"I must look for the next Ma for the sake of granting my ambition."

- Adam Moonlit

Adam Moonlit was a scientist from the Magic Kingdom Levianta and a director of Project 'Ma'. A brilliant yet mad scientist, he experimented with the creation of artificial humans and vessels of sin. After Pale Noël escaped with the first test subject, Adam took over Project 'Ma', selecting and using Eve Zvezda before she escaped with the twins. Dismissed from the project for his unorthodox experiments, he returned sometime after in pursuit of his ambition.

Early Life
He became a prominent scientist of the Magic Kingdom Levianta. At some point, he secretly began experiments to create artificial humans without the Leviantan Senate's permission. Later, Adam collaborated with the Senate to take Pale Noël's mother, Queen Maria, away from him. Hoping to achieve his ambitions, Adam took vested interested in Project 'Ma'.

Project 'Ma'
After the first Project 'Ma' failed and Pale and Meta Salmhofer fled the country, Adam was appointed the head for the second project. Searching for the new Ma, Adam chose Eve Zvezda of Apocalypse due to her unique magical power. With the cooperation of the Leviantan Senate, Adam planned and successfully executed Eve's capture and had her condemned to death. While she awaited her execution, he approached the witch and offered her freedom in exchange for becoming his test subject. Accepting the deal, Adam presided over Eve's inoculation with god's seed and later birthing of Hänsel and Gretel.

Shortly after, in EC 0, Eve fled with the twins and a search for the escaped mother began. During the process, Adam's past experiments on creating artificial humans was discovered and he was dismissed from the royal institute. Sometime after, Adam was readmitted to Project Ma after successive projects failed to produce twins. Passionately devoting himself to the seventh project, four potential candidates were surveyed and submitted to the Senate: User Blog:Swirly592/Irina Clockworker, User Blog:Swirly592/Elluka Chirclatia, User Blog:Swirly592/Milky Eights, and User Blog:Swirly592/Ly Li. Before the final selection could be made, the other three had been killed and the survivor, Elluka, was selected to become the Ma.

When the Magic Kingdom was destroyed due to the catastrophe, Adam manged to survive. Carrying a stuffed red cat under his arm, the scientist approached the limbless and dying body of Elluka during the moonlit night; soon after, he managed to put her spirit inside the cat. At some point, Adam began experimenting on creating devices similar in effect to Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome, and succeeding in producing several results, including a Snakeland styled sword harboring the Demon of Lust.

Personality and Traits
Adam was a deceiving and opportunistic person, valuing his personal ambitions over the well-being of others. Although outwardly appearing dedicated to Levianta's salvation and the success of Project 'Ma', he was only interested in his personal goals. He had also shown a degree of ruthlessness, forcing Eve into a situation where she had to choose between being his lab rat or being executed; while presiding over the Project, one of the latter subjects was even punished for her failure to produce twins. Adam also appeared to have a certain vested interest in Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome, going so far as to attempt to create vessels with similar effects to the condition's symptoms.

Skills and Abilities
As a scientist, Adam was considerably skilled and was among the best in the country, allowing him to be chosen as the new head for the Project. Also, following the catastrophe that left Levianta largely a lifeless wasteland, Seth managed to survive, seemingly uninjured. He also possessed the means to insert Elluka's spirit into a dead vessel and was capable of developing items for the Demons of Sin to inhabit.

Character Connections
Elluka Chirclatia: A previous Ma candidate: Adam initially saw potential for Elluka to become the new Ma, and later took a vested interest in her survival, providing her with a new body after the Levianta Catastrophe for his own reasons.

Pale Noël: A fellow scientist. Adam saw Pale's failure as an opportunity for him to take over Project 'Ma' in his stead.

Meta Noël: A previous Ma candidate: Adam saw Meta's failure as an opportunity for him to take over Project 'Ma' in replacing her.

Maria Noël: Adam's superior. He, as well as the rest of the Senate, saw her as an obstacle to their aims and so removed her from power.

Eve Zvezda: Adam's partner. Adam was impressed by Eve Zvezda's infamous magic ability, and so saw her as the perfect candidate for Project 'Ma'.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Adam Moonlit is inspired by Adam from Judeo-Christian mythology; like his biblical counterpart, although he does not commit the original sin himself, he is still very much a part of it.


 * The name "Adam" derives from Hebrew for "from the ground", linking him to Greed's original manifestation as The Soil as well as other characters portrayed by KAITO who are associated with Greed.
