Name: Adam Joseph Sullivan
Birthdate: September 1st, 2000
Age: Fifteen
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Height: 5'02"
Weight: 100lbs
Hair: Dark blond
Eyes: Bright blue - exactly like his father's.
Parents: Ben and Ella Sullivan. Jackie is his stepmother (and his friends hate him for it).
Siblings: A half sister, Lily, and half brothers, Hunter and Knox.
Occupation: Student! Freshman in high school, in accelerated english, history, and composition classes. Not so great at math. Really enjoys art classes, especially painting, but he's taking drawing as well.
Personality: Adam is typically very shy around those he doesn't know well. He was more outgoing when he was younger (and actually used to sometimes get in trouble for being a smartmouth!), but ever since going missing, he's become much more reserved most of the time. He does open up in front of people he knows well. Extremely bright, mature for his age, he's easy to get along with, both kids his age and most adults, as long as he's not pushed too quickly into being social and allowed to open up at his own pace. He's sort of lapsing into typical teenage angst, though, and usually butts heads with his father rather than Jackie (whom he might trust more than he trusts Ben, sometimes).
Talents & Abilities: Very bright. Great at soccer, has been playing since five years old. Has played in little league baseball for a couple of years as well. Talented in painting, just starting to dabble in pencil sketches, too.
Strengths: Quick to figure out situations, even if people try to not be completely forthcoming about them because of his age. Very patient. Understanding of the situations of others when he chooses to be. Annoyingly good at Uno and most party games. Level-headed.
Faults: Can be stubborn. Will sometimes do things he shouldn't, because he's had to grow up quickly in some respects, and doesn't always understand that that doesn't mean he's an adult. Forgiving, sometimes to a fault. Adam's also just getting to the age of being a sullen, backtalking, dramatic teenager, though so far, he's not too unbearable. Often tries to take on too much responsibility, especially when his father is concerned, but even his friends and the rest of his family, sometimes to the point of it being detrimental to his own emotional health.
Brief Bio: Adam had a relatively normal childhood until the age of eight. He grew up an only child in a loving family with parents that weren't overinvolved but still encouraged him to do things he loved - mostly soccer, but art, too. Shortly after turning eight, his father took him, frantic, to a secluded home several miles away from the city, insisting that he'd come back when it was safe and that Adam needed to stay there with Carol, the owner of the property. It was two years before Adam saw Ben again. During those two years, Ben and Ella had separated and filed for divorce, and Ella had primary custody of Adam, even though the stress of Adam's disappearance (and the reappearance of Ben's alters) caused her to turn back to heroin, and the trauma of losing Adam meant she was often extremely overprotective.
Ben still saw Adam often, though Ella was doing her best in the divorce proceedings to get sole physical and legal custody of their son. The divorce still hadn't been finalized a year and a half later when Ben disappeared without warning, ending up in Rhydin with no way to travel back to Vancouver. Things got worse between Adam and Ella during this time, to the point of Adam running away from home to try to find Ben (or Jackie, who could take him to Ben) on his own. Ella's attempted suicide after finding Adam missing again was a wakeup call for her - she relinquished custody to Ben, and since then, Adam has lived in Rhydin, though he visits his mother a few times a year during school breaks.
Adam's forgiven Ben for what happened (a breakdown, a sudden resurfacing of his disorder that left Ben clueless to where Adam was, let alone that he'd been responsible for taking him anywhere), but their relationship is sometimes strained, especially lately. As he grows up, he finds more fault with the way his father pursues help for his illness (or doesn't), and sometimes finds himself resenting Ben for his abbreviated childhood. Neither of them are good communicators when it comes to personal issues (Adam was better when he was younger, but now fully in his teenage years, he avoids those conversations more often than not), and it creates tension between them.
His relationship with Jackie is much better - she mothers him, but not too much, and they're fairly close in age (about eleven years apart), so they get along well. However, Adam tends to be somewhat protective of her, too - Adam's friends are starting to notice that Jackie is very young and very attractive for a stepmother, which has ended in a couple of fistfights between Adam and a few of his friends. Boys will be boys?
He adores his sister Lily. He loves his brothers, too, but he's as wrapped around Lily's tiny finger as Ben is.
Additional Info:
** Likes archery more than firearms, though he knows how to use both.
** His best friend is a wolfboy named Jack.
** Loves hockey, though he doesn't play. Canucks, of course.
** Still plays soccer and baseball, junior varsity in both sports this year.
** Suffers from abandonment issues to a degree, along with mood swings. Sometimes angry outbursts, but usually directed at his father, so that could just be being a teenager.
** Saved every letter Ben wrote to him while they were separated for a few months when Ben first got to Rhydin.
** Sort of plays guitar.
