Description oh man it's My Boi Adam

I've been drawing this guy since I remember and he really needed a Proper Character Sheet™


Info:

Name: Adam Brunton
Height: 187 cm/6'1"
Species: human/swallow-tailed kite hybrid

A bit of backstory and exposition:

Adam is a hybrid type cross, which basically means that his mutation has been done with genetic injections and transplantations (he's been born completely human). Chimera type, which is also mentioned here, is a mutation of the embryo, which is done in vitro - usually by merging two species together. 
His mutation started when he was 4 years old, gradually injecting a special liquid factor containing DNA and supplements. His wings and tail were transplanted from a living specimen when he was 6. They were fully developed by the age of 10; that's also when he started his training in combat and tactics. Adam's also received personal education from a young age, focusing mostly on literature, history, biology and chemistry.
He finished his training 8 years later (he was 18 years old), and on this reference sheet he's 19 - the year when he's met Chris and joined his renegade group.

Personality:

Adam is stoic and cautious around strangers, careful of his words and actions as well as the stranger's. He has a habit of analyzing others and therefore he often assumes a lot about people, which they don't really enjoy, even if he's right (and often misjudges their anger as denial to his theories). He's quite limited in his social interactions - he has one way of dealing with people that he meets for the first time, which is basically putting a smile on his face and trying to keep the conversation as light as possible, which might come off as false to some. After getting to know him though, you get to learn about his expressive side - often grumpy and moody, but also passionate about things he enjoys and agitated about the ones he doesn't. He's not afraid to speak his mind and share his extensive knowledge. He values his friends a lot and it's a good idea to get on his better side - he's a great companion and a competent leader.

Trivia:

- His wings and tail are his weak points; due to them being artificially "stretched" their nerve endings are very fragile. Because of that he avoids close combat.
- His tibias, femurs, humerae and partially his pelvis are hollow inside, like bird bones. They were made so with a very painful process with using corrosive chemicals and DNA injections. It's been done when Adam was 12 (he wouldn't be able to fly otherwise).
- Adam is really, really bad with technology. He thinks it's unsafe, that every camera and microphone is bugged. He's only using electronics when it's absolutely neccessary.
- Birds seem to be drawn towards Adam, he often spends his free time with species from the area that he's in at the time. He particularly enjoys the company of the corvidae.
- The blue dot on his right eye is a remnant from the time when his eyes were blue - they changed to yellow along with genetic mutation.
- As Adam gets older he gets more and more bird-like - his actions become more instinct driven and more and more feathers cover his body.
- He wears simple and comfortable clothes in dull colors. He also wears small trinkets and accessories that have some sentimental value to him; a golden feather pendant that he got from his mother, a scarf given to him by Belan (a fallow deer hybrid), leather fingerless gloves that he got from Chris (leopard hybrid come on you sure know Chris) and training greaves that are a gift from the head of the Sanctuary called the Lizard (human/caiman lizard).


I mean of course I got more but who cares lol I'm not gonna write an essay here

Please don't copy the design, story or the character concept. He's my baby.
