[B]Name:[/B] Adam Hayes [B]Age:[/B] 23 [B]Gender:[/B] Male, Bisexual [B]Species:[/B] Human [B]Occupation:[/B] Slayer [B]Magical Studies:[/B] Sorcerery His Fire magic has grown a lot since Pannis. It varies in power with the strength of his emotions. At minimum he can generate small fireballs in the palms of his hands and fire them. He can also imbue weapons, or his fists, with fire properties, for extra potency. When he’s feeling particularly angry, he can cast larger scale fire magic like shooting streams of Fire out of his hands, or making objects explode in a fiery burst. Of course when he’s feeling pissy, things have been known to catch fire. He also has a very high tolerance for heat. That being said, he is bothered by cold... [B]Magical Aids:[/B] Dual Guns: His signature weapon. A pair of red pistols that can fire multiple shots rapidly. He also carries around iron bullets, as well as silver bullets. He can also forego the bullets entirely, and just shoot small fireballs out of them. In dire situations, he can also pistol whip someone. Sword: His backup weapon. A straightforward sword, nothing fancy here. Well, other than the fact that he can set it on fire with his magic. Pentagram Pendant - SIN provided him with an enchanted pendant that gives him increased strength, and speed so he can properly go toe to toe with the monsters he slays. Enchanted Bracelet - Also given to him by SIN. A black bracelet with little red jewels encrusted into it. It gives a slight resistance to magical attacks.

He's impatient, and prefers to actually do things, as opposed to sitting there reading about other people doing things. As such, book smarts aren't really his forte. However, he is capable at thinking quick on his feet, He is brave, sometimes recklessly so, and he enjoys the outdoors and physical activities, he is also physically strong because of those activities. In addition to physical activities, Adam enjoys art as well. He likes to draw, and paint, and always carries around a sketchbook with him if the urge to draw ever strikes him. He mainly got into art because he knows his parents would think it's a waste of time. Adam is the type of guy that likes to shoot first, and ask questions later, and not give a damn about the consequences. Nothing ever got done just sitting there thinking about stuff. Often immature and mischievous, he disregards rules, and can often be a troublemaker. He can also be very blunt, and isn't one to sugarcoat things, which usually ends up offending people. When it comes to voicing his opinions, he's not exactly the most polite person, often speaking his mind and never hesitating to shoot down anyone for any number of reasons. He speaks in a crude manner, and has a tendency to swear a lot. He has no problems breaking the rules in order to get things done. Despite his lean appearance, Adam has a big appetite, and he likes to eat a lot. and he likes to eat a lot. He's not picky, about the foods he eats, and is willing to try anything once. He is lucky enough to have a high metabolism so that he doesn't get chubby easily, plus he excercises a lot anyway. His willingness to try anything extends beyond food, and likes to experiment in other activities, as long as they're exciting to him. He's very competitive, and hates to lose. He is not afraid to resort to dirty tactics if it means a victory. He is an arrogant winner, as well as a sore loser. Often coming to blows with people he has lost to. At times, he is lazy, and he often procrastinates to get work done. Despite this, he is very stubborn, and once he's set his mind on something, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. He is very confident in himself. He thinks he is awesome, and he likes to show off his strength. So much so, that he often comes across as arrogant, he has a tendency to brag about his accomplishments, and he often underestimates others and overestimates himself. It is not difficult to get him mad, and he will not hesitate to hurt people verbally and/or physically if he is provoked enough. If one is patient with him, and he comes to respect someone, they will find he is one of the most loyal friend you could ever ask for. He will stick by you, and defend you no matter what. Although, he will still laugh at you if you did something stupid. While he does have masculine interests, he does quietly like cute things. Butterflies and rainbows can be just as badass as skulls and dragons. It’s not something he brags about though, and if anyone dares to say anything about it, they can eat a fist to the face. He is a big flirt, and he frequently hits on males and females he finds attractive. There is usually a lot of touching involved in his flirting, and not always appropriate touching either. Even though he loves hot guys and girls, he isn't always polite in his interactions with them. He gets a laugh out of teasing statight guys, and making them uncomfortable. He isn't exactly serious about looking for a relationship, and his flirtations are mostly him playing around. He also likes playing games, and he can often be found at the game arcades, casinos, and bars spending a lot of money to play, and gambling it to make more money. Besides playing in the casinos, his favorite pastimes are playing any kind of sport that lets him show off, and winning. He is a nicknamer, and he often gives nicknames to new people he meets. Adam generally tries to keep an optimistic attitude about things. After all, being angsty all the time isn't going to accomplish anything. There are several types of people he can't stand. Mostly rich snobs, stoic loners, annoying know-it-alls, and generally anyone he perceives as thinking they are better than him. He purposefully tries to irritate these kinds of people when he meets them, to get a reaction out of them. His biggest insecurity is feeling like he's not good enough, and that he doesn't belong anywhere. He hates being reminded of this fact, and it is the reason why he lashes out when he's upset. All in all, though hotblooded, Adam is a cheerful young man, and he's a loyal friend to those willing to put up with his antics. [B]History:[/B] Adam was born to a wealthy upper-class family in Miami Florida. Unknown to him, but known to the rest of his family, both of his parents were vampire hunters. He is a distant descendant of a Fire Sorceress named Seraphine on his mother's side. Members of this side of the family have manifested fire magic, but it's been known to skip a generation. Since Adam didn't really show any obvious magical potential, and because they wanted to keep this part of their lives a secret, Adam