Vincent

Vincent Valvano is a 19 year old Joker and self-proclaimed "vagabond" currently traveling the land in an attempt to better himself through learning as much as he can about the world around him, as well as the people in it. Vincent is one of the rare few in the world to possess an "OGene", making him a Joker. Additionally, he is a survivor of the Reiss Orphanage Massacre.
__TOC__
== Personality ==
Vincent is a warmhearted and trusting individual that greatly enjoys the companionship of others. He appreciates the experience and wisdom of the people he meets, and wishes to learn as much as possible to become the best possible version of himself. Because of his eagerness to learn, he travels to as many places as he can, as each town visited brings him new people to meet and new knowledge to absorb. One of the most important things Vincent has gained from another person is his veganism, which he took up after his father's death, due to him being a vegan. While he may sometimes encourage others to try some more vegetable-oriented foods, he makes sure to never come across as if he looks down upon others for not being vegan, due to a previous incident in his travels where he met a group of vegans who believed themselves to be better than other people, simply because of what they ate. Besides his veganism, Vincent also works out everyday to stay healthy, preferring to do so early in the morning. While the combination of the constant exercise and the veganism may lead some to initially see Vincent as some sort of health nut, he simply does these things because he enjoys having a healthy lifestyle, and does not judge others for not maintaining their fitness as much as he does.
== Background ==
=== Early Life ===
Vincent was born in a small house surrounded by a forest in Acedia. His father had previously been a teacher, but decided to abandon his old life and build a house in the woods to become closer to nature. While Vincent's mother had initially supported the decision to move, she soon became frustrated with her new place of residence and told her husband of how she wanted to move back to the city. Despite her repeatedly voicing her complaints to him about wanting to return to their previous home, Vincent's father was steadfast in his decision to stay in the forest, raising tensions in the household between them and causing constant arguments that eventually culminated in a divorce. This all occurred when Vincent was still very young, making him lack any meaningful memories of his mother, save for a scant few. As Vincent grew older, his father worked hard to make sure he had a good childhood, despite the lack of a second parent. He home-schooled Vincent, teaching him as much as he could in both areas of academics and worldliness, often taking him into the woods around them to explore. One of the only things that made Vincent unhappy was the food his father prepared for him. Upon moving to the forest, Vincent's father had became a vegan, resulting him in making only vegan dishes for himself and Vincent to eat. While Vincent often asked his father if he could hunt some animals to make for dinner instead, he refused, explaining that he did not wish to kill any of the nearby animals when they could rely on other things to eat, and that Vincent should respect the lives of animals over his wish to try something new for dinner.
At age 7, during one of their daily forest excursions, while Vincent watched as his father collected fruits, plants, and vegetables to eat for later that day, they were approached by a large, seemingly wild tiger. This shocked both Vincent and his father, who had previously seen no trace of anything such as a tiger living in their area. As the tiger advanced towards Vincent, who couldn't move out of fear, his father sprang into action, using a knife he carried with him to stab at the tiger while it was distracted. The tiger quickly fought back, resulting in a brawl between the two that left Vincent's father bloody and scarred from the tiger's claws. As Vincent's father began to weaken due to the lethal wounds he had received, he knew he had to kill the tiger before it could hurt his son. In the simultaneously most heart-wrenching yet mind-blowingly awesome thing Vincent had ever seen, his father grabbed the tiger and, with the last of his strength, suplexed it so hard into a tree that both the tree and the tiger's head were cracked in half. As his father fell backwards onto the ground after letting the tiger's body go, Vincent quickly ran up to and knelt beside him. He tried to ask his father what he could do to save him, but his father simply told him that there was nothing he could do, and that he was going to die. Crying and confused, Vincent then asked his father why he had killed the tiger when he had previously told him to respect the lives of the animals around him. With his dying words, his father stated that, while he respected the lives of the animals over Vincent's wishes to try something new for dinner, he did not respect them over his own son's life. Telling his son he loved him one last time, Vincent's father passed away.
=== The Reiss Orphanage ===
As he watched his father die in his arms, Vincent was filled with both intense rage and sadness, and began to feel a strange power building up inside of him that he'd never felt before. In his anger, he rushed towards the tiger's body, kicking it over and over again for killing his father. While at first his kicks only slightly bumped the tiger's body, they began to get stronger and stronger as he continued, with the body soon being kicked across the entire forest by Vincent, who had awakened his Stand for the first time without realizing it, having been too distracted by his rage to notice that he had transformed and gained much more strength than he had ever had before. With one last kick, the tiger's body exploded into pieces, showering Vincent with it's blood, who then continued to rampage across the forest, smashing through rocks, trees, and any animals that got in his way as if they were nothing. Upon reaching a clearing with a river, his anger had finally ran out, and he turned back to normal. It was only then, looking back at where he had came from, that Vincent realized what he had done, seeing the path of complete and utter destruction that he had created with his own hands. With no more anger to hold onto, all Vincent could do was cry, falling to the ground and bawling as he felt the sadness of both his own terrible actions and his father's death. A few hours later, he was found by some members of the Reiss Orphanage, who had spotted a small boy sitting between two rocks, soaked in blood and sobbing into his arms. They took him back to the Orphanage, where he lived for 5 years. Although Vincent was not interested in talking very much at first, due to still grieving over his father's death, he soon began to make friends with the other children there as he got to know them better. He was very happy that he was able to be around other kids his age, as friends were something he lacked due to being home-schooled by his father for his entire life, and he was able to form deep friendships with many of his fellow siblings.
