Atombomb is the main character of enderbomb and one of the titular characters. He also plays as the audience’s POV.

He is bound to Ender through the Truce.

## Personality

Andrés is blunt, anti social, and a generally unagreeable person. Most of his anti social tendencies comes from his fear of hurting people which spawned from the accident that took his arm and leg as a kid. He also finds it hard to interact with people as his father was extremely abusive and the only person who treated him well went missing. Andrés deeply believes he owes it to Tamara to find her and thinks he should’ve died in her place. He has years of pent up anger but does not believe he deserves to express it, hence his strained relationship with The Conductor.

## Appearance

### Present day

Andrés is a short tan man with down slanted yellow eyes. He has shoulder length dark brown hair that is tied half up into a small bun. He has large eye bags and a hooked nose. Most prominently Andrés is covered head to toe on his left in burn scars, he is missing his left arm above the elbow and the left leg below the knee. The scar tissue also holds his left eye closed which is a less saturated yellow and clouded over. He wears a long yellow shirt with a nuke symbol in the middle, baggy brown cargo pants, and oversized green hoodie and green and yellow sneakers.

As Atombomb, Andrés wears a long brown coat that’s cinched with a gray and green belt. Two belts cross over his chest and connect to a diamond shape at his chest, these belts hold his battery to his back. He wears gray pants and green and yellow knee high boots. On his face Atom’s hair covers his eyes and he wears a green and yellow gas mask that connects to two mechanical horns that go above his head. In enderbomb act 1 part 13 it’s shown the horns work as a communicator between Atom and the Warden. Atombomb also wears two yellow stud earrings.

## Powers

Andrés has the power of absorption and redistribution. He can absorb almost energy around him and turn it into strong green energy blasts that resemble fire. However his usage of his powers is stunted by the battery he uses for safety after the accident.

## Relationships

### Ender

Ender and Atom have a very rocky relationship. The two of them hate eachother more than anything but can’t do anything about it because of the truce. Atom finds Ender annoying and wishes she would leave, but did go looking for her when she didn’t show up for a night. After the body swap arc Atom is slightly more endeared by Ender.

### Jin

Andrés gets easily flustered around Jin. Not only is he not used to talking to new people but he also finds Jin incredibly pretty. The two of them have considerably flirtier conversations than Ender and Atom. Andrés often goes out of his way to see Jin more often.

### The Conductor

Andrés and The Conductor are adoptive brothers with a very shaky relationship. When asked about the Conductor by Jin Andrés says the Conductor is overrated. He does express gratitude to the Conductor for saving him after the accident though. Their current relationship is soured however by the abusive attitude The Conductor shows towards Atom.

### Tamara

Tamara was Andrés sister and best friend. He adored her more than anything. Andrés’s quest to solve the missing persons case is motivated by Tamara going missing. He is shown to be frequently thinking of her and is shocked by all mention of her.

### Alan

Alan is Andrés’s mentor and man in the chair. While Alan views Andrés as a son, the feeling is not mutual, though Andrés does care for Alan.

### Rowan

Rowan is Andrés’s roommate. They are enthusiastically kind to him but Andrés gives them little attention, going so far as to not notice when they left on their trip to Wintercearig.
