He can put on an easy front of charisma and charm that makes him seem inviting while in reality he would rather be anywhere else. He really doesn't like people all that much, mostly due to the fact that he grew up an only child and living in a big city prior to moving to Walson meant he didn't spend much time with others outside of school. However, his father's position as a big time politician across the state of New York meant that he was frequently in the light of cameras and interested parties. Despite the fact he likes his alone time, Adrian is generally friendly with everyone and likes to be helpful. He is expected to be the top of his class, which he works hard at, and serves on the student council (mostly at his father's behest). He is more than willing to help out other students with studying for exams. That's not to say he won't deny someone help if he doesn't think they've earned it. Slacking off isn't a reason to come begging him to help with homework, genuine misunderstanding is, at least in his eyes. He isn't afraid to tell someone to go beg somewhere else and doesn't take kindly to repeated attempts to get him to agree to something. This rapid influx of anger usually burns off pretty quickly, but on top of it he is quick to hold a grudge. Once he's decided he doesn't like someone it takes the force of moving a mountain to get him to change his mind. On the opposite side of the same coin though, once he decides he likes someone he is loyal to a fault. His friends are more important to him than even his family (his cat Meeko is the most important to him though.)

Though capable of operating purely independent of his control, they can still function as extensions of his will, allowing him to command, control and otherwise influence them to varying degrees, which can even include causing the target to fly on their own power (in the instance that he created something with wings for example). Though it takes longer, in some cases, his power over the material can allow him to shape and mold it into a variety of forms and make it resemble various objects, entities, images and other shapes that can change at will. He can animate things like drawings or sculptures provided that he is the one that created them. He couldn't animate a statue or painting in a museum since he is not responsible for it's creation.[/color] [right][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9b/8b/63/9b8b63e3a03f2b6f78d1858f00618946.jpg[/img] [/right] [color=A1A1A1] Aside from the fact that he can't animate things that weren't made by his own hands there are a few other limitations to the ability. He has to keep some level of attention on the thing that he has animated. Otherwise it will continue to follow the last order he gave it or cease function entirely. He also is limited on the size or number of things that he can have animated at one time. If he has something large animated then he can only create smaller things until he stops focusing on the larger creation.[/color] [/cell] [/table] [b][u][color=8493ca]Skills[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b]- Arts of various kinds (drawing, piano, sculpting, etc.) - Public Speaking - Academically inclined - Great memory [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=8493ca]Weakness/Flaws[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b]- Easily Angered - At constant risk of burn out - Needs caffeine to function - Judgmental of himself and others [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=8493ca]Background[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b]Adrian was born in New York City proper to Walter and Camille Valentine. His family is fairly well off, his father being a rather well known politician and businessman in the city, and his mother a state known lawyer. Given these two positions he was often left at home with a nanny in his younger years, and being an only child mostly found it on his own shoulders to entertain himself. He found quickly that music and other artistic pursuits were a great way to pass the time, and even frequently got praise from his parents if he did well at them. Even from a young age his parents expected a great deal of him, he had to learn everything faster than anyone else and needed to have a diverse number of skills that would give his father something to talk about when it came to how talented his family was. This led to him being pushed far too hard in just about everything, and he still holds a massive grudge (though well hidden) against both his parents. He does excel academically and has been on some sort of student council or honor society from the moment they were an option. That doesn't mean that it's something that he really wants to be doing though. Mostly he keeps up the front of obedience so that his parents will pay for his college and he can get away from them as soon as possible. As he got older his parents decided the nanny was no longer needed and elected to leave him at home by himself. At first he was bothered by this, but came to appreciate the time that he could spend by himself with no expectations thrown his way. He took this time to actually enjoy some of the hobbies he has, namely practicing drawing or piano without having to be cooped up in his room. There is very little that his parents don't stick their noses in, so having some sort of escape was vital for him. He didn't have many friends outside of school, and even in school was mostly seen as a teacher's pet or show off, but he tried not to let it get under his skin too much. At the age of twelve his father elected to move them to Walson, for what exact reason Adrian still isn't quite sure, but he is grateful for it in some ways. Both of his parents commute to larger cities for their job which gives him the house to himself, and run of the city, for days at a time. He also appreciates the opportunity to make something out of himself at a new school where people don't only seem him as a know-it-all. Instead he tries to be friendly, helpful, and sinks just a bit into his father's politician's charisma so that people actually like him. From late middle school into high school he actually found himself making friends and not being instantly judged by his family. Which was a nice change of pace. He can do pretty much whatever he wants with no repercussions so long as he keeps his grades up, and living in a smaller town like Walson, as opposed to New York City, means he can actually go outside and enjoy himself. That usually involves bringing a sketchbook somewhere and hunkering down for several hours to unwind. [/b][/color][/indent] [/hider] [/quote] Accepted
