2. **Age:** 38
3. **Gender:** Male
4. **Place of Origin:** Detroit, Michigan

**Appearance:**

5. **Face Claim:** Bill Hader

6. **Physical Description:**  Adrian stands at 6'1", his tall, lean frame honed by years of physical conditioning. His arms carry the faint traces of old scars, remnants of his past life. He sports a slightly unkempt beard and has short, dark hair that he keeps immaculately groomed. His deep-set brown eyes, framed by thick brows, bear an intensity that belies his calm demeanor. They seem to carry a world of stories, often causing people to look away. There's a certain hardness to his features, a byproduct of the life he's led, but those who know him well can spot the glimmers of warmth that surface from time to time.

7. **Clothing Style:** Adrian is rarely seen without his worn-in jeans and a simple t-shirt or button-up shirt, often in darker shades. He owns a couple of leather jackets that he throws on when the weather calls for it, and a pair of sturdy boots that have seen better days. He doesn't own much in terms of formal wear, save for a black suit reserved for special occasions. His wardrobe, much like his life, is practical and uncomplicated.

**Background and Personality:**

8. **Family Background:**  Adrian hails from a blue-collar family in the heart of Detroit. His father, Michael Sullivan, was a welder in one of Detroit's auto factories, and his mother, Patricia Sullivan, was a seamstress who did extra shifts at a local diner to make ends meet. Adrian has a younger sister, Lily, who he protected fiercely. They lived in a tight-knit community, where everyone knew each other, and a sense of shared struggle fostered a strong bond among its residents. His parents worked tirelessly to provide for their children but their jobs left little time for them at home. As a result, Adrian shouldered a lot of responsibility from a young age, which contributed to his independent nature. Both his parents passed away in a factory accident when he was in his early twenties, an event that propelled him into the harsh realities of life. Lily moved away for college and they drifted apart. Today, Adrian often finds himself missing the familial warmth, which he substitutes with his close-knit circle in the community. His past significantly influences his protective nature and his dedication to those he considers family.

9. **Occupation:** After his past life as a hitman, Adrian is currently unemployed, but he is far from idle. He spends much of his time actively seeking opportunities to help those in need within his community. This could be anything from intervening in local disputes to providing a safe space for the neighborhood kids after school. He's a jack-of-all-trades in a sense, and while he doesn't earn a regular income, he's earned something far more valuable: the respect and gratitude of his community. However, with his impressive set of skills, he occasionally does some off-the-books work like private security or consulting, which pays the bills and keeps him out of the public eye. He is keen on finding steady employment, but his history and lack of formal education often make it challenging. He keeps his past occupation a secret, a painful reminder of a life he's desperately trying to move away from.

10. **Education:** Adrian's formal education was cut short due to his circumstances. He dropped out of high school halfway through his sophomore year. His family's financial struggles meant he had to start working early to help make ends meet. Despite the lack of formal education, Adrian has always had a sharp, curious mind. He is a self-taught individual, gaining a broad range of knowledge through personal experiences and self-study.

Over the years, he has picked up various skills necessary for his survival and independence, from automotive repairs to first aid. His real education came from the streets of Detroit and the harsh realities of life. From negotiation to strategy, his street-smarts often compensate for his lack of a traditional education. While he regrets not completing high school, he doesn't let that define him or his potential. He's a strong advocate for education and encourages the younger generation in his community to stay in school.

11. **Hobbies:** On the surface, Adrian might seem like a man of few interests outside his community work, but he has a few hobbies that keep him grounded. He's always had a love for old cars, a passion he inherited from his father. Whenever he can find the time and parts, he enjoys working on car restorations. It's more than just a hobby—it's a therapeutic process and a connection to his father.

Adrian also has an unexpected love for classic literature, a pastime he picked up during his quieter days. He finds solace in the written word and uses books as a means of escape. His small apartment boasts an impressive collection of worn-out classics.

Additionally, he enjoys boxing. He initially learned to box as a way to defend himself but it has since become an important outlet for his physical and mental energy. He frequents a local gym late in the evenings, where he's become a familiar face.

Lastly, Adrian loves to cook. It's a skill he picked up out of necessity but has grown to enjoy. He's known in his community for his hearty stews and barbecues, often cooking for community events.

