"Youth is incredible becausexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
you really do
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxfeel invincible"
Aaron is the kid who never grew up, and unfortunately for everyone around him, he is doomed to stay that way for the rest of eternity. He is young and youthful, over flowing with life and joy at the little things, always running when he could walk and yelling where he could talk. He has the world at his feet, and has his whole life stretched out in front of him. He accepts all new things into his life with ease and excitement, being incredibly adaptable. Aaron is incredibly undisciplined and lacks any form of self-control. He follows his whims and never cares for what comes after, and takes no responsibility for his actions. His also perpetually in that teenager phase of rebellion, against authority and all things controlling. Even going so far as to do things just because he was told he couldn’t. The moment Aaron hears he can’t, he is compelled to, just to prove people wrong.
Aaron is friendly to all. Though this can annoying a great many people, as he treats everyone like a best friend, mooching off them, getting into their personal space, and acting like he knows everything about them. Though even if you try and shake Aaron off, you’ll find you just can’t. He is very happy and upbeat, and you just can’t drag him down, no matter what you try. He is one worry-free guy and not much will ever change that. Always being in a jovial mood, Aaron one for joking around and goofing off. He can turn anything into a joke (even if it’s not a particularly good joke). He is also a little bit of a flirt, though he means nothing by it, he never really flirts to pick up or anything, it’s just his way of injecting a bit of life and humour into his conversations.
Aaron has no boundaries, like none, at all. It doesn’t matter how well he knows someone, he’ll ask all the awkward personal questions no one else will, and will come over to your house in the middle of the night, just to chat. He is the one friends that is just always there and you can’t get rid of, kind of like termites. No subtleties work on this guy, he just breezes right any hints you make about him maybe not eating all the food in your fridge, or laying on your lap, or even just hinting that its getting late and he should go. You end up just having to ask Aaron outright, and even then you have little chance of getting him to leave you alone. It just isn’t in his nature, he needs that social interaction. Aaron also has no filter, he says the first things that come to his mind, and asks the question everyone wants to ask but are socially obliged not to. He never reads the room before speaking his thoughts, which often lands him in awkward situations, even if he doesn’t feel that it’s awkward.
Aaron was born the youngest of four boys, and is bound to take that fact with him everywhere he goes. He is the perfect embodiment of a younger sibling who craves the acceptance and respect of his older siblings, often having people in his life acting as surrogates for his brothers, and having them bear the brunt of his need for approval, idolising them as such. He is also a big follower, always shirking away from leadership and responsibility. Preferring to follow closely behind someone else, eager to please them and idolise them. Hence, Aaron is incredibly impressionable and malleable, always trying to be more like the around him that he follows and looks up to. Though this can sometimes lead to him being taken advantage of, because he is so eager to please that he is very easily persuaded into doing just about anything.
Aaron was born in a place far from Lake Grove, under the name Aaron Chavez. His parents were both teachers at the local high school, and were pretty lax on rules for their four sons, letting them roam around town and get up to all sorts of their own. They would just rock up at friends’ and neighbours’ house alike, there were no boundaries or etiquette in his family. Aaron’s parents, fed him, looked after him, made sure he did his homework and all the good parenting stuff, however he spent so much time hanging about the neighbourhood with his brothers that a lot of Aaron’s up bring was left in the hands of his brothers. Which of course meant Aaron spent most his life trying to be like them and impress them. Wanting the spotlight and attention all younger siblings craved in their own way.
Everything was happy and fairly standard to a degree in Aaron’s life, until just after his 19th birthday he was diagnosed with cancer. He doesn’t really remember there being anymore happy memories after that. No more hanging with his brothers around town until dusk, or taking the dirt bikes him and his brother had up to the muddy hills just out of town. He spent the next two years in and out of hospital fighting a losing battle, slowly and painfully getting worse and worse. That was when he met Erik. One night when he was staying in hospital, Erik came and chatted to him for a while. Erik visited Aaron a few more times just to chat before coming into his room one night and turning him into a vampire, saving him from his imminent death.
After that Aaron and Erik had to leave his hometown. Erik had orchestrated a faking of Aaron’s death, and his family could never know that he was still alive or what he had become. That was a year and a half ago, and Aaron hasn’t left Erik’s side. Erik showed him everything about being a vampire, and set him up with a new name and all the important stuff for a modern day vampire. Aaron never left him though, despite Erik’s protests, and has come with him to Lake Grove. Though he wasn’t given a room and is currently sleeping on his couch.
