## Biography

### Drury Kinkaid: 1988 - 2002

Dru was born outside of Gotham City in the suburb of Burnside, but the one located in a dimension where most person carry a different biological gender than what they possess elsewhere. His father was a psychiatrist and his mother was a scientist that used to work as a professor but had since been working with the United States government. The rest of Dru's family consisted of his twin sister and his younger sister.

Dru spent his childhood blissfully unaware of the existence of other realities. He had a love of water for most of his life and spent the summers of his youth swimming in his family's pool. Dru did have one very unusual experience as a teenager, where he spent a few hours as a female and had a brother named Drury — but he just assumed that was a delirious daydream brought on by exhaustion. He had no idea that Rose Walker had been exploring her own powers and had accidentally switched their consciousnesses across the cosmos.

### Drury Kinkaid: 2002 - 2006

Drury's odd genderbending episode helped him come to terms with his bisexuality. At a swim meet, he made out with a male student journalist named Andy. His girlfriend at the time witnessed this and broke up with Dru. This made the rest of the academic experience difficult as he lost most of the friends he had spent his childhood making.

Dru's home life also became more difficult. Though his parents and siblings were always supportive of his sexuality, his father had a mental breakdown and was incarcerated following a violent episode. Both of Dru's sisters had behavioral problems, and they were sent to boarding schools to get the help they needed, leaving Dru and his mother at home.

Mrs. Kinkaid spent most of her time hidden in her basement lab, working on her secret project. So, Dru was mostly on his own and he took up the hobby of following the new revival of the Watchmen.

When the Justice League of America was founded, Dru only increased his obsession with this craze. He tried to learn everything he could about Metropolis' Woman of Steel, Prince Dane of Elysium, the Dark Dame of Gotham, the Emerald Archeress, the King of Scream, the World's Fastest Woman, and the Martian Maneater. Then one day, after he was enjoying his free time post-graduation, he was just drifting off for a nap when he was suddenly hurled through the cosmos and dumped in a dark lab.

### Drury Kinkaid: 2006 - Present

Before he could compose himself, Jervis Tetch and Lazlo Valentin shoved Dru into a cage with a bunch of females, some were of inhuman origin, but all had a rather similar look to them. It was only after a while of trying to unsuccessfully flirt with them that Dru realized who they were.

When Rose Walker sent many of her duplicates back to their places of origin, Dru was freed. He spent several months in custody of Spyral but was able to escape with the help of Vindemia Faye. For the next several years, Dru lived life off-the-grid as a waiter and bartender.

After discovering a copy of "Earth-27 for Nitwits", in a comic book shop, Dru began to market himself as a herophile and became successful. With his success, Vindemia relocated him and offered him a new place to live.

### Key Affiliations

## Threat Assessment

### Assets

* **Human Physiology:** Unlike Rose Walker (His cosmic template) and the majority of other subsidiary variations of Rose, Dru is a human without any inherent incredible powers or abilities stemming from his own nature.
* **Cosmic Awareness:** After his displacement, Dru had a severe mental breakdown and upon his recovery, he found his mind altered, making him aware of the Tapestry.
* **Bartending:** Dru used to work as a waiter, but eventually transitioned to becoming a bartender at various clubs, restaurants, and taverns. He keeps these skills sharp. He spends a lot of time around bartenders as he still enjoys his regular cocktails and uses such environments to seek out sexual partners.
* **Herology:** Dru has made a living for himself as an expert on the superhero trends of the Earth in the core reality of the cosmic construct. He modified much of his pre-existing knowledge from his own subsidiary reality and used that as a foundation. He is commonly featured as a pundit on televised news programs and a frequent guest on podcasts. He also has his own highly successful MeVids channel: "Hugh Watches the Watchmen."
* **Seduction:** Dru does quite well for himself in the romance and intimacy department.
* **Swimming:** Dru is an exceptional swimmer, having won a statewide competition in high school. He had a college scholarship lined up, with plans to go national or a possible Olympic career, but his strange life threw him a curveball he had no way to predict.
* **Relic: Earth-27 for Nitwits:** Dru believes he came upon this relic by "chance", finding it in a comic book shop. Of course, this relic was put in his path.

### Flaws

* **Human:** Dru is a fairly normal guy, who just happens to know a lot of weird stuff. He is vulnerable to injury, mental manipulation, and more.
* **Lust:** Dru tends to obsess over sex and seeks sexual gratification often. Any sort of "dry spell" can leave him distracted, and he can be easily distracted by the presence of an attractive or promiscuous person near him.
* **Mental Illness** Dru comes from a family with a history of mental illness; however, he was mostly unaffected until his displacement through the cosmos, causing him to literally become untethered from reality. Though he has since recovered from his initial breakdown, Dru does have his moments of insanity when under stress. He also runs the risk of sounding crazy to those around him when he tells them about the phantom voices, the Tapestry, the cosmic construct, the Fanatics of the Beyond, and the specifics of his native subsidiary reality.
* **On the Run:** Dru had to escape from the custody of Spyral, and they may still be looking to capture him again if they learn he has yet to flee to his dimension of origin. He has all but buried his past identity, but he still tends to relocate often. Due to his success as "Hugh Kinnaird" he has not changed his identity in years. This may be a decision he will later regret.