12. **Skills:** Adrian is a man of many talents, honed by a life that demanded adaptation and resourcefulness. He possesses impressive physical strength and agility, as well as skills in hand-to-hand combat and boxing, which he honed over years of practice. These skills, coupled with a tactical mind, make him a formidable figure in times of conflict.

Adrian's past as a hitman also has given him proficiency with firearms, ranging from handguns to rifles. He's a crack shot, a skill he'd rather forget but finds impossible to ignore. While he refrains from using firearms whenever possible now, he will use them if he has no other choice, and always for the protection of those around him.

His years in the underworld also taught him practical skills, such as lock-picking, stealth, and even surveillance, which he now uses for the protection of his community rather than criminal pursuits.

Adrian is also an adept mechanic, with a knack for getting old cars back on the road. This practical skill has made him popular in his neighborhood and has been a source of income on occasion.

Furthermore, he is an excellent cook, and his ability to make a delicious meal out of simple ingredients is something his friends and neighbors often compliment him on.

Another surprising skill is his proficiency in chess, a game he uses to keep his strategic thinking sharp. He has a reputation in the local park for being a challenging opponent.

Despite his tough exterior, Adrian has a knack for diplomacy and negotiation. He's often the one people turn to when a conflict arises in the community, as he's known for his fairness and ability to keep a cool head in tense situations.

Lastly, Adrian possesses an excellent ability to read people and situations, a skill that has been a matter of survival more than once in his past. This, combined with his street-smarts, makes him a person of unique and valuable skillset.

He's also skilled in covert oprrations.

13. **Weaknesses:** Despite his many strengths, Adrian is not without his flaws and vulnerabilities. His past haunts him, and he struggles with guilt over the lives he took as a hitman. He is prone to bouts of melancholy and can be excessively hard on himself, often shouldering blame and responsibility where it isn't his to bear.

Adrian also harbors a deep-seated fear of returning to his old ways. While he's managed to break away from his past, the fear of falling back into those patterns is a constant source of anxiety for him.

He's also a man of few words and can sometimes come across as aloof or emotionally distant. While he's often the person others turn to for help, he finds it difficult to reach out when he's the one in need, often isolating himself during his darker moments.

Despite his leadership role in the community, Adrian sometimes struggles with decision-making, especially when the stakes are high. His past mistakes weigh heavily on him, causing him to second-guess his judgments and potentially delay crucial actions.

Adrian's protective nature can sometimes turn into a weakness. He tends to put others' needs before his own to his detriment. This can lead to burnout and emotional exhaustion if he's not careful.

Lastly, his love for his community, while one of his greatest strengths, is also a weakness. He's fiercely protective of those he cares about and would risk anything for them. This can make him vulnerable to manipulation and could potentially lead him to make reckless decisions out of a desire to protect his loved ones.

14. **Personality Traits:** Adrian is a deeply complex individual with a rich tapestry of traits that reflect his turbulent past and his efforts to create a better future. He's fundamentally a protector, with a fierce loyalty to those he cares about. His determination and resolve are virtually unshakable when it comes to defending his community and loved ones.

Despite his rugged exterior, Adrian carries an aura of quiet intensity. He's reserved, preferring to listen rather than speak. When he does talk, his words carry weight, often reflecting wisdom gained through hardship.

Adrian is also remarkably resilient. He's faced numerous challenges and adversities throughout his life, but he always manages to push forward. This resilience, combined with a sense of stubborn optimism, allows him to serve as a beacon of hope for those around him.

Yet, beneath his strong façade, Adrian is deeply introspective and sensitive. He grapples with guilt and regrets from his past, wrestling with inner demons that he seldom lets others see. He has a deep capacity for empathy, perhaps derived from his own experiences with pain and remorse.

Adrian possesses a strong sense of justice and fair play. He's unwilling to stand by in the face of injustice, often putting him at odds with those who exploit others. This trait, while admirable, can sometimes lead him into dangerous situations.

Lastly, Adrian is remarkably adaptable, a trait born out of necessity from his days as a hitman. This adaptability allows him to handle a range of situations, making him a reliable figure in a crisis. However, it also speaks to a certain restlessness within him, a constant need for motion and progress.

