Name: Adam Rydell
Nickname: Pain Killer
Age: 18
Height: 6’5’’
Weight: 237 lbs
Appearance:
Mid length black hair with blond highlights at the front, it always seems to find its way into his eyes. He usually wears a red tank top with black jeans and a black leather trench coat. He often wears black finger gloves when fighting, and black shoes. He also wears a belt with a gold dragon's head as the buckle. Finally, he has a black dragon with a red eye tattooed on his right shoulder, right above the bicep.
Eyes: Bright blue.
Nationality: American.
Build: Fairly big, he has well defined muscles. His arms are much more defined then his legs, as he uses them more. The only visible scar he has goes through the end of his right eyebrow. Despite the amount of fights he's been in, most of his injuries have not left a scar.
Fighting Style:
Mainly a brawler, he made up his style on his own. The majority of his attacks use punches. He sees kicks as distasteful, and the cowards way of keeping someone at a distance instead of fighting close, however he still uses them if he sees an opportunity. He enjoys fighting dirty. He'll often taunt when there is a break in the fighting, and he enjoys a good challenge. Tends to go for limb-disabling attacks, as they usually end the fight much more quickly, and will utilize wrestling submission holds that he has seen on TV, often to a more devestating result than his televised counterparts.
Personality:
Very proud of his abilities, to the point where he will fight simply for the fact to prove that he is the best. Has difficulty connecting to people, since his early years weren’t spent socializing. Often pessimistic, angry, and outright rude, though he does have his moments where his playful manner will surface. Unfortunately, given his lack of friends, this is rarely seen in a positive situation, instead, often manifesting itself as taunting and arrogance towards his opponents. Suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder. His intelligence is questionable at times, though he has impressive fighting instincts.
History:
Born into a family of five, Adam believed his early years were normal. However, as he grew older, he noticed his family all suffered from mental illnesses, or as he called it, “The Darkness”, which grew into being a female voice in his mind, telling him to do horrible things.
Because of this voice, he wound up getting into fights at school, and killing several pets of his “friends”, who quickly stopped seeing him afterwards. His parents drove his sister out of the house early on, and his brother soon thereafter, believing them to be “spawns of the devil”, thanks to their mental disorders. Being too young to remember, Adam went on to believe he was an only child. Believing their youngest son would follow in the same footsteps as his siblings, Adam’s parents placed him in the car and began to drive him deep into the forest, intent on abandoning him to fate.
However, fate seemed to have other plans for young Adam.
His parents died in a car accident on the way there, leaving the ten year old without a family. Soon thereafter, he was adopted into a foster home, where “The Darkness” would fade into the recesses of his mind, not be heard from again for several years. He would leave after one week to hitchhike to the farthest place he could get to: New Orleans. From an early age, he roamed the streets picking fights for money. When he turned fifteen, he was picked up by a drug dealer and was used as a "collector", beating up people who had not paid their debts. He had the singular talent of being able to take massive amounts of abuse, since he had been in fights for all his life. After he was sent to beat up a pretty girl, she used her "feminine charms" to manipulate him into turning on the man who had taken him in and stealing drugs for her. After doing everything she asked, she dumped him for another man.
This drove him mad, and he demanded to fight her new boyfriend, believing that he could not be defeated. The boyfriend, Trent, soundly defeated Adam and left him for dead in the gutter. As he lay dying in the street, a long forgotten voice whispered in his mind, promising to give him life for his obedience in return.
He crawled his way to a hospital and recovered.
Despite his recovery, he knew he could never defeat Trent with the attributes he currently possessed. Up until this point, he had relied upon wearing out his opponent with his constitution, but it had not worked on Trent, so he joined a local boxing team in order to learn how to put more power into his punches.
Vowing revenge, he followed Trent to Japan, where Trent was being trained to enter a fighting tournament. Adam entered the tournament in disguise, and in the final round, fought with Trent. Trent believed that the masked man was some sort of joke, and at first barely took the fight seriously. As the battle raged on, he quickly discovered that his opponent was taking everything he was dishing out. Adam then managed to throw Trent out of the ring after feigning injury, and then unmasked himself. Beaten and humiliated, Trent jumped off a bridge into his seemingly inevitable death, but when Adam went to where he had seen Trent's body wash ashore, it was gone.
Believing Trent was no longer a threat, Adam lived in Japan for a while. He decided to make money in a legitimate way, and entered the teenage boxing arena for a while, but soon felt that he was missing something in his life. “The Darkness” had receded again, not directly giving him orders anymore but instead influencing his mind with subtlety.
Deciding that he might as well go back to America, he enrolled in Varron Academy, not knowing what sort of school it was. He would need an education in order to get a career that would pay any sort of money he could live off of.
Varron History:
From the first day he was enrolled, Adam found out he fit in quite well with the rest of the students at Varron Academy. Among them, he was considered almost normal. He even made his first friend, Lain Miasa, who later on was inexplicably able to keep “The Darkness” at bay with her very presence.
