hence the middle name) was born the son of a British businessman and his Indian personal assistant.  Or at least, so he was led to believe the first nineteen years of his life.  Andrew grew up in Calcutta, lacking nothing, with tales of King Arthur and Saint George, Rama and Arjuna as his bedtime stories.  Those stories formed the core of Andrew’s belief system – belief in the righteousness of the good, in the transcendence of justice.  It was a few days after his nineteenth birthday that he learned the truth, amidst tragedy – a gang of Titan cultists attacked the home of him, his parents, and their servants.  Only Andrew survived, and only because of the late appearance of his real father – the Hindu god Agni.<br/><br/>Agni explained that he’d come to his mother one night in his father’s shape, to father a son to fight in the war against the Titans.  All the things of Hindu mythology that he had learned growing up were now very, very real, and the whole situation explained to him in less than a night.<br/><br/>Andrew was, understandably, very upset.  But he smothered his anger for the time being, seeing as now he had a job to do.  Agni awakened the Scion’s latent power, and gave him a handful of new toys to play with – as long belated ‘birthday presents,’ so to speak.  The first was a special cell phone – Agni told him that he could use it to call from anywhere, to anywhere, as long as it was a place known by the Hindu gods; furthermore, it would never need recharging.  The second was a motorcycle – the engine had been replaced by a perpetual motion machine created by Brahma, and given special control mechanisms to help him drive it.  The third was a bullet proof vest – enchanted for ease of movement and a pinch more protection.  The fourth was a full Chaturanga set – chess pieces that Andrew could use to summon help if he ever needed it.  And the last was a prize of a mortal grandfather’s who had served in the British Army during the Axis War – a Luger pistol that needed no reloading, and had improved sights for range.<br/><br/>With that, Agni left Andrew, and the young Scion began his quest.  Joining the Indian Central Bureau of Investigations, Andrew worked with them for a couple of years before leaving (it was hard being a good cop in a system that had corruption so ingrained in it) and hitting the road to take his detective abilities from the national to the global scale.  His reputation of being the one to catch the ‘weird cases’ from CBI followed him, something that the young Scion did not mind one bit.  Although it was relaxing to catch a case from time to time that had absolutely<em>nothing </em>to do with zombies or rabid cultists taking stuff that made PCP look tame.  A year after leaving the CBI, he got another visit from Agni.<br/><br/>Over the three years since his first Visitation, Andrew’s resentment and anger at being the only one to survive because Agni was<em>late </em>had been boiling, and it finally exploded that visit.  Andrew earned the thrashing of a couple of lifetimes at the hands of his father (though Agni did nothing to directly harm him), and the god proved to be glad that his son had gotten the feelings out of his system.  Agni gave him three things that night – a pat on the back for a job well done, the aforementioned thrashing, and a host of new tools for Andrew to use.<br/><br/>Agni first upgraded Andrew’s Valkyrie Rune motorcycle – giving it special tires and trimming the weight a little.  Next came his bullet proof vest – swapping the protective plates in it for lighter ones to allow him more flexibility.  Agni also presented Andrew with new bullets for his Luger – specially designed for a little more stopping power.  Then came the new additions to Andrew’s growing arsenal.  The first was a tattoo depicting Agni as the Sacred Fire.  After that, a special bangle that allowed him to take to the air (a trick that Andrew had learned) without the usual effort.  Then came a little device that Andrew calls the Illuminator – something that helps him see through people “clear as day.”  And the piece de resistance was a keepsake of his<em>other </em>mortal grandfather, a policeman in America – a heavily modified Thompson nicknamed the Chicago Typewriter by Andrew himself.  The Typewriter featured, like the Luger, no needs for reloading and sights to improve range.  However, in addition, those same sights gave it better accuracy, and the feed mechanism had been modified for greater speed.<br/><br/>Now armed with his new tools, Andrew crisscrosses the world, much like his father.  Only, instead of delivering messages to gods, he’s delivering a message to criminals everywhere:<br/><br/><em><strong>Crime.<br/><br/>Does not.<br/><br/>Pay.</strong></em><br/><br/>Tactics/Methods:<br/>Andrew approaches his cases with a style all his own, something he developed during his time at CBI.  It’s flexible, and he will frequently shift between tricking information out of suspects and pinning them in the corner with information he’s already turned up in his investigation.  The Illuminator has helped him considerably in that regard.  He’s not above punching a bitch, either, if he needs to.<br/><br/>In combat, Andrew will hang back, using his guns at half to near-maximum range to shred opponents before they can even get to him.  He’s made almost exclusive use of the Chicago Typewriter since he’s gotten it, but he’ll switch to the Luger in extremely close quarters where the Typewriter’s size is prohibitive.  He’s developed a knack for shooting the gun out of the hand of a suspect in a critical situation, and makes use of it if he needs them alive.<br/><br/>Quotes:<br/>“Did you really expect to fool me?  I can see through you, clear as day.”<br/>“When what you want to do is what you have to do…you can hear the voice of the world.  Right, Dad?”<br/><br/>Previous Adventures:  ((If interested, please PM me or ping in the OOC thread, stating number and any further information you would like to supply.))<br/><br/><del>#1: A kidnapping in Bhopal has brought Andrew all the way across Asia.  Teaming up with [another Scion/band of Scions] who have been investigating the case from the opposite direction, they find the persons responsible (another Titan cult, no less), put a stop to their sacrificial schemes, and return the kidnappees to their rightful places.  Possible settings for this adventure are Hong Kong, Okinawa, and other major ports of the Far East.</del>(Taken by avorae)<br/><br/>#2: On vacation, Andrew gets caught up in a case involving the following: the murder of a prominent businessman in a key position in a Titan-linked corporation; a handful of hungry dead; and a pair of mysterious Scions who may not be what they seem…  This particular adventure can take place anywhere in the world.<br/><br/>#3:  Andrew is in Germany tailing a suspected cheating spouse (hey, gotta occasionally take work to pay bills, right?) late at night when suddenly a van pulls up, the door opens, and suddenly the unfortunate victim standing at the curb is pulled into the van, which speeds off into the night…leaving Andrew to wonder just what the hell happened and why a normal person like the vic got grabbed like something out of a movie.<br/><br/><del>#4:  In his native homeland, a string of recent rural disappearances lead Andrew to the possibility that the Thuggee cults of pre-British India have managed to survive…and possibly turned from their worship of Kali to darker sources…</del>(Taken by Scya)<br/><br/>#5:  Looking into a Las Vegas robbery, the good Mr. Patterson finds out that the robbery is one of several to have occurred recently on the Strip.  His investigation leads him in the direction of a Greek Scion and his small army of spartoi, whom Andrew suspects of having been corrupted…or at least, let his divine power go to his head.<br/><br/>((Any
