General

Full Name: Adam McGrath
Nickname: Hyperion

Gender: Male
Race: Old American
Age: 35
Birthday: October 15th
Resident of: Academia
Member of: The Laureate. Leader of largest anti-AP military. Go figure.


Exterior and Interior

Appearance: Posted Image

Adam's most immediately noticed feature is his face, or, the lack of one, really. During an ordeal with an Outskirts bandit, his face was severely burned, and he had Academia's best scientists make him a new one. Unfortunately, there are no plastic surgeons in Academia, as to follow a career in the field would certainly lead to exile, so his artificial face looks more improvised than anything. He typically dresses in Academian attire: suits, ties, slacks, and vests are all common parts of his wardrobe. He wears his hair in any manner of ways, from slicked back for business events, or spiked and styled like some wicked beast when he has no formal plans.

Personality: Adam is commonly known by his subordinates and soldiers as "the biggest asshole on planet Earth" which is a sound assumption, considering that he rarely shows mercy or consideration. As the 4th member of the Laureate and father to its newest heir, Adam attempts to, to a degree, curb his appetite for destruction to teach his son in the ways of the Laureate.

Likes: Watching the world burn, explosions, success, power, ponies made of diamonds
Dislikes: Bandits, outlaws, people with opposing views, rainbows, scholars, critics, educated bandit outlaws who judge him based on his opposition to rainbows and peace, hippies, pacifists, those with greater power

Talents: Adam can use telepathy to control the minds of humans and the CPUs of synthetics, but only those under his control. He also has the ability to bend the wills of the weak-minded to his benefit. Which would explain how he even got the job in the first place.

Inabilities: Adam, due to his constant success in life, cannot accept defeat

Fears: Losing his power and/or being defeated


History

Past: Adam had his earliest upbringings on Cobble Street, a child of a relatively poor family that abandoned him when he was just 5 years old. The event scarred him for life, and he vowed to one day be greater than his parents. He used his unique abilities to slowly sap away peoples' money, which accounts for the state of economy on the Street itself. He used his illegitimate earnings to buy a home, which he lived in for the next decade or so, using his habit only when necessary. When he found a girl abandoned outside Academia's walls, he saw her as a way out of his lonely reality. But when he tried to control her, she lashed out at him, knocking him unconscious and tying him to a chair. The girl went through a monologue about being burned alive, then poured gasoline on Adam's face and set it ablaze. The girl left him to die, and wandered off to the Hub.
Adam survived, barely, and made a slow retreat to Academia. Using his skill for his own benefit, he quickly brainwashed the guards into letting him in. After a somewhat decent facelift, he began his rise to power. Along the way, he met Sara, his wife. The two had a child, Omar, but Adam, becoming consumed by greed, left her and kept the child instead. He is now seated firmly in the office of the Laureate, and is raising his son to one day replace him.

Dreams and Ambitions: Adam wants to "cleanse the Earth of bandit scum". Being a particularly broad statement by his standards, "bandit" translates to "everyone he doesn't like"

Notes: Adam's alias, Hyperion, is a reference to the Greek titan by the same name, who was known as the "all-seeing eye" of the Titans.
