Player

Name: xan
Contact: vaulkner or DM
Time Zone: US Eastern (currently EDT)
About Me: Usual 9-5'er here, but fitting in RP again between redoing parts of my house (hobby), dnd, and playing vidya games (have you heard of the award winning MMORPG FFXIV...) I backtag forever basically, not afraid of topleveling, and OCs/cross-canon/etc are all 100% in my books.

Character

Character Name: Vincent Valentine
Canon: FFVII (Compilation of)
Canon Point: post-AC/end of AC
Age: ~58
Season: Summer
Flower: Spider Lily

About My Character: Mans has gone through some shit! The TL;DR is he fell for someone who didn't really love him back, got involved with some Science Bullshit, got kilt, and then saved (dubious) by the same person who didn't return his affection. He's been punishing himself for perceived guilt/sins for about 30 years now. In a coffin. Oh yeah, he is absolutely that dramatic.

Under all the guilt and brooding, he's very kind-hearted and once you have his loyalty, you basically have it forever.

And side note: he can transform into some interesting beasties (4 of them). It just happens sometimes.

CR I'm Looking For: Anything! He has just arrived and is very lost. But also, have a special love for characters who will bother him until he comes out of his shell like a very shy snail.
Plots I'm Looking For: Right now, mostly getting him accustomed to this place and meeting some people 8)

Handwaving: He can be found stalking around the neighborhood(s), probably keeping to fire escapes and the rooftops if anyone wants to spot him and call him (rightfully) a weirdo. But he'll also be wearing his trademark red cloak and black leather, which probably sticks out. So feel free to tell him to stop imitating Dracula's fashion while he's standing in the grocery aisle.

Recent Links: N/A eventually there will be something here

Other: I've pulled him specifically from the OG compilation of FFVII but adding a couple of characteristics they sprinkled in for FFVII:Rebirth. But again, timeline wise and how everything plays out, sticking to the OG (yes this means even eventually Dirge, cries) as the remake isn't complete yet.

Hey sir, hey~

How would you feel about Rapunzel catching Vincent hanging out on the fire escape and offering fresh baked goods?

[shotgunsalute]

she absolutely should because the idea that he's sitting on a fire escape stairwell and suddenly a window opens to have a plate of cookies thrust at him is so hysterical. it's like a pie thief but in reverse

[worthit]

Right? Just suddenly an arm comes out and deposits a plate of fresh chocolate chip.

Followed by a glass of milk.

They can make it a regular thing. Eventually she just starts leaning out on her window sill to talk to him.

[shotgunsalute]

vincent standing there with a plate of cookies gripped in one claw (accessorized) hand and the other with a glass of milk is taking me TF out

she should chat with him though, even if it's "whatcha dooooin"

[worthit]

It's a VERY hilarious mental image. I keep busting into laughter every time I try to actually envision it.

Yes. All of it yes. And she totally would. Just make small talk with him. The treats will also escalate from generic chocolate chip cookies to other things as she kind of tries to experiment and learn his preferences. Which ones does he clean the plate for if any?? Tart things, sweet things, bitter things, or savory things?

She'll ask if he's allergic to nuts to be on the safe side.

[shotgunsalute]

staaahhhppp rapunzel that's so cute, she's going to win him over so rapidly and end up with some weird brooding guardian ???

i dont think he has any food allergies but that is very kind of her to ask

[worthit]

augh THAT'S SO GOOD. YES PLEASE! WEIRD BROODING GUARDIANS ARE THE BEST.

Do you want to handwave those first interactions or play any of it out? I'm game for whichever you prefer.

[shotgunsalute]

RIGHT!! you get me.....you do...

and gimme a bit, im gonna slap an intro thread up somewhere and include Hanging Out On Fire Escapes as an option for u

[worthit]

WE'RE HERE. (points at eyes points at your eyes)

Sounds good to me! I'll hit that up before bed tonight.

[skypiercing]

Saw this while writing my own CR comment, and laughed when I saw that handwaving bit. Dan Heng is a rather cautious individual with sharp senses and doesn't sleep well. He would probably eyeball Vincent stalking around fire escapes at night, sorry buddy.

Once he realizes he's mostly just a harmless weirdo he might leave him some tea as acknowledgement though. Alternatively, I'd be happy to offer a thread of them meeting in some similarly comic manner.

[shotgunsalute]

ohoho yes excellent!!! vincent is SO weird and absolutely a "man out of time" in his own right, i would love people to tell him it's creepy and awkward and to go the fuck to bed like a normal person (dan heng does not have to tell him any of these things but go ham if he would)

i would be down for doing some kind of short intro thread for them to meet up this way!

[skypiercing]

He will (probably) not pull his spear out or blast him with water but he will definitely have deadpan cutting remarks because indeed, what the fuck! It's precisely the kind of funny first meeting that makes for fun CR.

And it's okay Vincent you're not the only guy who doesn't look his age here.

[shotgunsalute]

in case it was not obvious, i live for poking fun at my too-serious guy here so FULL agree, the goofy nonsense is what makes for a great intro!

oh dan heng, what a bro. theyre out here shaking hands like "if someone woos us does that mean we're robbing the cradle? are we DILFs now? silver foxes?"

also re: thread: i can plop a starter up somewhere, what general part of the city is dan heng in? just a reg apartment building?

[skypiercing]

Same here honestly, when you've got the stoic types you just gotta poke fun, it's the best! Also lets be honest, Vincent was meant to come off as a bit of a too serious weirdo in the OG.

Dan Heng is probably never going to be a dilf, he's eternally a twink alas. But yes they could probably relate on a fair few things.

I haven't actually decided where exactly Dan Heng is living properly beyond 'probably a spartan shoebox of an apartment somewhere' because he's weird like that. So yeah, just random apartment building works!

[shotgunsalute]

yeah, absolutely. it seems like they leaned into it in his intro for rebirth, so i'm super delighted

they can indeed! turns out living for way long and not really aging can be a bummer

aye aye, do u mind if i add on plurk? i'll ping you when i get this thread up :D

[skypiercing]

Honestly same, I was absolutely thrilled they kept that trait in rebirth. They've done a great job both expanding the characters and keeping them true to heart of the OG.

And already added you!

intro log

[shotgunsalute]

For anyone interested, an intro log, including some of the prompts from the "handwaved" section :D
