-	Erik, in a way, bears a slight resemblance to Raoul when he was Erik's age- dark brown hair and eyes that almost seem to glow with their own light. He stands at about 5'4, average for his age, but a little on the skinny side due to living on the streets.	+	Erik stands at roughly 6 foot even, with short, dark brown hair and light brown eyes. He's thin, but very well built. He's always clean shaven, and usually wears Clive Christian No. 1 as his cologne of choice.
-	Unlike most of the children of the 92050, however, Erik doesn't care much for designer labels. Sure, his closet is full of Dolce & Gabbana and Michael Kors, but he will wear whatever he feels comfortable in- often mixing high-end contemporary labels like True Religion and Rock & Republic with "mass-market" labels like Abercrombie & Fitch and Guess, topping it off with skater brands like Etnies and DC.	+	When it comes to clothing, Erik is an Amherst to the N'th degree. Gieves & Hawkes for anything custom tailored, the best of Paris and Milan for the rest. He wears business suits normally, trading in the jacket for a white lab coat during work hours. Though he does know how to dress down when the occasion arises.
		+
		+	With a suit, Erik always wears a diamond encrusted pin of the Amherst International logo- an eagle perched atop a laurel wreath with an 'A' inside.

-	Erik is the eternal optimist. He always tries to see the best in people, even the people on the street. He's very trusting, and would never write off someone as "completely evil." Around those above him (i.e. teachers, elders, politicians, people his dad works with) Erik is sweet, polite, and is the perfect child. He knows when to draw attention to himself and when to "stay in the background."	+	Erik is constantly thinking and analyzing. Whenever faced with a situation, he will stop and think out all possible outcomes before making even the smallest decision. He is always very cautious when making these decisions, and knows the difference between having a lot of something and having too much of it.
-	Around his friends he's a little more laid back, cracking jokes here and there, but is still often regarded as the "cute, shy one."	+	Unlike his younger cousin Raoul, Erik does not question the path that was chosen for him by his family. He knows deep down that they chose the path because they know that it is the best way to make use of his natural talents and abilities. The family is only looking out for his well being, and would never steer him wrong.
-	However, he is a member of one of the wealthiest families in not only Triton, but in the world, and he knows it. Just as he can be a polite, caring child, he can be an arrogant, pompous, self-centered one as well.	+	He also shares the traits common in all Amherst's- the zeal to push past anyone and anything that gets in his way of achieving his goal, and the general disdain for the Nouveau riche.

-	Erik was born as the youngest son to Jacob and Rebecca Montgomery. Jacob worked as a lowly paper pusher, while Rebecca stayed at home to care for their 2 children on Jacob's meager income. After office cutbacks forced Jacob to lose his job, he committed suicide by jumping off the top of their apartment building. Shortly after this Rebecca began working as a prostitute on the street to feed her 2 children and her newly acquired heroine addiction. She eventually contracted AIDS, though she didn't die from it- she died of and overdose while with one of her clients.	+	At Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, NY, Erik David Amherst was born on May 23, 1980 as the first child of Elizabeth West- a renowned Broadway actress, and Patrick Amherst- then the manager of Amherst International�s operations in Manhattan. 5 years later the Manhattan Amherst�s would receive a set of twins- Andrew and Andrea on August 25, 1985.

		+	Erik grew up in the comfortable, sheltered life of the Upper-East Side of Manhattan. They lived in the family�s sprawling 3-floor complex at 740 Park Avenue with their two dogs Dolce and Gabbana. Since Janus wasn�t an option for the children to attend, they were instead enrolled in The Hotchkiss School, an elite private boarding school in the New England area.
-	After these events, Erik and his older brother, Thomas, took to the streets to fend for themselves. They would break into homes and take whatever money was lying around, or if that wasn't an option they would break into stores and steal the food directly. One night Erik was at "home"(they had moved into an abandoned apartment building) sick, and Thomas decided to rob a nearby pharmacy for medicine, getting caught and arrested in the process. When Thomas never came home, Erik went out to search for him. That's when he ran into Raoul Amherst. (Events of http://z6.invisionfree.com/Triton_2/index.php?showtopic=877&st=0&#last)	+	{{In 1995, when Erik was 15, his father Patrick received a letter from his father Benjamin Amherst III.

-	Raoul was able to track the boy, who had run off, down. Upon hearing that Erik was orphaned and his brother's location was unknown (to Erik, at least), Raoul filled for legal guardianship and has taken him in as his own son.	+	Early into Erik's education, the family noticed his natural inclination to science and the biology field. Therefore, his "plan" included an undergrad at Princeton University, Stanford Medical School out west in California, and eventually a position with Amherst Medicine. All of which he has attained.

-	Erik can control the air. But not just wind and such, the individual molecules of oxygen and whatever gases are in the area.
