[b]Personality:[/b]
Vincent is a curious soul to the very depths of his personality, with a precise and painstakingly careful attitude. He is what you would comfortable term as a perfectionist who desires to know the truth, having the ambition and desire to get the results that he wants even if it pushes him out into his discomfort. He has little patience for playing around the bush, preferring to be blunt with his observations and get directly to the point. Despite his direct nature is earnest at heart with he says along with being objective as well that rarely betrays what his beliefs are. With a calm and controlled disposition, he has a carefree attitude around him that seems to go with the flow that has a touch of an adventurous spirit. Making him a strangely companionable person if what you desire is realism.

[b]Skills:[/b]
A person born in a first-rate magus family, he is severely lacking in many of the skills that make a functioning person of today with only several areas that he can handle in day to day situations that come about. He is very interested in the arts such as seen from his culinary skills that reveal him to be a wonderful cook that has come from years of experience in the kitchen and some time dedicated to studying it. He also is decent is various other creative arts such as painting and drawings along with general arts and craft to make small trinkets or decorations. Outside of that, his other mundane talents are pretty ordinary as he possesses above-average constitution and body that comes from the time that he spends outside, with him being proficient in traversing natural terrain. More than capable enough to do hobbies he likes like soccer, swimming, dance, and hiking to name a few that he dabbles in as a hobbyist. 

[b]Abilities:[/b]
A calm and collected person, his control over his magecraft is impeccable with his two attuned affinities towards fire and wind magecraft that is evidence of his skill as a first-rate magus. The blood that runs through him comes from a family of magi that run several generations that have passed down that gives Vincent quality magic circuits and a sufficiently abundant amount within his body that provide enough energy to get what needs to be done and a little more.

As the next figurehead of the lineage that his family has backing him, he has inherited all of their teachings which allowed his fine and deft control as his main focus. At the most basic level of his skill, the control over his flame magecraft is astonishing to the point that he can create definite shapes that can represent images. With extensive knowledge about this kind of magecraft, he can be said to reach a high level of mastery that would be suitable to a person like him coming from the Smoaks family despite not showing it. His wind magecraft while not as advanced, is the other side of his focus that is adept enough to be considered a threat even solely using it. With eerily acute control, the fine manipulation of the air above simple blasts of air or flight can be achieved by him and can be expanded to other uses.

In more advanced areas, he specializes in explosions which is surprising as given when attacking, he opens a thin pathway to his target by concentrating the density of oxygen to a volatile point to create chain explosions. With his main right hand used for more dexterous application of his mageraft with scary accuracy while the other is used for violent applications, he shows surprising skill in using two elements at the same time. While he dislikes the uncontrolled use of his explosive magecraft, if brute force is needed to accomplish something that fine control can't, then it doesn't bother him to do so. What he lacks in versatility, he specializes in the destructive potential of his magecraft that he is comfortable in saying that could handle any foe. 

He, however, takes it to an even higher level when combining the two elements into something much more. Using fire and wind magecraft together, he is able to create a strong burst of electricity by superheating gas with his magecraft. His control over this combination of magecraft is rough but highly potent in its purely destructive capabilities that unleash highly concentrated energy. The higher amount of energy he's trying to control the less controllable the action he is trying to do becomes as it becomes more imprecise but higher destructive potential.

[b]Brief Backstory:[/b]
Vincent Smoaks is heir to the family fortune of the family magus known as Smoaks, focusing on a slightly more modern type of magecraft known as 'explosive magecraft' which heavily involved gun powder back in the old days. A family originating from the Americas as they took on the new wave of ideas that developed in the country with the passing ideologies and technology that influenced them. With their knowledge being developed and passed down through the family where they could actualize it without the assistance of material ingredients. Known as the 'Illuminated Prince' in the Clock Tower where his peers and teachers remarked his resourcefulness and creativity that shined brightly. 

Despite being the next head of the family, his position is taken with a slight grain of salt as his time so far has not shown his full potential as a magus with much debate about the role that he has. With the displays of his abilities that have been heard or seen has been his shows which have a niche following of magus who actually are humans who like entertainment from his flashy shows. His fire magecraft is most commonly the one on display in his shows, with the creativity that he brought forth in his shows baffling the people that were his fans. Many people wondered what the inheritor of the Smoaks family's crest would be capable of doing if his skills were put to their proper use as a serious combatant. 

Still, rumors and talk behind his back didn't bother Vincent as he continued the way he always has done things with his nonchalant attitude. However, when rumors reached his ears about something going down in the small town of Redrock his interest was piqued about what was going on. With his ears in many different circles, it wasn't hard for him to heard the news about the brewing event that was begining to develop. An event known as the war for the "Holy Grail"...
