PERSONALITY

.MBTI.. ENFJ-T ( the protagonist ). thoughtful and idealistic, ENFJs strive to have a positive impact on other people and the world around them. they rarely shy away from an opportunity to do the right thing, even when doing so is far from easy. protagonists are born leaders; their passion and charisma allow them to inspire others.
.MORAL ALIGNMENT.. LAWFUL GOOD ( with neutral tendencies ). combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. sees the cosmos as a place where law and chaos are merely tools to use in bringing life, happiness, and prosperity to all.
.NEUROLOGICAL.. mental exhaustion from maintaining a dual identity. bordering on depression. in order to protect his identity, adam feigns the part of the lazy and cowardly prince; this isolates him from friends and family, who often berate him for his behaviour and express their disappointment. the longer he maintains his double life, the harder it becomes to see his loved ones praise he-man while simultaneously rejecting adam. ptsd. engaging in violent combat and taking the lives of others at a young age has permanently scarred him. though adam intrinsically sees himself as the justified hero, he still suffers from recurring nightmares and fits of overwhelming guilt.
.POSITIVE TRAITS.. adventurous, charismatic, humble, loyal, witty, brave, selfless, intelligent.
.NEUTRAL TRAITS.. relaxed, fun-loving, athletic, ambitious, bold, enigmatic, free-spirited.
.NEGATIVE TRAITS.. naive, resentful, secretive, extravagant, lazy and cowardly ( parts of his façade. )
.VALUES.. family, equality, justice, freedom.
.TROPES.. being good sucks, big brother instinct, deadpan snarker, genius bruiser, henshin hero, martial pacifist, real men wear pink, secret keeper.

.CHARACTER.. destined from birth, prince adam is the first eternian in centuries to be granted the powers of grayskull. at the age of sixteen, he was summoned to the castle and bestowed with magic by the sorceress teela-na. he defends the legacy of his ancestors as well as the future of the planet ( and the galaxy ) by wielding the sword of power and fighting against skeletor and his forces of evil. using the sword, adam calls upon ancient eternian magic to transform into his super-powered alter-ego––he-man. the same magic transforms his familiar, cringer, into the fearless battle-cat. in order to protect his family and friends he maintains a dual-identity; if his enemies ever came to know the truth, they would stop at nothing to destroy everything and everyone that adam holds dearest.as the crown-prince of eternia, adam is next in line to succeed his father, king randor. to guard his secret, he presents himself as unambitious and carefree. in times of danger he disappears to defend the planet as he-man; however, to the people of eternia his absence from both politics and warfare symbolizes cowardice and laziness. he is known around the kingdom for his dry wit and free-spirited, adventurous attitude.

.SETTING.. eternia is a planet defined by the intersection between futuristic technology and arcane magic. its capitol city is eternos––home of the crown family and the planet's military base. castle grayskull, an old fortress that was once ruled by the original master of the universe, serves as the gateway to all magic in the galaxy. if it falls to the forces of skeletor, evil will infect the universe and all of its planets. in revelation, it is revealed that the galaxy cannot survive without magic; when grayskull falls, killing both adam and skeletor in the process, eternia and all of its adjacent planets begin to wither and rot. because of its central location in the galaxy, eternia is an access-point for inter-dimensional space-and-time travel. using the arcane to open portals, magic wielders may travel to different planets, realms, and dimensions.eternia is home to many ( alien ) species and races. despite ruling the planet, humans are the minority of the population. select few individuals possess magical abilities, while most rely on futuristic technology to survive in the extreme climates of the planet.

TRIVIA

king randor has, on several occasions, selected he-man to accompany him as an escort to political parlés rather than adam himself––much to adam's chagrin. more than anything, he desires to make his parents proud as himself; however, he knows that this will never be possible. his fate has been resigned to protect eternia at the cost of himself.queen marlena, a particularly cunning and perceptive woman, suspects her son's identity. adam is unaware of this. she keeps his secret, though she struggles to watch her husband berate him day after day while simultaneously idolizing he-man as the protector of the realm.in revelations, the fallen heroes of grayskull may choose their form upon entering preternia ( the equivalent of heaven or valhalla ). adam is the first to choose to live his afterlife as himself rather than as his counterpart, earning him both derision and respect from the other masters of the universe.although his transformation into he-man leads to drastic physical changes––and though he tries to masquerade his true personality while living as adam––his sarcasm and dry sense of humour persist across both identities. as he-man he occasionally makes jokes that, to a keen ear, sound all too similar to those of the wise-cracking prince of eternia.despite possessing unparalleled levels of brute strength, he-man attempts to solve most situations with intellect rather than force. due to his cunning, he is often able to outwit his foes before blood is shed. otherwise known as: he-man's not a himbo! fun fact.

.DEFAULT.. general mixed-canon verse. adam is the ruling prince of the planetary kingdom of eternia, prone to shirking his royal duties in favour of adventure. as he-man, he serves as the protector of magical fortress grayskull and frequently engages with forces of evil to defend the universe from an unseemly future. his free-spirit often leads him away from the confines of the palace, much to the chagrin of his disappointed father. widely seen as a chronic underachiever and a fun-loving charmer, adam sacrifices the integrity of his own identity to preserve the secret that he is the hero of eternia and master of the universe. he occasionally uses the magic of grayskull to travel to other planets and dimensions in a bid to maintain peace and fight against injustice. whether his dual-identity is widely known is timeline dependent and generally assesesed on a case-by-case basis..REVELATIONS.. adheres to the canon of netflix's revelations. to be updated as the show progresses. in a bloody final confrontation with skeletor and the forces of snake mountain, adam sacrifices himself in order to contain the magic of grayskull. unable to withstand the full force of grayskull's power in his human form, he dies––destroying skeletor and all the magic in eternia in the process. in so doing, he inadvertently dooms the entire galaxy. he later permanently relinquishes his place in preternia to return to the realm of the living, only to be mortally wounded by skeletor while transforming into he-man and restoring magic to the galaxy. following his first death, the planet comes to know of his dual-identity..FANTASY ( general ).. tba. less futuristic shit and more magic. witcher, asoiaf, etc.

.DC AND MARVEL ( comic adjacent ).. loosely based on DC universe vs. masters of the universe. skeletor murders the sorceress––guardian of castle grayskull. he-man defeats his uncle in a brutal confrontation; however, a mysterious force facilitates skeletor's escape by transporting him to earth. he-man follows suit, determined to exact revenge and destroy skeletor once and for all. he arrives on earth with his fellow masters of the universe in tow, only to be confronted by various factions of the justice league [can be substituted with any superhero group] as he scours the planet for signs of his uncle. unsure of who is helping skeletor, adam remains wary of the other heroes he meets along the way. the maintenance of his secret identity begins to slip the longer he spends traversing earth on a warpath..DC, MARVEL, AND OTHER SUPERHERO SETTINGS ( general ).. when the earth needs it most, queen marlena––who suspects her son's dual identity––appeals to adam to lend aid. he consults the sorceress, who reveals that terra, like eternia, is a conduit for magic. she warns that great harm will come to the universe if it should fall. motivated by this knowledge––as well as his innate desire to do good and his mother's request––he travels to earth through a portal. despite being half-terran himself, adam has never visited the planet before. unsure of its customs and unfamiliar with its forms of technologies, he struggles to adapt and to blend-in. faced with foes from a dimension other than his own ( and subsequently assuming his family safe from harm ), adam inevitably sheds his dual-identity..SCI-FI ( general ).. tba. less magical shit and more sci-fi tech. star wars, star trek, etc.
