History
Date of Birth: July 14th, 1974
Home: El Paso, Texas, United States
Family: Brandt and Eliza McAndrew (parents), Sally (older sister)
Awakening: Preordainment (military family, always moving and never setting roots; Dylann was born when dad at Fort Bliss; sister died drowning in a swimming pool very young; she became very independent, and Awakened when the family visited the Grand Canyon—she nearly fell over the edge, and the NDE granted her a flash of joy and excitement), 1990
Mentor: Lindsey Hamilton
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (after the Awakening, her mind was helter-skelter all over the place, which attracted the mentalist and college professor, Dr. Hamilton, who was also a member of the Seekers; she convinced the parents to let her act as the teen's tutor, and helped Dylann rein in her newfound intense and earnest excitement living in the world)
Comrades: Lindsey Hamilton, Merritt Janx, Louis Fargo, Wah Tan Nee, Max Cross
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (finished college and became an archaeologist; her magick didn't grow very much while she focused on her PhD)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (she especially explored Greek ruins throughout the Mediterranean, but secretly also sought cthonic connections to the Cult of Ecstasy; she met Max among such ruins)
Key Event #3: Awe & Wonder (Dylann worked with Max to explore sites all over the world, though they did specialize in and focus on the Mediterranean)
Key Event #4: Awe & Wonder (she was the invited to join an Ethernaut voyage to explore the universe beyond as a xenoarchaeologist; she leapt at the opportunity and over a few years saw many wonderful and terrible things, and ultimately the Arts she'd developed and the wit that long kept the adventurous Seeker alive let her help the crew and craft escape some of the horrors of the void)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (the Ethernaut tour ended and she made her way back to Max, ready for a long sabbatical, even as she paved her way to at last gain tenure at a respectable university)
Exigent Depot (Sanctum)
Location: Kansas City, Missouri, United States
Structure: Bunker
Stock: Survival and camping equipment, tomes and maps
Traits: Arcane 3
Significant Other
Name: Max Cross; 2004

Max
Weakness
Reckless Heart
Dylann's a Seeker through and through. Like Lara Croft, she'd merrily swing into action through a dank and frightening ruin, even if it happens to be an ancient and cursed Nephandic tomb.
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
She's got a good head on her but she's been frequently exposed to dark forces and continues to risk such exposure through her adventures and exploration.
