{Appearance;;} Adair's an interesting-looking character, that's for sure. Standing at five-foot-ten, he's decently tall and seems to be of a healthy weight. Nimble and long-legged, he also has all of the agility and balance of a cat, and somehow, it's easy to read this by looking at his body-- he just seems to look extrordinarily agile and acrobatic.
Adair's face is heart-shaped, pallid, and slightly childish, with curiously wide, round eyes and a trusting smile. In fact, one could say that he looks quite like a cherub, with an extrordinary innocence present in his exotic features. But it's obvious almost at once that there is something dark about him. He has a certain aura about him, making one notice immediately that he is not all that he seems.
Courtesy of his mother, Adair has slightly lengthy, honey-colored hair that curls into a mass of ringlets quite naturally. The strands are super-silky, and fall just past his chin, usually resting on his neck and shoulers. His hair is parted just shy of the middle of his forehead, with some bangs falling off to one side, covering one ear but leaving his eye exposed, while the others cascade over the left side of his face (well, his left...) and cover most of his face. His other eye can usually be found peeking out from within these curly locks.
Adair's eyes also come from his mother, at least partially. Though their shape resembles those of his father - slightly slanted and almond-shaped, as most people with Asian heritage - their colour is very much the opposite of the dark ones that his father possesses. Adair's eyes are a very, very pale, shocking blue, nearing white, with the irises lined with a thin ring of midnight blue on the edges. His gaze holds an extremely noticible intensity, and there are times during which this seemingly innocent man - still appearing to be a boy, really - appears to be staring through your soul.
Aside from these piercing, eerie eyes, the rest of his face seems relatively normal, if you ignore the color of his skin. Most of the peach color seems to have gone, leaving it extremely pale, and very soft-looking and relatively flawless. He has a petite "pixie nose", which is just slightly crooked, the result of it getting broken as a young child; his lips are thin and also rather pale, hiding straight, white teeth behind them.
{Personality;;} Adair is hard to describe in just one word, because there are so many sides to his personality. He's a multi-faceted person, with perhaps dozens of different personalities buried within him, so that one hardly knows how the man is going to act when they speak to him-- will he act sweet and polite? Dark and suggestive? Or quick-tempered, cruel, and violent? There is a certain amount of risk that one must take when they choose to speak to Adair, but he's hardly ever in a bad enough mood to lash out physically. Usually, this only happens when he's hungry, when his bloodlust has become too strong and he's going insane with longing.
The personality that the man shows most of the time is a rather complex one in itself. Quiet, mild-mannered, and polite, but in a somewhat icy way. Adair prefers to observe rather than act, to listen to and analyze others rather than speak himself. Though he may appear a bit mysterious in this respect, it's not because he's not interested in the situation that he does not speak-- it's usually because he has little or no idea what is going on around him. However, while Adair seldom speaks, he has an extremely expressive face, and if he's feeling an emotion strongly enough, it will be displayed there like a billboard. If he's upset, he'll cry, with no regard to who might be watching; if he's angry, he lashes out at whoever's nearby, creating a fuss and acting perfectly horrid; if he's happy, he's like a little kid in a candy store.
Adair also has a more seductive side, which comes in handy while he feeds. He's attractive, and he's acutely aware of this, and he uses it to his own advantage. Through years of practice and observation, he's learned just how to use his voice, how to hold his body, how to sit and walk and smile to drive those of the opposite sex - or the same sex - wild. While he's quite naïve by nature, he can transform himself into a creature of desire and lust, and this is often his greatest weapon.
Adair's main weakness is a lack of intelligence. While the man knows how to work at a person, to find their deepest insecurities or drive them mad with desire, he posesses little understanding of how the world works, and he is quite easily tricked himself!
Perhaps the most important thing to Adair is his younger sister, Mina. Though he hasn't spoken to her in over a decade, since he was abducted and turned, he has seen the woman that his baby sister has become on several occasions, and adores her nearly to the point of obsession, though she believes him dead. He has yet to make his identity known to her, simply because he does not want her to know that he is no longer human.
{History;;} Adair was born to Li and Charlotte Jiang in the city of London, and from the start, he was a rather strange child. Always a bit distant, his parents noticed, and slow to learn. The fact that he had some sort of mental problem was noticed immediately, but these issues were never completely understood, even by Adair himself. Even as a child, he was an extremely slow learner, plagued by delusions, and most noticably, he was extremely superstitious and believed greatly in black magic.
The original plan for his future was for him to begin working alongside his father in the family's store, and for awhile, this is exactly what they did. Adair continued living with his parents - never quite knowing that he was expected to leave eventually, in fact - until the age of 19. It was during this fateful year that his young life was cut short. The man had been outside, strolling the streets of London, when all of a sudden he met a strange man, a tall and pale one with long, glassy fingernails and strange fangs. The man made a grab for Adair, but the teen quickly turned and fled, heading back to his own house immediately. The vampire, however, was not content to let his prey go, and invaded the house once Adair arrived in the solitude of his own room, preparing for bed. The vampire grabbed the man and bit him-- but not before Adair could emit a blood-curdling scream. The vampire was discovered, but the one who walked in as he was feeding was a young girl, and so the vampire quickly fled, dragging his half-finished meal with him. No one would believe a child, anyway.
When Adair awoke, his life was gone, and his afterlife had begun. He had no guide to show him how to feed or the guidelines of being a vampire, and he had to learn by himself. He began wandering the streets, alone, learning on his own that the sun would now hurt him-- that he would now feed on the blood of humans-- and, most importantly to him, that he would not be able to return home to his family in such a condition. For the first time in his life, he would be forced to survive on his own.
