CELEBRITY CLAIM Mathew Sanders (AKA M. Shadows)
EYE COLOUR Hazel. (though in some light, they almost look green)
HAIR COLOUR Light Brown.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT 6 ft, 1 in. - 205 lbs.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES He has the biblical story of the four horseman as a sleeve on his left arm. He also has a few smaller tattoos from his early teenage years on his legs. He also has his chest and upper abdomen covered in tattoos, along with tattoos along his right arm. His ears are 'stretched'. He has no body or facial piercings... yet.
CLOTHING STYLE Vinny is the type to roll out of bed, grab something off the floor to throw on if it doesn't smell too horrible and be out the door. He doesn't care what people think of the way he looks. He dresses for comfort, not to look 'stylish' by any means. If he could get away with walking around in public in his boxers all day, he wouldn't think twice about it. So long as he is comfortable, he doesn't care about the way he looks. Typically he has more of a grungy 'punky' style. He likes band tees and ripped up shirts and hats and baggy jeans. He is big on looking like a rocker... or like he just rolled out of bed.

POSITIVE TRAITS
- Loyal, almost to a fault. He doesn't trust many people, but once you are on his good side, you will forever have a true friend.
- Sarcastic. While some people would argue that sarcasm isn't necessarily a positive trait, Vinny's sarcasm is typically amusing. He has a strained sense of humor and a knack for snappy comebacks.
- Honest. Again, some may refuse to believe that Vinny's honesty is anything good, but at least you will always know what he thinks of you.
- Charming. Vinny knows how to bat his eyelashes and tell people what they want to hear. He knows how to get out of trouble and fast. He doesn't show his 'charming' side to many people, but it's there, I promise.
- Sweet. While this man is known for his attitude and anger problems, he can also be extremely sweet. There are certain people that he will always nurture and be loving around.
- Spontaneous. There is no real understandable reason for why Vinny likes you or not. If he likes you, he just does. He is random and lives in the moment.
- Driven. If he wants something, he will get it and nothing will stand in his way.
NEGATIVE TRAITS
- Mysterious. He likes to keep things bottled up and doesn't like people sticking their nose in his life. He has major trust issues and won't open up for just anyone.
- Stubborn. When he is right, he's right. Heck, even when this man is wrong he's right. You can tell him to do something a million and a half times and still, Vinny will do what he wants to do, when he wants to do it.
- Violent. Vinny is a ridiculously angry person. He picks fights and gets irritated easily. He will fight anyone. The amount of people that are safe from his 'issues' can be counted on one hand.
- Rude. This kind of falls in line with honesty. While in reality all Vinny is doing is pointing out the truth or speaking his mind a little too honestly, many people would consider him to be rude and just plain ridiculous.
- Flighty. This man never just picks one thing and sticks with it. He is compulsive and stubborn and not very committed to anything. He likes to think that he fights all of his problems head on, but in reality, he runs from a lot of his issues.
- Potty Mouthed. He curses... a lot. And honestly, this man is no gentleman. No pretty lady is going to come around and 'clean him up'. He is bad news and mean to the bone.
- Jealous. What's his is his and what's yours is his. Get the picture? Don't touch his stuff if you want to keep all your fingers.
LIKES
- Music. It's his main outlet... you know, other than beating people up and complaining.
- Junk food. He likes to eat what he wants and not have to worry about anything other than how good it tastes.
Guys.He has a serious taste for being in control and while he isn't necessarily the type to jump in to a relationship, he gets jealous very easily.- Sex. Lets face it, the guy has needs.
- Tattoos. He has enough to prove that one.
- Being right. He is hot headed and stubborn and always right. (Or so he likes to think!)
- Getting his way. He likes to be in control and loves the idea of power even more. People don't tell Vinny 'no' very often.
- Boxing. Fighting is right up there with music. He likes knowing how to defend himself (even though he is usually the one that is fighting for the offensive side) and it helps him let off steam.
- Golf. He comes across as a football or basketball type, but golf is his sport.
- Hats. They're great for bed head.
DISLIKES
- Whiners. He can't stand someone that sits around all day and complains about everything (though he does it himself) but never does anything about it.
