Basics
Name:Quin(Vincent) G. Fairchild
Nicknames:Vincent(Self chosen)
Age:Fifteen
Birthday:November 8
Grade: Junior
Power:
Photographic Deduction- This ability allows him to perceive things through investigation, or mere observation of a subject, or situation and process them incredibly fast. This includes things such as body language analysis, and utilizing knowledge of an area to predict the outcome of a scenario. This form of enhanced deduction allows him to investigate or perceive his surroundings with incredible accuracy, which can further lead to his other ability. With a fair amount of focus Vincent could even determine what a person is writing based on the movement of their hands or arms, without seeing the words, given he knows the language. Similarly this acts as a basis for his actions when interacting with other individuals, and allows him to gain a fair amount of understanding of a person by viewing certain habitual traits. Considering the nature of the talent he can also use the body language analysis in conjunction with establishing certain connections to determine if someone is lying or not. If he is unable to do this upon first meeting the subject, then he would most likely be able to later on after having a better understanding of the individual. This is more-so his ability to intake, or perceive data and information around him, giving him an advantage to collecting information or planning on this in the moment. His observation allows him to predict the outcome of situations, and view potential connections and movements as significant. As well as seemingly miniscule discoveries. Along with this he has found that he can almost slow down his perception as well, marking certain actions with incredible speed and determining how they might play out. This has potential for combat capabilities, however against someone superhuman would be better for escaping considering his lack of capability in that area.
His ability to perceive and react to these things are limited to his surroundings, and the people or subjects within them. If an individual could potentially control him through persuasion, it wouldn’t matter if he perceived that or not,it, unless that was otherwise stated. Same with other forms of psychic powers. No matter how aware he is of their effects, he is just as susceptible to the.. He might recognize a certain feeling that a specific Telepath gives him when they invade his mind, but he would be powerless to stop it from happening. However, certain talents like illusions that affect his perception could potentially be broken if he were to determine that it was an illusion, but this is again dependent on the strength or nature of the power. If specified that it cannot be avoided through will power or perception, then he is helpless no matter how aware he is of the fact that it is an illusion. While he could determine if evidence has been tampered with, he is not able to conclude precisely what the evidence was. Other limitations are mostly the same as that, being limited to what he can perceive, and not being able to change certain mental or psionic scenarios based on his understanding of those situations.
Pattern Perception- This power works in partial conjunction with his Photographic Deduction. There are two parts to the ability, the beginning being analyzing a subject, place or idea. Photographic Deduction can come into place with the former two, however the analyzing of ideas is more akin to studying the concept. He is able to investigate and comprehend the nature of these things, and determine various things about them(Size, length, shape, texture, vocal patterns, common elements, etc). Later on he is able to pick up on subjects that have similar, or the same properties automatically connecting them to those he has already been exposed to. This could be connections of genetic, molecular, chemical, relations between certain subjects or concepts, and trace or analyze these things accordingly. This could potentially include inconsistencies in statements between two subjects, or potentially discovering a relation between them that he would then connect to a previous discovery. In short, this power enhances his analyzing and ability to detect connections, making it easier for him to draw conclusions on certain subjects, or follow developed patterns. (Think on the level of recognizing a footprint that he has seen before, and determining whether or not it is the same based on that, but with more complex situations.)
This ability does not allow him to draw conclusions on subjects that do not necessarily have answers, and it does not affect his understanding of the subject. He must actually recognize something to perceive the pattern. This could be on a simple level such as being able to tell the difference between a crayon and coloured pencil, or on a more complicated level such as knowing the difference in performance between two different types of acids. However, this doesn’t stop him from drawing conclusions over something he hasn’t been exposed to, it only would affect how detailed his analysis will be.
Enhanced Intelligence-This is a very self-explanatory, and simple ability. Vincent's level of comprehension, and understanding exceeds that of most people including those who are considered to have above average intelligence. While this does not necessarily enhance his ability to perform certain tasks, he has a better grasp on how to apply the knowledge that he has gained. His learning capacity, and the rate at which he acquires knowledge are both enhanced allowing him to retain more information, without the need to study for long periods of time. This gives him a vast knowledge on subjects that he has studied, and makes comprehension of other subjects easier.
