OVERALL PERSONALITY: Adam is the typical (almost) shy awkward teen... he will not go out of his way to be noticed, nor to stay hidden. He likes to live in a fantasy world some of the time, making him seem dazey... Having grown up with a single step-mother, Adam is somewhat more sensitive than other "blokes", and as such, tends to end up being the shoulder to cry on (especially of the girls he shows interest in), the confedant, etc. He has been known to experiment/dabble in dungeons and dragons, World of Warcraft, and other fantastical games of the like, in order to deepen his fantasy living experience. His desire to live in a fantasy comes from the tragedy surrounding his childhood, and the tough time he had adjusting to changing circumstances.
In a complete contrast to the seemingly dazed, dreamy teen, Adam must have order. Anything that can be organised and structured, will be... he hates not having control. It is possible this stems from the uncontrollability of his childhood and an ingrained desire to have some form of control over his life... thus he gets extremely frustrated when things don't go to plan... Adam gave up a long time ago on trying to have good friends, social outings, anything that could result in chaos, to save himself the frustration... thus he has the air of an outsider...
Adam is non-confrontational by nature, but when back into a corner, he can be extremely aggressive... in fact, that's something relevant to a dark secret he has in his past... but that's for later...the history books
AUGMENTATION: Summoning, Level 2 - The first manifestation of his power showed he has the ability to summon anything into existence, and subsequently unsummon such things... his power is strongly tied to his emotions, thus when he loses emotional control, he loses control over his power.
FAMILY: Mother- Sarah Mendhel (deceased)
Father- Jason Richardson (status unknown- assumed deceased)
Step-mother- Rachel Richardson (current guardian)
HISTORY: Adam Richardson was born 18/08/90 in an unknown private hospital to parents Sarah Mendhel and Jason Richardson. His childhood was not a happy one, his mother dying when he was five. At the age of eight, his father married Adam's step-mother and current guardian, Rachel Richardson. Adam's father dissapeared in August of '99, throwing Adam further into emotional duress. When he was ten, an incident with his babysitter resulted in his discovery of his power, the scar on his arm, and a dark secret he is forced to conceal to this day...
Since then he has moved multiple times with his step-mother, finally having settled for about two years in Primrose Hills, where they currently reside.
Adam attends the local high school, acheives a B average. It is said that if he applied himself more, he could do better, but he is preoccupied with escaping reality. He has an inactive social life, very few friends, and has been known in the past to hang out in the library, or behind buildings... generally away from crowds.
He has been playing guitar since he was eight, taking it up as his first effort to distract himself from the harsh reality of his life. Since then, his music has grown to include the piano, drums, bass, and several percussion instruments.
Adam has also developed an ability with technology/computers, and is very computer literate, having built his own computer, and occasionally doing so for others... this earns him a little cash on the side.
When he moved to Primrose Hills, he applied for jobs at most of the stores in the area, finally being offered a part-time job at Beck's, a privately owned clothing store. He has been working there for 18 months and keeps his head down, does his work, and remains unnoticed.
He has developed an active fantasy life, which he uses as an escape from the stresses of life.