- Know-it-alls. Even though he is a know it all, he likes to think that he is the only one that knows it all. Make sense?
- The N-Word. "No". What word did you think I was talking about?
- Homophobes. While he may come across as a homophobic jerk more times than not, it really does piss him off to hear people diss on the LGBT community.
- Racism. Then again, Vinny is kind of racist against everyone, including his own race. His excuse is that he's not racist, he just hates everyone.
- Eating from a plate. He's a messy eater and it seriously sucks having to change his shirt a million times. At least bowls make it a little harder to make a mess. Someone get this guy a bib!
- Doing laundry. He's lazy. He'd rather go naked than do a load of laundry.
- Being cooped up. He's not an animal (though he acts like one sometimes) and he hates being caged up for too long.
- Sarcasm. Some attitudes are amusing for short periods of time, but eventually even Vinny gets tired of other people's mouths. Well. Their voices, really.
- Neon. It hurts his eyes. Neon colors are just too bright for his liking. He's very in to neutral colors and pastels.
- Cursing. He can swear up a storm.
- Pictures. Unless they're good ones.
- Most females. While he is the big brother type to a lot of women, some females get under his skin and simply irritate him. Especially when females try to change him.
STRENGTHS
- Fighting. He's been fighting since he was a kid.
- Sarcasm. He can have a sharp tongue and an attitude that can do a multitude of things like lighten a mood or charm his way out of trouble or simply amuse his friends.
- Selective hearing. He tunes people out very often. It doesn't take much for him to lose interest in what anyone has to say other than himself.
- Control. He's fantastic at controlling his emotions, mainly. He's also pretty good at controlling other people. What he's not so good at is controlling his fists.
- Spotting a liar. He has lived with liars his whole life. He knows what to look for when he looks at people's body language. Just don't lie around him, mmkay?
WEAKNESSES
- Selfishness. Vinny is a very very selfish man and will always make sure his ass is covered before he even considers helping anyone else out. He thinks that he deserves to be put first in every situation.
- Causing chaos. He doesn't necessarily make trouble, but trouble definitely likes to find him and cause a little chaos. He is the man that you don't want to bring home to your family for the holidays. Surprise, mom and dad! He just likes to have a good time and not worry about anything. He gets jealous very easily though, so watch out. He likes to have all attention on him.
- Dyslexia. Vinny has a hard time reading or writing because of his dyslexia. It's the reason why he's had such a hard time in school. He's not stupid, he just can't read very well.
- His temper. Sometimes his level of irritation gets away from him and gets him in to all kinds of trouble. He's an angry guy and it's pretty obvious.
- Making friends. Vin isn't a very friendly person by any means. He doesn't come across as the type of person that you could goof off with and he definitely isn't warm and fuzzy. He's a very stand offish type of guy.
- Egocentric. He thinks that he is perfect in every way. It's not just confidence at this point. This man is the definition of narcissistic.
- His emotions. Because Vinny does bottle everything up instead of expressing himself openly, he sometimes becomes a slave to his feelings. He likes to pretend like nothing is wrong, even when something is bugging him.
- Trust. He only trusts very few people.
FEARS
- Second story houses and airplanes. He's not afraid of heights. Vinny is terrified of falling.
- Large dogs. While he turns his nose up and 'wimpy ankle biters', he's terrified of 'manly' dogs like rottweilers or great danes.
- Deep water. He's come so close to drowning more than once. Water just makes him squirm.
- Falling in love. He likes to make it seem like he has no heart, but his heart is just closely guarded and closed off. He's terrified that he'll fall for someone and end up getting hurt.
BEST MEMORY Meeting his father for the first time. His dad showed up with a new pair of shoes and threw them at him and gave his mom money for his school clothes.
WORST MEMORY His first major fight. He endured a ton of pain. A broken nose, two broken ribs, busted knuckles, bruises, a black eye, and expulsion. He wasn't sure which one was more painful.
LONG-TERM GOAL To have a family. He's terrified of falling in love and he's even more afraid of being a terrible father, but he wants to have a family nonetheless. A real family.
Getting his 'issues' under control. He knows that he needs to get his anger sorted out. He's afraid that he'll do some serious damage if he gets too angry at any one time.

