Personality:
+ Cheerful | Optimistic | Friendly
+/- Empathetic | Charming
- Foolhardy | Insecure | Mischievous
Andre may seem to be a shady guy at first, but in reality he's just a massive softie for the most part. He's surprisingly optimistic even after all these years and is a pretty emphatic and understanding guy who'll try to listen to your problems and help you if you want him to. He loves the company of others and comes off as a charming and friendly guy- but this can lead to Andre's mischievous side to come out. Will sometimes flirt without even realizing he's doing so. He's become a lot more mature during the many years he's been alive and is able to work under stress for the most part. If emotionally strained it's possible Andre will become foolhardy and pushed far enough Andre might show a darker side of himself. He can be pretty insecure but it tends to be hidden by his sunny disposition.

-------
Andre's life didn't start an easy one, born in the 1600's- Andre was born-- just to be taken away from his family at a young age as he was sold off as a slave to work at cultivating sugar in the fields and doing jobs for his owners. He was denied access to education or any sort of privileges, treated solely as an object to be used in whatever way his owners wanted.
As the years went on, his mental health turned for the worst, as he turned twenty...something happened. He...started seeing something- something he shouldn't be seeing. It was only in reflections...but then a voice started speaking into his head...telling him things- an odd creature plagued his dreams and Andre slowly started to loose control of himself. There were things he seemed to be able to do which were...abnormal, the slave kept quiet about all of this.
When he reached 27 years of age-- Something snapped.
There was pain blooming against his skin as he was beat mercilessly for a mistake he had caused and then...then there was that devilish unnatural voice in his head.
'Use me, let me help you.'
When he came to, his owner was lying on the ground, bleeding from the his nose- unconscious. This is was it, he needed to run- if not god knows what would happen once his owner awoke again...
And so he ran- he ran for 10 years straight.
During that time he traveled around, used his charms and wits to just get by in life without being captured and enslaved again. His relationship with that voice in his head grew stronger and stronger, gaining more control of new found abilities and learning more about...what the hell was happening and finally at the age of 37- he finally fused.
That gave way to a whole new life.
He let himself enjoy life, he started self teaching himself all sorts of things- he dipped into many things, performing, languages and even medicine- which is what he decided to settle on. The years went on and as he grew as a person and a self taught doctor, Andre wanted to help others like him get through the struggles that he faced.
And that's when he met a certain human by the name Cecil.
It was odd...how intrigued Cecil was in him, Andre at first tried to scare him away. Did anything to just- push him away...and yet Cecil persisted, he didn't seem to care that he was practically a monster...they grew into travelling buddies and as time went on, the demi daegra fell for the human and somehow, the human reciprocated.
Life...seemed to look bright, the two going on adventures around the world...but there was always the concept of Andre outgrowing Cecil in the back of their mind.
'Sometimes I think it'd be better if I died young, so you can remember me like this.'
'No, I don't care if you become old. I love you, I want to spend as much time as I can with you- to see you live out your life,
please let me be this selfish.'
'...Okay.'
The two settled down in south America and with the common interest of helping the possessed, they started up a shelter together. Helping all sorts of people to get through their struggles and to get them better. It was hard, but the two persevered.
And one day, Cecil feel ill.
He wouldn't get a chance to get better.
Andre held his hand as he felt Cecil's grip grow weaker in his, offering one last smile to his lover as Cecil took his last breath.
It was hard from then on, he almost gave up a couple of times. But he held on to his and Cecil's dream and carried on with the shelter, the unofficial establishment getting bigger and busier. More staff were implemented and Andre sometimes took business trips- offering a place in his shelter for anyone that he found and wanted to.
On one of those trips, he met a young girl called Vesper and brought her back to the shelter. She was...unstable- incredibly so, Andre worked with her personally and they grew a close bond. Unfortunately the daegra's hold on the girl was too much and she was overpowered- as she finally unlocked her first ability she lashed out in a violent fit. It took a while, face and neck clawed into by Vesper- but he slowly managed to calm the girl down, bringing her back. Everything seemed to calm down...
