■ OBSERVANT Adam sees things people tend to overlook whether it be a ceramic at a street market or bitten nails and cuticles on the girl behind him at the coffee shop. He believes that everyone has a small quirk they think is really hidden that shows their true self and enjoys trying to find it.
■ INTROVERTED Due to years of constant put downs in his childhood by his older sister, he likes to keep to himself and tries not to stray too far in the limelight. Which is rather hypocritical considering his hair dyes and styles along with his numerous piercings but he doesn't have to explain himself, nor does he want to.
■ IMAGINATIVE Adam loves making something amazing out of something otherwise unremarkable. He can make color palettes that would otherwise look trashy come out clean and inspiring and he loves looking for his next big project.
■ PACIFIST Despite his rather aggressive family dynamic, Adam hates strife and conflict and would rather help keep the peace or remove whatever it is causing the discord. Even if it happens to be himself.
■ SELF-CRITICAL Compliments baffle him unless done sarcastically or through text speak since he doesn't know if they're the real deal or not. So when he sends funny pictures on instagram or snapchat with an arrow pointing at a turd emoji he truly means it even if he tries to diffuse it with a hasty humorous hashtag.
■ GENUINE Even though he doesn't believe when they're directed at him, Adam is generous with his compliments and gasps of astonishment at others. He likes the idea that sending out good karma means that better will come to him but, in reality, he just loves seeing how bright he can make people feel about themselves.

CHILDHOOD Adam was born to his parents rather late in life with his older sister Bridgett being nearly a decade older than him. He supposes his childhood was rather normal compared to others; he grew up Irish Catholic going to church every Sunday and bible study every Wednesday night after the AA meetings, he played in a football league until secondary school, he spent (according to his parents anyway) way too much time in front of the telly instead of outside doing stupid dangerous stuff, really it's sort of embarrassing. The most colorful parts of it really was his older sister being a veritable witch to him until she finally moved out. Which was unfortunately not until she was twenty-two and married to her university sweetheart. There was hair pulling, toy crushing, pushing down the stairs, one bad accident with a bowling ball that led to him being in physical therapy for about half a year, normal stuff really. It was mainly her taunts that bothered him, especially since he was never the manliest of men according to her, and his father, and his mother, and about forty-fiveish percent of his family. Though he played football he didn't let it run his life like it did most of the males in his family and according to her he spent more time in the bathroom "primping" than she did for some of her formal dances. Which was a lie obviously but it still had his parents looking at him oddly and asking him random off the wall questions.
SCHOOL YEARS
Primary school had been pretty fun. Lots of coloring, even more running, kid stuff mainly. Intermediate was a little different with puberty and everything and apparently he had a look that appealed to girls and boys alike while he was attracted to no one. It sort of freaked him out. Not sort of it did. A lot. But he wasn't about to tell his parents, or God forbid Bridgett, that those were his feelings, so he lied about crushes and girls he supposedly liked and even landed a girlfriend around his last year. They had an amiable breakup he liked to think; she thought he was in the closet and he just never thought to correct her. He had gone home that afternoon faux contrite and heartbroken over his first love and thought that it could buy him a few months of relative peace. No such luck. His ex was somehow on friendly terms, or knew someone or was instagram friends he really didn't know, with his sister and told her why they broke up. Who of course immediately went running to his parents with the news. Who were then waiting with their priest and his grandparents for a confrontation and an intervention. What a great start to secondary.
Needless to say Adam walked on eggshells around his family afterwards (and totally did not convince anyone of his supposed heteronormative stance though he agreed to attend a counseling session with Father Grangan every other Friday afternoon). He was still confused on his feelings towards people knowing that he didn't identify with being gay, he knew he wasn't completely straight either, and "bisexual" just didn't set right with him, so he was stuck in this rather odd blob of emotions. He tried faking his way though of course but since the Intervention, and the fact that Kenmare is a small AF town, pretty much everyone knew of his supposed "status" and acted accordingly. There were some who were sympathetic, some were apathetic (because really being gay was just about the same to being born with a mole on your neck these days) and then some were just downright rude. Apparently gay bashing can span generations when riding a bike down his neighborhood can inspire a father/son team to yell slurs at him. Wonderful feeling really. The thought of continuing his football playing at the older school was laughable so he had to find other after school pursuits. He joined the newspaper and got signed on to update the school website and be the one that made the announcements and signs for every bake sale, auction, and formal dance that happened. None of which exactly gave any points towards being straight but by that point he was so far done with telling people who he wasn't and wasn't that he had just given up by then.
POST GRADUATION Adam graduated in the top ten percent of his class, which out of 112 students wasn't really that difficult but it was an accomplishment nonetheless, and was in another bit of a pickle. He had of course applied, and was accepted to the University College Cork but hadn't yet declared a major. He didn't have the first idea what he wanted to do so he basically planned on doing his basics his first year and a half before finally choosing one. Thank goodness his parents cared more to get him out the house than to be petty otherwise he was sure they would've spent his college fund on something else. Probably given it to Bridgett. UCC was about a two hour transit from his home so he stayed on campus or occasionally crashed at his part-time job, as long as he asked his boss first of course, rather than return home. He felt freer about himself than he had in about, ever, and decided that he would change his outer appearance sort of help his healing along. He first decided to go all out and get a straight mohawk and septum piercing, which in theory sounded great but once he was in the chair his fear of needles had him popping about five Tylenol's and a swig of vodka just so he could be sedated. His parents were, of course, furious with his change while his sister was ecstatic, mainly because it gave her the option to be the golden child. Like she never wasn't but still, it gave her yet another thing to gloat about. Adam tried to say that it didn't bother him that his parents were just keeping him from sheer decorum since it'd be "a horrid spectacle" if he were disowned just for being flamboyantly gay (which he wasn't but again, didn't care explaining) so they just happily accepted their estrangement and avoided the shop he worked in while sneering behind his back that it made perfect sense he'd want to work for a fairy as one. He wished it didn't hurt as much as it did but he'd learn long ago that wishes were rather like the tumblr support team: unreliable at best.
Around his second semester of university, after being dragged to a LGBTQ gathering by a friend, he was reading some of the pamphlets practically flung at him on his boring transit and stumbled over the term "asexuality." He was confused because he assumed it meant like, the plants, so he read further and was shocked to see how similar it sounded to how he generally felt. So, at six twenty-eight, exactly two minutes before his official work start time and exactly fifteen minutes away from said job, Adam came out of his proverbial closet to a semi-spacious efficiency flat. He's having the time of his life decorating it so, that's at least something.
In his last year of college all sorts of things imploded upon themselves. Adam and his brother-in-law had been steadily building a friendship over the past year and a half though they both thought it wise to hide it from his sister and parents. Plus he really enjoyed hanging around his nephew. However, the news got out and Dylan and his sister divorced with Dylan moving away and unconsciously leaving Adam to deal with the fallout. To be fair, he didn't really blame him but he did feel overwhelmed. His parents degraded and blamed him for his sister's now wrecked marriage (as if it were his fault she were a crazy bint or something) to which Adam refused to take credit for and in the end the estrangement he'd fostered with his family reached the farthest it could go without actual disownment. Which, in all honesty, wouldn't be too too terrible. It hurt but he was really far too tired of bearing the brunt of all the blame in his family when he'd literally done nothing wrong. His luck thankfully turned when weeks prior to graduation he received word that he'd gotten a position as a curator at a children's museum in Dublin. Without anything really holding him back (except maybe Ciaran but he knew he'd drop by regardless), Adam graduated and made his own big move. Hopefully with a larger space Priscilla wouldn't mind sharing with a few other succulents.
