- Appearance -

Cat stands rather tall at 1 meter 93, 15 centimeters larger than his real self due to a minor size complex with how much smaller he is than his overwhelmingly huge little brother Wolf, who is 3 years younger than him.
He keeps his long, silky, platinum hair free most of the time so his gorgeous locks can hang or flutter freely in the wind, happily displaying one of his most prized and beautiful assets. He ties it into a long ponytail when he is busy poring over books, tomes or his crafts. He has a smooth and slender, objectively pretty face befitting of the angelic Enochs, framing his light turquoise eyes. Being an Enoch, he also possesses a pair of large and feathery platinum white wings that fit his hair color. In this avatar, his gaze is a distant and longing one, which further solidifies the initial impression of him being a moody person.
Under his clothes, he is slightly on the thin side, with faintly visible ribs and slightly muscular. While idle, he has a slightly awkward posture, and prefers leaning back against objects and fitting his hands in his pockets, or playing with his hair when he's relaxed.

- Personality -

Initially, Vincent may come across as a silent and moody person. When in the company of strangers or when initially forced to work together with people he doesn’t know, he prefers to remain silent and as such can be seen as shy.
He is slow to open up to people, but to those with shared interests he will do so quickly and even come across as overly enthusiastic with his few passions. On the outside, he prefers acting like an unserious goofball around those whom he is comfortable with and is quick to make stupid, silly, and sometimes ridiculous jokes, even going as far as commonly making self-degrading jokes with the best intentions to lighten up the mood or make his friends laugh. When alone, he usually is silent and can come across as a serious and even gloomy, dreary person due to his defeatist attitude when he doesn’t feel comfortable. He suffers from a severe lack of self-confidence and is generally anxious about his performance due to his mediocrity in so much fields.

The people who spend more time with him will notice these traits he usually keeps hidden behind his jokester facade, and his intense desire to perform exceptionally in a skill or field that no one else does so he can at least feel useful or special. Behind this all, he respects his friends for their many strengths, and often thinks of them better than he thinks of himself. As a result of how much he puts emphasis on someone's strengths and flaws, he is very judgmental of people that exhibit one of the primary flaws he dislikes - which in general boils down to "Being a dick" or "Being a hopeless moron". That is not to say that he isn't one to give up on people easily though, as he feels of himself that he is perhaps the most flawed of everyone. He is quick to forgive the minor flaws or faults that others have and make, unless they are of the gravest magnitude.

He truly loves his brother, Flavio, with an inseparable brotherly love no matter how many times he angers him, and feels like the more responsible between the two - often trying to take the lead, and sometimes even scolding him with the best intent. Those who pick on Flavio, both in real life or over the internet, are met with quick and venomous retribution from Vincent, whom can easily insult the worst trait of a person due to his habit to recognize patterns in people easily, or make them out as fools.

In his friend group, Vincent is usually one of the more skilled players in games due to his vast knowledge of scenarios, cooperation, and skills from his many RPGs, MOBAs and Strategy games he has played. Due to his love for animals and plantlife, and his habit to always find the strengths and weaknesses of his friends, he is exceptionally keen on remembering monsters or characters and their traits, attributes, etc, but unlike Wolf, he isn't as mechanically skilled. While ingame, Vincent used to show extremes whether he was playing alone or with his friends. Over voice chat, he would often yell the loudest, shriek the highest and groan the hardest to anything to show his emotions, with much reprimanding from Wolf and his friends because they "Could hear him twice, even on the other side of the hallway."

- Biography -

Maybe someone would expect a well thought-out, amazing backstory written for Vincent. That someone would be disappointed, sadly. Growing up in a perfectly normal and healthy family as the eldest brother, Vincent was doted on by his parents and teachers alike for his good attitude. What he lacked in work ethic and assertivity, he made up for in good intentions and close friends. A shy and awkward boy on the outside, his ability to keep secrets and promises and his genuine care for his friends made him a popular class figure, despite his bizarrre quirks.

In high school and further, however, Vincent suffered under his lack of work ethic. While definitively mentally gifted, his inability to focus on menial tasks and studies hindered him greatly, causing his grades to be a mixed bag. Too often would he fantasize about his games and thought-up scenarios and fantasy worlds to truly commit to studying. With falling and rising, however, he made his way through education month after month, often saddened by his own incompetences but cheered up by his friends and games. Nonetheless, he often suffered moody bouts where he felt unappreciated or useless - his other friends were more social, smarter, scored better, more athletic, etc. As a result he enjoyed showing off his skills in video games, creative exercises and his extensive knowledge of animals and how to get along with them, believing these to be his own positive traits.

