Appearance ;; Adam Jackson is a rather tall young man standing at a rather muscular 5,10 weighing a brawny 190 lbs. He often sports a hair cut of medium length brown hair that is naturally soft and wavy though it is often in quite a mess because of Adam's bad habit of rubbing his hands through it when ever he gets really nervous. This often causes his powers to make his hair stick up. Adam's most striking feature however is his bright emerald green eyes. People often say that they are often very unnerving or unnatural so because of this Adam often wears reflective aviators to cover them. He wears these for a larger reason however. The biggest reason he wears the sunglasses everywhere is to hide his right eye in particular. He is blind in that eye due to his first fight with a monster as a young child. He has a scar that goes from under his eyebrow through his eye and to the top of his right cheek. Even though he fancies himself a strong young man he is rather embarrassed about it.
Aside from his shades, Adam's normal outfit usually normally consist of his purple camp t-shirt, a sky blue cloth hooded trench coat with pockets on both the inside and outside (he likes to carry snacks around) and jeans or cargo pants.
Personality ;; Adam is nothing if not confidant and strong willed..at least around men. He will do almost anything to pull out a win just short of putting those he loves at risk. He will try anything at least once and during that once he will put himself completely into the task so that he does it well. His favorite activities are Reading,training or drawing. The reason he still reads and draws even after the loss of one of his eyes is not only so he looks normal but also because he appreciates and savors the fact that he still has his good eye so he likes using it for art and reading.
Adam is normally a easy going guy but there are a few things that piss him right off. The biggest of these being when someone tries to sneak up behind him and steal his glasses or mocks him for his eye while staying on his right side so that he can't see them. He also hates when people borrow his books without asking him first or returned them with bent pages.
If you do wrong Adam you better look out because he can be rather vengeful if the action permits it. He would get you back by doing something as small as using a gust of wind to give you a bad hair day or go to such extremes as using a small tornado to move your bed and all of your belongings to your cabins roof and refuse to get them down until he is apologized too.
Adam deep deep down can be quite a softy if treated right. If you are girl and he fancies you he will often go out of his way to do romantic things for you such as draw you personal pieces of art work or use his power over the air to take you for a flight. His normal friends he will still treat right by taking them out to eat or just hang out with you. If you can get Adam to take off his glasses in front of you or for you, you know you have a place in his heart.
Powers ;; Aerokinetic- As a grand son of Jupiter, Adam has the ability to control the very air around him. He uses this in both combat as well as his daily life. In combat he will often pair this ability with his weapon of choice, a hooked cane by either spinning the staff to create small tornados or swinging his staff to launch large gusts of wind at his foes. He will also use the winds to make his cane levitate in the air as he stood on it like a skate board to fly through the air while using side winds to keep him balanced. He may be the grand child of a god but his powers do have limits.
He can only lift himself about 10 feet in the air using gusts of wind without strain, any higher and he begins to feel his energy leaving him at a rapid pace. He can only stay airborn for about 10-12 minutes at a time if he goes past his height limit.
He is able to control powerful winds of about 100 mph for about 7-10 minutes before he begins to feel exhausted or gets a nose bleed from the strain. His most complicated technique is when he creates a large tornado under his feet to lift him up and then summons the winds all around him for an all out attack.
Outside of battle he will use his command over the wind to help people decorate things, lift things or just for carnival style tricks if he is truly bored with his day.
Resistance to lightning- Even though Adam can't control lightning like some of his relatives he is still rather resistant too it. This means that unlike most demi-gods who would be floored or possibly die from a direct lightning strike, Adam is able to take it and endure what pain he does feel from it and keep on fighting.
Good leadership qualities-Being the grandson of Jupiter the king of the roman gods, Adam is a natural born leader who will do anything to keep all in his troop alive and pull out a victory.
Family ;; Gordon Jackson ( age 40 but died at 30)- Son of Jupiter/father of Adam Jackson
Julia Jackson (alive: age 37)-mortal mother of Adam Jackson
Jupiter-grand father.
History ;; Like all legacy stories, Adam's begins before his birth. Adam was born a legacy to the demi-god son of Jupiter named Gordon Jackson and his mortal wife Julia. Gordon had served with his demi-god cohort until he had turned 18 since he had joined it when he turned eight. He was a strong built short haired brunette with sky blue eyes. He then decided to go off into the mortal world to try and make something of himself that didn't involve fighting monsters for a living. Normal life proved a challenge for the young demi-god however as every few months he would have to pick up and move because of monster attacks.
It had gotten so bad that by the time he reached the sunny state of Florida he was about ready to turn back and go back to New Rome. That was until he wandered upon a festival held by the prier where local artists were showing off their art work. The art ranged from drawings to paintings and even sculptures. As Gordon checked out booth after booth he couldn't help but be impressed. At the very edge of the displays however sat the booth that impressed him the most. A young red long curly haired green eyed woman who not only had portrait paintings but also landscape drawings and bust sculptures of the portraits.
Gordon approached this woman who named herself as Julia and the two quickly hit it off and got into a relationship. The pair dated for about five years until the young demi-god finally told the love of his life who his father was and instead of flipping out, Julia embraced it and loved Gordon all the more. The couple tied the knot not long after after Gordon turned 23. The couple then moved into a large home which had it's basement converted into an art studio with a glass sun roof. It wasn't long after that they had baby Adam.
In order to keep his new family safe, Gordon spent all of his nights patrolling the area around his home. He faced many a threat while his wife and baby slept including furies, hell hounds and harpies. Gordon knew that it was dangerous for himself and his family to stay in one place but he also knew that he couldn't just uproot his family every few weeks. Little did he know that decision would lead to tragedy.
