DISTINGUISHING FEATURES A scar running from the middle of his lower right arm up to his elbow from breaking his arm, and a scar on his left eyebrow from a dog attack. It's left a bare patch of skin where the scar formed.

CLOTHING STYLE Like his brother Asher, Adam enjoys nicer looking clothes. He likes name brand t-shirts and jeans, and will occasionally wear a collared shirt if it fits him right (meaning accents his body). He likes tighter fitting shirts, though the jeans are probably going to be a little looser. For the warmer months he likes mesh shorts and light colored t-shirts, and does not mind wearing flip flops on occasion. He's pretty content with just about anything, but if he can get his hands on nicer shirts and jeans he will, even if it means stealing from Asher's closet.

POSITIVE TRAITS

• LOYAL || Although he can be fickle about his friendships, he has an insane loyalty to his element. If you mess with the Fires, you mess with him. End of story. If people manage to break through his really hard outer shell he can be a loyal friend too. It just takes time.
  
• SOCIAL || Adam can be a dick, but is not afraid to socialize with other people by any means. In fact, he thrives on being around other people and does not do well when alone. He can deal if he has to, but being with his friends is definitely a better environment for him.
  
• CONFIDENT || He is very sure of himself. Adam always has a feeling that he will succeed in whatever he does. This goes with school, his powers, and women in no particular order. Any jabs at who he is will not usually bother him, but if it does he will retaliate in anger.
  
• INDEPENDENT || Adam likes to do things for himself, no matter what it is. He hates relying on other people for support or help in any way, and would probably rather wind up dead than admit he can't do something on his own. Only his family has seen his more dependent side, though it is small.
  
• FLIRTY || This kid is relentless when he flirts. You could be two, five, ten years older than him and if he finds you the least bit attractive you can expect a showering of complements. He is not afraid to do it in front of their significant others, if they have one, because he doesn't see the harm in complementing a beautiful woman.
  
• LEADER || Hot head or not, his confidence, charisma, and social skills make him an effective leader. He knows what he wants, how he wants it, and is solid in his decisions. He hates people making decisions for him, and does not deal well with indecisiveness.
  

NEGATIVE TRAITS

• HOT-HEADED || When Adam gets mad, he gets mad. He's not afraid to show it, either, and it does not always take a lot to set him off. Insulting his element, his friends, or his family is a big mistake. You'll find yourself in a flurry of fists and foul words.
  
• COCKY || Straight up, Adam thinks he's the shit. He has that typical teenage mentality of 'invincibility' and that not much can stand in his way. This gets him into a lot of fights and arguments, but he does not really care.
  
• STUBBORN || He can't stand to admit he is wrong. Even if he knows he does not have the upper hand or the correct answer does not matter, he'll argue or fight until his face turns blue (or black). He'd rather you relent and/or drop the subject than say that you were right.
  
• RUDE || This kid has no filter. He says whatever comes to mind, and does not give a shit if it hurts your feelings or not. He tends to be a little less calloused with women, but if you step on his toes he'll be sure to lash out. He enjoys cutting people down with words just as much as he does with his fists.
  
• GUARDED || Adam is an ass hole, but he does have feelings. Feelings he hates having, especially the more sensitive ones that make him 'look' weak. He never discusses his past, and hates talking about his emotions. Good luck to the one who tries to open him up.
  
• MANIPULATIVE || If things don't go his way, and he knows that forcing someone with aggression won't work, he'll do whatever is necessary to try and place the odds in his favor, such as flattery and guilt trips. We all know it is not always effective, but hey, can't blame a guy for tryin'.
  
• REBELLIOUS || You tell him not to cross a line, he'll do it anyway just to see what you'll actually do. He does not like to be placed in a set of guidelines or rules, and does not do well with authority (except his mother, on most all occasions). Adam raises his middle finger to the system.

BEST MEMORY Moving to Maple Hollow to start a fresh life with Molly and Asher after Collin was arrested. He won't admit to it, but having his family in Canada away from that man makes makes him happy. He feels they are safest here.

WORST MEMORY When he was eight, a large dog of mixed breed escaped its yard and attacked him. The dog did a good number on his face and left a few scars. It was this incident that led him to fear most (if not all) large dogs.

LONG-TERM GOAL To be a journalist, or something dealing with English.

MOTHER Molly Theresa Rizzo (40), Waitress. - Wind element

FATHER Collin Jonathan Rizzo (43), Incarcerated. - Fire element

SIBLINGS Asher Jonathan Rizzo (18), High School Student. - Wind element

OTHER Gregory Neils (57), Auto Shop Owner

HISTORY Adam was born to Molly and Collin Rizzo around the time Asher was five years old. They lived in a small town in Colorado; his parents moved there after graduating from the Academy and Collin proposed to Molly shortly after the fact. When he was seven years old, a bit too young to fully remember the events but old enough to register that it happened, his father was sent to jail for drug trafficking and murder. Turned out Collin had been running a drug business in his auto shop for quite a few years, and when one of the deals went bad he not only killed the buyer but an innocent bystander as well. It was a heavy blow to the family, and around the time Adam turned eight they moved up to Maple Hollow to start their life anew. He was unaware of the struggles his mother was dealing with and how it had affected Asher. Instead, after Collin's incarceration, he responded to the changes with anger and bitterness. This only grew to become a problem as he got older. Initially it seemed like he was just going through a phase, a response to all of the changes and shock, but the attitude remained. When he was nine years old, he watched as Asher went off to school at the Academy as a Wind elemental. Molly had an inkling as to which element her younger son might be but did not say anything on the matter.

Asher had taken to the auto repair business rather quickly--about two years after he started at the Academy--and Adam was furious about this at first. He did not understand why Asher would want to work in the same business as their dad. For a time after this the boy ignored his older brother out of spite for "following in the bastards' footsteps". It did not last incredibly long but enough to cause Molly distress. Her upset was what brought the boy back around. Greg, the auto shop owner, started to help the family out in whatever ways he could. He treated the family like his own and Adam was silently grateful for the support. The man was as close to a father figure as he would ever get, or ever allow. Aside from the trauma Collin caused the family, Adam (and Asher to an extent) was one of the reasons Molly hesitated finding herself in a relationship with anyone else. She did not want to put her children through anymore turmoil. Instead she worked as a waitress making good tips and enough to cover what was needed to keep them afloat. Gregory helped out a lot though and their life was comfortable. While Adam was in middle school he did get himself into quite a bit of trouble, being as rebellious and hot headed as he was. Fights, bullying the younger kids (more verbally than anything else), and hanging around the wrong crowd. He affiliated himself with a "gang" of sorts for a while but ended that when he realized he would be sinking into the world that his father fell into. He refused to be like him.

As he got older, though he was temperamental as ever, he became more social and managed to at least find a few people he could be around that were not bad influences. He finally accepted that his brother was a mechanic and took to visiting the shop often to keep him company and help Greg with minor tasks that did not require him to be around all of the machinery. Sweeping or filing old receipts, small things that the boy could manage to give him a sense of fulfillment. Adam did not outwardly admit it but he enjoyed being around his brother and one of the only ways he felt he could have common ground with Asher was by being around the cars and the auto shop. He asked a lot of questions about the Academy too, interested in what it was Asher did there. Adam knew what his mother and father were, what Asher was, and had a feeling he would soon follow. When he turned thirteen his element manifested itself. He was excited but angry about the fact that he was a Fire (due to Collin), but wanted to relish in the power he held. He is now starting up at the Academy and will now be at the same school as his older brother Asher.
