|{Hobbies || Talents}|
Dreus has always been a piano player, since as long as he can remember, and he is quite good at it, often being asked to play at the Museum, Cabaret, or Pub. He also enjoys playing fútbol with his friends in the field near his apartment building. Dreus can speak Greek, he taught himself, and Spanish. He is trying to learn German, and is interested in learning other languages as well.
|{Fears || Weaknesses}|
He mainly fears laboratories, because of his past, but he also isn't too fond of the dark or uncleanliness. In fact, he has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. As well as those regular weaknesses, Dreus becomes very tired after using his clairempathy, often times nearly passing out. Also, if the feelings or emotions of the thing he is finding are very strong, then Dreus may begin to feel that way too, which can be dangerous and overwhelming in some situations.
|{Secrets}|
No one knows this, but Andreus was used as testing for the Miracle Pill against his will, when he was a young teen. He still has scars on his arms from IV's and shots, and scars around his wrists and ankles from metal rings that held him down. He doesn't like laboratories, scientists, or many medicines for this reason.

Andreus has a generally friendly resting face, which is lucky, since he is one of the nicest and most charismatic people you will ever meet. He feels that it is easier to be a constantly positive and happy person instead of being pessimistic. He is always going out of his way to help others, making him late for work often, but he isn't fired only because he is so apologetic and good at what he does. Dreus is great with children, and adults, and he loves interacting with people, although it often makes him tired. He is talkative, especially when it comes to things that he loves, and he loves to listen when people are passionate about their own topic.
He is very organized and must have things clean because of his OCD, so his room and desk are nearly spotless, and he tries to keep the orphanage as clean as he can. Andreus takes his friends very seriously, and treats them like family, which is endearing since he has none. He is intelligent, extremely so, and he takes to languages very quickly. He loves history and artifacts, and loves to share information about things that he knows. Because of his power, he is empathetic, and good at comforting others. In every sense of the words: he is a people person.
Dreus hates being late to things, it makes him nervous, but he ends up being late most of the time anyway because he stops and has conversations with people. He stops for coffee everyday before work, and is a naturally energetic person, though he does get tired after long days. He spends his free time outside or playing music, and loves to watch people be happy.
Andreus grew up in an orphanage in the darkest of places in the Orphic area, near Alterist ground. It wasn't a terrible childhood, other than the sinking feeling that he had been left behind by parents who could potentially still be living. His caretaker was an old woman named Cleo, who gave him the patron God and middle name Apollo, who he has always looked up to as inspiration. Cleo did the best she could to take care of the several children in her small orphanage, and Dreus, as the oldest, found himself constantly helping out, learning how to work with other people and at the same time, growing up. When he was home, Cleo taught him Ancient Greek classics and her native language of Spanish. Those in the orphanage are his family, and he rarely thinks about his biological family anymore, and instead cares for the orphanage kids and thanks Apollo for the luck he has experienced.
He spent most of his childhood outside, and learning from the society around him, after learning how to read and write in the orphanage since there wasn't enough money or time for school. As Dreus grew, he learned more and more about the history and conflicts in Atlantis, and went to study them further in secondary school. He studied for two years, and then, due to hardships at the orphanage, had to return and care for both Cleo and the other kids. When he returned he found that many of the children had been forcefully taken for testing by reckless Alterist scientists, and in going to save them, he was taken as well. Andreus was 15 when they began testing on him, and all of the other children were younger. As he was the last to be released to to his own haggling, he was 16 and a half when he could finally return to 'normal' life. Afterwards Andreus spent all of the free time that he could manage at the museum, and knows the whole place like the back of his hand because he studied each piece in depth. When he got the job there, he was ecstatic, and spends as much time as he can in the museum and curation rooms, often helping and teaching people. His life has changed since that job and he still thinks that he learns more every day than he did in school.
The rest of the time, he goes home to the orphanage, where he is still the oldest but some of the other teens take over for him in the daytime. Andreus has a very busy schedule, full of people past and present, and as times are changing, so is his life. Because he grew up underprivileged, Dreus had always had an appreciation for the small things in life, and his addictive personality helps him spread his joy with others. He wants to keep up with the Orphic ways in which he was taught, even after capture, and he hopes that the scientist will realize their wrongs, although he is biased against them.
