Editing William Adama (2003 Video Game)

''This article is about the characterization of William Adama from a 2003 video game, which has its own continuity. For information on the commander of battlestar ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]], see [[William Adama]].''


'''Lt. William Adama''', call-sign "Husker" (because of his rough voice) is the 21-year protagonist of the [[Video game|Battlestar Galactica video game]] from late 2003. The player assumes the role of "Husker" in the course of the game.

Adama's father had served in the Colonial military with [[Magus]], and had saved his life more than once. When his parents died at a young age, Adama was rasied on [[Caprica]] before joining the Academy at the age of 15. After graduating at the start of the [[Cylon War]], he became a pilot on [[Magus]]' ship, the battlestar ''[[Galactica (Video Game)|Galactica]]''. Magus became a father-figure to him, and Adama fell in love with his daughter, [[Iphigenia]].

Along with Iphi, his wingmen were Magus' son [[Paulus]], and [[Cain, Garris|Lt. Garris Cain]].

Cylon scrolls refer led them to believe that Adama will lead the Cylons to discover the [[Thirteenth Tribe]]; as such, he drew much interest from the [[Imperious Leader]], [[Lord Erebus]].

==Note==

The [[Video Game|2003 Video Game]] draws elements from what was to become the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|"Re-imagined" (RDM) Series]] as well as elements familiar to the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] (TOS). Because of this and new elements, the Video Game creates a continuity that is generally separate from the TOS and RDM series.

*In the game, Adama marries a woman named Iphigenia. In the Original Series, his wife is named [[Ila]].
*In the game, Adama has a full name, "William Adama." The Original Series character had no such name, but the same name (and callsign) are used for the [[William Adama|character in the Re-imagined Series]].
*Using a special cheat, the Original Series characters of [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] are available as wingmen to the player character, Adama. This wholly contradicts the characterizations of both Original Series and Re-imagined Series, where Starbuck and Apollo are subordinates to Adama. Further, Adama is Apollo's father in the Original Series, so for young Adama to fly with his son of the same age (game cheat notwithstanding) is a temporal contradiction.

-Adama's father had served in the Colonial military with [[Bryn Magus]], and had saved his life more than once; he died during a skirmish with [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] near Sagitara, when Adama was eight. Adama's mother died during childbirth. Raised on [[The Twelve Colonies of Man#Caprica|Caprica]], Magus ensured that the orphaned boy was well cared for, partly to honor the debt he felt to the young Adama's father. Adama later joined the Colonial Academy at the age of 15. After graduating from officer training at the start of the [[Cylon War]] with honors, Commander Magus specifically requested him for assignment to his ship, the battlestar ''[[Galactica (2003 Video Game)|Galactica]]''. Magus became a father-figure to him, and Adama fell in love with his daughter, [[Iphigenia]] Magus.

+==Note==
-*This character is part of a separate continuity that mixes elements from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]] and [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] as well as unique material. It is not a [[canon]]ical item in either series.
-*In the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]], [[Adama (TOS)|Commander Adama]] had married [[Ila]]. In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]], the character of [[William Adama]] married [[Carolanne Adama]].  This William Adama character has more in common with its [[Adama (TOS)|Original Series counterpart]] than its [[William Adama|Re-imagined Series character]] of the same name and call-sign, but is essentially a unique character.
