Personality:[/size][/font]
everyone is complicated when it comes to personality, and Adam is no exception. It seems as if he almost has two personalities: one for his human form and one for his Beast form. However, despite whichever form Beast is in always gentle and loving to Belle.
In his human form, Adam is the sophisticated gentleman he was born to be, though he isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty if his subjects need a hand with patching a roof or something. So in this respect he has learned to be helpful and kind King. He will gladly help someone with a problem if he can and can occasionally be found playing with the children of his Kingdom. When dealing with suck-up advisors and whatnot Adam likes to show them that he’s in charge by making them speak on the spot or some such thing. Adam has learned the true meaning of love – not just the romantic type – but with the love for his subjects and his servants. Adam has managed to retain his animal senses Overall, Adam, when in his human form, is a kind and gentle person who sometimes is oblivious to people’s emotional states.
In Beast form, he has an animal rage which is only noticeable when he’s angry or frightened. It actually takes him ten minutes to calm down. When in battle he is truly a beast, batting away and ripping soldiers apart with his bare paws. It has been noted that Adam becomes more withdrawn and grumpy when in Beast form, and definitely more stubborn.
Eyes:[/size] Brown
Hair:[/size] Brown, mid-length
Physique:[/size]
Adam has two forms: his human form and his Beast form. He is currently back in his human form, after Belle told him she loved him.
Human form:
Adam’s human form is that of a man in his thirties. Most women would swoon if they saw him, and probably have. He’s a very good-looking man, and one with a body to die for. A stunning abdomen and a set of rippling biceps go well with his good looks. Adam’s hair and eyes are of the same brown colour, and his hair is mid-length. He has fair skin, but seems to not burn when in the sun. For casual wear, the King wears a plain white button-less shirt and black trousers. When it comes to official matters and balls, he wears an beautifully designed small blue coat on top of an immaculate white shirt and vest. Black trousers and spotless black shoes are on his bottom half.
Beast form:
His Beast form is a truly fearsome sight, which most run away from. Belle and his servants are used to it. He lived in this form for ten years and so was quite accustomed to it. His beast form is like an oversized wolf – bigger than a human but an inch or so smaller than an elephant. His fur is deep rich brown colour and soft to the touch – when it’s not standing on end if he’s angry. His eyes hold a hostility that’s not in the human form but also contains intelligence and gentleness. For warmth, he just wears a tattered royal purple cape.

History: [/font]
Adam was born to Lawrence and Monique on a quiet foggy night. While the couple found this odd they thought nothing of it, just glad to at last have a child and an heir to the throne. Adam wasn’t really spoilt child – his parents detested all the bratty and spoilt noble children and so never really doted on him that much. They did love him though, that was for sure. His infancy and very early childhood was spent looked by either his parents or the castle servants.
As a boy, Adam was very much a happy child. He had the love of his parents and he was close with the servants. His father began teaching him to be the next king at the age of seven but Lawrence did it in such a way that the little boy didn’t really realise. Monique would watch on fondly while she took care of the rose bushes in their garden as her husband did these lessons. However, as things are, all good things must come to an end. At the age of ten, when his parents were giving out a royal public speech they were shot dead before his eyes. It seemed that not everyone had liked the King and Queen. That marked the end of the happy child his servants knew. After the funeral, Adam fell into a deep depression that none of the servants seemed able to shake him out of. The poor boy would spend hours in his parents’ bedchambers and tending to his mother’s rose garden.
Adam was finally roused from his depression when a younger child asked to play with him. The child’s mother was horrified when she learned of this but the Prince merely brushed it aside, wanting some company. So, it was henceforth that Prince Adam became somewhat happy again, though they were times when he’d be withdrawn and distant. Twelve years later, when Adam was feeling withdrawn, a woman came to seek shelter at his castle. He turned her away, which was a very bad move. It turns out she was an enchantress. She cursed him and his servants. She cursed his servants living inanimate objects and him: into a Beast. It would be another ten years before the unexpected happened...
An old man had come into his castle, which Adam, now known as the Beast, didn’t like. So, he kept him captive. The old man’s daughter came and at once, Adam was captivated by her beauty. The girl begged for her father to be set free, and then when that didn’t work, she begged for Beast to be his prisoner and not her father. Beast instantly threw the man into the carriage, which drove itself back. After a hushed discussion with two of his servants, Beast ordered Belle to be locked with one of the rooms above. After several hours worth of thinking Beast decided to dine with the captive beauty and so ordered it to be so.