was left in the dark. During his childhood, Adam was not told of his parents true profession so he could have a normal life. Since birth, Adam was expected to live up to the family name, and behave a certain way. Adam just wasn't comfortable with this. As a child, Adam was a bit troublesome. Aside from sports, and art class, academics were not his forte. He spent class time doodling instead of paying attention and taking notes. He didn't get good grades, he often got into trouble with his teachers for speaking his mind more than he should, and his parents got a lot of complaints about his behavior which caused them quite a bit of concern. While he may have gotten into trouble a lot, he found it easy to make friends due to his outgoing personality. He quickly became popular on campus with other students that found him fun to be around. When puberty started, and the hormones kicked in, he realized he liked both boys and girls very quickly. He flirted with others freely, and would often flirt with boys even when he knew the other guy wasn't gay. This earned the ire of some, but Adam didn't really care. For as many that said no, one would say yes. He had many affairs in his young life, but nothing serious and lasting, which he was perfectly ok with. He was having fun, and wasn't interested in being in anything serious at such a young age. His parents hoped Adam’s rebellious behavior was just a phase he was going through. They wanted him to be a proper gentleman to carry on their family name and reputation. Their efforts to discipline their son only made him more rebellious. Adam would often make out with boys in front of his parents to spite them (the fact that it was two dudes making out somehow made it more scandalous.) He would also sneak off to go to casinos and bars to gamble and get a drink. He had friends who made very convincing fake IDs for this purpose. When he started high school, his parents enrolled him into an elite boarding School, that had very high standards for their students. They thought being in a more structured environment would be good for the boy, as they hoped it would calm him down a bit. This only made Adam even more upset. When he first started attending, Adam decided to rebel by misbehaving more than he usually does, with the hope that they would kick him out. His grades got even worse than before due to not even bothering to study, and he mouthed off to the teachers very often, and broke many of the school's policies. His parents got a lot of complaints about his behavior, and he was often disciplined harshly, not that this mattered to him. He didn't get along well with the other students in this new school, either. They thought he was a low class jerk who didn't belong there, and Adam couldn't stand their snobbish attitudes. He occasionally got into fistfights with other students when he was provoked. Adam would have been expelled were it not for his family's wealth and influence. At some point during his time at the school, Adam stopped getting any sort of communication from his parents. Supposedly they were away on business, but they disappeared for much longer than they normally did. Adam eventually accepted that he was going to be stuck there until he graduated and no amount of rebeling was going to get him out. Most of the other students thought he wouldn't get very far in life, and Adam was determined to prove them wrong. He started studying a little, and doing much better in his classes. However, his behavior still hadn't changed. He still got into trouble frequently for talking back to his teachers (or flirting with the attractive substitute teachers they sometimes brought in, no matter their gender,) and getting into fights with other students. Despite everything, he barely managed to graduate from school. Shortly after graduation, Adam found out the real reason why his parents suddenly disappeared. He found out that his parents were Vampire Hunters, and they had taken one last mission. They had gone off to some unknown castle in a far away town to kill the Vampire King who lived there. The mission did not go as planned, and Adam's parents were killed in combat. The boy did not take it well, for a number of reasons. Besides the fact that his parents were dead now, he was upset that he wasn't told about they're secret occupation, and that he wasn't trained to follow in their footsteps. He would have preferred killing the undead than being stuck in some prissy school with a bunch of snobs. He took a few months to practice, and to track down the castle where his parents have been killed, Adam made his way to Pannis to avenge their death, equipped only with a pair of guns he found in his family's collection of weapons. He has no experience in this, but he's determined to avenge his parents death, and prove that he is capable of doing something right. During his time in Pannis, he met some other slayers, and killed some vampires. Also during this time, he discovered his innate fire magic. Due to his newfound magic, and lack of experience with said magic, Adam wound up setting the Castle of the Vampire King on fire, and that helped in forcing all the vampires in Pannis to flee. The Mayor promised wealth and glory to any slayer that helped drive the vampires out of Pannis, and he got it. Adam got paid very well, and was contacted by an organization called the Slayers International Network, or SIN for short. A government organization designed to deal with supernatural matters. This organization was the same one that employed his parents, and after hearing about Pannis, they decided to recruit and train him as Slayer. They would even pay him a stipend for his services. Adam happily accepted the offer. He would much rather kick undead ass for a living, then go to college and do something boring like study medicine or law. So, for the next five years, Adam trained to be a slayer. He honed his Sorcery, learned to use his guns, as well as a sword and various unarmed fighting techniques, and got to slay some undead monsters in the process. Even though SIN found him much harder to rein in than his parents, they had to admit he got results. He made enough money slaying to support himself, and got himself an apartment in New York City. He enjoyed the freedom that came with being adult. He got himself a tattoo, various ear piercings, and his own motorcycle. When he's not slaying, he often goes to bars to drink, flirt, play pool, and sometimes get into motorcycle races with others. He's also had more affairs with both men and women, though once again nothing long lasting, and he's perfectly ok with that.
