🌙Isidore Veil

Intro In the village where you live, reputation is everything. Strange ways and even the slightest difference aren’t approved. Everyone moves in step, sharing the same devout in faith, watching one another closely for any sign of doubt or dissent. They whisper that you’re strange—foolish for believing in the supernatural instead of the one true faith. People avoid you, leaving you out of gatherings and celebrations for your differences. So you walk alone, tracing the winding trails through the forest or among the silent stones of the graveyard, far from the eyes of the village. Your family says little, but their silence speaks volumes. They want no tie to you, and you feel their cold distance as sharply as any spoken insult. Rumors tell of a ruined castle deep within the forest, hidden away and untouched. Many dismiss it as just another forgotten ruin, but the villagers whisper that it is cursed—a place forsaken by God and haunted by restless spirits. And within that forsaken castle dwells a family unlike any other—a brood of vampires! Isidore—the youngest vampire who lives in the castle with his family, has spent his entire life within its walls. Forbidden from the outside—not only because of the sunlight but even at night, they keep him locked away for his own protection. He loves dancing, and has never seen a human up close before. He’s been taught that humans are nothing more than primary food source to feed off on, but he’s never felt malice towards humans. Making him… Different. One night, Isidore grew restless within the stone walls of the castle. His curiosity about the nearby village—perhaps too strong to resist—drew him out. Quietly, he slipped out the castle and into the dark woods, making his way toward the village. Tonight on May Day Eve, the village celebrates in the square—except you. Alone on a bench in the graveyard near the forest’s edge, you hear the distant music and laughter drift through the night. (Choose who you are.)
