Name: Vincent Harmonia
Alias: Ruprecht
Origin: Orion's Belt (A mountain range southwest of the Continent of Aubreach)
Age: 22
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 110
Gender: Male
Race: Angel/Vampire
Allignment: Evil
Weapon:
Symphony's Requiem:
A strong rapier around 5' in length, and the width of an average human thumb. The blade itself is made out of an extremely rare metal known as Draconian and is near impossible to break, despite its small size. The Symphony's hilt is golden and is encrusted with numerous different jewels. The jewels on the hilt are not for decoration however, the requiem's power relies on these jewels to keep its massive amount of power at a certain limit, or the sword could overload and just destroy the wielder. When the blade is used, it lets out a small, incomprehensible whine of noise. This noise can throw the opponent off guard and cause massive disturbances to the opponent's central nervous system. When the blade is used in succession, it can easily crush the nerves of a weak person without even getting closer to the close-range vicinity of attack. It is also said that the blade itself (When used enough) can cause the outside world to crumble and fold on itself with relative ease.
Vincent obtained this sword from his father, a wealthy Angelic Aristocrat, and had trained with it since he was born. Training with a rapier, he was classed as a weak, typical-aristocrat fighter. However, upon entering a nearby tounament disguised as a commoner, Vincent learned how to weild a sword in countless different ways, becoming a world-renowned swordsman under the name of "Ruprecht". Being proficient in all types of swordsmanship, he can use the Symphony as any sword to fit the situation.
Powers: Born with the power of fantastic hearing. Though, at first this only became useable in his music lessons as a child, he didn't keep it that way. Though Vincent is also a master musician, "Ruprecht" had faced countless mages, and learned that it was impossible to defeat them solely through swordsmanship. He started to learn new types of magic, though, his blood refused to allow him to summon anyform of Elemental magic. This infruriated Vincent... However, he quickly learned that he could change certain magical abilities and work them into some form of new magic. After years of study (6-18), he finally learned how to manipulate sound waves throughout the world.
This power is incredibly useful. Using his powers, he can convert even the most inaudible whisper to a sound that could shake a continent. This power is very risky though, using the basics of magic without innate magical ability, he has to use a significant amount of his own life energy in accordance with the power of the attack. He can also change the frequency of sound, for example, using this technique, he could change a note of music into a boulder's resonante frequency and break it apart. However, this technique is considerably weaker than the other form of the technique, it uses more energy to perform due to its destructive capability.

Appearance: Now travelling as an outlaw, rather than an Aristocrat, Vincent shunned more than his name, he also changed his style of clothing. Ruprecht is a pretty boy, hands down and no doubts about it, however, his body is full of contradictions. His skin is slightly pale due to his vampire heritage, but it is also a deeper colour than most normal vampires. He isn't a particularly kind looking man, with dark-red eyes and a nasty-but-slightly comforting smirk about it. The left side is covered by his short-but-spiky silver hair. Underneath this, is a scar from his batttle with Sensui. This scar was made by a very powerful magic arrow and has supposed dark properties.
His basic build is pretty average and always seems to wear the same white-and-onyx cloak as he travels the world. Underneath the cloak is black leather tunic. The collar of the tunic pokes out of the cloak and is the only clue of what he wears underneath the outfit. He wears a red-and-black collar around his neck which he was given by the girl he had met in the tournament as a child. As a reminder about her. His rapier sits at his waist on a leather belt, again underneath the cloak.
Magic: In Story...
Special Skills: Being a vampire, he has considerable strength and agility. He uses this ability to move quickly and easily around the world and fight. He also has the ability to manipulate the shadows of other people and can quite simply suck the life out of a person through their own shadow. He can freeze, manipulate and kill people through their shadow, however, he must give up some of his own angelic blood in order to make the shadow merge with himself.
Strengths: Strong, extreme agility, able to talk people into anything. Master Swordsman.
Weaknesses: Despite being strong, he is at the complete mercy of those who use Close-Range fighting abilities. Also, since his own brand of magic is rather unstable, he finds it difficult to fight against those that have control over it. Elemental users are his most hated of people.
Bio: Born to a vampiric mother, Vincent was destined to become an outcast of society. However, due to the fact he was the son of an important angelic figure of the world, he was allowed to live. His mother was killed by hunters shortly after he was born and he has no real memories of her. Vincent grew up in aristocracy and was raised to be a gentleman. He was a genius at all of his subjects and was set to marry a beautiful girl in the city they lived in and take over the family. As a child, he was known throughout the land as a Child Prodigy, especially for his music, and the town loved him. However, as he grew older, Vincent became bored of the life he had been living. He had heard from the Lord's servants about legendary warriors that would save the world from the darkness, and the evils in the world. However, Vincent had heard about warriors mostly since his father continuously went to war. Mankind waged war over and over again and always needed saving from the beings high above. Vincent became angered and annoyed that people called Humans "Heroes". He couldn't understand that humans could be both good AND evil. He decided when he turned 13 that he would enter a tournament away from his hometown and win it, proving that there are no stronger people outside of the Angel race.
