CELEBRITY CLAIM Liam Hemsworth

EYE COLOUR Ice blue

HAIR COLOUR Andy blonde

HEIGHT & WEIGHT 6'3" and 195 pounds

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES The easiest thing to notice about Andy is his eyes. They are this brilliant shade of ice blue that pop out against his tan skin. The next thing would probably be his height, he is very tall, the tallest person in his family in fact.

CLOTHING STYLE Back home Andy had a very busy life living on his family's farm so the fashion bug never exactly bit him. If it's comfortable then Andy likes it, and he'd trade all the fancy cloths in the world for a good fitting pair of blue jeans. For the most part his wardrobe consists of t-shirts and western style button down shirts. Or if he can get away with it, no shirt at all. And of course jeans. Another item you'll almost never see him without is a hat, be it his cowboy hat or just is favorite baseball cap. That's pretty much it, simple, functional, and comfortable.

OTHER N/A

HISTORY Andy's childhood started out pretty normal for any kid who'd been born into a ranching family. When he was a little kid all he did was goof off all day. His parents didn't have the money to send him off to pre-school so until he was about four years old every day was nothing but fun for him. It was the nights he never looked forward to. It was almost routine for his parents to have huge screaming matches every night. His mother, who had been from the city, had fallen for a good ole boy and now she wanted out. She couldn't stand being a rancher's wife, or a mother for that fact, and now that Andy wasn't a cute little baby anymore she just wanted to be rid of the both of them. Almost every night she made threats that she was going to leave, though she never did. Little Andy never expected what happened next.

It was about mid July when Andy woke up from a dead sleep to the sound of his new baby sister's ear splitting crying. The next sound he heard was all too familiar, his parents fighting. He fell out of his little big boy bed and ran into the nursery where little Nina lay crying out helplessly in her crib. This wasn't the first time this situation had come about. You see Nina was a very fussy baby and Lilly just couldn't take it when she would start screaming, so she'd just leave her there in her crib to scream herself to sleep or atleast until she stopped. Most of the time though Andrew Sr. would come take care of the little girl and calm her down. But tonight Andrew Sr. and Lilly were too busy fighting to even notice. Andy dropped the side of the crib down and grabbed his little sister, who was nearly as big as he was, to try to comfort her. All the sudden his parents came busting into the room, screaming words at each other he didn't even understand. Well except for two "I'm leaveing!" Those were the last words he heard out of his mother's mouth before she smacked his father across the face and stormed out of the room. His father put his large hand over the side of his face that she'd smacked and slid down against the wall, a dumbstruck look on his face and tears rolling freely from his eyes. Andy had never seen the big man cry. He looked down at his little sister, who was still pitching a fit, and plopped down on the floor, resting her on his lap. Somehow he knew his mommy wouldn't be coming back after tonight.

Life after that night was hectic for Andrew Sr. and Jr. The little boy had to grow up fast, learn the family business and help his father along with raise his little sister. It wasn't long before Andy had to learn to ride, rope and work the cattle with his dad. Andrew Sr. gave his son a beautiful blue roan mustang named Sitka. Andy couldn't count on two hands how many times that horse made him eat dirt before the two finally came to the understanding of who was boss, but once they did they were insuperable. As he got older Andy would be out working with his father all day long to make ends meet, it even got to a point where they had to hire a nanny to watch over Nina during the day, which was just another financial stress for them.

Day by day the stress just added, the weight piling up on his young shoulders to the point where he felt like he just couldn't take anymore. He began disappearing all day with his horse and his dog. At the tender age of 10 he would run off to the far reaches of the large chunk of land that had been in his family for generations. He began arguing with his father, disobeying him at every chance he could get, and lashing out at anyone who tried to help him. It was only his grandmother who had eventually been able to get through to the young boy. She scolded him and told him to stop being ungrateful and selfish. Yes, his life had started out hard, but she made him realize that his father's had been harder trying to care and provide for his two young children. From that point on whenever Andy's temper would flare he would hear the wise old woman's voice ringing in his ears telling him to stop being a brat.

It was a hot summer night and Andy was sitting on the long front porch of the main house. He looked up to the sky and watched the huge thunder heads roll in. Summer thundershowers were all to common and he'd seen them every summer he could remember, but this one was going to be big. Rain began falling, big heavy drops that made a dull thud on the hard wood steps as they touched down. They fell slow at first, but it didn't take long before it was a full fledged down pour. Andy looked out to the front holding pens and were filled to bursting with cattle that were to be taken to market in the morning. The animals were restless. Then the thunder and lightning started. Huge claps of thunder rolled over the skys followed by quick, hard strikes of lighting. One of those strikes touched down close to the holding pen and all the animals inside began to panic. "Turn out the steers!" He heard his father shout from the barn. The two of them knew it was better to turn them lose and have to round them back up then to risk damage to equipment and animals. He darted off the porch and over to the gait for the pen. He fiddled with the slick latch and the animals slammed themselves against the sides until finally he knocked the latch free. Quickly he pulled back the big metal gait and watched as all their stock ran out and headed straight for the open range of the family land. He watched them until they were out of view, not even noticing the big clap of thunder that had rolled over head. His father called out his name just in time for the huge bolt of lighting to hit the top of the metal pen and travel straight through him. Andrew Sr. watched in horror as his son lit up like a christmas tree. But Sr noticed something amazing as he ran over and grabbed his son. Through tear soaked eyes he noticed the boy wasn't harmed, and as he told his father later, he hadn't even felt it. It was then that Sr. knew there was something special about his son. His elemental powers had woken up.

A few weeks later Andy was taken his grand parent's house, his father knew that if anyone knew what was happening to his son, he would. The old man explained that he too had power over one of the elements, his was fire, and his grandmother's was thunder. The old man explained to Andrew Sr that he didn't develop these talents and they feared that Andy wouldn't either. But he had. It wasn't long after that that the recruiters from the Academy came looking for Andy. His father was very reluctant to let him go and the biggest condition was that he come home every summer to help bring the cattle out of the mountain pastures and get them off to market. Andy agreed and reluctantly enrolled in the school for children 'gifted' like he was, leaving behind everything he'd known up until then.

Now that he's been in the Academy a few years and been away from the watchful eye of his father most of the year, Andy has taken a bit of a rough turn. For the most part he is a loner and doesn't really socialize with the people he goes tot school with, only when he's invited to a party and has a few drinks under his belt does he open up and start raising hell. More then once he's found himself in a great deal of trouble for it too.
