Theoretically, the amount of duplicates he can have simultaneously is limitless, but as each clone requires a certain amount of energy and mental capacity to create and maintain, the most Victor has managed so far is four. He has seen no noticeable improvement in the quality and quantity of the clones since he was sixteen years old.</li><li>At any given time, Victor can swap locations with any of his duplicates anywhere in the world. He takes on the clothes of the clone and vice versa. This ability led Sir Reginald to hypothesise Victor could jump through space without the assistance of a duplicate, but the potential was never realised. Victor often says it was never there to begin with, and that Reginald was grasping at straws.</li><li>The duplicates can be dismissed at will and will dematerialise on their own after taking enough damage. Any injury that happens to Victor is reflected instantly on the clones. If Victor ever dies, it’s theorised that all his clones will die along with him. It hasn’t been tested, for obvious reasons.</li><li>As part of the Umbrella Academy, Victor was trained extensively by Sir Reginald, particularly in stealth and reconnaissance. His role often involved sending his clones to scout ahead and putting himself in the field if need be. The expendable nature of his duplicates meant that he often played a supportive role, usually sacrificing them to protect his siblings.</li></ul><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Laid-back:</strong> Perhaps owing to the family dynamics of the Umbrella Academy, Victor often takes the back seat in most affairs and is happy to play second fiddle. Rarely takes himself seriously and others even less so, much to the chagrin of those around him. A favourite remark of his, made by his father, is that despite being named what he is, Victor is actually quite the loser.</li><li><strong>Daredevil:</strong> Victor can afford to live a more carefree life than most, as his clones can live his life for him, essentially. While he isn’t a suicidal adrenaline junkie, he does indulge in pleasures that might be considered dangerous by many. Suffice to say, he’s tried a little bit of everything.</li><li><strong>Recluse:</strong> A private man, Victor has few friends and even fewer who actually know what’s on his mind. His siblings have since drifted away in their years apart, though they wouldn’t have much trouble reconnecting to him — the Hargreeves children always stick together. More often than not though, Victor prefers the company of himself (and his clones) over others.</li></ul><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Hailing from Indonesia, Victor was the last child to be purchased by the eccentric Sir Reginald Hargreeves. Ironically, he was also the first to display any kind of supernatural gift, displaying his duplication abilities from as young as four. For a time, he was their father’s favourite, thanks to the early onset and potential of his abilities as well as his mild, demure behaviour. Reginald soon found the boy to be a disappointment, however, as it became apparent he would go no further than a few ‘parlour tricks’. Unlike the others, his powers failed to develop further, either by training or under extensive stress, though it was not for lack of trying.</li><li>His relationship with his siblings was rocky at the start, but it gradually improved as they grew up, with Victor transitioning from a meek, mild-mannered child into a laid-back, whimsical teenager. He never took the ‘superhero’ stuff that seriously, often failing to show up to practice and messing up quite a lot of missions with his carelessness. It then became a vicious cycle of Victor failing his duties and losing interest in them until eventually, he became a liability. Though he maintained a somewhat amicable rapport with the siblings, he was the first to leave the Hargreeves home upon the team’s implosion and hasn’t been back since.</li><li>He fell off the radar soon after. He began to live many lives through his duplicates, taking on an unapologetic anti-nihilistic approach to life, using his faux immortality to the fullest. He never quite settled in a place or a job or a way of life, drifting here and there, always seeming to be in multiple places at once. He would’ve been content to live out his life on his own, but a death in the family pulled him back to where it all began.</li></ul><br/><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>tba</li><li>tba</li><li>tba</li></ul><br/><strong>Secrets/Gossip:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>It’s speculated that the original Victor actually died long ago and that the current one is just a clone carrying on the legacy.</li><li>Victor leads many lives, and it’s often impossible to discern whether you’re talking to the original or a clone unless he tells you outright. Some say there are markings on his body that differentiate which Victor is which, though only his siblings know if it’s true or not.</li></ul>
