Vance Saylor

Vance wrote:Name: Vance Saylor
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Birthday: 11/1 (All Saint's Day)
Sexuality: Pansexual
Special Characteristics: His trademark tophat, and blindfold bangs. Also, shark-like teeth.

Personality: Vance is the devil-may-care ace huntsman of the Saylor family, a prideful gentleman in his element, and disinterested outside of it. He is a man of many fancies, enjoying decadence when he can get it, and luxury where it can be found. Yet at the same time, he craves the danger of his line of work, living for the rush when facing down his most deadly prey. His general outlook on life could be summed up as, 'If you're bored, why even live?'

What is he like on a hunt? He knows all the steps, all the ins and outs of the trade. His incredible olfactory sense is the lynchpin of his hunting method, allowing him to hunt and fight beasts proficiently. His weapon of choice tends to be a spear, since it's an all-round useful weapon, but he isn't afraid to use hand-to-hand combat either, and is in many respects a lot scarier when disarmed, since at that rate the only way he can kill a beast is by breaking its bones and crushing its organs.

When not on the hunt, Vance is often found merrymaking, enjoying life as much as he can. He's known to blow whole paychecks on high quality, exotic cuisine at times, and is known to spoil random strangers if he happens to take a liking to them. When times are rough on him financially, on the other hand, he's usually incredibly stressed, usually due to the fact that he never grew up wanting for money, so he doesn't know how to budget his earnings out very well. He's the sort to gather money and scatter it around like a storm, not the sort prone to making wise spending decisions. He is known to fall victim to get rich quick scams, and wind up jewelless from time to time.

In terms of relationships, Vance is aloof, or rather, he never seems to get closer to somebody than anybody else. He's a genuine guy from start to finish, so the only way to know when he counts you among his closest friends is in rare circumstances 'when it matters'. For example he'll run to a friend's rescue if they're in danger without a second thought, throwing his life on the line as easily as he breathes if he must. In the cases of a romantic relationship, he figures he'll just fall into one without thinking about it, just like he does with everything else. To that end, somebody would definitely have to make the first move on him, because he's more the 'go with the flow' sort of guy.
Likes:
1- Fruity Perfume: Vance enjoys the fragrances of a lady's perfume and a man's cologne, but is especially fond of fruit-scented variants. He has a tendency to gravitate towards the smell, which may lead to some personal space issues.

2- Hunting: The thrill of the hunt is what pushed Vance into becoming a mage, taking up his family's art of big game hunting despite his disability.

3- Gourmet Food: Cooking is a passion he can't pursue properly due to his blindness (among other reasons), but that doesn't stop him from indulging in the labor of a professional from time to time. Offer him a 'world famous' dish, and he's like putty in your hands; Doubly so if the flavor backs that claim up.

Dislikes:
1- The Visual Arts: Something about art that you need to look at but can't understand it by touching bugs this blind fellow. Wonder what it could be. Interestingly enough, he still understands live performance arts quite well.

2- Sneaky People: He's hard to sneak up on for some reason, and people who try get on his nerves. Especially those with ulterior motives.

3- Foul Odors: He loathes it when he's around stinky things, and tends to get on peoples' cases regarding hygiene due to being unable to go nose-blind to it. He even does this to strangers, though in such cases he tends to plead politely (at first).

Motivations:
1- Thrillseeker: The surge of adrenaline he experiences when he takes on powerful foes and delves into dangerous territory is all the reason he ever needs to be anywhere with anyone doing anything.

2- Family Tradition: His family is reknown for their Big Game Hunting Expeditions, and their extensive individual trophy collections, which are auctioned off when a given family member dies to provide riches for the rest of the family to coast on while engaging in their own hunts. While Vance was never expected to pick up the tradition, he always felt compelled to figure out a way, as though his blood was calling him to hunt beasts.

3- Handicapable: The pity he received when his family found out he was blind was something that never sat right with him. There's a certain spite that drives him to do what people think he can't. It's reached the point where discovering he's blind at all feels like a slip-up on his part and he gets mad at himself for it.

Fears:
1- Perforated Textures: Things covered in holes similar orifices doesn't sit right with him. While he's fortunate enough that he doesn't have to look at them, it's always a bone-chilling, nauseating realization when he figured out he's touching something with that specification.

2- Dangerous Small Game: Specifically he finds no pride in hunting small game, no matter how genuinely dangerous. This applies to people as well, as strong individuals of short stature unnerve him, since fighting them would leave a bad taste in his mouth.

3- Deep Water: While he's adapted for hunting on land, he is little more than prey when submerged underwater. This is because he can't breathe which is a large part of his hunting and navigation method.