OTHER N/A
HISTORY Vincent was born on the fifth of October to a sixteen year old mother and a father who left six months later. He spent his early childhood being shoved back and forth from place to place, never really settling in one place for very long before moving again. He wasn't entirely sure why his mother would often wake him up in the middle of the night to load him in the car and drive miles away from his last 'home', but after a while he stopped letting himself get too attached to people his age. Vinny knew that he wasn't going to stick around long enough to make any real friends anyway. But with his loner attitude also came enemies. He got picked on a lot by neighborhood kids that he ticked off and was outcast by his peers often for being the 'freak'. He realized quickly in life that it wasn't 'normal' to not have a father and to not want to have friends. In fact, Vinny was always kind of the odd one out. He didn't do well in school and for the most part, he blamed it on his constant moving around. He refused to believe that he was just slow at picking things up. Eventually he was tested in his early school years for dyslexia and there was a legitimate reasoning supplied for his low grades. All through his childhood, Vinny had a hard time making friends and keeping his sarcasm to a minimum. He had a strong personality and was simply too stubborn to back down to anything.
Growing up in a single parent home was difficult. His mother never worked and he never truly knew his father, other than a few brief times that he met him between moves and during scheduled meeting times arranged through the courts. He was a very angry person growing up. His mother was never really a mother figure to him because when she was home, she couldn't stand to look at him. "You look so much like your father" was her reasoning for avoiding him at all costs. Vinny had been raised being told that his father had left his mother and himself when he was only a couple of months old. While he knows now that the story he was told by his mother wasn't necessarily the whole truth, it didn't stop him from resenting his father with every fiber of his being. He hadn't seen his father in years, but he still remembers once when he was about thirteen years old, his father showed up with a brand new pair of shoes and threw them at Vinny's feet and said "put these on. i'm tired of you wearing them dirty ass shoes." At the time, he didn't know what to make of the gesture, but in reality, his father was simply checking up on the son that he hoped to be 'normal'. It wasn't long after that time that he started hanging out with the wrong people.
Vinny had never really truly gotten in to many fights when he was younger. Well, that's not necessarily true, but he'll never admit that he fought a lot. The only fight that is truly memorable to him is his 'first fight'. Or in other words, the first fight that he actually got hurt in. After getting cornered in a park on his way home from school, he was beaten up by a couple of high school boys who said that he 'looked at them funny'. He managed to receive a few busted ribs, a black eye, more than enough bruises that he couldn't cover, busted knuckles, and a very hurt pride. The two boys who beat him up were the ones that truly suffered though. Picking on Vinny was playing with fire... literally.
He was shocked and utterly confused more often than not when his abilities started showing more and more. He'd concluded quickly that he really was a freak like the other kids said. Very shortly after these dramatic events, his mother realized that just like his father, Vincent had a 'gift'. In her eyes, he was Satan. Evil. Wrong. A freak. He was happily handed over by his mother and sent to a school that claimed he was gifted, but he was tired of that idea. While he liked power, Vinny wanted nothing more than to fit in. It wasn't truly questioned by anyone that knew the boy that he was suddenly accepted in to a 'gifted' school simply because he had always been known as musically gifted despite the fact that he lacked in he grades department. Slowly he came to terms with the idea of controlling his abilities and even came to kind of like the idea of who he was, once he could control himself. Kind of.
Vincent was and always will be the type that attracts trouble. He seems to find a way to befriend all the wrong people and worm his way in the middle of all chaos. He argues that he doesn't cause problems - trouble just finds him. He scraped by in school, not quite failing even though he came close a couple of times. When he was a little boy, Vinny never saw himself as the type to finish high school, let alone go on to college. He is constantly surprising himself at how far he just keeps going. After all, Vin wanted as much control over his abilities as he could and at the end of the day, school really isn't that horrible. Even though he has to deal with people at said school which is something he's typically not very good at. Dealing with people, that is.

SECRET WORD Correct.
