Elias Farrell

HEADCANONS

• Created as one of the first vampires born to the witch commanders, Elias has been known by many names and survived countless wars. Siring other vampires was once a frivolous hobby born out of boredom and desire to see more, unbridled bloodlust around him. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to call him careless, an inattentive sire, some might even say cruel and reckless. Not all fledglings were left to fend for themselves, but most were and the ones he kept close were his favourites, those he felt had the most potential.

• He see’s the other species as business opportunities and as a means of entertainment to keep his eternal life from becoming intolerable. This goes for his relationships, it is very rare that he lets anyone close to him beyond sexual relations and instead see’s people as a temporary way of passing the time.

• He is very flippant about danger and what the state of Calamity may or may not become in the future. He has survived too long and has become arrogant in his immortality.

• The Dearg Due meaning “Red Thirst” is another hobby of his. The violence the hotel attracts is amusement, the downtrodden and desperate more so, but the gambling den is where his real interest lies. Not only because it’s brings him copious amounts of Kochba, but because anything and everything passes through its doors in the way of trade. If you need something, you need to gamble your way to it. That’s not to say that all the players will play fair. In fact, Elias encourages foul play in his den.

• If vulnerability is still a notion Elias can understand, it may fall within the arms of the witch commanders that had once sired him and his originally brothers and sisters.

THE DEARG DUE. Hotel/Gambling Den. Darklands.

The Dearg Due meaning “Red Thirst.” A very old, expansive building that looks derelict on the outside, somehow remains standing and inside, you will find a grungy looking hotel. The opulence that once was is clearly visible but withered. It is rumoured to be incredibly haunted from years of war and the deaths that have occurred within its walls. It’s known to have played home to various notorious criminals of generations gone by. It still remains infamous for its history to this day and despite its appearance, its doors are open to all species, but your safety cannot be guaranteed. But the main pull to this hotel is that it operates as an underground gambling ring that brings in a huge amount of Kochba and supernatural trade.

The Dearg Due. A building that had survived for many centuries, known to play host to the most notorious of criminals and bloodthirsty creatures, looking for a place to stay. But the hotel and its slowly crumbling facade was more than what it appeared on the outside. The decaying opulence that ran through its over seventy rooms, was only the beginning. Led through the old servants quarters and beneath old floorboards, it gave way to grandeur, an underground gambling den, where Kochba was only one of many currencies. At The Dearg Due, you could gamble your way to anything you wanted, if you had the means. You just had to be willing to put your life on the line. The games were… unfair, unregulated, violence encouraged. But if you wanted something, anything, you could likely find it there.

The ancient vampire sat close by to one of the roulette tables. It usually tended to have the most dramatic of endings and kept the old creature somewhat entertained. His hands were stained with the blood of his latest victim that had been left casually strewn across the sofa beside him— unfortunately no longer alive— and he only lifted his eyes from the smoke of his cigarette when someone addressed him.

“What is it?” He asked, his voice dry with boredom.
