age. seventeen
gender. male
rank. criminal

appearance. adrian is a pale-skinned guy standing at about 6 feet tall with hazel eyes and the characteristic blond hair of the petsch family, cut short. he is rather lanky, and with a well-defined jawline, another trait shared by most of his family.
accessories and scars. adrian is not allowed any accessories because of his rankings at the sanctuary. the only major visible scar he has is a deep scratch on his chin.

personality. adrian is almost impossible to read because he is very good at disguising his true emotions. easily inclined to outbursts of violence and fits of rage, adrian finds it very easy to manipulate and lie for his own benefit. he is primarily a pessimist, expecting every sort of relationship to be based on personal gains and transactions to the point of using his own body as a commodity. moreover, adrian is self-loathing about his condition, eager to experiment with multiple alternatives to a miserable life, giving one to think which of his many faces is the true one, if a true personality even exists. he shows little to no remorse for his actions and has the tendency to mask his crimes by playing the victim.
other. 
- demisexual
- best friends with mylarna

powers.
demon physiology. adrian can transform into and use the powers of a Satanic divinity. he develops black horns, fangs, claws, and glowing red eyes, as well as possible tentacle protrusion. he also has enhanced strength, durability, and combat skills. he has the second most basic level of this power, but is always practicing to gain more skills.
infernokinesis. adrian can shape and manipulate the flames of Hell, which instantly destroy any object in their path and cause excruciating pain to any living being it comes in contact with. when he summons the flames, they are a near blinding white, but depending on how much power he puts into it, they can begin turning blue. he can also construct temporary tools or objects out of his hellfire, but he's the only one who can use them without getting practically incinerated.
nightmare embodiment. adrian has the power to see what someone's worst fears are simply by touching them. from there, he can turn into their fears, and the more horror they show, the more powerful he becomes. however, since it is like shapeshifting, it causes him immense mental, but mostly physical, strain, so he is sometimes scared to use it.
illnesses. sociopathy, arachnophobia

past. adrian was never a good boy in others eyes, as he was always doing shady things. but, in truth, he was always a good boy, just not how you'd expect. he was involved with many a gang and shady dealings because of his mother. she was a high ticket person in their city, who unfortunately married a man, his father, who was deeply involved with the cities underground. when his father was killed he had his work cut out to protect his mom and younger sister, jenna. he dropped out of school and was forced to finish projects that his father left before his death. from there he emerged himself in all the dealings, keeping them at bay. his mother was extremely hard on him, which caused him to develop his sociopathic tendencies. out of impulse he got a few tattoos, but when he arrived at the sanctuary they were burned off. the work was rough and scary, and he did the job for about three years. his mother went crazy at one point, and wanted revenge on her husband's killers. she and adrian went to meet them in the woods, carrying weapons. once the fake dealing began, his mother was being difficult, and the three men started ganging up on her. one of them punched her with no regards of adrian, and he was so confused and shocked that he closed his eyes and accidentally pulled the trigger. all three men were killed instantly when the bullet went through their head. he was so scared that he ran back home, his shoes falling off as he sprinted. he stepped into a puddle of mud along the way, which was poisoned with radiation from the sanctuary. the president found him and took him in at age fifteen. he became more aggressive and dishonest because of the environment around him, but he managed to make friends.
