School/Occupation: Director-level Executive at a local bank.

Hobbies:
"Language is Beautiful." - Calligraphy - There's something so nice about how nice an ink pen moves across the page to create pretty words that leave people swooning. Adam got into calligraphy when he found himself drawing fancy letters in the corners of his notebooks in school. It stuck, and eventually he learned there were more fun ways to do this. These days, he keeps a whole box of different pens he loves, and if someone's lucky enough to befriend him, he'll often write notes in calligraphy for them.

"I'll get us out." - Mazes - Another thing he used to do to occupy a bored mind in school, he kept a small maze book in his desk he would pull out and slip into his notebook to do instead of taking notes. It's evolved into an extensive hobby. On the side, he's actually submitted mazes and other similar puzzles to newspapers, and has self-published a few maze books on popular selling platforms.


Virtues:
"Nothing to Fear." - Confident - If there's one thing that Adam definitely has, it's confidence in spades. Nothing seems to shake him, and even a minor setback tends to be met with a laugh and an easy statement that it'll certainly come to him in due time. This influences how he interacts with people, too. He's the type that enters a conversation easily, with a strong handshake and assurance that he will make a good impression.

"Here to Ask for my Promotion." - Ambitious - Adam wants to make it to the top, and he knows it. He's happiest when he finds himself in a position of power and endeavours to get himself there as often as possible. This translates into a strong determination to make sure he succeeds, and he'll do everything possible to make sure any mission he's part of is a success. This makes him a very handy person to have on someone's team so long as he sees reason to be there.

"The Pleasure's Mine." - Charming - Adam's in business and he knows what is necessary to get ahead in business. It's become a part of himself in a way; he can't quite take the charm off. It's a way he uses to warm people up to him, all smiles and compliments and occasionally empty words that, at least, sound pretty. It's also made him good at masking his own thoughts; those occasionally empty words oft hide what he's really thinking under the surface.


Flaws:
"This Won't Hurt." - Malicious - Adam wants the best for himself and himself nearly alone. He doesn't necessarily care about the well-being of anyone else, to the point where he occasionally cares for the opposite: he wants to see others harmed, and takes some joy in it he doesn't oft admit to unless he's making a casual joke about schadenfreude. Doesn't look good, after all. But if others are doing badly, well, it only makes his advancement easier.

"Whatever It Takes." - Ambitious - And he's willing to do whatever it takes. A little bit of people getting left behind at the scene, a reputation of someone else getting destroyed, a bit of blackmail or white lies to the media -- he doesn't really care what the success of his mission requires, he will do it. This can result in him being interpreted as cruel, and when it feeds back into his malicious nature, he's not sure he really cares.

"Come with Me?" - Beguiling - Edging into manipulative, Adam is a charming person who knows how to get his way. He has, on more than one occasion, convinced other people to simply give him what he wants by easing them into the idea that it's the right way. This translates into the more extreme version of his charm, and may be part of the reason why he's gotten himself into the position he has.

Hey Seiana! Looking over Borax right now, he looks mostly stampable! There is just one thing that I would like to bring up. 32 is a little young to be a director-level executive. I did some quick research and found the average age in America to be about 45-50. I'm also concerned about him being so high up at a national back chain. To avoid giving any one character too much pull right off the bat, characters can start out with a moderate level of notoriety but they will have room to grow through RP. If you would like, Adam could be director of a local bank, maybe inherited from a family member or mentor. This would allow him to grow as he is played rather than start off with nationwide influence and reach!

Looks good to me, have fun!
