Reputation:
A good influence matters not as long as you're well-known, even if said reputation is terrible. Adamas is considered one of the laziest town guards - rarely ever seen patrolling unless he's in the mood. When he does work, it involves speaking with snakes that occasionally wander into the village for the latest gossip or gambling his earnings away. The rare moments when he does something, he'll half-ass it and consider it perfect in his eyes. It's not that he doesn't want to work - he only needs motivation to do it. Well, that's one of the many excuses he pulls to get out of trouble.

Appearance:
[credits to joker @ neka.cc]
Adamas’s presence is adoringly warm and heavy, like a caring guardian or a vigilant knight (even though he doesn’t display it). Adamas is a man who cares about others, especially when it comes to his loved ones. Although he pretends he’s not for reputation's sake. It’s hard to say what Adamas’s aura is since it switches around depending on who he’s with - making it hard for others to fully understand an already complicated man. Around close friends or loved ones, he’s a selfless man who'll drop what he’s doing to help but pretend there’s nothing better to do, hence why he’s there. He loves being around those he adores immensely, switching from being the talkative member to the quiet one, depending on the day. In truth, he’s a vindictive and manipulative man who’ll do anything to get what he wants. I mean. He offered his soul to a serpent to attain its power, so if he’s not afraid to get rid of a part of himself - he’s not hesitant to get rid of someone else. He’s more like the moon, having a more chilling and dim behavior that he shows around people he hates with a passion. He isn’t afraid to stoop low when someone backstabs him or his loved ones, even going as far as to murder the person if he considers them annoying to keep dealing with. Yes, this man stooped so low to have personal qualms with birds of prey and mongooses. He doesn’t care if he’s being petty or not. Those two animals are his biggest nightmares and pests in his eyes. Funnily, he’ll nickname the people he hates mongoose or any bird of prey, with the person thinking it's out of endearment, but for Adamas, it’s out of spite.
For socialization, Adamas can adapt to any form of communication with a hyperactive, extrovert, or more reserved introvert as he wants them to feel comfortable. Adamas is a mixture of extrovert and introvert, actively communicating with others, yet he is careful to overdo it with interactions. His social skills are excellent as he can start a conversation with a stranger on the street and keep it at friendly bantering. His bright atmosphere tends to win most people over, making it easier for him to befriend someone despite knowing them for a day. While mingling with others, he’s carefully reading them, remembering every bit of word a person says that could be useful for later. Those who truly know him well call him a sociopath, psychopath, or a mixture of both, which is confusing for those having their first encounter with him as they view him as a simple introvert. His speech, mainly directed at those he hates passionately, is cold and emotionless to the point it sounds mechanical. Adamas will insult them and won’t shed a tear if they were to die. Hell, he might even smile over their death. For him, you're either his friend he adores deeply or his enemy he wants to kill with a passion. They're no in-betweens for him.
Is Adamas attractive? Well, the answer is an absolute yes. Adamas appears to be a goddess of beauty, a presence that draws anyone in, noble-like elegance, and a voice that makes everyone quiet so they can listen. He has admirers who aren’t afraid to be such a thing, swarmed by men who envy him and women who want to be with him. Adamas is beautiful in the eyes of men and women alike, but they’re those who envy him immensely. Of course, he pretends not to notice such a thing, but internally, he’s smiling. The biggest question is, does Adamas view himself as such? That’s another yes, but he’ll pretend he isn’t just to manipulate others onto his side. Adamas acts humble, denying his sense of beauty just to appease others. In truth, he’s a vain person attracted to the beauty of himself and others. Be it lavish clothing, the finest of makeup, alluring perfumes, or the style of hair, Adamas is a person who’s attracted to looks. Being Adamas, he’ll use his beauty, voice, and aura to lure others to his side, keeping them wrapped around his fingers for later use. If Adamas likes you enough, he’ll keep you by his side, but if he dislikes you, he’ll tossed out like trash.
It’s unclear what face shape he has as it’s a mixture of two different ones, having the assertive and masculine face of a man and the gentle and feminine face of a woman. His hairline sits further back on the skull, making his forehead appear higher. Lavrentios’s forehead frontal bones protrude more, which creates a sense of deeper set eyes. His brow bone has a ridge of bone around the upper edge of the eye sockets - because of the brow ridge, his forehead appears steeper, and the angle between the forehead and nose is sharper at a lateral view. He has a slightly larger nose with a more angular dimension, while the bridge is wider and straighter. The nasal tip doesn’t appear to be pointed upwards, as it’s more straighter. Lavrentios’s lips are thinner - with less plump and a bit further from the base of the nose. His cheeks are less full, while the cheekbones are lower and less prominent. The man has a taller, angular, and square chin and a thicker lower jawbone, while the jawline along each side of the chin is stronger and wider. Lastly, he has a bit of an Adam’s Apple, yet it’s not as visible as a man’s, but more than a woman’s. There are other markings on the face in the form of beauty marks and a multitude of scars. Strangely, his ears aren’t human, looking more pointed like an elf’s due to the changes occurring to his body.
