{The Basics-Appearance}
Height/Weight: [5'10"/175 lbs.]
Physical Description: [ This section will be broken down into several sections since he his going from a hollow into a Vasto Lordes:
A Simple Hollow-
The creature stands at a seven foot beast that takes form of a wingless humanoid dragon. The body and each limb are covered with segments of bone armor that exposes flesh with the head completely covered with the white mask. This beast moves as a human would due to the form that it takes on. Each bone armor are located at the shoulders, chest, groin, forearms, legs, and spine segments that break off down to the tip of the tail. The reason for which this hollow maintains its human shape is due to the fact that it was once a Shinigami that failed at attempting to control its hollowification process to become a Vizard. Which explains the torn black kimono that appears to be a black sleeveless coat with the lower region gone, and the tips of the back of the kimono is tattered and torn.
For the mask that covers the anguished being within is designed to ram into objects while keeping the being itself protected from the damage. As a solid white mask with an angled forehead that edges away from the face about five inches to create a small snout. The mask forms two pieces that make it whole, which is divided where the upper and lower jaw connect to each other. There is a small hole that is next to the sharp aligning teeth at the cheek that allows other people to see a small fragment of the person inside. As for the eye sockets, they are positioned at the sides of the mask. The forehead is clear and that is curved slightly from the top of the mask to the snout. Its chin points outward and curves down about an inch and ends there. For the jaw located below the pointed nose tip that has no air holes. Three black marking stripes run down messy from the center and the sides of the mask from top to bottom. This mask covers the entire head only leaving spiking silver hair poking out from the back of the mask.
For the body of the hollow has the segments of bone that act as armor that outline the joints of the body leaving some pieces of flesh exposed. Each bone armor is specialty formed for each segment of the body that crosses the line of both beast and human, making it difficult to distinguish the once human being from its beast like nature. The bone armor on his shoulders are several spikes that point outward. There are a total of four spikes on each shoulder that begin from the top of the shoulder and outline toward the back. For the creatures back there are five spine thorns that are four feet in length pointing outwards like the shoulder spikes. Each spike is sharp and capable of cutting and stabbing. As for the forearms of the hollow, the five fingers become talons with a the skeleton structure of wing flaps that grow from the entire arm up to the elbow joint. That will cover the upper half of the body which leaves the lower half now.
The groin area is platted down to the knee caps outlining the thigh muscles. This is the same for the shin that resembles a knights shin guards. This leaves the foot itself exposed, showing the sharp a single foot nails that grip the ground below. Even if he was once a human the five toes are now three talons. Not much going on for the lower region but the spine like tail that is sticking out from the center of the hollow's back. The entire tail holds onto the length of eight feet with a spear like tip. While the white bone armor segments cover several places of the body, underneath it all is black skin that retains the human portion of what it once was. However, even while each bone segment mirrors the material of bones the shapes are distorted to make them crystal like in nature. Because of his overall appearance this will make him weigh about 300 lbs and standing him at the height of 6 ft tall.
Menos Grande-
Not much can be described for a Menos except for the mask itself. It retains the shape in its previous form, but this time the hair is no longer coming from the back the eye sockets are no longer there. Just a clear sheen mask that covers where the eyes would have been. The size and weight will be the same as other Menos', which should be at the size of a skyscraper and a couple hundred tons.
Adjuchas-
The beast of beasts, the King of beasts. That is the form this monster refers to himself as. Standing at a height of 18 feet and the holds the length of 35 feet, this beast is big, strong, and ready to hunt for fresh game. Maybe not the largest Adjuchas that wanders the White Desert, but definitely one of the few that can due massive amounts of physical damage. Its four foot long jagged jaws that are designed to tear flesh and grind bones make as this Hollows main weapon of attack. The flawless shine of the bone marrow of its skull hold no flesh to cover the fearsome expression this beast is able to conjure. Whether he is hungry or pondering about something, the expression will forever reflect certain death to those who stand on the opposite side of him. The eye sockets are numerous. There are three small narrowed eye holes on both sides of where the one socket would be located, including an extra eye hole directly in the middle of face. The center eye socket rests about two inches from the 45 degree angle that runs away to form the three foot snout. Small ear ducts are located slightly between the center of the jaw line and the last side eye socket.
For the head to be lifted above the body itself the neck itself must be tough and muscular, which it is. With a small amount of muscular flesh hanging from the bladed spine it is able to support the head and allow him to turn to the sides without much difficulty. However, like the T-Rex, he can't arch his head back higher than a foot. No matter for his arms are long enough to help him rid the problem with little effort. This is probably the only feature that is separate from his natural form, for his arms are not skinny pegs but they are long enough for him to reach his jaws. With only four talons these thin rough arms are capable of reaching the back of his neck and some part of his back. While he is not fully able to reach all the way around his own body, the arms are still useful enough to protect the important areas and help support his body should he lean too far forward. Both arms possess a skeleton like structure that exposes black muscle tissue at the forearms, biceps, and triceps areas.
The body itself has been thinned out due to the constant running and fighting that Adrastos has been doing over the past centuries. Each of his ribs are visible to the eye with large chunks of meat that fill in the spaces between them. Even as the exposed flesh is revealing it does not mean that they are tender as actual flesh for they are part of outer layer that protects the monsters body. When viewing from a distance the body may appear to be a starving Tyrannosaurus but up close he is a healthy predator. As the body moves toward the hips, it tucks into the hips slightly before reaching the leg joints that give the beast its raw power in speed and stance.
The massive thighs on this animal show that it is capable of hunting at incredible speeds and prevent self injuries when maneuvering around a battlefield. Its thigh is about three inches shorter while the lower half is larger. This provides the Adjuchas a spring like motion while running that provides an extra added momentum to increase its overall speed. However, with a large body Adrastos can not move quickly at a moments notice. Being able to maneuver in a second it will take time to move at full speed. But it does nothing when his foot is pressing down on a body. With four small joints within the front portion of his feet, Adrastos is capable to readjusting each of his two foot long bladed toes to match the curves of the land or a body, allowing a better grip on what he stands on.
The tail is the last portion that makes the beast. Keeping true to its mixed form Adjuchas possess the muscle toned figure of a Tyrannosaurus but the form of a Spinosaurus. The added fat into the beginning part of the tail allows for a more powerful swing or swipe from the tail and delivers more damage, while as the heavy form begins to slender to the tip will allow more control and better precision. The total length of the tail is about 9 feet long and still retains a skeletal shape with little meat in the empty spaces.
