Vincent B Schnee

"For every light that shines there is always a shadow waiting for the darkness to return"

- Vincent Schnee

Description: Vincent is tanned skinned.Short black hair with glowing hazel eyes. He always keeps his appearance clean and proper due to growing up in a militarily oriented family side of the Schnee's (Which is easily depicted with their side of the family having tanned skin and dark hair). Due to his past he is never seen with his shirt off to hide his many scars that cover his back and shoulders. His Body type is well build lean muscle and most consider him handsome. He wears mostly dark colors with a black cloak almost always on him.

Personality: Vincent main traits are calm quite and collective. He does enjoy talking with his friends to a limit but many consider him to be nice normal guy at first glance. He is very straight forward but well verse with his wording as to not come off to strong. His friend say that he often zones out and his stare is very unsettling to mostly anyone its directed at (thought most of the time he doesn't realize he is starring).Vincent is not a very trusting person and he likes to keep as much information about himself secret which makes his friend look at him in a mysterious and dangerous way. He can be very caring but cold at the same time as he will not put himself in what he deems unnecessary danger to help others in combat unless something is to be gained out of it. Though he many not put himself in danger for friends if one is being picked on or bullied in the slightest of manners he wont hesitate to hurt the perpetrator with or without them knowing. When around new people Vincent has a very erratic personality as he changes it to fit the people he is with when not being his normal self to confuse people who think they already "depicted his image". He will not hesitate to kill his enemies when the time comes which give him an aura that's very unsettling since you cant detect his killing intent or get a read off his facial expression.

History: Vincent had a easy childhood though with 4 Brothers and 4 Sisters he was not given much attention to. In his younger years(8 to 13)Vincent was a very bad kid causing trouble anywhere he would go being very arrogant and selfish. He would always fight with his brothers and cause trouble for his sisters which lead to him getting disciplined by this father. He was always very curious and some say to smart for his own good, he would often go off to explore where every he found himself in and find ways to cause trouble without getting caught at the same time. When he hit 14 Vincent hold demeanor change to that of a very cold and quite kid growing up as cousin to Weiss Schnee his turn around in attitude allowed for him to become quite good friends with her and she would even practice singing to him as well to teach him some fighting skills in the art of the sword she even taught him to dance which he very quickly realized he hated.

During his free time and having a wealthy family Vincent was taught buy many skilled in the trade. he picked up many martial arts and practiced them to profession. He would often fight with other kids since he didn't grow and fill out until he was 16 and his small a skinny stature along with his outgoing and aggressive behavior gave him plenty of fighting experience until he changed to what his personality is now.

Over the years that Vincent changed to the incident that which happened involving the white fang he stopped talking with most of his family and grew apart to all but his youngest brother and sister who idolize him. He was set to join the Atlisian Military after training at the many combat schools and hunter academy's like his older siblings were set to do. Vincent side of the family was not involved with the SDC as his father cared more about the world of remnant and grew to become a general in the atlisian military more then the Dust company and work more on the security matters which allowed Weiss father to take over from there and gave way to the two sides of the schnee family one with the light appearance to that of the dark that his family has.

Not Much else is know to Vincent's Childhood other then what is listed. When Vincent turn 16 he was capture and tortured when traveling to see his cousin at the Schnee manor. Do to not having a weapon at the time and being asleep he was taken without much of a fight. The white fang tortured him for 12 weeks first with just beatings and methods which involved water. They soon realized they would not get anything out of him (Not that he knew anything) This is when the Whipping started and how he got his scars. One day when they were done questioning and hitting him with an aura enhanced metal wire he was thrown into a cell to server as his prison until they decided to try again or just kill him like most wanted to. With all the thought on how he was going to kill his captors he focused one how to get out which is when he found is semblance Blink. He soon escaped the hide out but ended up in a grim infested Forrest along with all the other things that wanted to kill him. Out of energy he collapsed and was found buy a lone wolf pup that was about to clean his wounds with his drool (Benjamin semblance). At this point in time Vincent changed his name to not be known as a schnee which the world thought him dead he took on the surname Russo. Along with his new partner Benjamin Vincent he learned to survive on his own and became the person he is today.

