Overview-Vincent is a newly made vampire but that's no going to stop him from what he does best, con's and digging up dirt. If anything this new life might provide ample opportunities. He's always had to fend for himself and his sister due to dead beat parents and if he'll have to do it for the rest of time then he'll need to get to work.

History-Born and raised in Philly, Vincent learned early on not to rely on anyone for anything. His parents where either too drunk or too strung out to care for him so he learned to fend for himself. Vinny soon learned from the streets, starting by helping others with their scams then striking out against marks. When social services came, he took his sister and ran, preferring a chance on the streets to social services. So far, one of his favorite scams has been 'paranormal investigator', people think their haunted and a few tricks of 'evp' or 'temp drop' and their willing to pay him for 'speaking to the dead', while he does have a interest in the paranormal, dead is dead, right? Other than that he's relied on good looks and social grace to get him out of bind of course it's led to the occasional chase down the streets are alleys from jealous partners. He doesn't want to be a con man forever, but that doesn't mean he's willing to go straight. Vincent always thirsted for information, picking up new languages from people he's met and watching social interactions, he knows knowledge is wealth so one day he hopes to graduate to black mail and information brokering, more money that way. It was this ambition and will to survive that led to his sire embracing him. Meeting a girl at a party, Vinny was lured away and turned into a Daeva, his sire Cynthia who turned him and was soon killed for embracing without the neonates consent. He now finds himself a newborn in the world of undead, however he plans to survive.

Appearance-A fragile-looking, handsome man with a beautiful face or a mischievous and unsavory character, both are perfectly fine ways to describe Vincent. With a lithe build and short black hair, he's not exactly a threatening figure and plenty of folks have sized him up to be perfectly harmless, just like he wants them to think.

Personality-It's not that Vinny is heartless, he would argue that he cares alot about people, it's just that people have let him down. His parents where hardly fit for the title and he had to fend for himself and his sister, giving him a strong sense of 'family first'. He will take advantage of a sucker who seems too stupid for their money but will try to focus on folks who deserve it. He's learned that knowledge is power and values information more than brute strength. When it comes to people, he likes to observe 'interesting folks, those who have a story or are going to make one, and he'll be there with the popcorn to watch it unfold. He's never been able to form a meaningful bond with anyone romantically but he's looking, till then he's willing to have fun with whoever wants to enjoy life, or unlife now. More than anything however he wants the life he thinks he and his sister are owed, and he'll do anything to get their
