## Backstory

Adam "Accel" Carter is the cocky and arrogant leader of the Street Breed. His roots lie in that team, all the way back to 2014 when the World Race was first hosted, and he got a hold of his first vehicle; the Pontiac Rageous. While he may have lost it to the Wave Rippers, he followed the trend of most of the drivers and joined the Teku in early 2015. Following Tone's death in June 2017 and Nolo's unstable mental state, Adam became the Teku leader. Despite this, he only got to know basic info about most of the drivers. But when he was forced to work with both his team and the Metal Maniacs during the Acceledrome incident from October through November, he learned the advantages and downsides that every member of the teams in the Acceledrome-- including the Gearheads --had. After winning the Ultimate Race, he decided to reform the Street Breed alongside Vincent Aewar. And now that Tezla's back, he's going to have to bring in new blood and rediscover the talent that let him win the Ultimate Race.

## History

Adam's legacy is rooted to the one key moment that brought him to the Acceledrome; the Clash on the Coast. This race was supposed to settle the rivalry between the Metal Maniacs and Teku for good. It sparked Adam's rivalry with Taki Ide, which would later be the one factor that kept his team from being united. During the race, Adam used the last of his Nitrox² to gain an advantage, but it was quickly nullified when Vin pulled between Adam's Pontiac Rageous and Thomas "Tri" Schmitt's Hollowback, causing both of the leaders to crash. Later on, when GIG confronted the drivers about the situation with the Racing Drones, Adam seemed disinterested at first, but was persuaded when he found out that the Drones had the Wheel of Power. As such, he got into Pontiac Rageous and sped off towards the Acceledrome. On the way there, it was revealed that Adam had sabotaged Christopher "CJ" Lloyd's music sometime prior to the Clash on the Coast. After CJ tossed the disc out the window, he made a 180 to grab it, calling it "quality tunes". When Adam arrived at the Acceledrome, he suddenly realized that High Voltage, which Kris Acerra was towing, was still carrying his cats, Pablo and Vivian. He put the problem aside for the time being, focusing more on the Racing Realms that Dr. Tezla was describing. At this point, Adam was probably most acquainted with another World Race driver, Rythian Dallas.

