Background

Please also read the project overview and audition rules:

Khiaziri is the main male protagonist and a long-term Child of the Veil. Like everyone else, he showed up through a portal, and discovered he had no memories, no identity and zero say in anything. Standard Veil onboarding.

Unlike the others, Khiaziri gets hit with cryptic dejavu type visions. They are brief, confusing and overwhelming. He keeps them to himself, sharing them only with Allinor and Larxene.

When he first arrived, Khiaziri did not exactly thrive under One Mother’s strict regime. Feeling watched and powerless, he pushed back. It did not end well. Combined with the weird visions, the pressure eventually tipped him into paranoia.

One day, convinced his own face was not his own, he took a blade and violently cut it. He collapses and finds himself in Mother’s Mercy instead, where disobedient Children are sent to be reformed. Reform is agonising and unbearable.

The Council chose not to remove his scars, leaving them as a permanent reminder of his defiance. He is still strikingly beautiful, but he hides his scars behind a face covering.

Khiaziri and Allinor's relationship:

Khiaziri is deeply in love with Allinor in the quiet, hopeless way where he pretends, he isn’t. He guards his feelings, because eww emotions – who wants to express those?

Around Allinor, he shifts, softer, warmer, playful, like he remembers what it feels like to be a real person. He finds himself saying things he didn’t plan to say, standing closer than he meant to stand, and losing every ounce of composure he has left.

They have the world’s most painfully will-they-won’t-they dynamic.

Outwardly, he’s the picture of discipline, training as a Scribe and following every rule. Underneath, he is holding onto one dangerous truth: he would burn the Veil and himself to the ground if it meant keeping her safe.

And together with Larxene, the three of them share the same hidden goal: uncover the truth of the Veil… and escape it before it destroys them.
