Anti-heroic vigilante at night. [color=a187be]Alignment[/color] Chaotic Neutral [color=a187be][h3]Detailed Information[/h3][/color] [color=a187be]Appearance[/color] [hider=Vincent][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/64/f4/1b64f4debec552a10fb4d73b4d46daa4.jpg[/img][/hider] Vincent tries to wear bulkier clothes like coats whenever possible, making it easier to hide his mutation. One of his most defining features is his mutation. A five foot long flexible tail with a spiked tip (pictured [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/93/Ridley_Super_Smash_Bros_Ultimate.png/220px-Ridley_Super_Smash_Bros_Ultimate.png]here[/url]) which protrudes from right above his waist that Vincent has complete control of. Usually he keeps the tail wrapped around his body to keep it hidden. And if you look close enough you can see the nails on his hands are quite sharp, almost like claws. [color=a187be]Personality[/color] If you asked for Vincent’s personality almost 10 years ago you would’ve been told about a rambunctious child with no filter. Prone to violent outbursts on the occasion but only because he was so emotional, so loud, so involved in the world. Things changed however after a horrible event. Vincent became far more reserved, quiet. But underneath all that he still hides all those emotions underneath and it killed him that he couldn’t let that out. After he met his best friend though things started to change. Now he has become a man who is quick to anger but only because all he sees is injustice, a man who would not hesitate to jump in and help people. Of course despite his good nature Vincent is not quick to trust people in most circumstances. [color=a187be]Origin[/color] Vincent has lived in the ‘glamorous’ Azure City for his entire life, though he never saw it as anything all that special. After a few years of seeing all the flashy tourist attractions you see them as nothing more than that, tourist attractions. Vincent grew up with his parents and was always a troublesome and quick tempered child, and of course a spiked tail that developed close to around the age of ten didn’t help his parents in dealing with his outbursts. Eventually he learned to control himself a bit better but was still prone to the occasional violent outburst. Still though, Vincent idolized the heroes of the city as he grew up and dreamed of becoming one himself. When he was 13 Vincent was tragically a victim of the mutant trafficking that was prevalent in the criminal underbelly of Azure City. Locked up and treated like an animal, like an attraction of some sort. At one point he even saw the hero who he idolized most. Vincent thought he was saved! But no, that hero was actually corrupt. Awful. And that was the first time his mutation was used to draw blood. It took 5 years before Vincent was finally rescued from that hell hole. Eventually, Vincent reintegrated himself back in society. He got a simple job, started living his own life, but he had certainly changed. And he lost his faith in the ‘heroes’ who were supposed to protect them. But overall… life was going well. He even met his best friend who encouraged and assisted him in finding his dream again. Together they worked and he became a vigilante who got information and tracked down villains and corrupted heroes alike. Blood was drawn and some deaths occurred in regard to the extremely dangerous ones. Though to be fair, the world is better off without them. [color=a187be]Notable Relations[/color] Lyon Forston- Vincent’s best friend who works tech support for a security company. He also works as support for Vincent on any of his outings while tracking down his targets specifically with avoiding or erasing security footage to help keep his identity hidden. Lyon is a kind and supportive friend and a major tech nerd who has helped Vincent through a lot. [color=a187be]Resources[/color] Vincent could be better off but he has enough to pay rent and feed himself so he’s fine. [color=a187be]Everyday Skills[/color] Stealth is a must with his night life. Speed and running are some of his specialties. [color=a187be][h3]Combat[/h3][/color] [color=a187be]Fighting Style[/color] In Vincent’s mind, mutations aren’t everything. Sure his mutation helps him in combat but he tries not to rely on it if he can help it and instead use it strategically or in tandem with other forms of combat. Though most of his fighting experience and style comes from fighting on the streets, he has a habit of pissing off some unsavory people. Though when it comes to fighting involving his mutation it’s usually quick jabs with the spiked tip of his tail either from over head or from around the sides, usually mixed in with other attacks. The flexibility of the tail also provides advantages in grappling opponents. This is of course should he engage in direct combat at all. Normally he stays hidden in the shadows and strikes enemies unaware. This is what earned him the name Apex, because he hunts like a predatory animal. [color=a187be]Strengths[/color] What Vincent lacks in pure strength he makes up for in speed and agility, dodging attacks and dishing out his own is the best strategy his is. [color=a187be]Weaknesses[/color] There are several weaknesses to exploit with Vincent, first being his nature as a whole. He is still very animalistic sometimes and in a fight he gets very focused and very angry. This can be extremely devastating especially in fights with more than one opponent. Teamwork is also not a strong suit of his. [color=a187be]Equipment[/color] N/A [color=a187be][h3]Power[/h3][/color] [color=a187be]Strengths[/color] Vincent’s power gives him the sharpened tail that he uses as a weapon as well as strengthened and sharpened the nails on his fingers to work like claws. The tail has multiple uses either as an effective stabbing weapon or grappling on to people or objects. And has surprising strength and can easily support the rest of his body for hanging from objects or dragging other people. And with five feet in length it gives him an advantage in range. [color=a187be]Weaknesses/Limitations[/color] Of course there’s only so much the tail can do before it relies on him to use it effectively. And while it is a great strength it can also be a great weakness as it gives the enemy more areas for their attacks to hit and where the tail meets his body is a sensitive spot and a weak point. [color=a187be][h3]Extra[/h3][/color] Inspiration for this character’s powers is Ridley from the Metroid series and the hunting style was somewhat inspired by the Xenomorph from Alien.
