Name: J. "Cutter" Andrews
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Rank: Honour Blade
Appearance: Short, slicked-back black hair, medium/dark brown feathers, medium
height, and blue eyes. Lopsided, rougish smile that makes him very popular
with the women. He walks with a slight swagger, is always relaxed, looks
like he doesn't have a care in the world.
Attire: Black jeans, black belt with a gold buckle, black turtleneck, brown
loafers. On the job, he wears the standard black bodysuit, as well as a dark
visor. He also wears a thin gold chain around his neck, which most believe
belonged to his mother.
Weaponary: Red saber with gold highlights, palm-top computer w/various connection
jacks/wires, electronic/mechanical lockpicks, military-style pucklauncher.
Accent: Faintly Scottish
Personality: Cutter's attitude isn't really joking so much as carefree. He
seems to see a lot of the world in black and white, and has a tendency to
oversimplify complex problems. At least at first glance. In reality he has
an excellent eye for solving problems. He's extremely intelligent, bordering
on genius. He's also very charismatic, sociable and a bit of a lady's man.
Cutter somehow manages to pull off an attitude that is cocky but not pretentious;
he's generally well-liked by everyone. Confindent and self-assured, he doesn't
often seek the approval of others. He can be very dashing when he tries,
which isn't often, since he rarely bothers to expend the effort. He rarely
needs to. Cutter spends a lot of time in his workshop, inventing, improving,
and jewel-cutting. His nickname has a kind of double meaning; if a jewel
needs to be recut before it can be sold, or to improve its worth, Cutter
is the drake to go to. 'Cutter' is also slang for a hacker/codebreaker. Behind
the doors of his workshop, he's very professional, even serious (gasp). The
attitude disappears, and he's much less easygoing, though he's never harsh
or rude. Jewel-cutting is more a necessary hobby than his main work. He's
an encryption expert, a computer whiz, a mechanical genius, and an inventor.
He picks up skills quickly when he applies himself, but he is often more
interested in enjoying his freedom than working. When something catches his
interest, he persues it relentlessly until he's in full command of it. If
he's not interested, you might as well try to teach a Pack to use a saber.
Cutter lives by his own priorities. Friendship is high on his list, but he
decided long ago he would not live to please other people. His basic philosophy
is: be yourself at all costs. If it's not important to you, don't mess with
it. If it is, don't let it go. As usual, it is a simple solution to a complex
problem, but somehow he makes it work.
History: J. Andrews grew up in a fairly well off but oppressive family. His
father had plans for him, and pushed him into accelerated military-intelligence
schools. All this might have been fine with him, if it hadn't been for the
pressure that was constantly applied to him, and the assumption that he would
follow the career path his father chose for him. He wasn't given the freedom
to persue what he enjoyed, or to persue much of anything at all beyond his
studies. One night, when J. was in his mid-teens, he quietly blew the security
system, robbed his own home of everything he could convieniantly carry or
sell, and left. J. loved his parents, but he had ultmately decided that he
couldn't please them, and that he'd only make them all miserable trying.
He's never looked back, and swears he doesn't regret his decision.
Cutter worked independently for a few months on the streets, drifting between
groups in the underground market. It was difficult for him to be taken seriously
at his age, but one quick free sample was usually enough to convince people
that he knew what he was talking about. One quick brawl was usually enough
to convince them that he wasn't to be taken advantage of. At fifteen, he
was approached by Brotherhood recruiters. The lifestyle appealed to him,
and he joined. His aptitude and skills with electronics quickly got him a
mentor. Cutter was made an Honor Blade shortly before the Saurian attack.
His mentor was killed during the fight at the old base.
Likes: Living by his own rules, being with people, having a good time.
Dislikes: Idiots, morons, air heads, people with no common sense.
Overheard:
---"Brains over brawn is for wimps and nerds. A real man ought to be able
to use both."
Anon: "Hey Cutter, how come you don't tell anyone what the 'J' stands for?"
Cutter: "My parents had a sadistic streak."