He would often introduce his little brother, and then his close friends, to games where he would help and teach them. It would have been just the same with Gaia Reborn - a game he had initially brushed off because he was “too busy finishing other games in his backlog.” When the Italian expansion came out, however, he couldn’t resist it, and instructed Flavio where he could obtain and download the game. After having made sure he selected the correct server as him, he sat down on bed together with him and already discussed classes in advance. Of course Flavio would go a tank capable of protecting him. Vincent meanwhile would go for a Sorcerer Sage, figuring Mechanic would be a good crafting talent to compliment Flavio’s Blacksmith. He took seat at his own room again and made his character with a smile. The last thing he remembers before his vision turning black, was clicking the “Create Character” button, and an ever-so-brief thought of concern for Flavio and bewilderment before he lost consciousness.


- Extra -

Older brother to Wolf Graycastle, AKA Flavio Vandenkastele.
Compulsive nail biter, as a result even his once-normal Avatar’s fingernails are slightly shorter; especially his dominant left hand.
Having had up to ten pets in his life, he truly loves animals no matter their size and gets along well with cats especially well, hence his namesake.
As a Belgian habit, he tends to swear a -lot- when very upset or frustrated.

    Aetherial Desperation

As spells are cast and mana is spent, residual magic essence begins to permeate the Sorcerer's body. Starting at 60% mana, the Sorcerer receives a minor Magic Attack and Magic Defense Up. This buff grows linearly as the Sorcerer’s mana drops, up to tripling to average at zero mana.

    Passive skill.

- Rank I -

    Energy Salvo
Conjure forth a salvo of 5 non elemental magic darts fanned out above the Sorcerer before launching them at a target within 10m. They travel fast and home lazily. Each dart deals very minor damage, dealing average non-elemental magical damage in total if all darts connect.
    1s cast time, 6s cooldown. Low mana cost.

    Lightning Coil
Call forth a purple bolt of lightning from one’s staff that instantly strikes a targeted enemy within 20 meters, dealing above-average magical Air damage and inflicting a weak Paralysis for 3s. The bolt of lightning will instantly jump between up to 4 more enemies within 5 meters of each other at random, only striking each enemy once. The bolt’s power reduces by a minor amount with every jump, but applies the Paralysis debuff without any penalties.
    2s cast time, 15s cooldown. Average mana cost.

    Geo Rend

Cause the ground under any enemy within 20 meters to crack, collapse and shift as jagged rocks erupt, skewering all enemies within a 2 meter radius. Deals strong magical Nature damage and Interrupts enemies hit.
    2s cast time, 15s cooldown. Average mana cost.

    Arcane Artillery
Lob an arcane ball of energy from the tip of the Sorcerer’s staff which lazily homes in on the designated target within 15m. Upon contact, the energy ball explodes, dealing below-average non-elemental magical damage to all enemies in a 3m radius.
    1.5s cast time, 10s cooldown. Below-average mana cost.

    Rose of Rime
Conjure a rose-patterned circle with a 4m radius at a designated area within 20 meters. It inflicts an average Movement Down to all enemies as long as they stand in it and lasts for 5 seconds. After one second, spears of clear ice shoot upwards to impale enemies and deal average magical Ice damage. Enemies impaled are Chilled for low damage over 20s.
    2s cast time, 15s cooldown. Average mana cost.

    Disassembly
Mechanics have a certain skill with taking apart machines, so monsters that are mechanical in nature had better watch out. Mechanics deal a low amount of extra damage to Machine and Golem-type monsters.
    Passive skill.

    Sagacious Aptitude
The Sage has a vast knowledge regarding the inner workings of magic and the elements, and are able to see and sense their presence. While toggled on, the Sage can see the elemental affinity of objects within 20 meters. A faint aura the color of their element will glow around everything that has an elemental affinity. Objects with an affinity of Fire will glow red, blue for Ice, green for Nature and yellow for Air. The Sage can thus see the elements of an object, equipment, monsters, et cetera.
    Toggle.

    Icarian Blessing

While the Enoch are a winged race, bearing impressive angelic wings on their backs, it is a part of the body that the Adventurers are not used to possessing, and while the Enochlian People of The Land have mastered their feathered appendages, the Adventurers have merely learned to control them on a basic level so as to prevent their wings from knocking things over. Enochlian Adventurers are able to open and close their wings at will, but they are incapable of flight, only allowing for gliding; as such, Enochlian Adventurers take an intense reduction in fall damage and can glide for limited distances.
