Adam wanted to avoid trouble, but if his aunt wanted to do something, he wasn't going to stop her from doing it and would go with her, making sure to protect her with his life.
His aunt was a Chinese immigrant and worked hard her entire life, first to get her citizenship, then to provide for Adam. She never had time to relax and enjoy herself and felt as though she had become distanced from her culture.
Adam had a western look in terms of his facial features, but his skin was quite pale and his hair was very dark. Matched with his eyes that had become red after integrating with the system, he looked similar to what one would expect from a vampire, but also made him look quite handsome.
