Adam loves Glider as a community and wants to keep it as varied and lively as possible. Even though his constant stream of ideas doesn’t play well with everybody, he is somehow able to convince them to join a new manifestation - or a hackathon - just one more time.

He’s the NGO guy, helping different organizations to maintain basic security measures or have database backups done on time. Every day he does something for somebody - and mingles with other activists at every public event.

When he does have some free time on his hands, Adam likes doing some journalism, searching unwisely published databases or scraping the web, seeing much more than his colleagues from the press.

With all the social activism, Adam tends to be a little too self-focused. He is known for stealing the spotlight and claiming different projects as his - even if all he did was to deliver some leads.

Adam is a scrawny guy in his thirties. He usually looks stern, but he's all capable of hearthy laugh, especially in company of the Cynic. He's a talkative extrovert always willing to tell people why sharing and Free Software are imporant, how they cannot surrender their privacies to corporations. When presenting himself and his work he stands proud, and subconsciously focuses most of the attention on himself.

His idea of “smart casual” consists of a formal jacket thrown over regular tshirt and jeans. He usually carries a day's worth of beard, not really finding time to shave properly.

One of his most distinct parts of his appearance are his glasses - each of which comes from a different frame connected by hotglue. One of them is thicker and rectangular, while the other thin, oval and metallic. This gives him a look similar to Spider Jerusalem, yet not as bold. Adam keeps saying that he should finally replace the glasses with new ones - if he only has money to do so. They are also a constant object of ridiculing by Cynic.

One of the best ways of representing the glasses (in color) is drawing Adam with a screen in front of his face. Each of the lenses has a little bit different anti-reflex coating, giving reflexes tinted greener and redder like this [TODO: needs more research]. Alternatively, different colors of pages / charts / parts of the screen can reflect in each of the lenses, giving similar effect.

[alxd] I want to leave a lot of freedom concerning his appearance, since I always see some very specific faces of activists I know. Try imagining someone who's in his thirties, looks somewhat proud and a little too serious until he starts talking - when he's friendly and warm, wanting to share his passions.
