Adam

**Adam**, also known as the **First Man** and **Adam Kadmon**, was the first man created directly by God, also considered the first Edenim, or one of the first, as this information is contradictory. Adam is the earthly personification of God, personifying his beauty, perfection and love, created from clay but with a mighty soul within him, a piece of God Himself.

## Overview

Adam although known as the father of mankind, this was shown to be a result of the belief of the Hebrew inhabitants. In fact, Adam was one of the first human beings to develop the ego, the "I Am" that results from the soul of human beings, which was breathed into the nostrils of early hominids by God. Adam however, was a human different from others, he was a Messiah, probably the first messiah and prophet to ever walk the earth, a special human created by God to guide humans to the path of light.

He was created on the Sixth Day of Creation in the image and likeness of God, androgynous, embodying all male and female aspects of humanity, some legends say that his androgyny represented the masculinity and femininity of God. Considered more than just a human being, but a deity, being 100% man and 100% god, similar to the Last Adam, with a power "little less than the angels". After the Deluge came, the descendants of Adam, Noah and his sons survived the Flood waters, which in turn caused the next generations to come directly from Adam's seed, which made some think that he was the first human to exist.

## Appearance

Adam's original appearance was that of an androgynous being, his body was said to be of supernatural beauty, being practically an earthly version of God in creation. His beauty embodied both male and female beauty, her face was similar to a girl with masculine features, being described as "cute" for angels. Their beauty incorporated both male and female beauty, they had brown hair that went from their head to their legs, their body was curvilinear, but thin and with some muscles, besides possessing male and female sexual characteristics. Heavenly Adam didn't wear normal clothes, but they dressed in light, clothes made of pure light, making them look like not a human, not an angel, but rather the image and likeness of God.

After God split them in two to create Eve, Adam lost his feminine characteristics, but remained a handsome dark-skinned man with brown hair, possessing stiff muscles that appear to be made of metal fiber. According to some angels, if Adam had lived today, he would be considered the most beautiful man on Earth. He and Eve apparently had an angel halo on their heads, which was lost when they fell. Adam was over five meters tall.

## Personality

Adam is an incredibly selfish and irrational person who would rather blame others than take accountability. Despite often being strong or intelligent, he is neither of those things when put into practice. This is best seen with the interactions he had with his wives, Tinshemet and Eve. The former he attempted to force himself upon and prayed for a deity to fix his problems when she denied his advances while the latter he was completely willing to blame for his eating of the forbidden fruit despite the fact he willingly ate it.

## Powers and Abilities

**Animal Manipulation:** Adam can create, shape and manipulate animals, multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. They can command, speak/understand, evolve/devolve, merge with, possess, etc., with all forms of animal life.

**Authority:** Adam has the power of authority; a power that grants them the right to rule, enforce orders, and establish laws within their dominion, even extending to the supernatural realm. This authority bestows upon them total control over their designated domain including supernatural elements, such as mystical forces, living entities, mythical creatures, and otherworldly dimensions that shape their environment.

**Evolutionary Template:** Adam is the foundation/template for the process of evolution for a race, species, etc., essentially making them the building block that evolution was based on. Allowing them to form the basis for evolution either started off as or will possibly end up as at the edge of their evolutionary path.

**Masculinity Aspect Manifestation:** Adam embodies the conceptual attributes, traits, and behaviors of masculinity/manhood and gains power from aspects they represent each reflecting the ideal status of being by their physicality, mentality, spirituality, and so on.

**Power via Supernatural Fruit:** Adam with this power can gain supernatural powers through consuming supernatural fruit. The fruits can have either a positive or negative effect which could be permanent or temporary.

**Prime Being:** Adam is the prime being that originated/created a species and all its variations, making them essentially the most powerful among their race, having utmost power and authority over other beings of its kind. The prime beings do not always possess the power to create life forms, but possess the original or main gene that all others derive from. Adam can even control or destroy their own species.

**True Name Manipulation:** Adam can manipulate 'true names' - an individual's metaphysical essence that sets it apart from everything else. Unlike one's identity, one's true name governs on the most fundamental level, essentially being the basis of everything's uniqueness. From people to individual atoms, each one has a metaphysical identity that creates individuality throughout totality.

## History

### Creation and Early Life

Adam was created by God with the expressed purpose of being one of the first humans and let him live in a garden He specifically created for Adam, the Garden of Eden. The Lord had created many women to be his wife, but none of them were interested in him. The only woman who was interested in Adam was Tinshemet, who he was eventually able to get into a relationship with. However, after Adam attempted to come onto her and she didn't reciprocate, their relationship was broken up. In anger, Adam prayed to God to help him out of this problem, though this seemingly didn't happen.

