Character Pros:
Adel is an extremely good listener as he is a musician. He has been playing the piano since he was about six years old. He isn’t biased and once you warm up his icy front, he’s just a big teddy bear with a less than pleased smile.
Character Flaws:
He is a bit harsh with his words, at most times, what he may believe is constructive criticism might actually be something a bit hurtful towards the person. He has a tending to snap at people who really bother him, especially the people who make fun of his name (Since it is a female’s name in French). He has a habit of holding grudges against people.

Bio:
Adel was born and raised in the country of Germany, physically born in Berlin. He grew up speaking fluent German, secretly teaching himself English since his father never approved of Western culture. At the age of five, he first sat down in front of the grand piano of his massive home, lightly pressing on random keys, making soft sounds. It intrigued him very much, but his opinions of the music was silenced by his parents as his mother was close to deaf and his father so strict about what happened in the house. He never brought it up until his father walked in on his playing a chord. It was when he turned six that he finally began taking official lessons, giving his father much praise then. But time continued on and his love for the piano still grew but more arguments ensued between father and son. Adel wanted to expand his lessons and learn everything--his father only wanted traditional German music.

Adel was often heavily criticized on his music by his father, Adel would bark right back with insults saying that his father never knew anything about anything. Yelling often in English at the man because he knew he couldn't understand it, knowing he also hated it. Because of his father, Adel began to push everyone away who even began to try speaking to him about music. He believes himself lucky to have inherited his mother's sense of compassion and believes the only thing he took from his father is stubbornness. He left home after his eighteenth birthday and began making a living by playing his piano at sophisticated restaurants and the like. Though, he does miss home a little.
Extra Information:
He carries around a silver pendant in his front pocket that once belonged to his great grandparents, it is a bit tarnished and you almost barely see what is engraved upon it, he can barely read it himself. Adel has a younger sister who has grown a passion for the sciences--he tends not to mention her at all since she always took the side of his father.
