[b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Adam is a very aged man. When people look at him, they get the idea that he'd easily fit well into the "wise old man" cliche. Adam moves slow and steady, and with constant restraint with every step. His face is covered in aged wrinkles, and he usually has a mature stare in his eyes. Despite his aged appearance; he's actually in good shape for a man his age. He's a bit pudgy around the mid-section, but otherwise, he's has high stamina and looks good. His shoulders are broad, not in the muscular sense. Adam's sort of a few inches under the average male height (5'8 ), being dwarfed by some of his children, and others. Then again, his arms and legs are quite long, making up a good deal of his height.  Adam is Caucasian, British in fact, with a beige skin tone, that has plenty of wrinkles and rolls here and there. He's been in quite a bit of action over the years, mainly due to his ability. He has a few scars on his body, with the most being on his arms and legs. None of them are too notable, and are well concealed under his outfit. Otherwise, his skin is mostly clear.

Adam has a very mature and weathered face. Adam has squared, and pronounced facial features. He didn't age badly, but in his youth, he was much better looking. He's not hard to look at, or overwhelmingly beautiful, would be putting it in better words. Adam has a inverted-rectangle shaped head. He has a very strong, thick, jawline. With a medium-sized chin, that sticks out a bit away from his face, and a subtle cleft. He has a very large forehead, and it is very, very big. With wrinkles and everything. Adam's cheekbones stick out a bit, and are quite noticeable once one examines his facial features. His nose is a little larger than average, his nose-bridge is thick, and his nostrils are very wide, with the tip of his nose being dull. Adam's ears are very round, medium-sized, and point outward. Adam's eyes are a hazel color, and are a little small. They're thin, but they're fairly round. Adam's hair is prematurely graying, most of his hair now is grey, but there are some notable strands of black hair if one is observant enough. It adds to that mature man vibe people get from him. Adam has short, well-groomed, straight hair. He keeps his hair combed over his head in a fancy manner. Adam also has a thick manly beard, it's styled like a duck-beard.

[b]Attire:[/b] Adam dresses very fancily, when out on the Academy. He usually is seen wearing any kind of suit (Usually a black pinstriped suit), and a fedora. Sometimes he'll wear a coat. Dressing professionally as possible. When he's alone in his room, he usually dresses causally and remarkably as anyone else. More than often enough, Adam is seen walking around with a heavy book in his hand. Adam is near-sighted. Thus he needs glasses to see. So he wears round, wire-y frame, glasses.

[b][u]Personality[/u][/b]

[b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] A hard-working and logical man. Adam has the mind-set and mentality of a leader. Having been a patriarch of a rather large family for quite awhile - Plus adding teacher for the Academy for several years. Adam is quite well disciplined and shows a super-humanly large amount of restraint. To say the least, Adam uses his head, and always chooses the best options. He'll always put people at large before himself. Adam has plenty of experience in many fields. Such as dealing with people, super-powers, and he's even faced a few super-villains in the past. Since he's been a teacher at the Academy for X amount of years, he's also quite experienced with dealing with the students. Whether they're starting fights, or getting a little too overzealous, he knows how to handle them quite well. He's the type that'd stick his nose into their business if he feels that he needs to. Since he has the authority to do so, they can't really complain. In conversation, Adam is a nice and endearing man. He treats people fairly, and never says ill about people. He acts mature and professional all the time - Being a bit of a hardass. Adam also rarely gets into arguments with people, he'll never be seen saying anything harsh about people - Regardless of what they're doing to him. Speaking of which; he almost never swears. Adam usually acts calm, but he can be extremely annoyed easily. Mainly by people who act arrogant and egotistical. He can also get quite pissed off when pushed far enough. Forcing himself to yell at people, pointing at their many flaws without mercy. To him; it's constructive critism.

Adam tends to act a little condescending when it comes to the students, and well, young people in general. He treats them like they're kinds. Little idealists that are too green to actually get anything meaningful done. He usually will take charge when they think they do, and will be quick to remind them who's knows best. He also has a bit of a habit of taking what those younger than him say at a little less value. Which can cost him, if they're telling the truth. To say the least, he doesn't respect teenagers. There are a few, and I mean few, students he'll trust and treat with uttermost respect, but they're hard to come across.

[b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Adam is quite the fan of books and reading. He's always seen with a book for a reason. He likes to read older books, those made in the 1900's era. Because those are the best to him. He will read any book really. In general Adam likes his entertainment about crime/police/detectives and mystery. 

[b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Adam is a determined, logical man, that knows people quite well. Which makes him perfect for the teacher position he's been assigned. In addition to that Adam has great social skills. He knows the school quite well, and can easily find his way around. 

[b]Prized Possession:[/b] His collection of books.

[b][u]Abilities[/u][/b]

[b]Power Class:[/b] Power 8

[b]Power:[/b] [i]Observational Power-Replication.[/i] Like the many Blackmores before him, Adam has a form of power replication. It runs in his blood, and the creator's love for this specific power. Like the others, he has his own special form of it. Basically, he copies powers from people by observing the power in action, and it's effects. However, he won't get the entire power at once. What he sees is what he copies. It might sound confusing - But here's an example. Say we have a pryomancer, and he shoots a f*ckload of flames, while many other fire powers are in his potential; Adam will only be able to shoot fire, until he sees more. Once Adam does see more, then he can copy more traits of the ability, until he completely copies the power. Passive powers can also be copied by Adam. He just needs to know the person's ability, focus on them, and he'll copy it. The strength of the copied ability will depend on how much Adam has observed. The more he observes, the stronger the ability will get - Until it matches the original in terms of strength. However, Adam will get a mutated form of the power, different from the original in some ways. In which ways the ability is mutated is random, in a way. When someone uses their power, Adam will intuitively understand how it works, and understand their power at a level that they probably won't. He'll also know if someone's using even the most subtle of all powers. Adam can store up to five powers (Complete or not) inside of him at once. When he chooses to start copying another power, he'll discard one power of choice. It is also possible for Adam to use two powers at once. However, it's more of him being capable of using one support/passive power and one power that's activated at the same time. In order for Adam to use a different power, he has to swap it out with another. Adam will start off with Telepathy, and Air/Wind Manipulation.

[i]Air Manipulation.[/i] Aerokinesis, Adam has control over air within a 25-meter range. He can do the basic airbender techniques of moving air in a variety of forms (Gusts of wind, tornadoes, etc), but he is also capable of controlling air on a deeper level - Controlling the temperature of air, interfering with elements that use air as a medium, limited telekinesis/flight. He is incredibly skilled with this power, and his knowledge of air allows him to pull off a few techniques (Minor-sound manipulation, flight, and so on). 

[i]Telepathy.[/i] Not much to go on about this ability. It's the basic telepathic ability. He has a mid-tier telepathy ability capable of reading thoughts, sending them, mental attacks, and minor alterations of the mind.

[b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] Adam is still afflicted by the two standard Blackmore weaknesses. Beat him enough, and he'll lose all powers. He also won't know how to use a power off the bat. Now with that out of the way, time for the drawbacks specific to him. At the start, his copied power will be weak as hell, and it'll take him awhile before it gets stronger. To get his power stronger, Adam will need to observe the original owner using the ability. He can't build up on someone else using the ability - Even if it's the exact same power. You could also be clever and blind his @ss and make this power absolutely useless!

[b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Adam is a long-time teacher at Academy 218. He teaches the Elemental-type students, and will give lessons once requested.
