Appearance: Adam is tall and lean, standing at about 5'10". His face is round, and a bit boyish, with a small nose, and large, expressive almond shaped eyes, which are a light shade of green. He keeps his short red hair spiky using a good amount of hair gel. Only enough to keep it's shape, but not so much that any girl who may want to run their fingers through his hair hurt themselves. He was born with lightly tanned skin. Not pale, but not bronzed either, that is maintained by spending a lot of time outside in the tropical Hoenn sun (Where he was originally from.) He is an athletic boy, and is in good shape. He has a toned, athletic physique, that he got from years of training and being active. He is quite proud of this, and likes to show it off by wearing tight tank tops a lot. Apart from on top of his head and eyebrows, he has no hair on his upper body or face.
Adam has simple tastes when it comes to clothes. He wears what is comfortable, and prefers things that are easy to move around in. He often just pulls something random out of the closet, and wears that. His favorite color is red, and is often covered in that color from head to toe. His usual outfit consists of a red form-fitting tank top that shows off his physique. The top is designed with a black sun in the chest, and the rays going outward. On the bottom he wears a pair of red cargo shorts, which are held up by a red belt. On his feet, he wears a pair of red sandals. He has a red headband around his forehead. He thinks it looks cool, and it also absorbs sweat so it keeps him cool on hot days. A pair of sunglasses with red frames can usually be seen over his eyes, which he wears simply because he thinks they look cool. He carries his things in a simple red backpack.
Personality: Adam is a rash, hotheaded young man who has trouble sitting still. He prefers to actually do things, as opposed to sitting there reading about other people doing things. (Although, thanks to a certain cartoon character, he knows better than to make fun of people who like to read.) He is brave, sometimes recklessly so, and he enjoys the outdoors and physical activities, he is also physically strong because of those activities. Adam is the type of guy that likes to shoot first, and ask questions later. Often immature and mischievous, he disregards rules, and can often be a troublemaker. He can also be very blunt, and isn't one to sugarcoat things, which usually ends up offending people. When it comes to voicing his opinions, he's not exactly the most polite person, often speaking his mind and never hesitating to shoot down anyone for any number of reasons. He has no problems breaking the rules in order to get things done. Despite his lean appearance, Adam has a big appetite, and he likes to eat a a lot. He's not picky, about the foods he eats, and is willing to try anything once. He's not picky, about the foods he eats, and is willing to try anything once. He is lucky enough to have a high metabolism so that he doesn't get chubby easily, plus he excercises a lot anyway. He's very competitive, and hates to lose. He is not afraid to resort to dirty tactics if it means a victory. He is an arrogant winner, as well as a sore loser. Often coming to blows with people he has lost to.
At times, he is lazy, and he often procrastinates to get work done. Despite this, he is very stubborn, and once he's set his mind on something, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. He is very confident in himself. He thinks he is awesome, and he likes to show off his strength. So much so, that he often comes across as arrogant, he has a tendency to brag about his accomplishments, and he often underestimates others and overestimates himself. It is not difficult to get him mad, and he will not hesitate to hurt people verbally and/or physically if he is provoked enough. If one is patient with him, and he comes to respect someone, they will find he is one of the most loyal friend you could ever ask for. He will stick by you, and defend you no matter what. Although, he will still laugh at you if you did something stupid.
He is a big flirt, and he frequently hits on girls he finds attractive, usually with poor results. It hasn't stopped him from trying, though. He also likes playing games, and he can often be found at the game arcades and casinos spending a lot of money to play. Besides playing in the casinos, his favorite pastimes are playing any kind of sport that lets him show off, and winning. He is a nicknamer, and he often gives nicknames to new people he meets. Despite all the chaos that's going on, Adam still tries to keep an optimistic attitude. After all, being angsty all the time isn't going to accomplish anything. He can't stand loner type guys who appear stoic and emotionless, who think they're so cool because they're angsting all the time. He purposefully tries to irritate these kinds of people when he meets them, to get a reaction out of them. All in all, though hotblooded, Adam is a kind hearted, cheerful boy, and he's a loyal friend to those willing to put up with his antics.
History: Adam was originally born in Lillycove City Hoenn. He grew up as the only child of a wealthy family. His parents are successful Pokemon trainers, who caught a lot of Pokemon in their youth. They have since retired from Pokémon training to focus their attention on managing the many businesses they own or co-own in the city. As a child, Adam grew up around all these Pokemon, and considers them like brothers and sisters. It was from his parents, that he recieved his first Pokemon, a Gible he named Jaws. Adam's ultimate goal in life in was to become better trainers than his parents were. He often randomly challenged kids with his Gible, and often lost because he didn't know the first thing about Pokemon. It didn't deter him, he continued beating up wild Zigzagoons, Tailows, and Zubats as practice. Adam led a relatively simple life, but he was happy.
At ten years old, Adam had plans to go on a Pokemon Journey, and take the Pokemon League Challenge. However, just as he was set to leave with his Gible, his parents revealed they had other ideas. They moved to the Sinnoh region, and took Adam with them. This disapointed Adam greatly. He had friends in Hoenn that he had to leave behind. Plus, he missed having the beach in close proximity, and he hated how cold Sinnoh was compared to Hoenn.
His parents thought it best the boy attend trainer's school first, and not run around the region freely at such a young age, lest he cause trouble. They also thought being in a more structured environment would be good for their son, as they hoped it would calm him down a bit. This only made Adam even more upset. He had to go to some prissy school instead of training Pokemon like he wanted, so he had to put his plans on hold until he graduated. He still wouldn't go quietly, and made his dislike of going to school quite clear by rebelling. Hopefully then the person running the school would get sick of him, and kick him out so he could travel like normal kids were supposed to do.
His parents were able to enroll him in an elite Private School, that had very high standards for their students. When he first started attending, Adam was a troublesome student. Aside from sports, and practical battling classes, academics were not his forte. He didn't get good grades, he often got into trouble with his teachers for speaking his mind more than he should, and his parents got a lot of complaints about his behavior which caused them quite a bit of concern. He didn't get along well with the other students in this new school. They thought he was a low class jerk who didn't belong there, and Adam couldn't stand their snobbish attitudes. He occasionally got into fistfights with other students when he was provoked. Adam would have been expelled were it not for his parents wealth and influence.
After being there for a few years, Adam eventually accepted that he was going to be stuck there until he graduated and no amount of rebeling was going to get him out. Most of the other students thought he wouldn't get very far in life, and Adam was determined to prove them wrong. He started studying, and doing much better in his classes. However, his behavior still hadn't changed. He still got into trouble frequently for talking back to his teachers (or flirting with the pretty female substitutes they sometimes brought in,) and getting into fights with other students. Despite everything, he barely managed to graduate from school, and he was given a Chimchar and his trainer's license for his trouble. With that out of the way, now Adam could finally take that journey he wanted to take. He decided to leave Sinnoh behind, and travel around the world, which is why he's in Kalos now.