Now for the detail markings for the Adjuchas. There are two diagonal healed scars that run across the chest area of the Adjuchas. Almost creating a full "X" shape this one is one of the past markings that was made while the beast was alive as a human. This mark holds little meaning to him besides as a constant reminder of his past battles and how not to take them lightly. Another scar that Adrastos has is the one that arches down his right brow down his socket to his cheek. A special scar this one is from when he failed to protect his lover. Her death was something that he could not bear and the mark is a nightmare that will forever follow him and urge him to become stronger. Besides from his scars that are visible to the naked eye, there are no black Hollow tattoos that are labeled on his body.
Vasto Lordes-
A fearsome beast in a human figure. Standing at a height of 5'10" Adrastos towers over most regular Vasto Lordes, except for those that are abnormal. In this form there are many differences that he takes on compared to his other Hollow forms. The skin color of the Hollow changes from a white color to a dark pale black figure that can be easily concealed in the shadows from the naked eye. Even as Adrastos enters a near human shape, like all other Vasto Lordes Adrastos keeps some traits from his weaker forms. Like his legs for example, they are similar to that of a humans but when the shins and ankles, they are more biped to apply more thrust for short distance maneuvering and allow better footing on whatever surface he is on.
For the head section of this Hollow, there are numerous changes to it from his other forms. The first is the shape of the mask itself. The eye sockets are all altered to small narrowed slits that are six inches wide. There are six slits in total that start three inches from the nostrils to the where the ears should be at. Each set of eye slits run perpendicular from the nose then zig-zags down the side of the head to the ears. As for the rest of the dark mask it remains a simple clean sheen except for the sword scar at the right side set of eye slits. The mouth itself is actually the entire mask itself. A set of two rows of razor blade jaws are shown when the Hollow opens it mouth. At each end of the jaw line is a pointed thorn like spike that is directed outwards away from the head. There are a total of four points. Opening the mouth is another means for Adrastos to see where he is going, for this is the reason why the mouth itself is larger than the other features on the head. But while the mouth is partially open this allows a small blast of steam to escape the cracks to apply that extra scare tactic.
Aside from the frontal aspect of the head there is the back portion as well. This is where the human perspective of Adrastos is revealed with his semi-long black hair slopes down to the back of his neck. Up close the brown color dyed streaks can be seen throughout his black hair, but from a distance his hair can be mistaken as a small tail escaping the small opening at the back end of his mask. Apart from his malformed beastial head is the thick human neck that connects the head and two broad shoulders of the body together. The neck and upper body of the Vasto Lordes is all bear skin and flesh of the hidden human. Retaining the pale white Hollow skin. His exposed arms and torso show that he is bulked up nearly to that of a professional body builder. Not exaggerated, like popping out veins but to the point where some of the larger veins will form when flexing. Each muscle is rough and perfectly honed from his years of battle and training, which also reveals his failures too. The cross shaped scar that stains the near perfect image of a sculpted body remains and even more visible than as a Adjuchas. The Hollow hole remains at its same position which is in the middle of the collar bone of the Hollow.
Adrastos' arms are also different from the other if they were compared to each other. How so, well that is due to the right arm being a concealed by a 8 foot double-bladed spear on both ends and the left arm is a bone shield gauntlet. The right arm is where the tail of the beast was relocated and only goes up to the elbow joint, leaving the bicep and triceps human shaped. For the spear itself resembles a fusion of a lancer's and Spartan's spear with no markings on the weapon. The same can be said for the left arm because the bone material only reaches up to the elbow to keep the rest of the arm human. The Lordes' arm is a beasts claw with a bone material over the actual hand and as the bone marrow runs parallel to the forearm it begins to widen itself away from the arm to form a ragged uneven 4'x 4' bone shield all the way to the elbow.
While the upper portion of the body retains what little human that is being freed from the encased bone everything below maintains the beast like nature of what Adrastos was before, including when he was a Shinigami. What is left of the Shinigami shuhakusho is now all but gone except for the torn and tattered upper piece that is tied around the Hollow's waist. Besides the reminisce of being a Shinigami the bone material covers the entire lower region of the body. The thighs are human shaped until going to the knees which are all beastial parts from passing through Adjuchas. The shins are thin but muscular all the way to the ankles and feet. For the ankles are collar shaped decorated with spikes that encircles the piece. As for the feet themselves there are a total of four talons. Three ragged curled nails are placed in front like that of a dinosaur while the fourth talon is located at the back of the sole, which enables Adrastos to grasp his victims in a pincer like grip.
All of the bone materials that cover Adrastos' body are colored black due to his past as a Shinigami which differentiates himself from other Hollows. It is also a label that he is a failed Shinigami who attempted Hollowification, and even among the Hollows he his viewed as a disgrace and a traitor to them.

This beast moves as a human would due to the form that it takes on. Each bone armor are located at the shoulders, chest, groin, forearms, legs, and spine segments that break off down to the tip of the tail. The reason for which this hollow maintains its human shape is due to the fact that it was once a Shinigami that failed at attempting to control its hollowification process to become a Vizard. Which explains the torn black kimono that appears to be a black sleeveless coat with the lower region gone, and the tips of the back of the kimono is tattered and torn.
For the mask that covers the anguished being within is designed to ram into objects while keeping the being itself protected from the damage. As a solid white mask with an angled forehead that edges away from the face about five inches to create a small snout.

Three black marking stripes run down messy from the center and the sides of the mask from top to bottom. This mask covers the entire head only leaving spiking silver hair poking out from the back of the mask.
{Spoiler}{Mask Reference}
For the body of the hollow has the segments of bone that act as armor that outline the joints of the body leaving some pieces of flesh exposed. Each bone armor is specialty formed for each segment of the body that crosses the line of both beast and human, making it difficult to distinguish the once human being from its beast like nature. The bone armor on his shoulders are several spikes that point outward. There are a total of four spikes on each shoulder that begin from the top of the shoulder and outline toward the back. For the creatures back there are five spine thorns that are four feet in length pointing outwards like the shoulder spikes. Each spike is sharp and capable of cutting and stabbing. As for the forearms of the hollow, the five fingers become talons with a the skeleton structure of wing flaps that grow from the entire arm up to the elbow joint. That will cover the upper half of the body which leaves the lower half now.
The groin area is platted down to the knee caps outlining the thigh muscles. This is the same for the shin that resembles a knights shin guards. This leaves the foot itself exposed, showing the sharp a single foot nails that grip the ground below. Even if he was once a human the five toes are now three talons. Not much going on for the lower region but the spine like tail that is sticking out from the center of the hollow's back. The entire tail holds onto the length of eight feet with a spear like tip. While the white bone armor segments cover several places of the body, underneath it all is black skin that retains the human portion of what it once was. However, even while each bone segment mirrors the material of bones the shapes are distorted to make them crystal like in nature. Because of his overall appearance this will make him weigh about 300 lbs and standing him at the height of 6 ft tall.
