In the Saurian edition, Victor is a *Velociraptor* ('fast thief' in Latin meaning) around 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length. He is primarily feathered grey, along with assortment of dark blue feathers on his head, neck, arms and tail. In the SPORE gameplay version, Vigilance stands horizontal and dynamic like all dinosaurs, and his body, thighs and feet are protected with blue armor which matches his blue mane. **In the upcoming reboot version, Vigilance's posture will be altered to stand slightly upright, almost like a human, while retaining his size. He will also be possibly equipped with new armor.**

### **Personality**

Victor is portrayed as a very complicated character as an emotionally compromised, psychotic, impulsive, and vengeful young survivor which is caused by the loss of his cousin, Sally Gatherer. The unexpected death served as the catalyst of the main story arc of the Vigilance Chronicles franchise: his focus, fierce determination and will to avenge the loss by ridding the world of the Undead by seeking and destroying the source. Faced with the relentless realities of the harsh new world of the zombie apocalypse, his aggressive nature places him into conflict with the hostile forces that threaten him or the people around him.

Due to the trauma of the death of loved ones and his enemy encounters, he has a quick temper and limited self-control, which in turn causes his recklessness, stubbornness, irrational beliefs, revolving of his past and little concern, and a fear of loss that makes him reluctant to leave others around him. These features lacks the qualities of a real hero, thus considering Victor as an anti-hero. His personal vendettas and hatred on his enemies are very strong due to the threat they impose on him and his kind, and it is incorrigible for him to resist in his promises to show no mercy on them and avenge those whom he lost and protect those around him. Vigilance also has a tendency of targeting and destroying the mouths and necks of his enemies, which are considered to him as the most vulnerable parts of the body.

Despite his oppressive nature, Victor is not always dark and ruthless as he seems when it comes to terms of caring for others whom he bond with and their welfare, especially his family, friends and love interests. Initially a naïve and introverted loner with no concern about anything outside his goal and the obstacles he faces but himself, Victor has grown to be selfless with others since Sally’s death as the years pass, showing his fierce commitment to protect the ones he love. He chooses to care deeply for his family and relatives over others, even at the cost of his life or losing the battles he is involved in and even if the gratitude received is unappreciated.

Victor also proves himself as a dedicated team member when it comes to cooperating with others to achieve the task ahead of them. The reason is due to his traumas and experiences, he has become a slow learner and sometimes his stubbornness and recklessness get in the way, which results in numerous bad calls and decisions. Victor also tends to lose confidence, blaming himself for being unable to do anything to prevent numerous bad events such as his friends' deaths, which he feels responsible for the outcome. This makes him less sociable and more vulnerable, forcing him to seek assistance with people around him to ensure they can get over the obstacles together.

Victor is generally shy with most females and has never really been in a proper romantic relationship with others, instead having awkward crushes. He has not let anyone into his heart for a long time since Sally's passing, but he gradually softens towards those he loves. This tender emotion Victor displays tends to be his most weakness, which enables enemies like the Dreamslayer to exploit his feelings against him. Nevertheless, he struggles to control himself and keep his emotions in check, especially his anger and love for they may unintentionally hurt his family, friends or even himself.

During the time when civilization returns, Victor has become more cynical and disillusioned with the current society due to numerous experiences with his friends. As he matures, he shows his sympathy and understanding with his enemies too - in contrast to his childhood view of black and white - such that despite their ill intent they were manipulated by others just as he was.

### **Weapons and Abilities**

Vigilance has a vast array of weaponry, ranging from his energy swords, to his Shell Cannons. As a *Velociraptor* Saurian, he has a sickle-shaped claw on each second toe and dexterous claws for self-defenses, under circumstances when he is deprived of weaponry.

Trained as a highly advanced but rookie detective when the outbreak in 2007 started, he is capable of stealth. He is fast and agile, but his stamina and athletic skills unfortunately regress as the series progress due to age and the physical and mental scars he has sustained throughout the series.

