Andrea Elex

Andrea in SS1

### Occupation

Mercenary, Chauffeur, Bodyguard, Personal Assistant Secretary, Pancake Connoisseur

## Background Information

Andrea is a one-woman security force, having the ability to multiply herself with up to hundreds of copies. Before the events of Super Sales on Super Heroes, Andrea was captured and made a slave when Skipper took over the city.

## Plot

Andrea loves pancakes, and can often be found enthusiastically making them for Felix and... nearly anyone and everyone else. While she may or may not count pancake preparation as its own superpower, Andrea's true ability is to split herself into many nearly-identical copies. It isn't an exact process; each copy forms a similar, yet ever-so-slightly distinct personality. The "head" copy is designated the Prime, who picks a "second," who falls next in line in their internal chain of command. The other copies number off in order to be able to distinguish each other when needed.
Each Andrea copy has her own experiences, which are shared once they recombine with the collective. This can be done even after a copy dies. Though they keep their individual quirks and differences, this shared experience usually keeps them from deviating too much from each other. For the most part, Andrea and her copies are *mostly* one person.
The darker side to this shared experience is highlighted by her "Death Others." When an Andrea goes through significant trauma and death, the collective tries to shield their greater number by splitting off that copy. This is what they call a Death Other, who would then go her separate way. Until Felix gave her the ability to select which experiences and memories she kept when recombining, the Andrea collective never expected to rejoin with their Death Others.
Felix did more than this, though. He upgraded her ability to allow her to partition and separate copies into truly separate beings. Andrea uses this to allow copies whose personalities deviated far enough from herself to become their own person(s) (though they retained the ability to combine if needed). This allowed Adriana Elex to split off from Andrea and become a separate Prime for her own copies. The original Prime, who identifies as Myriad, later split off as well. (Myriad was the original Prime/personality of Andrea Elex, before some trauma that left the current Andrea as the dominant personality.)
Though each Elex sister can competently fill each other's roles, Andrea tends to be more tech savvy and has a softer personality. In contrast, Adriana takes on the more militant role. Myriad is closer to Adriana in temperament, but kept herself at a greater distance from Felix for most of the SSOSH series so far.
Andrea wanted to have children and, after being healed by a dryad (sent by Felix’s half-brother Vince from core world #69), was able to do so. Felix got both Andrea's and Adriana's Seconds pregnant, who moved to Legion World carry their "litters" in safety.
