History
Adam Gomez was born in Queens, New York on May 11th, 1977. It was a rainy night when the baby hunter appeared in the dangerous world. His mother died giving birth to him. Rumors have it that the Gomez have a curse surrounding them when it comes to pregnancy. Though his hunting journey wasn't to begin until the age of thirteen. It was almost like a Gomez tradition. Each kid on their thirteen birthday would be introduced into the world of hunting. However, The Gomez family was tightly structured to allow the kids to be kids until coming of age.
By the age of five, Adam spent a lot of time with his father's family. They were all hunters who portrayed to have certain jobs. His Grandfather James was a former cop and his father Manuel was an active detective. There was at least one Gomez in the police force to help them cover all of their tracks. His Uncle Jim portrayed himself as a mechanic. Its where Adam found his love for cars especially muscle cars. When he wasn't working on cars in the shop, He was doodling in his art book.
Through the years when his father was at work. His Grandfather would help him over look cases to investigate. It was more of a fun game to find all the little things in the cracks. In school Adam was an A and B student. He could have been a straight A student if he applied himself more in school. However, He was more distracted with the strict family affairs.
At the age of ten, His Uncle Jim got Adam into Boxing lesson. It was gonna be an important skill to have in the future. When he wasn't at his lesson, His Grandfather was teaching him how to shoot guns at the junkyard. Though these were the little secrets he had to keep from his father. His father was strict about letting him have a normal childhood.
On his thirteen birthday the entire Gomez family came together. He even meet his Uncle Alex who lived the hunter style to the fullest. He was the best hunter in the Gomez family. It took Adams weeks to grasp the concept of what truly ran through the blood in his family. Nonetheless, He was happy to help his family.
In the next four years, Adam helped his family with the organization and investigating of the paranormal. He wasn't allowed to go on actual hunts at the time. He still had to perfect his skills and knowledge to take down the things that haunt the world. Though the thing that kept his mind off of hunting was his 1970 Buick GSX. He spent years restoring the vehicle giving its own unique flare for a hunter.
After graduating high school at the age of seventeen, He jump straight into the hunts with his family. He got to travel all over the United States seeing every little town it had to offer. His first hunt took him into the mountains of Washington to find a four man pack of werewolves. Adam took out his first werewolf with silver tipped arrow through the heart. After taking down his first prey he was hooked on the thrill.
Adam didn't stop with schooling after graduating high school. He continue to get his degree in Criminology & Justice. He was preparing himself to get out of hunting just encase the opportunity presented itself. Through the years the hunting brought the Gomez family even closer. They were a well oiled machine in taking out the supernatural. Countless innocents were saved under their name for eight years.
At the age of twenty-five, Something happen to the Gomez family that would change their destiny forever. The Gomez family tracked down a werewolf that lead them unto a wild pack of werewolves. The battle between the Gomez family and werewolves were intense. It was the night Adam saw his grandfather, father, and both his uncles die in front of them. They all fought to the death wiping out the entire pack. Adam barely escaped with his own life. Multiple scratches from their claws left scars that would never heal. To erase those scars from his memory, He got them covered up by tattoos.
For the next three years, Adam spent his time drinking and working at a tattoo parlor. He got quite famous for his disturbing art that he drew. It did help his imagination to know what evil creatures roamed the earth. Though the boring life of painting body wouldn't keep him happy forever.
When Adam turned twenty-eight he joined the U.S Marshals to track down fugitives. He knew how to track down spirits and finding real humans was a wall in the park compared to that. It didn't take long for Adam to make a name for himself around his fellow Agents. They looked at him being fearless, but he found their was no reason to be afraid of other humans. They were actually predictable compared to the supernatural.
While working in the U.S Marshals, Adam meet a beautiful redhead named Julie. She was a forensic specialist to worked in the same department. They were almost drawn to each other hanging out on a regular basic. It only took a couple of years before Adam popped the question.
They had an happy marriage with a child on the way until Adam turned thirty four. His wife became possessed by a demon. It was about to be the unluckiest day of his life. He was able to trap the demon, but not before it ran a knife through his wife's pregnant stomach. Back in the day when he was hunting, He remembered a couple of exorcisms by memory. However, Since he had been out of hunting for a decade, It was his fault he couldn't save his wife in time. If he would have remembered the exorcism his wife wouldn't have bleed out.
Adam wasted no time getting back into hunting using his 1970 Buick GSX to travel across the country. He ganked a lot of creatures by himself unleashing the rage of losing his wife on any creature that crossed his path. It wasn't long before the Forsaken PI called him offering him the leadership position in New York. Adam gladly accepted the offer knowing that taking down creatures with others meant he could increase his numbers of monsters killed.
RP Sample
Adam jumped right back into hunting after his wife's death. Studying up on Demonology to never make the same mistake in the past. He grew complacent and lost his wife because of it. He spent the next two months just drinking and acquiring any knowledge on the paranormal. He was out of the game for a decade and had a lot of reading to catch up on. He even noticed that their were way more supernatural sightings across the world. Almost like something bad was just on the verge of happening. Like he was being drawn back into the fight, Like it was his destiny to confront evil.
It was the reason he accepted the office position in New York. It was going to be interesting for him to lead a bunch of people he didn't have any trust in. Though he knew he had to lead by example. His grandfather was a great leader. He was the biggest role model in his life. Many thoughts ran through his mind driving across the country. The sound of his 1970 Buick GSX echoed as he flew down the highway. He was headed to New York City to settle back into a place he hadn't visited since he grew there. He even spent some money a little store to turn it into a tattoo parlor. It was going to be a place were hunters could get great quality tattoos for free.
