| Personality |
Aaron was raised very disciplined, and that is reflected in his personality. He keeps to his routine, maintains good self-control and is very well organized. However, that doesn't mean he has the attitude of an army officer. Quite the contrary, in fact. He is a vibrant young man who loves life, but also loves work. A very purpose-driven guy, he will never start a project he doesn't intend to finish, and is extremely goal-oriented (the goal, of course, being to be the best attendant he possibly can and uphold his family's legacy). As a result he is always trying to better himself, be it in academics, art, or any other discipline. To some, especially other mages or humans, his dogged persistence and desire to be, essentially, the best slave he can be, can be a little odd or even off-putting. For him, though, his work is a matter of pride.

He is a perfect gentleman, well-spoken, and well-versed in etiquette (admittedly, to a point where those who weren't raised to be servants to royalty might find him to be a bit much). Friendly and dignified, he maintains composure in public, disliking overly emotional behavior. Luckily, he's not quite uptight to the point of awkwardness.

Aaron holds himself to impossibly high standards and as such, can sometimes push himself a little too hard. He becomes annoyed with himself in failure, but tries to use failure as a motivator. Being devoted as he is to being a good attendant, he is at risk of betraying his principles on the command of his master. Hopefully, though, it won't come to that.

| Bio |

Born to a mage family well-respected by the Council, Aaron's pedigree is long and impressive. Directly descended from Larand Starag himself (albeit many, many generations on) he has big shoes to fill and a sparkling reputation to uphold; as such, it comes as no surprise that he had a very structured and disciplined upbringing. Indeed, Aaron has been held to a high standard all his life, his entire childhood having been spent learning everything from etiquette to swordsmanship. He was taught academics and etiquette alike from private tutors, and has been kept on a strict diet and exercise regimen since he first became a teenager. You see, in the Starag family, the best thing you can become is an attendant to a vampire, and they take their assignment to the royal family very seriously. Therefore, their children are taught from a young age anything and everything that could be of use to make them the best attendants out there; how to conduct themselves in a vampiric court, how to keep themselves fit and healthy (i.e. in good feeding condition) and everything they might need to keep their future masters happy, from organizational skills to keep their master's appointments to martial training should they have to defend them.

Aaron was no exception. In fact, he was a glowing example of a Starag child on his way to great accomplishment as an attendant. Only one thing stood to impede him: whether or not he was actually a mage. One of the things Aaron remembers best from his childhood was a combination of anxiety and desperate hope that he would have magic and be accepted, as his ancestors were, into the ranks of mage attendants. Most of the Starag descendants before him had been mages, with the few who had not having left His Awakening day was the most exciting, terrifying, and highly-anticipated one of his life; he remembers practically shaking as he held his crystal in a white-knuckled grip, eyes tight shut, hoping with all of his might that the damn thing would light up. To his considerable joy and great relief, the crystal glowed brightly, emitting sharp rays of golden light all throughout the chamber.

In the two years since his Awakening, Aaron has been training harder than ever under the watchful eye of his tutors, knowing any day could be the day he was finally chosen to take his place at a Noila vampire's side. However, only a few weeks ago, he was informed that, against tradition, he would be attending Noila Academy instead of completing his studies under a tutor - at the command of Princess Ryner herself, the vampire whom his father and other relatives served - and, consequently, end up possibly being assigned to a vampire outside of the Noila family. As of now, he will be the first Starag mage to ever attend the academy.

Aaron keeps extremely good care of himself, partly because it's good for him both physically and mentally, and partly to make himself the best protector and most satisfying feed possible for his future master.

He was raised nocturnal in anticipation of his service to a vampire, so he'll have no trouble adjusting to life with a vampire.

He uses full-spectrum lighting to prevent vitamin D deficiency and seasonal affective disorder.

Aaron also keeps a diary and a detailed log of his health and habits. He uses a smartwatch to track his steps and activity.

Aaron wears a ring on his right middle finger made from the crystal that was used in his Awakening as a tool to help channel his magic. When he uses it, it glows bright yellow. When it's not being used, it appears amber. He also wears a longsword on his hip, for ceremonial reasons as well as for caution; it acts both as a regular sword and another object through which to channel his magic.
