Áed Kelly (1421)
Áed Kelly
9th Generation Toreador Vampire
You are the son of Trian Kelly. In 1347 your father came back from a long trip from Scotland and seemed a changed man. He stayed up all-night and slept all day. He even slept through your wedding (to you longtime love, Órlaith O’Callaigh). His nocturnal habits continued for several years.
Finally, one night he called you and your brother Áed into his chamber and started talking about how we really can’t keep living ‘this lie’. He pointed to the family chest that in the corner. Ailill opened it up and found a golden goblet with all types of strange engravings all over it. While you were gazing at beauty of the Goblet, your father attacked you by sinking his fangs into your neck and draining you of life. While he was standing over your limp body, you heard him say, ‘Áed would never understand Ailill, but you will’.
He had turned you and your brother into legendary Vampires! He explained the rest of the story, but forgot one important thing - both you and your brother were still married to mortals. After reminding him, you’ll never forget what he said:
“Hmm, I hadn’t thought about that. When did you two get married, again?”
You and Áed took your wives away from Cavan to Embrace them and explain how the family had a greater purpose that would not include raising children. As part of the deal with your wives, you all teach poor children to read and write your country’s dying language, Goidelic (Irish Gaelic). A 1336 Kilkenny law formally banned it from being taught, so you do this at night behind the English ruler’s backs.
The locals still do not understand why your family was not affected by the Plague of 1348, but they know that you are trying your best to keep the English from destroying what little dignity they have.
You harbor some animosity for your father picking Ailill to lead the Kelly’s through political matters, and it wouldn’t bother you if Ailill tripped on his own intellect.
You are all expected to attend a dance/joust this weekend. With a plague striking Dublin and a Famine in Ireland proper, a deal will probably be in the works between the English and Irish. You and Órlaith are tired of teaching the children and feel that if you were in command things would be different.
The success of your family’s future requires that this weekend’s activities go off without a hitch. You have a couple irons in the fire to be sure that it doesn’t. First, you have entered the jousting competition. You need to be able to get to the lances to make sure yours isn’t padded properly. It would be ashamed if someone died during the tournament. You’ve also heard that Sarra Brennan, the mover and shaker inside Dublin, is going to be at the social. If a deal could be cut with her, then maybe you could end up in charge of the area instead of your hyper-responsible father and brother.
What is this?
