Andrus (Delva) Cordue

"I'm proud of you." - andrus, to elaine

## Backstory

### Family

Elias Taran, the emperor of the Dandrid Empire, and queen Aesther, had a child. The child's name was Andrus Virtue Taran, and he was given to the god of chaos as a way for the king to hold a pact with him.

Andrus grew up very enclosed and never went out to see the kingdom unless it was for training, including never attending school. All his knowledge came from his mom, Charlotte, or Q'yra- childhood friends of his.

### Henry and Teddy

At age 10, Andrus was forced to train to be a spy and assassin for xyr father after he started a war with most of the known world. They would travel across the ocean on occasion and stay with his mothers friend named Henry, the mayor of a little town named Somerlow.

Teddy, Henry's son, is the person that got Andrus into robotics. Andrus and him would make robots together, the one they started on together was named Eden. Eden was made as a protector for Andrus and Teddy, but when Teddy died, Andrus continued without him.

### Emmeline

Andrus and Emmeline have been friends since they were little. When they met, Andrus was 9 and Emmeline was 11. They met through paladin training, always sparring against each other as Andrus' mother most likely watched as Elias was out doing king shit. They were very close, the only thing that came close to being closer was Emmelines dog named Ashe. The first ever animal aside from small ones like rats or insects that Andrus had ever seen. After Andrus healed, they seen each other while Andrus and xyr crew were stopping to get some supplies for a long trip, they saw Emmeline at a tavern. Andrus showed Emmeline around the ship, Andrus might've been in a flirty (aka gay) mood who knows. The day ended with a dance to funky robot music!! They got together soon after that.

### The War

At 14, Andrus actually joined the war and fought beside Emmeline after the execution of her mother after the king found out she was working across the ocean. Andrus ran out the country soon after to be with Emmeline and at 15, joined the war fully.

Andrus at 15, in battle, watched teddy die and afterwards got exploded by a bomb. losing his arm, getting fire scars on his face and almost dying. They were taken by clerics, put on a ship so they could heal him, and were in a coma for a year.

In that year, he hung out with ceraphyl, tide, and eldath. and sometimes Chaos. Chaos gave them tickey as they were healing on their birthday.

After Andrus woke up, he started up a pirate crew and the next 5 years has been doing that.

## Character Description

### Feats and Talents

* Robotic arms.
	+ Andrus makes robotic arms for a living, mostly for people with missing limbs as a prosthetic. usually for a low price or for free so everyone can afford it. He made his own arm infused with water magic. Xey have made their adoptive father Henry a robotic leg to replace his peg leg!
* Ariel Dancing.
	+ Andrus is a very skilled acrobat and has danced at multiple royal dances, even at weddings. He uses silk sheets, chains, all in the air. He couldn't do it for a long time after xyr accident but learned how to again!

## Relationships

### Clarian

Clarian Yggdrasil was a partner Andrus had, He got into a arranged marriage, the Only marriage xey actually committed to!! They didnt spend a lot of time together but they were friends before Andrus got badly injured.

### Ronan

Andrus,,, tries to avoid Ronan, in all honesty. They feel uncomfortable talking to him, mostly because he reminds xem of Ronan's mother, and the feeling he felt when he failed his mother. Andrus loves him like family, though. He will always be family to him.

### Elaine

Andrus is so proud of Elaine. Andrus has watched her grow and fight, watched her go through the worst and the best. Andrus thinks of elaine as a younger sibling, and is glad to have met her. He trusts her with his past memories and journals and hopes that she'll handle them well, and cant wait to hear about all her adventures while they are apart, and has pinkie promised to see her again. And plans to hold to that promise.

### Lorelei

Andrus is very happy for Lorelei, and is grateful she's been apart of his crew. But is sad to see her go, and will try and stay in touch. They are grateful to have witnessed her grow these past few years. And is also incredibly proud of her.

### Mayor Tanzi

Henry is a father to him in all the ways that matter, and wouldnt be the person he is without him and is grateful for him basically being the gateway of him meeting the Somerlow party. He hopes his leg is still working well.

### Elias Taran

He has... very mixed feelings about his father. He hates being compared to him, hates how he treated xem when he was king, but what if he could have changed? If Andrus wasnt born, the war might've not happened. He kind of wants to believe that Elias would've been better if he wasn't there. Maybe its wrong of him to think so with everything he's done, or maybe its him wanting to see the good in everyone. Who knows, at this point. He's rotting in the dungeons.

### Emmeline Cordue

Emmeline is the nicest person Andrus has ever met. Behind the cold and icy exterior, Andrus has seen her soft side and even though he loves every single part of her, they love seeing her soft side. With ashe and boop, with Bailey, or even with Andrus himself. He will appreciate and love her for the rest of his life, despite the sudden flaws. They are soulmates in every way methinks.

### Teddy Tanzi

Teddy is someone that Andrus sees in all his friends, especially Elaine. They miss Teddy everyday, knowing they'd get made fun of by him for doing so. Andrus never thought he'd experience the loss of a brother, as he has never had one. But with Teddy it feels like he has lost a brother, and that really hurts for him. Andrus cant wait for the day he can see him again, even if that means dying. Andrus wants to see his brother again.

### Aesther Taran

Andrus loves his mother so much, but sees how she looks at him. He knows he's a spitting image of his father, the person that murdered Aesther, and doesn't want to burden her with the fact hes back. Andrus will visit, and until he's dead or she is, will love and respect her. He looks up to her as a role model, but knows that he can not live up to her standards. He thinkss with his pirate life that hes not a very good son or future king. And hes probably right.

### Chaos

Chaos and Andrus's relationship is getting better, Andrus is noticing Chaos change for the better when he's around and is willing to help him if that's the case. Him and Jazmyn are becoming a new edition to his family tree.

### Ceraphyl

He has very mixed feelings about Ceraphyl right now. But she saved his life. And he will give he whatever she wants to repay her for the service she did for him.

### Q'yra

Q'yra and Andrus are best friends, and Andrus misses training with her and making her hate Andrus's whole existence by annoying her.

### Bailey

Literally a robot daughter. Andrus has never wanted kids, however Bailey makes him consider it.