At first Belle and the Beast were forcefully civil for one another. Beast found her infuriating at the best of the times, but soon allowed her to roam the castle save for one wing and for one room. He noticed that his servants were fond of her and with that, he began to think about changing his behaviour towards her. However, Belle just had to see what was in the room. This enraged Beast so much so that he roared at her to leave and never come back. As Belle left, he heard the howls of the wolves. He didn’t go to her aid immediately though. He went after a few minutes. He managed to fight the wolves but not without sustaining injuries. Beast scooped her up and ran back to the castle, depositing her in the drawing room, where she tended to his injuries.
Beast and Belle grew closer after that. The more time he spent with her, the more he became aware of her needs. He even organised a ball, with the help of his staff. He gave her present –the enormous library. But alas, things took a turn for the worst when Gaston, a rival suitor rallied a mob of angry villagers to kill him and his servants. While the villagers tried to destroy his servants Gaston went after Beast. Beast didn’t want to actually fight - he blocked the some of the blows that Gaston delivered. Gaston fell from the rooftops where they had fought, thanks to the heavy rain. Unfortunately, Beast fell to the ground, sustaining heavy injuries. It was then that Belle wept about how she loved him. Suddenly, light engulfed Beast and he was transformed back into Adam. Adam and Belle were soon wed and coronated, and have since ruled with kind and just hands.

Role-play Example:
Coal black eyes penetrated the haze that clouded the Acheron, through to the mortal world, namely America. As of late, Hades had wanted to check up on these puny mortals, see if they were worth caring about. Of course his niece, Artemis, cared enough about these mortals enough to have some in her little army of Huntresses. It was a shame that she didn’t have the might of Underworld at her back. He would love to send her some of his soldiers to her aid but she was too proud, just like her dear old Dad. It sometimes sickened the Lord of the Dead how his dear brother could be so…so lustful. Were they not satisfied with their own wives? But Hades couldn’t really judge, since he too had had his fair share of women: Minthe, Leuce and Maria. Persephone would be his true love though.
As Hades’ eyes swept the nation, his ears picked out various conversations. Gods, these mortals talked about trivial matters! Were their lives so boring that they had to resort to…to this! See, this is why Hades almost never got involved with mortals. They were so boring. Of course….Maria would never be boring to him. A smile played upon the albino’s lips as he remembered the times he had spent together with before Zeus had to blow her up. Curse his eternal soul! Why did that oaf have to have all the glory? Ok, he got he and his siblings out of their wretched father’s stomach and all but seriously, Zeus was starting to big-headed, as if the world should revolve around him! Hades sighed, took a deep gulp and counted to ten. Hades’ anger wasn’t needed at this moment in time. After all, he had so recently been semi-accepted by his family. He didn’t want to jepordise that.
As Hades roved the streets, he thought he heard scientists speak.
“My Lord!” said an attendant, his voice piercing Hades’ mind. The Lord of the Underworld sighed deeply and returned to the Underworld. His coal black eyes examined the attendant, and immediately, the attendant began to quiver. Hades curled in lip in satisfaction. “W-We have a-a real b-bad one, m-m-my Lord.” He loved making the attendant scared out of their wits. Made him feel a little slither of satisfaction, knowing that he could match Hera in terms of being imposing. Hades gestured for the guy to be brought in, to which the attendant gladly obliged.
Soon, a pot-bellied man with tattoos and a very bad odour was being escorted. He was making a ruckus. Well, that would have to be stopped.
“Let go o’ me! You can’t do this!” he screamed to the escorts, who merely grinned back. Hades frowned. What an uncouth man!
“Silence mortal!” he bellowed, to which the man shut up and started whimpering with fear. Hades wrinkled his nose in disgust. “Jared Locksley, you have been brought to me for a reason. Do you know why?” The man shook with fear. Hades allowed the briefest of smiles to pass on his snow-white face. The Lord of the Dead got up, making the faces on his robes moan. This made the man cower.
“Uh…’cos I-I killed a f-family, robbed a b-bank and raped a woman?” he said, hoping that the answer would appease Hades.
“Correct! You were tried and then sentenced to ten years in prison. However, you managed to break out of that. So, for your punishment….” Hades circled the man, with the escorts behind him. The faces moaned phrases of despair and doom, making the man cower and shrink back.
Hades got an idea.
“Jared Locksley, you shall spend eternity trapped inside a burning prison. Every time you reach the escape exit, you shall fall and burn. You shall do this every day! Do you understand?” he commanded. The man, who was in tears by now, merely nodded. “Very good. Your feeble mind understands. Take this disgusting mortal where he belongs.” The escorts nodded and dragged the sobbing man away, with Hades watching. He then sighed contentedly. He loved this job sometimes.
