styx, vincent calder

PERSONALITY: vincent doesn't seem the sort to hold a grudge. he gives out smiles like sweets and gestures broadly, dramatically. he knows everyone and everyone knows him. he seems likable, plays the role of big brother or doting son or best wingman or an ear to listen very well. the last, he plays all too well.
[break][break]
he's the epitome of the phrase "hide a knife behind a smile." vincent's friendly, he's kind, he's willing to give hot food and a warm place to sleep - but everything he offers comes with strings, with a cost. he works for styx but he says, repeatedly, determinedly, it does not own him. styx may have his resources, but he has some secrets that he will keep close to his chest.
[break][break]
maybe it'll mean his death, but if the thought's ever crossed his mind he never shows it on his face. trust the smile, trust that the knife that will find your back is out of necessity, not hatred.

BIOGRAPHY: vincent's a pyrite kid, through and through - his parents grew up there, his grandparents died there, and he plays the role of a rising street kid with self-made connections, casts it about his shoulders like a blanket and uses it as a weapon.
[break][break]
if asked, he'll tell you, i grew up on the streets. if asked, he'll tell you, i had what styx wanted.
[break][break]
(this is what he will not say: styx offered me the same offer they do everyone else. join or die.)
[break][break]
they use him like a database and he lets them, because it gives him some amount of control. movements, warehouses, rising stars and falling icons - if there's a rumor, he'll know it. styx knows this, his partners know this, and he crooks a finger and promises stories in return for money, for influence, for connections. at twenty-eight he's one of the more trusted, and they pay him well.
[break][break]
at twenty-eight he's still under styx's thumb, but an information broker is afforded more freedom than most. everything he owns is his, no strings attached - the misdreavus, a partner turned friend. his home, something bought with a rumor to the right ears, a scandal that struck down as a commision. his friends, his own.
[break][break]
he travels out of need, and one day, he says - he'll rise or he'll tear a hole in the net.

NINEVE ♀
[break]
levitate, serious
[break]
mystical fire, phantom force, power gem, payback, mean look, shadow sneak
[break]
HISTORY: a ghost thrives off the living; a mismagius feeds off of fear, something that wafted about vincent when he was younger. a symbiotic relationship turned partnership turned relationship, the dusk stone that evolved her was bought with clean money. she likes to stay in vincent's shadow and peer over his shoulder as a disembodied set of red eyes.

PERCIVAL ♂
[break]
intimidate, impish
[break]
play rough, iron head, crunch, iron defense, feint attack, metal burst
[break]
HISTORY: one time, a client paid him with a pokemon. vincent normally pawns those off, but, well - a mawile is more useful than most, and nineve had been more interested than normal by the steel-type with the big bite. percival's ended up sticking around, and is well known to act cute one moment, and go for the ankles the next.
