History
Reinhardt Renauld and Sigrid Rose were brought together by significant circumstances. They met when they were fairly young - Around fifteen years of age for both of them. Reinhardt's father was an officer in Sol City. Sigrid was the sole witness to her entire family’s murder. Rein's father was called to the scene of an unusual site. Sigrid was the only survivor of an unexplainable wave of death throughout her home, which killed her mother, father, and three siblings. While attempting their best to find the cause and explanation for such a site, eventually the police were forced to give up the investigation to a third party
The Third Party ruled it an accident, after a long and terrifying trial where Sigrid was the assumed guilty party. Still, afterward, Sigrid told Reinhardt that she had to leave. And she did. For seven years. Reinhardt and Sigrid still stayed in contact, as he was Sigrid's only real outlet to what happened - In her own words, if anyone else found out she'd just as well join her family. Over the years, Reinhardt and Sigrid grew closer and closer, until one year, Sigrid came home to Reinhardt, and the two had a passionate night where they consummated their relationship. They were happy for a few years. Sigrid had her demands, but Reinhardt accepted her for who she was. Everything was great until Sigrid became pregnant.
Sigrid wasn't ready for a family, and while Reinhardt was overjoyed, Sigrid couldn't help but hate herself - And this child. She didn't want it, as all she thought of was how it could lead to the death of her beloved and herself, much like she was to her own family. Somehow, Reinhardt convinced her to keep the child, who then was found out to be a boy. Reinhardt, being overly excited, picked a name for the child; Vinzent Barnabus Renauld. Sigrid, on the other hand, didn't care for the child, not even after he was born. Sigrid neglected her child, returning to work within the week of having the child, thus forcing Reinhardt to take care of him alone. After four years of this, Reinhardt grew fed up with her uncaring attitude towards the child. He threatened to leave unless she changed.
Seeing this child now as a threat to her marriage and her relationship with Reinhardt, after a long and convoluted argument she threatened to end Vinzent's life- And her own - if Reinhardt left. Seeing her now as insane and unable to take care of the child, Reinhardt had left, not trusting Sigrid around their child anymore. Reinhardt, with Vinzent in tow, fled his insane wife and took refuge in Stormgale.
Everything in Stormgale was good for a couple of years. After some freak accidents when Vinzent turned six, Reinhardt found himself with the understanding that Vinzent was a child of power, having a special ability for magic. At first, Reinhardt didn't believe it, but then impossible things started happening, and Reinhardt had to accept the child for who he was. Not any moment later, either, because it was that next year, the day after Vinzent turned seven, that their past came back to haunt them.
Sigrid didn't stop looking for her lover and the thing that ruined her marriage. The anger that she felt towards both of them grew. How dare Rein leave her, for that thing! Sigrid couldn't help but grow angry towards both of them, and wanted to see them both suffer for their actions, so Sigrid found Reinhardt and Vinzent and went in expecting no survivors. Sigrid burnt down the home after she killed Reinhardt in cold blood. She would have made sure Vinzent was dead as well, but before she could find him, she succumbed to the flames. Vinzent was lucky that the officers found the house in time. But, instead of getting caught with two burnt bodies in a house, with him being the only survivor, Vinzent ran.
After that, Vinny knew he couldn't go back. People probably assumed he was dead anyways. Vinzent would make his way through the streets and would find himself in Sky Peak. He knew he could make it there, so he found a place to rest. During the days, he used his boyish charms to gather food and money. The eight-year-old is doing all he can.
Vinzent found himself making quite a name for himself in Sky Peak. After initially recovering from (And blocking out) what had happened, Vinny found himself on the streets with some kids, all of whom were also, just simply surviving. He integrated himself in with them, and as he slowly became one of the older kids, with his skills increasing, in both magic and survival skills, he took on the role of becoming their guardian of sorts. Vinzent found a place in the world for himself, and while he did need to occasionally travel outside of Sky Peak, most of the time to help other kids, he found himself quite comfortable.
Personality
Over the years, Vinzent has had one thing constant; His lack of being able to trust others. This does not mean he can't, just that it is very very difficult for him to pull down his walls. He has friends, ad he has people he trusts, just... not too much. He constantly has to remind himself not to get too close, or life does it for him. His walls are a hard thing to pull down, but despite having been unwilling to let them down in the years after his family's death, he has grown to trust his own guts when it comes to people. In fact, he's learned to trust his guts with most things. Taking risks, doing certain things, keeping a look out for danger. It's become a second sense for him to just simply be on alert, on all times, no matter what. Vinny has grown into kindness- After he began opening up a little to certain people, he grew into a role of caretaker with other kids he had met on the street, and new kids in school. But he still has that very bad habit of not keeping people close. He hasn't had very many consistent relationships, romantic or not, nor does he see himself in one. What he does see is a glimmer of hope for his future. While the world is stll dark and he's still scarred keeping most at an arm's length, if even that, he remembers that kindness is okay. Overall, he himself is stil the most important aspect of his life. While he's still not a trusting person, nor is he to be trusted easily, he remembers that not all kindness is weakness, and it's okay to protect others.
protect him at all cost. (can’t use discord anymore so making use of this here)
