Andre Samuel Drake (a.k.a. Andy or Sam)
The skiff flew swiftly over the hills, desperately weaving through the trees. " You are crazy. You know that right?" Garanthum said. As he tunes his bass guitar.
Andre laughs," You say this like it's the first time we have flown out into an area that is getting 'unsettled' and playing a show to get peoples' minds off of a fight."
A snorting chuckle answers, as Nepre says," he knows what he's doing, just be ready you go." as she twirls her drumsticks occasionally tapping them together. She leans over and whispers," You do know what you are doing?" in a dulcet tone.
Ignoring the question Andre says," We will be there in five minutes, I am about to set the pilot AI. If you have to go to the bathroom I would now."
Elini grabs her bagpipes and switches in fresh reeds," As long as Jimmy is programmed correctly this time. I don't want to bust my bag because you were letting him be too jumpy." as she gives the bag a squeeze.
Lial chitters a laugh and says," Don't worry, if you are going to fall, I will catch you." he grabs a beer from the cooler.
The skiff makes the last few miles and ascends one hundred feet. It begins projecting a hologram of the band.

Mental characteristics
Born in the city of Angsluley, Andre was frequently exposed to the concept of progress, through the careful but generous use of resources. This impressed upon him an idea. That one could best serve the world by creating something that could be shared freely but still earn value. This was the first epiphany that he came to. He asked his parents to learn about instruments, so he was enrolled in several classes to learn music composition, the guitar, trumpet, and the writing of lyrics. It was found that Andre had a talent for singing, developing his talent he began working on his path to musical fame.
As he was finishing school, he met the first member of what would become the band known as A.N.G.E.L. by chance.
Nepre Yho joined Andre's class near the end of the year, due to her family moving into the city. She joined his music class and excelled on every type of drum that she took up. Andre established a quick friendship that bloomed with the plans that they were now making. They both achieved entry into Angsluley University of the Arts. Where through the music professor they were introduced to a way to meet prospective musicians from across the world. This is how they met the final three members,
Garanthum Falbrek,
Elini Twillinetil, and
Lial Sanche. They worked together on a few songs before they first decided to meet.
As they settled into a rutine practicing and working some small gigs they started to work out the final touches on their act. Andre decided that before they started to look for more major shows, he would visit the temple of
Braedona Goddess of wealth and hope to seek a blessing for this endeavor and meet an angelic muse perhaps. Andre met a Muse and was given a moment of inspiration, finding a name for the band in the process. Thus
A.N.G.E.L. was finally named.
The first major show they participated in was a battle of the bands in which Andre's exceptional vocal gained particular note.
Some college education focused on music composition and instrument mastery.
Small-time gigs in bars and at fairs until he struck it big with his band.
Has played concerts in every nation's capital despite the cold war that has held the world in a stalemate.
Has written over one hundred fifty songs and composed two hundred over the last thirty-five years.
Has seven legitimate children.
divorced three times.
Has several illegitimate children, though none conceived while married.
Very aware of his limitations and specializations, he is willing to reach out for help if it is needed.
If you have the means you are morally obligated to assist people in need. If you have the qualities to seek greater means but don't, you are part of the problem.
Does not drink the day of a performance.

All creative acts, be it in writing, sculpting, painting, or playing music is an act of worship to the mother of inspiration
Tiania . You should attempt to be creative every day, and inspiring others to be creative is the greatest act of worship.
Andre is a man who leaves an impression in any room long after he has left it. He has used this to put together quite the network of spies and informants in every country. He uses them to identify areas where increased unrest and military activity and attempt to interfere. Thus far it has worked, and the battles have been averted. This is partly due to the reluctance to actually initiate the conflict, and the risk of forcing the druidic orders into action. Putting on a show to distract them often has the forces pull back, or calms the populace.
Has a
Pipefox named Celia that spends much of his time fliting around while Andre practices his art.

Nice read. Actually quite an interesting story how they came up with the name of the band itself. "Has several illegitimate children", very bardlike indeed :p
