( Character's Name ) : Vincent Valentine ( Character's Age ) : Approximately 60 years (But looks 27) ( Series ) :Final Fantasy VII | Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children | Dirge of Cerberus ( Canon Point ) : Right before he enters Omega near the end of Dirge of Cerberus ( Playability ) :
( History ) : It is unknown where Vincent was born. All roads do suggest however, that he was raised in Midgar by his widowed father, Grimoire Valentine. It can be assumed that he was raised through childhood in a middle to upper class environment and attended school. Sometime later, he joined the elite group "The Turks," then known as ShinRa Electric Power Company's "Department of Administrative Research." During this time, he learned to be a valuable marksman and shows ease and grace in firearm shooting. Little else is known about Vincent in his early years.
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Vincent_Valentine The rest can be found in this handy Wikia :3 ( Personality ) : Vincent is, and has always been, a very quiet man. Shy and introspective, he has a tendency to do a lot of listening and only speaks when he feels it necessary. He is generally very serious in nature, but will on occasion surprise you with a witty remark.
As a Turk, Vincent was seen to be soft spoken, sweet and somewhat naive in nature. Chivalrous and loyal to a fault, he seemed to have a strong sense of justice and right and wrong. A hopeless puppy when it came to romantic situations, he had a difficult time standing up for his desires when Lucrecia, the woman he was in love with, fled from him due to issues revolving around his father's death. He also had trouble pushing hard enough for his beliefs when she shocked him with the news of using herself and her unborn child in an experiment.
After the events that would change his life -- and body -- forever, Vincent adopted a colder, more cynical shell to replace the sweetness he had before. Blaming himself for being unable to stop Lucrecia and , therefore, the outcome of the Jenova Project, he allows himself to drown in guilt. This guilt was a large factor in what drove him to decision to sleep (or allow himself to be put to sleep since it's not well explained) in the basement of the ShinRa Mansion for 30 years. This reveals that Vincent is extraordinarily hard on himself to the point of perfectionism.
Horrified by what he has become, Vincent sees himself as a monster and lets that help create further distance between himself and other people (Most likely out of fear of harming them.) Constantly submerged in his own thoughts and feelings, he tends to swaddle himself in a stoic silence meant to keep others out. Persistence will be needed, if your aim is getting to know him.
Despite the chilly exterior and harsh words that make up his outer mask, Vincent is, to this day, a very compassionate and good person. He will be quick to tell you how much he doesn't care to get involved, but in the end he always comes through. This is especially true in situations involving children, whom he seems to have a soft spot for. Although Vincent commonly chooses to fight alone, he is loyal to those whom he has worked with in the past -- making him likely to assist someone if he is familiar with them.
Vincent is not very materialistic and may never have been. While he seems to carry money enough to buy what he needs, he does not own a house, land or anything noteworthy in the assets department -- he's a wanderer. The most we have so far seen him to indulge in, is a glass of red wine when the feeling strikes him.
Vincent is the classic antihero: The man who avoids situations where people rely on him too much, but winds up saving and upholding from the shadows, asking for no glory or praise in return. (Like batman 8D )
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) : Strengths: Due to the enhancements that were the product of an experiment on his body, Vincent has increased stamina, speed and reflexes over that of a normal person. Aside from that, Vincent is an excellent gunner and is capable of transforming into a large, blue beast ("Galian Beast"), with white mane and horns that can throw fireballs and do massive physical damage. He can only hold this transformation for a limited amount of time.
When under great stress or trauma, it is possible for Vincent to be taken over by a being called "Chaos", who resides within him. During this time, Vincent will remain in control as long as the materia that resides in his chest, the "Protomateria" is not removed. If removed, Vincent will eventually succumb to Chaos and will act violent and turbulent, leading up to murderous rampage. This form grants Vincent the benefit of wings and further feats of speed and strength. It also allows him to use the "Death Penalty", a gun that seems to only appear when he is in this form. This is both a strength and a weakness in my opinion.
With the help of materia, Vincent is able to cast some magic.
Weaknesses: Despite all of these physical abilities, Vincent is somewhat mentally damaged. Therefore, most of his weaknesses lay in his own troubled mind. He succumbs to bouts of depression and moodiness easily and has a great deal of trouble asking for help or comfort. He still harbors some guilt where Lucrecia is concerned and while having seemed to have lightened up about this since near the end of Dirge, it's unlikely that he's over it entirely.
While his guns do a lot of damage, they do not have infinite bullets. He will run out eventually, and need to buy/make more.
Even though his body has been enhanced, Vincent's brute strength is definitely not his most note worthy skill. Outside of transforming into Galian Beast (which seems to sacrifice his speed/stealth for raw power and endurance) that is. Cloud for example, would outrank Vincent in brute strength by quite a margin -- being a swordsman and specializing in dealing heavy blows with his heavy sword. Vincent excels in being quick, accurate and stealthy. He is strong enough to vault from building to building and do crazy acrobatics, but is a long range fighter for a reason.
( Other Important Facts ) : From the point in the timeline that I am taking Vincent from, he has had the protomateria returned to him, and has at least partially resolved some of his confusion (and a small amount of guilt) involving Lucrecia. It is incomplete however, and is a work in progress.
It is unclear whether or not Vincent requires food or sleep when he isn't off pulling crazy stunts that wear down his physical condition. It is also unknown if he is capable of getting sick.