Menos Grande-
Not much can be described for a Menos except for the mask itself. It retains the shape in its previous form, but this time the hair is no longer coming from the back the eye sockets are no longer there. Just a clear sheen mask that covers where the eyes would have been. The size and weight will be the same as other Menos', which should be at the size of a skyscraper and a couple hundred tons.

In this form there are many differences that he takes on compared to his other Hollow forms. The skin color of the Hollow changes from a white color to a dark pale black figure that can be easily concealed in the shadows from the naked eye. Even as Adrastos enters a near human shape, like all other Vasto Lordes Adrastos keeps some traits from his weaker forms.

The neck and upper body of the Vasto Lordes is all bear skin and flesh of the hidden human. Retaining the pale white Hollow skin. His exposed arms and torso show that he is bulked up nearly to that of a professional body builder. Not exaggerated, like popping out veins but to the point where some of the larger veins will form when flexing.

The cross shaped scar that stains the near perfect image of a sculpted body remains and even more visible than as a Adjuchas. The Hollow hole remains at its same position which is in the middle of the collar bone of the Hollow.
Adrastos' arms are also different from the other if they were compared to each other. How so, well that is due to the right arm being a concealed by a 8 foot double-bladed spear on both ends and the left arm is a bone shield gauntlet. The right arm is where the tail of the beast was relocated and only goes up to the elbow joint, leaving the bicep and triceps human shaped.

{Body Image:Kingdom Hearts}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{Personality}
Dislikes:
1. Shinigami -
The accursed Shinigami are to blame for everything that has happened to him. Even though he was once a Shinigami, the reason he became a hollow was to save his team, but in the end, they were all cast away by the Soul Society. They are to blame for everything, and Rai will make sure that they pay, along with the Soul Society.
2. Sweets -
Once they were his favorite when he was still alive. However, after his failure at protecting the one that he loved, all the sweets in the world only leave a bitter taste in his mouth, along with the sad memory. Ad can eat sweets but it won't be as good as he wants it to be.
3. Being Looked Down Upon -
This is something that irritates Ad to no end. Being looked down on means that he is weak, pitied, or ignored. Adrastos will be enraged and fight without holding back to be recognized by any means. During the time he was alive Rai was constantly ignored because he was weak and no one recognized or even acknowledged his existence. Rai is strong, he only wants to acknowledged by everyone.
4. Ignorant People -
People who can't even acknowledge their own ignorance are people who won't be able to grow. This places a limit on their growth and can harm a group during missions. As a Shinigami Ad knew that his own strength would not be enough to take on stronger opponents with what he had. This can only be accomplished by taking in the power from another source, even if it meant merging with the darkness within.
5. A Bright Sunny Day -
Too damn hot, it's always muggy, and too bright. The idea of spending his time in a hot sunny day is just brutal and torturing. Just another good thing that was turn into a dislike when Rai died as a human, even more so as a Shinigami. The more light that there is somewhere will just ruin his day, so Adrastos sticks to cloudy or plain old dark places to feel more comfortable in.
6. Apathy -
Apathy is truly pathetic. It shows that you lack interest to do anything, which bothers Rai tremendously. Even when life gets you down you must continue on and fight against the force that tries to bring you down. You are the only thing that you can rely on. Because if you expect someone else to save you, then you are dead wrong.
7. Sacrificing Others -
The need to sacrifice others means that you were weak to rely on the help of others. Rai has always fought with his own strength to hold his own ground in a fight. This goes when he was still human and as a Shinigami. Sacrificing other people does not sit well with Rai and finds it distasteful. Although Rai's ability is based on other people, he will never sacrifice them needlessly. If he does, Rai will want to worthy of their sacrifice.
8. Disrespectful People -
Those who can not show the proper respect to where it is earned should be silenced. Rai may do it at times as well but only when they have not proven it to him. Titles and ranks mean very little to Rai. It is only through a battle where one can truly show what they are capable of as a warrior and as an individual. Power does not speak for everyone, but it is also character that will gain respect from Rai.
9. Himself -
Probably one of the most definite individuals that he dislikes. Through a life of success, Rai has only failed three times. Each time was a severe failure that marked Rai for life. Failure to protect the one he loved, failure to protect his squad, and failure to control the hollowification. He can't stomach the level of each of his failures had, and so, he drowned himself into rage. A rage that will be cast upon those who get in his way of his goals.
10. Those without Honor -
A warrior is to be dignified on and off the battlefield. It is how he portrays himself as an individual and to his people. This goes for manners at the table, when speaking, and fighting. For those that lack these morals are insignificant and unworthy of life.
11. Long Distance Fighters -
Cowards who do not wish to test their own strength against another foe. A fight is about using your own strength to overcome your adversary in order to progress further in levels of power. This is not only in battle but in life as well. This is just another form of insult to Adrastos saying that they prefer to watch and lend no assistance in battle while others fight and die for them.
12. Long Conversations -
Ad dislikes long conversations. Not the idea of knowing someone but it is because most of Ad's power was diverted toward power and combat which leaves him lacking in vocabulary. Not only his vocabulary is limited but his speech as well. That is the reason why he prefers actions more than words, since actions are driven by the inner workings while words can be fabricated and become false. For this Adrastos usually believes that people are lying to him when they do not show him evidence to back up their talk.
Hates:
1. The World -
Ad despises the world for what it has taken from him and turned him into. A once proud warrior who fought for his people, his family, and for honor, has now been disgraced and forced to wander the after life as a animal. Regardless of how much good Adrastos tries to do the world always turns its back on him and leaves him to die in the end. That is why Ad has lost faith in the world and no longer cares for it and the people in it. He only shows respect to those who are in poverty and the helpless for he was in their position before. But for the rest, they can all go to hell.
2. Soul Society -
Another society that has abandoned him and left him to die. Adrastos has once swore to protect and defend the Soul Society when he was a Shinigami, but, even with his service to them, they were more than eager to finish him off when he became a Hollow. All that he did to protect the greater good by any means necessary turned to bite him in the rear. When the day arrives to burn Soul Society to the ground Adrastos can only pray that he is on the front lines to deliver the death blow.
3. Sonken Kouhai -
The "King" of Hueco Mundo, it is an insult. A human ruling over the land of Hollows is ridiculous and an insult. Hollows should be ruled by other Hollows and not by some human who believes he is worthy of such a position. If Ad was beside him, he would not hesitate to tear the small human to pieces himself. This human shows no respect to those who serve under him and has no regard for their lives, which is why Adrastos will gladly take his position by force one day.
