Adam Blake is a star on the Lacrosse team of Seaside Academy, and the son of local businessman Aaron Blake. His grandparents are also well known, his grandfather being none other than Judge Charles Blake, a recently retired icon in the judicial community of Seaside and Monterey. It’s a very good thing that his family has as much reputation as it does, because outside of his impressive academic success and his position on the team, Adam has very little reputation to speak of.

Character Details

Personality

If there were ever a more relaxed and calm guy, he’s yet to show his face at Seaside Academy. Adam is the very picture of calm. Easy going, friendly, and a gifted athlete, Adam breaks the mold of ‘dumb jock’ without much effort. That doesn’t mean, of course, that he doesn’t have his faults. He’s painfully awkward around girls which is often marked up to simply lacking that portion of the brain, and when all else fails…Adam’s ability to resist peer pressure caves in like a styrofoam cup.

Bio

Adam was born into a family of privilege…On one side at least. His mother was little more than a child when she found herself pregnant and his father, 21 years his mothers senior, was more than excited to tie the knot and begin a life with his beautiful, now expecting, wife.

Still, a girl coming from a middle class upbringing can become overwhelmed by the luxuries of old money, and before long the new life coupled with the addition to a screaming infant son was enough to send Katie running for the hills. of course, a few months later Adam’s now single father Aaron found himself forking over a good chunk of change to the newly engaged girl that would eventually prove to be more trouble than she was worth.

Aaron raised Adam on his own, helping the boy through the hurdles of life, from his first words (presumably ‘cookie’) to his first steps that sent Aaron and the toddler to the ER for the first time. Still, with each new phase of his sons life, the father grew to appreciate his own life and what he’d come to have. Money did help though. A successful businessman in the restaurant industry, Aaron had built his own fortune without the help of his parents own wealth. This brought him much in the way of attention, and it was just that attention one night that brought a beautiful and young woman by the name of Allison knocking upon his door.

Allison took to Adam right away, and picked up where his absent mother had neglected. She tended to the toddler, mothered him, and filled a void that he’d been unable to grasp. Now 6, Adam accepted the woman and before long the union between Allison and Aaron was official. This time, however, the marriage stuck.

Adam grew into a well rounded young man with an head for business and a willingness to work that made his father proud. His grandparents, of course, never failed to suffocate the boy with attention, and by the time he’s turned 15 he was already batting away the offers of cars and prep schools. This all changed of course when Seaside expressed interest in the young man’s Lacrosse abilities. The promise of team playing (a team so much better than the one at his old school) won the jock over. He started at the dawn of his Sophomore year, put on his uniform, and became yet another snob in the city of Seaside. Now 17 and entering his junior year, however, he’s failed to adapt to the ‘snob lifestyle’ that so many of his peers enjoy. Of well, sometimes you just can’t learn everything, right?

That Other Stuff

Tucked at the end of Sunset Cove, the Blake family reside in their three story home with a carefully tended yard, expansive space, and historical standing. The house is old, fully restored to its original beauty. The family doesn’t have many parties in the home, instead preferring one of Adam’s father’s restaurants for get-togethers and meetings. The house comes complete with a pool that seldom sees anyone more than once a summer.

Relationships

Family

Name	Relation	Notes
Aaron Blake	Father	Adam’s father is a local businessman known for his success in the restaurant industry. He is also a Seaside alumni himself, and never misses an opportunity to boast of his son's impressive lacrosse skills and academic performance. He also never misses one of Adam’s games.
Allison Anthony-Blake	Stepmother	Allison married into the family when Adam was still young, and despite being *much* younger than his father, she continues to be the model mother to the teen. She's also quite the looker, which has lead to a few problems for the young man during his teenage life.
Charles Blake	Grandfather	Judge Charles Blake remains an icon in the areas judicial community. He's also a proud grandfather who, like his wife Annie, never passes up a chance to dote on his one and only grandson. He also prides his family on hard work.
Abbey Grace Blake	Half-Sister	She's only just turned 2, but the toddler is a constant fixture on the teenage boys leg these days. Adam enjoys having a little one around the house, admittedly, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to hurl himself out the window at times.

Friends

Name	Relation	Notes
Emmanuelle Maier	Friend	Emma is essentially a goody-goody, which is likely why Adam finds her to be not only a breath of fresh air, but a pretty easy person to tolerate as well. Snobs are a dime a dozen in Seaside, but at least Emma resolves to be that accepting neutral that the school and the community desperately needs, even if he himself has the occasional bouts of self importance.

Neutral

Name	Relation	Notes
Angelia Kates	The Ex.	Angelia and Adam have been an on again/off again thing for the most of their teenage years. Her father works closely with Adam’s father and grandfather on business ventures, meaning that the two have grown up next to one another. Also means that she’s still present in his life even after the recent (and legendary) dumping (June 3, 2010).
Cairine Taylor	Acquaintance	Adam met Cairine the same night he met Kitty. In fact Cairine might be the only reason Kitty didn't go karate kid on his ass. Regardless, Cairine was pretty cool, and when Adam had to run due to a rather annoying cell call, he did make the mental note to look the girl up again.
