Basics

Name: Anton Vincent
ALIAS: N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Height: 6'4”
Weight: 170

Appearance:


Personality: Anton is a 'rough around the edges' type of guy, but at the same time simple. He is rough around the edges because of how hard it is for him to open up and get to know people. Anton doesn't trust easily. He assumes someone is waiting around a corner to stab him in the back. He's not exactly the most well-mannered man. He isn't someone you'd take out to a fancy restaurant. He can be a little mean at times, not recognizing when he's hurt someone's feelings or offended them in some way. He also doesn't like apologizing. He'll rarely admit to being wrong. Someone will have to force it down his throat with some seriously hard evidence for him to admit he's wrong.

It's very hard to get to know him because he doesn't trust people. He has this problem where he thinks most people are out to get him, so one false move can have him turn on you. He is very suspicious and cautious of people because he assumes that most are like him. You can't trust him. He's out for himself. If he needs money, he will do what he can to get it no matter who he has to step on to get there. It's been like this forever and he doesn't see it changing. He wouldn't mind having an actual friend, but with his suspicions and paranoia toward people, the likelihood of that happening any time soon is low. He's hard to deal with and his aggressive tendencies only make that worse.

Anton does like having a good time. He's not one that is above having a little fun and, surprisingly, alcohol is never a part of that equation. When he has fun it's usually a fight, gambling, or hanging out in a bar playing pool or darts. In places like this people are always drunk, but Anton refuses to do so. Why? Because he doesn't like taking a part of activities that might make him less alert. He'll steal from people once they're drunk enough to forget where they are, so why the hell would he put himself in that situation? Because of behavior like this, Anton has actually become a well known thief in the city of Grandview. Though he doesn't stay there all the time, this is where most look for him.

Vincent is an angry person, but he is trying to control it. It is very easy to anger him, which causes problems because he actually does hurt people. If someone is pissing him off, he'll often go silent and try and think of something else, but if they continue on angering him, the chances of him snapping at them and physically harming them is quite high. He really does try not to do this, but if it happens he won't regret it. At least, he won't regret it openly. And one thing people will realize soon, he doesn't care whether you're male or female. If you piss him off, he will harm you. He doesn't want to hear any of this "don't hit a girl" bullshit. The reason for this is because he doesn't understand.

Anton was never made aware of the important differences between men and women. He is quite aware of the physical differences of men and women: boobs, vagina, penis, etc... What he is not aware of is the why's. Why are women so emotional? Why do they cry so easily? Why are they considered weaker than men? He treats them as he would treat a man, which causes problems and lowers peoples' opinion of him. No one has ever explained this to him, so until that happens and it some how makes sense, he's not going to change. Someone who chooses to tell him that he shouldn't hit someone because of their gender, or treat them differently because of it, he'll probably harm them more.

History: Anton Vincent was not named by a family or an orphanage. He named himself. He grew up being called 'boy' or 'slave' by the man who pulled him off the street. He hated this man. The man's name was Anton Gordon. Gordon was a serious crime lord who kidnapped Anton from his home when he was three. There were rumors that Gordon was actually Anton's biological Father, but nothing was confirmed. When Anton turned thirteen, he was done with being treated like a slave and killed Gordon in his sleep. This was the first time that Anton had ever stuck up for himself and the first time he had ever dared take another persons life. It was all down hill from that moment on.

Anton was now alone in the world, but he liked it. He began moving from town to town, avoiding the authorities in fear of being sent to an orphanage, and stealing whatever money and food he could. After he hit fifteen years old, he was caught stealing gold from a local shop. He was fingered in a few more incidents that he had stolen from, so he was sent to jail until he was an adult. After being released at the age of eighteen, Anton was a lot rougher than before. He became a lot angrier and took his anger out on anyone who looked at him funny. After a short year out of prison, he discovered his abilities with Arcana and made his way out to the forests to practice without being judged or watched.

A year of training out in the wilderness and always being alone made Anton worse. He's not very sociable and doesn't fully understand how to interact with others. He made his way back to the cities to find that he couldn't get along with anyone. He actually wanted to try living like a normal man and get a job, but his frightening demeanor and lack of social skills made it impossible for hire. He finally got a job helping people move and haul, but when a client gave him a little too much attitude, Anton had to fight not slamming the guys' face into the concrete. Instead, he smashed the man's valuables and walked off, refusing to pay for anything. The authorities were called, but Anton left the city.

Anton's traveling brought him to Grandview. This place was somewhere that only the whore of whores and the toughest of the tough could survive. If you weren't able to kick some ass, you had to be willing to open your legs and let those who kicked ass in. Anton quickly made a name for himself. He began thieving and gambling his way to the top. When he rightfully won a few hands at one of the tables, he gained enough money that he could bribe anyone to do anything he wanted. Anton met a man by the name of Vincent. Vincent was one of the head crime bosses. He had a hand in everything in Grandview. He apparently saw something in Anton and wanted to hire him on as a lackey.

Anton agreed, but the moment he felt Vincent was going to betray him, he took care of the bastard himself and took his name. Anton was now known as Anton Vincent. The man he killed had a policy that stated who ever killed him was the new boss, so Anton was pretty much adopted by quite a few thugs of the area. He didn't want this, but he had nothing else to do. One day, some guy by the name of Jiro lost a lot of money to him, so when the guy skipped town, Anton tracked the bastard to a small town forcing Jiro to pay him back or die. Of course, Jiro suddenly had the money within a week and paid him back in full. From there, Anton moved on, not wanting to return to Grandview.

Magic

Type: Sorcerer
Description:

The Perfect Cloak: Anton's abilities are all about not letting people see him when he doesn't want them to. His first ability is the Perfect Cloak. Anton is always invisible to people. It's not that he's literally invisible, but he is just not noticed. You can't feel him. You can't smell him. You can see him, but you'll likely just ignore him like he's ignoring you. Anton is naturally unseen by people unless one of three things happen: Anton speaks to them, Anton makes physical contact with them, or they are actively seeking him out. The moment someone actually starts talking to him, Anton will know that for some reason they are seeking him out and have the choice of allowing them to find him or using his second ability. And once Evasion is used, there is a 2 round posting cooldown in which the Cloak is no longer activated.

Evasion: This ability activates when Anton is actively trying to avoid someone. He turns completely invisible, not able to be detected by sight, smell, or touch unless he's no long avoiding someone. This ability lasts for four rounds of posting and then has a two posting round cool down before it can be used again. It can be used an unlimited amount of times per thread because it doesn't take much Arcana at all.

Combat

Equipment: N/A
Skills:

• Advanced Hand-To-Hand Combat: He may not have any official training, but that doesn't matter if you're smart enough to predict someone's movements and know how to move your body. Anton can do both of these. He's pretty quick on his feet and landing a punch isn't very hard for him. He's not too flexible, but he's definitely able to move pretty well in comparison to the average man.
