ABOUT ANDREW
Andrew Soundheath was born to an American father, Paul Soundheath, and an English mother, Rachel Soundheath. Both of them doted on their son, and did their best to keep him happy.
His life's passion is computers and electronics; he had his first computer (that was not one that is predominantly a toy) at age 8, and slowly worked his way up. He never really socialised much in England, where he lived with his mother up until only a few months ago. He had made many friends via the lovely medium of text chats; he is rather shy about his voice - it is a higher pitch than would be expected, but deep enough to signify he has had puberty and such.
His computing skills are his main focus for himself; he has both positive skills (such as protecting data-files, and repairing computers from near-death) and negative skills (such as social engineering (via text, of course), compromising social network accounts, and general havoc.) His main achievement on the negative side was compromising his school's network server and gaining access to the SIMS (Simple Information Management System) database. He was expelled for this, due to the Data Protection Act.
Appearance wise, he is immensely geeky but tries to hide it. He favours hoodies and loose jeans, and has naturally blonde hair. He is constantly trying to stand out, while not drawing attention to himself - it doesn't work well. He is short-sighted, and has a pair of glasses he wears almost constantly, save when sleeping. He is 5" 8', and has shoe size 10.5. He has little to no muscle, and nearly no fat - this is not by choice, as his metabolism is incredibly overactive.
His future plans are simple; enter the world of Computer Programming, and build a career in the fabled Silicon Valley. His dream job would be as a freelance programmer, but that is a tough dream to reach.
He has a penchant for trying to be funny; and considers quick wit to be the highlight of any individual. He has a tendency to type long words; "in a manner such as this, referring to events that may or may not exactly pertain to the person at hand." If he gets flustered, this will be exacerbated. A simple sentence such as "I got a lot of presents" can turn into "I received many gifts, thank you, and they are mostly fun" if you make him nervous.
His actions at school are fairly simple; he is reserved around those that are higher than him in the 'pecking order' he has seen in English schools, and opens up around those lower than him. He is hardy when it comes to giving up on a task, but can't take much of a punch. He is a lazy student, and will do enough work to get the appropriate grades for the school he is in, but never any more.
He cannot draw at all; but has managed to perfect the art of stick figures. His singing is likewise not that great, but he has learned to make some electronic music using his computers.
He walks with a very slight limp; this is due to an electrocution accident when over clocking a computer, circa age 11.

"Hello. I'm Andrew; and I'm not your average computer fan. Well, granted, I may fit many of their traits - I would say I'm attractive, I'm as thin as all hell, I can't grow a beard properly and energy drinks are my life force; but still. I'm trying, I can honestly say. I talk to people, sometimes, and I don't spend my entire life in my room, irregardless of what my dad thinks.
My life? My life is as generic as a 'John Doe' stereotype. Except for the moving to four houses, and moving from England to here, obviously. Been a fan of computers since I was tiny, got my first age 8. A rubbish little thing, but it was a start. Put Windows on the thing, got programming, and then my life was over.
Not a lot else to say, honestly. I'm pretty well versed in the art of drinking, it's England for christ's sake, you pull up to a corner and there'll be at least four people underage drinking and smoking and the like. Fried my leg a little trying to make my piece of crap machines run faster; makes me walk like an idiot. Got expelled, for exposing the fact that the most popular guy at school had a couple of fun diseases no one really wants to catch. Same old.
Hopefully Arcadia Hills will be better. If not, well then hey, I'm sure they'll have computers to screw about on."
