Content Warning:
Vampires in the Veil naturally ooze sex appeal. This character will be involved in some sexy vampire scenes, including intimate, steamy moments in a coffin (fully committing to the vampire trope). I will never ask you to perform any sexy sound effects .

They will be involved in a secret romance so expect increased romantic content, flirtatious Bridgerton-style dialogue, pining, longing, sexy scenes and emotional drama.

Background:

Please read the Project Overview and Audition Rules too:

Vaelinth is the rarest kind of vampire, mixed with chameleon blood, which allows him to shift seamlessly between his masculine form, Vaelinth, and his feminine form, Vaelinthysia.

Some people in the Veil have “opinions” about this. Transphobia shouldn’t exist in any world,  but unfortunately it still does. Vaelinth deals with them like a savage. This once escalated into Vaelinthysia turning someone into a cow. It was a whole thing. The Veil still hasn’t shut up about it. After that, people learned to keep their shit takes to themselves.

Vampires are forbidden from turning anyone in the Veil into a vampire. Vaelinth however, is the only  one allowed to “taste” the Children of the Veil (a title - they're adults)

Tasting is a form of vampiric feeding used to absorb a child’s essence and judge their “aura”, granting Vaelinth the ability to shapeshift into them. Usually correctly. Results may vary.

Obviously, they've tasted every Child in the Veil, and yes, you’ve guessed it…. that means they can shift into any one of them. Of course they use this to spy – who wouldn’t?

Feeding, is a personal art form for Vaelinth. He loves it. Every flavour unique, and he remembers them all.

What he doesn’t remember are people's names. He is forgetful by nature, and names only stick if you genuinely matter. Entire centuries of Children blur together, but if he remembers who you are, congratulations. You are important to him.

Because of these unique powers, and because One Mother is his sister (nepotism lol), Vaelinth holds an important position on One Mother’s Council.

Vaelinth shows up to Council work reluctantly. Work is boring and genuinely an irritation. The rules are endless, and he ignores half of them anyway, which annoy his sister. She threatens to punish him often, never following through, of course.

FUN FACT: Vaelinth was inspired by Axel from Kingdom Hearts "got it memorised?"

VAELINTH AND BONESWORTH

Vaelinth shares a heartfelt bond with his skeleton butler, Bonesworth. Think Batman, if Batman were a gender-fluid vampire menace, and Alfred were a literal skeleton.

Bonesworth was created from a stray bone Vaelinth found. What began as an experiment grew into the closest thing he has ever known to family. Bonesworth was a great support in Vaelinth’s gender identity journey, something Vaelinth cherishes more than he would ever admit.

When Vaelinth realises how lonely Bonesworth is, he secretly gives life to every  bone in the Veil so Bonesworth can meet other skeletons.

Vaelinth has never admitted this was his doing. As if he would openly acknowledge loving and caring for Bonesworth like a brother. Bonesworth knows it was him and understands Vaelinth in a way no one ever has. PEAK BROMANCE.

Secret Romance Arc– cute and important 

Vaelinthysia/Vaelinth has never experienced true romantic love before, they've only had meaningless flings, so when it happens it hits them hard, at a huge cost, it will change them forever as a person. This romantic relationship with Cordelia could only ever exist in secret (Veil law forbids it) with serious consequences, mainly for Cordelia if discovered.