He entered the tournament under the name of "Ruprecht" and fought countless battles. He hated everyone that was there, adults that mocked his age, fellow team members in the team matches that would make fun of his accent. He hated them all, he was proving to himself that others were all evil and had to be purified.
However, he met a girl in the tournament that looked after him. Her name was "Merril", and he fell instantly in love with her. It was a confusing time for him though. All these other people would fight and make fun off him, even going so far as to bring him near to death in the nights that he had to stay over in the tournament arena. Merril was always there to help him, giving him bandages and healing his wounds with her powers, and she never once asked him for his race or social standing, like the others around. The tournament lasted a year, and it was heaven and hell for Vincent, he had the fights that he loved, the other warriors who made him sick with rage, and the girl that calmed his thoughts and soul. However, during the last month, things began to become even more confusing. There was a young man around Vincent's age, that entered the tournament late, as he came from another block after all the other warriors left. Merril changed then, she began to bring the new boy into the group since they knew each other as children and were raised together. The new boy's name was "Sensui", and he was more than kind to Vincent. Vincent became confused again... He thought only Merril would ever be nice to him, but this new boy had came in and instantly wanted to become friends with him. But, there was another problem, both Sensui and Vincent were in love with Merril. Vincent finished and won every match up to the finals. He had one last match to win, a final fight against Sensui. He wanted so badly to prove his power to Merril, that he promised himself to go all out on his new friend. Rapier Vs. Katana.
Sensui was also well-trained in the use of a sword, but had more "Street-Fighting"-esque experience under his belt, and was used to the tricks that Vincent had to offer him. No matter how much Vincent tried, he couldn't even hope to keep up with Sensui's speed and complete mastery of the "Style-Change" Technique. Sensui threw his sword into the air and countered every hit that Vincent used with a smash to the jaw, or a quick roundhouse kick to the gut. Sensui was far superior to Vincent, but he couldn't give up. Near the end of Vincent's energy, Sensui jumped back and offered him a break from the fighting. Vincent was furious. He was laughing in a fight that meant everything to him. Sensui had told him nothing of his reasons for entering the tournament, but Vincent's were clear. Prove to the world that it was weak and find a place specially in Merril's heart. He began to hate Sensui in that fight, but smirked. His eyes began to glow, and he stood up. The roar from the crowds began to muffle as Vincent made his palm face Sensui. Sensui stopped grinning and fell to the floor, the sound of the crowds applause had been focused entirely inside his head and had been amplified. He couldn't even scream, as every sound entered his head. Vincent started to laugh, but found out that Sensui had something in his hand. He threw it at Vincent and fell unconscious.
When Vincent came to, he found nothing, except that his left eye had become almost non-existant and the leftside of his face had become horribly scarred. Everything he looked at just disappeared and nothing was there. He closed it out of fear and found himself in a prison. He was confused again. He thought he had been taken back to his hometown, but he hadn't. He asked the guard what happened, and he only replied that all fighters had to be held in custody, as Orion's Belt was destroyed. Vincent was horrified... His hometown was being destroyed, by the people they had vowed to protect. He opened his left eye in agony and the guard died. He burst his way out of the prison and ran down to where he sensed his father. What he saw there... Made his mind go crazy. All the people of his city were either dead, or being tortured, by the people they had sworn to protect. Someone looked at the young Vincent, and laughed at him. His eyes were closed, and his body was shaking. He could hear the screams of his family ... Wings were torn and blood flowed like a river across the floor. It washed around his bare feet... The warmness of it caressing his feet... He opened his eyes again. Nothing happened this time. No end, no darkness... Only normal sight. Blood started to come from his own arms as his veins burst on the inside. That was the moment he made the wish. Death. Death to everything... Angels... Demons... Humans... He looked directly up at the ceiling and he began to float upwards. People who were doing the torturing looked up at him and ran to his aura. The tortured just looked sadly up at him. Angel wings ripped out of his back and soaked themselve with the blood falling from the ceiling. The scar on his face began to glow and markings grew along his scarred body. He let out a scream and then... Nothing.
As a 22 year old man, he searches the globe for two reasons. To find out what happened to Merril, and to purify everything someday, so that he could live in peace with her. The power he searched for had to be somewhere, and he was desperate to find it. Though he may seem kind on the outside, his soul has decided one thing, to spend his life looking for a way to cleanse the land of hatred and suffering.
