history: http://heroeswiki.com/Adam_Monroe
personality: Outwardly, the face Adam presents is one carefully crafted to present him in the best light possible. He is the wise friend upon whom you can rely and in whom you can have absolute trust. He is the leader in whom you can have faith and whose experience can guide you. He is the reluctant hero who only exercises his great power in furtherance of the greater good, or to protect those who need it. He is the man made lonely by the power fate conferred upon him and the great responsibility he feels goes hand in hand with it, his own needs and yearnings necessarily set aside by the burden he is required to carry.
All of this, however, masks Adam's true nature. He's a coldhearted manipulative bastard, calculating to the last, who'd just as easily sell you out or kill you as he would protect you or remain your friend. He puts on a good show, but at the end of the day the only person he cares about is himself and the only interests he's willing to protect are the ones that directly benefit him. He can certainly be charming, caring, grow fond of people, and benevolent, but if the choice came down to looking after someone else, or himself? He'd pick himself every time.
Adam is driven to be the way he is due to weariness. He's seen a few centuries turn, and he's seen the same dramas play out over and over again. Empires rise and fall, wars are launched, people die, resources are used up, people are oppressed or rise up, fortunes are made and lost. Nothing ever changes. The only thing that he has seen change at all in three and a half centuries is man's pride, his growing need to own, to control, to take. Adam can't handle what he sees as man's growing inhumanity. It's led him to develop an "every man for himself" mentality--it's what he lives by and what he expects others to do to him.
This is why he'd love to just wipe everyone out and start all over again. He thinks God had a good plan with that Flood of His. He'd love to wipe the slate clean--literally--and start all over again with a worthy chosen few. Maybe the world could turn out the way he wished it had, rather than the disaster he sees it to be now.
Adam is also horrifically self-centered, self-serving, and distrustful of others. He feels he lost everything that was good in his life through betrayals, and he pretty much goes through life now waiting for people to betray him again, or using his certainty that they will as an excuse to try to control them or do terrible things. He's an overgrown child at times, wanting things exactly his way or he'll throw a tantrum and stomp home. As much as he's weary and wary of man's growing pride, he's at times blind to his own, which is just as overwhelming, just as needy and wanting to take and control as he sees everyone else's to be.
abilities/powers: Adam has the power of rapid cellular regeneration. His body will heal from any injury, up to and including death, making him effectively immortal. Minor injuries heal on the spot; the more severe the injury, the longer the healing process, though he can return from death in just a few minutes. His blood has the ability to heal others when injected into their bloodstream.
In the "less a power and more a skill" department, he's a master swordsman, he's highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat, and reasonably good with a handgun. He's fluent in French and Japanese. He also knows how to ride a horse.
