SOMEWOT DETAILED PERSONALITY

• ISTJ! 
• TO MOST, Adelais SEEMS really rather intimidating. He is a man of very, very few words, and when he does speak, his sentences tend to be terse, and on-point-- neither caring to elaborate on his statements and beliefs, nor engaging the other party in any conversation outside the task at hand. Not only this, but Adel maintains an uncanny ability to keep a very, very straight face at all times, even when faced with certain life-threatening situations.
• Thus, he is a great soldier. He is mostly very cool, and incredibly calm-- and he follows and carries  his orders through religiously.
• YES.
• BUUUTTT As I hinted, Adel ONLY SEEMS like a mean stick-in-the-mud, but isn't actually... (OKAY MAYBE A LITTLE OF THE LATTER, BUT HE ISN'T MEAN) 
• It's just that...AN ADEL PROMISE IS PERHAPS the strongest sort you can possibly find. He is remarkably dutiful, and if he sets out to complete a task, he will follow through with it, even if it kills him! 
•  And, it is actually due to a certain promise that he joins the army in the first place, takes orders from a general he loathes with every fibre of his being and composes this unfaltering mask of fortitude. (see history for more!)  In short, he only acts this way because he feels like he needs to, not because he wants to.
• AHHAHAHAHA.... 
  
• He fully realizes what the artificial sun is, and tries to justify killing stars by telling himself that his country's people need the tower, and that there is no other way. Still, he knows in his gut that it is WRONG. SO WRONG. While he is able to compromise his moral code for the sake of a PROMISE, it's still ever-present and a good moral code! AT HIS CORE, ADEL is a very kind, very gentle person. He never wants to hurt anything, or anybody more than what is necessary. 
• HIS WILLINGNESS TO COMPROMISE HIS MORALITY/SACRIFICE HIMSELF LEADS TO HIS DOWNFALL yes cool.
•  Sucks to be you Adel! 
• IN THE PERFECT UNIVERSE, HE'D BE LIVING PEACEFULLY IN HIS COUNTRY AND cooking/maintaining a nice, small restaurant named after the girl he loves. THINGS JUST CAN'T STOP LEAVING HIM ALONE. 
  
• ububu...

ABILITIES.

• He possesses a pair of gauntlets, each embedded with a star crystal. It amplifies the strength of his hands.
• He is a competent fighter, and relies mostly on his strength/fine-tuned reflexes. He prefers one on one battles due to his primarily small range of attack!
• MASTER CHEF. BEST COOK.

PAST

• His mother was (and still is) a beautiful woman, who was emotionally strong and clever... but relatively poor. She didn't live VERY FAR from the sun... But, she wasn't very close either!
• One fateful day, as she came to visit the Inner-City, she fell in love with a politician, who enthralled her with promises to sweep her off her feet and help her towards a warmer future! Though she was clever, and knew that things were too good to be true, she wanted to believe him and accept his gifts, so she did. 
• BUT YEAH THINGS TURNED OUT TO BE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
• Later, she becomes pregnant with his child (ADELAIS!) and finds out that the politician HAPPENED TO HAVE A WIFE and a family himself.
• After breaking the news to the woman, she wept, of course... But, after a week she forms a plan. 
• She approaches the politician at his villa with one of his gifts in hand (a ring). Then, she tells the politician that she would break apart his family and ruin his career in politics (WITH THE UNBORN BABY), unless he gave her enough monies to live in the capital and support their child.
• The politician WANTING TO KEEP FACE, does this! Adelais' mother has since kept her promise to keep her mouth SHUT.
• Adel grew up very well, because his mother was a good one! His mother told him exactly who his father was, and even gave him the ring! He understands their situation, and has come to accept it without any angst whatsoever.
• As a child, he falls in love with a girl named Lucian. He promises that he would always protect her-- everything about her (DREAMS, GIRL HERSELF, HAPPINESS)--, no matter what the costs. Then, when the time becomes right, he plans on confessing to her, and then growing up and opening a restaurant named after her!
• BECAUSE LUC IS A DUMBASS SHE TOTALLY RUINS HIS PLANS AND GOES "I WANT TO JOIN THE ARMY. LET'S GET TO THE TOP TOGETHER."
• He is postponing his confession until they INDEED rise to the top together! He's currently army captain YOU GO ADEL.
•  IN THE ARMY, HE RECOGNIZES HIS FATHER, BUT HIS FATHER DOESN'T RECOGNIZE HIM. ADEL DOESN'T MAKE ANY EFFORT TO APPROACH HIM. IT'S JUST AN. "OH..."
• AND THEN LUC TOTALLY GOES AWOL, NOW HE HASTA HUNT HER DOWN.
• GDI.
• WHY IS YOUR LIFE SO HARD ADEL.

RELATIONSHIPS

• Naos: Hunting that goddamned star!
• Lucian: He's stupidly faithful to her! Though she makes a lot of messes for him to clean, Lucian is basically his ONE AND ONLY. He tries to mask his feelings towards her with FRIENDSHIP-- because love would distract them both from RISING TO THE TOP TOGETHER--, but really he just wants to MARRRYYY HERRRR.
• Septimus: Respect each other. Tenuous relationship, due to Lucian going AWOL
• Rigel: Hates her, but obeys her!
  
  

OTHER SHIT

• HE HAS A SPANISH ACCENT.
• I DON'T NORMALLY DO NAME MEANINGS BUT I THOT HIS NAME WAS FITTING UBUBU. Adelais: "Noble kind; of the noble sort'";; Allende is a Spanish word of Latin origin meaning "beyond" or "besides".

Creator Insight:

• If you know what happens between Adel and Luc at the end, you'll realize just how whipped Adel is JUST. HOW. WHIPPED.
• UBUBU MY POOR BABBY...
• I like Adel's design a bunch! I also love how he's stuck in such a terrible position too! HURF FEEDS MEEEE.
• HE'D MAKE SUCH A GOOD HUSBAND...