=== Post-Reiss Massacre ===
After being separated from his family following his escape from the Reiss Massacre, Vincent was forced to survive on his own, eventually ending up in Avaritia, where he managed to survive for a while by scavenging in trash cans for vegetables and fruits that had gone bad. Although he tried to convince himself to steal food from stores and vendors, he could never actually go through with it, not wanting to become a criminal out of fear of getting caught. However, after not being able to get his hands on any sort of food for two days, he finally managed to go through with such an attempt, being too hungry to worry about the potential consequences. After breaking into a house and being overjoyed to find it filled with a surprisingly large amount of food, he couldn't resist his own urges, eating as much as he could as fast as he could without even leaving the house first. This lapse of judgement resulted in Vincent getting caught by the owner of the house, who was able to walk right up to him without even noticing. Once Vincent realized he had gotten caught in the act, he completely froze, his fear overwhelming him to the point of not being able to run away. To Vincent's shock, the man did not hit him, grab him, or yell at him, but instead simply told him to eat the food on the table, as he was getting the floor dirty.
After Vincent was able to calm down a bit and finish his food, the man introduced himself as Alejandro Abrahante, a veteran chef that had recently started up his own restaurant. After Vincent partially explained his situation to him, changing around the story a bit to avoid suspicion and leaving out any part about him being a Joker, Alejandro was eager to offer Vincent a place in his home, allowing him to stay until he felt like leaving. Vincent felt like he should've been concerned that someone he had met not only 20 minutes earlier after getting caught trying to steal from him was already offering him temporary residence in his own house, but he was so happy about finally having a place to stay that he wholeheartedly accepted. And with that, Vincent had found his new home. For the next few years of his life, Vincent would stay with Alejandro, taking the opportunity while he was away at work to practice his Joker abilities. Upon returning from work, Alejandro would make dinner for the two of them, with Vincent watching the entire time, having become enraptured by the man's superb cooking capability. It was this way that Vincent eventually learned how to cook, later helping out Alejandro with the meals and picking up bits of knowledge over time, at some point becoming quite the skilled cook himself.
After a few years had passed, Vincent finally decided that he needed to leave Alejandro's house. While he had loved the time he had spent there, with it reminding him of the childhood he spent with his father, constantly learning new things about himself and developing his skills, he wanted the opportunity to be able to put these skills and knowledge into practice, with him planning to explore the land to become even more enriched with understanding of both himself and the world around him. Alejandro completely supported this decision, saying that it would be good for Vincent to form new connections with people and places all around the continent, or even the world if he felt so daring. Before he left on his journey, Alejandro taught him one last lesson: boxing. Alejandro's father was a professional boxer, and had taught him how to box when he was young in hopes of him following in his footsteps. Alejandro planned to spend around a year teaching Vincent how to defend himself, wanting to pass every bit of his knowledge onto him before he left, as well as not being completely ready for him to leave just yet. However, Vincent turned out to be quite the exceptional learner, surprising Alejandro by mastering the art of boxing in just a few months. With his final lesson complete, Vincent said goodbye to Alejandro, embarking on his journey of both discovery and self-discovery, but only after promising that he would remember to visit every once in a while.

==Powers and Abilities==
=== Stand ===
Vincent's Stand, Run The Jewels, is unique in that, unlike most Stands, it transforms Vincent's own body to give himself new abilities. When activated, Run The Jewels completely morphs Vincent into a hulking behemoth of a figure, granting him superhuman attributes and the ability to manipulate the force of his own attacks. Because of this Stand's nature as a transformative ability, its stats cannot be measured by the same parameters as other Stands, as it will grow in all departments at the exact same rate as its user does. The only quantifiable stat is that its development potential will always be at the top rank, as long as Vincent continues to be able to grow with his abilities.
=== Abilities ===
* Superhuman Strength: When transformed, Vincent's physical strength receives an incredible boost, granting him immense power that far surpasses even the strongest of normal humans several times over, with him being easily able to destroy an entire building with a single blow.
* Superhuman Speed: While many would believe the massive bulk gained from activating his Stand would slow Vincent down once transformed, the incredible power within his legs allows him to run much faster than he can in his normal state, allowing him to catch opponents that expect him to be a slow, lumbering behemoth off-guard.
* Superhuman Durability: Once activated, Run The Jewels grants Vincent with unbelievable durability, allowing him to simply tank many attacks and rendering weapons such as swords, knives, and guns completely ineffective, as most would either not be able to pierce his skin in the slightest or shatter completely upon making contact with his sturdy body.
