The eldest son of Thadeus Ronalds, Adam was a dedicated student, determined to one day take up the family's secret tradition, the study of magic, a talent that they hid from the world at large because it was far from ready to accept them. Adam was a promising student and would have done well, if he hadn't in his research stumbled across the existence of the demonic undead known as the Vampire. He thought little of this until during his senior year of high school, his best friend, Blake Rollands started hanging around a group of Vampire wannabe's and about halfway through the year disappeared.

Adam was surprised when Blake called late at night almost 3 months after his disappearance. Adam invited his friend in and led him into the living room and almost fainted when he noticed his friend cast no reflection in the mirror, trying to keep calm Adam asked if Blake would like a drink, when his friend acquiesced Adam hurried into the kitchen and thanking his lucky stars for being a part of a magical family, which kept holy water around for certain spells, filled a pitcher of water with holy water and went out to the living room. Unfortunately for Adam his old friend made his move then and there and using his vampiric gaze to crush Adam's will before sucking out his blood. Unfortunately for Blake, he accidentally knocked pitcher of water onto himself as he left, the holy water burnt him to a rather messy death.

Adam's family came home to find him dead, with no trace of a killer, he was buried in due course and rose the night after his burial as a vampire.

Newly risen as one of the walking dead Adam immediately tracked down the gravedigger and grabbed him, this is where Adam realised his strength was somewhat more than it was before because he accidentally broke the guys ribs, but since a mere minute later he was a bloodless husk, it didn't matter much.

Over the next few nights, Adam discovered that his strength had increased from merely above average, to being capable of beating up a quarterback, his speed had increased drastically, and his mental abilities had sharpened and he had developed a greater force of personality.

Perhaps because of his basically good nature, his pre-existing chaotic nature or his family loyalty, Adam has found himself considerably less evil than the average vampire, indeed he places his family above his own survival and prosperity, he goes out of his way to protect them, and as a magical family, who don't have a completely pure record some of them return the favour.

A year as a vampire hasn't done much to Adrian, he's stayed out of the sun and away from any of the more powerful vampire's around the town. The only major event of the year was when he created his first spawn. The rest of the time was spent killing and drinking the blood of the innocent to nourish his unholy thirst and studying his family's books on magic, as Adam had figured that it would give him a nice edge in the vampire to vampire struggle that would inevatably come up. It occured sooner than he had expected.

Adam had carefully chosen a candidate, a young girl named Tracy, unfortunately for Adam, she proved to have a very strong will and shortly after being turned she turned on him and tried to kill him. Adam managed to escape the first attack after learning the very important lesson, that some Vampire's would be stronger and faster than he was. The battle raged over most of the year, Adam creating 5 more vampires to help him in his battle, after Tracy started creating more vampires to back her up , by the end of the year, only Adam and Tracy survived.

The final battle occured in a warehouse downtown where Adam had carefully led Tracy after deciding on his plan. He had rigged the place with hidden weapons, such as pool cues, stakes and holy water. Since Adam knew where everything was hidden Tracy found herself at a distinct disadvantage but the battle raged and only by making use of a broken crate to form a makeshift stake did Adam manage to win.


/End

Tracy's stats will be up soon as will a stat for the vampire goons/henchman.

Before becoming a Vampire, Tracy had been training in the martial arts, the discipline she had developed in her train is what allowed her to throw of the chains of her creator's will. Filled with the vampiric attitude she immediately set about getting revenge, for almost a year she hunted Adam, her physical superioty meant he always found himself the worse off in this situations so he would flee. Tracy having learnt from Adam's initial mistake created her vampire servants from thugs with very little willpower. Unfortunately for her, they weren't terribly bright either and regularly fell into traps.

Eventually Tracy made the same mistake chasing a fleeing Adam into a warehouse, where she found to her chagrin that he had rigged the battle field, her sheer strength and speed kept her alive until in desperation Adam had broken a crate and thrown the resulting sharp piece of wood into her heat causing her instant death.
