Adrian Black

Creator: Mageheart
Roleplay: Defenders of the Dust City
Nickname: Adrian

Name: Adrian Black

Age: Seventeen

Character Type: Gifted

Their city of residence: Philadelphia

How they enter the Dust City: He dreams that he is in an open space with countless doors connected to no walls. Each of the doors is elaborate with various adornments, but the one that he goes through is the simple wooden one in the center. He walks through it and ends up in the Dust City.

Powers: He can change his form at will, though it often changes when he's not paying attention.

Skills: Since he was little, he had an easy time reading people's emotions. This eventually involved into him becoming quite the good actor. It's easier for him to copy someone's mannerisms.

Appearance: His normal form is tall. The bangs of his short black hair typically hide the majority of his dark brown eyes. He's usually seen wearing dark jeans, sneakers and black t-shirts. He's almost always wearing his leather jacket.

Personality: Despite his knack for acting, Adrian is quite shy and introverted. Being among large groups of people terrify him, and he struggles to figure out how he's supposed to act when he's himself. He relies on what he's seen other people do in situations that require him to be more confident and loud. However, moments like that are rare ones. The combination of his silence with his appearance leads to strangers thinking he's quiet intimidating.

History: Outside of Dust City, his life has been relatively normal. He grew up with his mother and father as their only child. His family moved to Philadelphia because of his mother's job when he was about to enter high school, so the one that he currently attends isn't the one that he had been planning on going to. Adrian had been an active member of his old school's drama club, but felt intimidated by his new peers and hasn't performed in a play since he moved.

He first found the Dust City when he was ten years old. When he finally found someone - a Lucid who was older than he was - who tried explain to him what was going on, Adrian struggled to comprehend it all, and fled.

It was only a short time after that meeting that his form shifted for the first time. It added to the sense of terror that he already felt. After a year of what he deemed "nightmares", Adrian finally got a grasp on his shapeshifting abilities. He's loved the Dust City ever since then.

Other: His parents regularly take him to see musicals because of his love for them, though Wicked is his favorite. He went to see it on Broadway once and is dreaming of the day when he'll see it again.
