ABOUT
A completely normal human man. Rick Andrews is a bodyguard by trade, more for the sake of indulging his urge to put little men in their place than anything else. But something about him just doesn't seem quite right. Maybe it's his eyes. Maybe it's the way he doesn't seem able to perceive women, even when they're right in front of him. Maybe it's just his vacant little smile. Hard to say, really, but no matter how you slice it, he's neither magic nor alien, even if it might make more sense to the people around him if he were.

PERSONALITY
Andrews is a simple man. He likes to make other men afraid, and likes knowing he's stronger than them. Normally this is very easily the case, and he's completely unflappable. But then sometimes it isn't quite the case, and some little fuse inside his head blows. He can never be satisfied until he's defeated the man he feels threatened by, in some way or another. And if he finds defeat in combat, his anger and determination only grow, until he is entirely blind to the increasingly obvious danger this presents to him. Until the man who has defeated him is taken down, he will not know peace.
"Man," of course, being the operative word. Andrews isn't a misogynist, strictly speaking. He simply could not perceive women (or most nonbinary people), regardless of looks, personality, or ability, even if he wanted to. "Hello, ma'am," he cordially recites, experiencing no further thought or urge to engage. He lives in a world of men, with all of his passions and struggles relating to them entirely.
Those passions, however, aren't terribly easy for him to identify. While technically capable of experiencing fear, intimidation, attraction, and even romantic feelings, he never really knows what they are when he feels them, and this confusion really only serves to make him a bit angry. He's a braindead attack dog of a person, and being so simple in his desires, he rather likes it that way.

"RARARGHARGHRARGH"PAST
Raised by a pleasant and entirely unimportant single father, Andrews is remarkable in that he has not changed even a little bit in his entire life. Sure, he got bigger and taller, he grew from boy to man, but in personality, he somehow managed to retain the exact same traits. Very little about his upbringing was exceptional, and the fact that he turned out the way he did was as big a mystery then as it is now.
PRESENT
Andrews is happily employed by clients the world over as a long-term bodyguard, usually in Europe. He considers it a pretty nice step up, considering how good it pays. And if a job dries up, he sates his enthusiasm for violence with amateur prizefights, which he nearly always wins. But that's a rare occasion, as he's good enough at his job that his clients like to keep him onboard, especially when it's a capo for the mafia with an equal love of subjugating men he dislikes.
DIVINE COMEDY
Andrews works currently in the employ of Dante Romanesco, who has a very simple job for him. Point gun at cowering pretty boys and do as he's told. Not a bad shout, for how well he's being paid. :]
ON THE GREY
Many things are good enough for Andrews. Winning "most" of his fights is not one of those things. It'd be one thing if the geeky nerd who keeps beating him weren't so huge or if he'd lose to Andrews for a change, but Marcel Zumebachi just won't go down at his hand, and it pisses Andrews the fuck off. The boy is built for combat and even after allowing Andrews an evening in his bedroom, he had the utter gall to refuse to bottom, piling one indignity upon another.
Andrews wants to win. It's not asking much, not really. He doesn't think so, anyway.
So when he gets hired to hold Marcel at gunpoint while his client takes him home, he's a little more eager than most to combine business and pleasure.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

Boss. :]
Hello, ma'am :]
Haha, funny little men. Andrews likes watching them squirm and cry.
Boss. :]
FUCK THAT GUY. Andrews just HATES that guy. He's too BIG and STRONG, and something about the way he sneers and smiles and fucks gets under Andrews' skin. Not in the way his being too strong does, it's something DIFFERENT. Makes Andrews feel weird in his chest and he doesn't like it!!!!! Can't wait to pound that stupid nerd into the dirt. >:[
