That's, quite obviously, Andrew's dad. You might notice how young he is, considering his son is nineteen- Andrew was born when he was fifteen. Which means they're a lot closer than normal father/sons. They obviously don't always get along, but they're probably closer than most. If you want the entire thing, read andrew's application, (You probably should if you want to play him, but it's up to you)

Basically, His parents knew each other from, like, the beginning of time, and mommy accidently got preggo when she was like... fourteen. Oops, right? Yeah. Well, eventually, Mum lost interest in her kiddo, leaving Andrew's dad alone with the poor kid... Right about when Andrew started getting really sick. When he was... two or three, I believe, he ended up needing a heart transplant. He obviously lived to tell the tale, and he's pretty much okay now though he's always afraid to do sports and stuff because he doesn't want to overwork it.

hm... Anyways. His dad's obviously a writer, because he teaches writing... Well, you can work the details on that. the problem with Andrew is that he never really got into any of the arsty stuff soon enough- he started playing guitar around grade seven, so by the time try outs came at the end of grade eight to get into Harbin, he definitely wasn't good enough, and wasn't good at anything else. So he just sort of... Stopped trying. He played guitar a bit here and there, but after Harbin didn't accept him, he just sort of gave up on trying again. He ended up dropping out of public school and just working at a restaurant, sort of slacking his life away... Which probably pisses his dad off.

As for the playby... I don't really care who it is, as long as he doesn't look too young. He's young enough, really, you don't have to make him look like he's the same age as Andrew. I'd like maybe someone with dark hair so they at least look related... But then again, up to you.

so yeah.