Likes:
1. Pushing the Limit -
Whenever it is training or in a battle Ad loves to push his limits every time. It is the only time to see how far he has actually came from where he first started. That can also be a problem since this happens a lot in battle as well. This also means in sparring as well. Rai finds it difficult to hold back in battle scenarios.
2. Quiet Places -
A time of peace that Adstrastos can truly enjoy. Listening to the quiet calmness of silence helps a person to think and recollect the mind. Well, it does help Ad to calm himself in times of stress, including when losing an ally or someone close.
3. Napping -
This goes alongside quiet places. Napping is the time when Ad can drown out the world and float within his own mind. Ignoring the outside world and its problems, Rai finds peace within the dreams that come to mind. It is the only place of peace where the hollow does not have to do anything or listen to anyone. It is only place where Rai can be truly free.
4. Feeding -
Adrastos can't help or stop it at this point. The ecstasy that he feels when feeding is mind blowing that it draws him in every time it comes. Every day that goes by the need to feed grows stronger. No matter how much Rai resists against the need to feed, it always wins. During these times all Ad can do is direct the urge away from the innocent and attack those who are like him or evil humans.
5. Respect -
Something that Ad finds to be a good trait among the hollows, especially for those who are not Arrancars. This is something that separates the humane from the beasts. For Adrastos, this is something that is earned from an honest battle or from someone's character that is admirable, and not from being forced into subjugation.
6. Honor -
The same can be said with Respect, however, it is what maintains Adrastos' personality from falling apart into a beast. This is what keeps Ad separate from the other hollows and is something that is carried over from his life of being a human.
7. Fruit Smoothies -
Now this is surprising how good these things are. It took Ad total off guard when he first tasted this type of drink. Not a solid nor a liquid but still refreshing. Watching humans enjoying this beverage when exiting a place called 'Robeks' had made Adrastos curious. Even though he was a hollow during this time, he would chomp down on the entire drink when the humans were distracted. His favorite is the raspberry.
8. Training -
Keeping up with both skills and strength is always important. This is particularly important in Hueco Mundo or at least in the Menos Forest. This goes hand in hand with feeding for a Hollow. Adrastos expects to King one day and a King can not be weak or fragile. With more strength to come Ad can not lighten up with until he is the strongest that ever roamed the land of Hollows.
9. Baths -
He is not like a woman but he does have to admit that it feels just as good as feeding. Well, maybe not lately due to his situation and form, but as soon as he gets the opportunity to do so, he will. This was first formed when he was finishing a long mission and a female Shinigami recommended it after the mission was done. That was probably thefirst second time that he had seen a woman naked. After all, the second time was a coed bath with the female Shinigami that recommended to him.
10. Wine/Alcohol -
Just like the good old days when Adrastos could drink hearty with his companions and have a good time. Not anymore. Really, Ad can drink like he normally would but just without those people who did the deed with him. They may be gone but it does not mean that he can not drink to remember the good times that he had with them. With every gulp of alcohol that he downs the hopes of revisiting those times become closer.
11. Li Mei -
Adrastos can't put his finger on it but he is attracted to this Arrancar. This petite woman, at least to him, is a shy and good will individual. She will have to be to her leader. Lady Asuka. He has only seen these two women only once in the White Desert. Not so far off from his territory but she has peaked this beast's interests. For it has been a long time that someone has made him curious and he can not wait until he speaks to her in person, that is if she does not flee for her life when he approaches.
Flaws:
1. One Man Army -
A flaw and a habit that Rai can not shake off even as a hollow. Adrastos can't explain it but within his very soul he feels that he has to be the one do it. Either it is a mission or taking care of a person, Ad can't entrust anything to another person. This includes rushing into enemy territory before anyone else in his group. If Adrastos was in charge of the mission, he feels more responsible for entering first and leaving last.
2. A Proud Man/Hollow -
Adrastos is confident in everything that he does, but it does not mean he has his doubts afterwards. Whether it is based on his power or honor, Rai can not allow failure to fall upon him. This makes the greek appear to be weak and sluggish, which does not go well with this individual. Failure for him or anyone who is weak in his group will leave a bad impression on Ad.
3. Short Tempered -
This is something that Adrastos can't help at all. Ad has attempted to control his temper but fails miserably every time. Things that involve watching woman get hurt or going anywhere near his dislikes will definitely increase his temper. This Greek is only able to maintain his temper for a short time as long as the situation declines quickly or continues to increase. If the situation continues to escalate then a battle will be unavoidable.
4. No Respect for Authority -
Those who have not defeated Rai have no right to order him around. This applies with those who have a higher rank than he does. Because he has no respect for authority, this gets Adrastos into trouble with his higher ups and often leads into conflicts or possibly a fight. Regardless, Ad will stand his own ground until they prove themselves to him.
5. Doubt -
Adrastos is not perfect and he has downfalls like everyone else. His plans and actions are flawed like everyone else. However, he does not show it, even when things look their worst. It will not be until he is alone is when Ad reflects over the things that have happened and the choices that he made. That is where the doubt tugs on his spirit, which will effect his future decisions and actions. He can not help but wonder if the each decision he had made was the best or worth the sacrifice.
6. No Sense of Direction -
A fierce warrior who can take down some of the most dangerous enemies but he lacks the sense of direction, which causes him to get lost really easily. Not knowing where he is currently positioned can end him in the most bizarre places. From a cave to the women's restroom in the human world, Adrastos finds it difficult to know where he is when nothing appears to be the same or what he remembers.
7. Speech Impairment -
Due to his time as a low level Hollow to an Adjuchas the Spartan never really had use for human speech since there was no need for it. Not when all the people who are able to see him usually run away or try to attack him, so no point in conversing with them. As time slowly progresses Adrastos begins to lose some of his speech processing skills which ends up breaking his sentences into fragments, and the lack of large vocabulary words.
Habits:
1. Knight in Shining Armor -
Like it sounds Adrastos can't help his human part but play the hero in situations that involve the innocent being terrorized or women being abused. This goes to where Ad was taught to uphold justice and to protect those who are weaker than himself.
2. Fidgets with His Hair -
This is something that Ad developed over the years when he is either nervous or just simply bored. Even during times of thinking Adrastos can't help but use his index finger and thumb to feel the tips of his hair.
3. Not Holding Back -
This is the same for pushing the limit. In training and in battles Ad can't seem to hold back during these times. Holding back feels as though he is diminishing his own strength and believes it to be a sign of weakness. Besides, he had not held back when he was alive or as a shinigami, Adrastos would not be in the situation to begin with.
