((Here you are.  I decided to go for something a little different as well.  Should be some stiff competition for all you young hotshots.))

[b][color=c0c0c0]In Depth Appearance:[/color][/b] Many have described Adam, upon meeting him for the first time, as a giant among men, and they cannot be blamed.  Adam is just shy of seven feet tall and three hundred pounds.  His stature is stocky, muscular but not at all without fat.  He has coarse, red-tinged brown hair, murky blue eyes, and a prodigious mustache.  Two moles appear on his forehead, right above his left eyebrow, very close together.  His eyebrows are thick and dark, his nose slightly upturned, and his chin cleft.  Adam's combat attire is baggy, dark blue pants crisscrossed with black, black steel-toed shoes with similarly colored socks, a burnt orange double-rope belt with an aluminum clasp, a nut-brown cloth fauld, and a black, loose-fitting martial arts gi with the sleeves rolled up.

[color=c0c0c0]Equipment:[/color][/b] Adam's prized weapon is the Pillar of Earth.  It is a colossal club more like a giant, rectangular bat.  Its four outward surfaces are coated with broad pyramid-shaped spikes, no more than an inch long.  The steel handle can be unlatched from the huge club part head and withdrawn to be used like a hollow metal pipe, able to be swing much faster and more precisely than the full weapon.  Not being made at a Hunter academy, this weapon has no fancy alternate modes or hidden guns.  It does, however, have a cylindrical compartment inside the head, and when a switch is flipped on the handle the top part of the club will swing open and dispense coconut-sized bombs made with dust and rocks.  A remote on Adam's person can set off the bombs' detonators individually or all at once; the trigger mechanisms' location inside the rock bombs make it very difficult for an opponent to explode the bombs prematurely.

[color=c0c0c0]Semblance:[/color][/b] Adam's semblance, called Gravity, derives from his ability to drawn friends and family close to him, thanks to his heart.  Adam can power up his own personal gravitational field, drawing things gradually toward him.  With focus, he can condense this gravity into a much stronger cone.  Aside from pulling things in, he can also use it to mess with projectiles and other things that fly through the air.  Lastly, a focused gravity cone can be 'held' to keep pulled-in objects in place, and then 'burst' to send them flying back in a desired direction.  This power enables Adam to defend against enemies with lots of projectiles and dust, who he would otherwise really struggle against.

[b][color=c0c0c0]Abilities:[/color][/b] from an early age, Adam was tough and powerful.  These traits only magnified as he grew up, and nowadays Adam sports incredible physical strength.  This being something that he's never dedicated too much time to, he spent a lot of his training as a kingdom guardian trying to improve his flexibility and mobility, and as such he's not a slouch in the running, rolling, jumping, and even flipping departments.  There might be more physically capable individuals out there, not counting those with strength-related semblances, but Adam has yet to meet them.

[b][color=c0c0c0]Personality:[/color][/b]  In many ways, Adam is larger than life.  He is confident and proud, with a substantial presence and voice, but not egotistical.  Though capable of terrifying seriousness at times, he prefers to be a jolly, good-hearted goofball, the very definition of gregarious.  Games (particularly sports), novelties, and trivialities thrill him.  Not many full-grown men spout puns, but Adam is one of them, particularly since he became a dad.  He cares deeply for his family and for his friends, extending his remarkable protective instincts to them.  Despite this, classifying Adam as some sort of hero would be a mistake.  What Adam believes in gives him the courage to fight like a man and a soldier, but not necessarily like a Hunter.  Adam hates to be upset, but if something provokes him, he tends to heat up quickly.  He's given to finding a routine and sticking with it, not being the most flexible.  People who disagree with him or have problems with him will be tolerated, but not accepted.  At his worst, Adam can be poorly-mannered, temperamental, and brutish.  Those who know him, however, can attest to the great size of Adam's heart, both literally and figuratively.

[b][color=c0c0c0]Place of Origin:[/color][/b] Palisade Town, Vale

[b][color=c0c0c0]History:[/color][/b] Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, son, daughter.  The Fulgurate family line, though without a drop of noble blood, grand estate, legendary heirloom, or other such prestige, boasts a certain pride.  For generations the entire clan has served, manning the distant northeastern wall of Vale as guardians of the realm.  This heritage, unceremonious as it might be, has held true across the decades, and with it a glowing and beloved statistic: no Fulgurate ever died on the job.  Into this bloodline Adamah was born in the sprawling but well-defended border town of Palisade, a settlement out in the sticks by any Vale citydweller's measure.  Bearing the typical impressive height of the Fulgurate family, as well as its typical lack of wanderlust that might otherwise send an adventurous spirit away from the walls and into the bustling heart of the kingdom, Adam nevertheless proved to be an oddity, exhibiting a quality that none of his kin could match: joy.

Adam was possessed of a contagious spirit, but one entirely jovial and gregarious.  He met his fair share of challenges on the road of life, but never despaired to find himself alone, for his friends were many.  Palisade natives, veterans of the wars, cityfolk, faunus—none were deprived of the offer of his comradeship.  Growing naturally into the role of a guardian, he became especially close with three friends, and worked alongside them tirelessly to keep their portion of the kingdom free from invasion.  However, he grew closer still to Evangeline Orinj, an immigrant to Palisade from Vale's city, having recently been kicked out of Beacon.  The two discovered that they were inseparable, and after a little more than a year of dating, they were married on a grassy hill.  They had two sons, and lived happily, if a little on the edge.

A decade passed, and much happened.  The family was struck with tragedy; the wonderful record of the Fulgurates ended.  But the family slowly recovered, and moved on as best it could.  When the announcement of the Vytal Festival reached them, Adamah rediscovered excitement.  Convincing his three warrior friends to tag along, they enlisted in the tournament as representatives of Vale, and perhaps the fighters most representative of their people of them all.

[b][color=c0c0c0]Relations with other characters:[/color][/b] His fellow guardians, Adva, Serafine, and Hevel.  All are good friends, used to cooperation, though not to the degree of a team of hunters.  He has numerous other friends, and can make them easily.  Most dear to his heart is his wife, Evangeline, a fellow kingdom guardian, and his seven-year-old son.

[b][color=c0c0c0]Extra:[/color][/b]
Like Jaune, Adam has a lot of aura.
'Adamah' is Hebrew for earth, which calls to mind the color brown.  Adva, a teammate, is water-related.  'Serafine' is Hebrew for fire, with its bright orange.  'Hevel' means a breath of air.
Adam did not, of course, receive his training from a Hunter academy, and will rely on his potent natural abilities, experience, and his powerful weapon to compensate against younger, better-trained opponents.