As formerly stated this does not increase his ability to perform certain tasks that would require other skills or traits that he does not possess. As well as the fact that he does need to actually study the concept effectively in order to achieve understanding.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not:Not
Appearance:
The young man essentially has two forms that he identifies separately with. The first being the way he was born, and basically how he presents himself on a regular basis. He has messy blonde hair that he partially holds in place with hairclips, soft brown eyes that he hides behind round rimmed glasses, and warm coloured, fair white skin. Vincent is nowhere near tall, or muscular. People tend to mark him as weak and helpless, because of his small frame and height. It’s difficult not to considering the fact that he weighs roughly one-hundred and ten pounds, and is only about 5’3”. His poor posturing is even less helpful, as he will stand up straight when he is walking but whenever he is sitting the young man will slouch and more often than not have his knees against his chest. This includes when he is sitting in chairs, as he claims to be copying a character that he personally enjoys. This makes him appear to be ever smaller.
There are a lot of peculiar things about the way he holds himself along with certain tendencies and habits, and if it weren’t for that he might be considered attractive…Or at the very least normal. As far as mannerisms go he tends to play with his hair, or hold his hand over his mouth when he thinks. Not to mention the habit of cracking his knuckles, wrists, and sometimes rolling his shoulders to hear them pop. Slouching of course having been mentioned before, along with the fact that his countenance is usually very stoic and calm. This usually leads people to view him as detached, and a bit inconsiderate.
Clothing does not matter very much to him. He likes to look nice and clean, but at the same time the need for fashion is mostly irrelevant when you go to a school that requires a uniform. And he can’t remember a time that he hasn’t. So he tends to dress for comfort more often than not. While he tries to avoid wearing sweatpants, or sneakers he will wear comfortable boots and khakis when not in uniform. Even inside he will wear a jacket and scarf when the weather gets colder.
The other "form" that was mentioned previously is actually very simple. Vincent is what some people might label a "cross-dresser." For reasons unknown to most but himself he finds enjoyment and freedom in dressing as the opposite sex. This is something that he usually does within the comfort of his own home, or at least outside of his general circle of peers. His appearance remains unchanged for the most part, resembling a female version of himself. He wears a long wig with the same hair colour, and instead of glasses he will wear a pair of blue coloured contact lenses. Clothing-wise he has a tendency to wear a skirt, women's boots, as well as other articles that would usually be reserved for females. Occasionally he will even wear a dress. x x
Along with this, his demeanor changes as well. He feels inclined to stand and sit up straight, and will usually smile more than when he is dressed normally.
Personality
Overall Personality:[/i] different in that clothing.
Driven by his goals- Almost everything about him relates to his ultimate goal in some way. He has developed habits and personality traits either based on things that he has seen or heard of in detective novels, and movies or to make him a better investigator. His calm exterior and his careful observance of everything around him directly correlates to his desire to be a detective, and analyst.
Stoic- Vincent prides himself on not being an incredibly complicated person on the outside. While people don't necessarily know what he is thinking, they usually like to believe that he is mostly emotionless. He will do favours for you, help you with homework, give you a shoulder to cry on but he never lets that stuff affect him. He keeps his cool through the entire situation and only allows his emotions to show in when it is appropriate to, or when he is comfortable. Even then it seems incredibly toned down. He has taught himself to handle situations with level-headedness, and to avoid showing people emotional response as a defense mechanism. This way people wouldn't expect him to be examining them when he was, or won't realize that he has identified an inconsistency or a lie. This very calm demeanor can either be seen as peaceful, or apathetic based on who you ask.
This changes slightly when he is dressed differently. His expression is more relaxed, and while he does stay calm and mostly keeps to himself he will usually allow people to see his emotions more. This is because he feels like he has less to hide. To the most extent he will smile more often, and be more emotionally responsive.
