What is a ceasar?
Caesar was a Roman family name that evolved into a title. After Octavian was adopted by Julius Caesar, he took the family name Caesar. His heir, Tiberius, was adopted and became a Caesar, while Gaius (Caligula) had a legitimate claim to the name through his father, who was also adopted. Claudius, became Claudius Caesar, because by his time, the Romans had associated supreme power with the name Caesar and from then on it became a title for all the emperors.
Were all of the emperors of Rome related?
No. There were imperial dynasties for the first 262 years of rule by emperors: Julio-Claudian (27 BC-68 AD, 5 emperors) Flavian 69-76, 3 emperors) Nervan-Antonine (96-192, 8 emperors) and Severan (193-235, 4 emperors). However, six of the Nerva-Antonine emperors succeeded their predecessors by having been adopted, rather than by being related to them.After 235 there was the Crisis of the Third Century in which there were repeated attempted invasions of the Roman Empire from across its vast frontiers. This put the army under great stress and led to military anarchy. Most of the emperors were military commanders who were proclaimed emperors by their troops.When stability returned there was the Constantiniandynasty (305-363, 6 emperors). The Valentinian dynasty had 4 emperors who ruled the western part of the Roman Empire from 364 to 392 and the eastern part of the empire from 364 to 378. The Theodosian dynasty had three emperors and ruled the eastern part of the empire from 379 to 457 and the western part from 392 to 423.After this the western part of the Roman Empire started to crumble under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. There was loss of political cohesion, a lot of infighting, a string of usurpers and no dynasties. The eastern part of the empire was not affected by these invasions, continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years and had 12 dynasties and 4 non-dynastic periods which lasted from 1 to 22 years.

What was the name of the leader who started an adopted system of rulers in roman?
It is not clear what you mean by an adopted system of rulers. If you mean a system where the incumbent emperor adopted his successor, the Romans did not have such a system. After emerging as the winner of the civil wars which brought down the Roman Republic, Augustus established his own absolute rule and started the 503-year period of rule by emperors which followed the republic. He did not establish any systems or rules regarding the succession of emperors and the Romans subsequently never devised one. Augustus, seemed to favour the two sons of his most important ally, Agrippa, by adopting them. However, he did not designate them as heirs. When they died he adopted Tiberius, the surviving son his wife Livia had from her previous marriage. However, he did not designate him as a heir either. Tiberius was proclaimed emperor after Augustus' death. Augustus was reluctant to designate a heir for fear of political opposition to his rule. The next few emperors were selected from the family of Augustus (the Julians) and of Livia (the Claudians). Following this the Julio-Claudian dynasty (5 emperors) there was a brief rule by the Flavian dynasty (3 emperors). It was only with the Nerva--Antonine dynasty that the successors were adoptive sons (Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius). Marcus Aurelius, however, was succeeded by his natural son, Commodus.

Can the Patricians and Plebeians move up or down the social ladder?
Yes they could. Some patrician clans became plebeian over time. Some patrician clans became extinct. Some patrician men had themselves adopted by plebeian families so as to give up their patrician status because they wanted to become plebeian tribunes. Some plebeian notables were elevated to patrician status by emperors during the period of rule by emperors.
Who were the claudian emperors?
The Claudian emperors were two of the first five Roman emperors, or perhaps I should say one and a half of the first five Roman emperors. The first five emperors are referred to as the Julio-Claudian dynasty. This was because Augustus had no male heir and so adopted Tiberius, who was a Claudian. He was the "one" Claudian emperor. He was followed by Caligula, who was a Julian, and he, in turn was followed by Claudius who was a Claudian on his father's side and a Julian on his mother's side. So Claudius was half Claudian and half Julian. Nero, a Julian, rounded out the dynasty.
