History

Vincent was born among a tribe of druids, rangers and other woodland friendly folk. The son of Natalie, his celestial mother, and Sven, his human father. Vincent was told his mother died shortly after giving birth to him, he placed tulips on her grave every year for his birthday. His father, the tribe's shaman, did his best to raise the child on his own. Enforcing strict rules and expectations, Vincent's early years were lived in an environment that demanded maturity and left no room for a normal childhood. He was sent out from the tribe at the age of twelve as a part of his coming of age. His purpose is now all but forgotten to him as the first encounter with the world outside his tribe was in the town of Silesia.

A city so corrupt and full of crime is was not uncommon for the law keepers to be paid off twice by the same crook in one day. A sheltered and barely clothed Vincent was picked up, literally off the street by a small gang of roughians who mistook his tribal tattoos as a mark of his status within this world of crime. Soon learning the truth of the young boy the gang took him under their wing, showing him the ins and outs of their way of life. Theft, lies, smuggling, and brawling all soon became his daily past times, as well as the luxurious rewards such a life offers. Drinking and gambling remain two of his most enjoyed activities, though not when mixed. Vincent was far from being a perfect criminal, having spent just as much time in prison as out. As he grew older he grew wiser about the crimes he committed to survive, in addition to ruthless. A fair number of men were killed by his hands for only the change in their pockets.

A bad string of luck struck Vincent one day as he was having a drink in his usual tavern in the afternoon. A fellow patron chose to have words with him for no more reason that to insult him over his silver hair. Vincent, not being the sort to let such a thing slide, quickly exchanged insults and rebukes back at the man. The argument remained heated for some time but did not come to blows until the man called his mother an angel whore. Those who witnessed the fight, if it could be called one, attest that Vincent did not stop striking the man until his own arm was limp. Leaving the man drowning in a pool of his own blood Vincent turned back to the bar, finished his cheap whiskey, paid his tab, and departed without a word as the other patrons observed in silence. He greeted the law men he expected would be waiting for him outside with a saluting wave and twisted grin, unconcerned about the time in prison he knew he'd serve. To his surprise the men did not arrest him but instead drew swords, informing him that the man whose blood still stained his clothes was none other than the guard captain's son. Quickly understanding the guards intentions Vincent stormed back into the crowded bar and made his escape through a concealed passage and out a back door. Knowing the town was no longer safe for him Vincent stowed away on a ship departing to sea, a ship which did not complete it's intended voyage.

Behaviors/Mannerisms

• A naturally jovial person. Vincent is rarely seen without a grin and often gives off a carefree aura.
• Quips and snarky remarks take up the majority of his conversations.
• A bad habit of rubbing folks the wrong way just for fun.
• In a group he makes a point of including himself in any dialogs, whether it pertains to him or not. Even known to carry on two or more conversations at a time.
• Even under pressure and danger Vincent makes the effort to keep a positive attitude. Making light of a bad turn of events or refusing to falter under a horrible fate that has befallen him. Though this annoys most of his friends he continues believing "It's better to jest deal with what's next than fret over whatever the hell it is that just happened."
• Though during first impressions appearing to lack compassion Vincent indeed cares deeply for those he considers friends. He understands there are times when it is appropriate to be serious and if spoken to in private reveals a very understanding side, even wise on occasion.
• A very emotional person, quick to show his temper towards those who earn the privilege.
• Though still considered arrogant he keeps his ego in check. Only the occasional slip and keeping to his roots of responding to compliments with, "Mieh, it's a talent." as though it were nothing.

Features

• The marks of an Aasimar are blatent upon Vincent. His silver hair especially stands him out in a crowd and his ice blue eyes contain flakes of gold that shimmer, when he manages to keep them open at least.
• At 5'11" 167lbs Vincent is a very lean figure. Toned muscle on his long limbs give him a scrappy look.
• He cares about his appearance and his rarely seen without product in his hair, which he jokes is tree sap, or his vast array of facial piercings. His favorite of which are the trio of studs over his right eye and a double labret in his lower lip.

Companions

Kira

• A gorgeous gray female wolf who has seen fit to adopt Vincent.
• She is the one who dragged him from the sea when he washed upon Nuvar.
• The two care very much for one another, Vincent never treating her like a pet and allowing her to roam and wander away from him as she pleases.
• Often the voice of reason between the two, keeping Vincent from taking overly foolish actions.
• Early during their bonding period Vincent lost in a fight against a pack of savage wolves. Kira abandoned Vincent to follow with this stronger pack until the time came when he returned not as himself but as a proud wolf and challenged the Alpha. Victorious, Kira returned to Vincent's side, supporting him unquestioningly ever since.

Tattoos

Vincent is a walking canvas given the ever increasing number of tattoos that adorn his body:

• Across his upper back are a pair of black wings, given to him by his gang in Silesia to recognize his heritage as well as his dark nature at the time.
• Under his left shoulder blade in Druidic is his father's name, Aout
• Under his right shoulder blade in Celestial is his mother's name, Cayahiel
• His right shin bears Druidic runes unique to his tribe
• His left shin bears the design of a woven branch, starting at three points at the ankle climbing in a vertical spiral and joining just below his knee on the left side. A single tulip at the top.
• Covering his right pectoral are a set of small red drake wings, outlined by a larger set of white drake wings. Symbolizing his caring and protection over Elric
• Spanning across his left side, just below his heart is a falcon, the symbol of Avani
• His collar bones have been inked to resemble the horns of a minotaur.

Fighting

• Started off learning to fight with nothing more than his fists, teeth, and furniture.
• Lacks the discipline of a seasoned fighter having now taken up a scimitar and shield. Talented enough to land a good strike now and then.
• Aggressive in his attacks and often the first to jump into the fray.
• Attacks appear to find their mark more often than they should, an observer would note he has either natural talent with the blade, or unnatural luck.

Religion

A follower of the Goddess Avani
