appearance
Adam has always looked a little... nerdy, shall we say. He never really cared much for his looks, really. He was always into normal t-shirts and just jeans. Really plain. He's not much a trend setter, really. Instead he usually gets his sister to dress him. For work he usually likes to wear argyle sweater vests (much to his sister's dismay) and darker, mostly black dress pants. The only thing he actually splurges on fashion-wise would be his Italian leather shoes, which make people think he's sort of an uppity kind of guy. That's not the case; he just really likes his shoes. Adam likes to style his hair as if he was from back in the 50's or 60's. It makes him feel pretty awesome. He tends to play around with it a little, but always ends up having it styled as if he was going to go get into an old Plymouth and start driving around.
personality
Adam really likes to know things. That's how he became a teacher. He believes that you don't stop learning once you graduate; you keep learning from experiences and new things are found out. He gets pretty aggressive to an extent... he can get really angry sometimes but he does try to control it. Adam was a lot worse as a kid and he wasn't very nice to his dad because of it. But, he is helpful, just because he feels guilty for the crappy way he grew up. So, he goes out of his way to do things for people because he wants to make a difference... or at least make up for his wrong doings. He also sort of calls himself romantic... or shy... wait, is that possible? Well, he likes to let a girl know how much he likes her... but he's too shy to start anything up. He's also a huge nerd that just wouldn't mind staying at home and watching Star Trek marathons or reading a book about birds. Something along the lines of that, anyways.

history
Ever since he could remember, Adam had a problem with his anger. He couldn't help it, either. Playing the Nintendo 64 was the first memory. Link had died (or something) so he picked up the remote and began smashing it. To pieces. He even grabbed the actual game system and threw it at the ground. It reduced him to tears in the end and his dad found him and held him close. Adam's dad wasn't the kind of guy to get angry and he wasn't sure why his perfect son was acting like that. He ignored it, though, and kept it from Alessandra because she wouldn't "understand."
Later on when he was a bit older, he threw a chair at his mother because she angered him so much. He left a scar on her cheek and instantly regretted it at that point. They kept most of his anger from his sisters so they weren't afraid of him. That's when they started getting help for their son, because they didn't want their daughters to get hurt. Adam always felt guilty for his actions, but he couldn't control them properly. That's what the therapy dealt with; helping him. And it did to an extent. He found that writing was a very good stress reliever for him, along with reading. Having his mind in another place was settling for him, and he also learned that he had quite the imagination which left his short stories quite interesting. That's how he got into a prestigious art school from his mother's home country. So they moved to France.
His dad was a wealthy man, so it wasn't too hard to put him through school then get him through teacher's college. He ended up teaching at that very school he went to, just so he could manage himself in an environment he knew and loved, teaching the things that sparked his interest in literature. He found his solace in teaching and figured that was his purpose in life; to teach and help other young people with their love of writing in its art form.