4. Feeding -
Like all Hollows Ad likes to feed. Not because of the nature of it but the uncontrollable need to do so. Rai feels the guilty from each victim that he feeds from since he does not like what he has become, however, since he is a hollow he understands the need to feed. To grow stronger and to reach his goal. While he is a hollow the Greek will continue to feed whether it be an ally or a stranger.
5. Solitude -
From each activity that he does Adrastos must retreat from society and think things over. This is to reflect on the things that were done and think over what he will do next. This goes with his doubt and Rai takes this time to nap or find another way to erase the pain that he feels, or drown the wrath that he continues to hold back.
6. Weight of the World -
It is not strange for Adrastos to take on other people's problems and make them his own, especially if it involves someone who is close to him. Normally Ad will pass off any troubles that come by and ignore them, but if someone is hurt then Rai will pursue with it with a purpose. The Greek trusts no one to settle the worlds problems, so he has to do it himself.
Fears:
1. His Power -
His power or ability other people end up hurt. Each time he uses his power he enters a maelstrom of anger and hate is unleashed on those who within the area. Adrastos enters into a full rampage in order to defeat his opponents. A quick settle battle through brute strength is the easiest method in ending a battle. While the damage to the area will be heavy but it won't be as massive if the battle continues for a longer period of time.
2. Failure -
Failing means utter death for Adrastos. He has only failed two times in his life and each time cost Ad something or someone important. From this Ad forms the habits of not holding back and uses all of his strength in fights and on missions.
3. People Getting Close -
This involves his power and failure. Should Adrastos use his power on those he is close with, then it may cause harm to them. The same thing should Ad fail those closets to him in a life or death situation. Even though Rai has no issues with groups or dealing with other people, but the fear of getting emotionally close to them is what Adrastos fears. The possibility of losing those closets to himself will bring more sadness.
4. Becoming a Mindless Zombie -
He has seen it happen over and over again when people lose their own individuality and become slaves to other people. Ad hates this and fears that one day he might become like those zombies. This is the reason why has trouble with authority and obeying rules because he wishes to maintain his own mind set and remain independent.
Goals:
1. Strength By Any Means -
With power comes with the ability to make a difference and maintain control over one's own destiny. Adrastos learned this fact from each of his failures. It was because he was weak that he failed, and when he failed each time it cost someones life. So with this Rai believes that the ends justify the means in terms of gaining power. Humans are limited by their physical abilities as Shinigami's are limited to their own spiritual form. Crossing over to different forms of power will help increase the overall strength that Ad possess. This was the reason why the Greek attempted to become a Vizard before failing.
2. Becoming King -
As King Adrastos will have many followers that he can control. Becoming King is the ultimate form of power, which he believes that he will become unstoppable. With this strength and numbers on his side Ad will be able to reshape the world into his own image, where those who do evil will perish while the innocent prosper.
3. Forming a Family -
One of the goals that Adrastos believes that there is light for him. Forming a family is a simple and honest wish that Ad wants to achieve. Not only to pass on his knowledge to someone else, but to feel the unique emotion of love that he has only experienced once before. This is not only for reason why the Hollow does it but to ensure that his dream continues on even after he is gone.
4. Burn the World or Save it -
The world turns on Adrastos constantly, and the same time he has seen light within it as well. Depending on what Ad experiences as a hollow will decide whether or not he wishes to burn the world under his feet, or fight to protect it.
5. A Beautiful Death -
This is something that was taught to Adrastos when he was just a child. Dying in a bath of glory is the ultimate form of death. Not only those who witnessed will remember the event but to die against someone who is your equal is a dream come true. Warriors who go through life to die of old age is a worthless and pitiful way to die, which is a nightmare to Ad.
Alignment: [Chaotic Neutral]
Overall Personality:
"Glory lives on even when your bones turn to ash and fade away."
Adrastos is an ambitious and a head strong individual, who is confident in his own ability. More due to his upbringing as a Spartan, who are trained to go against ridiculous odds on their own in order to insure that the rest of the group does not fall. War and combat has always been his lively hood ever since birth. Even as a Hollow these traits in personality are carried over or possibly enhanced from the animal like desire of the beast. This can be mistaken as arrogance, which is something that Adrastos does not have. Being head strong can reflect his nature to never backing down. Whether it be a fight, a decision, or a conversation, Adrastos does not know how to give up and follows through with his actions, regardless if it is wrong or right. However, it does not mean that Ad does not reflect upon his actions if the results do not fit his expectations.
The past time Spartan continues to carry on with his proud attitude as a warrior. This is broken down into several distinct areas of honor, being respectful, and possessing a bit of an ego. Adrastos does have a code of honor and believes that a man should uphold a certain degree of fairness. It does not matter if it is an enemy for there is no glory in killing a weakened opponent, it would only taint his reputation. The same is said for respect. Show respect to those who offer it in return. It is the reason why Adrastos looks to those who around him who are allies as equals, instead of looking down on them. Spartans train and view each other as a brother or sister, as equals. Which is why the Spartan is upset should anyone look down on him. For it reveals a lack of respect and means that he is beneath them. A simple point really and goes hand in hand with his own ego. After all the years he has been through war and battles, this Spartan has earned his place among the strong.
Another way to describe Adrastos is being courageous to the point where it can called reckless. Fear is something that lives within all life, but for a Spartan, the fear of dying from old age. However, Spartans are taught to use their fear to fuel themselves to push forward through almost most situations. To be fearful is to forfeit your own life and to give up. This does not mean that the Spartan does not know fear. But, it is how it is dealt with that separates the weak from the strong. Back to being courageous, Adrastos may not be a thinker or a tactician but when it comes to overcoming situations where there is little hope, it is this individual that will persevere.
During first appearances with strangers outside of battle, Adrastos is in the in between of being calm and bloodthirsty, especially if the foe is strong. Taking caution to whole other level the fallen Spartan allows his battle instincts to take over while he analyzes the individual to decide whether or not if the individual can be viewed as a threat or as a peace keeper. Regardless of the decision he will maintain his suspicious guard against the new entity. This goes without saying that he will encircle the individual in a attempt to find an opening within their stance. Even when he speaks in his deep smooth voice, he will peel away the stranger's layers to investigate their inner workings and thoughts while being somewhat humorous.
