Aden’s relationship with Tristan is complex; Lover and Fighter, Master and Servant, Sire and Childe, wavering not only with their moods but also with their physical proximity to each other.
He was only recently sired and is still feral by vampire standards. It takes several weeks of drinking from his Sire to form a bond which is painful and difficult to break but also keeps the Childe grounded mentally. A feral vampire if left alone will easily succumb to insanity and blood-lust and will have to be eliminated.
A vampire of their set isn’t held by the classical urban myths of vampires; they can walk in the sun, eat garlic, cross rivers and are unaffected by holy water and crosses. Silver, even flakes of it, is extremely painful and burns the skin. They’re not dead beings either, the vampiric attributes more like a step in evolution than a fatal curse. Still retaining body warmth and a heartbeat the only distinguishable physical difference is the sharp canine teeth for puncturing human flesh. They heal much faster than a normal human, but are not resistant to skin abrasions such as bruising. They do have a level of super-senses and reflexes, hearing, sight, taste, touch, speed and strength.
Aden is less vicious by vampire standards; not only because of his nature but because he is blind. He had snuck out one night to feed before they had realized he had bonded in an attempt to hunt on his own. When it was, of course, discovered he was missing Tristan found him easily. Assuming he was feral and could cause havoc amongst the humans outside the club bathroom he had barricaded himself inside Tristan hit the young vampire with silver-flake laced water. The aftermath of this scuffle is complete blindness, discoloration causing the unnaturally light shade and mismatched color (one blue, one green) of his eyes, and slight scarring around his eyes (will fade). If his blindness is temporary or permanent is unknown to both he and Tristan, though Aden hopes to regain his sight as soon as possible.
