History: The origin of the Adesolas was one of survival and oppression. This family was a tattered group of scavengers forever locked in a losing battle against opposing tribes and slavers. It is during this trying time, an outcast happened to unintentionally trespass upon the Adesolas, being captured that very instant. It had been a time bound tradition for the Adesolas to sacrifice prisoners to their Gods, however before the ritual could take place the tribe came under heavy siege. The annihilation of the tribe seemed inevitable, however as circumstance would have it the very prisoner they sought to sacrifice became their salvation. The outcast easily overwhelmed the opposition, somehow bending the will of the wildlife and with claws and fangs assuring the clan’s survival. Performing such marvel the man was immediately heralded as their king, marrying the chief’s daughter to sanctify his ascension. A brief time of peace followed where the clan enjoyed their fleeting prosperity, however word of their power travelled across Africa and with it dread. To combat the rise of the Adesolas several tribes united and assaulted the clan, their sheer numbers wrought havoc upon the clan. Despite a valiant display the clan members began to fall, one after the other, there was only so much they could do without their king. It was an act of betrayal by the Chief’s brother, who consumed by jealousy, assassinated their king in his sleep, mere hours before the onslaught. However the clan did not fall, due to the selfless sacrifice of countless; the pregnant queen managed to escape along with a few soldiers and the tribe’s young children. The bloodline’s origin takes place when the Queen’s triplets grow of age with each, inheriting alchemy and with it assuring the clan’s survival. It is during this endeavor A.M.R.O enlisted the clan and in return promised prosperity beyond their imagination. Once the deed had been done, the clan began to grow in power and size, with alchemists being born in each generation. Soon enough the Adesola’s grew to have a strong influence within Africa, however by choice they refused to empower themselves financially. Their fortune came from the multiple farm lands they occupied, however much of it was offered back to improve Africa’s condition. “To protect one’s own”, this became the motto of the tribe and as such they cherished their people and held every outsider in contempt, the only exception being A.M.R.O to whom the family has remained steadfast and loyal.

She treats all members of her bloodline as family, even the rogues who have pledged their loyalty.

She realizes that the Adesolas family cannot survive if they are forever pushing away and being suspicious of outsiders. She is convinced that the only reason they have survived is that the other families are idiots. Unfortunately, her efforts to convince her mother to open up a tad have been ruined by the recent murders. She is patient, however, willing to wait and watch for the right opportunity to talk and convince her mother again. [/hider]
