~ about me :Andrew is super flippant; which means frivolously disrespectful and lacking in seriousness. When he happens to enroll himself in school, he is seen as a 'bad boy' and people are surprised to find that he is very smart. Though his saucy attitude is hardly why no one would ever approach him. He is also brash and presumptuous; he says what he believes very forwardly. Andrew has a modest side that he shows often. He doesn't talk much because even though he is flippant and brash, he is also shy. He doesn't have anyone at all anymore so he is very lonely which is what affects his outward appearance. He looks emphatically sad all the time. He generally tries to hide it, but if you pay attention you can see the age old sadness in his golden eyes.

~ history :
His mother and father; Elizabeth and Joseph Walsh were originally from england but they moved to America ten years before Andrew was born. They were happily married and deeply in love. Elizabeth and Joseph moved to New York City and lived in a fair sized five bedroom house and started a banking business. They had Andrew and his twin brother John on December 17th 1922. They loved both their boys intensely and equally. They were a happy family and when Andrew and John were 6 their parents had another baby, a adorable little girl named Katie. Andrew immediately loved his little sister and bonded with her quickly. Andrew went to school until he was 17 and then dropped out to work and help out. He worked hard at a family banking business. They were a fortunate family; they had enough money to eat and pay for their home. Andrew fell in love with a girl one year younger than him when he was 18. He was going to ask her to marry him when the war came to his attention.

The year was the year 1941 and World War II had officially begun. Being the patriots they were, Andrew and John signed themselves into the ranks of the United States Marine Corps. The rose quickly through the ranks, they were both extremely charismatic and everyone respected and enjoyed them. They were both talented, Andrew was a highly skilled sniper. His brother was his partner, he hid with Andrew and watched his back while paying close attention to the wind and other characteristics of the weather and distance. They were stationed in Statlingrad; which was a town in southwestern Russia. They were 19, he had been trained for a year to make a pink mist. He wanted that badly, and it was approaching fast. They had been stalking, observing and mapping for over three weeks, waiting for their chance to fire a round. They were supposed to take out a General Reznov, and were waiting for a great shot. They camped in the woods, it was winter so it was well below freezing and snowing.

They would move everyday, not wanting to stay in the same spot. And everyday they would find a spot to wait out and and watch out, Andrew enjoyed the laying prone with a sandbag supporting the stock, and the stock's cheek-piece against his cheek. He was specially trained to breathe deeply before shooting, then hold his lungs empty while he lined up and take their shot.They even went further in teaching him to shoot between heartbeats to minimize barrel motion. He was in that same position, ready to finally take that shot. He asked his brother for clearance when there was no answer. He waited for a moment then he sighed and turned to find that his brother wasn't there. He deftly pulled out his pistol and looked around. He heard a choking sound to find his brother laying ten feet behind him, a beautiful creature standing over him. The creature smiled at Andrew alluringly, the last thing he remembered was him firing four loud shots and foreign voices yelling before his world went black and his life changed forever.

Andrew woke up in the dark, his senses deft and his strength and speed just as increased. Only when he went in the sunlight and go to the water and see his reflection, and feel the burn in his throat when he saw the body of his twin brother did he realize what he had become. He hated himself- hated what he was. He tried to kill himself but couldn't find a way to do it. He stayed in the cave he woke up in, he couldn't find the will to go on knowing he was a monster. The thirst was insane and he almost went mad from the pain. He didn't dare touch his brother's body, he could only think of one other food source there could be. Humans. Not just any humans, the Enemy. Bad people. He sought out a company of charlie and attacked it. The burn in his throat decreased as he drank his first human.

Andrew lived in the woods for a few months before venturing out into the world. The first place he went to was home to America. He swam all the way to New York, it may have taken a month he never counted. By then his eyes were a bright red. He hunted and then after stealing clothes and waiting for night fall, he visited his family for the last time. He was dressed in a suit, and when his little sister who was by then 13 answered the door, saw him, they were very surprised. Andrew's family were the first humans he were ever near to and he found it staggering. It wasn't only the intense burn in his throat; he could feel them. Feel how they felt, feel exactly what they felt the was he felt. He passed it off as another vampire trait. They had not seen him or John or heard from then for over a year. They noticed his eyes were not their usual dark brown and that his handsomely tan skin was then a chalky white. He blamed the changes on the cruel snow and clouds. They reluctantly believe him.

After a night of time together he hugged them; they thought he was hugging them goodnight when he really was hugging them goodbye. He went to his old room and wrote a long letter explaining what happened to his brother and left it on the bed. He filled a bag with clothes a some money from a spot him and John hid and set back out into the night. He traveled ever since then, never staying in a spot for nearly a year. He finally met another vampire when he was thirty, but this vampire was a vegetarian. He tried to persuade Andrew to change his diet but Andrew would not budge. This vampire was called Larten. Larten explained Andrew's extra power to him, that he met an other vampire who had an extra gift. He thought it was just a strength of theirs when they were human that grew even stronger when they 'died'. Larten also explained the rules and ways of vampires. Andrew travled and grew close to Larten when they had a run in with a child of the moon. The child of the moon killed Larten, and Andrew only just managed to get away. He has traveled alone ever since. Andrew grew more depressed as he hunted humans and could feel their fear and pain as he killed them. Finally, he resorted to animal blood, where he was safe from the emotions of the humans. Gradually he got better, but he is still very lonely. His eyes are now an amber gold.