Overall in his personality, it is his hate and anger toward everything around him that is leaked into all aspects of his nature. More over it is influencing the tone in his voice and how he treats other people around him. It shows more when entering combat for Adrastos is a physical brawler. The Spartan's eyes widen with his pupils dilate as a wave of rage consumes his entire being. While in rage mode Adrastos pours all of his hate and fury into each of his attacks and fighting style to resemble a true berserker. His low deep voice turns into hate filled battle cries as he smashes into his foes. While doing so, regardless if he still possess his Hollow form, out of habit his beast like roar will escape his throat to make him appear more beast than human.
His hate for the world that he lives in and those that inhabit it far surpasses the limits of any other that he has come to know. It is his hate and rage that helps this creature to fuel his desire to push forward in a life that holds little meaning. This forces Adrastos to wander in search for a reason to live instead of living for revenge and destruction. Following a meager idea of living is what disappoints him but it maintains the little faith that he has in search of a larger purpose. In the enraged fill phase Adrastos becomes cold, merciless, and a disobedient beast that will do whatever it takes that will bring the results that he seeks.
During the rage phase Adrastos is more aggressive, focused, and eliminates the connection between emotion and personal desire from each other. Therefore, it gives the Spartan a more beast like trait and a sadistic personality. The human portion of his mind is almost all but removed and relies more on animal desires to push himself forward. This is where Adrastos shows his pain and past experiences. He is more open to insults and to sharing his darker desires with what little human thought remains.
Besides the carnage and rage that Adrastos carries within him that is not there is to him. Beneath the brutes exterior rests the loving family soldier that cared for his people and his comrades. Adrastos has always been an individual who places everything else before himself. Family, honor, and duty was what he had lived by before tending to personal needs. The life of a Spartan was never their own unless they made it so. Upholding the duty to his King and to his people with the highest respect for them, alongside his fellow brothers in arms. As a member of the King's personal guard and no parents, Adrastos was taught by the King personally and was viewed as another son.
The King tutored Ad everything he knew as a warrior and as a man, which he would pass on to the younger generation. With such experiences has provided the Spartan with some knowledge as a teacher and as a counselor. Teaching the younglings to fight and what is expected of them as future Spartans. In a small way Adrastos is a tough father figure who encourages others to fight with their all and to never give up, to never accept defeat. These are the teachings that led him to eventually lead his own group as a Shinigami. It is with actions, not words, that gain the respect of others, when you are willing to die for them. For this trait that he continues to live with, Adrastos can be a loving brother, father, and tutor to those who he deems worthy of admiration.
-Personality-
Dislikes:
1. Shinigami -
The accursed Shinigami are to blame for everything that has happened to him. Even though he was once a Shinigami, the reason he became a hollow was to save his team, but in the end, they were all cast away by the Soul Society. They are to blame for everything, and Rai will make sure that they pay, along with the Soul Society.
2. Sweets -
Once they were his favorite when he was still alive. However, after his failure at protecting the one that he loved, all the sweets in the world only leave a bitter taste in his mouth, along with the sad memory. Ad can eat sweets but it won't be as good as he wants it to be.
3. Being Looked Down Upon -
This is something that irritates Ad to no end. Being looked down on means that he is weak, pitied, or ignored. Adrastos will be enraged and fight without holding back to be recognized by any means. During the time he was alive Rai was constantly ignored because he was weak and no one recognized or even acknowledged his existence. Rai is strong, he only wants to acknowledged by everyone.
4. Ignorant People -
People who can't even acknowledge their own ignorance are people who won't be able to grow. This places a limit on their growth and can harm a group during missions. As a Shinigami Ad knew that his own strength would not be enough to take on stronger opponents with what he had. This can only be accomplished by taking in the power from another source, even if it meant merging with the darkness within.
5. A Bright Sunny Day -
Too damn hot, it's always muggy, and too bright. The idea of spending his time in a hot sunny day is just brutal and torturing. Just another good thing that was turn into a dislike when Rai died as a human, even more so as a Shinigami. The more light that there is somewhere will just ruin his day, so Adrastos sticks to cloudy or plain old dark places to feel more comfortable in.
6. Apathy -
Apathy is truly pathetic. It shows that you lack interest to do anything, which bothers Rai tremendously. Even when life gets you down you must continue on and fight against the force that tries to bring you down. You are the only thing that you can rely on. Because if you expect someone else to save you, then you are dead wrong.
7. Sacrificing Others -
The need to sacrifice others means that you were weak to rely on the help of others. Rai has always fought with his own strength to hold his own ground in a fight. This goes when he was still human and as a Shinigami. Sacrificing other people does not sit well with Rai and finds it distasteful. Although Rai's ability is based on other people, he will never sacrifice them needlessly. If he does, Rai will want to worthy of their sacrifice.
8. Disrespectful People -
Those who can not show the proper respect to where it is earned should be silenced. Rai may do it at times as well but only when they have not proven it to him. Titles and ranks mean very little to Rai. It is only through a battle where one can truly show what they are capable of as a warrior and as an individual. Power does not speak for everyone, but it is also character that will gain respect from Rai.
9. Himself -
Probably one of the most definite individuals that he dislikes. Through a life of success, Rai has only failed three times. Each time was a severe failure that marked Rai for life. Failure to protect the one he loved, failure to protect his squad, and failure to control the hollowification. He can't stomach the level of each of his failures had, and so, he drowned himself into rage. A rage that will be cast upon those who get in his way of his goals.
10. Those without Honor -
A warrior is to be dignified on and off the battlefield. It is how he portrays himself as an individual and to his people. This goes for manners at the table, when speaking, and fighting. For those that lack these morals are insignificant and unworthy of life.
11. Long Distance Fighters -
Cowards who do not wish to test their own strength against another foe. A fight is about using your own strength to overcome your adversary in order to progress further in levels of power. This is not only in battle but in life as well. This is just another form of insult to Adrastos saying that they prefer to watch and lend no assistance in battle while others fight and die for them.
12. Long Conversations -
Ad dislikes long conversations. Not the idea of knowing someone but it is because most of Ad's power was diverted toward power and combat which leaves him lacking in vocabulary. Not only his vocabulary is limited but his speech as well. That is the reason why he prefers actions more than words, since actions are driven by the inner workings while words can be fabricated and become false. For this Adrastos usually believes that people are lying to him when they do not show him evidence to back up their talk.
Hates:
1. The World -
Ad despises the world for what it has taken from him and turned him into. A once proud warrior who fought for his people, his family, and for honor, has now been disgraced and forced to wander the after life as a animal. Regardless of how much good Adrastos tries to do the world always turns its back on him and leaves him to die in the end. That is why Ad has lost faith in the world and no longer cares for it and the people in it. He only shows respect to those who are in poverty and the helpless for he was in their position before. But for the rest, they can all go to hell.
