NEEDLESS/Characters

Character sheets for various characters in Needless here. Potential spoilers ahead, you have been warned.

Adam Blade
The only successful result of an experiment by the Japanese government and the 666 Committee to create a clone of "The Second." Spends his time hiding out in a church, wearing the jacket of a priest even though he has no knowledge of the bible, the priesthood, or anything outside of fighting really.
