ANDY Contact info: kamalloy@home.com Character's Full Name Andrew K. Malloy "Place" in GRIT Freelance computer programmer; Jusenkyo researcher Residence: An apartment somewhere; will probably move into Nerima eventually because teleporting back and forth gets old quickly ^_~ Height: 5'11" Weight: 145 lbs Eyes: blue, wears rectangular-frame glasses Hair: blue-black, wavy, in a ponytail to about mid-back Birthday: October 12 (Libra); age 22 Blood Type: A Curse: Spring of Drowned Fox Other: Ability to teleport any distance; time it takes to arrive is relative to distance traveled. Can take anything he's touching, including another person, with him. Also can perform a partial teleport, or "phase," which allows him to remain in the same location while being, for all intents and purposes, insubstantial. Clothing: Depending on the weather, a button-down shirt or polo shirt, khakis, and fairly ordinary brown shoes. Personality: Andy has an amazing talent of being able to irritate most people shortly after meeting them. He has his own personal code of standards, which is all well and good, but he tries to hold everyone else to them as well, and tends to be very critical when they don't meet those standards. Combined with his desire to appear calm and collected no matter what the situation, he comes off as being quite arrogant, which he honestly doesn't realize. His intentions are usually good; he tries to be helpful, or at least he thinks he's being helpful, but often ends up making things worse. On occasion, however, he does demonstrate a good sense of humor and the potential that there actually might be a nice person underneath everything else. His curse isn't helping matters any; he's horribly ashamed of it and sees it as a great failure. He tries to hide it as best he can, even resorting to using his teleportation and phasing abilities to avoid water. He's desperately seeking a cure for the curse, as well as any other information on Jusenkyo he can dig up, while at the same time trying to avoid letting people know exactly *why* he needs it. (Of course, this being Nerima, his secret's going to be revealed sooner or later.) Identifying quotes: "Well, I was just in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by." "Hmph. Some people just can't appreciate a little advice..."
