𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘.
There are three sides to every story–it was the first lesson Andrés Paros Torres would learn on his path to law school. The first child of Santos and Nadia Torres was deemed to be the golden boy–to live a life of excellence, to achieve excellent things. Andrés’ life was decided for him from birth. The path his parents wrote for him would not be one of normal children at his young age. Instead of bike camp, Andrés would attend chess camp at six years old. Instead of public schools, excellence would only be taught in the classrooms of private boarding schools. And despite all the right tools at his disposal, all the endless opportunities the Torres family provided their first-born son, Andrés would inevitably become the prodigal son.
But the path was followed, step by step. After school came college and captain of the soccer team. After college came his LSATs, for which he was required to score above a 170. And finally, and most importantly, came law school. It hadn’t mattered what Andrés wanted – Santos and Nadia’s word was what would be enacted. They had never even attempted to ask their son what he was interested in. For the last thing on Andrés’ mind was being the best.
He hadn’t minded in the beginning. A young boy aiming to please his parents, that incredible smile his mother flashed with each of his achievements, the look of pride in his father’s eyes – Andrés savored every moment of it. Until that fateful day arrived, when the reality of their family was revealed with a knock at their door. He had been too young to comprehend what a half-sister meant. Had his father had an affair before his marriage, before his birth? Why was his mother so enraged when the name ‘Anissa’ was spoken?
There are three sides to every story–in this case; his mother‘s, his father’s, and his half sister’s. The truth would be convoluted somewhere in between. He’d sought out the only person he could find for the truth, his half sister. Besides, his mother had always said tu familia es para toda la vida.
From that moment forward, Andrés’ reality shifted. What was the point of achieving excellence when the Torres family lived a life of facades? The golden boy became the prodigal son. In his final years of high school, he had barely skimmed by, his father paying his way into a prestigious college. Perhaps he’d funded a library; it didn’t matter either way. Ask Andrés what he was passionate about, and the answers wouldn’t exceed partying, drugs, women, and computer science. And that was the life he lived throughout college. Surely, he’d follow in his father’s footsteps, earning that law degree that made his mother beam with pride. He’d even been chosen for an internship at the city’s most prestigious law firm. He had hoped he’d made it on his own. But his last name spoke for itself – a reference of its own.
And yet, something would continue to pull Andrés’ attention away from the golden path. Axel Throne would be released, deemed innocent of the homicide of Melody Davis. The judge who cast the decision to set an innocent man free? Santos Torres. And once again, Andrés found his reality shifting. This time, old enough, wise enough, to understand and read between the lines. There are three sides to every story–and Andrés would become obsessed with finding the truth.

If you can't find him check your local dive bars and nightclubs - he's likely bought a round for the whole bar and is on top of the bar dancing w the first person he grabbed up there with him.
Does not claim his father lol even though he's very aware his success and lifestyle is all because of him.
Very Nate Archibald -- can't get anything right and is just up in the air all the time.
doesnt take anything seriously - except partying, he takes that very seriously

Friends through family — the Torres' are one of the founding families so they'd know quite a lot of people
His clients — if your ch has ever needed a defense attorney, AP's got them covered. He's unserious but is incredible in a courtroom if he's focused