2. Soul Society -
Another society that has abandoned him and left him to die. Adrastos has once swore to protect and defend the Soul Society when he was a Shinigami, but, even with his service to them, they were more than eager to finish him off when he became a Hollow. All that he did to protect the greater good by any means necessary turned to bite him in the rear. When the day arrives to burn Soul Society to the ground Adrastos can only pray that he is on the front lines to deliver the death blow.
3. Sonken Kouhai -
The "King" of Hueco Mundo, it is an insult. A human ruling over the land of Hollows is ridiculous and an insult. Hollows should be ruled by other Hollows and not by some human who believes he is worthy of such a position. If Ad was beside him, he would not hesitate to tear the small human to pieces himself. This human shows no respect to those who serve under him and has no regard for their lives, which is why Adrastos will gladly take his position by force one day.
Likes:
1. Pushing the Limit -
Whenever it is training or in a battle Ad loves to push his limits every time. It is the only time to see how far he has actually came from where he first started. That can also be a problem since this happens a lot in battle as well. This also means in sparring as well. Rai finds it difficult to hold back in battle scenarios.

Ignoring the outside world and its problems, Rai finds peace within the dreams that come to mind. It is the only place of peace where the hollow does not have to do anything or listen to anyone. It is only place where Rai can be truly free.

No matter how much Rai resists against the need to feed, it always wins. During these times all Ad can do is direct the urge away from the innocent and attack those who are like him or evil humans.
5. Respect -
Something that Ad finds to be a good trait among the hollows, especially for those who are not Arrancars. This is something that separates the humane from the beasts. For Adrastos, this is something that is earned from an honest battle or from someone's character that is admirable, and not from being forced into subjugation.
6. Honor -
The same can be said with Respect, however, it is what maintains Adrastos' personality from falling apart into a beast. This is what keeps Ad separate from the other hollows and is something that is carried over from his life of being a human.
7. Fruit Smoothies -
Now this is surprising how good these things are. It took Ad total off guard when he first tasted this type of drink. Not a solid nor a liquid but still refreshing. Watching humans enjoying this beverage when exiting a place called 'Robeks' had made Adrastos curious. Even though he was a hollow during this time, he would chomp down on the entire drink when the humans were distracted. His favorite is the raspberry.
8. Training -
Keeping up with both skills and strength is always important. This is particularly important in Hueco Mundo or at least in the Menos Forest. This goes hand in hand with feeding for a Hollow. Adrastos expects to King one day and a King can not be weak or fragile. With more strength to come Ad can not lighten up with until he is the strongest that ever roamed the land of Hollows.
9. Baths -
He is not like a woman but he does have to admit that it feels just as good as feeding. Well, maybe not lately due to his situation and form, but as soon as he gets the opportunity to do so, he will. This was first formed when he was finishing a long mission and a female Shinigami recommended it after the mission was done. That was probably the
10. Wine/Alcohol -
Just like the good old days when Adrastos could drink hearty with his companions and have a good time. Not anymore. Really, Ad can drink like he normally would but just without those people who did the deed with him. They may be gone but it does not mean that he can not drink to remember the good times that he had with them. With every gulp of alcohol that he downs the hopes of revisiting those times become closer.
11. Li Mei -
Adrastos can't put his finger on it but he is attracted to this Arrancar. This petite woman, at least to him, is a shy and good will individual. She will have to be to her leader. Lady Asuka. He has only seen these two women only once in the White Desert. Not so far off from his territory but she has peaked this beast's interests. For it has been a long time that someone has made him curious and he can not wait until he speaks to her in person, that is if she does not flee for her life when he approaches.

Adrastos is confident in everything that he does, but it does not mean he has his doubts afterwards. Whether it is based on his power or honor, Rai can not allow failure to fall upon him.

Like it sounds Adrastos can't help his human part but play the hero in situations that involve the innocent being terrorized or women being abused. This goes to where Ad was taught to uphold justice and to protect those who are weaker than himself.
2. Fidgets with His Hair -
This is something that Ad developed over the years when he is either nervous or just simply bored. Even during times of thinking Adrastos can't help but use his index finger and thumb to feel the tips of his hair.
3. Not Holding Back -
This is the same for pushing the limit. In training and in battles Ad can't seem to hold back during these times. Holding back feels as though he is diminishing his own strength and believes it to be a sign of weakness. Besides, he had not held back when he was alive or as a shinigami, Adrastos would not be in the situation to begin with.
4. Feeding -
Like all Hollows Ad likes to feed. Not because of the nature of it but the uncontrollable need to do so. Rai feels the guilty from each victim that he feeds from since he does not like what he has become, however, since he is a hollow he understands the need to feed. To grow stronger and to reach his goal. While he is a hollow the Greek will continue to feed whether it be an ally or a stranger.
5. Solitude -
From each activity that he does Adrastos must retreat from society and think things over. This is to reflect on the things that were done and think over what he will do next. This goes with his doubt and Rai takes this time to nap or find another way to erase the pain that he feels, or drown the wrath that he continues to hold back.
6. Weight of the World -
It is not strange for Adrastos to take on other people's problems and make them his own, especially if it involves someone who is close to him. Normally Ad will pass off any troubles that come by and ignore them, but if someone is hurt then Rai will pursue with it with a purpose. The Greek trusts no one to settle the worlds problems, so he has to do it himself.
Fears:
1. His Power -
His power or ability other people end up hurt. Each time he uses his power he enters a maelstrom of anger and hate is unleashed on those who within the area. Adrastos enters into a full rampage in order to defeat his opponents. A quick settle battle through brute strength is the easiest method in ending a battle. While the damage to the area will be heavy but it won't be as massive if the battle continues for a longer period of time.
2. Failure -
Failing means utter death for Adrastos. He has only failed two times in his life and each time cost Ad something or someone important. From this Ad forms the habits of not holding back and uses all of his strength in fights and on missions.
3. People Getting Close -
This involves his power and failure. Should Adrastos use his power on those he is close with, then it may cause harm to them. The same thing should Ad fail those closets to him in a life or death situation. Even though Rai has no issues with groups or dealing with other people, but the fear of getting emotionally close to them is what Adrastos fears. The possibility of losing those closets to himself will bring more sadness.
4. Becoming a Mindless Zombie -
He has seen it happen over and over again when people lose their own individuality and become slaves to other people. Ad hates this and fears that one day he might become like those zombies. This is the reason why has trouble with authority and obeying rules because he wishes to maintain his own mind set and remain independent.
