Personal history
John Polidori was born a human on March 11th, 2018. As a child, he experienced a lot of emotional pain from trying to fit in with human society as an AFAB person who wasn't comfortable in that gender role or his body. As well as having chronic pain caused by hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS.) Due to the hypermobility caused by EDS, he got injured as a child frequently. The experiences of chronic pain as a child and the fear of death due to these conditions left him with medical trauma, causing the development of other specified dissociative disorders 1b. (OSDD-1b)
Entering his mid-teens, John realized two vital aspects of his identity. First, he's a trans man, so he changed his name from his birthname to John. The second was that he was part of an OSDD-1b system. He discovered he was one of five alters, which he struggled to accept, but he adjusted to these new identities over time.
As John became a young adult, he began to study medicine. He became fascinated with vampirism and how it affects and could potentially ease or cure illnesses. It came with a steep price, once one became a vampire, there was no going back, but it could help a lot of people if he knew how to control it. John's chronic illnesses became progressively worse as he aged, so he decided to test this idea and become a vampire to see if it could ease his pain.
John arrived in Fayarce, explained his case, and he was brought to Zeus, the vampire guards leaving the decision on if he should be turned to Zeus. The vampire royal showed John mercy, turning the young doctor into a vampire. His chronic illnesses didn't go away altogether, but his symptoms did ease. He still has bad days where his chronic illness flares up, but his illnesses have been more controlled since becoming a vampire.