Observant, and attentive- Obviously he pays very close attention to his surroundings, and doubles as a good listener. While this has most benefit as a trait of a good investigator, it also makes him a good candidate for unloading your personal issues. If those things won't potentially haunt you in the future. He is not the type of person to judge an individual based on their choices or actions, but he will not hesitate to remind them or other people of these traits if the situation warrants that. However, his ability to think very effectively and draw conclusions couple with the fact that he will pay close attention to what a person says makes him very good at problem solving.
Decisive, and cautious- Vincent does not make decisions on impulse. He will take the time to carefully consider all of his options, and how that will affect a situation before he makes a decision. With his ability to analyze and his careful thinking he usually comes up with a decision or a plan with ease, and is determined to carry that out as long as it functions as the best option. He chooses his words carefully, and he makes sure that he acts in a manner that best suits the situation so that there are few complications.
Honest/Blunt- The young man dislikes having to lie, so he tends not to do it. Even if he knows that the truth might negatively affect someone, he feels that if he can't tell the truth then he might as well not speak. In a situation where he needs to think about his response to something, instead of trying to form a lie that would better achieve his goal, he tries to find a way to be truthful while not causing too much of an issue. This cannot always be the case, and sometimes people might feel as if he is much too blunt with his opinions or responses, but he values honesty and staying true to what you believe over trying to accommodate everyone.
Assuming, and analytical- Being able to determine various things about an individual by their behaviour, including when they are lying does not necessarily mean that he will openly voice his observations. As stated before, if not truthful, then silent. He does not go out of his way to cast judgement upon someone, or even to be rude to them. However he has a tendency to categorize people based on his observation, and while this is not necessarily a malicious action some people might take offense to that. This can be as simple as noting the type of clothing they wear, and grouping them into an archetype...Which is not necessarily wrong but other people may believe that it crosses a certain line, or that he thinks lesser of them because of this process. It would be rare that he even voices these observations, however.
Introverted- He tends to avoid situations where he has to be incredibly social. He enjoys being with friends, and loves having people to discuss his thoughts or cases with. Just not consistently, and not in large doses. He enjoys the alone time to think, read, and study things that interest him. Along with being able to organize his thoughts. Being with others tends to expend too much energy, even when he is in a more comfortable setting.
Separate persona- Dressing as a female acts as more than a hobby for him. It's similar to why an individual would role play, or cosplay, or go on vacation. This is an escape from his reality in a sense. He chose the name Vincent for himself, as a means to use his real name to describe that part of him that he genuinely enjoys. The one that does not have the stress or the drive of being the best at what they do. Instead just being another person entirely, and getting to be themselves for the sake of just being.

History
Family Members/guardians: Vincent has two parents that both had incredibly busy work schedules, and an uncle that acted as his caretaker until he was sent to boarding school.
History:
Some people might think that an individual would enjoy not having their parents around constantly to bother them while growing up. Both of Vincent's parents were management consultants, traveled a lot, and had very little time to spend with him. From the time he was old enough to realize, and most likely before he spent most of his time with his uncle, who had been living with the family prior to his birth. His parents didn't trust leaving him to a nanny, or something of the sort...and his uncle was not necessarily in the most stable position financially. So in the end it worked out as a mutually beneficial living arrangement.
Growing up the young man always had an interest in books, and by the time he reached his third year of elementary school he read at a "high school," level which he never thought was much of an achievement. Though his parents felt the need to brag about it, and connected it to his uncle always reading to him. There was something that both of them knew, however, that was much more astonishing than his "reading level." Over time his uncle strayed away from actually reading to him...and would simply leave him in the office with him while he worked on cases over the night. The man worked as a crime scene investigator, and spent private time reviewing certain information in order to better grasp a situation. Once Vincent fell asleep, he would simply take him up to his bedroom. This led to the first indication that the child had something blossoming inside of him.
His uncle broke the ritual one night, when Vincent appeared to be sleeping. Instead of immediately taking the young man to his bedroom, he went to use the restroom and left the files of one of his cases open on the desk. The sound of the door closing woke the young man up, and though he had been told before to stay away from his uncle's desk felt that this was his opportunity to better understand the man's work. The images within the file would most likely have traumatized other people his age, but instead of being taken aback by the scene he instead immediately began to try and comprehend what had happened. Sheer curiosity as opposed to fear and anxiety. Without an excessive amount of detail, it took him a small amount of time to read through the information in text, and scan over the pictures of evidence to more or less comprehend what had happened. Along with disproving what he had assumed to be his uncle's conclusion on the nature of the case. Before he would have gotten caught, he slipped back to his spot on the floor with his books and pretended to sleep.
