Accent
Andrew is a bit of an accent sponge. He mostly keeps it to what would be considered general american at the most part, but if settling in a place for a bit he will adapt and mimic the speech of locals without thinking about it, and will quickly fall into speech patterns of other languages he knows if he's been using it recently.
Appearance
Feutures
Though Andrew would have definitely been considered tall at the time of his turning he is now around average for an american man. Similarly his build isn't that remarkable either, as he's on the lean side of average. What is more remarkable, however, is his face, his fuller cheeks but long face gives him a sense of almost childish handsomeness. His hair contributes to that playfulness as well, his dark slightly wavy hair, styled into curtains, always looks a little messy and just on the brink of needing a hair cut, and it contrasts his very pale skin and piercing grey eyes.
Style
Dark, stylish and expensive are the best words to describe Andrew's sense of fashion. Meaning, it's not like he's making an effort to not like like a present day vampire. Looking like he walked straight out of an old university library he likes to sport nice button downs with long over coats, turtlenecks tucked into fitted dark jeans or dress pants, paired with a pair of pricey dress shoes. And he's never opposed to adding just a bit of flair to make it all look a bit eccentric, cuffing his pants to show of his socks, and even favouring some tweed over a modern black suit jacket when the event calls for it.
Tattoos/piercings
none
Scars/markings
Andrew has a very distinct, and nasty looking scar on his right shoulder, clearly caused by teeth. Other than that his body is completely void of them.
Personality
The way many would chose to describe Andrew is annoyingly likable. With the charms and social skills to take him far he knows how to make people like him, but also what buttons needs to be pressed to get what he likes. He's not above manipulation and pushing people down to get where he wants to be,though he always makes sure to have enough people by his side to not lose gained power. He likes to be in control, mainly over people, though he always tries hard not to let it on. All of this means he is likely to aim for the trust of people who have power over him, weather it be officials, or teachers, he makes sure to be on heir good side, and when the charm isn't enough he'll gladly flex his money and status. All of this would easily make him come a across as a privileged rich kid and goody-two shoes (which he wouldn't deny), however at the same time, he is never one to turn down some fun. His cockiness and impassivity is two traits that makes it apparent that his brain stopped developing at age 18. He'll easily let lose around friends, and is probably considered the most reckless in his family.
