Personality: As a child, Adam was used to getting about everything that he pointed at. Mainly a fault played by his young and foolish mother who'd been blinded by the money offered by her husband. A young marriage, a victim to the killer knife of spending out her early youth years taking care of a crying child. Trying to make up for the rough aura she grew up in, she made her son experience what she did not experience as a child. Money, expensive clothes, attention and almost everything he pointed his finger at. Once his toy broke, he got a new one, once he grew bored of something, they quickly replaced it.
That took a huge turn on Adam once he grew up. He was quite spoiled, more childish than most of the little kids in his kindergarten. Obviously not cut out right for that, he got picked on a lot by other kids who came from a lower area, who experienced the rough sound of 'no' over almost everything they'd wanted. In short words, Adam wanted to rule the world around him. He wanted attention from everyone. Aside from being spoiled and childish, he's easily broken by simple words.
Once he grew to find the world harsher than how it looked, Adam found his blooming youth dying slowly until it disappeared completely when his mother died when she overworked herself one night. By then, Adam became overbearing, someone who practiced for long hours and took weight over his shoulder but never once whined about it. With his father's obsessive behavior, Adam started to build a side of him, one that rebelled against orders. But from the start, he was never cut out to be in hard situations, behind closed doors, he'd curl under a blanket and just let go of his kept up negative energy.
He's that kind of guy that would love to be surrounded by people almost all the time, though, thanks to his mother, he usually threw people away once he got bored. Something that he can't throw away by himself, even his 'crush' refused to date him because he was too obsessed with himself that they were afraid of being rejected in the end.

History: [ sweat, blood, tears ]
-- humans are not toys, Adam. They have feelings, but you don't. You just don't understand and you never will. --
Escape, run, leave it all behind. Those were the dreams of his young mother, her overly strict home allowed her to take a man older than her. But what truly mattered to her so called 'parents' was the money stuffed in the man's pockets, it dripped from his pockets whenever he walked. Emilia wanted to leave that home and that she did. Soon enough, she fell pregnant with a child.
Nine months later, Adam was born into the family. And a few years after that, he was starting to feel the golden spoon against his weak teeth. Leave it to him to cry once his mother disappeared away from his sight. Leave it to him to break a toy and point at his babysitter and just by then, he'd hear the door get slammed shut and the babysitter does not return.
He was shaped into a boy who became too jealous when someone else held his toys. He hated people coming near his stuff. A lot of arguments was made because of that, a lot of boys left his friendzone, to them, they were merely making themselves 'slaves' to a self-centered boy. A few years later, his aunt came back with a huge problem haunting her. She was hooked on the wrong pill, her own happy little pill that slowly killed her inside. Emilia, unable to leave her sister to die like that, started to overwork herself.
It did not take long for her to leave him. Permanently. Next thing, he was being dressed in a suit and his mother was being carried in a coffin, lowered into the ground. The little idea of death killed him inside, haunting him dangerously wherever he went. Adam was left alone with an obsessive father who decided it was good to sharpen his son in the way he wanted to from the beginning, but his love for his late wife made him blind and allowed her to soften the boy like that. Adam, unused to the rough treatment, thought that his own father was taking usage of him, was slowly destroying his youth by deciding his own path for him.
[ You will inherit the company when you reach twenty, Adam. Discussion done. ]
No matter how hard he tried to refuse with a yelled 'no', his father would not listen, almost as if he had an invisible headphone connected to a device that was not there. Soon enough, he joined Samezuka, quickly following up his own footsteps, disobeying against the old man's orders by joining the track team. He started to swallow the same pill that his mother had taken. Overpracticing himself to become 'perfect', to be faster than everyone in the team. He wanted the spotlights to be fixed mainly on him. Slowly, he was destroying the old man's hopes of taking the company, of following that name, the Devlins.
Karden usually drowned himself in a bottle of bourbon to ease down the stress of work. Sometimes, Adam would hear the sound of bottles breaking into pieces, that sound alone was rubbing salt over his wound. Most of his memories with the man did not carry a good ending with it, it made him unable to point out where he wants to carry out his future. That was exactly the main step from the man, try to confuse the young boy who'd not been prepared for something as tough as deciding where he wants to take his future which would only make it easier to control the boy like a ragdoll.
