Weapon:Duo Argentum
He uses two Imperial Gold Gladius Hispanense swords in combat. He fights in a form of combat very similar to the one used by ancient dimachaerii gladiators. He uses both swords in tangent with each other and makes use of offense and defense by mixing them both with his twin swords. As a fighter he fights in a much more close style and prefers to use swift and decisive strikes in combat. He is extremely aggressive as a fighter and employs finely tuned anger and rage in between his attacks to deal more damage.
Personality: Adrian is a charismatic and energetic individual who loves nothing but to get along with everybody. As a guy who was raised by a strict yet high standard of living, he is generally a well-mannered and courteous guy who likes to compliment and flirt with people, regardless of gender or background. Most of the time he prefers to just talk to people instead of actually raising any red flag that might indicate any form of aggression. He usually has a cheerful smile on his face, but for some reason is said to have a certain sadness around him. He generally tries to be a helpful and cheerful in all of his dealings.
However, it would be foolish to think for a second that that smile he has is one without any underlying senses or agendas. Adrian is a shred and crafty individual who, while capable of great feats such as diplomatic leadership and military command, he is also capable of shady actions such as striking bargains that seem too-good-to-be-true. He is incredibly opportunistic yet is mature enough to wait for the right time to move his pieces on the board. While he may seem like a physically powerful person, he is at his strongest when he is outside of combat. He has a strict disdain for combat and openly eschews it as something barbaric and unbecoming of good Roman men and women. He believes that the key of success lies not in the sword, but in the lips of he who holds such sword. Indeed, Adrian is a master in the art of seduction by words being more than adept at pulling people to his side while at the same time carefully analyzing what course of action would be best. In many ways he would prefer to stay away from any rowdiness and would opt for peaceful negotiations and harmless discussions.
Aside from his talents as an orator, Adrian displays a sincerely kind and compassionate demeanor who is more than willing to fight for his believes if words fail him. He may be a pacifist, but he is by no means a coward. In fact, Adrian has a small habit of actually facing his enemies without anything but a sword sheathed to his side and his hands grades behind his back so he may open a conversation of pros and cons with his enemies about any impending battle that may occur. Adrian is surprisingly honorable and treats both friend and foe with the same level of respect he is expected to be treated by. He refuses to attack a person who is not capable of defending themselves and is disgusted by needless fighting. When faced with failure, Adrian remarkably takes justly due blame for his mistakes and openly admits to his wrongdoings. In his meantime, when he is not mediation arguments between people and striking bargains out of personal gain, he can be found enjoying an intriguing game of chess, reading interesting tomes and volumes on various subjects, enjoying stimulating conversations about topics such as Machiavelianism and Chivalry, and partaking in amusing games of poker.
While a good orator, he is far from serious and as such Adrian can often be seen making wise cracks and comments on the situation on hand, with respect of course. He often enjoys knowing any good gossip that might exist and often grants favors or money to people who give him enough secrets. He doesn't necessarily use such gossip against other people, but he may spread them casually. He also enjoys pranking other people constantly and is not afraid of teasing others, however he would never truly bully others.
Flaws:- He is honorable, but brutal in his strategist and dealings, caring little if the opposing front is incapable of handling the situation. He however is only ruthless whenever his enemies have some sort of weapon to defend themselves with.
- He can annoy people who love fighting easily.
- He can be a hypocrite sometimes.
- He often comes off as arrogant to people who don't know him well enough.
- He has gotten hurt physically due to his policy of not fighting unless it is impossible to resist.
- While generally soft-spoken and kind, he has been known to, on rare occasions, display a rude, cold and standoffish attitude.
- He often acts tough due to his belief that he has to defend his home at all costs, but this has come at the prize of him sometimes overestimating his own strength and abilities.
- Technically it is illegal to drink and as such this shouldn't e a big thing, but whenever Adrian drinks he becomes the opposite of what he is. Instead of a nice, kind and cheerful fellow, he becomes a mean, obnoxious and highly destructive individual who has no self-control.

However, his more offensive powers such as the ability to turn paper into weapons has a duration of two posts and a cooldown of four posts.
