Adam Victor Hartmann 
Adam has one blue eye and one brown in different shapes, and very little hair, but some in dark tufts around his stitches. He’s 6’ 5” tall, 166 pounds, thin, and sinewy. His skin is all consistently white, but in varying shades depending on the body part. He used to dress carelessly in rags, but now tries to hide as much of his body as possible no matter how hot the temperature is so as not to unsettle anyone with his ugly scars, since his face is disgusting enough.

HISTORY: Adam was born as the result of a deluded man’s attempts to play God and create his own race of human. Formed from assembled parts of human men with the intent of beauty and perfection, when animated he was disfigured, scarred and terrifying to his creator. His father abandoned him out of fear and hatred for his ugly, looming form, leaving Adam to the harshness of a world who didn’t understand things different from them. People were cruel to him, threw rocks and chased him from every place he tried to make his home. Even when confronted with a blind man who was willing to hear his tale of suffering without judgment, Adam was shunted away by the man’s children. Adam didn’t know what it meant to be a moral man, an ethical man. All he knew was the anger and betrayal and abandonment that burned in his chest, and so he burned down the blind man’s home. A trail of violence followed him across Europe as he sought out his father, his logical mind understanding that
you have ruined my life, Victor Frankenstein, and now so I must ruin yours.
In the end, his father died of exposure on the Northern seas, chasing after Adam in an attempt to destroy his creation. Adam did not feel as relieved as he thought he would, and would have killed himself to end the cycle of violence and terror, but found that his own humanity would not let him end his life. A friend of his father in his dying days, Robert Walton, began hunting him, and Adam was not free of him for ten years. A woman named him Hartmann, “Animal Man,” and when she died he took in her orphan son. He found his place in a British village to raise the boy.
It wasn’t until his son reached middle age and died of pneumonia that Adam realized he had not put on any visible age since his unnatural birth. How long would he live? Luckily the villagers, who thought he had been scarred at war, couldn’t tell how old he was. None of them looked at his ugly face long enough. He fled the village after his son’s death and drifted across Europe, leaving every time he stayed long enough for people to wonder how old he was.
PERSONALITY: Adam is severely logical. “An eye for an eye” makes perfect sense to him. He is easily confused by the deeper, ethical and moral side of humanity, but he yearns to understand and embrace it. Though he feels love, it scares him because he’s unable to make logical sense of its irrationality.
POWERS/ABILITIES: Immortal. Mostly. He can be killed by bullets and knives and possibly poison, but he doesn’t age. He can survive in harsh conditions like extreme cold/heat without protective clothing, and he can live off of roots and berries if more substantial food isn’t available.
LIKES: A warm bed. The beauty of nature. Softness. Kindness. Acceptance. Justice.
DISLIKES: Cruelty without reason. Hate without thought. Fire. Large bodies of water. Icebergs.