15. **Life Goals/Motivations:** Adrian is driven by a need for redemption, rooted in his past as a hitman. He seeks atonement by dedicating himself to his community's safety and prosperity, a commitment instilled in him by Lionel Harper. Lionel's vision of a peaceful community deeply influenced Adrian, and his untimely death has only intensified Adrian's resolve.

Following Lionel's murder, Adrian has developed an unyielding determination to find those responsible and bring them to justice. This mission is a personal one. For Adrian, it's not only about avenging a friend but also about upholding the principles of justice and accountability that Lionel himself championed.

Adrian is also driven to break the cycle of violence that marked his past, aspiring to create a community defined by peace and fairness. Lionel had been a beacon of hope towards achieving this goal, and his death has cemented Adrian's commitment to it.

On a personal level, Adrian longs to find peace within himself, to reconcile with his past and his guilt. Lionel played a significant role in Adrian's journey towards self-forgiveness and redemption. Even in Lionel's absence, his faith in Adrian continues to guide his path and shape his motivations.

Finally, Adrian desires genuine, enduring connections - an aspiration influenced by his relationship with Lionel. Lionel's authenticity and kindness have inspired Adrian to seek the same depth and authenticity in his own relationships. This, coupled with his drive to honour Lionel's legacy, form the cornerstone of Adrian's motivations and goals.

**Miscellaneous:**

19. **Secrets:** Adrian's past is a repository of secrets, some darker than others. The most significant of these secrets is his previous life as a hitman. While he's left that life behind, he still keeps it a secret due to the fear of judgment, backlash, and the potential harm it could cause to his efforts in improving the community.

Another secret that Adrian holds close to his heart is his deep-seated guilt and regret over some of the actions he took as a hitman. There are specific incidents that haunt him, which he doesn't disclose due to the fear of reopening old wounds and the potential repercussions it could have on his present life.

Adrian also keeps Lionel's confessions and private thoughts a secret. Before his death, Lionel shared many of his concerns and ideas with Adrian. Out of respect and loyalty to Lionel, Adrian has chosen to keep these confessions to himself, planning to use this knowledge to further Lionel's vision.

Additionally, Adrian's secret feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt form a significant part of his internal struggle. Despite his strong exterior, Adrian often feels overwhelmed by the responsibility of living up to Lionel's legacy and struggles with the fear of failing. He keeps these feelings hidden, believing it's crucial to present a strong front for the community's sake.

These secrets add complexity to Adrian's character, creating a more engaging and layered narrative. They drive his actions and decisions, impact his relationships, and influence his character development throughout the story.

20. **Backstory:** Adrian was born and raised in a tough neighborhood, where survival often meant choosing a life of crime. At a young age, he found himself drawn into the dark world of organized crime, eventually becoming a hitman. His skills were honed to a deadly edge, and he developed a reputation for being efficient and emotionless. His life was a cycle of violence, one he believed he couldn't escape.

A chance encounter with Lionel Harper, a charismatic community leader, began to change Adrian's perspective. Lionel saw potential in Adrian, not as a hitman, but as someone who could use his skills for the good of the community. He took Adrian under his wing, giving him a new purpose in life.

Under Lionel's guidance, Adrian left his life as a hitman and began to use his skills to protect the community. He became Lionel's right hand, assisting in various community projects and initiatives. It wasn't an easy transition, and Adrian struggled with the ghosts of his past, but Lionel's faith in him kept him going.

When Lionel was murdered, Adrian was devastated. He felt a profound loss, but also a burning desire for justice. The death of Lionel was not just the loss of a mentor and friend; it was the loss of the man who had given Adrian a second chance. The void left by Lionel's death became a driving force for Adrian, fueling his resolve to continue Lionel's work and find those responsible for his death.

Adrian's past as a hitman is a secret he carries with him, a dark part of his life he wishes to leave behind. But as he works to fulfill Lionel's vision and find his murderer, Adrian finds that his past is not easily forgotten. His journey is one of redemption, a quest for justice, and the struggle to reconcile his past with his present.

Adrian has a unique relationship with the city.

This connection to the city is a critical aspect of Adrian's character and plays a significant role in the story.

He keeps a small circle of friends and is intensely loyal to those he cares about. His past life taught him to be cautious, and as such, he takes time to trust people. However, once he does, he's fiercely protective and would go to great lengths to ensure their safety.
