Background
-
Adrien was born in Amsterdam. For many years it was just his mother, himself and his older sister Ingrid. His mother, Adonna-Leigh, had the occasional partner but no one ever stuck around. Adonna was a heavy drug addict, and often made her money by selling her body. When Adrien was about 9 his mother had stuck up a relationship with a pink haired woman, Bliss Joy, this relationship stuck.
Bliss became a permanent fixture in the family, she was Adonna's Lover, she took care of the children, and supported the family financially. Adonna was her blood doll, and later on Bliss' ghoul. Yet Adonna wasn't satisfied with that, she knew everything about Bliss, and she wanted it. She wanted to be a vampire, Bliss flat out refused. A vicious argument ensued. Adonna left swearing up and down that she would get her way, and she didn't need Bliss for it. About 5 days passed, Adrien's mother hadn't been seen. Eventually the cops came knocking, Adonna was dead, the blood drained from her body.
Instead of giving the children over to social services, Bliss chose to continue what she had been doing, and continued to support the children. While Ingrid was too stubborn to attend school, Adrien begged to go to boarding school. He needed to get away, he wanted to be normal; ignorant to the way the world really worked. Vampires -and god knows what else- are fucking real, and his legal guardian was one.
Adrien was a popular boy in school, he never fit into one crowd either. He was the one kid who everybody knew, and usually the one kid they all had something to say about. Although his charismatic grin and playful gait made him plenty of friends, he has his share of enemies as well; he always referred to them as his haters. They usually consisted of people who lost a girlfriend - more often than not a boyfriend- to him, people he slept with, or the people who were generally uncomfortable with the way the flamboyant young man lived his life. He was smart but unmotivated, creative and idealistic but lazy and unreliable. In the end he barely passed any of his classes, barely managed to graduate, with no desire to attend college and no job opportunities Adrien returned to live with Bliss.
In the large bustling city of San Paulo Adrien found work as a part time model and also worked at The Elysum - Bliss' club- from time to time, essentially earning his keep. The boy was great with people, and knew how to mix drinks. In touch with the youths of today, current trends, and technologies Adrien became a valuable resource for Bliss. his input helps her blend the two worlds so seamlessly.
