full name ♦ Adam Everett Butler nicknames ♦ age ♦ twenty-four birthday ♦ 28 Jan 1994 occupation ♦ Owner of In the NOLA school ♦ Primrose Alum species ♦ human ability/power ♦ Hydrokinesis how the ability works ♦ Hydrokinesis is a pretty self-explanatory power. Adam can control and manipulate water. The thing is, Adam cannot generate water where there is none - it has to be pulled from somewhere. As the human body is made up of over 70% of water, it is a viable source for his water manipulating abilities, the the results on said human often end less than desirably. With the amount of moisture in Louisiana, Adam is rarely at need for a source of water.
Adam's abilities oddly enough leave him very dehydrated. He believes it's a side-effect of unintentionally drawing water from his own body to kick-start the manipulation process. Because of this, if he's not paying attention he can get into potentially very dangerous situations. Adam has to drink twice the recommended amount of water daily, at a minimum to keep his hydration levels regular. gender ♦ cis-male (he/his) sexuality ♦ heterosexual
the appearance
face claim ♦ KJ Apa height and weight ♦ 5'11" 176lbs identifying features ♦ Several burn scars that cover most of his back and right side. They aren't noticeable when he's wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants, which he is most of the time. overall appearance ♦ Adam is a tall and lean man, whose muscles are evident after his years of playing football. He spends a fair amount of his time still working out and keeping his body in an ideal physical shape. Money keeps him well-dressed, in clothing that is long sleeved more often than not. Terrible burn scars mar his back and right side, which he covers well with most of his clothing. Adam takes pride in his appearance, being the heir to the Butler legacy has made him aware of such things.
the personality
likes ♦ spending time with Daphne, piano, football, photography dislikes ♦ his burn scars, writing, people's expectations of him, shopping, blood strengths ♦ strong willed, quick witted weaknesses ♦ unforgiving, struggles with being vulnerable, used to getting his way dreams ♦ To get out from under the 'family business' and make a name for himself fears ♦ fire/being burned by Daphne again overall personality ♦ Adam is pretty reserved dude. He's quiet, but calm. Generally cool-headed and collected, not much will rattle him. He's got charm after growing through some awkward teen years, and he knows how to use it well. Adam is friendly, and he's got a fair amount of close friends as well as good acquaintances. Daphne is his closest friend and confidant, despite his fear of her powers. Adam has a natural knack for most things in life, but he's never really been called or pulled to any one activity. He was raised with a silver spoon, and often gets irritated when things don't go his way because of it.
the history
father ♦ William Clifford Butler, 49, Politician, Owner of In the NOLA mother ♦ Penelope Abigail Butler (nee Pennbrook), 47, Fashion Designer and Owner of a Fashion House siblings ♦ @daphne , 24, twin sister Duncan Nereus Butler, 18, Student important people ♦ Uncle: Geoffrey Carus Butler, 46, Politician, Owner of In the NOLA hometown ♦ Born in Kilkenny, Ireland, moved to New York City as a 10 year old overall history ♦ William Butler was born into a wealthy and influential family, with a silver spoon in his mouth, and grew up in the lap of luxury. He was quite the playboy, but he married Penelope Pennbrook a girl of his father's choice. A year after their marriage they had twins Daphne and Adam. The twins were raised with the same silver spoon as their parents - everything they ever wanted was handed to them with ease. They were the first set of grandchildren on both the Butler and Pennbrook side, so the grandparents were even worse. Despite living a life of luxury, the Butler family was still really close. The twins were raised by Penelope, and only occasionally nannied due to the stress of having two very curious twins.
Daphne's abilities surfaced the first of the two. The Butler family had been planning a large reunion when Daphne set her bedroom aflame, trapping her and Adam inside. Terrified, Adam hid as best as he could, but still suffered a fair amount of damage. He was retrieved first, and it took some time for the shock and sobbing to pass for him to explain that Daphne was inside, still in the wardrobe. She had been miraculously recovered without so much as some singed hair.
After the incident Adam had to spend quite some time in the best hospitals money could accommodate. Recovering from the harsh burns took time, and there wasn't anything Adam could do but wait. Daphne spent most of her days with him, always profusely apologetic. Adam always waved her off, talking about how cool it was she had superpowers. What he didn't tell her was how jealous he was. If Daphne had powers, why couldn't he? Whenever she wasn't around, Adam would strain himself trying to make something happen like she did. Finally, he did. In the wee hours of the morning, sometime after Adam woke up from the pain of his nerves rebuilding, Adam somehow managed so draw all of the water out of the pipe leading to the sprinkler system in his room. He drenched himself in water, something that only temporarily alleviated the pain, but...
It was logical, looking back on everything, that if Daphne had powers that controlled fire, that as her twin Adam would have powers that controlled water. They complimented each other. As always.
The revelation of Adam's abilities put the Butler parents in a tough spot. Eventually, William decided the twins needed to be sent to Primrose Academy, a school for the super rich and elite. The both of them easily adjusted to life at Prim, Adam rarely leaving Daphne's side. The twins were on the popular side of the school population, though Adam preferred sticking to the shadows and letting Daphne take all the credit. He had his own circle of friends, of course, but never particularly enjoyed the snottiness of the Primbrats that hung around them.
Adam and Daphne graduated Primrose as expected, and took a foothold in the family-owned paper In the NOLA. Daphne naturally took to writing whereas Adam... Adam wasn't sure what he was looking for. At 24 he's finally coming into his own identity, separate from his sister. Writing isn't something he feels called to do for the rest of his life, but he isn't sure what is calling him.
Even the super rich sometimes just need to fumble along until they figure it out.