And then the humans came.
God he doesn't even know how it happened, but word must have gotten out and the town came with all they had to purge the wicked. Andre tried his best to protect his patients, even as the establishment caught aflame...but alas he was overwhelmed by the quantity of humans and was taken, the last thing he remembered was seeing the face of Vesper...the way she reached out for him and he reached back out for her as he was restrained.
'Andre--!'
A man grabbed her from behind as Andre screamed.
'VESPER--!'
A bag was placed over his head.
It was all a blur from then on, he had ended up in prison for god knows for a month or two, only his thoughts to keep him company and sane as he was subjected to countless interrogations about the demi daegras and his establishment. He kept his mouth shut, no matter what method they used, he said not a peep. He'd never give his fellow peers away, even if it killed him.
One day, the gate to his cell was open and he was dragged out. Before he knew it he was out, a letter in his hand. He wasn't quite sure what had happened, they told him he had been cleared of any charges and suspicions.
Andre read a letter, which invited him to Godsglaow Asylum. Supposedly the people that bailed him out.
...Well.
He had nothing else left, did he?
Power:
Neural Impulse Manipulation
Ability 1: Reflexes
Tier 1: Andre is able to sense someone's reflex action as a small premonition. This does not grant him the ability to always stop or dodge something if it's fast and sudden.
Tier 2: His reaction speed vastly increases and allows an extra small amount of time to act.
Tier 3: He is able to assess a situation as if it were in slow motion and act upon it. Everything is still moving so this ability is time limited.
Ability 2: Pain Manipulation (Only one person can be affected at a time)
Tier 1: Andre can decrease or increase the amount of pain someone or himself might be feeling. If he is using this ability on someone else he has to be touching them, there has to be pain present for this ability to work. This ability does not heal wounds.
Tier 2: Andre can transfer pain to someone else, whether it's his own or not. Transferal is done through contact. If transferring pain from another person, Andre only has 5 minutes to transfer to someone else or he'll absorb it himself.
Tier 3: Andre is able to induce an illusion of pain to someone by touching them without actually physically harming them. This ability only holds up while Andre is touching the other person if not it'll disperse.
Ability 3: Neurocognitive Deficit (Only one person can be affected at a time)
Tier 1: By touching someone, Andre can temporarily shut down a part of someone's mind and disable someone's ability to use their powers for a maximun of 10 minutes. As time progresses they'll slowly be able to regain control until time is up.
Tier 2: By touching someone, Andre can temporarily is able to shut down certain parts of a person's brain to bring them into a tranquilized state where they still hold their consciousness but are unable to properly process information and movement. This ability wears off after 15 minutes.
Tier 3: By touching someone, Andre can shut down a part of someone's mind and bring them into unconsciousness. The cool down for this ability is 5 hours, someone can wake up anytime after 20 minutes have passed.
Ability 4: Mind Break (Only one person can be affected at a time)
Tier 1: By touching someone, Andre can inhibit and implant countless thoughts into someone's head to the point it disrupts someone's process of thought and can induce from dizziness and confusement to where someone is in physical pain over it. This only works as long as long as Andre is touching his target and the longer he's touching them the worse the consequences are. After he lets go the target will be able to slowly regain control of their mind once again. Cool down is 5 hours.
Tier 2: By touching someone, Andre can erase a memory from someone's mind. Andre doesn't have proper control of this ability and it will erase the most prominent memory at that moment. Cool down is 48 hours.
Tier 3: By touching someone, Andre can implant simple commands into someone's brain. This can be used temporarily as a ranged ability where Andre can still implant simple commands but in this case it's easier to overcome and disobey and Andre has had to touch them first. Control dissipates after 5 minutes without touching. Cool down is 24 hours.
