, honestly, a perfectly normal human. He doesn't have a lot in terms of personal skills, but years spent as a gravekeeper for the church has given him a considerable talent in certain physical aspects, mainly digging and utilizing his upper body strength. In addition to that, he's pretty decent at holding his breath for long periods of time, managing to stay underground for a substantial amount of time without proper air.

He's also fully capable of dealing with more extreme conditions like hunger and cold due to the way he was forced to grow up, so he can somewhat handle them better than the rest since he has experience (although this might still end with gripes, knowing how he is). if there's one thing he's done all his life, it's scrape by and survive by the skin of his teeth.
