Storyline

András Géza Velencei is one of the main characters and the central protagonist of Noble Dog. András was Geza III and Beleknegini's second born son, after Sesztak I. In the beginning when András was born, as the second born son, he was not the inheritor of the throne and was instead sent away to live with monks under orders of Geza III. He lived with Clarence and Father Marfi in the Abbey of Velencei Nemj. Geza and Beleknegini only sought to foster and care for their firstborn son, Sesztak. After the deaths of his aunt and uncle Rozina I and Kalman I, Geza III was coronated and as a result András was given the title of Alispan of Velencei Nemj at the age of 15. Soon after Geza's coronation as the Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei, Sesztak died of disease at 19. While this made András the heir apparant, Geza III and Beleknegini did not intend to allow him to become the next in line.

At the time of the story's beginning, András is a young teenager at 17 as the Alispan of Velencei Nemj. He did not take any real administration role in running Velencei Nemj. He is given the vision of his ancestor, Almo I, an ancestor that lived the Proto-Imperial Era. He created a reliquary, the Reliquary of Almo, which he entrusted to the Bystriki Monks who would protect the Reliquary in Velencei Nemj. When Almo I appears as a visage to Andras, he believes it is something that Father Marfi knows about. When Marfi informs Andras about the Reliquary, Andras sets out to find out about the missing pieces of it. Unbeknownst to him, his journey would entangle him in the power struggle between the Erdosi and the Redicsi, the Noble Dance Massacre, and the eventual Civil War of the Three. Searching for blood vial of the Prophet Dezső of Knowledge, he finds himself dragged into the complicated world that is the Empire.

Physical Traits & Appearance

András is a teenage male Erdosi, about 17 years old at the time of the story's beginning. He stands at about 5'11". Almost his entire heritage and physical appearance is direct from his patrilineal heritage of Velencei Males. He is however, the only one with his color pattern, where his colors are split perfectly half-and-half. He has the Lambda of the Velencei on his forehead, with the Three Dots of Knowledge on his head. His eyes are a shade of deep blue, one of the few traits that he retained from Beleknegini.

András wears typical clothing for an Imperial Nemesseg. His clothing is more open and is a shade of blue. Going down to the bottom of his coat is seafoam green. As his rank is an Alispan, he wears a single tall plum pinned to his hat with a silver emblem of the Lambda of Velencei. His hat is a deep brown fur with golden accents. He has a Noble Strap that is a dark shade of teal and has a a golden accent. Hanging from his noble strap is his Erdosi Longsword, which is a Khanda. He also wears brown pants with very dark purple leg dressings.

András often wears the typical set of clothing for a Nemesség of his ranking, that being of an Alispán. As an Alispán, he wears a single plum on the top of his hat that is pinned down by a silver emblem of the Lambda of Velencei. His blue and seafoam green clothing has a deep blue outline. His fur hat is a deep rich brown fur color. His standard dressing when with royalty includes a black cape, but the majority of the time he does not wear the cape. His strap is teal with a golden pattern on it.

Relationships

Clarence [Positive]: Andrew and Clarence share a close male bond that is obfuscated by their differences in rank and race. The two have a semi-brotherly relationship, with Clarence acting as the older brother and in turn, Andrew acting as the younger brother. Clarence is shown to be caring and protective of Andrew, while Andrew is shown to be trusting towards Clarence. Often times Clarence will be shown to be more strict and uptight with people who approach Andrew, taking insult to others who lack respect towards Andrew. In the few moments that Clarence and Andrew are apart, Andrew tends to shut down and become more withdrawn which is shown through his body language and voice volume. Without Clarence, Andrew will often hang his head and begin to decrease his volume to the point of mumbles. Clarence, on the other hand, will not suffer any issue. However, because Andrew is the only one who can fully interpret Clarence, Andrew not being there renders Clarence limited to body language alone.

Géza III [Negative]: Géza is neglectful and unloving of his second son. He views Andrew as the overshadowed failure of his older brother, Sesztek I. After Andrew's birth, Geza spared no expense to relieve himself and his wife Beleknegini of any responsibility in the care of Andrew. As a result, Andrew doesn't see Geza as a father but a distant family member. He was sent to live under the care of Father Marfi, who had then taken in a young abandoned calf named Clarence. When Sesztek I died, Geza reluctantly elevated his son to Sesztek's position as the Alispan of Velencei Nemj. Andrew's appearance in Esztergom while trying to find the missing relics of Almo I's Reliquary displeased Geza. After his appearance in Esztergom and his march into the Estates of Gesta, Geza since then views Andrew as a potential claimant to his power.

Beleknegini [Negative]: Beleknegini is an almost carbon copy of Geza in Andrew's eyes. Unloving and neglectful in favor of his eldest brother, Beleknegini did not hesitate on sending Andrew away to Father Marfi. Andrew does not see Beleknegini as a mother but rather a family member. Due to her difference in race as a Komondor married to a Erdos nobleman, Andrew is often confused by Beleknegini's inclusion as a family member.

Sesztek [Complicated]: Sesztek is unlike Geza and Beleknegini in that he was one of the few members to unconditionally love András as a brother. Their relationship was mostly alienated when András was sent to live with Clarence within the Abbot Upon Velencei Nemtujvar under the supervision of Father Marfi. Sesztek rarely saw András or any of his other siblings afterwards.

Kallisztó [Positive]:

Distorted Dimension

During the progression of his journey, András develops the ability to begin lucid dreaming. He eventually is able to see and enter a phenomenon he called, The Distorted Dimension. What the Distorted Dimension actually is, is unknown. Andrew believes it to be another world in his mind that reflects the state of his world and the events that may come up. András is the only one in the story who can access the Distorted Dimension, but the majority of his crew is aware of what it is. He can only enter the Distorted Dimension in his sleep. He is able to control certain variables and create almost simulations of the world. Sometimes, he is able to see certain situations in the future, though how true to detail these situations are is unknown.

The Distorted Dimension is damaging towards András's mental health and pysche. This is evidenced by the fact that the more time he spends within the Distorted Dimension, the more twisted characters become with their personalities and the way they act. When András sleeps for an extended period of time and spends too much time within said Dimension, he will eventually portray his own self-doubts and problems on other characters who will reinforce it. Alongside this problem, András cannot interpret simulations more than once per time. The more that he creates within the Dimension, the more strain is put on his mental health. This is mostly seen when characters that are created, such as Clarence and the group, will begin to either attack or act hostile to András's presence.

The Distorted Dimension is almost completely evil purple and has a purple hue to it. All characters themselves have purple hues to their skin and fur alongside their clothing. Their eyes change to a single color, typically a bright yellow color with visible mist that is visible through reflection. Characters will change eye colors from yellow to red when Andrew portrays his self-doubt and problems on other characters.

The Distorted Dimension sometimes acts a herald of good or bad situations and outcomes, other times it portrays inevitabilities that are to come to András. Othertimes it comes as a nightmare to András, creating fictional scenarios that were never meant to happen. The Distorted Dimension's existence of great intrigue to Kallisztó and Mátyás, who wish to hear more of the Distorted Dimension.
