HEXXX #88B0D5
HAIR COLORXX Black
EYE COLORXX Amber
Adrien's appearance is very unique towards anyone that is meeting him for the first time. But if you've known him for a little while then whatever he decides to do to his body and wear upon his body shouldn't be to any shock to you. AJ likes to keep his frame very slender as he has an athletic, toned out body. He stands about six foot two inches tall with a weight of one hundred and eighty one pounds. Yes, he has a little bit of muscle but he is also a little bit scrawny, as well. AJ's hair takes on a deep brown complexion in most light but in other amounts of lighting, his hair can appear to be almost black. He likes to keep his hair curled up like a little Afro, as well. Since he is mixed with African American and Hispanic, his skin complexion takes up a light skinned approach and his eyes are a pure hazelnut color. Adrien has an array of tattoos, one giant tattoo that is located on his right arm and it's nothing more than a bunch of roses. He also has a tattoo behind his left ear that is of a four leaf clover. AJ has a very casual style of dress, as well. He likes to wear t-shirts and baggy pants or cargo shorts along with a pair of Chuck Taylor's, which is about the only pairs of shoes he owns. Adrien also has an assortment of hats and bandanas that heβll sometimes wear, too.
STRENGTHSXX
XXβ₯ Observant : Adrien has eyes and ears like a hawk. He seems to be able to notice the smallest details about something or someone making his sleuthing ability quite exceptional.
XXβ₯ Independent : As a result of being the sole caregiver of his siblings, this has resulted in Adrien being almost tragically self-sufficient. He knows how to pick his battles, and how to manage when fate deals you a bad hand.
XXβ₯ Intuitive : The mind of a sleuth, Adrian is a naturally intuitive person. His gut feelings normally end up leading him in the right direction, and his ability to infer is exceptional.
WEAKNESSES
XX β₯ Distant : AJ has a strong tendency to pull away from the people he loves when he needs it the most, because he hates the idea of feeling like a burden.
XX β₯ Opportunistic : Guilty of sticking his nose where it's not always wanted, AJ tends to prefer being involved in a variety of situations. While it's true that he lacks ill intentions, often times attempting to help, rather than harm, his somewhat intrusive actions have left him with the label of a busybody and a meddler.
XX β₯ Smart-Ass : It's easy for Adrien to piss people off. Charm is not something that comes easily to him. Sarcasm and snark, however, are.
FEARSXX
XXβ₯ Losing the Paper : The Astorian is his sole life and the paper getting shut down is one of his biggest fears.
XXβ₯ Needles : AJ can openly say that he doesn't know a soul who actually enjoys the feeling of getting pricked, metal sliding into the pores of one's skin for whatever purpose. Sure, he logically understands that this half a second of pain is only meant for the greater good, but that doesn't mean that he has to enjoy it.
SECRETS
XX β₯ Anon Tip : A few weeks ago Adrien received an anonymous tip in the Astorian's mailbox that gave him an address. He hasn't investigated it out of fear.
PERSONALITYXXX Adrien is a darkly humorous, borderline apathetic on a down-day, comically cynical with a quick temper and a lot of secrets. He's crafty, intelligent, gifted with the mind of a writer. His so-called "outsider" status amongst his fellow peers allows him to write about Astoria from an objective point of view. Making him all too observant, and perfect for the head writer of the paper.
One would think that Adrien's physical characteristics of being intimidatingly tall and imposing, may be an indication that Adrien is a menacing, brutish presence. However, those who choose to define AJ by this quality only reveal their lack of knowledge of this brooding young man; after all, his siblings will testify that "he's the fluffiest, gooiest marshmallow of a brother that you'll ever see ever." Though, he blames this solely on the fact that he can't scold her when she gives him the "puppy dog" eyes.
Adrien is a low-maintenance and chill person. It doesn't take much to entertain him, and he's more independent than dependent. He likes to focus on himself and making sure that he's happy and taken care of before anyone else. Though understandable (and maybe even admirable), it can definitely be construed as selfish when he's constantly prioritizing himself over friends. Part of this trait probably comes from his natural personality, but because he's had to take care of himself within the last few years, this notion that if he doesn't take care of himself, no one else will, has become even more prominent in his life than ever before.
He's passionate about few things (including films, family, and writing), but will protect them with everything he has. He refuses to give up on anyone or anything he believes in, which makes him quietly supportive amongst his peers. He loves to see his friends succeed, but from afar. Adrien is determined and not easily deterred, willing and able to overcome any obstacle in front of him. A few years prior one of his more "scandalous" articles nearly shut down the paper but he fought tooth and nail to keep it alive.
HISTORYXXX Born to a single mother, Adrien has always had to take care of his family from a young age. Growing up in the poorer side of Astoria, Aj always felt a little jaded because of his predicament but never let it be an excuse. The oldest of three, he spent most of his time from school caring for his siblings while his mother was at work. It wasn't until his freshman year when he began to really get into writing. His English teacher noticed his affinity for words and suggest that he revamp the Astorian. The school newspaper that had ended a few years back because of lack of staff. At first Adrien was a little adamant, he didn't really believe he'd have time for it considering he had to care for his siblings and told Mr. Grant that he'd think about it.
He nonchalantly brought it up at the table one night and his mother was absolutely appalled that he had turned it down. She refused to let their situation inhibit her son from doing something he was interested in. A little surprised, but deep down overjoyed Adrien agreed and by his sophomore year had a small staff behind him. The paper was an instant success considering the controversy that Adrien's articles covered. Stuff that nobody in Astoria would've dared touch, in fear of being reprimanded. But Adrien believed in the truth. Now that a string of missing persons and murders has littered the town he's determined to figure out what is plaguing the town.