Adam remained alone after this, he attempted to find a companion among the animals but none of them captivated him like Tinshemet did. This loneliness moved God emotionally, convincing Him to give Adam a new partner who would never leave him. God removed a rib from Adam's body and formed it into a new human being, though she didn't have a name yet. Both of them were allowed to live in the aforementioned garden, but there was one rule; they may eat the fruits from any of the other trees in the garden, but the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge was strictly forbidden.

### Deception

While Adam was tending to the garden, his wife came to him with one of the Forbidden Fruits that appeared to have a bite taken out of it. She explained to him that she was deceived into eating it and if they were to stay together that he should eat the apple as well so that they both get kicked. Adam eventually agreed and took a bite from the apple, damning him and his descendants to never step foot in the Garden again.

Adam then gained the knowledge that God kept from him, from this he realized that he was naked and became embarrassed from it, seeking to cover himself. God appeared in the garden in a human-like form and questioned Adam why he was hiding himself. Adam said that he felt embarrassed due to his lack of clothes, which prompted God to ask if he ate of the tree, because if he didn't he wouldn't have had the knowledge to know what nudity was. Adam relented and said he did, but he blamed his wife for making him eat the fruit, who in turn blamed the serpent Nachash.

All three were promptly punished, Adam's punishment was the very ground he came from, it was cursed to eventually bare his corpse when he dies. Furthermore, he will have to actively hunt and gather for his food rather than receive it from the trees. They were all kicked from the garden by Jophiel and Camael and were barred from entering again by Uriel. It was at this time that Adam's wife was finally named Eve. Raziel gave them a book that he said would help them return home, but the book was later stolen by other angels and thrown into the ocean.

### Cain & Abel

After they were forced out of the garden, Adam and Eve had many children, the most well known were named Cain and Abel. Due to their expulsion from paradise along with as being far removed from any other human civilization, they were forced to fend for themselves. During this time they were constantly questioned by their children where they themselves were born. Every time this happened they would then try to change the subject of the conversation, though they wouldn't be able to do this forever. Finally on one special day, Adam told Cain and Abel that they were created by an entity called God and used to live in a paradise before a mistake they made got them kicked out.

Cain became outraged from this and stormed out of their house, with Abel following close behind. Their disappearance lasted for days, until one day Eve came to Adam to tell him that an angel had told her that Abel had died, and at the hand of Cain no less. Adam could not bear the death of his son Abel, so he blamed Eve and left her lap. Others say that after Abel's death, Eve became angry with Adam and separated from him for 130 years. From Adam and Eve's new relation, two new children, Seth and Norea, were born.

### Latter Years & Death

Adam had lived for a long time even after the death of Abel. At one point Eve and Seth went back to the Garden of Eden to beg for some oil, when they returned Adam believed that they had brought wrath upon them once more.

After centuries of life, Adam eventually died at the age of nine hundred and thirty from old age. His physical mechanism simply wore out; the process of disintegration gradually gained the upper hand over the process of repair, and the inevitable end came as he returned to the state of Dust. Adam was buried with his wife in the center of the temple of divine service that had been built according to their plans shortly after the walls of the colony were completed. From this originated the practice of burying notably pious men and women under the floor of the temples of worship.

## Myths and Legends

## Quotes

*"My son, hear what I have to tell you. I'm old, senile and cranky. I don't have much time to live anymore. Which is ironic, for I was raised never to die, and because of me I cursed you and me and all my descendants. So listen, my beloved son. Always look ahead on the road of life, and don't deviate to evil paths because they seem easier, always go the way of what is right and don't depart from them. And most importantly, always walk with God by your side. Life is already very difficult with him, don't try to complicate it further by moving away from his only shield. He promised that, of our generation, **someone** will be born, and that someone will step on the serpent's head, and one day Eden will return to us. And we will be one with our Father." - Adam before his death to Seth.*

*"On the day that God created man, in the likeness of God he made him. **Man** and **woman** he created them; and he blessed them and called his name Adam in the day they were created." - Genesis 5:1-2.*

*"While I do not necessarily agree with the sentiments of my wife, she is right on some things. Humans exhibit excessive pride and the need to feel superior to each other despite being of the same race. However, there are people out there who try to make this world better for others. Such a sight fills me with joy for it shows me that one day, our descendants might bring back a true Eden upon this world." - Adam in the Apocalypse.*

*"I think we can stand here crying and whining, or try to learn and do the right thing now, can't we?" - Eve to Adam.*

*"What is with this fanaticism of the Americans to transform all the biblical characters into blond Romeos with light skin and blue eyes? It is no longer enough to have created their "American Jesus", now they also do this with Adam. Look, I'll tell you what, Adam was indeed a beautiful man, probably the most beautiful man that ever walked this Earth. But he was black! Adam's skin was dark. He was a beautiful dark-skinned man." - Tinshemut.*
