Andrews

## BIO:

**Name:** Andrews, nicknamed 'Andy' (reference to The Andrews Sisters)

**Age:** 4 years

**Race: (Human, Pillar Man, Mikitaka's Race, etc)** Dog (mutt - likely part Basenji)

**Gender:** Male

**Shippability: (Optional)** Only for female dogs.

**Sexuality: (Optional)** See above.

**Ability: (Stand, Ripple, Spin, etc)** Stand

**Personality Traits:** (AU Iggy, pretty much) At first glance, seems like a typical dumb, rowdy stray dog that only cares for his own well-being. Under that macho attitude and big ego however, is a caring, intelligent soul. He has a hatred and general distrust for any man who appears wealthy (due to his history). He's secretly emotionally hurt from his past (a man who never returned - see background story), but out of pride he buries it deep within himself. He has an ear for music (especially jazz), and he can't help yodeling along to any song he deems catchy. He seems to have some understanding of English writing - especially in street signs and storefronts, but this may be passed off as him just recognizing colours/shapes; not actual words (aka, recognizing a certain pattern of letters as a restaurant, or a red octagon as a symbol to stop).

**Height:** About 17" at the shoulder.

**Weight:** About 21lb.

**Hair/Eye Color:** A red/white patterned coat, and tan eyes.

**Bio:** Born in a litter of five pups on a Kansas farm. His mother was a Basenji, his father some unknown dog - possibly from a neighbouring farm. He never met his father. He was sold at the age of 8 months when the farm was in need of money, to a jazz musician. He was the man's companion as they travelled to New Orleans in search of fame. They would sing songs together... the man would play his sax, and Andy would yodel (a trait from his mother's side) along to the tune. The man told him stories of a place of music and good tasting foods (New Orleans). Alas, they never made it; the musician, low on money, had to resort to enlisting. The man had no other friends to take care of Andy while he was overseas, and he couldn't bear to sell his only friend away. He left Andy at a train station, promising to someday return there. Andy waited there, living off of scraps by the station. Soon, Andy stopped waiting... it wasn't that he forgot, no.... he just couldn't bear wasting his life away for a man who is never going to return to him. He decides to continue the journey himself. He has no idea where he's supposed to be going (how is a dog to read maps?), but he knows he needs to be travelling in search of 'music from the heart'.

**Appearance: (Picture or Description)** (\*might do art later) Takes after his mother's appearance (a Basenji) for the most part, but has a slightly shorter muzzle and ears that almost flop over.

***STAND TEMPLATE***

**User:** Andy

**Name:** Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (or 'Bugle Boy' for short) - Localized: Company B (from song lyrics)

**Namesake:** (Optional) Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy; by The Andres Sisters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8of3uhG1tCI

**Type:** Natural Non-Humanoid; Close Range

**Ability(s):** "Puppy Dog Eyes" (reference to the idiom)

**Ability Description(s):** If someone makes direct eye contact with the user, they will be immediately paralyzed where they are (like a statue, but all necessary biological functions still work - e.g. heartbeat, brain activity, breathing. \*\*\*note: blinking ceases). When the eye contact is initiated, this is when the stand manifests above the user (a bugle - see appearance) to signify that the ability is in effect. This ability lasts as long as the user is within visible range of the target - meaning as long as the target can see the user, the ability still works. So, once it activates and the target is paralyzed, the user can break eye contact and move around; BUT as soon as the user completely exits the target's range of vision, the ability ceases to work and the target is free. This ability can only affect one target at a time, and the stand itself has no fighting power (how can a bugle punch? lol).

**Appearance: (Picture or Description)** (\*might add art later) Takes the appearance of a metallic blue coloured bugle, with paw print engravings running up and down the sides.
