Family: Churchill (Adopted Son; Alive) - The real reason your'e here!;
Distinguishing Features: Large fangs made out of granite
Beer gut
Blue Skin
Odd Tidbits
Unable to get drunk, but drinks like fish
Has compulsion to be a good host
Can not hurt any one who calls him "father"
Can't drink straight water
Can harvest and manipulate Glamour, or the natural beauty of the world
Can literally eat or drink any thing with no ill effect
REALLY strong.
Four-to-Five Word Personality: Quiet, gruff, generous, jaded, shy
Personality: Andy is a 30-something year old Ogre with very little in the way of social skills. Quiet and attempts to be as distant as possible for his own protection, he's unfortunately a true bleeding heart who'll give free coffee or snacks to any one with a sob story. While as a creature of Fae lore he has some compulsions he can't control and some strange allergies, he seems to enjoy the mundane of the world more than most. He's constantly afraid he'll lose control and go on a trademark Ogre rampage, but he takes pills for that.
Fears: Faeries (not the Disney kind or those other kind), Ants, hurting some one he cares about, losing control
Issues: He had control issues, and the fact he can eat any thing usually proves to be a problem
Aspirations: Make the best cup of coffee ever, raise Churchill to be a decent human being
Short-term Goals: Meet people in Gaia
Long-term Goals: Raise Churchill, be a decent father,
Hobbies: Cooking, baking, wood carving

Movies: Labyrinth, A Clockwork Orange
TV Shows: Lie to Me
Games: Drinking games
Colors: Black, Brown, Blue
People: Churchill, Savannah (the barista at his Cafe)

TV Shows: The Incredible Hercules (show's racist against Ogres)
Games: Most video games
Colors: Pastels
People: None, really
Animals: Ants, Roaches
Drinks: Water
Foods: Celery
History: While his childhood is kind of a vague blur, this Ogre knows he was born to two Ogres and had a bad experience with Faeries at a young age that gave him his fangs. Eventually moving out of Arcadia to the land of Gaia, Andy put to work his natural cooking abilities and his pension for absorbing human glamour by setting up shop in Durem.

"No!" Church said stubbornly, clinging to the book tightly as not to let his mean daddy take it away. He was THIS close to finishing it, too!
"Grrr, Church, you've been at it for three hours, it's time for dinner. NOW." Andy said authoritatively. He hated raising his voice at Church but the boy could just be so stubborn some times.
"But I wanna learn my ABCs! You said it was important!"
"I know I sai-"
"You also said if I didn't I'd grow up to be an...An...An illustrated bum!"
"I said an illiterate bum, Church...Look, you already know your ABCs and don't even know it." The Ogre said with a gentle smirk. It was true. Three hours ago he sat down with Church with the aptly named I Can Read! and worked on them for an hour and a half...But once Andy figured they'd cover enough, Church nearly pitched a fit, kind of how he was now. So Andy left him alone to make dinner, and now Andy could see that the book was already colored and scribbled in and had the whole alphabet written on it's blank back in blue crayon.
"No I don't!"
"What comes after C?"
"D!"
"And after F?"
"G! Daddy, I know thaaaaatt!"
"Gotcha."
Church opened his mouth to protest...But he knew he'd been bested. With a pout he handed his book back to his Daddy, who smiled and ruffed his boy's hair, picking him up with his free arm and carrying him to the dinner table. Ah well, maybe a meatloaf each would ease the war between the generations.

A Journal Entry from Andy Granitefang's rarely updated journal...
I'm a Dad. How the hell did that happen? I'm a Dad. He's not mine, not biologically at least. I mean, he could be. Sorta. We're built the same, and he's able to eat as much as I am, and we both kind of have the whole fang thing going on, but really, he's not mine. Biologically. I don't know why they trusted me with this. I wouldn't trust an Ogre with this, at least.
I brought him home a few months ago. He took to it like a fish to water, and I guess I sorta did too. Maybe. I don't know. I don't feel as monstrous having a kid like him around. I feel...I dunno, like a decent person, mythical or not. I hope he doesn't hate his name. I like stories about World War 2, really...Which is kind of a silly reason to name him that. I really hope he doesn't hate his name when he's older.
I'm maybe too lenient...Or maybe I'm too harsh? I don't know. I wouldn't trust an Ogre with this. If I had any one to talk to I'd probably ask 'em if this was a normal feeling as a new parent. I still wouldn't trust an Ogre with this.
He calls me Daddy. I feel sorta like I melted a bit, but in a good way. He's supposedly a combination of the Sin of Gluttony (which means we'll have the same vice...Poor kid doesn't stand a chance...) and the Virtue of Diligence...It shows, really. The kid eats almost as much as me. Might be able to out-eat me when he gets older. But I noticed he never seems to give up, ever. Even at a young age.
If I ever let him read this, I want him to know: No matter what happens between now and when he's older and I'm graying and all that good old person s**t? I'm proud of him. I love the little squirt.

It would be on a Saturday that you open your mail box (if you have one) and notice there is a rather thick envelope stuffed in there. There is no postage stamp and a very vague return address. But you recognize the font and the company's name. 'Seven of Seven Inc' scrawled in majestic font across the upper left hand corner. As you open it, you may strangely find yourself drawn to the letter, there is a mass of notes inside. They read as follows:
Letter Congratulations! You have managed to succeed in raising your child. (IE: Not killing him or her or getting killed yourself. Haha we kid of course.) We would like an update from you on the following: Guardians Name: Child's Name: Sin: Virtue: Gender: Current Attitude: Likes: Dislikes: Any abnormal growths: (if any, example: Feathers molting, horns growing larger, scars ) Current hair style: Current clothing preferences: Dominant celestial trait: (The sin or virtue) Please summarize in your own words how difficult or easy it was taking care of your child. Did you manage to care for them in a kindly fashion? Or were you forced to discipline them? As well do not be alarmed if you suddenly find your child achieving a massive growth spurt in the next little while. We are finding that the children from our facility have strange growing patterns and are rather unpredictable. Although please let us know if anything unexpected occurs. Sincerely the technicians from Seven of Seven Inc. Ps. Please just leave your letter back in your mail box one you have completed it our courier will pick it up. Thank you.
You would notice the letter seems overly friendly...strange since the scientist were so ...cold before.
(Just take the from Guardians name to Dominant Celestial trait and pm it to the mule, the summarization doesn't have to be long just have fun with it.)
