*Physical/mental Problems: Meta Human. Andy has seen more than his share of Human misery. Mental scares are already present.<P>Andy is suffering childhood interruptius. He never had a normal childhood. His knowledge and maturity level are far beyond his years. He has seen all the dregs of Humanity from a hands on perspective. He was shot in the face before the age of 12. (That gang banger was beat to an extra fine pulp. Andy didn't kill him, but he will never walk again, or hold a gun.)

*Weaknesses/Disadvantages: Said density. Normal furniture just does not have what it takes. He can destroy a chair fidgeting. Andy is a normal young adult in many ways.
*History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: Andy was just another under privileged kid in Compton whose Mother was a crack whore and "father" her pimp of the month.</P><P>The last one fancied himself a chemist and decided to build the perfect designer drug. He was not a chemist, he managed to blow the building sky high killing everyone in it but Andy. The firemen pulled him out of the rubble.</p>The exotic mix of chemicals combined with the fluctuating magic field did things to Andy. He became super dense. Nurses hurt themselves trying to move him. Andy found he could fly as well. Life in the foster home was several flavors of Hell. The social worker talked Kumbya and did nothing useful. He took the teddy bear the firemen had given him and fled. Not knowing what else to do he went back to Compton. He took up living in an empty office building. The electricity was still on to help maintain it.Andy could have become a real problem, but he decided he wanted to be a hero. He put together a costume and over the next couple of years started stopping crimes. He would also move heavy stuff and be generally helpful. The Local merchants installed school bells he could hear to call him. They fed him and gave him money. The guy that owned the building he lived in quietly looked the other way. He even saw Andy had cable and internet access. Crime dropped and of course no one knew nutten. LA cops do not have a good reputation. Then came the Return of the Hole in the Ground Gang. The metas recently arrived were seen on the news. Andy took himself to the Warp Drive Project and looked them up. Hey, people like him. Suzy Watterson took an immediate liking to the brash young man and took him in. When the Department of Super Heroes was formed Andy was a proud charter member.<P> Andy is currently a young adult dealing with normal urges and an not at all normal body. Andy finds a quiet ally in Anthony that will let him have time with a Primal Sybade to cool the urge. Enough to teach him manners with women. With a decided lack of young Meta women, he might end up with one as a permanent partner.
