JOB: Scientist

PERSONALITY:
✓ [ Cheerful , Humble , Intelligent ]
~ [ Loud , Laid Back , Eager ]
✗ [ Childish , Self-indulgent , Erratic ]At first glance, Ads appears to be an intelligent, if not slightly eccentric young man, but after a time his personality can be quite grating. While some don't mind his intensity of emotion and general distaste for authority, others find him to be annoying at best.
If he is interested in something, Ads will jump into it head first, but if not it can take some doing to get him to actually do what he's supposed to do. However, despite his faults, he means well and is quick to apologize if he can tell that he has genuinely upset someone with his behaviour

LIKES: gaudy shirts, fruity drinks, robots, cats,
DISLIKES: being told what to do, cleaning, most veggies

HISTORY:

Youth → Ads grew up in a small apartment on Siciea M4 with his mother who worked as a janitor for a large advertising company (his mother's place of employment was what eventually garnered him his nickname). It wasn't glamorous work but it supported the two of them, and as far as little Adam was concerned, it seemed like it could be a pretty cool gig, getting to wander around those big skyscrapers alone without getting told to scram. On the moon, it wasn't exactly easy to go outside since the atmosphere wasn't breathable, so the only option for exploration was inside.

Below the massive buildings was a comparatively small network designed to allow people to travel from building to building without having to go through any sort of airlock. This was a prime place for those who actually lived on Siciea to sell their wares to buisness people and the employees of the various companies since they were essentially a captive audience. This strange underground market was where Ads spent much of his free time as a youth. It was grimy compared to the shiny towers above ground but it was also more interesting.

Ads also had a fascination with machines from a young age, and he read extensively about electronic and mechanical systems in the hopes that he'd one day be able to understand how they worked.

Adolescence → As a teenager, Ads would spend long hours taking apart and putting back together whatever machine he could get his hands on. From the stove in his house to his friend's old telecom that they let him have, he felt it was essential to do if he wanted to ever be able to build things of his own. It was, as far as he was concerned, the only way to really understand the way something worked. However, his obsession with engineering caused some friction between him and his mother, who just wanted her son to keep his feet on the ground, worried that Ads would be heartbroken when faced with a financial reality that meant he'd have to pick up a job similar to the one she had always worked.

Regardless of his mother cautioning him, Ads was never discouraged, and between school, his social life, and a part-time job selling fried foods in the underground, he devoted his spare time to his passion for machines.

Adulthood

→The problem with tunnels is that they collapse, which was exactly what happened one day while Ads was going home from work. Luckily he was close enough to the entrance of one of the corporate buildings to just duck in before the doors closed off but in an attempt to grab someone else and pull them in, his arm was crushed between the heavy metal plates as they snapped shut. A safety feature needed to keep the air in, in case of a tragedy like a tunnel collapse, but the pressure of it may as well have taken his arm clean off. This sparked his leap into robotics, and over a period of about two years Ads worked tirelessly to create and 'perfect' the first version of his prosthetic arm. Over the last few years, he's been tweaking it nearly nonstop, troubleshooting as he comes across problems. Certainly though, despite its flaws, it's better than having no arm.

When he heard about the Penumbra and the plan to find Eden, it sounded like a perfect excuse to get off of Siciea M4, something which he had always dreamed of doing. Without giving himself any time to talk himself out of it, Ads packed his bags, said goodbye to his mother, and boarded the first ship headed for New Gaia
