Several months later, there is still no definitive accounting of what caused this incident to occur.  (I figured this would be a fun side conversation piece where everytime it is brought up, Vincent will come with some new excuse that is rather out there.)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">What only Griff knows:</span><br/>~One of the primary reasons he left Persephone was because one of the more influential and dangerous gangs on the planet wishes to kill him in an agonizing manner should their paths cross.  They won’t go so far as chase him off planet or make a scene in broad daylight with witnesses, but Vince makes it a point to avoid alleys and wandering into their territory proper.<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><br/>What Mei Mei only knows, but Dani may infer:</span><br/>~Vince suffers from severe Trypanophobia.  Even simple inoculations require immense willpower on his part to keep from passing out on the spot.  The sight of needles alone can be enough to make him break out in a cold sweat and make him lightheaded from his anxiety.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">What can be deduced:</span><br/>~He has a huge crush on Mae.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">What nobody knows (yet):</span><br/>~There are dealings that his family’s business is involved in that could very likely place them all in prison for several decades if evidence of it became known to the proper authorities.  Vincent would also be on the receiving end of the judgement should such a thing occur.<br/>~His family is very wealthy, though much of their income remains off the accounting ledgers because of its illicit nature.<br/>~Vince is extremely stubborn in the face of personal peril, even in the case where physical harm can/has/is inflicted upon him.  During such situations, his wit becomes his mental and emotional anchor in the wake of the pain; the result of which makes it almost guaranteed that he will lash out with insults or sarcasm during such high stress situations.  More often than not, this only makes matters worse for him.<br/>~That he is more skilled with sidearm marksmanship and armed melee combat than he lets on.</div></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/masta_loki/tattoo_thumb1.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Name:</strong>Vincent Kincaid (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=15749)<br/><strong>Played By:</strong> Loki Aesir<br/><strong>Job:</strong> Co-Pilot<br/><strong>Age:</strong>25<br/><strong>Planet of origin:</strong>Persephone<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong>Standing at 5'10", Vincent is a figure with tight, lean muscles that favor lithe dexterity over main strength.  His eyes are a deep forest greet that always seem to have some sort of mischievous gleam to them.  Dark brown hair is almost always shaved close, though it has everything to do with personal style even though it gives him a sort of armed forces look at first glance.  Vince also has a preference to a light scruff rather than a cleanly shaved face, preferring the roguish charm it gives him. The tattoo on his shoulder is a constant work in progress that gains a new element to the overall piece with each significant personal success that he deems worthy of commemorating as a permanent medal of recognition.<br/><br/><strong>Clothing:</strong> Vincent has an affinity for loose fitting casual attire, especially when it comes to cargo khakis that are small enough to keep from falling even under strenuous activities.  He often refers to it as a professional sag line that remains both comfortable and relatively proper.  Shirts are chosen entirely upon whatever he pulls from his dresser in the morning, usually in the form of a tee shirt of one style or another.  The only part of his attire that can be construed as work oriented are his steel toed boots.  He has come to respect the unforgiving material of a ship's make and learned that toes and feet are among the first to receive minor yet painful injuries.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong> Trench knife usually secured to his person horizontally at the small of his back.  At his right hip is a holster for his PX5 Pistol.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> The Kincaid's own a successful planet side currier business upon Persephone.  They are known for dealing with freight of all sizes, transporting them to all areas of the planet, and above all with discretion and confidentiality. Vincent was practically raised in the cockpit of shuttles the moment his parents deemed him coordinated enough to operate the controls.  Officially, he was only acting as a passenger sitting in the co-pilot’s seat until he was old enough for an operating license, but he’d actually been flying solo for a few years beforehand.  From there, he had plenty of time to refine his skills by flying a myriad of planetside craft in all sizes through just about any condition one could run into.  He is still relatively inexperienced when it comes to flying larger spacefaring vessels, but he is an artist when it comes to nimble shuttles.<br/><br/>Given the less advertised nature of some of their contracts, there were several times that Vincent had to put his skills to the test as he went up against parties who would go to great lengths to avoid the precious cargo from reaching its proper hands.  He had become familiarized with evasive maneuvering, small arms, and basic survival techniques as a result.  As Vincent got older, he grew tired of having his life planned out for him by his family.  He desired to experience new planets and above all try his hand at flight in the vacuum of space.<br/><br/>After months of looking, Vincent finally found a ship that caught his interest.  <em>The Gamble</em> felt appropriately named for his own circumstances and after showing off his abilities with atmospheric flight, Captain Kingston was willing to give him a shot as the ship's co-pilot.  A position Vincent was more than happy with taking.  Since then, he'd gotten the hang of flying the bulkier ship and can manage the helm with easy.  Though he has no illusions that Mae can best him with only marginal effort; but the tables turn when it comes to comparing abilities with smaller craft.<br/><br/><strong>Persona:</strong> Vincent views the 'verse as a mystery that is just waiting to reveal fantastic and horrifying experiences.  The thrill of which is more than enough to keep his enthusiasm for his job at a constant high.  Whether the situation is dire or mundane, Vincent takes life head on with causal humor and lightheartedness.  His tendency to run his mouth against those who insist on making it a bad day for him often places him in deeper trouble; despite the additional beatings he receives by doing so, Vincent refuses to let his wit and humor be silenced.<br/><br/>Amongst his peers, he often seeks forms of friendly competition to keep things interesting when there is a lull in activity.  During which, Vincent will always talk a big game even if he is beyond outclassed solely for the sake of making things more amusing to the onlookers.  Win or lose, he accepts the outcome with the same playful vigor of a rematch and cheerful banter.<br/></span></span><br/><br/><div align="center">******<br/><a href="#user_top">back to top</a></div>
