Jayden was once a human with a family and a normal life. He was a young teen when the apocalypse was brought about. After a pack of werewolves ravaged his hometown, Jayden lost his family and was completely alone in the world. While wandering around the east coast, trying to find other humans to seek shelter with, he came across someone who would change his life forever.
One night, he stumbled across a vampire who was feeding off of a human he had just killed. He tried to flee the scene, but the vampire followed in pursuit. To this day, he isn’t quite sure why Winter turned him, but ever since that night, he’s never looked back on his former life. Jayden now lives in the safe haven town of Greensville with Winter Evans, who he considers an adoptive father, and Henry Lafayette, the embodiment of the sin of Pride. He has yet to fully adjust to his new life as a vampire, but as each day goes by, he learns more and more about his newfound abilities.
Superhuman speed and strength
Superhuman agility and durability
Accelerated healing: When injured, his body can heal wounds almost instantly.
Heightened senses: His sense of smell, hearing, and sight are incredibly strong. He is able to smell blood from several meters away, hear conversations from far away distances, and see in total darkness.
Emotional enhancement/control: As a vampire, he feels emotions to a greater extent than he ever did as a human. However, he is also able to completely shut his emotions down.
Mind compulsion: He has the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase the memories of others.
Telepathy: He has the ability to enter the minds of humans by placing the palms of his hands on the temples of the person whose mind they want to enter. This ability is often used by vampires seeking information.
Immortality: He can no longer physically age past 18 years old, nor can he be harmed by conventional illnesses.
He is a new vampire, so he has not fully mastered certain abilities such as mind compulsion, telepathy, and emotional control.
If the Original Vampire from which his line is descended from is killed, he will die as well.
He must drink human blood or else his body will desiccate and mummify.
If he is exposed to or ingests vervain, he will become severely feverish and weak; this can potentially hinder his healing abilities. Physical exposure to the substance will burn his skin as well.
Accelerated healing only works to a certain degree. If body parts are detached, they cannot regenerate.
Immortality only applies to natural causes. He can permanently die if he abstains from blood too long, is stabbed in the heart with a wooden object, has his heart extracted, is decapitated, is set on fire, or is bitten by a werewolf.
He is extremely sensitive to fire and UV rays. Being exposed to sunlight or open flames for too long can result in him catching on fire.
He cannot enter the home of someone without being invited in by the homeowner, otherwise he will be in immense pain.
