Description

Personality

Adam is an anomaly in the Wastes: someone who generally believes in doing things by a moral code, as opposed for solely pragmatic or personal benefit. The main reason that he has survived to this point in his life is that he picked up on the handling, usage and maintenance of firearms at a very early age. If he is asked to do something, his first concern isn't "How much are you paying me?", but "Who needs help?" This is simultaneously a weakness that can be exploited (though not easily, as Adam's not stupid) but also one of his greatest strengths, because it allows him to resist temptations that lesser men would succumb to.

Equipment

Armor: Adam wears leather armor that he has kept in shape over the years by carefully using the remnants of fallen enemies' armor to perform patch jobs. He usually has enough leather pieces in his pack to cover any real damage. He wears a pair of combat boots he inherited from his father and a heart-shaped silver locket his mother used to wear.

Weaponry: Adam carries the following weapons at all times. Each weapon he uses is in incredible condition due to the time he spends maintaining his gear.

• .32 hunting rifle: This hunting rifle is Adam's main weapon. He uses only iron sights on it, having never needed or had a scope to assist with his targeting. This has helped develop his phenomenal accuracy. The gun itself is capable of making a human skull act like a watermelon with a direct, unarmored hit.
• 10mm pistol: This is Adam's primary sidearm and it is always kept in a holster on his right thigh for easy access.
• .44 revolver: Adam uses this weapon primarily to hunt for food, but he will use it in a fight if the need arises.
• Combat knife: The knife is stored in his boots.

All his other gear, including the equipment he uses to maintain his weapons and armor and any medical supplies, is stored in a backpack.

History

Born: May 28, 2255, the remains of Milwaukee, WI

Adam remembers his childhood as being normal enough as the Wastes could provide. He had a loving pair of parents, and they taught him how to survive. He remembers fishing with his dad and inadvertently catching a Mirelurk, getting his very first gun from his mom on his sixth birthday, and the day he first encountered a ghoul. All of these things would pale in comparison to the day he lost his family. They were killed in their sleep by Raiders, who stole everything they could find and ran. Ran like cowards. He was left alone for some reason. When he woke up that next morning and saw his parents, lying together in each other's arms with the dried remnants of their blood crusted around the slash wounds on their throats, everything in his life fell apart. When he was done burying them, all he could think of was how much he had lost...

So he ran.

He ran as far away as his legs could take him. He ended up in what used to be the Motor City, Detroit, and decided to restart his life there. Along the way, he kept several pieces of equipment his parents had managed to hide from the Raiders and they became the core of who he was. They gave him identity, purpose, a connection to what once was. Now, Adam lives to ensure that what happened to him never happens to anyone else. He fights injustices in his own way, seperate from the Brotherhood or any other such organization. Adam doesn't care what price others would want, he just wants to do good in this world. He wants to make it just that little bit better.
