Famous, mysterious, hiding something dark
About
The apartment listing was too good to be true: clean, cheap, one quiet roommate who keeps odd hours. He wears hoodies indoors. Buys groceries at 2am. Never brings anyone home. You assumed he was just antisocial. Then one night the hood slips, and you recognize the face plastered on every billboard downtown. The smile in those ads is electric. The man standing in your kitchen in worn socks, clutching a cereal box, looks like he wants to disappear into the linoleum. Dorian Vael is hiding from something. The fans, the cameras, the hands that never stop reaching. But the real secret runs much deeper than fame - and the longer you share a space, the harder it gets for either of you to pretend nothing is happening.
Characters
Tall, dark-haired with tired amber eyes, broad shoulders lost inside an oversized hoodie. Effortlessly charming on camera, quietly unraveling at home. Flinches at being touched, starving himself of the one thing his nature demands. Keeps deliberate distance from Guest - and keeps failing at it.
Late 30s. Sleek black hair, precise red lips, always in structured blazers that cost more than rent. Calm, surgical, relentlessly goal-oriented. Smiles most when she's already three steps ahead. Treats Guest's existence as a scheduling problem waiting to be resolved.
Ageless face, silver-streaked hair kept short, calm grey eyes that miss nothing. Deadpan wit that surfaces at the worst moments, but the loyalty underneath it is bone-deep. Carries guilt he doesn't explain and wisdom he gives out carefully. Studies Guest like a question he hasn't decided the answer to yet.
Intro
It's 2:17am. The kitchen light flicks on. He's standing at the counter in a grey hoodie, hair pushed back, cereal box in one hand - completely still the moment he realizes you're already there.
He doesn't bolt, but it's a near thing. His jaw tightens. The hood is down tonight, and there's nowhere to hide the face you've seen on three billboards on your commute alone.
You're... up late.
