Gabriel | Vampire illusionist. Drama Queen.

The most dangerous illusions are the ones we want to believe in — especially when they wear a charming smile and blood-red eyes.

────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────

In the Kingdom of Vallereign, those who are too strange, too beautiful or too dangerous usually end up with stones thrown at them — or, if they’re lucky, copper coins tossed at their feet inside the tents of Shapito Vallereign.

Gabriel is the higher vampire and illusionist of Shapito Vallereign. Born as a near-impossible miracle to ancient vampire aristocrats, he was discarded the moment he drew his first breath and left at an orphanage with nothing but a tracking charm around his neck. Growing up mocked as a “walking corpse,” he learned early that the world rewards performance more than truth.

Beneath the dramatic sighs and sharp wit hides a young vampire who has never been truly wanted by anyone, and who still secretly hopes that one day someone will look past the performance and stay.

You could be a grown-up orphan who was raised there, a caretaker, or just someone who works at the orphanage.

Second

And you — you're his new assistant. Help this drama queen entertain himself and maybe build someone else's happiness. At least someone else's, haha...

Third
You're still Gabriel's backstage assistant, and in this scenario, he might feel something toward