The shape of Adamas’s eyes is almond, he has a smaller eyelid and is longer in width than they are round. The eye shape tapers to a point by the tear duct and outer eye. The outer part of the cornea is generally hidden under the top and bottom lids, which cause an apparent crease. This gives him a piercing look that sends shivers down one’s spine, a gaze that makes one’s body tingle at a glance. What makes him even more magnetizing is the color of his eyes - having a high transparency and displaying a very intense red that's like that of a cut red ruby while his pupils have changed into slits. When he's under little to no lighting, his eyes are black, making the pupils hard to see. His eyes are transparent, allowing light to reflect off them and creating a glassy luster that makes his eyes appear to be literal gems. When light bounces off his eyes, the actual colorization will be revealed. A piercing red color that makes one's heart stop and soul cringe in pleasurable fear. Above his eyes are a set of medium soft angled-low arched brows that fit perfectly on the manly face. Adamas’s eyelashes are long, fuller, darker, and a beautiful curve.
Adamas’s height is around 6’0-6’1, but it could be taller depending on the shoes he wears that day. His tallness intimidates others sometimes, but it’s also an attractive feature. In other words, Adamas’s tallness is intimidating yet sexy to most people. The structure of his body is an inverted triangular shape as his hips and waist are smaller, which is normal in men. As for the buttocks, they fall less voluminous than those of women and appear flatter. From behind, his waist to hips aren’t smooth with a slight dip when the two meet, while his points are more hollow and less plump. For the chest, he has a firm set of pecs due to his intense workout exercises, and depending on the shirts he wears, they’ll be more prominent. He is a highly fit man as he has a 6-7% muscle mass, making his muscles highly visible under the skin and able to feel their firmness. Adamas has a visible 10-pack with more muscles surrounding it, with the addition of well-formed legs and arms that flex each time he moves. The shoulders are broader, taller, and with wide sternums which creates that inverted triangle shape - meaning that he has broad shoulders as opposed to narrow hips. Adamas has warm, chestnut skin with warm undertones. Parts of his body are smooth and flawless, but some parts have a scaly and bumpy texture due to the changes. On Adamas's body are multiple scars from the training and fighting over the years, but he doesn't seem to mind them. Located on her lower back are two back dimples, a beautiful trait to many.
Adamas’s hair texture is thick and with a clean appearance. His hair is short and well-kept, barely reaching his shoulders. Adamas’s hair is soft to the touch - also described as velvety. His hair has a glossy sheen, causing sunlight to reflect off it beautifully. His bangs partially covered the upper half of his face and almost touched his nose, with his eyes peering through his locks. Once more, he's mistaken to be a guy as his long hangs cover most of his features, giving others a limited look at his face. The smell of Adamas’s hair is considered musky, like cedarwood or tobacco. Others say that he reeks of the forest. His hairstyle is a hybrid of straight and wavy, with the roots being straight while the ends have a slight curl, creating the wavy style. Adamas’s hair color is unique, to say the least, as it’s a pure alabaster color. Originally, his hair was pitch black, but the altercations changed the color to white.
Voice:
Adamas’s voice is ethereal and husky, with his voice being low and hoarse - often in an attractive way. His voice is slightly higher than most men’s, but it’s strangely an alluring quality of his. It’s so beautiful that a nosey room will grow hushed just to hear him speak. Even without trying to be demanding, many would obey him just because of his voice. Adamas’s voice makes one listen to everything he is saying without trying to gain anyone’s attention. His voice is pretty hoarse, with many considering it easy on the ears without irritating them. Strangely, there’s a touch of gentleness to it. A natural silver tongue, if you will. There’s no sense of hostility when she communicates. Once he’s put in a bad mood, the tension in his voice is tense and unsettling - like death is whispering in your ear. When he sings, it’s like a Siren with how pleasant it is to the ears or the same level of beauty as a songbird.

Abilities:
Boitatá Mimicry
He would soon shift into a Boitatá, the Brazilian equivalent of the will-o'-the-wisp. According to the legend, a Boitatá is a massive serpent that survived a great deluge. A singular anaconda left its cave after the deluge and, in the dark, went through the fields, preying on the animals and corpses, eating its favorite morsel, the eyes. The collected light from the eaten eyes gave Boitatá its fiery eyes - its eyes leave it mostly blind by day, but by night, it can see everything.
Since he's still in the early stages of transforming, he can only use a limited amount of his ability. This includes:
Night Vision
Minor Fire Manipulation (Fire Mimicry, Fire Breath, Burning)
Blindness Inducement (Temporary)
Strengths:
WIP
Weaknesses:
He's steadily becoming blind due to his developing abilities, but it mainly occurs in the daytime.
With his building blindness, he has trouble seeing most things and relies on sound to get around/fight.
With his fire element, he's weak to water, ice, and cold-based abilities, which can weaken him.
Adamas doesn't want to admit it, but anything involving birds or mongooses slightly frightens him.
His laziness. Yeah, it's one of his worst qualities. Don't expect much from him.
Commitment issues are mighty with this one. He can't hold a relationship, be it platonic or romantic, for a long time.
