Adam is an antagonist, then later one of the deuteragonists in Chaos Before Apocalypse.
He is currently the second-in-command & heir of his mother's organisation, The Quantum Order, having been chomping at the bit for an opportunity to be a part of it under the shadow of his brother Zeke. After his whole angstfest & redemption arc, he later leaves the Order to be a member of Team Chaos, upon a confrontation with & invitation by Emiko.
❤️Personality
Ambitious, ruthless, raw. Adam is extremely explosive with his emotions & rarely holds back on what he's feeling: & what he's feeling is usually anger, hatred, & angst. He despises the type of people who'll try to hide what they really are; so he doesn't hide.
He's brutally honest, isn't afraid to call anyone out on their bull, & doesn't shy away from letting everyone know how freaking mad he is. On the flip-side of the same coin; he doesn't suppress his other emotions, like sadness or joy, either. His expressions are easy to read.
However, his tendency to zero-in on the specific causes of his emotions, also means that he often misses the bigger picture; which lands him in trouble more often than not. He gets distracted when he revels in joy, blind-sided when he wallows in sorrow, and ignorant when he's angry.
Adam is more vulnerable & scared than he'd like to admit. That's the one emotion he holds no qualms about hiding; his fear & confusion. He doesn't know how to handle everything suddenly changing & moving beyond his ability to keep up with it; so he's stuck himself firmly in one place, just to keep some semblance of familiarity & comfort.

Magic (Telepathy)
Everyone has magic with the potential to do literally anything if they trained hard enough. Since young, Adam's been slightly more adept at mind-related magic than most; having the ability to read minds with relative ease, but only if he maintains physical contact with the other person. He needs to actually touch someone to read their mind, & the access to someone else's thoughts disappears upon breaking that contact. It's still a handy skill, literally; though he's careful to wear gloves most of the time.
Later on, after joining Team Chaos, he learns to temporarily transfer this ability to others- enabling mutual telepathic communication upon touch, to whoever's willing. He's also eventually able to connect everyone's minds like a six-way telepathic call for ease of communication in the finale, but it takes a large strain on him.
QuantumWand
Adam owns a modified version of a QuantumWand, specially crafted & given to him by Persophia, which allows him to cast a larger variety of more advanced & powerful spells with more ease & convenience than if he did it bare-handedly. Unbeknownst to him is that the QuantumWand is weakening part of his own magic, ensuring that he can't read Persophia's mind. The only way for him to completely restore his ability is to destroy the wand.
💛Relationships
Zeke: Even when they were kids, things were always tense between the two brothers, growing increasingly competitive with their mother's encouragement- at the same time, however, Zeke was parentified & expected to keep a constant eye on Adam despite only being about a year apart in age. Adam resented Zeke for being their mother's favourite; while Zeke thought himself as high-&-mightily above Adam's childish anger, while they both competed for their mother's approval & respect; fearful of abandonment, while at the same time growing over-reliant on one another. Neither of them ever listened to each other's woes, & both grew frustrated at the other for never listening.
They do love each other as family, deep down; but it's under layers upon layers of bitterness, anger, & hate.
After Zeke leaves, Adam just... snaps. He sees it as a betrayal of their family, causing all the years of resentment to bubble to the surface, raw & unfiltered. Zeke, meanwhile, feels immense regret at leaving Adam behind, and wants nothing more than to reconnect- but he still doesn't yet see Adam as a fully equal person, instead viewing himself as the heroic saviour who should bear responsibility for cleansing Adam's evil.
If things are ever going to get better between them, they need to learn how to stop making it all about themselves, & listen.
Persophia: Desperate for his mother's approval, especially now that his golden-boy-mother's-favourite brother's up & left, leaving him with an opportunity to take his place; Adam will just blindly do & listen to whatever Persophia says, without question. He genuinely believes that Persophia has his & Zeke's best interests at heart, justifying her & his own evil actions as doing so for the greater good; not realising that her true intentions are to end the world, rather than conquer it (Which... is still definitely evil, but conquering is probably less so than just destroying everything.). Besides; he's a touch telepath! Even with him wearing gloves; his mother can get very physically affectionate, often hugging & ruffling his hair & patting his head. Surely, he'd know if his mother were to lie to him, wouldn't he?
He soaks in Persophia's displays of affection, taking in every scrap of it he can get. ...Even when she insults & undermines him; she just... wants to push him to improve & become stronger, right? Right?
Unaware that Persophia is fully capable of lying to him despite his telepathy, because of his QuantumWand weakening part of his powers; Adam doesn't realise that Persophia's been keeping him in the dark, by twisting the facts & omitting important information- such as truth behind the Reaper Hound experiments, or the true circumstances behind Zeke leaving the Quantum Order.
🔬Random Facts
His name was originally Aiden before I changed it to Adam, so there'd be more etymological consistency with Zeke.
Never had a father; he & Zeke are Persophia's clone babies.
