Nickname: N/A
Age: 27
Sexuality: Bisexual
Story: Beauty and the Beast
Character: The Beast
Dislikes: Loud places, thievery, taverns, egotism, drunkard behaviour, and sternness.
Strengths:
Duellist – Prince Adam is a deadly combatant in light armour and the arts of precision and dexterity, being trained in the castle as a boy by the most elite of Duellists. His specialisation in the rogue class remains to be a disappointment to his father, former king, veteran warrior, and Champion of his time. Adam favours the bow and dual blade to be his best in weaponry.
Paragon – Contrary to popular belief, Prince Adam's proud, haughty exterior is a façade to his true qualities. Although he lacks self-conciousness and possess a slight disregard in the feelings of others, Prince Adam embodies an honest and genuine disposition.
Charm – Prince Adam’s royal blood takes to an advantage when he is needed to charm, persuade, or flatter someone. He is able to string together striking conversation, which people go along with, for the most part.
Weaknesses:
Independence – Being castle born and bred, Adam is used to the royal routine of having servants, maids, and everything ready and done for him. His skills and knowledge in survival are very, very poor.
Outspoken – Prince Adam's blunt and directness has gotten him into trouble one too many times. However, this does coincide with his honest nature.
Insensitive – The lines between honesty, humour and one's feelings are disregarded in Prince Adam's temperament. At worst times, he does not see a limit to his actions.
Fears:
Since the explosion, Adam fears the night, particularly in time for sleep. He also fears assassins, and the thought of being watched or followed.
Memory:
“I… I-I remember a girl. I can’t quite recall her face, or her name. But I feel an overwhelming responsibility for her. No, no that’s not the word – desire. I won’t overstep and talk of love and the moon and all that rubbish… But I know that I must find her. I fear the worst will come for us both if I do not. That’s all I know, right now. Well, that, and a change in my gut as well as a searing pain in my skull.” – Prince Adam
Opinion on the War:
“I don't know where the Queen is headed with all this, but the bloodshed and brawls have been rather exciting, don't you agree?” – Prince Adam
The Prince's knowledge of the War is very limited. He does know of the basics, but so far all Prince Adam sees in the entire subject is not the problematic issues, but the thrill of battle.
Personality:
Prince Adam is known to be pessimistic, cynical, quick-tempered and spoiled. He is very fond of dark humour and has a knack for being inopportunely direct with his opinions, and almost always has something to say. If not, Prince Adam’s common response to most things would be a simple shrug, scoff, or sarcastic remark.
Despite his many faults, what lies underneath his conceited, proud exterior is an unperceived sincerity and lack of self-consciousness. Prince Adam does not doubt his value, beliefs, or character. He often speaks the truth as he sees it, and will not be swayed by feelings or cowardice. Despite the turns of this unfortunate trait, what Prince Adam says is more than often, true. Prince Adam believes himself to be a man of complete integrity, however vain he may phrase it.
He is fond of hunting, an activity he has been taken to since he was a child, shortly after discovering his talents in archery. Prince Adam’s attraction for nature and the wilderness is born from hours to days at end trapped in the castle. Despite his charisma, he had never been known to have many friends - only strangers who attend balls in his castle, and the servants of his home. However, this does not fail Prince Adam in social situations.
History:
Most of Prince Adam’s history remains a mystery, even to the Prince himself. What can be recollected is that he lived in a luxurious palace, where he had everything and anything he wanted, for he was terribly selfish as he was rich. As a single child, his father and mother loved and devoted their lives to his very success. Prince Adam was truly his father’s most prized possession. However, when it was revealed that Prince Adam’s gifts were found in the arts of archery and deftness, his father quickly grew cold and detached, as he had desired a more warrior-like class for his son to take after his own. In response to his father’s new perception of him, Prince Adam became aloof. He grew lazy, irresponsible, spoilt even more. He also manifested in untasteful activities, regarding wine, women… and men. Many years passed, to which Prince Adam's mother had succumbed to a sickness fed by her husband and son's everlasting feud. She passed away, the night before Prince Adam's 17th name day (birthday). From that night on, he began to develop a disregard for his father’s taunting as well as a great indifference for the opinion of strangers, and whatever light people might have branded him in.

Prince Adam became renowned for his most famous tale that occurred one Christmas Eve, when his kindness was tested by a beggar woman who came to the castle to ask for shelter from the blizzard, in return for a single, red rose. When Prince Adam shunned the beggar woman for her horrendous appearance, her true form was then revealed. She was a beautiful Enchantress. Upon seeing her beauty and realising her power, Prince Adam quickly offered his sympathies, but was then transformed into a hideous beast for his pride and conceit. A curse was also cast upon the castle. The Enchantress had turned what was once a beautiful palace into a crumbling, dark, foreboding place, where lush green grass was found by wolves and other creatures that came in the night.
Ashamed of his new appearance, the Prince locked himself inside the castle, secluding himself from the outside world. Time had passed, and a merchant had happened upon the crumbling castle one night. Seeing that the master of the castle was nowhere to be found, the merchant spent the night there. The following morning, just when he was about to take his leave, the merchant discovered a most beautiful, lush rose garden, recalling him of his promise to his youngest daughter – the gift of a red rose. Upon picking the loveliest of the batch the merchant was confronted by a terrifying “Beast”, to which it demanded satisfaction from the merchant for stealing his possession. Eventually, they had come to a deal, whereby the Beast spared his life in return for his daughter, Belle. Long story short – Once Belle had returned her love for him, as only by finding true love despite his ugliness, could the curse be lifted from the Beast and the castle. Prince Adam and Belle married in summer.
Since the explosion, Prince Adam now finds himself in the woods, miles away from the castle, and Belle.