* Force Manipulation: The main ability Vincent gains after activating Run The Jewels is the power to manipulate the force of his attacks on anything he strikes. He can use this to completely bypass an opponent's block by redirecting the force of his strike to an unguarded area, as well as control the speed at which the force can travel through objects, allowing him to “stack” multiple blows in the same location and cause all of his blows to affect the target in the exact same area at the exact same time, making it feel as if they had all landed at once. He can also use this ability to make his attacks travel a great distance across the ground, walls, or other solid objects, allowing him to hit ranged opponents with the same amount of force as close ones.
=== Spin ===
The Spin is a state of perfect or near-perfect rotation which produces an energy that can be applied for a multitude of uses. Objects imbued with the Spin have a range of effects on humans, animals, or the environment. However, the energy of the Spin dissipates in the environment, requiring either direct contact or at least closeness to a source of rotational energy to be affected by it. The Spin can be used to enhance the destructive power of projectiles, partially take control of projectiles it is imbued to, harden the user's body, trigger muscle reflexes of those it makes contact with, and more.
Vincent discovered his ability to use the Spin when he was still young, learning how to use it in various ways over time as he practiced to further his skills. Through the hundreds of attempts over the years to practice utilizing this power, he unknowingly discovered the Golden Rectangle, which is the optimal throwing model needed to achieve a perfect spin. Having unconsciously learned to follow the Golden Rectangle when using the Spin, Vincent primarily uses small tops as his weapons, similar to the ones he used to practice with when he was young. These tops are specially made by Vincent himself to be more dense and compact compared to the toy ones he used before, so that they can channel the Spin much more effectively.
=== Gourmet Cells ===
Gourmet Cells are the physical embodiment of savoriness and Appetite Energy, a source of life for countless species and ingredients. The cells grant incredible regenerative power, overwhelming physical enhancements, including extremely increased physical strength, speed, general athleticism, stamina, endurance, and senses, empower the evolution of those who they inhabit, and enhance the flavor of any organism they are apart of. Gourmet Cells can further evolve through the consumption of delicious foods that suit the tastes of an individual's cells, enhancing that person's strength alongside their abilities. Certain individuals can also develop new abilities or resistances as a response to harsh new environments, instantly creating adaptations which allow the user to survive.
* Instinct: Helps Vincent to both avoid attacks in combat and strike an opponent's weak points without knowing where they are, as well as granting him a much greater awareness of his general surroundings.
* Isolation: Through moving a single part of his body at a high speed, Vincent can create afterimages of it to mislead his opponents and throw them off-guard. 
==== Appetite Demon ====
Vincent's Gourmet Cells are host to an ancient Appetite Demon known as the Sprout Demon, which possessed the ability to continuously grow more limbs to achieve endless strength. This Appetite Demon present in his Gourmet Cells has granted Vincent a similar ability, allowing him to grow extra limbs on his body alongside his normal ones. The cost of growing an extra set of limbs is an insanely high amount of calories, protein, calcium, and carbohydrates, meaning that this ability expends a large amount of energy to simply use in the first place, before he can even start fighting with the limbs he has grown. However, once he is done using these arms, they, along with the ingredients required to form them, can be reabsorbed back into his body, as if they were a meal offered up to the Sprout Demon in his cells. 
* Intimidation: Vincent's Intimidation projects forth his Appetite Demon, a humongous devilish being with a seemingly endless amount of limbs, with a fiery blue aura surrounding it that blends the mass of limbs together into a hazy storm of smoke that washes over those around it, striking an immense and overwhelming terror directly into the hearts of all who are enveloped in it, with both the storm and the resulting panic continuing to grow alongside Vincent's determination.
==== Appetite Energy ====
The greatest advantage afforded by Gourmet Cells is the Appetite Energy they manifest internally. Appetite Energy is pure cellular energy generated within Gourmet Cells, brought forth by an immense appetite. Versatile and highly powerful, mighty predators can externalize this energy by drawing out their overwhelming desire to devour prey. The energy can then be used to generate a variety of powerful effects, including offensive, defensive, and supplementary purposes. Vincent has learned to use this energy to create techniques that manifest semi-solid weapons and instruments.
* Left Tong: By forming his hand into a spoon-like position, Vincent can create the image of a giant tong from his Appetite Energy that allows him to scoop up virtually anything, including non-physical elements like fire or smoke. He can also use the tong to block or knock away attacks, or even scoop them at the right moment to redirect them somewhere else.
* Right Tong: By forming his hand into a spoon-like position, but using his index, middle, and ring fingers as claws, Vincent can create the image of a giant tong from his Appetite Energy that, while still possessing some scooping power similar to his Left Tong, is primarily used for piercing and slashing through targets.
* Blender: By forming a layer of Appetite Energy around one of his tops, Vincent can combine the powers of Appetite Energy and the Spin together to create a large launchable bladed projectile, using the enhanced force of the Spin alongside the predatory desire of Appetite Energy to cut through and devour anything in its path. Vincent is able to manipulate the size and power of this technique depending on how much Appetite Energy he puts into it, allowing him to minimize the pure destructive force of the projectile to avoid any unnecessary damage, if he so desires.
