Yep, we've been over it before. But while I see your point, it would
require me to make some changes to his personality that I'm not comfortable
doing.

It's 2059, right? And I just figured out how to bring AJ back. He got
sucked into something rather abruptly. Now, on to figuring out what's been
happening with the other characters.

To not fear him would require one of 2 things - having actually known him
as a human, or having had close contact over extended periods of time, like
Slash and Roxey. And even they stay a ways away from him when he's either
a) hungry, b) really pissed off, or c) he's on blood replacements.