The list of weaponry includes:

* **Energy Sword**: Vigilance's main weapon is a short sharp bladed sword charged with a strong acidic energy derived from his chemistry labs that can slice through most materials. The sword is overall light in weight, allowing Vigilance to wield it efficiently in combat. In Possession, the energy sword is infused with the Green Power Gem of Death, boosting the sword's cutting effect (on even titanium) and strength. The sword, however is dull and vulnerable when it is rendered inactive and not in use.
* **Dual i4 Shell Cannons**: Serving as Vigilance's primary ranged weapons, the sidearms fire 10 powerful rounds and rapid laser blasts, in each magazine, that could either incapacitate or kill enemies. The material is also a metallic base, which also serves as a melee weapon for punching and stunning when out of ammunition.
* **Green Power Gem of Death**: Upon being introduced to Vigilance in Possession and used by him, the Green Power Gem of Death, one of the crystals with infinite power of otherworldly dimensions, grants corrosive properties in a weapon the crystal is infused with, enabling Vigilance to put the jewel to great use to harm even the toughest hide of his enemies.

## Biography

### **Early Life**

As a child, Victor Edwards used to be very brash, naïve and carefree as he believed the world to bear a usual cheerful and happy lifestyle. When his primary school results do not meet the academic standards, he was forced to be allocated to a low academic high school where he was a victim of bullying.

Later his parents left him at their house to fend for himself and depart to an unknown location (investigating the rise of the zombie outbreak). It was then Victor realized his past errors back in his primary school and decided to change them by scoring as top of his class, whilst training himself to counter-attack his bullies. Impressed by his determination, the school principal sends him to a high-class Engine Batch in the Angel Lancelot School, a well known male's Methodist high school of his district area, whereby he worked as a detective in his co-curriculum activity and adopted the new famed name **Detective Vigilance**.

#### The Beginning of the Outbreak

Victor continued to serve in the Engine Batch as Detective Vigilance for two more years when the 2008 outbreak began. When the death toll of civilian lives in his district increased, Vigilance and the Engine Batch were dispatched to exterminate the Undead forces, with help from the district's own military personnel. Victor had a short-lived victory over the Undead upon learning the devastating news of the death of Sally, who was on an overseas business trip at the Raja District. The tragic loss left her family and relatives grief-stricken, but for Vigilance the pain and guilt he bears for abandoning her was too extreme to tolerate. Consumed with grief and vengeance, Vigilance sworn to avenge her death by killing every single Undead.

One year later, the Undead have outnumbered the population of Terra District, forcing the government to issue a quarantine on the area. Many of the citizens (including Vigilance's surviving relatives and his seven remaining cousins) were evacuated to the other lands, but in the midst of the chaos, Vigilance secretly stays behind to solve the case alone, setting off the events of the Vigilance Chronicles franchise.

## Trivia

* Vigilance's *Velociraptor* design is based on his species counterpart from the 2003 documentary Dinosaur Planet, identified with a sandy grey base with feathers and a dark blue mane for his head.
* Despite being a member of the Raptorclaw family, Vigilance's original name Victor Edwards suggests that he is born from his father's generation. Additionally, all children born in a family mostly have the same surname as their fathers.
	+ The surname Edwards is also originated from Edmund ('edmundpjc'), the mascot avatar himself of Vigilance, only to be slightly altered in favor of the surname.
	+ Edmund's favourite dinosaur is also the *Velociraptor*, the reason of the choice of his dinosaur avatar in the Vigilance Chronicles franchise. Previous favourites also include *Triceratops* (formerly the protagonist of the franchise), *Apatosaurus*, *Diplodocus* and *Barosaurus*.
* Vigilance's personalities and abilities are inspired from and referred to many of the main characters, whether they are heroes or anti-heroes, we see on television and film. These include most notably:
	+ Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)
	+ Eren Yeager (Attack On Titan)
	+ Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)
	+ Rick Grimes (The Walking Dead)
	+ Logan / Wolverine (Marvel's X-Men)
	+ Bruce Wayne / Batman (The Dark Knight Trilogy)
	+ Samurai Jack
	+ John Wick
	+ Harry Potter
	+ Optimus Prime (Transformers film series and Prime franchise)

* Of all the weapons he was armed with, his favourite was his iconic energy sword, a homage to the lightsabers in the Star Wars franchise.
* Vigilance has a mole on his right index finger, a distinctive feature since birth.
* Vigilance bears several scars throughout the franchise, due to the various conflicts he have been through.
