Before.
Andrew was born to a lovely couple in Ireland. His life was great, he enjoyed his home life. Growing up in Ireland was everything to him. He had friends, his family there -- but his father wanted a change. At the age of fifteen, Andrew was hauled off to the states. Chicago Illinois to be exact; The view was completely different from Ireland. The only thing that remained the same was the fact that it was cold half the time -- Chicago being known as the Windy City did have its reasoning. However, it lacked color.
Andrew attended school in Chicago, went to a college in Chicago and became an officer at the Chicago PD. His life was on track -- he was still planning on going back home, back to Ireland that is. That never happened, he became more focused on his work going from officer to making it to Detective to becoming a Sergeant. He had a commitment here in Chicago, so going back to Ireland and starting a family there was suddenly a pipe dream.
After.
When the virus broke out, he had been on the field working a case. It was a strange one seeing that the calls had come off as strange. Dead bodies coming to life? Andrew believed it had to be drugs. Getting to the scene changed his entire life when he saw actual bodies coming back to life. He lost his team and learned the hard way on how to kill the living dead.
It suddenly seemed like he was in a nightmare. He instantly went home to realize his dad had been bitten while at work. Andrew thought nothing of it, just that they had to move. His mother wrapped his father up (since hospitals were going crazy) and Andrew grabbed whatever he can to evacuate. There was no word on a safe zone, the news was showing nothing but chaos. Who would have thought that the world would literally end this way? (conspiracy theorists, maybe. Andrew? Not so much.)
His travels weren’t an easy one. Especially after losing his dad to the virus. He lost both his parents to the virus pretty soon because his mother refused to leave by his father’s side, thinking that all he needed was a reminder of who he was. Andrew couldn’t keep his mother safe and ended up putting both his parents down.
He continued on his own, finding shelter where he could, provisions where he could. The world was suddenly an untrustworthy place to be in and he knew to keep alive he had to keep to himself. Once a man who wore an officer’s uniform now resorted to simple clothing. The only thing you can see him wearing is a neckerchief which he easily pulls up to shield himself from breathing in any toxins. At this point, he doesn’t really care what happens to him. They were all going to die anyway;
He found himself at the gates of Ravenswood a year after his departure from his own home. It was the only place that seemed in control apart from the chaos that he’s noticed and witnessed.
Now and Personality.
Andrew worked hard to earn his keep, proving his place at the sanctuary. He’s been tired of running, so this is as good as place as any. Personality wise, he isn’t a person that trusts easily - considering all the horrors he has seen, but that doesn’t mean he won’t give the people at Ravenswood a chance. It may not be normal, but it is the new normal and something he wants to be a part of. He’s the quiet one when people usually see him, but he’ll also be the one to strike up a conversation. He’s friendly once you get to know him -- although slightly awkward seeing that he hasn’t had proper human interaction since the outbreak. He’s lost many of his friends which causes him fear of getting close to others.
He’s seen many horrible things in his life time - part of it being from his job, but nothing compares to the horrors he’s witnessed with people forgetting about humanity and killing or destroying others just to survive. It isn’t the world he imagined, but can’t do much about that now can we? So he’s here, trying to play his part, trying to stay alive and keep the only ones around him that actually seem sane alive and safe.
-basic connections:
He’s been here for 8 months now so -Friends -Rivals or something with tensions? -FWB (guy or girl he’s bisexual so doesn’t matter) -Best friend -confidante - anything and everything really!
