“Woke up and wished that I was dead with an aching in my head, I lay motionless in bed. The night is here and the day is gone, and the world spins madly on.”
Full Name: Andrew Stevens.
Occupation: Neurosurgeon.
Face Claim: Ryan Reynolds.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Andrew was the pride and joy of his upperclass parents, whom expected their son to be great and achieve fame and fortune before the age of forty. His father was a respected congressman and his mother a socialite who cared more about people envying the life she had than actually living it. His life was pretty average for a privileged kid; he was enrolled into the best schools in Boston as soon as he was old enough to learn, he was part of the soccer team and his social life consisted of shallow friends his mother thought “appropriate” to hang out with. Even when he made it to high school, Andrew did not rebel against his mother’s shallow reign over his life. He had too much respect for his parents to actually try and change the plan they had for him, so he bent down his head and allowed them to tell him what to do with his life.
Andrew did not make a decision of his own until he graduated from high school and announced that he wanted to become a doctor. His parents were pleased with the decision and shipped him off to George Washington University to start his pre-med studies. For the first time in his life, Andrew got to live without having to double-think every single word that came out of his mouth or every decision that he took. He enjoyed the freedom of not being under his mother’s constant glare. In GW, he finally became his own person. He became friends with people he actually liked, found a girlfriend that was not half-girl half-robot and worked hard to earn good grades.
After the two years of pre-med, he got into Johns Hopkins University and moved to Baltimore to continue his studies. Four years later, he graduated at the top of his class and continued his residency in John Hopkins to become a neurosurgeon. In Baltimore, Andrew created a life that he enjoyed living. Sure, the stress of the hospital got to him from time to time, but he was actually happy with who he was. He had a close group of friends that he cared about, had moved in with his serious girlfriend whom was now his fiancée and was on his way to becoming a neurosurgeon. His life was practically perfect, or that’s what he had believed, until he found out his fiancée had been cheating on him with one of their mutual friends.
Completely devastated, Andrew moved out of the apartment he shared with his fiancée and finished his last year of residency in a blur. He got through by hitting the bottle hard, sleeping around with random women and spending most of his time on the hospital, avoiding his reality at all costs. Once he finished his residency, he desperately searched for a way out of Baltimore and found solace in Seattle, Washington, after he was offered the position of attending neurosurgeon in the University of Washington’s medical center.
Once in Seattle, Andrew got his act clean. He stopped drinking so much, cut down the amount of women he slept with and focused instead on his new job. He got a small studio near the hospital and mostly kept to himself, still hurt by what had happened in Baltimore. Now, four years later, not a lot has changed. He still lives in the same studio, still works unhealthy hours and still likes to drink scotch and take women home, but he’s ready to move on from his fiancée and the life he left behind in Baltimore. He’s finally opening up to others and making friends, sort of becoming the person he was before he got his heart broken.
Andrew is a charming individual. He’s good-looking, flirty and humorous, which makes him popular with the general human species. He’s also a quick thinker, which has helped him save a life on more than one occasion. Yet, he’s not all friendly and kind, Andrew also has a side he won’t let most people see. Guarded and unforgiving, Andrew has built up walls around his heart that refuse to fall down for anyone. He can be spiteful when provoked and tends to act recklessly, even when it’s uncalled for. He won’t let people in and refuses to be anything more than casual and friendly, preferring to keep his distance when he sees he’s growing too attached.
