OVERALL
AJ overall is still figuring out who he is and what he's living for. He definitely knows what he likes and what he dislikes, and what he wants, but he still isn't sure of his real purpose. He struggles with anger as well conviction from the memories of his past, though over time he has gradually grown, proving to show his maturity and temperance more often as time passes. Due to this, the next few years of his life will be a turning point for the rest of his life, depending on who he is around and how he decides to live.

Deep down he wants to live making good choices, knowing the consequences will make things better and more worthwhile. He however, is at war with himself, and torn between two animals inside that are fighting to live different ways; one that expresses to him that a life that is spent wisely and with consideration for others will lead to a worthwhile purpose. But, the other beast, expresses his innate desires of pleasure and darkness, which, even though are temporarily very pleasurable, never seem to be fully sated or leave him feeling proud. He has several positive and negative attributes, and it is ultimately up to him to choose which to reinforce. Only time will tell.

OVERALL

Being the first born, Aaron had the brunt of strictness that most parents dished out during their beginning stages of child rearing due to their inexperience in discipline or working with children in general. They went a little too far to the extreme, and instead of balancing it out with love and kindness, there was indifference, inconsistency, and lack of healthy communication within the family structure.

Like most married couples, they soon had more children, and by then their parental skills were going to a complete opposite extreme in their attempts to change their approach seeing that it was failing their first son. As a result, Aaron grew rebellious and defiant, a normal response to his parent's teaching methods, with his sister following suit. Initially, the family was a wreck, but due to his father's counseling through his own problems and his mother's sudden interest in self-help books they managed to save their marriage and work through it with the children. The children also received counseling, and by the time a third child was added into the family, things were going exceptionally well compared to how they had been.

This change he saw in his parents made him learn respect and honor, and realize the meaning of hard work. He set goals, achieved them, and improved more. Being the older of his three siblings, he set the pace for the others, and they too improved. This empowered him to keep pushing forward through his anger and the turmoil of his past that he had chosen.

By the time he was nineteen, he was out on his own, following his dreams and living life to the fullest. He finally felt confident and well-rounded, striving to better himself every day. He lived like this for about two years, until right after his twenty-first birthday he chose to hang out with the wrong crowd. He boozed it up, as was the custom of "normal" adults, to binge drink and drive recklessly, or was it? His friends did it, the guys people he admired, so it must be cool, right? Wrong.

That night he ended up in a motorcycle accident, nearly dead. He was rushed to the hospital, where they saved his life. He was grateful and he recovered steadily. About a day or so before he was about to leave the hospital, very late one night he fell victim to a young, attractive nurse, whom had been flirting with him throughout his stay. His instinct knew something was different about her. So intriguingly enticing, yet so deadly.

She was a vampire. After he turned, by the enraged cravings of blood and erratically chaotic nightmares, he knew she was some kind of supernatural beast that had turned him into something else. He fled as soon as he could, fearful that the doctors would find out and take advantage of his state, to operate or experiment upon him like some lab test animal, tearing, cutting, testing... while he was still alive and awake.

After that night everything was a blur or memories for about two weeks, where he finally managed to get his urges under control to some extent. He had killed.. taken innocent lives, mostly of women. And it was on his conscience, or at least what he could remember. He had been killing like some starved animal, feeding off of others like a devouring wolf, with no limit in reach of sating his appetite. Night after night, it was the same ritual, and as much as he hated it, he craved every second of it like it was liquid ecstasy in his mouth.

His family has no idea what really happened to him or where he is now. He had been too ashamed to return home, seeing that he was some kind of bloodsucking animal now. All they had witnessed was a security clip of a deranged, masculine figure that very similarly resembled their son, running through the halls and leaping out the window as if to commit suicide, but yet they know of no body hitting the ground.

RP SAMPLE

Umber lifted her head away from the grass blades that caressed her quivering nostrils, resisting the urge to sneeze. Her pace picked up again, noticing the vast amount of space in front of her that she would have to cover if she was going to make it there before dark. She was farther away from the falls than she previously anticipated, but for some reason she had a feeling that something was not exactly right. She didn't think much more about it and continued to run, again, not heeding to caution.

Now deep in thought about the days earlier events, she was oblivious to the gradual lowering of terrain and the change in the earth's sediment from grassy soil to a smooth rock mixture. It wasn't until she reached the edge of the cliff after smoothly maneuvering around some thick bushes that she finally realized she was upon the falls.

Her body intensely recoiled, nearly sitting down on her haunches a she drifted by, in an attempt to avoid falling down the slippery depths of the terrain. However, it was already too late, and the onwards momentum continued to push her forwards, right off the edge. It all happened so fast, how could she not sense this coming? Had she been that distracted? She was more upset than she realized. At the last second, she managed to catch a solid footing with a few of her feet, enabling her to aim herself to land away from any large rocks below and into the misty water.

Fortunately, she hit the water with the least amount of surface space exposed, landing on her rear first in the part of the water that was rippled by the waterfall's own force, not making her impact such a painful one. Everything became a blur as she twisted her body through the water, feeling herself sinking deeper and deeper until her paws hit the cold, rocky bottom. Slightly panicking, she nearly inhaled a gulp of water, due to the fact that she wasn't accustomed to swimming in freezing water, or at all. Frantically, she did her best to bring herself instinctively in the right direction, up to the surface of the water. Mere seconds seemed like minutes. Finally, she broke the surface and gasped deeply, inhaling the fresh, sweet air.

A growl emitted from her as she irritatedly stumbled upon the shore, her eyes still blinking the fuzziness from them, still not seeing clearly just yet. And of course, it wasn't over, she had to trip herself over a couple of good sized rocks covered in slick moss, a barking snarl emitting from her in her own anxiety and agitation. Even though she knew she was lucky to be alive, she wasn't liking the new circumstances either. In the process she neared the other canine, that of which she wasn't aware of just yet, .. tumbling right for her.
