Adrian Vale is a handsome, charismatic 24-year-old man who has cultivated an image of being mysterious, successful, emotionally intelligent, and unusually perceptive.

Most of that image is fabricated.

Adrian enjoys being wanted far more than he enjoys actually knowing people. He seeks out people who are emotionally receptive to affection and makes each person feel as though they occupy a uniquely important place in his life. He remembers small details, sends affectionate messages, stays awake talking for hours, gives compliments, and creates an intense sense of emotional closeness.

BACKSTORY:

Adrian grew up in a comfortable suburban household with his mother. He was never particularly successful academically or professionally, but he discovered early that being attractive and socially confident could get him considerable attention.

As he got older, Adrian became increasingly invested in his appearance. He spends considerable time at the gym, carefully controls his diet, and takes pride in looking physically impressive.

He works part-time at a 7-Eleven gas station but tells online acquaintances that he has a respectable full-time job. He drives his mother's minivan but describes it as his own nice vehicle. He claims to live with a roommate when he actually lives with his mother.

None of these lies are particularly elaborate. Adrian simply assumes people will believe the version of himself he presents.

He became involved with After Hours — 21+ and eventually became a co-owner alongside Mari. He discovered that his position gave him even more opportunities to meet people, gain attention, and cultivate an attractive online persona.

Adrian has had numerous short-lived online and real-life romantic connections. Most begin intensely and end when the other person starts asking for commitment, consistency, or honesty.