Goals:
1. Strength By Any Means -
With power comes with the ability to make a difference and maintain control over one's own destiny. Adrastos learned this fact from each of his failures. It was because he was weak that he failed, and when he failed each time it cost someones life. So with this Rai believes that the ends justify the means in terms of gaining power. Humans are limited by their physical abilities as Shinigami's are limited to their own spiritual form. Crossing over to different forms of power will help increase the overall strength that Ad possess. This was the reason why the Greek attempted to become a Vizard before failing.
2. Becoming King -
As King Adrastos will have many followers that he can control. Becoming King is the ultimate form of power, which he believes that he will become unstoppable. With this strength and numbers on his side Ad will be able to reshape the world into his own image, where those who do evil will perish while the innocent prosper.
3. Forming a Family -
One of the goals that Adrastos believes that there is light for him. Forming a family is a simple and honest wish that Ad wants to achieve. Not only to pass on his knowledge to someone else, but to feel the unique emotion of love that he has only experienced once before. This is not only for reason why the Hollow does it but to ensure that his dream continues on even after he is gone.
4. Burn the World or Save it -
The world turns on Adrastos constantly, and the same time he has seen light within it as well. Depending on what Ad experiences as a hollow will decide whether or not he wishes to burn the world under his feet, or fight to protect it.
5. A Beautiful Death -
This is something that was taught to Adrastos when he was just a child. Dying in a bath of glory is the ultimate form of death. Not only those who witnessed will remember the event but to die against someone who is your equal is a dream come true. Warriors who go through life to die of old age is a worthless and pitiful way to die, which is a nightmare to Ad.
Alignment: [Chaotic Neutral]
Overall Personality:
"Glory lives on even when your bones turn to ash and fade away."
Adrastos is an ambitious and a head strong individual, who is confident in his own ability. More due to his upbringing as a Spartan, who are trained to go against ridiculous odds on their own in order to insure that the rest of the group does not fall. War and combat has always been his lively hood ever since birth. Even as a Hollow these traits in personality are carried over or possibly enhanced from the animal like desire of the beast. This can be mistaken as arrogance, which is something that Adrastos does not have. Being head strong can reflect his nature to never backing down. Whether it be a fight, a decision, or a conversation, Adrastos does not know how to give up and follows through with his actions, regardless if it is wrong or right. However, it does not mean that Ad does not reflect upon his actions if the results do not fit his expectations.
The past time Spartan continues to carry on with his proud attitude as a warrior. This is broken down into several distinct areas of honor, being respectful, and possessing a bit of an ego. Adrastos does have a code of honor and believes that a man should uphold a certain degree of fairness. It does not matter if it is an enemy for there is no glory in killing a weakened opponent, it would only taint his reputation. The same is said for respect. Show respect to those who offer it in return. It is the reason why Adrastos looks to those who around him who are allies as equals, instead of looking down on them. Spartans train and view each other as a brother or sister, as equals. Which is why the Spartan is upset should anyone look down on him. For it reveals a lack of respect and means that he is beneath them. A simple point really and goes hand in hand with his own ego. After all the years he has been through war and battles, this Spartan has earned his place among the strong.
Another way to describe Adrastos is being courageous to the point where it can called reckless. Fear is something that lives within all life, but for a Spartan, the fear of dying from old age. However, Spartans are taught to use their fear to fuel themselves to push forward through almost most situations. To be fearful is to forfeit your own life and to give up. This does not mean that the Spartan does not know fear. But, it is how it is dealt with that separates the weak from the strong. Back to being courageous, Adrastos may not be a thinker or a tactician but when it comes to overcoming situations where there is little hope, it is this individual that will persevere.
During first appearances with strangers outside of battle, Adrastos is in the in between of being calm and bloodthirsty, especially if the foe is strong. Taking caution to whole other level the fallen Spartan allows his battle instincts to take over while he analyzes the individual to decide whether or not if the individual can be viewed as a threat or as a peace keeper. Regardless of the decision he will maintain his suspicious guard against the new entity. This goes without saying that he will encircle the individual in a attempt to find an opening within their stance. Even when he speaks in his deep smooth voice, he will peel away the stranger's layers to investigate their inner workings and thoughts while being somewhat humorous.
Overall in his personality, it is his hate and anger toward everything around him that is leaked into all aspects of his nature. More over it is influencing the tone in his voice and how he treats other people around him. It shows more when entering combat for Adrastos is a physical brawler. The Spartan's eyes widen with his pupils dilate as a wave of rage consumes his entire being. While in rage mode Adrastos pours all of his hate and fury into each of his attacks and fighting style to resemble a true berserker. His low deep voice turns into hate filled battle cries as he smashes into his foes. While doing so, regardless if he still possess his Hollow form, out of habit his beast like roar will escape his throat to make him appear more beast than human.
His hate for the world that he lives in and those that inhabit it far surpasses the limits of any other that he has come to know. It is his hate and rage that helps this creature to fuel his desire to push forward in a life that holds little meaning. This forces Adrastos to wander in search for a reason to live instead of living for revenge and destruction. Following a meager idea of living is what disappoints him but it maintains the little faith that he has in search of a larger purpose. In the enraged fill phase Adrastos becomes cold, merciless, and a disobedient beast that will do whatever it takes that will bring the results that he seeks.
During the rage phase Adrastos is more aggressive, focused, and eliminates the connection between emotion and personal desire from each other. Therefore, it gives the Spartan a more beast like trait and a sadistic personality. The human portion of his mind is almost all but removed and relies more on animal desires to push himself forward. This is where Adrastos shows his pain and past experiences. He is more open to insults and to sharing his darker desires with what little human thought remains.
Besides the carnage and rage that Adrastos carries within him that is not there is to him. Beneath the brutes exterior rests the loving family soldier that cared for his people and his comrades. Adrastos has always been an individual who places everything else before himself. Family, honor, and duty was what he had lived by before tending to personal needs. The life of a Spartan was never their own unless they made it so. Upholding the duty to his King and to his people with the highest respect for them, alongside his fellow brothers in arms. As a member of the King's personal guard and no parents, Adrastos was taught by the King personally and was viewed as another son.
The King tutored Ad everything he knew as a warrior and as a man, which he would pass on to the younger generation. With such experiences has provided the Spartan with some knowledge as a teacher and as a counselor. Teaching the younglings to fight and what is expected of them as future Spartans. In a small way Adrastos is a tough father figure who encourages others to fight with their all and to never give up, to never accept defeat. These are the teachings that led him to eventually lead his own group as a Shinigami. It is with actions, not words, that gain the respect of others, when you are willing to die for them. For this trait that he continues to live with, Adrastos can be a loving brother, father, and tutor to those who he deems worthy of admiration.
