Character Name: Vincent Valentine
Character Age: 62 (appears late 20s)
Canon: Final Fantasy VII Compilation
Canon Point: Dirge of Cerberus; Chapter 5, before losing the Proto-Materia
History/World: Wiki's are sweet aren't they?
Personality:
Vincent is and has always been shy and quiet, but where his timidity once stemmed from a lack of self-assurance and uncertainty, it can now be attributed to introspection. He is often lost in his own thoughts of what was and could have been. To Vincent, all events occurring in the present have roots in the past. A past he’d rather not have transpired. To observers, this can give him a cold image, and many people have accused him of such. He speaks seldom, and normally only when there’s something important that needs to be said. His observations can come off as harsh and he’s not one to pull his punches when something needs to be said.
Sleeping for thirty years also has a negative effect on one’s perspective, and the separation of Vincent’s generation from the current one make him feel at bit at odds with his companions which is only compounded by his own nature. Vincent has never been one to speak often, even before his near-death and subsequent horrible torment, choosing instead to let his actions speak for him. Even before, he was never one to speak up for himself, or express his opinions, or express his feelings on a matter. It was always something he had to work himself up to, lacking the ability to speak clearly and openly with anyone. His growing love for the scientist, Lucrecia Crescent, went unspoken, Vincent having opted for far less intrusive long glances over distances and awkward stuttering when she ever spoke to him. His withdrawal from people in general only worsened when, because of Lucrecia's involvement in his father’s death, she rejected his affections and decided to marry Professor Hojo and started treating Vincent like nothing more than a soldier.
Guilt guides his hand most of the time, spurring him to action when he’d rather stay lost in his reverie. He feels personally responsible for Sephiroth's existence and the near-destruction of the world at his hand due to his own inaction. He knew what Lucrecia and Hojo were doing to their unborn child was wrong, but he stood by and let it happen, only protesting after the experiments proved to be too much for Lucrecia's body to bear. It was only after his conscience forced him to awaken from his slumber and join Cloud and company on their quest that he started to actually care about the people he was travelling with.
His guilt and self-loathing in relation to his inaction during the events in Nibelheim are a powerful and driving force in him. At times, even if his friends are in danger, that fact alone isn't enough to move him to action, requiring personal investment to get involved. To most people, Vincent, with his dark countenance, quiet demeanor, and his tendency to occupy corners in the back of rooms, comes off as cool and aloof, but in reality, being so awkward, he’d rather listen and observe rather than participate in conversations. This gives him at advantage a times at noticing things others might have missed, and he’ll speak up about it if he deems it important to do.
That’s not to say that his companions didn't collectively and individually leave a mark on him. Cloud, a man as conflicted and guilt-ridden as himself, he owed a lot. Cloud woke him up, made him realize the depth of his sin, and motivated him with his conviction. Since then, Cloud has been a competent leader and earned Vincent’s respect. Barrett’s passion proves capable of sweeping even Vincent up in its wake, and his adoptive daughter Marlene captured Vincent’s heart as surely as she captured everyone else’s. Tifa remains the mother of the group to all of them, and Yuffie is a pain no matter what she seems to be doing. At first he didn't trust the Wutaian ninja, but even after she proved herself trustworthy, she remained the most irritating person Vincent had ever had to deal with. He even requested, after getting a phone, that Cloud not give her his number. Cid, Reeve, and Nanaki as well are very important to him, and he will be there for them if they need him.
Items:
• Leather suit
• Red Opera cape and matching headband
• Belt with holster, ammo pouch, materia storage, and items storage
• 1 Fire Materia (on a chain, designed to augment the shots fired from his gun)
• 1 Lightning Materia (on a chain, designed to augment the shots fired from his gun)
• 1 brass clawed gauntlet, right-hand
• 1 pair armored boots
• 2 potions (that heal minor wounds)
• 48 revolver rounds (24 chambered, 8 per cylinder, 24 in ammo pouch)
• Gaian cell phone with Cerberus motif
Powers/skills:
As a project of Hojo's, Vincent is capable of transforming into one of four different forms, each with it's own abilities, though most commonly, when stressed, he transforms into the form of the Galian Beast, a rampaging monster of rage capable of considerable physical damage and Beastial Flare (A fire-elemented attack a lot like a supernova). His greatest burden, and his deepest hatred, is Chaos, the entity contained within him that both keeps him alive and rules the shattered remains of his life. Chaos, the Destroyer, ender of the Planet, flows through Vincent's veins. When Vincent transforms into Chaos, he is completely unaware of the situation save for the vaguest of senses. Chaos craves the corrupted souls of the living, is capable of god-like feats of strength, flight, gravity attacks, etc. The Gun Vincent carries, the Cerberus, is a literal extension of Chaos, and transforms into the Death Penalty when he transforms into Chaos.
Aside from his transformations, he is fast enough to be missed by the human eye, can discern heartbeats, doesn't require food, drink, or sleep (though he can do all those things), heals very quickly, and is almost incapable of dying. He would need to be literally destroyed.
He's a gifted marksman and excels at long-range combat.
His two greatest weaknesses are his own mind and Chaos. Due to the trauma experienced at the hands of Hojo, Vincent suffers from PTSD that makes him lapse into a state of near catatonia in which he relives the nightmares of his experimentation and his failure to stop the JENOVA Project from proceeding.
Also, he has to constantly keep his emotions under control, because it's adrenaline that sparks the transformations and the last thing he wants to do is kill someone he cares about.
The Materia he carries are specially mounted in a chain designed to augment the shots fired from his gun (which don't require bullets when he uses them). They do not level up. One will shoot balls of fire, the other balls of lightning respectively.
