About Vincent CahaihnesBackground:
Vincent doesn't really know what his actual name is, or even who his actual parent's where. At a very young age he was abandoned by his family when as a child he possessed by a spirt and began to speak in tongues, his mother, unable to bear watching her child being killed by local churches as child of devils, she instead decided to leave him in the forest and the tender age of 2 and come back later so that they could run off and try to build a new life somewhere else. However when his mother left him the naturally curious child began to wander through the forest and when his mother came back he was nowhere to be found.
honestly at this time Vincent would not have lasted in the forest by himself, with no way to really defend himself or even provide food for himself. however as he wandered that day looking around the forest, chasing squirrel's and small birds he ran into an adult elf and his traveling companion, a young girl of 4 years of age. The elf was a wizard and a traveling scholar named Alosrin Sylnan, normal looking elf with long blonde hair and brilliant looks. The young girl was a changeling with a yellow eye and a blue eye, she was the ward and the apprentice of the Alosrin and was named Lyra Orihorn and though she appeared human she was set apart by her ability to breath under water and her snow white hair and pale skin. Alosrin, being a trained wizard, saw the magical potential that laid dormant within Vincent. After searching the forest for Vincent's guardian and finding none, he decided to take Vincent under his wing and nurture his magical powers, and named the babbling babe vincent. for several year's Vincent traveled with Alosrin and Lyra, learning much about magic and the world itself. in time Vincent began to call these two people his family. They often teased him for his emotionless and surgical attitude, but they knew that despite his lack of emotional display, he was fiercely loyal and would sacrifice his life to keep either of them alive, also they learned that despite this loyalty a person had to work to earn it form him. over time Vincent also learned to control spirts that possess his body so that he may gain knowledge, and Lyra taught him how to use his natural charm and looks to pacify people and get what he needs to survive. after traveling for so long Vincent loyalty began to evolve that of a simple feeling's of trust between a young child and his guardians. for Alosrin, he began to view him as the parent he no longer remembers. however, with Lyra he was never sure if the feelings were brotherly or romantic, she awoke emotions that he never felt or knew that he could feel. they were alien and because of that he began to feel fear for the first time, fear of loosing the two most important people of his life. it was a strange fear, but because of it he ran away from his family when he was 16, traveling by himself. 5 years have passed since then and on his travels he has received word that a elfish wizard and a young beautiful woman that he was traveling with, disappeared while staying in Crescent harbor. Normally he wouldn't pay much attention to this kind of news, but when he heard that the woman had one blue eye, one yellow eye, and snow white hair, he knew that these where the people that he left so long ago out of fear. now driven by love and the need to protect those he cares about, he traveled hastily to crescent harbor. after being there for a few day's and investigating, he discovered that the elf and woman were forced upon a ship bound for another harbor. Vincent now knew that his next step was to secure work upon a ship to begin his search for those he left behind, which now leads him to his current predicament among the wormwood. Stats:

Physical description: Vincent is pretty average looking. he stands around 5'9 and has brown hair. His hands don't show signs of hard labor, looking at him you can probably guess that the heaviest thing he's probably lifted in his life is a large tome. However, there are some things that stand out about him. One of them is his eyes, which are stormy grey with flecks of yellow, like lightning crackling through storm clouds. when it comes to dress he tend to prioritize functionality over looks, and prefers to have freedom of movement. because of this he has ditched the traditional flowing robes of a wizard or sorcerer and instead wears a leather vest over a light cotton shirt. and then blue cotton trousers with knee-high boots. Personality: Vincent tends to adapt his personality to the situation needed, thus making him two faced most of the time, a trick he learned from Lyra. However, if is someone he respects or considers an ally he then let's his true personality show. in actuality he tends to be almost emotionless. he see's most problems as straight forward and rather than break through whatever obstacle life throws at him, he rather work around it, after all, if your in a room, it'll be easier to go through the door that's already their rather than build a new one. he has a soft spot for women and children in trouble, once being an orphaned child himself. also because of most gnome's child like features he also tends to take a liking to them.
