Since he works out but not enough to earn a muscular or athletic build. He tends to wear casual clothes when he can help it. However, it does not stop him from wearing more formal or weather-specific clothing when needed. He does take care of himself, maintaining his hair length and the growth of is beard. Never letting himself go unless something is really negative in his life.            

[b]Character Concept:[/b] A native, Andrés is one who thought he would never return to the Isles. His family, the Moruga, was one of the oldest and prominent families in the Isles. Andrés was the second child of his family, and his father had planned out of life for him. But Andrés was one who would not conform to his father's wishes like his older brother did. He rebelled and after an argument with his father. Andrés was cut off, and Andrés chose to leave the Isles and live on the mainland. Where he would earn a living as a comic book artist. It was not a glamorous job, but he enjoyed drawing art and was a fan of comic books growing up. It seemed like a good choice to him, more so when his comic books became somewhat popular, and he was able to earn a living off of it.    

Only he would return to the Isles on the insistence of his mother for Andrés's father was on his deathbed. Only to discover that his family's wealth was nearly gone. A good amount was wasted on a business venture and once his father died.  Andrés's older brother would take what was left of the family's fortune and leave the Isles for his own reasons. Leaving what was left of the family without their wealth.      
 
Now Andrés has a choice, he could continue his own path or help what is left of his family on the Isles and steer them towards a better future. While Andrés knows this will be a tough choice, he still cares for his mother, and it does make him feel bad about her state. He does not know what the Isles can offer him, even though he has had success on the mainland. Not to mention that his relationship with his father has tainted his memories of the Isles, and he does not know if he wants to stay. 

Either through compassion or just wanting to get away, Andrés has to make a choice, and it will affect his family no matter what. The question is whether he will make the right choice for himself and not regret it.     

[b]Character History:[/b] Andrés was born the second child of the Moruga family, one of the oldest and most prominent families in the Isles, with the wealth to back it up. Now, growing up, Andrés did not want much. Since most of it was provided by his family, while there were some things he liked, like drawing, and was encouraged by his grandmother. His father had started to"guide" him towards a path that he wanted. A change that Andrés did not like and would grow to hate as his father became more and more strict about it. Starting arguments over it. 

By the time he was eighteen, his father had planned out most of his future, and finally, Andrés had enough. Now, he was tired of what his father wanted and wanted the freedom to follow his own future. Andrés had one final argument with his father and by the end of it, his father would cut him off from the family. A decision that Andrés did not care about and with what money he had. He chose to leave the Isles and move to the mainland. Specifically to Chetumal, where he lived with a friend while trying to find a job.

As Andrés started to adjust to living on the mainland and in a city. He started doing old hobbies, now he was free of his father. On the advice of his friend and the fact, he was having trouble finding a job. Andrés started drawing and writing comic books, and after some failed attempts to attract an audience. He managed to gain a following over his latest comic and it started to become popular. Finally, becoming less of a burden to his friend, and he was able to support himself. 

Now, by the time he had reached twenty-five, was when he got a call from his mother. Apparently, his father was dying and on his deathbed. She insisted that he return and at least attend his father's funeral. Andrés thought long and hard about this, and in the end. He chose to listen to his mother and return home to the Isles. Though what he found he did not expect. 

For a while, he never talked to his father, and his father would die shortly after Andrés arrived on the Isles. Through his mother, he learned about the family's fortune, that a good amount of it was wasted on a failed business venture. After the funeral and after the will reading which Andrés expectly got nothing. His older brother got what was left of the family's fortune and said that living on the Isles was a waste and he would take what was left of the family's wealth elsewhere. Promptly moving from the Isles to somewhere on the mainland. 

What was left of Andrés's family was devastated by the turns of events, and now the once prominent family in the Isles was a shadow of its former self. Unable to support their current lifestyle, and most of their holdings had to be sold off. Andrés had to help his family through that ordeal. Now, the Morugas only own a normal house and a cafe that is owned by his mother. 

Now, his mother wants him to help rebuild what their family had lost and not lose anything else. Andrés realizes that he has a choice to make. While he does love his mother and he has not issues with his younger sister. He had a life and was happy on the mainland, and helping the family with rebuilding means giving up that up. But staying means he could direct what was left of the family towards something better and fix what his father and older brother caused. 

Currently, Andrés is still on the Isles and has yet to make a choice. Helping out his family while readjusting to island life and relearning what the Isles have to offer. He does not know how long he will be on the Isles, but Andrés knows that whatever he does, he has to do what is best for him. Now, he just needs to figure that out.
