II. APPEARANCE
Height: 6'2''
Weight: 175 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
General Appearance: His black eyes, messy black hair, and tattoos, are the defining features of this mage, features that, mixed with his lean build, more or less make up Vincent's overall appearance. The twenty-something year old gives off a certain air of confidence and authority. his eyes, hued a black color, seem to shine with intelligence and hold a piercing gaze that effectively hides most of the man's emotions.
As far as clothing goes, he can usually be seen sporting a hat, no shirt, black cargo shorts, and black boots as well. However, Vincent will change up what he wears depending on the occasion. For example, there have been instances where he would wear some formal attire, like a suit and tie.
Extra: None.
III. PERSONALITY
Personality: Calm and collected should be the first two things that come to mind when thinking of Vincent. In most situations, he's very able to keep a calm head, to assess the situation and think of ways through it with little difficulty. Some could even go so far as to call him cool, though it is completely opinionated and it just so happens that not everyone would share that same thought.
Unfortunately, he isn't always suave. In fact, the only situations that he could really be considered as such would be when he's on the job, simply because he takes that rather seriously. In most other situations, Vincent is adventurous, albeit slightly impulsive. He's also something of a flirt, and he's unsure of whether the impulsiveness helps or hurts in those situations. He can also be a very comedic at times if he feels the situation is too serious.
Another thing to note would be that he takes pleasure in knowledge, and it isn't unusual for him to bring along a spare book or two when he goes out. He is also terrible at keeping secrets and has a slight fear of snakes.

Motivations: Vincent wants to become as strong as he can so he will be able to protect others, mainly his fellow guild mates.
Fears:
- Death - Probably everyone's main fear, if not, then almost everyone's. Vincent hates this idea because he doesn't know what to expect on the other side.
- Letting down his guild - He takes pride in his guild and wants to help them to the best of his ability in whatever tasks they have.
Positive Traits:
- Enhanced Strength (+3): Your character is slightly stronger than other characters when it comes to physical strength.
- Fortitude (+3): You are tougher than normal. You can take more hits than the regular Joe.
- Swift (+3): You are fleet of foot. When running, you move three times your normal speed.
- Regeneration (+4): You heal very fast inside and outside of combat. Small cuts that go up to one inch deep are healed in the next post.
Total: +13
Negative Traits:
- Compulsive Honesty (-2): You cannot tell a lie, nor can you behave in a deceitful fashion. You tend to be blunt rather than tactful, even if it means insulting someone who you and your companions are trying to impress.
- Curiosity (-1): You're a naturally curious person and you find mysteries of any sort irresistible. In most circumstances, alas, your curiosity overrides your common sense. This forces you to investigate something unusual, even if it looks like it might be dangerous.
- Daredevil (-2): You only really feel alive when you're staring death in the face. Your character is addicted to the thrill of death-defying stunts, pushing themselves to the limit at every available opportunity.
- Extravagant (-2): You enjoy living in the lap of luxury. Ale is never good enough if you can get fine wine instead. You aren't happy with anything less than the finest room in the inn. In addition, any equipment or services you purchase cost 10% more than the standard rate for the locale you are currently in. The best of the best always costs more, after all.
- Greedy (-1): Money makes your eyes light up with joy. The more, the merrier, as long as it spends. Once in a while, whenever you're divvying up shares of the loot, being offered a hefty bribe, or catching wind of some fabulous treasure, the flaw can to convince you to grab for as much money as possible.
- Hedonistic (-1): You love a good time. You party too much, drink too much, and eat too much. You have trouble resisting an invitation to join someone in a drink and sometimes shirk your duty if offered a more enjoyable time elsewhere. Whenever a good time is presented you let your guard down. You're also not capable to resist seduction of any sort. It's just not in your nature to resist such opportunities.
Explanation: You always give in w - Intolerance (-1): You have an irrational dislike of a certain thing. It may be an animal, a class of person, a situation, or just about anything at all. Note that some dislikes may be too trivial or ridiculous to count--a dislike of Bavarian-crème-filled donuts or mechanical pencils, for example, has no real dramatic value and will not be allowed.
- Judgmental (-1): You form opinions quickly and change them very slowly. You also have a tendency to judge people on their appearance. A man dressed as a pirate, no matter how gentlemanly, is a scoundrel and a dog as far as you is concerned. A man covered in mud is a peasant, and a woman wearing revealing clothing is a prostitute.
- Overconfident (-1): Nothing is beyond your capabilities. If you wanted, you could defeat the best swordsman in the world; you just haven't had any reason to do so yet. And surely that chasm isn't too wide for you to leap across.
- Reckless (-1): You lack the emotion of fear. Unfortunately, it is often an important cue that keeps men from doing foolhardy things. Sure, you don't flinch at the sight of even the most hideous monster, but neither do you feel the need to run away when outclassed.
Total: -13
IV. MAGIC
Magic: Flame God Slayer
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Flame God Slayer Magic incorporates the element of fire into the user's body, allowing them to produce black flames from any part of their body, which are mostly used as a means for offense.
Strengths: The user is able to consume external sources of fire in order to replenish their strength and rid themselves of fatigue, thereby making them immune to fire-based attacks of the same rank, much like a Fire Dragon Slayer. However, a Flame God Slayer is able to eat the flames produced by a Fire Dragon Slayer, with the reverse being normally impossible for said Dragon Slayer, except if they are a higher rank. In addition, it is also strong against wind and ice magic.
Weaknesses: Being a God Slayer magic, the user cannot eat their own "God-like" element and can only eat regular fire, from mages or a Fire Dragon Slayer. Also, since it is fire magic, it has a weakness to water magic.
V. HISTORY
History: Born into a wealthy family, Vincent Creed was groomed to appear perfect to the public eye. He never questioned his parents as he grew up, being the only child, he was spoiled rotten, sometimes causing his parents more trouble than he was worth. For awhile, he enjoyed the endless gifts his parents brought him, but after awhile it got boring having everything being handed to him on a gold platter. His relationship with his parents was neutral, going back and forth between loving them, and being annoyed with them. In all honesty he was just rebelling, because after he grew a bit more he settled down, but he still misbehaved.
However, he learned to respect the business his parents were in. Both of Vincent's parents were known to be gamblers; very expensive gamblers. But, they mostly had Lady Luck on their side as they made double or even triple of their bets. His father was the head of a casino, bringing in customers from all over and testing their luck in his establishment. Besides seeing how his family ran the business, he learned to appreciate the life he was given in, that he was blessed to be able to be born into a high social ranking family. He knew that, but deep down, it conflicted him the most. Sometimes it caused him more questions than answers, on why he should be grateful. The young man never noticed he had much to learn from the world and continued on to learn more about his family business.
As he got older he started to rebel even more and not want to appear “perfect” anymore. Thus, Vincent moved out of his parents home and sort of adopted the independent lifestyle. He moved into a small home located in Balsam. There he enjoyed living how he wanted to and not having to deal with his parents. Vincent frequently visited the many bars on the streets of Balsam, drinking to his hearts content. Besides that, he also joined the guild know as Sabretooth. Although the guilds location is unknown, the apparent guild building has been shown. It appears to be located in a rocky area, with some mountains sitting not far from it. The building is identified by a large banner, covered in lines and sporting light edges which bears the guild's symbol, held up by an horizontal staff secured via a chain to a metal ring The Flame God Slayer finds himself there more often than not nowadays, helping his fellow guild mates whenever they call for his aid.
