Adam appears as a human male with stubby horns on his head, skin covered in steely grey scales and a long tail. He has human feet, bound in simple leather straps. His eyes are a dull purple color. Adam wears a simple shift and exudes an aura of almost supernatural peace. He speaks softly most of the time and prefers action over words except when words can prevent violence. (left ?? for the race since I wasn't sure if Adam's player malkav565 wanted people to know in character what race Adam is yet - rin already knows  )

... also when he says a " supernatural" aura of peace he means it ! You instantly feel calmer in his presence .. it doesn't necessarily mean you HAVE to alter your behavior around him, you can easily ignore it if you choose to.. but the average peasant would end up being well disposed towards him, put it that way.
Adam has an "18" appearance which puts him at the same level as a "movie star" (to use terms from the "real world") far as good looks... Basically his features are very pleasing and well sculpted underneath his scaled skin, sort of an exotic kind of handsome-ness when you take the green scales, horns et cet into account...

It was just another quiet night as Adamant walked towards the meditation chamber. His hands traced the worn figures who posed and fought and prayed in endless frieze that lined the walls of the Forgotten Temple.
His discipline faltered as he allowed his mind to wonder: who were these confident men and who was the strange figure that caused them to fall prostrate in its presence?
It was then that Adam noticed a pair of glowing red eyes. "Hello father," he said calmly. "What brings you to the Forgotten Temple? Have you come to explore the inner depths?"
Adam's father had long since lost his fearful aspect. He had realized that his father, a Harvester Devil, was only as frightening as the reflection in the silvered glass of the temple nave. His father was all business these days, and took poorly to Adam's awakening.
"Your mother says hello." The Harvester's intentions were far from polite. Adam knew his mother lived hellish torment because of her pact with his sire. She had been stoned to death after their family holdings grew blighted from his father's frequent visits.
Adam felt a growing burn develop deep in his center. The subtle attack had thrown him briefly off center, but already he felt a wash of peace cool the devil's hatred he had been born with.
"If you have come to tempt me, you waste your time as always, father. Have you considered releasing mother? You must realize that you only bind yourself with your contracts. You could be free of Hell, if you only open your eyes."
The Harvester was unmoved. "How long do you think you can keep up this charade, you foolish half-breed? Goodness and peace are consumed in the hellfire in your veins. I grow impatient with your childish make-believe. When will you realize you are a scion of Hell?"
Adam sat down in the center of the meditation circle. He looked up with purple eyes that only barely luminesced in the dim twilight. "I have already realized this, father. What you seem to overlook is that it doesn't matter."
"Just as my mother was born of flesh and chose the path of Hell, I am born of Hell and choose the path of life. For it is not your nature that defines you, but your choices. You too have the choice to transcend your fiendish nature. Your own mind is the shackle."
The Harvester rolled his blood red, pupilless eyes. "So be it. You continue your play. However, understand that when true danger challenges your life, your devil blood will not submit. The Hells will rule you when you need it most."
His voice trailed off as he began to disappear. "The Hells are always there when they are most needed...."
Adam drank in the peace in the renewed silence of the pitch-black room. He closed his eyes to block his devil's sight and began to release his fear that his ancient father might be right.

NPC Write ups:
Gaaphus
Adam's father - Harvester Devil (Fiendish Codex II, pg. 117)
Age ?? (immortal)
Height 6'2"
Weight 160 lbs
Personality: Glib, arrogant and overconfident. Gaaphus is hell's salesman, and business is good. Gaaphus is not his true name, but he dislikes hearing it nonetheless. He prefers his vict- er- partners call him "the Harvester" even though he is far from a simple farmer.
Lady Mortha
Adam's mother [deceased -40ish years ago]
Human female warlock 6th
Height 5' 7"
Weight 145 lbs
Personality: Originally a beautiful young woman with suitors to spare, Mortha's fortunes took a turn for the worse when her family holdings began to decline. Some say it was the family's penchant of witchcraft that brought blights to their crops and unwholesome folk to their door. As her hope was replaced by contracts with Gaaphus, the Lady Mortha became more and more disheveled and bitter until her untimely death by village mob over forty years ago.
