It's kinda complicated

Andreas is average at height for an adult standing at 5'11, he's estimated to reach 6'1 like his dad before he stops growing. Brown hair and blue eyes with an athletic build, no real identifying marks or features other than the tattoo of Huginn and Muninn on his right forearm, a wrap that represents the two sides of Odin through Raven's; Thought and Desire.

Adaptable - Independent - Loyal - Unstable

Tends to repress feelings which often not felt as strongly as other individuals, a defense mechanism brandished by the 'toughen up' attitude accompanying emotional hardship. Professionals in the past have referred to Andreas as 'troubled'. Psychological evaluations put him on the spectrum of personality disorders - concluding at the diagnosis of him being a 'secret schizoid.'
His personality is hidden behind an outward engaging appearance, following Klein's classification of 'secret schizoids', who present themselves as socially available, interested, engaged and involved in interacting yet remain emotionally withdrawn and sequestered within the safety of the internal world. Andreas is considered a reserved introvert.

• Daydreamer – especially when he’s meant to be paying attention, Andreas is almost constantly in a walking trance, at least at school.

• Wonders off – Andreas tends to wonder off morer specifically at inappropriate times often leaving his acquaintances dumb-founded.

• Doesn’t do small talk – Conforming to societal expectations can be exhausting…

Computers - Andreas is good with them too, he knows his way around a script or two and uses this to his benefit, not afraid to exploit a backdoor.

Bridge - A game becoming less popular among younger people, especially in the modern day and age. Andreas enjoys the hidden element of information in the rule structure. It forces him to think critically and rationally instead of analytically.

Sports - Andreas has an athletic build, he didn't get it from sitting indoors all day hacking, he runs and plays soccer to keep fit. For a while he had interest in parkour but didn't want to sacrifice too much computer time.

There's plenty more things Andreas dislikes than he does like. He's into his computers, sci-fi and bit of sport. He likes those he gets along with. Anything else it's safe to assume he dislikes although he's not one to be vocal with his opinion. Often seen as quiet.

Kaatje Danilov - Mother - Cleaner at hospital.
Cristof Danilov - Father - Unemployed.

House is nothing above average, standard 3-bed, 1 bath and en-suite. The master room, his parents room has the en-suite. House is typical townhouse, entrance, hallway, living room, kitchen, utility room and then upstairs, the three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Andreas currently does not drive, although is saving up for a first car.

It all started with a small immigrant family. My name is Andreas Danilov, my mum and dad, Mr. and Mrs. Danilov. We left Latvia in search of a new life when I was six years old, we couldn't afford to live in a city so we wound up in small town, Texas. Like most starry eyed and hopeful immigrants my parents found themselves a house they couldn't afford, which in turn lead to things getting worse. Parents started arguing a lot but more but it didn't take long for a Russian friend of the family to get my mum a job as a cleaner at a local hospital. The hours were hell and the pay was shit, but - it paid the bills, barely.
My dad wasn't ever good, it wasn't that he didn't try to get work; people just didn't trust him. He lived on welfare. Anything my mum ever earned went towards paying off the mortgage, my dad's money tended to go on a drink.
I never really had friends to socialize with growing up, always a bit of an outsider at school and when it came to making friends. Probably a byproduct of being an eastern European immigrant in small town America. I had the family computer and if I'm honest - we got along pretty well. I'm talking internet, forums, video games, chat rooms with random strangers, all sorts of sites, easy access information and infinite possibilities. All of this got my mind set on wanting to go to college, I wanted to follow in the footsteps of great pioneers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, maybe one day change the world.
Unfortunately, I wound up learning pretty early on that this would cost an awful lot of money. That I'd need to save up if I wanted to make my dream possibly, myself. My very first dollars, two-hundred and thirty one dollars to be exact, I earned these as a clicker. My job was to build up traffic to sites, changing my ip address and visiting the same site over and over, sure boring! But easy money. It wasn't a lot but all big things had small beginnings. When I turned 16, I wanted to learn more about how the world worked, especially the world of money. Online was full of ideas, it seemed anybody with a pair of lips had an idea about the banking system, financial crisis or the vulnerability of the system and a need for change - most of it scams.
My parents arguing had gotten worse by this time, it had been escalating for years but seemed to be at a constant climax the last while. He'd fallen so deep into the bottle that paranoia had settled in about my mum seeing someone else, feeling disgruntled by his own short comings he began to project them onto her, ruining a good woman. She'd maintain the position that HE ruined us by bringing us here, he on the other hand would retort that we came to America because we had no CHOICE. It was hard to pick a side so I did my best not too, often leaving the house when I was about to be brought into an argument, spending a few hours out and about before coming back, quietly and going to bed or just continuing to 'work' making my 20$ on the 1000 clicks. It was at 16 that I first discovered about the darker side of the web, going deeper a news report on a group claiming to be 'hacktivists' having attacked numerous governmental sites for a laugh.

Die Trying - MICHL

Andreas dabbles with the black market, mainly just selling goods acquired through identity fraud and other means. Where else would he find the money for college?
