Vecto

**Vecto** is a scythe-wielding outcast leaf insect and one of the first characters created in the RP, introduced on the 19th of December, 4 days after the creation of the RP.

## Appearance

Vecto is a tall (10'5"/320 cm) leaf insect with four arms. His green "cloak" is a part of his body and helps him blend in with plants and foliage, which is a survival strategy his species developed over millions of years. The "cloak's" edges have turned orange because of Vecto's age, which is 36 years old. His dark-blue scarf is a proper piece of clothing, though. Vecto's head has 6 horns in total: 2 big ones on the top and 4 smaller ones inbetween the big ones and on the sides of his head. Vecto's weapon of choice is a scythe, although he also carries 2 nails around.

## Origin

### Early Life

Born in the hidden village of leaf insects in Greenpath with his sister Kira, Vecto lived there until he was six, however, they were cast out because leaf insects weren't prone to using weapons, however, Vecto and Kira wanted to train and become warriors, protectors of their kind. So the village decided to throw the young children out into the wilderness to live on their own.

### Exile

For 12 years, Vecto and his sister were exiled, learning all essential things they needed for survival themselves, including combat. They even built a house on the outskirts of Greenpath. The infection had already been spreading throughout Hallownest at that time, and Vecto fell victim to it. While scavenging for food, he might not have gotten infected but he was under the effect of the plague. He came back to Kira with clouded eyes and a nail. Vecto murdered his own sister at the age of 19 and, upon coming to his senses and realising what he had done, Vecto buried Kira and left, travelling around Hallownest and trying to redeem himself for what he had done, which is a goal he has yet to achieve.

## Storyline

### The Refuge

In his travels, Vecto stumbled across The Refuge in its earliest stages and since then he'd participated in most major events, including a war with The Husks and Starfall. He's a part of the refuge to this day.

### Sulpha'ere

When Vecto was 29, he stumbled across a long abandoned temple to an ancient God of Decay, Sulpha'ere. While exploring the temple, he stumbled upon a room with a statue in the middle, in which Sulpha'ere's lingering spirit was trapped. Sulpha granted Vecto the remnants of his power, making Vecto his "apostle" and allowing him to use decay and acid magic.

Sulpha'ere wants Vecto to take over Greenpath and start a following that worships Sulpha. Although Vecto doesn't want to, he doesn't get a choice since Sulpha'ere can kill him or leave him in extreme pain if he doesn't obey the orders.

## Personality

Vecto is lazy, talkative and not the most clever person around. He's irresponsible and bad at planning. He's the exact opposite of what a leader should be. He isn't really like that, though. The death of Kira - the only person he really knew and the only one who mattered to him - made Vecto rethink his entire existence and realise that he didn't really have anything to fight for anymore. Without a goal in life, Vecto turned lazy and decided that if nothing matters, there was no point to try and change anything, so he became lazy and careless, most of the time he either sleeps or roams around Hallownest looking for... anything, really. If something important arises, however, something that gives Vecto a goal, a reason for why there is still something to fight for, the facade falls off, revealing a much more serious, sharp-minded and competent Vecto. He could have probably ruled a kingdom if he cared to try.

## Abilities

Due to his connection to Sulpha'ere, Vecto is able to use a variety of attacks related to acid and decay, from creating acid orbs and acid pillars to making his opponents wither away as a finishing blow of sorts. Vecto is good at using different kinds of weapons, being especially adept with his nails and scythe. His fighting style is focused on keeping his enemy at a distance using his magic and weapons while dodging or blocking incoming attacks.
