Name: Vinny
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Description: Scrappy and lean, Vinny regularly has a cut face or ragged knuckles, though the other guy is usually worse off. He usually manages to find bandaids or bandages if they're needed, and these days goes aroudn with his knuckles pretty much permanently wrapped. He's tall for his age, and still skinny, though he's starting to fill out. He's got a pretty much permanent scowl, which combined with his height and reputation sees most trouble off before it starts. He has dark, wavy hair that he hacks back to chin length at regular intervals and tries to keep clean, olive skin, and very light blue eyes with thick brows and lashes. He has pronounced cheekbones and cuts a nice figure, not least because he tries to keep clean and his clothes intact.
Bio: Vinny is a rising star in the thievery rampant in Vrestia. He practically worships the Thecra and will do anything they tell him. He is older, smarter, better at stealing, talking, and keeping quiet, than a lot of the younger kids, and this has put him in good positions over the years to start spitting in the face of Merium and Noema. He runs a lot of stealing jobs, but considers his main job to be looking after the younger kids Thecra have taken in that are near him. He was given an education (to make him more useful), and he's damn good in a fight, and he's proven it time and again when things have turned sour. He's taken plenty of hits to save his 'family' the blow, but after a mission went horribly wrong, Vinny was a thorn in the side for just too long. He was told he could either come to facility, or they'd come back and get rid of the rest of his family. That's ok. Vinny's been trying to see what's going on in there for a while now. His little sister (his real one) was sent in there, and she never made it out again.
Personality: Vinny is smart, focused, and utterly immovable. Point him at a target, and he goes. If he disagrees with you, he will tell you immediately, and chances are he will. He is remarkably insightful, which makes him hard to argue with, and he makes a full impression of you immediately. If you fail to win his respect within seconds of meeting you, you're going to have to work very hard to gain it. He is an angry soul and has no problem raising his voice or throwing the first punch, but he only ever fights to protect his family. He will hurt you with his words anytime, but his fists are reserved for something far more special. Once you get him started though, Vinny goes crazy. Threaten something he loves-especially after his sister vanished-and he will destroy you. He is completely focused, and studied like crazy to master everything Thecra and his handlers threw at him, making sure he sharpened his mind, knowing it was his most potent weapon. He is extremely bitter, cynical, and protective. Once you've made a friend of him, he is loyal for life. Betrayal is the worst thing that could ever happen to him.
Gift: He can make a forcefield. It surrounds his entire body, and he can completely control it, making walls of force, shields, even unstoppable projectiles (once he's had a while to figure it out)
Twist: His forcefield is unbreakable-he can't ever touch anyone.
