Overview

Adam Forrer was never meant to live an ordinary life.

Born through genetic manipulation as part of a Di Inferi experiment, Adam was separated from his twin sister at birth and placed with adoptive parents, Victor and Elizabeth Forrer. Victor, a Di Inferi-aligned scientist, had specifically engineered Adam to be nearly immune to pain while his sister was designed to be the opposite: hypersensitive to both pain and emotion. Neither child knows the other exists.

Adam’s childhood in Freienbach was cold, but not violent. Victor remained distant and clinical, while Elizabeth offered what little warmth she could before her tragic and suspicious death. Adam never questioned his parents’ secrecy, though he always knew he was different. Even as a baby, he never cried. He broke bones and felt nothing. Pain, to him, was an abstract idea.

Victor knew exactly what he was raising: not a son, but a subject.

Project Ghost

After Elizabeth’s death, Victor continued his experiments in secret. When Adam turned 18, he joined the CCD military as a way to escape home. He excelled in infantry training, unaware that his future had already been decided.

While Adam served, Victor traveled to Moscow and pitched a proposal to Paragon, under Ephraim Haart. The concept was simple on paper: develop cybernetic soldiers to counter the rise of channelers, but the truth was far more complex. With Victor’s pain-immune son as the test subject, Project Ghost was approved.

Adam agreed to join the project under false pretenses. He believed he would be helping to develop prosthetics for disabled veterans. But before his service ended, a training accident was staged. Adam was declared dead. In truth, Victor had bribed his way to Adam’s body and transported him to a hidden Paragon facility.

The first implant replaced Adam’s damaged arm with a cybernetic one. It was a success. More procedures followed. Muscle grafts. Retinal enhancements. Neural interfaces. Victor’s real goal wasn’t cybernetics or even battlefield superiority. It was the same goal the Di Inferi had always pursued: immortality.

To Victor, Adam was the prototype.
To Paragon, he was a living weapon.
To himself, he was still just a soldier trying to do what was right.

Cybernetic Enhancements (Current)

Cyberarm: Reinforced strength; synced with smart pistol; fingerprint-locked to Ghost.
Retinal HUD: Targeting, messaging, night/thermal vision.
Auditory Implant: Enhanced hearing; Bluetooth communication.
Neural Motor Interface: Connects to exoskeletal muscle supports.
Muscle Fiber Grafts: Enhanced strength, speed, and trauma resistance.
Biofuel Cell: Converts glucose to energy for implants (requires high sugar intake).
Nanomedical Repair: Self-healing nanobots combat damage and infection.
Bluetooth Chip: Links HUD and auditory implant to external systems.
Kill Switch (Unknown to Adam): Remotely disables sensory and motor implants.

Psychological Profile

Adam is quiet, observant, and deeply insecure. Years of surgical alterations have left him scarred physically and mentally. Once considered attractive, he now avoids mirrors. His cybernetic eyes appear human, hazel in color, but he knows the difference. His body functions like a weapon. He worries that’s all it is. He follows orders and believes in protecting others, but beneath that, there’s a fear: that he was made for something terrible. And that it might be true.