Weapons & Ability:

Vincent has two sets of weapons:

His first set a weapons does not have a name until he made them his own as he started with nothing when he came out of the white fang hideout he took the liberty of stealing some weapons from them. This consisted of two dust pistols and two katanas. With the help of stealing and manipulating he was able to hire a weapons maker to give his swords and edge. He made the scabbards a cannon of sorts to launch the blades out and give more to his first swing as well as being able to shoot musket balls at will and give him more movement speed with the recoil of the shots being about to shoot forward and backward. He properly named his swords and pistols White/Fang

His Second and Now primary weapons set: With Vincent skill set of being about the silence people that need to be silence he took jobs that other would deem to be incriminating. Though this did not both him it led Vincent to better know weapons manufacturers and with the money he gain from his not so noble jobs he bought the idea of the weapons to the table and they got to work.

Pass Time: Pass Time are two Skorpion vz. 61 Sub machine guns that weight in at 4.5 lbs each with the ablity to interchange barrels and mechanisms then can fire .32 ACP (7.65×17mm Browning SR) (vz. 61, vz. 61 E 9×19mm Parabellum (vz. 68) 9×18mm Makarov (vz. 65, vz. 82) .380 ACP (9×17mm Short) (vz. 64, vz. 83) depending on the set up. with a firing rate of 850-900 rounds and minute. Both weapons have the mechanics to switch into CQB combat more and extend into short sword/daggers at around the blade lenght being 24-33 inches. With some hard work and extra lien connecting the two together is CQB mode allows then to change into one CZ Scorpion EVO III for greater range and fire power firing 9x19mm Parabellum at a rate of 1150 rounds a minute.

The final weapon piece in Vincent 2nd set of weapons is:

Free Time: free times is a Think Long sword with a blade at 105cm this is a one handed sword with the ablility to fire off .338 Lapua Magnum dust rounds in sword form its only able and transformation is that it can combine with Pass Time to make a very high impact sniper rifle (Vincent Has never used this form) When he places his long range sniping scope and magazine to complete the transformation (only works if Past Time is in EVO Form for the transformation)

Abilities: Vincent is not every well versed in using his New set of weapons since he is not used to transforming weapons and the fact that he likes the art that comes along with using a katana with the sword styles he knows and learned over his travels styles that incorporate Tamiya-ryu, Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu and Ono-ha Itto-ryu. He is quite the martial artiest styles which include Krav Maga/ Ninjutsu / Muy Thai / and Vacuo Jiu Jitsu.

Vincent is not considered the best shot in beacon he could be considered average which is why he does not use his sniper form of Free Time but doesn't bother him since he has the freedom to be reckless with his shots with Past Time for its fully auto mode and high fire rates.

His skill with White/Fang can be considered remarkable and puts him high on the danger list when using them to full effect with precise and quick strikes, He cleans and polishes them daily to make a blade point sharp enough to shave with. Free Time is more less fluent and precise, with a heavier and thicker blade it gives him more heavy strikes and can get passed most grim armor if wielded properly and with enough aura and power beside it. He is still learning to master the art of the swords and make his own style with Free Time and Past Times Blades

Semblance & Aura: Vincent's semblance is very useful is his style of fighting. His semblance gives he the ability to disappear both literally and figuratively. He properly named this blink. When first discovering his semblance in the white fangs hideout he found out that he has the capability to teleport short distances and turn invisible.

Blinks teleportation works as long as he can see where he wants to end up. He is capable of using this 3 times in a row at a max distance of around 150 meters and takes about 45 seconds till he is capable of using this again. As he gets most in depth with this ability his range with increase as well as how many times he can do it in a row.

Blinks invisibility takes a lot out of Vincent it requires high stamina to keep up and a calm state of mind. At his current level he is able to stay invisibly for 30 seconds in combat and 2 mins out side of combat or risk aura depletion and fatigue. This does not hide killing intent or aura from detection or sound.

Vincent's Aura : His aura takes the form of black smoke when using blinks teleportation he levels smoke in the air for a couple of seconds from one spot to the next he has basic aura skills and above average aura reserve. He will learn to be able to using his aura to hide and distract enemys with the smoke later on after his 3rd year at becon and using it for other helpful matters.
