Mental Information
Personality: Adrian is, for lack of a better term, arrogant as hell. He was born into a higher-class family and he knows it full well. While he can be incredibly fun to be around and a sparkling personality when he wants to be, when he doesn't want or need to be, he's generally looking down his nose at anyone who didn't have the brains to have been born into a higher station in life. Basically, even though he can be an arrogant ass, it is still strangely hard to not like him, especially when he turns on the charm.
UPDATE: Losing his wealth also caused the young man to lose a good deal of his arrogance. After all, much of his condescension came from the feeling that he had more money than everyone else, and now that he doesn't...
Despite that, his usual charm shines through even more now, though, for the most part, his arrogant put-down and condescending tones have been replaced by smart-ass comebacks and a sarcastic tone, respectively. Even so, he is generally much easier to approach as of late because of this.
Mentality: Adrian is quite sane, as any of the Hanlon family's personal doctors and psychologists would tell you. In truth, the young man is as sane as any other normal person.
Update: Without the passion of money backing him, Adrian has taken up his more underlying passions, which causes him to occasionally reach an intensity bordering on mental instability. However, whether it does or not depends on one's perspective, and Adrian is still a mentally sound young man.
Ideal: "God gives you what you need, and you use it to win."
Belief: Fairly devout Catholic.
Physical Information
Build: Adrian has a well-toned build, of course, with some amount of bulk on him. He is built in a sort of 'all-rounder' body type, and from a glance, he would not look to be based on either speed or strength. He shows great muscle definition without looking too cut and/or jacked, and is also a bit more beefy than the average martial-artist or what-not that roams the halls of PHS 259. Or PHS 42, for that matter.
Head: Sporting a scarless, chiseled face, Adrian is, put simply, one of the premiere definitions of classically handsome. A defined nose, bright blue eyes, and a flawless facial structure round out the young man's face, and semi-short blond hair,parted in the middle slicked backwards without product, for a messy look, and about eight inches long at longest, compliment his features nicely.
Torso: Adrian's midsection is, once again, well-defined, the structure of a young man who takes very good care of himself. His pectorals are well-defined, and he has a clear-cut six-pack that does not look overworked or forced. His chest is fairly broad, but still retains a lean quality to it.
Arms: Adrian's arms are a bit long for his height, but are well-cut and fairly muscular. They look like a clean punch from one could send someone reeling.
Legs: Similar to his arms, Adrian's legs are also a bit long, and similarly proportioned.
Feet: ... they're feet. Adrian's feet look like you'd expect feet to.
Apparel Information
((I've opted to simply show you a series of pictures with short descriptions.))
Unlike before, Adrian is a lot less specific about what he wears, though the style can basically boil down to what is viewed above. Black or dark blue pants, generally jeans instead of the shown leather, and a belt to cover the bottom, and a button-down shirt of various colors. Adrian favors the pink and gold shirt shown, but also has a black and silver shirt with similar designs. Although boots are shown, and Adrian can and will wear them, he generally instead wears a pair of simple black canvas shoes. Instead of fingerless gloves, as can be seen, Adrian now dons black full-fingered ones, if he wears them at all. On his middle finger of his left hand is a ring, but unlike the one shown, Adrian's ring is adorned with the Reaper symbol. He will wear it either over his glove or on his finger if he doesn't wear the gloves.
Other deviations from the picture include the collar around his neck and the studded anklet, and the earring.
Adrian still has his Athletics outfit, however, one of the few simple legacies of his past.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: Classic boxing, very slightly modified.
Years Practiced: 12 years, since age 5.
Description of style: Adrian is a user of boxing in the classic sense, in such that focuses more on wearing an opponent down and controlling a fight, rather than simply wailing away powerhouse punches. He is almost entirely a fist fighter, rarely if ever resorting to kicks and/or elbows. He focuses on a fairly simplified fighting system of blocking, parrying, and attacking. Adrian does understand the concept of a competitive match versus a real fight, however, and though he believes the gentlemanly art of boxing is still superior to the 'more base and vulgar' forms of fighting, he will occasionally use dirty tactics to get an edge, and understands the need to defend against more than just punching when out of an official ring.
Fighting Style: Self-titled "Wild Boxing"
Years Practiced: Less than 1
Description of style: The style Adrian was working on before his abduction, but only in light of his new personality after his abduction could he have ever fully formed it. He still focuses heavily on fists; however, low kicks and grapples have entered their way into his repertoire as well. The way he punches has also changed drastically. Instead of picking apart his target piece by piece with range finders and outside blows, Adrian's new style revolves around him getting in his opponent's face, swinging as hard as he can, making sure each blow is either a knockout blow, or a total bitch to block. Mix that in with elbows and the aforementioned kicks and grapples, and any other dirty tactics he may require, and it makes for a distinctive, if not effective, fighting style.
