Dragon Age: Inquisition Verse: The World Traveler
[This verse follows after the DA2 verse]After the events of DA2 Adam continued to travel outside of Kirkwall, eventually making his way to the Orlesian courts as a visiting Ferelden noble, his entrance onto the scene was mostly ignored aside from a bit of gossip that a Ferelden was fairly entertaining when he made appearances at Orlesian parties and that he could seemingly get anything if a deal was made with him.When the rift in the sky happened Adam first decided to do what he planned to do if the world was going to end again. But shortly after he received a letter from Varric and made his way to Haven to help his old friend, plus cracking some skulls beside him sounded like a grand time and he was sure there'd be no shortage of things to entertain himself. He arrived at Haven not too long before it was lost which gave him little time to catch up with friends before business got in the way.

Fallout New Vegas Verse: The DeserterAdam was born the bastard son of a NCR politician and a prostitute, his mother was a loving mother until her death from a disease she got from one of her clients. His mother's pimp quickly found a use for him as blackmail on his politician father, who when his wife learned of it cunningly decided to use the bastard for pr and adopted him into their loveless family. They treated him like a nuisance most of the time but a nuisance that must look well-fed and well taken care of.As the years went by he became the perfect political tool, quiet and obedient, until he eventually fell in with a gang of hoodlums and his life made a sharp right turn. He was quickly taken out of his shell by the gang of kids his age and took up some much more reckless behavior, such as fighting and flirting. After a while, this bled into his father's political life and he was arrested. His father cut a deal and he was out of jail but was forced into the military almost immediately.He was in the NCR military for about 5 years before the first battle for Hoover Dam in which his entire squad was wiped out by the Legion and he deserted his post to save himself. He ended up in Freeside as a bodyguard for hire, keeping his head down whenever NCR patrols made there way through. He normally just guards people heading through Freeside but is also known to accompany people out of vegas.

Veilguard Verse: The Noble TravellerWith Corypheus defeated and Solas run off doing his odd Solas things, Adam decided to take leave of what remained of the Inquisition. He travelled the northern lands of Thedas for the first time, enjoying Antiva especially. He would eventually run into Varric and Rook while aiding the Shadow Dragons in Tevinter, ever the one for such acts of heroism even as time caught up with him.After Solas' ritual Adam could be found and recruited in Minrathous, during the quest clearing out Darkspawn and Venatori in the tunnels beneath the Hideout. Remembering Rook (along with Harding and Neve if there) he decided to aid the group since, well Varric was never wrong when it came to Heroes who were going to save the day. He would return to the Lighthouse and find a room just below Neve's having appeared for him.

Combat skills: Sword and Board, Heavy Armor, Dirty TricksAdam's Veilguard personal story is really just his internal struggle of whether to risk it all and die in a heroic struggle or be cautious and survive the game.If he survives he goes back to the land of his birth and takes control of finally and truly rebuilding his hometown.Personality and other ChangesHaving reached his forties he's mellowed out to a degree, he is still ever the flirt but in a much classier sort of way. He has become much more of a refined looking man unlike his old roguish style, now sporting longer hair and a groomed beard.No longer being as spry he decided to go back to the less flashy basics he was raised on, that said he still can't stop himself from doing an unneeded flourish from time to time.
Baldur's Gate 3: The Bastard BardBorn in Baldur's Gate's red light district to a prostitute after a night with a Noble, he lived with his loving mother until she died when he was 8 years old. The Matron of the brothel spoke with the Nobleman and his wife and struck a deal, he would be adopted into the noble family with a sizeable "donation" to the Matron and in turn no one would have proof that he was truly the nobleman's bastard son.Adam became a model child in public, mainly out of fear of his step mother at first, but as he grew up he would find it in his best interest and pleasure to make friends and more with nobles. Little did his family or other Nobility know but this change in attitude came from falling in with a gang in the slums he once lived in which gave him quite a boost to confidence and bravery.With that boost by the age of 16 he had become something of a shameless flirt of a man, ending up in the beds of many young men and women and by 20 this became true within his interactions with the Nobility as well. By this time he'd also found a knack for bardic magics and threw himself deeper into poetics as well as picked up a few more instruments to play as party tricks and what not.And by the age of 26 he was a frequent flyer to almost every pub in the city and could talk his way into most parties. One such party which was held on the rooftop garden of some person he'd never caught the name of, just so happened as the kidnapping Nautiloid came to the city and picked him right up. After his kidnapping he only awoke again near the crash site at an abandoned dock near Astarion and just out of earshot and sight of each other.
