Basic Info| Name: | Vincent |

BioIt's a bit far, but it's closer than heaven.
♥Next up is Vincent.
Here we go!
Vincent, Vincent
He's such a good boy, it's true.
He walks old ladies across the street.
But he's selfish and so willful, too.♥
Character's Name: Vincent
Series/Fandom: Silent Hill
Original/Alternate: Original
Age: Unknown, appears to be in his twenties, but could be anywhere for 18 to 30.
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Vincent is around 5'11" and fairly thin, although he is more muscular than he appears at first glance. He dresses extremely conservatively for someone of his age, usually wearing a white button up shirt with a brown vest over it, and brown trousers. He wears glasses with no frames, although his eyesight isn't particularly terrible and he is only slightly nearsighted. He has light brown hair that is always slightly messed up, giving him permanent bed-head. His eyes are extremely green, but his right eye has a mind of it's own, often drifting off in a separate direction. Consequently, he only tends to focus his left eye, giving him a sleepy and somewhat shady look on his face.
Personality: Vincent isn't very talkative with strangers, but once he gets to know someone, even only talking to them for a few minutes, he is almost impossible to shut up. Vincent is naturally flirtatious with all women, regardless of whether he is actually attracted to them or not. Despite his garrulousness, Vincent is hesitant to divulge any information about himself, going so far as to outright lie if confronted with a question he feels uncomfortable answering. Not much is known about his past, but he constantly alludes to having had some traumatic experiences. After getting to know people closely, and learning their secrets but never telling any of his own, Vincent tends to grow bored and move on from them. He has no permanent friends, but makes friends exceedingly easy.
People often speculate whether or not he has some intimate knowledge of psychology that makes it easier for him to manipulate people's emotions, but he has been extremely quiet on this point, admitting only that he has studied psychology briefly, but found it pretentious.
If confronted with an aggressive person, Vincent plays the subordinate role, pretending to give into the will of the overly aggressive person while secretly following his own desires. He finds it exhilarating to participate in subterfuge and sabotage, rather than speaking up about his beliefs or desires.
Skills and Abilities: Vincent is extremely good at manipulating people's emotions, and making them feel sorry for him, even if they really have no reason to be. He is also gifted at sneaking around and not being noticed, blending into the background when he feels like he should remain quiet. In terms of combat, Vincent does not go on the offense as a fighter. He will defend himself fiercely, and wait for the appropriate moment to strike. His talent is certainly in defense rather than offense, making him extremely skilled at holding his own against anyone.
Personal Belongings: Vincent really has very few personal belongings, except a few battered old books that he reads religiously, and a ceremonial dagger that he always keeps with him.
Duelist Weapon: Vincent uses his ceremonial dagger when he fights, knowing that it is not meant to be used that way but also knowing that he has exceptional skill in fighting with small knives. He would fight with a more effective dagger if he had one, but he doesn't, and the ceremonial dagger has sentimental value to him anyway.
School Uniform: Vincent wears what he always wears. His white shirt, his brown vest, and his brown pants. These clothes are so formal and stuffy that they work well as a school uniform, and he does not want to dress like everyone else.
History: Vincent will never tell anything about his history, because it's just too traumatic for him to recall. Nobody knows much about his childhood, but he was raised in the sleepy town of Silent Hill, growing up with two devoted if slightly over-zealous religiously parents. His father encouraged him to join the church and become a priest from a young age, but Vincent didn't feel the call towards religion. His father insisted, however, and when Vincent was 12 he joined the seminary, learning the religion of the town. Even at this time, the religious ideals were somewhat cult-ish, and Vincent was nervous about practicing in a cult whose morals he did not agree with. However, throughout his years of training, he became increasingly involved in the cult, and started to conform to their beliefs, although he never fully believed in them.
Vincent moved quickly up through the ranks of the church, and at a very young age was made the high priest of the entire religion. This was possible because the religion had a relatively small following (only one town full of people!) and everyone was reluctant to have a high position in the church. Vincent didn't realize that as the high priest, it would fall to him to do human sacrifices, invoke gods that he didn't truly believe in, and generally brainwash the entire community of the town. Vincent was only able to live with himself by stealing money and artifacts from the church, justifying it by saying that the religion was corrupt and wrong, and therefore helping himself out with their finances was just fine. Strangely, nobody noticed the embezzlement, and as Vincent grew more and more wealthy, his power grew until nobody was courageous enough to argue with him, since he practically owned the entire town.
He decided that since he had so much power, and so much money, he was going to semi-retire from the church, although keep his official title of High Priest. He left the church in the hands of Claudia, the high priestess, and secluded himself in an office building that he had renovated to live in, doing what he loved best: studying and reading. As he neglected the church, their zealousness grew, until they began to pursue a woman they believed would birth the new incarnation of God, and attempted to kill her. Vincent believed this to be inherently wrong, and attempted to help her out, but she didn't trust him, knowing that he was still the high priest of the religion.
During a confrontation with Claudia, telling her that the religion was wrong and corrupt, she stabbed him with a ceremonial dagger twice, leaving him for dead on the floor while she battled with the woman who would birth God. Claudia was eventually killed, and Vincent was assumed dead.
He wasn't dead. He took the ceremonial dagger with him as his own weapon, and left town. And that is where his story begins now.
