INFO ⌛
| WHEN I TAKE MY ETERNAL SLEEP DO NOT SING ME AN ELEGY |
 PERSONALITY Being raised in an solitary environment and being scorned by others for his entire life, it should come as no surprise that Andrew comes off as a rather gloomy and perhaps a bit intimidating individual. He's not usually one for starting conversations, being cautious and 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 a bit rude and crass. With his habit of doubting other's intentions and being generally skeptical, it may be a bit difficult to put up with him at times. In addition to this, he can be standoffish and even become angry if he perceives the other to be belittling him, making fun of him or something along those lines...which is a conclusion he tends to come to a lot. 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. After being ostracized and labelled a monster himself, he relates to others in similar circumstances, and while he may stutter while doing so, he will step in for them should they be targeted in any way, likely with a few uncouth words. 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 being helpful. While he may not be the best people person, if you are kind to him, he will be kind to you in turn, although he may have skepticism about it. 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. Even if it's difficult to tell, there are many who have stated that despite his quirks, he's a genuinely good, diligent 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 extremely hesitant to trust, once you get him to open up, 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, however, leads to him being a bit selfish. He's been denied things other people can have for his entire life, so why shouldn't he want to hold onto what he manages to have? Especially when it comes to the prospect of people actually liking his company, even if he largely doubts it's true. 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 and doubts it's validity. 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 while he may attempt to cover it up, he'll obviously be upset....while engaging in a bit of self deprecating behavior.

APPEARANCE Andrew is 6'3" (191cm) and about roughly 160-170 lbs. He has extremely pale skin to the point it looks sickly due to the fact he's never in the sun, mainly due to his albinism. His eyes are a shade of pink bordering on red, and are very sensitive to bright light, while his hair is extremely pale blond, nearly white and brushes his shoulders while obscuring his left eye. His complexion is punctuated by the dark circles underneath his eyes, after years of paranoid sleepless nights. While he looks a bit skinny and fairly unremarkable, he possesses broad shoulders and has a wiry frame, years of physical labor leaving him with a bit of athletic ability. That being said, he tends to look somewhat gaunt and is bony in places due to a malnourished upbringing. His face is noticeably scarred, an X-shape covering his right cheek and one stretching across his nose bridge. His hands have light scars on them as well, and there are numerous scattered about his body, mainly in the chest and arm area. However, he's not one to usually expose his skin due to both his condition and his nervousness. Due to this, he tends to wear long and dark clothing. Even casually, he tends to wear simple button up shirts in white or dark colors, long pants and comfortable boots with black gloves being a mainstay. He doesn't go anywhere without the crudely handmade wooden cross hanging around his neck, and it's likely the only jewelry you'll see him wear. Andrew's voice belies his appearance, with a higher pitch that doesn't seem to suit such a tall man. He sounds young, boyish-- almost cute. He speaks quietly with a stutter, but he sounds a bit...rough, perhaps somewhat raspy. Speaking to people isn't his strong point. His voice can drop a bit when angered, but otherwise it's on the higher side. Andrew smells of freshly dug earth or sweat due to the physical labor of his job. At times, he can carry the slightest scent of flowers, as he likes taking care of them in his spare time. INTIMACY
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual, although he's just coming to terms with it. He's equally attracted to both men and women in that regard, as well as equally nervous with either.
SENSITIVE AREAS: Back of his neck, his hips.
PREFERRED PLACES: In the bedroom or in the house, preferably. He's waaaaaay too christian to even consider anywhere outside. SEX DRIVE/MASTURBATION HABITS: His sex drive is extremely low, and only tends to flare up during Iris since he's never really dealt with having one before. Due to this, he also doesn't really tend to touch himself, being too nervous by Christian standards to do so especially since he doesn't feel the urge very often. AFTERCARE: He hasn't really gotten a chance to improve his stamina during sex, so he can't go very long and tends to pass out after, and ends up feeling bad. After he gets better at lasting longer and longer, though, he gets diligent at trying to clean up somewhat afterwards. Definitely fine with spooning or the such if his partner is OK with it. |
BASICS  NAME: Andrew Kress CANON: Identity V CANON POINT: A month after arrival at the manor AGE: 24 (?) BIRTHDAY: TBA OCCUPATION: Gravekeeper MOONBLESSING: Iris INVENTORY
WEAPONS: Shovel EXTRA
ALIASES & NICKNAMES: The Gravekeeper
NOTES: Due to his albinism, Andrew doesn't go outside during the daytime, and tends to only leave after sundown. If he were to leave in the day for very certain circumstances, he would be heavily bundled up with a hood to protect himself. His eyesight is very poor, so it's also difficult for him to see across long distances. His photo-sensitivity means he doesn't like to be in places with very bright lights for long unless he has proper eye covers. |
