Brief Personality: Adric is pretty much the definition of confident. He was always the most brilliant in his class back on Alzarius, especially when it came to mathematics. The only problem with his brilliance is that he was far too aware of it. Being constantly praised does give one a rather sizable ego, and it was no different for Adric. He has a hard time keeping himself from correcting people or rolling his eyes at others' stupidity. Of course, in his time with the Doctor, Adric's ego has mellowed. He's discovered that there are things that he doesn't know and that he has quite a bit to learn in the large scheme of things. Not to mention, he was still quite a clumsy little oaf. He had to get a grip on that before he could really be helpful.
After the regeneration of the fourth Doctor, who Adric considered as quite a bit of a mentor, into the fifth Doctor, Adric felt as though he couldn't do anything to impress the Doctor anymore. If anything, he only seemed to get in the way. He'd craved the fourth Doctor's approval and got it quite often, and while the craving hadn't changed, the amount of it he was receiving had dropped significantly. If anything, his desperation to impress to Doctor added to him being that much more unsure of the abilities that he possesses. He's still arrogant, for sure, but now, he'll often follow up any sort of assertion of his intelligence with questions to verify that he's correct. |

| Brief History: Adric grew up on Alzarius, spending his youth in the wreckage of the Starliner learning from his elders and spending time with his brother, Varsh. It was around his fifteenth year of age that Varsh rebelled against the order that was held within the Starliner. Adric wished to go with his brother, but he was worried about leaving the colony. His education there was going well, and Adric rarely did anything without questioning it. Questioning was pretty much the core of Adric's existence. It was impossible for him not to wonder about the world around him, and "Why?" has always been his favorite word. Of course, his inquisitive ways had often got on his much more practical brother's nerves. To Varsh, he was just a kid, after all.
However, when Mistfall was called for the obedient members of the Starliner society, Adric took that as an opportunity to steal food for the Outlers and hopefully prove himself to his brother in the process. However, he was caught by one of the heads of the society, the First Decider Draith who had considered Adric his protege. Adric was able to get away, though, when Draith was swallowed by waves created by some strange force without the river. His last words "Tell Dexeter we've come full circle," puzzled Adric. That was, until he met the Doctor. The Doctor, then in his fourth incarnation, along with Romana took him into the TARDIS when he needed help recovering from a leg injury he had suffered during the chase. They provided him and the Outlers with the safety they needed from the Mistfall as well as from the colonist society. While the Doctor helped the Outlers and the Colonists to finally leave Alzarius, his brother, Varsh, was killed in the retreat while protecting the Doctor and Romana. With nothing to keep him with the colonists, since Varsh was the last family he had remaining, Adric stowed away in the TARDIS with the Doctor and Romana having no idea he was there. Adric spent the next couple of years traveling with the Doctor. He was even with him when he fell from a tower while working to foil one of the Master's plans and regenerated into his fifth incarnation. Adric had looked up to the Forth Doctor, turning to him for validation and acceptance after having lost his older brother. He saw him as a father figure, but with the Fifth Doctor, it was constantly like fighting an uphill battle. He could never seem to do anything right for him at all, no matter how hard her tried. He could control the TARDIS almost as well as the Doctor. He could help him with calculations and adjustments that he had to make. He was willing to stick out his neck in order to protect the Doctor, Tegan, and Nyssa, but it never seemed to be enough. In fact, his desire to prove himself to the Doctor is what ended up getting him in this position. Trapped on a cargo ship full of Cybermen that was about to crash into Earth, Adric figured that if he could complete the algorithm that was required to prevent the crash that he would really be able to prove himself worthy. He was only one number around (a 1 or a 2) when the Doctor INSISTED that they had to go. Having a stroke of genius the second they stepped into the lift to leave, Adric leapt out as the doors closed behind him in order to input the final number. It was a one, he was sure of it. Sadly, one of the still slightly functioning Cybermen destroyed the control panel before he could input the number. Lamenting that now he would never know that he was right, Adric watched as the ground grew closer and closer on the view screen. Just before he was about to crash, he felt a strange sensation pass over him and found himself somewhere that...clearly wasn't the cargo ship. |
