Character Name: Adam Banjora Kirkland
Country: Commonwealth Of Australia
Gender: Male, mate
Age: 18
Camp guide or teen?: Teen, mate
Appearance:
He's 6'4, thin but no skinny minny. He is reasonably built with muscles but not overly so, in short, thin with muscles. He has short, dark brown hair, almost black, which is usually combed and gelled back, except for two strands which refuse to lie down.These strands usually flick about if he is annoyed, in a bad mood or just very very angry. He has deep green eyes. Adam has numerous scars from his past, most of which are hidden under his clothes, as well as burns. He also wears plaster over his nose, for reasons he refuses to divulge.
Adam generally prefers to wears loose fitting clothes, he dislikes posh clothes, such as suits. He sometimes dresses a bit punkish, wearing black, green and yellow clothing, black shades and quite frequently, a studded, dog collar. Mainly because it amuses him and he thinks it makes him look like a badass. When he isn't wearing the collar, a large pointed tooth is usually seen strung on brown cord around his neck. He also has a tattoo on his back with a red back spider (black widow) and another in a place he refuses to show unless being crude.
Personality:
Adam is a cheeky , mischievous soul. He is a person who enjoys a joke and making others laugh. He enjoys pulling pranks and teasing but never desires to hurt others for a laugh unless he knows they won't take it seriously. Or unless it's for revenge. However he frequently uses humour to hide his emotions when he's angry, scared or upset. He is loyal to anyone he calls a 'mate'. He'll be a friend to depend on if you treat him right. He has a lot of energy that needs to express itself physically so he is always doing something active. Whether its climbing random objects, sparring, leaping and so on. Adam will insult you and tease you mercilessly if he likes you.
Adam is also a very down to earth person. He is relaxed and enjoys life to the full and is not afraid to take risks. Anyone who hurts another living animal has him to reckon with. He is a very sporty individual as well. He loves cricket, football (Aussie footy that is xD ) as well as Australian rugby, swimming and cycling. Adam is also fond of music, particularly rock but is also able to play the guitar and the didgeridoo, and instrument he is extremely fond of. Adam loves animals, having several of his own that he misses dearly. The local aboriginals taught him much about animals, snakes and insects and Adam discovered he had a natural affinity with these animals especially spiders and snakes. It's quite common to see him with a snake around his neck or spiders in his hair. Adam is also an alcoholic and quite proud of it, its legal in his country to be drinking at his age, so its quite common to find him drinking, drunk or with a hangover.
He is a lot more crude and rude then he acts or speaks. He just holds it all in. Theres white!Adam, the calm relaxed happy young man and Black!Adam the one you get if you royally piss him off, he can't stand to see other people being hurt, because he 's watched (and experienced) so much pain himself. Adam has quite the temper, which often flares up if people annoy him or if he is already in an exceptionally bad mood. However if he has a crush on you he can become quite embarrassed and flustered, to the point he may insult you numerous times to hide the fact he likes you.
If he's hurting he won't tell you, he considers this "being a victim" and think its also unmanly, he'll keep it to himself for along as he can. He is also slow to trust people, but treats everyone equally. A quirk of his is to find him sleeping a lot. He considers himself nocturnal so he's always lazing about asleep somewhere. Another is to hang upside down from a tree and scare someone. He calls this Operation Drop Bear.

History:
Adam grew up in the outback of Australia with two loving parents who had moved there from England not long before he was born. For a few years everything was fine until his parents were killed in a car accident. He was left in a local boy's orphanage at the age of 5 where many of the children were often physically abused. Many of Adam's scars are from this horrible place. He developed severe claustrophobia from being locked in "The Cell", a tiny room in the basement, that was dark, damp and smelt of fear and blood.
When he was 9 he managed to escape with a few of his friends into the outback where he grew up with the local aborigines. They taught him to track, hunt, dance, play the didgerdoo, etc. He became one with the clan that adopted him and carries around a crocs tooth on a cord, the crocodile being his totem animal. It was the happiest time of his life and shaped, his humour, personality and outlook on life. He's blocked out most of what happened to him but still carries the scars. He doesn't like to talk about it, and has never told anyone but the natives who raised him. When they found out about the summer camp, they thought it would be the perfect thing to help the boy meet new people and new friends. Soon he'd have to leave his outback home to find a job and his way in life.

Adam
Roleplay Sample:
From a historical rp thread.
Adam stretched himself out on the smooth yellow sand, his slouch hat over his eyes. Behind him rose the majestic Great Pyramids of Egypt. Naked from the waist up, Adam had taken a brief moment during training to sun-bathe and it had lasted most of the afternoon. Relaxed though he was, Adam was still in a rotten mood. Having not long arrived in Egypt's hot land, a land which reminded him so much of his own, his army training had begun almost immediately. It had taken a lot out of him already, he felt exhausted. He wondered again why he agreed to fight this... Turkey person and his men. He had never met him before and had nothing against this nation but Arthur seemed to have a problem with him and Adam had felt somewhat pressured to do what his government wanted. Adam was slightly nervous. War was seriousness business and he had never killed a person, only animals and even that was out of survival or tradition. Many of his people and his leaders still felt strong ties with Mother England, even if Adam didn't and therefore thought it best to do what Arthur and his leaders wished.. He snorted. Mother England.
A sound pulled him out of his short nap. A fellow soldier, an ANZAC, requested his company and one of the nearby brothels slash bars. Adam grinned, just the thing to take his mind what had been worrying him lately. "Sure mate, be happy to accompany ya! " He grinned again and followed the other solider up the sand dunes. The brothel slash bar was one of the Anzac's frequent visitations. Some came for the women, some came for the alcohol, some came for both. He laughed, it amused him that his men's antics annoyed the British officers so. Let them be annoyed He thought, they treat us poorly, as if we were still convicts, til they give us respect, we wont give them any! . A beautiful woman glad in barely anything but thin red fabric occupied his attention. She flashed him a smile and blew a kiss in his direction.
He downed his drink and followed after her, drunk on both the beer and the woman herself.
Hours later, well into the night, Adam and his men strolled out of the brothel/bar, their wallets much lighter than before. Waving goodbye to his mates, Australia sought his tent among the many. This was done with great difficulty as the australian couldn't see straight. As he trudged along a row of tents, a voice shouted obscenities at him. It was Arthur, furious that he had gotten drunk again. He also seemed annoyed that Adam had used his burnt scones in lew of a cricket ball. " I dun remember that mate... but... it sound like a great idea! " He swayed. "Where me tent go? Did it scarper at ya voice Arfur? " He peered into the tent. A swift push from behind propelled him into the small green tent. "Yes, this is yours, stupid australian. " Replied Arthur, who left grumbling about drunk australians and new zealanders. Adam curled up on the small cot inside and fell into a deep sleep.