RP SAMPLElaughing to himself at the idea of being his friend's body guard to some extent, ashton couldn't help but wonder if she really did think of him as a protector. "well don't worry, princess. you can use me as a human shield any time you want, so long as you chase away all the scary looking people that try to come on to me." he suggested playfully, though he knew that she would take it to heart. in a way, he saw grace as his protector. if it weren't for her, he would probably be taking drugs for some std by now. he frowned slightly at the thought, though he pushed away the dark idea as quickly as it dawned on him. "besides, i know that you really just drag me along with you because i'll carry all of your bags and pay for lunch without complaining." and it was true. he had more than enough money to blow on this gorgeous red head and he really did like shopping with her. so what if it wasn't manly? he was comfortable with his sexuality.
he could tell that her question on if she looked good that she was trying to fish for compliments. anything to build her ego. while sometimes he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her when it came to questions like this, he always managed to smile brightly and tell her that she looked like a million bucks. she got hurt so easily. behind that cutthroat facade was an insecure girl. ash cringed. he didn't want to think. he searched for some joke to crack, something inappropriate and naughty, but he didn't have it in him. "believe me, it's just the top. your tits are perfect. he said with full honesty in his tone. while normally he would do some obnoxious movement or suggest something vulgar, he didn't feel like being a jokester right now. he tried not to roll his eyes at how melodramatic his friend was being about the top that she obviously didn't like, despite the fact that he had complimented her. always the actress.
ashton couldn't help but laugh as grace so obviously pretended not to hear him when he mentioned her makeup. he knew that he would never understand why some girls wore makeup when they looked flawless even without it, but he wouldn't push for long before he backed off again. she continued her ridiculous fashion show after he threw her the purple shirt and ash honestly couldn't be bothered enough to care that she had ignored him. he looked down at the bags at his feet, wondering how many of them were actually his. not many, if he remembered correctly. his attention moved back upward as grace moved out of the dressing room again, looking just as drop dead as she usually did. "you look hot mama." he said appreciatively, nodding with honest approval. he loved the way her eyes lit up and how fast her body language changed when she felt good about herself.
the smile that tugged across his lips was goofy and charming, knowing that the red head before him wasn't truly irritated with him, despite the fact that her voice sounded harsh. he was a big guy and he needed to eat and she seemed to know that. after all, he had followed her around like a good little lap dog all day. he deserved to stuff his face and make up for the calories he'd burned carrying around bags and wandering from shop to shop. he waited patiently for his friend to finish getting dressed in her own clothes, sliding the handles of bags back on to his arms as he waited. as she moved back out from the room, he smiled with obvious affection, though he had to force himself not to sigh as he realized that she had left all of the clothes piled in the dressing room. normally he would go in after her and put back all the clothes to their original racks as she paid for the few things she wanted to buy, but today he pretty much had his hands full. instead, he simply shook his head and followed her to the counter. he had half a mind to ease his guilty conscience by asking one of the sales clerks to check out the dressing room, but he remained silent. he let his eyes wander around the store as grace bought her clothes, watching the employees move around the shop in a frenzied state, helping out customers, removing folded sweaters from shelves, and tending to the long lines. he pushed himself forward and let his forearm rest on his friend's lower back. he had no idea how hectic it was to work in retail in such a big city as this, but from the looks of it, it looked pretty insane.
his eyes shifted down over grace's back, sliding lower with every second that it took for the receipt to print for her to sign, though he blinked and forced his eyes quickly upward as she turned her body to hand him her bag. he was sure that he probably looked like a little boy that had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but he forced his smile to remain the same. his cheeks threatened to heat up as he tried to stop himself from imagining her naked. "um... sure." he said softly, taking the bag from her quickly so that she didn't thrust it in to his chest. she knew how demanding she could get once in a while when he took too much time to respond to her. it took him a few seconds to realize that she had moved toward the door of the shop, though as he realized that he was falling behind, he quickly followed after her. he smiled to himself, though his thoughts seemed to refuse to be quiet.
"well... do you feel like japanese, french, or italian?" he asked simply, tilting his head slightly to the side as he thought about some of the more classy restaurants in the city. "i'm kind of feeling french, honestly. but today is lady's choice." he suggested, letting his eyes wander back down her spine shamelessly, lingering on her ass for a few seconds before moving closer to her and wrapping his arm around her waist shamelessly. "today, like every other day, is all about you."
