Early Winter

The atmosphere is festive at this time of year, but there's always the shadow of something a little eerie in the winter months.

History
- Adam was born in Gdańsk, in Poland, in a family of musicians. His father was a Jazz composer and his mother was a pianist. From the young age, little Adaś was drawn to music and proven himself to have a good ear. - His early life was uneventful, he was a good student both in regular and musical school, but in his teenage years, he begun writing his own songs and that started gaining him some popularity and eventually even contracts and comissions. - While his primary focus was avantgarde jazz, he dabbled into rock and electronic music as well, inspired by the liked of Kraftwerk and Mike Oldfield. Although piano was his main instrument, Adam began learning every instrument he could find, - Once he finished musical university, he started a band. He gathered his friends from school and ended up playing progressive rock, with him being a keyboardist and composer for most of the tracks. He kept his Jazz work as personal project, though. - Good times, didn't last forever, though. Adam ended up clashing with the main singer of the band, Krzysztof. They were secretly a couple, but the messy break up lead to a lot of spite from both sides. However, Krzysztof had a secret, he had some fae heritage and he called upon his ancestors to place a curse on Adam. - One day Adam woke up and saw the cute tattoo he had as a reminder of relationship with Krzysztof, a cat chasing some notes, scratched out. And then things went magically south... - He found out he had powers. Sometimes they'd activate when he was on stage, breaking equipment, causing weather disturbances, making his hands glued to keys... It became apparent he couldn't play anymore. So the band broke up. - The Polish Exchange caught wind of something weird happening, given how the live performance mishaps ended up showing on Youtube and Adam was approached and when it happened, he was an utter mess. Poor man didn't know what was happening to him, so he was assigned a mentor. Grateful for the help he was given, he decided to help investigate supernatural affairs, given his penchant for mingling, first as a cohort. He spent a lot of time learning new things and training his body to withstand what the magical creatures would throw at him. Or his own curse would throw at him. Adam proven himself to be a good mediator and investigator. Became a go-to informer. - It took him about 10 years to properly catch up with the supernatural world, but he did it!, - Then he finally earned his agent status, he was reassigned to Easthaven as the recruitment was low and Adam volunteered for a change of scenery and settled down for five years already, partnered up with Kumo Lawson to soften her temper a little bit.

Spells & Powers
- Song/Sound - Adam was a musician. If there is a sound he can hear, he can amplify it to be more audible, lower the volume and change it's pitch to be more bearable or simply even just mute it. - Illusion - That would have been a crowd pleaser. For a brief time, he can project a small visualization of an item or a person on his palm, the details being as good as his memory. Can serve as distraction. - Animate - A tricky one, Adam needs music playing or at least sing for it to happen, but he can make objects move to it, according to his will.

Minor Magic Abilities
'C'mere': If he whistles a certain tune, Adam can make a small object come to him. Roll, shuffle or hop.

Other Magic Notes
The Seven Sorrows: 1. Charlie Brown: A raincloud appears over his head. It spreads to whoever touches him. Effect lasts for 5 posts. 2. Eepy...: He fell asleep standing. If happens during encounter, Adam skips his turn to roll strike/cinder, but the hostile doesn't skip their round, which might earn them a cheap hit. Outside encounter, he can be just roused back again. 3. Backmasking: Adam speaks backwards for 5 posts. To not make it too easy, he writes backwards, too. 4. Wash your hands, boy: Adam's hands produce sticky slime, making it tougher to handle equipment and fight. Remove 1d6 from the strike pool. Lasts a 5 posts. 5. Earworm: The most annoying song he could imagine gets stuck in his head and the more he tries to ignore it, the louder it sounds. Spreads with touch, song differs from person to person. Lasts 5 posts. 5. Handworm: A hole in the palm of left hand appears, a grub lives in there. You can't get rid of the grub, it just appears again. Adam named it 'Hans'. The hole is itchy and irritating to touch, making Adam unable to use this hand. Remove one 1d6 from Strike pool. Lasts a day. 6. Bubbles: You're lucky. It's just soap bubbles. They might appear from the most random of places in one short burst. 7. Restless leg: Adam can't stop tapping one leg. It makes him uncoordinated. Remove 1d6 from strike and cinder pool. 8. Too loud: Adam's hearing becomes oversensitive for 5 posts, if there's something loud going during an encounter, he might freeze and not perform action. 10. I forgot my--...: His wallet and phone appeared back at his home. Might be a blessing if he lost them in the first place. 11. Contrarian: His tongue goes against his will. He will decline things he wants and agree upon things he doesn't want. Lasts 5 posts. 12. Finale.: And for the last trick, a random object will loudly fall and crash.
