FULL APPEARANCE:
Adaman is a slender young man who stands at roughly 5’10”. He keeps his blond hair long, usually up in a high pony tail to keep it out of his face when working. It not often that he isn't wearing a smile that reaches his brown eyes; it's hard to make him angry so scowls and frowns are a rarity. He has an preference for loose clothing that’s easy to move in, though he manages to keep up with the current style as best he can.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
For Adaman, time is a precious thing that shouldn’t be wasted. He’s not one to sweat the small stuff; as long as he knows where the finish line is he can plow his way there one step at a time. This is where he runs into trouble, as his lack of observance of the details can land him in hot water. He works and plays hard, putting one hundred percent into everything he does. His drive to make each moment meaningful means he’s constantly on the go, reluctant to sit even for a meal. He often needs people to get him to stop and smell the roses before he burns himself out.
Despite his forthright nature, Adaman is easy to get along with. He will happily make time for those who need his advice or simply want his company. He has the makings of a good leader, one who knows when to inspire the uninspired and when to admonish the unreasonable, though it doesn’t occur to him that he should follow his own advice. He has a sharp wit and a sharper tongue, both of which he's refined over a long childhood with two older brothers. He knows his way around an argument and while he tries not to start them, he will certainly finish them.
One of his biggest pet peeves is tardiness and it’s an easy way to make him grumpy.

BIRTHPLACE: Minor hold in High Reaches territory
HISTORY:
Born the third of three brothers, sons to a minor hold’s steward, Adaman had the advantage of having two role models from whom to learn. While his brothers taught him many things, not all were good- in addition to his manners and helping with his lessons, he also picked up a smart mouth and how to swipe sweets and have it eaten before anyone could notice. They were good brothers, though, and all three benefitted from tutors and the instruction their father could provide, even if only Shynarnon would inherit the position. Adaman took the lessons to heart, though, wanting to learn how to be helpful to others.
While the hold tried to avoid active participation, they couldn’t fully escape the strife Golre’s rule brought them. Adaman was young enough that he didn’t fully comprehend the effects of the war, but he wasn’t completely ignorant of it either. He knew the hushed conversations that stopped when he was near and the concern his parents showed on a regular basis meant something, but no one would explain it, at least until he got older. It made an impression on him, making him more aware of what was going on around him.
Another thing he realized as he grew was that he wouldn't be able to make much of an impact where he was. He was well liked, but as the youngest brother he wouldn't inherit anything unless, Faranth forbid, something happened to his older brothers. Staying at the hold would leave him somewhat stagnant, but he wasn't quite sure what to do, that was until a searchdragon came by when he was seventeen. He jumped at the chance to go to the Weyr in both a literal and figurative sense. He could make a difference at High Reaches, he was sure, even if he didn't Impress. He was sad to leave his family, but he couldn't let this opportunity pass him by. His brothers chipped in to buy him a parting gift, a firelizard egg that hatched into his beloved Dialga. With many promises to write, he departed to High Reaches Weyr with high hopes and hopefully a dragon in his future.
