Adam

## Description:

Adam, the First Man, is a reality-bending humanoid imbued with primordial and pseudo-divine power, the extents of which are not known as of the time of writing. Originally the partner of Lilith and then the husband of Eve, Adam was created by God as the first proto-human male. Currently, Adam serves on the JPCU Board of Directors.

Adam appears to be a man of Middle Eastern descent with brown skin, brown eyes, and short black hair. Adam stands at approximately five (5) foot five (5) inches tall, and weighs in at around one hundred and forty (140) pounds. Adam's true age is unknown; however, dating of the Great Flood to around three hundred thousand (~300,000) BCE provides reason that Adam, Lilith, Eve, and their children are far older than anyone previously thought.

Adam's longevity and infinite lifespan had granted him with unprecedented knowledge of history from various perspectives; being a transcendent evolution of mankind, Adam is more intelligent than most people, but does not consider his contributions to the JPCU and beyond to be of intellectual importance. Adam's philosophical knowledge and self-awareness far surpasses most mortals and Immortals alike; he always has a wise statement to declare in response to almost anything, and is rarely caught off-guard or by surprise.

Despite being incredibly old, Adam's knowledge of technology is relatively expansive; having learned his lesson many years ago, it is simply easier for him to go along with humanity's technological development than to try (and fail) to resist it. Adam avoids interacting with technology whenever possible, feeling it unnecessary in his life, but encourages its development and use by humans.

Adam's magical knowledge is encyclopedic, going back to the beginning of the Age of Man when Magic was first properly codified and human gods made manifest. Adam rarely makes use of this knowledge, however, and is not a spellcaster in the common sense of the term; instead, Adam is a reality-bender, imbued with primordial energy and divine power from his creation and actions over the millennia of his long life. These powers are strong and well-trained, negating Adam's need for most things as he can simply conjure them from thin air and bend reality to his will; Magic is of no use to someone who has transcended its use, which also makes him immune to Magic effects if he so desires.

Adam's first wife, Lilith, rebelled against him and was thrown into Hell for her trespasses; Adam has demonstrated considerable remorse in recent years over his treatment of Lilith, although he claims that all attempts at making amends have been met with violent hostility. Adam made Lilith pregnant before her fall, and she birthed Cain from the failed partnership. Adam was then made to marry Eve by God, who forged her from one of Adam's ribs. Adam and Eve then bore two (2) sons together, Abel and Seth. Cain killed Abel, leaving a cursed (and Vampiric) Cain and an empowered Seth (via primordial/divine power passed down from Adam and Eve) to populate the Earth alongside Adam and Eve's innumerable and unnamed additional children.

### Personality:

Adam has maintained a singular goal over the course of his long life: spread and protect mankind from God, from outside forces, and from itself. After his fall from grace and removal from the Garden of Eden by God, Adam obtained a deep hatred for God, which manifested as a will to become totally independent from Him. Knowing that God would try to wipe out mankind again and that the Garden was a rigged test, having learned of [REDACTED] and the previous iterations of earth from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil , Adam sought to protect mankind from God and [REDACTED] and other external forces through the study of Magic and advancement of mankind. To Adam, a single human soul is invaluable and, feeling responsible for Original Sin and the events that transpired as a result of it, is willing to sacrifice himself if it means saving even a single life.

Adam's wisdom and long years have eroded his temper and given him a deep level of patience that far surpasses most mortals; only certain topics have any chance of making Adam angry. Adam is incredibly humble and ascetic by nature, understanding his small place in the wider story of mankind and accepting the meaningless nature of life; Adam cares not for himself, only for mankind as a whole.