~ role play sample :
“That is exactly what I am wondering,”

She led him to the familiar living room and sat down on the couch, he remembered all the times when they laid together on it and watched movies. He wished that it could be as easy as it once was. She held on to his hand even after they were seated, he took his free hand and laced it through her other free hand. He never wanted to let go. He breathed in and out slowly, his blue eyes watching their hands.

“I know what you are about to tell me. . . And I know it's going to be hard. If you need to stop at any point, please feel free to. I don't want you to suffer for my own sake of knowing what happened.”

He nodded. "Yes. Thank you for that." he felt himself relax but only a tiny bit. No matter where he went he always had his guard up. "I guess I'll start where it all began." he breathed out, "I was leading my team through town when a young boy ran out in front of us. He was speaking in a foreign language, so our translater had to intervene. The problem was, we weren't sure what language the boy was speaking. Our translater knows over ten different languages, but not one of them matched the boy's. But whatever the boy wad saying, I knew he was scared. My team and I loaded our weapons and spread out, we buddies up in twos and headed out, we searched the area and found a irrigation system there were dunes beyond that, dunes were common places for Charlie to hide. We thought we cleared the area but we made a mistake. There were some Charlie hiding, waiting for us."

Alec stopped for a moment, he closed his eyes before continuing. "Shots were fired, I was hit in the shoulder and lower back. My buddy wasn't so lucky. The shots that hit him were fatal. We had gone to far out and I knew my mistake. I blacked out shortly after." he exhaled again and opened his eyes and looked back up into her eyes. "I woke up and it was very bright, lights were shining on me. At first I thought I was dead, until I heard people speaking in a different language that sounded close to the one the boy from earlier had been speaking in. I was. . ." he licked his lips. "I was bound to a chair, and the pain . . ." he shook his head. "Two men approached me, both were obviously Iraqi. One spoke English, he said, 'Tell them not to come here again. Tell your country it is hopeless.' He had a video camera, they wanted to record the messages and send them to the government. When I didn't do what they said-" he looke back down. "I was punished. Once they figured out I wasn't going to speak for them, they just sent recording of them punishing me. This went on for a long time."

He bit his lip. He remembered how they used to torture him, and he couldn't help the shudder that came over him when he thought about it. "I had almost given up hope until I heard the choppers. The Army had found their base and had sieged it. But they had kept me hidden. I screamed for help but I was down in a basement area. Eventually, all was quiet. I found some old wood rotted boards and broke through. After some walking and wandering my team found me, and here I am."

Alec had skipped over many details he didn't think he'd ever be able to talk about. "The whole time all I could hold on to was staying strong for my country and coming home to you. Those were the only things that kept me going." Alec was still scared that she had moved on. "I know that I have been gone for a long time. . .that you buried me." he closed his eyes for a few moments, then opened them again. "If you have moved on I understand." his voice was softer, his face softened with quiet sadness.

power application
-------------------------------------

~ Charisma :

~ details : He can feel the emotions of other like they were his own and control them and make them feel what he wants to feel. Like Jasper;

~ weaknesses :

• Since he can feel emotions he can't attack or defend well without faltering from their feelings.
  
• He is very sensitive to it still and hasn't learned how to exert full control over his power and that leaves him open.
  
• His power makes him even more antisocial than he would be without it; which leaves him more alone than ever.
  

~ strength :

• He can make any attackers feel very sleepy or scared which could help him in a fight. But that requires much focus and they can't be feeling strong emotions or he can't do it.
  
• He can feel when someone gets suspicious, their emotions are usually unsure and scared, so when he recognizes that he can go.
  
• Andrew isn't as bothered by human blood as he was before, but when he feels the emotions of someone who is literally a bad person, it makes it harder for him not to kill them and get a taste of his old food source.
  

~ realization : When Andrew killed his first human he faintly noticed the human's pain. He ignored it as the feeding frenzy took over. He only fully recognized it when he came home to his family. He could feel their emotions. Later on, he learned more when Larten explained a few things about extra gifts to him. He learned that he could control their emotions along with feel them when he came into more contact with humans and traveled with Larten.

ok the app is fine but i have one problem with the power. it seems you have three powers in one.
1. the ability to feel others emotions
2. to make people feel different emotions
3. compulsion

the last one is very strong and dangerous so i would like that one to be cut completely. we can merge the emotions thing together to make it like jaspers power no problem. we dont have twilight canons on here so thats fine. the strengths and weaknesses are good too. the strength about erasing memories needs to go, thats another power there. you need to rewrite it to say you can make them feel differently. empathy has nothing to do with brainwashing or compulsion.

just delete the compulsion in the overall power and the strengths and the character is yours.
