Hugo Andore // Street Fighter

Hugo Andore is a very large man. He was born in Germany and as a child developed under an extreme case of gigantism, leading to a very tall and very wide stature of almost eight feet in height (7'10"). His gigantism has continued into adulthood, and the result of this acromegaly gives him a very prominent lower jaw and brow, as well as an incredibly deep and slowed voice. He is not very bright due to an intellectual disability but does speak both German and English, and he speaks in a slight German accent. Hugo likes potatoes a lot. They remind him of his childhood. His mother used to tell him that potatoes were versatile and resilient, growing in mere soil. She told Hugo to grow big and strong like a potato, which he has seemingly taken to heart. Hugo misses his mother, who still lives in Germany after Hugo has moved to the United States. No one would hire Hugo in the States because of his lack of an education and his prominent mental and physical disabilities. Hugo used to be a member of a street gang, the Mad Gear gang. He is sometimes still reminded of his past as a criminal. Hugo is not a cruel or vicious individual and he only joined the gang because they promised that he would make his dreams of being a wrestling star come true. Hugo is submissive by nature. The Mad Gear gang owned virtually all of Metro City, the location in which Hugo lives. It was led by a corrupt businessman, and Mad Gear controlled the city from the slums to the transport to the upper-class district. They even had some police in cahoots with them, paid off to be soft on crime. Hugo even kidnapped the mayor's daughter. Hugo and Poison were part of this gang, but eventually disbanded once the corrupt leader Belger was killed. Other members of this gang included Rolento, a man in a jumpsuit with a nightstick, Sodom, an American obsessed with Japan and fought with katanas and samurai armor, and Abigail, a man even more muscled and massive than Hugo. Abigail struck fear into enemies of the Mad Gear gang, being over eight feet tall and incredibly ripped.

Hugo is incredibly muscled and his body is hyper-developed due to the extent of his condition as well as his rigorous training. He has long, curly black hair and a clean-shaven face. He has thick lips that cover his large, flat teeth. Hugo is prone to frequent muscle spasms. His body sometimes jerks in unnatural ways. He prefers to wear a pink leopard-print tank top and darker pink pants for an unknown reason. Why he likes pink is a mystery. Like many individuals with acromegaly, Hugo suffers from erectile dysfunction. The musculature of his genitals is very difficult for his brain to control, so he has a hard time "getting it up". Hugo has a chain wrapped around his waist as a decorative piece. This chain can be pulled to direct him around. He wears black studded wristbands as well, making him look like an incredibly large and muscled member of a punk band. Hugo has also cross-dressed before, wearing black high heels, lipstick, and a pink crop-top.

Hugo once had a wrestling manager and friend named Poison, who was much shorter and skinnier than him. She has pink hair and always wore crop-tops and jean shorts, which he remembers about her fondly. She was also a transgender woman, which Hugo didn't seem to mind (or perhaps he just didn't notice). It is unknown if Hugo had feelings for Poison, but she most certainly did not have feelings for him and treated him as an oaf. She scheduled his wrestling matches for him, made decisions for him, and talked on his behalf. But he must have annoyed her in some way, because she got fed up with him and left him, to his utter despair. Hugo hates being insulted, unless it is by someone he is fond of, like Poison, who regularly assured him just how stupid he was.

Hugo wants to be the "number one" wrestler in the world, and he would always say he was Poison's number one. Poison would command Hugo by the snap of her fingers, whether if it was carrying her on his shoulder or starting a fight with someone for her. Most individuals who saw the pink-haired woman knew that her behemoth was lurking somewhere nearby. Hugo always looks perpetually sad. His jaw droops down in a frown and his heavy brow obscures his eyes. Hugo lives in the large attic of an old townhouse overlooking the city. He keeps wrestling belts inside as well as memorabilia from his career as a wrestler. He also has a collection of his childhood toys (stuffed animals, a rocking horse he quickly outgrew as a boy, and a pull-along duck). Hugo has a pet scarlet macaw parrot in a large cage. Hugo can be quite affectionate, but also very childish. He sometimes doesn't know his own strength.
