Competitive

Women
Compulsive
Often late for everything (despite being organized)
Personality: Adam is the type of guy to tell you exactly what’s on his mind, even if you didn’t ask or want to know. He often always thinks of what he’s saying around his friends, though, making sure not offend any of them. His friends are like his second family, so he’s careful not to upset any of them. When in the company of a woman he finds particularly attractive, however, he usually says whatever he can think of, even if it makes him look like a complete moron.
He is also very adventurous and spontaneous, taking any of his friends up on an idea if he likes it enough. This has gotten him into trouble ever since he was little, and coupled with his competitiveness, has earned him his fair share of “enemies.” He played Quidditch in school and that’s the only place where his competitiveness was accepted.
Though he is organized, he is often late for many things even if he leaves twenty minutes before; something will always distract him along the way. And if you want to do something on the day of a Quidditch match, forget it: Adam always goes to games whenever he can get off work, and it’s a habit that’s made him break many dates and dinners with girls and friends, and since he loves it so much he doesn’t see a problem with this.
He is somewhat resistant to change, liking things they way they are for now. He doesn’t feel as if he needs a girlfriend, although he won’t necessarily turn a pretty girl away for a date. He likes being able to visit his parents often, and feels a girlfriend would only stop him from visiting as often as he would like.

- Siblings (if any, list names and ages): None
- Other family members (if significant): None relevant
History: Adam had a normal enough life growing up. He was born to Edith and Frank Jensen, high school sweethearts who married shortly after they graduated. He was born when they were only twenty-two, so he didn’t have the same toys or nice clothes like the other kids in the neighborhood had, simply because his parents were so young and didn’t have the money for the fancy things. His parents loved him, however, and that was all they needed, according to his mother.
When he was nine he started showing signs of being magical, something his parents would have never guessed. They didn’t know what was going on with him until a letter arrived explaining everything. They were still concerned, especially his mother who never believed in magic, thinking it only existed in stories and fairy tales. When Adam turned eleven he received his Hogwarts letter and his parents decided to let him go, thinking it wouldn’t be right to keep him at home. He was sorted into Gryffindor, which fit him perfectly as he always seemed to get into trouble because of the adventures he had with the kids in his neighborhood as he was growing up. Surprisingly, while Adam thought this would cause distress to his relationship with his parents, it only brought them closer; his mother wrote to him with all sorts of questions as to what Hogwarts was like, what things he was learning, and if he was enjoying himself. It bothered Adam and his friends, who all thought his mother was too attached to her son, but Adam always wrote back to her. In his fourth year he decided to try out for Quidditch, having loved the sport so much as a spectator. He made the team and played until his seventh year as a Beater. He didn’t get the opportunity to play after school, but he makes up for it by going to every game he possibly could.
He made friends quickly, but the one that meant the most to him was Tom. The two boys met their first day at Hogwarts and quickly bonded over the fact they were both muggle born, and exchanged stories of how their parents reacted. As they got older, they’d talk about the girls they liked, mess things up in potions together (they enjoyed seeing what would explode, a nightmare for the professor and students around them), and guaranteed each other they would always be friends. So far, they have been. The girls in school also liked him, his eyes and smile always drawing them in. He rarely dated, however, and only went out with the girls that really sparked his interest. He never had a lot of female friends, however, as he found it hard for him to allow new people in “his group” of friends after his fourth year. He was resistant to change in his friends, whom he regarded as his second family.
Currently, Adam is six years out of school and spends most of his time reading about and attending Quidditch games whenever he gets off work for them. He lives near his parents, something his mom wished for him to do because she felt they were apart too long during his schooling. Although he was annoyed he couldn’t get the apartment with Tom they had talked about, but figured their friendship was able to withstand not living that close. He's looking for jobs, stalling enough in hope that a job in journalism will come up and he'll be able to write about Quidditch, giving him an excuse to blow off plans to see the games.
Anything else? I’ve had Craig on hold for so long and I finally decided to use him. Also, Andi: I remember you mentioning friends for Richard, so I made Adam with that in mind. They could bond over Quidditch, haha.
I'm sure Andi will be the only one to understand this. Lol