Life Before CJ: Adrian had an odd and lonely childhood. He was always surrounded by friends and such, but he was distant from his workaholic mother, who he rarely got to see. He had an average life growing up since he had companions in school to hang out and play with and he had a particular nanny who took care of him like if he was her son. The few times he did spend with his mother were wasted on her teaching him about finances and law matters such as how to act in court and what words to use during events as such. He didn't really resent his mother, for she was his only family, but he wasn't particularly close to her. In fact, the only few memories he has of her that didn't consist of studying till one in the morning were quite pleasant ones, like the moments when her mother and him ate disgusting, lavish meals, only to ditch them in favor of Brooklyn style pizza, or when they went on Summer Vacations together. When Adrian was eight years of age, his mother gave him a luxurious an extravagant gift, a rare wolf she managed to sneak into the city, Initially. Adrian was afraid of the wild animal, but he came to love it like a pet dog and a hard six months of teaching it how to work and act, the wild wolf became a docile, domesticated pet. Adrian was very close to his pet and developed a sort of emotional connection with it. However, after a mysterious man with a suit and tie came to his mother's upper east side apartment, inviting Adrian to an academy for special youths in California, his mother granted him her consent and he was able to leave her care under the condition hat he brought the wolf alongside. It turns out that this man was really an illusion that his mother believed she saw in her dreams. An illusion cast by Lupa herself in order to bring Adrian to the Wolf House where he would be taught how to behave like a proper Roman. It turns out that Lupa not only managed to cast a hypnotic spell on his other, granting him permission to go, but also instructed his favorite nanny to travel with him to California, along with enough cash for the trip and his passport. By the time she figured out what had happened, it was already too late. Adrian had left New York with his Nanny. Immediately, Ms. Silvers ( for she was not married) contracted the Nanny who by that point reached California along with Adrian and had come up to the Wolf Hosue where she was told by Lupa, who used hr hypnotic powers again, to fool her into truly believing he was going to a luxurious private school. Since While Adrian's mother was skeptic at first, once she heard her son's voice through the phone, she heard how happy he was and a pitch of joy she had not heard before and decided to believe that he had indeed enrolled into a private school. By phone she gave her son permission to attend and afterwards, it became official. He had been assigned the Wolf House under the pretext of it being a private school. Afterwards, Lupa herself trained Adrian in the ways of combat, in her usual strict and militaristic way, and revealed to him who his father was and also showed him how to use his latent powers. After nearly two years of training, by when he turned 10, he 'graduated' and was accepted into Camp Jupiter as a probation. Their, he proved his worth by going through several tasks alongside older Romans and harsh drills until he was accepted as full member of the Twelfth Legion. The rest is well, history.
RP Example:
Uh-oh, they were at it again. This fierce competition between a runaway Greek and a more educated Roman who had come face-to-face. At the rate they were shouting and snarling at each other, it would only be a matter of seconds before they were at each other's throats with knives brough forth. While Adrian had been reading a nice book on Maximilian Robespierre and his life, he could not allow these to to kill each other or even fight. Immediately, he got up from his chair and walked over to the squabbling twosome. He placed himself in the middle of the two and separated them with his hands. To make matters worst, or more ridiculous. the two were children of the same god, Mars/Ares.
"Now, my dear friends, is this such way stop speak to each other. Are we not, after all, sons and daughters of the great gods and goddesses of Olympus. In fact, aren't you two brothers estranged by only name and trivial category. Roman, Greek, are we not men of prestigious birth? Must two brothers who should be embracing one another as siblings delve to such barbarism, instead of acceptance?" said Adrian as he spoke to both in a calmed and slightly mocking tone whenever the mention of violence or any allusion to such was mentioned.
The two other demigods then closed their eyes and summoned their own weapons. However, instead of aiming them at each other, they aimed them at Adrian.
'You're right! I've found something more annoying than a Greek! A talker like you!" said the Roman as he poked his spear at Adrain.
Adrian himself used his power and dashed off as quickly as he could before those two brutes chased after him.