### Storm Realm to Lava Realm

When the Storm Realm first opened, Adam may not have known what to expect, but he was prepared for nearly anything. Before the realm began, Adam made it clear that he was not going to put up with Vin, calling him "worse than Kurt". Adam began playing music before the drivers even made it to the start of the realm, the start of a trend that would continue for almost every realm Adam drove in. At the beginning of the Storm Realm, during the free-fall, Tri told Adam that he used his toothbrush during the World Race, putting Adam's mindset into nothing more than crashing Tri. However, this did not work as intended, as Adam was easily dodged by Tri. Adam then proceeded to rant about parallels to the World Race. Later on in the realm, when the drivers were on the sideways spiral, Adam connected the golden track and stormy sky together and asked if this realm was "like, Stardust Speedway?". This prompted Taki to remark that he would ram Adam off the track if Adam brought up "those stupid games". Adam proceeded to tell Taki that he was only mad because he was "too slow", and use Nitrox to overtake Taki. As the drivers entered the loop, Adam and Taki were battling for third place. Adam claimed that Taki's vehicle, Synkro, was a "cheap copy of Tone's vehicle". Vin later butted into the conversation, stating that rotaries may not be reliable, but they were "better than that piston crap". Adam proceeded to use two canisters of Nitrox at once to overtake Vin. When Adam first encountered the Racing Drones,he called them "a step up from CLYP" and acknowledged how threatening they could be. When Vin started blasting the Sanic theme, Adam retaliated by playing Totino's, being the first expression of his "meme stash". Adam was barely able to avoid the Slam Ram upon its first use, but still managed it. However, Adam's Pontiac Rageous soon had a head-on collision with a blast of ball lightning, shorting out its systems, breaking its front windshield, causing it to flip over multiple times, and knocking Adam out. While Taki sped by it and smirked, Rythian used his Chrysler Thunderbolt's rear grappling hook to tow Adam out of the realm. Later on, Adam awoke and immediately attempted to make a pun about lightning, but to no avail. At the end of the realm, Adam was unhooked and he exited the portal himself. After the realm, he decided that the Pontiac Rageous wasn't fit for any more realms, and chose to use High Voltage as his main vehicle instead. However, before he truly ditched it, he pulled a kamikaze on Tri, jumping out at the last second and getting Hollowback T-boned. Adam and Taki's rivalry spiked when Taki began making remarks, calling Tone a crummy leader and Adam crummier, and calling Adam a "damn idiot". Later on, the argument was sparked again, with Vin joining in this time and Tri leaving the argument. Adam points out both times he crashed were not his fault. Taki claims that Adam has never raced professionally, and Adam points out that he drove in the World Race. During the mess, Adam had sabotaged Vin's music in the same way he did with CJ's earlier. Despite Adam's disapproval of Taki using Synkro, he thinks that Rythian's Spectyte redesign is a good reinvision. As soon as the drivers entered the Swamp Realm, Adam began having suspension issues in the rear wheels of High Voltage; Taki had sabotaged the vehicle. Adam attempts to crash Taki, but fails to do so and ends up left behind. However, Adam had prepared for such an occasion, and re-corrects the suspension with the click of a button. He proceeds to use Jump Jets to catch up to Taki and get onto his path, exclaiming "'Sup?". Taki complains that "everything is a fail-safe" for Adam, who replies that it's for a reason. Adam quickly takes a left split, diffusing the argument. RD-L1 is gaining on Adam from behind, and Tri suddenly meets up with Adam through a meet-up in the tracks. Adam rams Tri into the guardrail on the track, but Thomas retaliates and knocks Adam onto a split path, over the water. Adam quickly stops, noticing something in the water; Ballistik. He inspects the vehicle, grappling to it and pulling it out of the water, finding that the glass has been punched through and the driver is gone. Adam comes to the realization that someone, or something, has Banjee Castillo. Adam takes Tri's path, and is lagging behind at first, until he figures out the "groove" of the track, and starts catching up to Tri, until Taki's path suddenly merges onto Adam and Tri's, with Synkro blocking Adam's intended line. Adam, however, uses his jump jets to get ahead of both Hollowback and Synkro. Synkro proceeds to charge into the rear of High Voltage, causing Adam to lose some ground. However, Adam quickly regains control and speeds ahead, trying to regain his position as well. As the drivers approach the Swamp Beast, Adam comes to the realization that he's going to have to draft with the driver ahead of him, CJ, in order to avoid the vines attempting to grab the vehicles. However, that becomes irrelevant when Tri spins Adam out and steals his drafting position. The other drivers end up caught by the vines. Adam has no choice but to make it to the end without drafting. Lani says that he needs to wait for another driver, but Tezla points out that if he waits, the drones will win. Adam points out that he can make it to the end, as long as he "stays in the groove". Adam is nearing the end, but then spins out on a turn. However, his vehicle has AWD on its side, and Adam is able to recover control with the assistance of Jump Jets. Adam punches the Nitrox and speeds through the portal, re-appearing in the Acceledrome safely, and causing the vines to retreat. Adam had won the realm, and as such, earned the Swamp Realm Accelecharger. After learning the term, he exclaims to Tri that he's "got a 'charger, too", as a callback to when Tri was bragging about the Dodge Charger he had. Adam waves the Accelecharger at Vin and asks how "Team Rotary" was holding up. Some time later, CJ strikes a deal with Adam, to form a two-man alliance. While Adam is hesitant at first, due to the fate of "Team Rotary", he eventually gives in after feeling sorry for how CJ lost his win because of Tri. Adam wasn't called into the Cavern Realm, he was "stuck there with Taki". However, he went to the control room anyways to help out in any way he could. Adam points out that RD-L1 is using a different vehicle now, RD-03. When realm bats swarmed the drivers, Adam seemed to be oblivious, pointing out random trivia like "stalagmites cannot actually be used as baseball bats". When he actually found out about the realm bats, when CJ pointed out that bats use sound waves to communicate, he continued to be irrelevant, wondering if vaporwave could stop the bats. He proceeded to ask if Tri was actually Knuckles the Echidna after he said "oh no". After the realm, Adam pointed out that Accelechargers should not be used as computer chips following Tri's GameCube exploding after he placed the Cavern Realm Accelecharger into it. Adam is called into the Lava Realm when it opens. When Taki suddenly bursts into the Acceledrome after temporarily disappearing, Adam blurts out "For god's sake, not him again!". As soon as Adam enters the realm, he makes a pun, which is interrupted by Taki stealing his spotlight and blaring music, much louder than Accel's typical volume. As Taki attempts to overtake Bassline, Adam suddenly slows down and attempts to ram into him, but ends up sent into a hard spin. Despite this, he's able to grapple on to Synkro. He eventually is able to recover from the spin, unhooks his line and follows CJ onto the lower path on a split, this one being shorter but closer to the lava. Vin follows closely behind Adam, and the other drivers take the higher path on the split. All three drivers on the lower path have their tires begin overheating. CJ attempts to combat this by using armored tires, preforming a slingshot drift past Adam. However, a turn comes up and CJ is unable to switch his tires back in time, causing Rivited to fly off the track, barrel rolling in mid air. Adam quickly halts and launches his grapple hook, latching on to Rivited in the nick of time. Adam risks his engine exploding, by using jump jets to lift Rivited back onto the track. The split returns to the path, but it ends up being too late. Despite the fact Taki had caused a huge crash involving him, RD-04, and Miles McCutcheon's Straight Pipes, an RD-06 had managed to slip by and claim the win. Adam eats lunch and then decides to finish up a Lamborghini prototype that he had been working on. After 6 hours, Tezla calls a driver's meeting, explaining the new tires that can be modified into tires for almost any terrain, remodeled from RD-04's spare tire that was knocked off during the crash Taki caused. Adam jokes around and asks if the tires are optimized for "inside toasters on a rainbow" terrain. Tezla assures him that they aren't. Tezla then introduces the EDR, which Adam is not too fond of, because the Teku "don't escape, we drive".
