PRE-FRANKENSTEIN

June 29th, 1982, Andrew Brauer was born Rosanne Hidwin and Erik Brauer. He was an only child until 1994, when his little sister, Josephine, was born. The two were close, had a healthy sibling relationship, and were actually getting along with each other. But when their parents divorced, Andrew lived with their father and Josephine with their mother. The divorce was what caused the two to drift apart in their relationship, but at least they got to see each other weekly. Andrew wasn't too happy about it, though. He missed the time he was spending with his sister. Despite this, Andrew was able to find a new, more frequent attachment. He still wishes he and Sophie spent more time together, though.

However, Since Kindergarten, Andrew became friends with a boy named Thomas Holt. Thomas was a bit obsessed with the idea of magic when they met, and honestly? Andrew lived for it. He'd always enjoy hearing about Thomas' interests, and he was glad that Thomas always seemed to listen to his. Sooner or later, the two became inseparable, staying with each other in everything that they did, which includes going to the same college, being doormmates in said college, and even working in the same building. Pretty much the only thing that the two literally couldn't do together was marriage. Not because it was looked down upon, but because Andrew had married Thomas' sister, Delilah, and became the father of his firstborn daughter, Audrey. Nonetheless, Thomas and Andrew stayed together till the very end, and even after the very end, too. But just what was the very end?

One day, Andrew had contracted pneumonia and stayed home from work for about a week. He felt bad having missed so many days and he missed working on the development of project.INQUIRY, who was also named Ophelia. By the time that week passed, he was starting to recover, and decided to come back to work. Many people were surprised to see him back, especially Thomas, who had even tried to convince him to go back home since Andrew was technically still sick, even though he was recovering. He was adamant on staying, though, and was too stubborn to leave. The rest of the team just had to put up with them. He picked a bad day to come back, however.

Later on in the day, when everyone else had left (unbeknownst to him and Thomas) there was an unexplained explosion at the lab in their facility and project.INQUIRY was now missing! The explosion rendered Andrew immobilized, for his leg was pinned underneath rubble that neither of them could move. Luckily Thomas wasn't as injured as he was, but it still took a few hours for Thomas to finally set Andrew free--no one had come to their rescue. Not their team, not Delilah, no one. But by then, his leg had lost a lot of blood--too much for either of their tastes, though Andrew thought almost nothing of it. He was calm during the whole ordeal while Thomas was practically pulling his hair out.

For all Andrew knew, he died of blood loss. It's sworn by Thomas and Josephine that he never finds out his actual cause of death.

POST-FRANKENSTEIN

Andrew stayed dead, like a normal person, until 3 years later. Thomas, unbeknownst to Andrew (obviously, he's dead) put Andrew's body in a freezer to preserve him. Creepy, yet clever, because someone just happened to come along that could actually bring Andrew back to life! Her name was Elle, and reanimation was something that she did best. Elle was Josephine's friend, so she was happy to help bring a family member back to life. It worked like a charm, and Andrew was finally living again.

Being reanimated has its perks--he was now 6'4", 8 inches taller than he used to be, and now taller than Thomas. Along with the heightened height, he also became physically stronger. Like, a lot stronger. Someone could describe that as inhuman. But anything with pros has to come with cons, and the biggest con was that Andrew didn't remember anything when he initially woke up. Thomas didn't mind having to refill him in on the important bits. Andrew even thought Thomas was a girl when he first saw him again because of his long hair. It didn't take too long for Andrew to get back into the swing of things, though. Not long after, the two found out who had stolen project.INQUIRY. It was Delilah, Andrew's now ex-wife. Retrieving her, she was finally back in a rightful home. After that, Andrew quickly went back to being a father, older brother, and best friend.

He didn't stay a best friend for as long as he was expecting to, though. Thomas' doings (that Andrew personally didn't mind since what he was doing to his co-workers was something they deserved) got him in trouble with the law, as it would anybody. Thomas did choose to run, and Andrew ran with him. Alas, the chase only lasted for 10 years, much shorter than Andrew would have liked. Thomas did what Andrew thought was unthinkable: turning himself in. Andrew was distraught by the idea, doing everything he could have to make Thomas change his mind, but to no avail.

Thomas was publicly executed, and Andrew was there to see it.

POST-AMEN

Thomas' death definitely put Andrew in a depressive state. At least he and Audrey were living with Josephine now. That was about the only pro he could think of. Living with his sister gives them the opportunity to catch up on life, but if Andrew were being honest, he spent a lot of his time thinking about Thomas more than anyone else. He doesn't become neglectful, no, but thinking about Thomas drives a lot of his activity, and his activity consists of going to the bar and staying there all night just about every day.

Sometimes he gets drunk, sometimes he gets wasted, sometimes he just sits to listen to the music at the bar. When he first started going to the bar, it was to compensate for Thomas' death. But after meeting a certian spectre--an apparition that he'd never thought he'd see again, he'd be coming to the bar more often just to talk to him. But not only at the bar, he'd talk to him at any chance. Josephine is definitely worried for Andrew. Not only does he go to the bar because he's devastated by Thomas's death, but now he claims to be talking to Thomas' ghost! Audrey's worried as well, but possibly held on to the chance that she could talk to Thomas, too.

Maybe, just maybe, he could come back like Andrew did 10 years ago.
