Background
Beginnings
Adrian lead a pretty average life. He worked hard, or as hard as he had to in order to get by, and wasted all of his leisure time on nothing in particular. When pressed for a career choice, he tended to answer things like MILLIONAIRE or ARCHDUKE. In his aimless sort of way, he blundered into college and lasted about two semesters on a business degree before dropping out. Not overly daunted, though vaguely aware he had disappointed his parents, Adrian toiled in smalltime part-time jobs until landing entry level work as a used car salesman. His middling work ethic meant that he barely met sales targets and was thus overlooked for promotion more than once. A self-fulfilling prophecy of mediocrity kept him in place for years - even transferring to an out-of-town dealership in Galaxy City did nothing to shake him from his rut.
Birth of Impulsive Man
This all in mind, Adrian wasn't an unhappy man until a little after his thirtieth birthday. He woke up and for the first time was aware that he was a goalless, loveless, sad little man who would remain so indefinitely. For some, this might have prompted an honest re-assessment of life. Others might have been crushed under the weight of the revelation. Adrian... Adrian faced his early mid-life crisis square on, hands on his hips, and then got ready and went to work. The day Galaxy City fell, he punched his manager, customers, coworkers... a passerby earned a particular impressive spin-kick he was proud of! And then he ran like hell.
Decisions
Feel free to add in any good or bad decisions made impulsively, whether IC or not!
Good Decisions
- A kindly old professor allowed him to become a monster tamer! When prompted for a name, Impulsive Man was deemed lengthy, and he became IMPULV. This gent then introduced IMPULV to his rival, the professor's granddaughter, whose name he had forgotten! Impulsive Man, while pondering the girl's name, let out a HMM, which became her name. HMM decided to turn into some sort of squid monster! At the professor's urging, Impulsive Man decided this monster would be his companion, and was asked to name it. Impulsive Man said the first thing that came to mind, "BUTTS".
- Protesting the oppression of the air! And the right to drink tea! Or whatever was going on during that whole fracas...
Bad Decisions
- Breakveil: Breaky's always up for a bad decision! More accurately, her prompting has lead the pretty gullible hero on all sorts of wacky adventures. Most notably, he blames his capacity for flight on drinking one of her cocktails - jet fuel and tequila, the patron spirit of bad decisions!
- After falling in with a crowd headed by a big guy, Impulsive Man became lost in a den of zombies. Later on, his terrible sense of direction ensured the same happened, but in a warehouse full of vampires!
- Any trip to Pocket D, which features a tailor right by one of the bars!
- His haircut.
