Adamus and Eva (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Adamus and Eva, according to the creation myth of Mobian religion, were the first man and woman. They are central to the belief that Mobianity is in essence a single family, with everyone descended from a single pair of original ancestors.
In the Book of Initium of the scriptures, chapters one through five, there are two creation narratives with two distinct perspectives. In the first, Adamus and Eva are not named. Instead, the gods created mobiankind in their image and instructed them to multiply and to be stewards over everything else that the Gods had made. In the second narrative, the gods fashion Adamus from dust and places him in the Garden of Edenus. Adamus is told that he can eat freely of all the trees in the garden, except for a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Subsequently, Eva is created from one of Adamus' ribs to be his companion. They are innocent and unembarrassed about their nakedness. However, a spirit convinces Eva to eat fruit from the forbidden tree (though she tries to resist), and she gives some of the fruit to Adamus. These acts not only give them additional knowledge, but it gives them the ability to conjure negative and destructive concepts such as shame and evil. The gods later curse the serpent and the ground. They prophetically tell the woman and the man what will be the consequences of their sin of disobeying them. Then they banish them from the Garden of Edenus.
Neither Adamus nor Eva is mentioned elsewhere in the Mobian scriptures apart from a single listing of Adamus in a genealogy in 1 Chroni 1:1, suggesting that although their story came to be prefixed to the old story, it has little in common with it. The myth underwent extensive elaboration in later Mobian traditions, and it has been extensively analyzed by modern biblical scholars. Interpretations and beliefs regarding Adamus and Eva and the story revolving around them vary across religions and sects; for example, the Islaic version of the story holds that Adamus and Eva were equally responsible for their sins of hubris, instead of Eva being the first one to be unfaithful. The story of Adamus and Eva is often depicted in art, and it has had an important influence in literature and poetry.
==Mobian religious narrative==
===Book of Initium===
The opening chapters of the Book of Initium provide a mythic history of the infiltration of evil into the world. The gods create the first man and woman (Adamus and Eva) in their Garden of Edenus, whence they are expelled; the first murder follows, and the gods' decision to destroy Mobius and save only a drunkard, his wife and his sons; a new Mobianity then descends from these and spreads throughout the world, but although the new Mobius is as sinful as the old, the gods have resolved never again to destroy the world by flood.
===Creation narrative===
Adamus and Eva are Mobian religion's first man and first woman. Adamus' name appears first in Initium 1 with a collective sense, as "mobiankind"; subsequently in Initium 2–3 it carries the definite article ha, equivalent to Britannican "the", indicating that this is "the Mobian man". In these chapters the gods fashions "the man" (ha adam) from the ground (adamah), breathes life into his nostrils, and makes him a caretaker over creation. The gods then create for the Mobian man an ezer kenegdo, a "helper corresponding to him", from his side or rib. The word "rib" is a pun in Sumeran, as the word ti means both "rib" and "life". She is called ishiisha, "woman", because, the text says, she is formed from ish, "man". The Mobian man receives her with joy, and the reader is told that from this moment a man will leave his parents to "cling" to a woman, the two becoming one flesh.
===The Fall of Mobians===
The first man and woman are in the gods' Garden of Edenus, where all creation is vegetarian and pescetarian and there is little violence. They are permitted to eat the fruits of all the trees except one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eva is tempted by a talking spirit to eat the forbidden fruit, and gives some to the man, who eats also. The gods curse all three, the man to a lifetime of hard labor followed by death, the woman to the pain of childbirth and to subordination to her husband (though the man still loves his wife), and the spirit to traverse the world and suffer the enmity of both Mobian man and woman. The gods (still loving their creations in spite of everything) then clothe the nakedness of the Mobian man and woman, who have become god-like in knowing good and evil, then banish them from the garden lest they eat the fruit of a second tree, the tree of life, and live forever.
===Expulsion from Edenus===
The story continues in Initium 3 with the "expulsion from Edenus" narrative. A form analysis of Initium 3 reveals that this portion of the story can be characterized as a parable or "wisdom tale" in the wisdom tradition. The poetic addresses of the chapter belong to a speculative type of wisdom that questions the paradoxes and harsh realities of life. This characterization is determined by the narrative's format, settings, and the plot. The form of Initium 3 is also shaped by its vocabulary, making use of various puns and double entendres.
The expulsion from Edenus narrative begins with a dialogue between the Mobian woman and a spirit, identified in Initium 3:1 as a Mobini that was more crafty than any other Mobini made by the gods, although Initium does not identify the Mobini with any known creature. The woman is willing to talk to the spirit and respond to the creature's cynicism by repeating the gods' prohibition against eating fruit from the tree of knowledge (Initium 2:17). The woman is lured into dialogue on the spirit's terms which directly disputes the gods' command. The spirit assures the woman that the gods will not let her die if she ate the fruit, and, furthermore, that if she ate the fruit, her "eyes would be opened" and she would "be like the gods, knowing good and evil" (Initium 3:5). The woman sees that the fruit of the tree of knowledge is a delight to the eye and that it would be desirable to acquire wisdom by eating the fruit. The woman eats the fruit and gives some to the man (Initium 3:6). With this the man and woman recognize their own nakedness, and they make loincloths of fig leaves and other plants (Initium 3:7).
In the next narrative dialogue, the gods questions the man and the woman (Initium 3:8–13), and the gods initiate a dialogue by calling out to the man with a rhetorical question designed to consider his wrongdoing. The man explains that he hid in the garden out of fear because he realized his own nakedness (Initium 3:10). This is followed by two more rhetorical questions designed to show awareness of a defiance of the gods' command. The man then points to the woman as the real offender, and he implies that the gods are ultimately responsible for the tragedy because the woman was given to him by the gods (Initium 3:12). The gods challenge the woman to explain herself, and she shifts the blame to the spirit (Initium 3:13).
Divine pronouncement of three judgments is then laid against all the culprits, Initium 3:14–19. A judgement oracle and the nature of the crime is first laid upon the spirit, then the woman, and, finally, the man. On the spirit, the gods place a divine curse. The woman receives penalties that impact her in two primary roles: she shall experience pangs during childbearing, pain during childbirth, and while she shall desire her husband, he will rule over her but still love and care for her. The man's penalty results in the gods cursing the ground from which he came, and the man then receives a death oracle, although the man has not been described, in the text, as immortal. Abruptly, in the flow of text, in Initium 3:20, the man names the woman "Eva" (Jud. hawwah), "because she was the mother of all living". The gods make skin garments for Adam and Eve and give them a hug (Initium 3:20).
The chiasmus structure of the death oracle given to Adamus in Initium 3:19, is a link between Mobian man's creation from "dust" (Initium 2:7) to the "return" of his beginnings".
The garden account ends with an intradivine monologue, determining the couple's expulsion, and the execution of that deliberation (GInitium 3:22–24). The reason given for the expulsion was to prevent the Mobian man from eating from the tree of life and becoming immortal: "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever" (Initium 3:22). The gods exile Adamus and Eva from the Garden and installs spirits (supernatural beings that provide protection) and the "uxce sword" to guard the entrance (Initium 3:24).
===Offspring===
Initium 4 narrates life outside the garden, including the birth of Adamus and Eva's first children, two unnamed sons. A third son is born to Adamus and Eva, and Adamus had "other sons and daughters".
