Sorority: N/A

Part/Full Time Job: Barista at Cipher Cafe. Adrian works the afternoon shift.

Appearance: At a glance, Adrian is a..strange subject. For one, nobody seems to be capable of judging his gender with any kind of agreement. Some people will look at Adrian and see a young woman, while others can look at him and see him for the young man that he really is. And yet, these two sides never seem to agree.

Of course, the reason for this disagreement is understandable. Adrian did inherit his mother's bone structure to a degree, and has a body that does not gain muscle mass easily. On top of that, he purposely keeps his hair long and tied in a variety of styles when at work. Many of these end up making him look more like one gender or the other, and can cause people lean more towards one side or the other.

Getting to the nitty gritty of it though, Adrian is a young man who stands at an incredibly average height of five feet and nine inches tall, with rather fair skin. In all honesty, he seems entirely normal, aside from his seemingly dyed emerald colored hair and his pitch black eyes. Generally though, Adrian is essentially a normal looking teenager, albeit one that is built in a more androgynous way than most.

Alternate Appearance:

Spoiler:

Normally, Adrian's sense of style opens the gate towards being pegged as either gender. However, when he dons the mask of his persona, this changes. His outfit takes on a far more regal appearance, and has articles of clothing that would be definite on a man. It is comprised of an untucked red dress shirt, along with gray dress pants that have a black flame design that sprawls up the left calf. Worn over all of this is a black mantle, worn with its sleeves rolled up to above the elbow.

This mantle has gold beading connecting its sides, and it is worn open. On the right shoulder however, there is a skull that looks similar to that of a hornless bull, but is about the size of a small deer's skull. The mantle also comes with a hood however, which is always worn up when around enemies. Generally speaking though, this outfit gives Adrian the air of a leader who wants to bring hope to those who would follow.

Personality: Like most people, Adrian's personality is hard to get a read on from a glance. On the surface, his neutral expression seems to read as being almost apathetic. However, Adrian is truthfully a very cheerful person, even if he tends to keep to himself. Even when he does get excited enough to speak more frequently than normal, he tends to do so in a fairly calm manner most of the time, and generally seems to be someone that doesn't rely on impulse all that much.

Of course, this isn't truly correct. He does trust his own instincts usually. Of course--like most people--he cares for others, and does actively try to do things to help others out. It just..isn't always successful. Nobody is perfect however. Adrian is no exception to this.

One major shortcoming of his is the very blunt way of speaking that he grew up surrounded by. His family is filled with very frank people who aren't afraid to speak their minds. But..well..on occasion, he will slip up and be overly blunt when the situation would call for a delicate hand, making the situation far worse.

This is not his only negative trait, but it is a large one. Due to his usual apathetic looking expression, Adrian has taken to being sort of the dishonest sort. While he morally can't force himself to lie to bring harm to someone, he has been able to lie about quite a few things, and does so with seemingly no guilt.

On top of this, he can also be rather bitingly sarcastic. When combined with his blunt nature, he can really cut someone down with ease. While he does try not to do this, it tends to happen on accident, as he is not fully used to the effect his words can have on people.

Generally though, Adrian does his best to be a good person, and believes that humanity in general is full of mostly good people who merely do their best. Try and shake this belief at your own peril.

—Description: N/A

Soul Bound Weapon:

Weapon Name: Faythe
Weapon Description: Faythe is a rather simple soul bound weapon in terms of everything except the dressings of the handle and sheathe. The weapon itself is the standard size for a straight sword, being about two feet long from the 'point' of the blade to its pommel. More importantly however is the type of blade that is present on Faythe. Faythe could easily be considered a sheepsfoot blade, as it has no real point, and only a single edge. However, what it loses in possible angles of attack, it gains in control. It is a very easy weapon to handle. As for the decorative bits of the weapon, its sheath has a simple silver decorative deer on it, while the rest of the sheath has several red 'petals' that accent both the sheath and the handle. All in all, Faythe is a simple, but flashy weapon.

The Background

History: Five years is not a long time. Adrian knows this. During the events that led up do the Eternal Divide, he was just a child. Thankfully, the Eternal Divide did not divide his family. By some miracle, they all survived this event that crashed upon the world like some divine retribution. For a short time, Adrian and the Blythe family wandered around, doing their best to not fall victim to the new threat that the Eternal Divide had brought forth: Demons. So when the government came with the offering of protection through the city of Endymion?

Adrian's family jumped on this. They had not only their own survival to worry about, but the survival of others. They could not protect themselves from this new threat, and they understood it. So they ended up being some of the first people to move into Endymion. Adrian's family in particular moved into the district that would become known as Vista Square.

For a few months, they watched as the city around them began to fill, with Adrian having a surprisingly normal life in the aftermath of the Eternal Divide. He went to school like many other children. And given that he had not seen anyone die as a result of it, he was one of the quicker ones to bounce back to acting like a normal child. Of course, living in the city came with a trade off. There was a sense of being watched no matter where one was. And on top of this, there were people popping up that were capable of summoning the very things that had led to the Eternal Divide.

Like everyone in Endymion, Adrian was raised to fear these people, and they were labeled as Psyche Terrorists. But..even as a young child, that never sat well with Adrian. He understood what the word Psyche meant. Soul, Mind, Spirit. All of these fell under the purview of this word. And yet..none of these definitions combined well with the other word of that label.

Of course, he never voiced this issue with anyone. He merely allowed it to stew in the back of his mind as he went through his daily life. As he got older and older though..he began seeing things. Like any child, he called his parents into his room whenever he saw the ghostly figures in his closet or under his bed. And just like any normal parent, they told him that it wasn't real. That they were in a safe place. Eventually, this led to them just yelling at him to go to bed from their own rooms, still parroting the idea of being safe here.

And yet, his own two eyes told him otherwise. Eventually, he made his way from middle school into the primary school of Endymion City. Seven Stars Academy. Here, the pro government material that they had been fed was far more heavy. Adrian had made more than a few friends by this point. However, as the year went on, he found more and more people that he knew fading away to join "Class 0".

So with precious few friends to his name, Adrian started attending clubs. His first attempt at making friends came with the Archery Club. Unfortunately, he seemed to attract misfortune with that club, having been the victim of getting shot by arrows many a time due to willful disobedience of club rules by some people. That led to him dropping the club, and joining the club that would define the majority of his time at Seven Stars. The Kendo Club.

He learned quite a bit of Kendo, and had plenty of fun while he was in the club. However, he did manage to find a part time job. As such, his time after school became far less flexible, and he eventually quit the Kendo Club. He still sees demons and other things more clearly than others do. But he does not truly know how deep these things go.

The cadets he had seen were all careful, and none had ever used their abilities around civilians. He also has broken precious few laws. Perhaps the biggest thing that has happened was that he broke curfew because of a car crash near his home that took out a chunk of sidewalk.

And yet..there is something that is sleeping within him. What this will be awaken to be is yet to be seen..but it is sure to turn everything onto its head, and show him the true state of things.

Everything appears in order. It's generally recommended you take five Strengths and Weaknesses as they'll be set in stone after you Awaken, but if you're fine with just having three then that's perfectly acceptable.
