Personality: Adam's motto in life consists of two words: who cares. Adam isn't into riches or fame or power or any of that useless rubbish. Instead, he finds solace in the comfort of his music. He can play an assortment of instruments, his favourite being the guitar, and also has a fairly good singing voice. He airily claims that one day his all-wizard band, XCalibur (which includes two of his brothers and his best friend, Malcolm Baddock), will be even bigger than the Weird Sisters, but if they do get there or not, he doesn't really care. Adam is a bit of a free spirit, who goes wherever the wind takes him. He doesn't get into wars or stupid crap like that, because he feels they're just pointless. "Just leave me alone and go off yourselves for all I care."

He has a certain dislike for popular music and will occasionally go on seemingly endless rants about how pathetic the music scene is nowadays. He prefers the more hardcore rock stuff, anything he can jam to with his guitar. However, he does have a secret passion for Michael Jackson songs, and if anyone were to ever find out about that, he'd hex them six ways from Sunday.

Despite it all, however, he does hold a soft spot for his family, though he has a funny way of showing it. He's not the type of bloke to go around giving hugs and love to his family members, but if any of them need him to hex someone's knickers off, he'll be more than glad to oblige. He's especially protective of his sister, Aurora, though that's probably because she's the only girl, and all the other brothers are protective of her as well. Even though he's the youngest of seven, he's probably the loudest in the sense that if he wants something, you better believe he's going to badger you about it until you budge.

His most infamous trait is that of not caring whether he gets into trouble or not. Of course, he doesn't really care about anything anyway, but he finds that authority is boring. Mob rule is much more exciting. He isn't stupid by any means. He just -- yup, you guessed it -- doesn't care enough to argue about anything. His favourite word? Whatever. "Hey Adam, whatchu have for breakfast?" "Whatever." "Oh, did it taste good?" "Whatever." "That bad, huh?" "Whatever!" He's not much of a talker, but he does have great ideas lodged in his head. For instance, his reasoning behind his not caring for authority is that he feels rules need not be followed. He thoroughly respects people who enforce rules, but rules themselves? They're just words. They're more like guidelines anyway. So... Who cares! And... Whatever!

History: It wasn't strange at all to be born into a family with five older brothers and an older sister. It may have seemed that way to anyone who dropped in on the Bradley household, but to Adam, having six older siblings was perfectly normal. So long as they didn't bother him, he wouldn't get them into trouble. That was his specialty. As a child, Adam had a knack for doing mischievous things and ceremoniously leaving the scene of the crime. Thus, when another sibling would walk in on the mayhem he caused, that unfortunate sibling would be blamed for the incident. He rarely got caught either, except for that one time he put mustard in his second older brother's shoe, and his fourth older brother caught him in the act. It was poorly planned anyway, and he only got about a week of extra chores around the house. Nothing major.

It wasn't that he hated his siblings or resented his parents or anything like that. He wasn't looking to rebel against his Pureblooded roots. He was no one's martyr. He just... liked to have a little bit of fun here and there. Where was the harm in that? And it was really no surprise when Adam received his Hogwarts letter or when the Sorting Hat placed him in Slytherin. If Adam would have cared enough about where he was going to be sorted, he would have been placed in Ravenclaw with his sister. But when the Sorting Hat mentioned Slytherin, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Go for it."

However, once there, Adam was quite glad to have been placed in Slytherin, because it was where he met his best friend, Malcolm Baddock, whom he wouldn't have met had he been placed any where else. Malcolm and Adam became fast friends, sharing the same tastes in music and having similar apathetic views about the world. They could have been related if Adam didn't already have a whole slew of siblings. And the years went on much like this, Adam lounging about, scraping by with average marks and wasting his talent as his parents said. Adam's response? "Whatever." He knew he wanted to be a rockstar, and there was just no other way around it. Hell, the Weird Sisters did it. Why the hell couldn't he?

During the battle of Hogwarts, Adam was more than adamant about leaving the place. Malcolm was already long gone, the coward, but Adam had held back, because he hadn't seen his sister. Finally spotting her down a random corridor, he pretty much begged her to go and wouldn't leave her side unless she did. Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall caught sight of him and kindly escorted him off the property, aka dragging him out by his ear. "Ow, watch it! I'm getting that pierced in a few years." His protests were not enough to get him back to his sister, so he had to wait moodily until she returned. After his graduation, Adam set up a few gigs for him and his band to play at. He's currently working part-time at Eeylops Owl Emporium, not because he likes owls or anything, but because he needs the money to make rent on the flat he shares with Malcolm in London.