After learning about the bombings performed by Marcus, he was determined to meet the man, but this brought him into conflict with one Bruce Gillis. The two started off with a friendly rivalry, but during a match in the woods, they were interrupted by Kazuki, who proceeded to soundly defeat the fatigued Pain Killer. Upon awakening, he found that “The Darkness” had returned, inspiring him once again to find Marcus. Using more ruthless tactics, he caught the attention of the man in question and had his meeting, where he learned he wasn’t quite up to the standards needed.
Determined to prove himself, he went on a rampage in the streets under Her supervision, killing several gang members and an innocent civilian. This brought him to the attention of Dain, who managed to put an end to his destructive assault. Yet, it seemed that Dain was more intent on helping him overcome his disorder, rather then punish him for it.
Following that incident, Adam tried to make up for some of what he had done, saving a student from a gang beating while barely surviving the results. The beating, however, unlocked “The Darkness” in his mind once again; undoing what mental barrier had been set up from his friendship with Lain, and making him flee the school, horrified at what he could have done. After attacking another girl, he was confronted by Lain and Dain again, who managed to drive “The Darkness” from his mind, leaving him painfully vulnerable.
Having been freed from Her influence, he set out to begin redeeming himself for his past mistakes. Unfortunately, his often extreme methods of combatting those he saw as "evil" would often dwell in his mind, forcing Adam to label himself as being the very monster he fought to combat. This cycle would continue for quite some time, forcing the young man to doubt himself as well as his abilities, until finally he came to a conclusion. He would perform one last act of redemption, then end his life. His chosen act would be to assist Pan in experiencing positive feelings again, something it seemed she had given up, given his impression from meeting her on the few occasions they interacted.
Still, progress was slow, something he was not used to.
Even as this trend continued, Adam would be confronted with a demon from his past. Trent had followed him to Varron, armed with medical documents that proved the two are, in fact, brothers. Still, despite this newfound knowledge, Adam refused to follow his brother, after learning through their conversation that Trent was unstable, his suspiscions soon being proven as Trent crucified Pain Killer against a nearby church's doors, driving two daggers through Adam's forearms. While pinned to the holy building, Trent gave his brother an inappropriately intimate kiss, scarring Adam's mind permanently. While he was eventually saved by Bruce and Dain, Adam has still been unable to recover from this incident, leaving him terrified at the thought of facing his brother in combat again. Despite urgings from many other students, including Bruce and Kyukaku, Adam has refused to intervene against his brother, even after hearing of the horrible things he has done.
Fresh off of recovery from his run-in with his brother, Pain Killer would soon be encountered by another student who would give him a purpose for his life, other than drifting as he had been doing thus far. After saving a student from a few bullies in a particularly violent fashion, Adam would be confronted by one Stern Mason. Stern saw right through Adam's motives, calling Pain Killer a monster, but one that had his uses. Placing the blame on the school system itself, Stern easily swayed Adam into following his orders, the older student's loyalty falling behind only Zeniro, Stern's second in command. Under Stern's direction, Adam and his partner Aryck have come into conflict with several of those Pain Killer may have called "friends" earlier, including Kyukaku and Bruce. To this date, Adam continues to follow Stern, believing that he is doing the right thing. Whether this truly is the case has yet to be determined.

Mya Rydell (NPC):
Status: Active
Description: Short, about six inches long, dyed purple hair. Spiked in the back, while the bangs fall into her eyes. Mya is seen as being quite attractive, physically fit, though she has limited, if any, fighting experience.
Relation: Sister
Suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder. “The Darkness” inside her made her commit five murders before being shot by the police during an attempt on the president’s life. Upon recovery, she was tried and sent to a psychiatric ward, where she was deemed fit to return to society. Soon thereafter, she was raped by her brother, Trent, and in an attempt at suicide, killed the developing fetus inside her. Somehow, she has managed to stay positive and trusting, often joking and flirting with those she's known for only a short time.
Trent Rydell:
Status: Active
Relation: Brother
Trent has seemingly survived his troubled childhood, and is now targeting Adam in order to bring his brother under his control. Perverted, psychotic, and downright evil, Trent has become a threat to many of the citizens of Varron city.
Strengths:
His punches are powerful and he has a high endurance of pain from all the beatings he grew accustomed to as a child. His taunting sometimes works on opponents who are susceptible to such tactics. In making his own style, he can surprise his opponents. Arrogance makes him refuse to give up in cases where he is seemingly outmatched, sometimes bringing him victory from the jaws of defeat.
Weaknesses:
Kicks aren't nearly as strong as most fighters. By making his own style, it hasn't been tested against many experienced fighters, so there could be many weaknesses in it. This also means that he has trouble recognizing styles of his opponents, and therefore cannot compensate to counteract, leaving him to improvise on the fly. His speed is barely average, which leads to him taking much more hits then he should. Therefore, he relies on his toughness to win fights. He is an arrogant fighter, who is just as likely to taunt his opponent as he is to take a swing at him. If he loses his confidence, he loses his will to fight. Due to his mental battle with “The Darkness”, he is now easily manipulated by those who are skilled in such arts, making him an easy target for some mind games.
