Nickname: Van, Pain in the ass (thank you Vaughn!), Thing #1, rendering Vaughn The Thing 2
Age: 16
Birthplace: Mysteria, North Dakota
Sex: Male
Occupation: Student
Appearance: Identical to his younger brother (by an entire three minutes mind you), he shares the same blonde hair, blue eyes and devious smile. He's 5'5" tall and 150. Not very athletic, but not overweight, he's your average kid who hasn't gone through his growth spurt yet. He likes to experiment with his hair, though it usually resists any attempts he makes with it.
Like his twin, he's a jeans and t-shirt type, though the difference is Van usually has the name of bands on his shirts rather than games. Music is more his thing.
Personality: Van is the more outspoken of the Fitzwilliam brothers, blunt to the point of rudeness. He's also a bit of a hustler, trickster, and general trouble maker, doing anything he can to get a laugh and paid while doing it.
He does fairly well in school, but his attention span is so low, he often gets in trouble. It's due to boredom, him trying to keep himself entertained. Because other than his brothers? That's what comes first, making things interesting.
He finds the female species extremely interesting. He would have a new girl for every week if he could, though they don't respond with the same enthusiasm. He does however, love a challenge. Be it the school rules or a girl who doesn't seem interested, he's the first in line to climb over that wall....and knock anyone who's in his way aside.
However that self-centeredness is forgotten when it comes to his brothers, especially his twin. He's very protective of Vaughn, and they're the only thing he would sacrifice anything for.
Special abilities/talents:
Music. It's always moving, always changing, and there are a billion different ways to mix it up. So Van is naturally in love with it. Thankfully his skill matches his passion.
Supernatural Affinity: Species/Group: Human Power(s): Air elemental Level: Level 2 Affiliation/Rank: N/A Preferred Prey: N/A
History: Vance was first born of the Fitzwilliam twins, and he will never forget it. When his brother couldn't get that sippy cup of his? For some strange reason the wind would knock it over, as if trying to reach Vaughn. As he got older, he realized that he had the ability to call on the element, bend it, just as his older brother did earth and and his twin did water.
He took his responsibility as the older twin seriously, and when Fax was born, with him as well. Whenever they got into trouble, he made sure that Vaughn didn't get the brunt of it, stopping when even he wasn't ready to. If he saw a tempest rising in his younger brother, he was the one to wind him down, help. First and foremost is his twin.
And of course, the rest of his brothers as well. Even after a bumpy start with Tate, they all got along eventually. Once Fax was born, and diagnosed mute, he learned to sign from his elder brothers to communicate with him. He also finally had a brother who appreciated music like he did. He learned to play a variety of instruments, mix music and sing.
His parents were very protective of Vaughn and Fax, and proud of Tate...so Van had a tendency to rebel to get his share of attention. Not something he consciously did, yet when it happened? He did it with flavor. Due to the fact that he was slightly attention deprived and had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (though undiagnosed for a long time), he found himself getting in trouble a lot, only hanging back if he was worried it was too much. However once he was diagnosed and his parents started paying more attention to him? He regretted it.
Vaughn and Vance are very close, skateboarding into trouble right along his brother. They're eachothers solace from their overbearing parents. If only their parents knew about half the hustling and tricks Van plays, they'd worry even more than they do. Flaws: Van has ADHD. It gets him in trouble more often than not, though he does treat it, due to the insistence of his parents.
Persistent Parents - His mother especially tries to do everything she can to slow Van down, keep him in line. He sees these rules his parents set for him as obstacles to work around.
Trouble Maker - Van is a pranking prodigy. The biggest, the loudest, sometimes not even legal is what he delivers.
Merits: Loyalty - He's intensely devoted to his family and friends, going to whatever ends necessary to make them happy. He doesn't care what rules he has to bend, break or leap over to do it.
Musical aptitude - Give the guy and instrument and a little time, he'll give you a work of art.
Intelligence - Because his attention span is short, he's not seen as the academic sort, but actually is quite intelligent, processing thoughts quickly and understanding just as fast.
