## Bio

Adam Oliver was a Virginian born noble of the Oliver House. For most of his childhood his days were spent learning how to fight from the various tutors his parents sent his way, going to school and learning about finer arts as well as the art of commanding others into battle. As a noble he was expected to serve in His Majesty's armed forces as a Knight upon coming of the age of twenty one.

During his childhood Adam most enjoyed playing in the various cave systems of Virginia; exploring them close to the surface as to not provoke the ire of whatever lurked down below. His favorite studies in his schooling, aside from the various weapons training he received, was learning about the history of any nation he could find. Adam learned quickly that humanity's past was riddled with war which ultimately brought him to the conclusion that he would, inevitably, be forced into battle. As a result he learned with a fervor how to hide, take cover, remain stoic under pressure and perhaps most importantly; how to shoot back properly.

As time progressed Adam became more and more transfixed with the idea of self-reliance as well as ultimately helping others so long as he was able to do so. With his already busy schedule he stacked volunteering for local empire-run homeless shelters so that others didn't have to suffer through as much hardship; paradoxically to his self-reliant nature. As a teenager Adam worked over sixteen hours a day; six spent at school, six spent at shelters as a volunteer and four hours spent at home with his parent's tutors. Fortunately for Adam he was trained by some of the best riflemen and swordsmen in the known universe at the time and took to always carrying his broadsword with him both as a mark of pride for his noble house as well as for personal protection and for the protection of others despite being accompanied by a royal guard on most of his outings.

Inevitably, the Hegemony began to strike deeper and deeper into humanity's controlled space and Adam prepared himself for the worst; redoubling his training efforts and even helping to train some of the commoners with what he had learned. Many took to him quickly for both fear of their own lives given Adam's abysmal charisma as a leader. However; he had also been instructed tactically. Though few would follow his leadership skills specifically Adam was the local militia's commander as his tactical superiority gave them the best odds of survival.

When he reached his teenage years Adam grew an aversion to pistol-type weaponry in favor of the harder punching power of rifles though he did not enjoy the heavy weapons training for its lack of mobility. His particular combat style as an individual favored fourth generation warfare; like and mobile strikes while avoiding the majority of enemy forces in favor of drawing them into a long and brutal campaign that they would succumb to with time. When the Hegemony pushed past Verdun it solidified the concept into his head that the war with them would not be won with massive numbers of boots on the ground but instead precision surgical strikes via the use of commando teams and precision air strikes.

Due to being so involved with both the community as well as academia, Adam grew up with few friends that knew him well and few friends in general. This loneliness eventually vanished as Adam was drafted into the Alliance Marine Corps; where he serves to this day... at merely sixteen years of age.

## Description

Adam stands six foot three inches in height and weighs a decidedly light two hundred thirty pounds. His eyes are a deep, dark green and his hair is mostly brown with a few scant blonde pockets here and there though not enough to be considered sandy blonde. Like most Marines his skin is exceptionally pale compared to the norm due to his time spent in space. Most people who see Adam readily describe him as 'lanky' or 'gangly' and rightfully so. In proportion to his torso Adam's limbs are exceptionally long though still within what is considered normal for a human being.
