Adam Pines

“Sorry, my friend, but I don’t want any corporate product.” —Adam Pines Adam Northwest Pines (アダム・ノースウエスト・パインズ Adamu Nōsuuesuto Painzu) is an original character in Project X Zone III: War of Infinite Worlds and one of the main characters of the game. A six-fingered master paladin and devout Catholic, he is known as a "Prophet from the Future" basically because he is from the future. Not much is known about his past however.

Profile
So far what was known about his past was that Adam Pines was born from an irreligious middle-class family in a remote area in Oregon, United States. When he was twelve years old, he witnessed an attack on his hometown by the malicious vile creatures of the Ouma organization. At that moment, he witnessed his parents killed at the hands of Satan. This bought Adam enough time to run away from danger, far off from his destroyed home, and into the unknown wilderness.

Much later, he was eventually found by a Shinra agent, lying on the ground nearly dead in a secluded desert area in Nevada and taken in into a secret sacred headquarters in Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan. At that point forth, he became a member of Shinra, a divine Catholic organization dedicated to protecting the innocent and defending honor across the Multiverse in the name of a higher and all-merciful God that members revere as the Great Founder.

During his first years in Shinra, he met a young girl named Eve Butterfly, a princess from another dimension who was taken in as a baby after her parents went missing when their kingdom was laid waste in a war, and raised as a formidable warrior in the holy agency. Together, they formed a partnership to combat evil and trained to become great warriors of untested skill.

Thirteen years later, Adam became a master paladin and sorcerer, wielding the powers of Heaven and the elements at will, and one of the most powerful and capable fighters of Shinra, with skills possibly matching that Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu, who are also Shinra veterans.

Taking information from the three books written by Adam's great-grand-uncle, the Revelator of Mysteries, and merging with his visions, prophecies and magic spells that he learned and also created, he created an incredibly heavy tome and his signature book, the Tome of the Revelations.
