the YHA Members: Adam

i gave a bit of history for each character in the introduction to the YHA but since each character is quite a bit more then that i'm going to post profiles and short rants about each of them.

starting with Adam
Name: Adam, Strike, Stormfront
Secret Identity: Caleb L. Lane
Hair Color:
Eye Color:
Skin Color:
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 15 at the time he joined the YHA 16 when Gavin joins
Status: Hero, villain, anti-hero
Sexual Orientation: strait
Group:YHA

Powers: Lightning (note: he does not posses magnetism or other powers attributed to electricity, his powers are drawn more from wether.)
Weakness: a short temper, water doesn't effect him as much as it does other electricity using heroes, he can still use his powers it just makes it harder to aim. His powers are extremely limited when indoors.
Strength: when he has a partner, he doesn't work well in big groups but he often forgets to watch his back. He works best when he has someone he trusts to watch out for him, or vice versa someone to look out for.

Personality: cocky, he likes to think of himself as a leader but in truth he's not very charismatic. He only really gets serious in battle when using his powers. Conversely he gets snappy if he doesn't get a chance to use his powers for a few days. in general he has a short temper and can't stand to see bad things happen to people who can't do a thing about it.
Background: he comes from a single parent household and he probably would have ended up in a gang if he didn't have powers. As it was his powers nearly killed him the first time he used them. He was rushed to a hospital by a woman who happened to be driving by. Miss M. then took him in as the first member of the YHA (a program which she had been working on for a few months) he still sees his dad and younger sister every once in a while, they think he is at a boarding school.


that is his basic profile and even though i wrote it up a while ago it's still mostly true. there is one change to his history i have made. he either doesn't have a little sister or she lives with her mother in another city. basically part of him being the first member of the YHA was a few conditions one of which was that he get to live in luxuries rather then his dad's old flat. also something to add: he is the strike leader of the team since he tends to blow up half the surroundings he's not very good in situations where there are hostages but is they get a tip that something is going down he's the one stop it. he is a good planer he just stops thinking once the fight starts. he normally takes the night shift.

the name system was also his idea since Miss M. was originally going to call him #01 (he refused to be a number) or Alpha (no) in the end she suggested Adam which he said was at least better then the others. the way he tells is he chose the name Adam. then when Ben turned up Miss M. was all set to call him Beta but Adam made a big fuss and Ben suggested the A, B, C, system they're now using.

Adam likes the YHA in that it gives him power and a chance to train. most of the kids in his neighborhood say they're going to get out of there but few ever do. Adam in an odd way is proud that he was one of the few. on the other hand he keeps going back there. he sees the people who are being beaten down and wants to knock someones head in. needless to say this gets him into trouble. when it was only the primary members it was less of a problem but it slowly builds into an obsession. at one point Dylan gets involved in a case having to do with some of his old friends and he goes out to prove they are innocent. he shows her some of the gray in the world.

When Gavin joins the group he and Fey are "not dating" he likes her but believes she's too good for him since she comes from a rich family and without the YHA he would be nothing. She likes that he's the bad boy and toys around with him at first before falling head over heals for him when he finally decides to go after her heart for real.

He is the Anti-hero of the group.

in the future he creates a persona called Strike who works outside the law where the "hero" can't help. Strike is branded as a terrorist and the YHA starts going after him. when they find out who Strike is it sparks an argument in the group and with Ben in particular. they'll have a big fight and Adam declares that he's leaving. No one is sure if he's serious. then he does leave. everyone tries to act normal saying he'll be back. Criss thinks it's bigger then that and tries to get him to come back to the group. in the end she ends up going after him and also leaving the group. this shakes everyone up badly. Adam gathers a group of people around him like a gang but with different goals. Criss reveals her name to be Eve and stays with him. she is in love with him though it is unclear if her truly loves her back since he is torn up and trying to work through leaving the YHA and taking on the persona of Strike full time. eventually he does come back to the good side and takes on the name and persona of Stormfront. ( this is after a period of silence when the YHA (then in the third generation) believes him dead.) when he resurfaces as Stormfront he hides his identity from the group and it takes a while for them to figure out who he is.

well i think that's all on him for now...
