Adam

Adam (アダム) is a former experiment who was born and raised in Lambda 7214. Before being transported to Goldy Pond, he became the gatekeeper of the Goldy Pond Resistance.

History
Adam is an orphan who was born at Lambda 7214, a facility for experimenting on human children. He spent his early life being subjected to various experiments and tests. At some point, he was shipped out to Goldy Pond to become prey for the Poachers to hunt.

Appearance
Adam is large and bulky, with a sumo-like physique, elongated and extremely muscular arms, large hands, a small amount of wispy, short blonde hair and a round face with a large nose. Adam has prominent veins across his body, with the most obvious being two on his forehead. He is far taller than the other kids in Goldy Pond. Adam also has Lambda's identifying brand tattooed onto the left side of his chest. He wears a plain white sleeveless tunic with white pants and no shoes.

Personality
Adam's personality is generally unknown, but he lacks a significant mental capacity, with even Leuvis referring to him as a "simpleton", and "incapable of complex thought". Leuvis used this strategically during their battle, dodging debris thrown at him so it instead hit other Goldy Pond Resistance members. Adam is mostly mute with the only word in his vocabulary being "22194" - Norman's farm identifier. After the Goldy Pond battle, he also added Emma's number - "63194"- to his vocabulary. Despite Adam's powerful combat abilities and simple nature, he seems to be friendly with the other children, as evidenced by his interactions with them after everyone returned to Shelter B06-32.

Adam also seems to need a lot more food than other children, or at the least prefers more, as evidenced by a bonus comic of Paula bringing him leftover loaves of bread, including at least seven loaves, far more than any of the other children would eat in a single meal.

Violet seems to be the best at communicating with Adam, since she explained that he has trouble understanding conventional language, and also issued orders to attack Leuvis during their battle.

Search For Minerva Arc
Adam is introduced by Violet as the gatekeeper for the Goldy Pond Resistance, with Violet stating that he has trouble understanding language and that they need to explain things to him in simple terms. Adam repeats "22194" almost constantly, which is Norman's identifier. Adam is integral to defeating Leuvis in the Resistance's plan to retake Goldy Pond, and delivers several crippling blows during the battle. It is later revealed to Leuvis that Adam is from Bayon's investment, Lambda 7214.

Human World Arc
Upon arriving in the Human World, Adam is seen to be visibly worried and shocked about Emma's disappearance. Adam, along with the other children, agrees to search for Emma so they can reunite with her again. Over the next two years spent in the Human World, Adam began attending school. During spring 2049, he finally reunites with Emma again and cries tears of joy, even though she lost her memories.

Enhanced Strength
Due to the experiments performed on him, Adam is capable of lifting and throwing heavy debris, as well as being the only human capable of injuring Leuvis with only his fists

Enhanced Durability
Adam took a direct jab from Leuvis, and barely took any damage even when thrown into a building.