Gordon spent the next seven years defending his home during both day and night from all kinds of monster while earning all kinds of scars and burns for his trouble. The aging demi-god was growing tired rather quickly but it honestly didn't matter because he was still fully happy with his family.
Adam's young life aside from his father constantly defending him and his mother from monster attacks, his life was rather normal. Since it was to dangerous for him to attend normal school both Gordon and Julia home schooled the young boy. When he was done with his schooling for the day, Adam would often be found with his mother in the art studio drawing or sculpting. When Adam's powers awakened at the age of eight it ended with wet clay all over the studio walls as a result of a large sneeze.
For the next two years after that day, Gordon trained Adam to control his abilities to such a fine point that he could blow his mothers paintings dry without ripping them by making small breezes or so strongly that he could use winds to lift chairs.
Everything seemed to be on the up and up until the night of Adam's 10th birthday. Adam's parents had brought him up into the art studio for a small party with just the three of them with music,cake and ice cream. When it came time for gifts, Gordon presented his son with a staff he had had made with a metal hooked end made out of imperial gold. He also presented Adam with a small wooden box with the camp Jupiter crest on it. The box contained a seal envelop which contained a letter for the camp explaining who Adam was. The letter at the very bottom had something very special. It had a magical seal placed on the paper. It wasn't just a seal, but the seal of the king of the gods Jupiter. Gordon had prayed to his father and asked him to claim his grand son in the form of the personal stamp. Adam's mother presented her son with a sky blue hooded cloth trench coats with pockets on both the inside and outside so that he could carry his art supplies or snacks with him.
Before the family could cut the cake however tragedy struck. A flock of Harpies bust through the art studio's glass sun roof and attacked the three. Gordon did his best to protect his family but was soon overwhelmed while Adam tried to help him fight. The young father had just lost too much blood while giving his wife time to hide. Thinking that the battle had been one and all the monsters defeated, Adam ran over to his dying father to try and get him to hold on, losing track of what was around him.
As the young legacy embraced his dying father, he heard his mother yelling at him to look out. He then heard the loud sound of a harpies dying shriek as she charged at him with it's claw. Adam quickly turned his body to blow a gust of wind straight through the foe but not before the harpy managed to land a slash straight down Adam's right eye damaging it beyond repair.
As the harpy turned to dust, Julia did her best to patch up her sons eye. She then regretfully grabbed her son, his staff and the box containing the important letter and left her dead husband in the blood stained studio. She then quickly drove her son to San Francisco using directions her husband had given her to reach the domain of Lupa so that their son could truly be tested to see if he was worthy of the legion. Adam's mother took her son as far as she could but since she was a mortal she couldn't enter the domain of Lupa.
Adam knew that he must walk the rest of the way and so he took his coat, his staff and the wooden box with his letter and entered the Wolf house to begin his time with Lupa's pack. While among her and her wolves he endured things like random attacks, hunts for food as well as various other tests. At the end of the week, Lupa deemed Adam worthy of the Legion and let him go on his way to be with his new family.
When Adam arrived at camp the medics tried to repair his eye and try and give him back his sight in the injured eye but it was beyond nectures healing effects. When he was offered an eye patch Adam declined it and picked out a pair of Reflective aviators so that he could keep it hidden and yet not covered. The young demi-god then spent the next 7 years training in hopes that he could keep what happened to his father and himself would never happen to others.
During the third war, Adam fought hard alongside his cohort in order to keep the city safe. He used the very winds around him along with his prized staff in order to cut down monster after monster. When the war was over, the camp had won the day and Adam managed to keep his other eye.
During the government intervention a year later, Adam's mother had requested he come home for a funeral of a family friend. Adam had just left right before the crap hit the fan. By the time Adam learned about what was happening and made it back home it was already over. Adam felt bad for this and felt as if he had let down his 2nd family but since his mother had personally asked him to be there for her, he couldn't refuse.
Once the young Legacy returned to camp Jupiter it was back to business as usual. Adam went back to training, hanging out with his friends and working on his art. He wanted to enjoy life for as long as he could because there was no way of telling when the next war would start.

Sample RP ;; Adam couldn't really believe it! It was only two months to not only the young Legacies 18th birthday but also the eight year anniversary of his fathers death and the loss of his own right eye. The closer the date got the sadder Adam became. The sadder he became the more out of control his powers were.
In order to not hurt anyone by accident, Adam decided that it would be best that he stayed away from them. In order to do so Adam made his way to the little tiber with his cane in his right hand so that he wouldn't trip over anything on his right. Once he was there the young Legacy arrived he gently sat his cane down in the sand and then sat down next to it and pulled his knees to his chest with a sigh.
"I can't believe it's already been almost eight years since you died dad. I hope you're proud of me. I've tried to live up to your example and make both you and mom proud."
Adam then looked down at his reflection in the large river and decided to remove his reflective sunglasses since he was alone. He then just stared down at himself to see a slightly whited out scarred right eye staring back at himself. The wound was so old now but the memories that accompanied it still felt so fresh and painful that they burned Adam to his very core. It wasn't long before tears began to drip into the river from the left side of Adam's face causing him to quickly wipe it and put his sun glasses back on his face with a sad sigh. He refused to let anyone else that he loved to feel such a burning agonizing pain.
Adam just forced himself to smile and take hold of his cane. He then stood up and with a mighty push of his legs jumped into the air and used his powers to cause the winds to carry him. He made the winds force increase as he thrust his cane up into the air as a way to cut through it as he broke through the clouds and into the sky, his grandfathers domain. He then looked down onto Camp Jupiter, his home and protectorate.
"I promise that I won't let this place fall as long as I live father and grandfather. I will keep it safe for the rest of my days."
