beau / graves

did you guys know adams fourty now,,, its been like. two years since he was born. isnt this beautiful....

anyway. with the trailer for mw4 dropping recently ive been thinking about adam again. hence this post

adam is very interesting to me. and something ive been meaning to do is like really truly explore him and his character. ive been wanting to really delve into his femininity(?) and the whole him kinda sorta being a metaphor for child birth thing i had going on (i can. elaborate if needed),, and also him + the military + the conflicts with morals and stuff !! because like, he really wants to be a good person which is part of the reason he joined the marines at all,, but like the us military isnt what propaganda makes it out to be. plus how he then works with shadow company which is a lot less shy with its dubious morals.

OCCUPATION: Mercenary (Current), Arasaka Counterintelligence (Former)

BIOGRAPHY: CW: substance abuse and addiction (underaged), allusions to overdosing

Viorel was born in Charter Hill, Night City to █████ and ██████ ████████. His parents were business people, ambitious. They wanted to be the next big thing so to say, and because of that, they were often away from home.

His parents often came back late in the day (if at all) so growing up, Viorel was often left in the care of various babysitters until he was deemed to be able to care for himself at the age of thirteen. In the meantime, struggles with money and his parents’ struggling business drove a deeper wedge in their practically non-existent relationship.

The damage the neglect had done to his psyche paired with growing feelings of dysphoria and unrest in his body drove Viorel to seek out what he could to alleviate the stress. He’d sneak out a lot, and soon he’d begin to use a range of substances (whatever he could get his hands on), doing odd jobs and favors to pay for his addictions.

As a result of his usage, Viorel doesn’t remember most of his childhood and teen years, the time having been spend high or recovering from borderline overdoses in some dingy underground clinic.

At fifteen years old, Viorel began his social transition. A year later, he’d begin his questionably legal medical transition with DIY and stolen testosterone and eventually a rough top surgery procedure.

When Viorel turned eighteen, he cut off contact with his parents once and for all and began his employment at Arasaka, meeting one Jackie Welles at around same time. The support from the Welles’ motivated Viorel to make the journey to (mostly) sobriety.

Viorel quickly climbs through the ranks at Arasaka,,, blah blah blah main story stuff,, lalallalal

also here he is!! but in game this time

Has prominent canines; they’re sharp and are slightly higher up than the rest of his teeth

Has a bad case of resting bitch face

For a good while after leaving Arasaka, he forgot how to act casually in a sense. He’d show up way too groomed for the job— hair slicked back, posture stiff and upright, didn’t speak unless spoken to— because it was something that was just habitual. His time with the Welles’ helped him let lose, and he found himself assuming the style he does today

Doesn’t acknowledge it, but has a preference for people older than him

His nail polish is perpetually chipped no matter how much he touches them up

Definitely has some degree of pretty privilege. He’s attractive and he knows it

Easily frustrated and would probably fall for ragebait, though he can manage slightly.

Hates being doubted in any capacity, even if it isn’t from a place of malice. It makes him very defensive

Is very physically fit. He occasionally likes (read: loves) showing off. It brings him a sense of pride

Is a sucker for compliments, especially due to his upbringing. Likes being praised

He and Johnny are the siblings ever,, and so are he and Jago (on occasion)

adams favorite flowers are the weeds that rosemary would pluck from the ground to hand to him. he always puts the little bouquet in a cup on the kitchen windowsill

adam is a big fan of the outdoors and just being in the sun. i imagine he spends a lot of his time on his patio :)

not really a tidbit. but marine adam and graves being young and dumb and stupid (affectionate) together. also their around fifteen year long situationship(? if you could call it that)

adam is very sentimental. a sucker for mementos and such. and 100% a victim to tourist traps because he cant help it

adam and rosemary daddy-daughter dates. send tweet

adam worked at a dennys when he was in highschool. thats also where he learned about gay people

adams has a really promient tan lines around his dogtags, ring, and watch

banana fan
