History:
Born during the new millennia to newlywed couple in the peaceful suburbs of America Adam's life was relatively normal for the first five years.
However sometime after his fifth birthday his father began working for a global trading company. This made the family moving around the world rarely staying more in a place more than a few months.
Adam was put in many private school throughout this time staying a single semester at a time. At the age of fourteen it was decided that he was going to be homeschooled till age eighteen. After finishing standard education he decided to return to the states to for his college years.
After saying goodbye to his parents Adam headed off to the states. However during mid flight the plane was caught in a storm that blew a hole on the right side of the plane. Adam was ripped from it's hinges as he fell from the plane.
However instead of dying the young man awoke to find himself safe on the ground with minor injuries. Somehow he had ended up on Cybertron in the generation 1 series.
The young man knew about the transformers franchise but due to him constantly moving he never watched more than a few episode from each series most were either foreign dub and/or out of order. So most of the knowledge was a clumped together mess from all the different series and the Wikipedia page.
He knew the basics of the show, autobots being the heroes, decepticon the villains, some character lesser names, and some lore. The character he knew the most was Optimus Prime, one of Adam's personal heroes.
Eventually he encounters the decepticon Shockwave who takes him prisoner and uses him for experiments. After several gruesome expirments Adam made the unfortunate mistake of mentioning the word soul to his captor. To which the scientist grew intrigued by the concept.
Performing countless through tests on Adam to see if such as thing did exist. Shockwave eventually was able to prove the existence of souls and perform a highly dangerous procedure on Adam' Soul.
Injecting a small portion of energon into Adam's soul Shockwave hoped to create a self replenishing battery. When all was over all of Adam's injuries old and new began to heal instantly before the Decepticon's eye.
It appeared at the time that the experiment only granted Adam an accelerated healing factor. While it wasn't the result he was hoping for Shockwave took advantage of Adam's healing factor to perform more dangerous experiments on the human without the risk of losing his only test subject.
Five hundred years past until Megatron was sent back to Cybertron. During this time Adam had unlocked the ability Shockwave intended for him, the power to generate energon. As soon he heard the tyrant preparing to leave he shorted out his cell.
He was nearly caught but thanks to his new abilities he was ability to hitch a ride with Megatron. When they arrived on earth Adam ran past the Decepticons but was being followed. Eventually he was rescued by the Autobots.
Personality:
From birth till his teens Adam was kind and helpful those around him. Provoked with violence or any other cruelty be it at him or anyone he happened to be around and he would snap back. Overall he had a great moral compass which guides him to this day.
Adam was always a person that looked at thing from multiple perspectives. Rationalizing the actions or event all around him. Often he would be giving others the benefit of the doubt while maintaining a some criticism. However he did end up lingering on the subjects for longer than necessary. After many centuries he still has a habit of remembering arguments that happened long ago popping up in his head from time to time.
Knowing full well that everything he would ever learn or knew already couldn't be applied to every situation in life. So that leads him to trying analyze every situation with care. However his tendency to over analyze tends to make him a little standoffish.
Adam spent the last five hundred years in long periods of isolation in between test. After his experience with Shockwave many worry for his mental health. However he seems relatively normal besides being weary from the experience.
Maybe at one point he had gone insane but somewhere along the line he overcame that. Adam himself as compared it to the trope of bored with insanity. Whatever issues Adam still had seems to be getting better with time and the people around him.
When it comes to Shockwave Adam isn't out for revenge or even afraid of the con, no he doesn't want to be around him period. Sure he will fight him if needed to but Adam wants nothing to do with him otherwise. Whatever happened in his last years of isolation seemed to move him past fear or anger.
At one point the decepticon scientist tried to turn adam into back up memory unit that work tirelessly to rebuild him if he ever perished. This left Adam throughly invested with technology trying to learn all he can from the scientist of the autobots. He is no Wheeljack but he certainly know his way around Cybertronian technology. Making him one of the smartest humans on earth at the time.
Adam looks up to Optimus Prime and tries his best to live by his example. Whenever he ever needs advice or someone to talk to Optimus is usually the first person he goes to. If anyone dares to insult Optimus in front of him they best be prepared to be verbally torn apart and sometimes physically beaten down in the case of decepticons or other people like them.
He knows Optimus is not infallible, but someone always trying to do what's right. To protect the innocent and weak from those who would harm them. Someone who treated all life with equal respect. That inspired Adam to use his new found powers to fight alongside the Autobots.
However despite the grandiose of sci-fi adventures he was living deep inside Adam yearns to return home. Sure this world was similar to his but it just not. He misses the world he never got to experience. The people he left behind and might not ever see again. If there is a chance to return home he just might end up takings it.
Powers:
Energon Generation
Due to Shockwaves most dangerous experiment Adam's soul generates a constant flow of energon. This energon can never be exhausted but it has a limit.
Think of it like a video game mana bar that doesn't go down no matter how many spells you cast. However you can't cast higher level spell because they more than you have.
Adam is able to channel this energon in various ways. From enhancing his muscles to increase strength, hardening his skin for dense, or etc...
Another way Adam use his new found power in releasing Energon in concentrated bursts. From wide shotgun like bursts to sniper blasts he has a large array of energon blasts to choice from.
Healing Factor
If Adam's energon generation is his active skill, then his healing factor is his passive. As result of energon generating from the very core of his being Adam's cells heal at an exponential rate. Healing wounds instantly and regrow whole limbs in minutes.
You can blow up the human's head and with come right back. Even when using energon to fight Adam's healing factor is still in full effect. The limits of his healing are yet unknown.
