Addam Saint Nicholas

Addam, by oblivionsdream

Ella Saint Nicholas (Sister)

Christian Saint Nicholas (Brother)

Scion of the Crusader Throne and second surviving son of Lady Justice. His status granted Addam with vast wealth and power. Growing up, Addam took care of his younger brother, Quinn, who was born a sickly child. The two became like father and son rather than brothers.

## **Appearance**

Tanned and freckled, Addam has burgundy eyes and sand-colored hair that he wears in a short pony-tail. He is well-muscled, fit, and over six feet tall. Others consider him very handsome, with beautifully-colored eyes.

A green-brown Celtic tattoo covers his arm and shoulder, with some tattoos visible partly along his waist. Thanks to his love of dancing, Addam has developed callouses on his feet. He speaks with a Slavic accent.

Addam is missing a hand from the wrist down.

## **Personality**

Addam is charismatic, self-assured, and chivalrous.

Addam has a kind, friendly personality, with the result that he is well-liked by others. He is said to be amorous, with many casual boyfriends and girlfriends. While he also has many friends, he finds it difficult to be especially close to them because so few accept his brother Quinn. Addam is entirely devoted to Quinn above all else, and feels loyalty to those who treat Quinn with thoughtfulness and respect.

As the son of Justice, Addam had an extremely privileged upbringing. He takes advantage of the wealth and opportunities he was born to, sometimes rather ostentatiously, but he also strives to avoid acting entitled. He volunteers and engages in charitable works; he and his brother Christian run a non-profit that puts on free concerts.

## **Background**

Addam was born in Irkutsk, Siberia, after the fall of Atlantis and while New Atlantis was being built. There he developed a Slavic accent, like his mother. As a child, his family went to the Westlands for a week every summer growing up, with the result that he grew to love the region.

Fifteen years ago, Lady Justice gave birth to her youngest son Quinn, who was born sickly and premature. Because she did not bond with the infant, Addam essentially took over his brother's care, raising him. They were inseparable from then on. Five years later, Lady Justice decided that Addam should spend time seeing to family affairs in Irkutsk. Quinn reacted poorly, but was quite adept at wrapping Addam around his little finger. Addam ultimately spent 1/10 of his trust fund to install a private portal so that he could spend the weekends with Quinn at the family estate.

As a devoted music fan, he collects music and related media. He still occasionally occupies rooms in the Justice estate, but Addam also owns an apartment in Edgemere, in a converted church. Together with three other Moral Certainties scions, he started a business called Moral Confidence, LLC in LeperCon.

### *The Last Sun*

Addam cooperatively owned an investment firm with Ashton Saint Gabriel, Geoffrey Saint Talbot, and Michael Saint Talbot. The business partners fought over riskier investments. When Addam was reluctant to take these risks, Ashton kidnapped him with a plan on replacing Addam with Ella Saint Nicholas and maintain the Justice Court's connections. Addam was rescued by Rune Saint John, who would later become his main love interest. He would then accompany Rune in defeating Ashton and killing the lich Ashton summoned. After which, Addam bought out his remaining business partners to become the sole owner of the company.

### *The Hanged Man*

When traveling through the portal into this pocket dimension, it closes before Addam is able to cross through it entirely. The portal's closing severs one of his hands from the wrist down. Despite this, he manages to enter through the portal, bringing with him a mass sigil with a healing spell stored inside of it. This use of this spell causes Addam's wrist wound to completely heal, as though he had never had a hand in the first place. In the epilogue, it is revealed that Quinn bought him a prosthetic sigil hand made of bronze.

***The Hourglass Throne***

Rune and Addam are thrown into a time-loop of the night of the fall of the Sun court. This sends Rune into a severe breakdown, wherein Addam desperately tries to calm him down. Rune tells Addam in no uncertain terms that if Addam wanders further into this loop, Rune will take his own life Rune brings them to a different loop, a restaurant in New York City, though there are many inconsistencies, such as a Vadik Amberson is seen to be present. They come to the conclusion that Lady Time has sheltered in this loop before

## **Abilities**

**Magical Abilities**

With his Aspect upon him, Addam appears like a medieval knight with glowing armor. In this form, he wields "holy" light. If he carries a weapon, such as a sword, bless-fire will shimmer across the blade.

In sanctums, Addam dances in order to get into the proper headspace for filling sigils.

Common spells he uses includes: Telekinesis, Healing, and Earth.

## **Items**

### Sigils

* Platinum discs from the family armory that he wears on his belt
* A prosthetic hand given to him by Quinn

## **Relationships**

### Rune Saint-John

Addam shamelessly flirts with Rune after being rescued by him, teasing him and calling him "hero". After the second incident with the Lich, when he witnessed Rune reliving his traumatic assault, he apologized profusely to him for his forwardness, though Rune forgave him with a kiss on the cheek. Addam believes that they are *Tallas*.

### Quinn Saint-Nicholas

Quinn is Addam's younger brother. They are extremely close, as Addam had basically raised him. Addam often excuses Quinn's more questionable behavior, and is hesitant to level discipline toward Quinn.