Strengths: Adrian is a particularly well-built guy. His style of fighting lends itself towards being more stationary than your usual kung-fu master, and as such, he can take a punch or kick better than most people. His stamina is also fairly high, as his style of fighting is used to prolong the fight and wear down an opponent. Finally, when he does go for the big punch, it is a big punch. Despite his only somewhat-bulky appearance, Adrian is, pound-for-pound, quite strong, and getting punched by him is likely going to hurt.
Weaknesses: Physically, while Adrian is moderately fast on his feet, he didn't train himself to dodge. Thus, aside from basic slipping, bobbing and weaving that most boxers know, Adrian is not adept with, nor like to use even if he was, most advanced and/or intricate methods of evading enemy attacks. Another weakness Adrian possesses, however, is his stubbornness.Adrian will almost flat-out refuse to learn or adapt to any situation that doesn't have him boxing his opponent. If someone, therefore, has a sure-fire advantage against any boxer, it is highly unlikely Adrian will be able to win the bout, as he will stubbornly keep trying to punch until he loses. Adrian has realized the error of his ways and has taken steps to fix this, though he still relies heavily upon his fists and upper body attacks.

History Information
History: If one had to put down a few things the state of California is likely best known for, it would most likely be Hollywood, the beaches, and the astounding amount of affluence that pervades the state. Adrian Hanlon, son of Bill Hanlon, Jr. of Hanlon Networking and his wife Caitlyn, was born with the silver spoon lodged firmly in his mouth. William Hanlon, Sr. had left his son a large company, dealing in internet marketing and personal and business networking, which had come a long way from the family business, which began back in Ireland as an almost nationwide mail route. Now, the family's blood runs almost entirely blue, and what used to be a self-made family has become the priviledged upper class.
And as such, Bill's only son, Adrian, knew little else. He was tended to and waited on hand and foot, and never had to ask twice for anything in his life, ever. He was given everything he wanted, and all Bill ever asked in return was that Adrian live up to what he still considered to be the 'honor of the family name'. Unfortunately for Bill, his thoughts were a little skewed, as most anyone who knew of Hanlon Networking, Inc. knew that the Hanlons, by this point, had little to nothing to do with the day-to-day workings. They had become figureheads, getting fat off their company's business deals and doing nothing to account for it. Even so, Adrian, still a young boy, wished to make his father proud. So, when his father wanted him to take up the gentlemanly art of boxing, he did.
Adrian trained hard daily, and grew to be a pretty proficient boxer. Unfortunately, with the ability to fight came the desire to, and since the rich are almost always with their fair share of enemies, with the desire came the means. At the private school where he was enrolled, Adrian would constantly come under fire. The outrageous arrogance that roiled through the halls caused almost every student there, for some reason or another, to think that their family's wealth somehow superceded every other family's wealth, and names, taunts and jeers were all too common amongst the hateful youngsters. Adrian, however, had fists to back up his words, and fights were common. As if the Hanlon name hadn't been smeared enough by the family's general lack of involvment in their own industry, now their only son was becoming a bully and a troublemaker. After multiple documented cases of bullying against students, and a few against faculty, Adrian was expelled from his school. All the other private schools in the region got wind of the youngster, and blacklisted him from their schools as well.
Bill and Caitlyn were forced to make a decision: Either enroll Adrian amongst the lesser, lower-class trash in, God forbid, a public school, or homeschool him themselves. It seemed to be such an easy decision for their poor child, but they were both always so busy, with their 'business trips', and their boating, and their golf games...
Upon his arrival at 259, Adrian quickly fell into servitude of one Mathew Amtrum, after foolishly making a bet before he knew what he was getting himself into. Not too terribly long after that, a series of earthquakes suddenly make 259 unsafe. Adrian's folks had recently gotten a letter from PHS 42, informing them that the estate wished to have the son of the esteemed Hanlon family attend their school. Thus, the Hanlons were so swelled with self-pride that, even if nothing had happened at 259, Adrian would have still been shipped out to #42 within the week.
Living Status Information[/u]
Type of resident: The Hanlons purchased a condominium for Adrian almost immediately after the fact, a million-dollar luxury estate at the Soma Grand.
