## Appearance

## Tumblr Blog Description

*Fact: Andrew is Jimmy’s father.*

*Fact: Andrew is a professor of paleontology.*

*Fact: Andrew is the smartest person in the universe.*

*Okay, so the third one might not be a fact, but, to Jimmy, that’s an absolute truth.  Andrew is an infinite fountain of information, not all of which Jimmy understands, and every day at school Jimmy tries hard to learn so that one day he won’t feel so stupid around his father.  It’s a difficult task, though, and Jimmy often feels ashamed about it.*

*That’s not to say Andrew ever puts Jimmy down.  He’s just the kind of guy whose emotions are a bit subdued.  While Helga would be concerned with maintaining happiness in the household, Andrew only wants contentment.  For example, if Jimmy is upset because his homework is too difficult, Helga might try to lift his spirits with a trip to the movies.  Andrew, on the other hand, knows from firsthand experience that the struggle is an important part of the learning process, so he would let Jimmy work through his own problems.  He just might not be good at voicing that reason to Jimmy.*

*Andrew is erudite, which gives him a passive MP regen in combat.  This allows him to use his powerful science skills without fear of depleting his resources, and if push comes to shove, he can quickly burn through MP in order to make his skills much more powerful.*

## Description

In battle, Andrew functions as the party's primary source of magic damage. His base MAT is the highest of any party member, and shares with Helga highest Max MP, enabling him to deal very high magic damage and keep up the momentum without running low on MP very quickly. His personality, **Erudite**, grants him the passive ability to regenerate 5% of his Max MP each turn, further boosting his ability to continually lay on skills.

His skills are focused around two things: dealing magic damage, and further increasing his potential damage output. It is recommended to augment him with manuals that focus on magic damage to utilize the full potential of his stats. For instance, the manual for Thermal Bomb is available as soon as Andrew joins the party, and enables him to deal major damage to the entire field.

### Base Stats

When Andrew initially joins the party, his level is set to the average of Jimmy, Helga, and Lars' levels.

### Science

 **Erudite** | Most of your friends are books, and that's okay.
 **Cryodynamics** | Cause a freezing chemical reaction.
 **Toxicosis** | Cause an acidic chemical reaction.
 **Focus** | Concentrate your mental powers for five turns.
 **Analyze** | -

### Unique Equipment

#### Outfits

 **Blazer** | Can be worn when selling used cars or teaching at the college level.
 **Magnifying Glass** | More than just for frying ants.
 **Powers of Two** | Perfect for a mathemagician.
 **Molecular Beam** | I don't understand how this works, but it hurts.

## Trivia

* Andrew is about 40 years old.
* He possibly sells used cars as a side job, based on the description of the Blazer.
* Andrew tries to avoid reading fiction novels because he gets worked up thinking about how the science behind everything works. Despite this, it can be assumed he enjoys vampire novels based on his Popular Novel weapon, as well as one of the enemies found in the World's Library.