The next few days after this occurrence he had switched from reading history books, and fantasy novels to finding different crime or investigation novels that had been lying around the house. Along with eavesdropping on a conversation that his uncle had been having over the phone about the complication with his investigation. At roughly the end of the week he felt overwhelmed by the guilt of having disobeyed the man, and came clean to him about his actions. As well as indicating where exactly there were things that his uncle hadn't noticed. Expecting a punishment, he left to his room after his uncle directed him to do so, and sat pondering the situation in its entirety. Once the man entered his room however, he calmly praised him for his discovery, and told him that he was gifted. Though this gift was mostly what they believed to be a skill of observation.
As time went on the young man became more interested in crime stories, and made a habit out of watching the news, as well as dateline. While he never struggled in school he felt driven by his desire to better himself to focus more, and absorbed the teaching naturally as if it by some force beyond his own mental power. Along with the fact that his uncle became more open about what he was working on, helping and teaching him what he knew about proper investigation. Soon his parents recognized that he was exceeding average parameters in his schooling, and decided to put him into boarding school for his sixth year. Shipping him off from American, to England where he would spend the next four years.
Within that time he believed to be grooming himself to become the "world's greatest detective," and tried to form develop to fit that role. He would investigate gossip of his fellow students, and would either keep it to himself, or when he recognized a harmful false claim would disprove it. Some found this rude and intrusive, while other people greatly appreciated his capabilities. It was this time as well that he discovered that his talents were not only incredible, but exceeded certain human parameters as well. He found when something was out of place that he noticed it almost immediately, and when other students were working on bubbling tests, he could tell from their posturing where they were on the paper, and how they answered. For obvious reasons he preferred to do the work himself, however. Even witnessing a fight between two other students, he could assess based on their body language and movement how they might attack each other, and how they would respond. This he tried to keep to himself.
The last discovery that he made during this time began as an experiment. He had believed that perhaps being able to disguise himself might be beneficial to his future prowess. So he began to dress in women's clothing...And at first he spent the time trying to copy gestures and vocal patterns, as well as the way they walked. He convinced a decent amount of people that he actually had a twin sister. However, over time he found that he was simply more comfortable in the clothing...Almost like he was a different person. This led him to give his normal persona a different, more masculine name, though he didn't tell the other students that was the reasoning.
The end of his old life was sadly the end of his uncle being allowed in his parent's home. One holiday his uncle invited the young man to help him sort through the evidence for a case that he had been working on, and they were caught by his parents. Through this situation it was revealed to his parents the nature of their activities over the years. This not only angered them enough to ask him to leave their home, but also to notify his superiors of the circumstance. While this didn't necessarily have much consequence for his uncle, it did accidentally open questions about Vincent's true capabilities. Something that could have gone perfectly unnoticed became a subject of interest, and was investigated by the same people who brought him to where he is now. The beginning of his new life.

RP Sample:
Albin Lamarck- Objectsexual, white rapper from Imagine Fairy Tails, an FT Roleplay
Albin hadn't been sitting around for too long doing nothing. There was a span of time where he tried to figure out what he was actually supposed to be doing, but it became fairly clear to him that he had to kick of the mission with all he had to offer. This quick decisions was so quick and decisive that he didn't even actually think about it for that long. Are you asking for a measurement? That span of time was a matter of seconds. The Messiah doesn't waste time. Not his own time, and unless it was for some means of annoying another person for entertainment, not the time of others either.
In order to make sense of the jumbled mess going on Albin entered the warehouse making the journey there from Oak Town. Covering the grounds was not what he had hoped...In all reality he should not have expected that this might be a warehouse filled with unopened merchandise of a certain, more playful nature. Trinkets, and novelties that he might have been able to better help take off of the owner's hands...And put delicately on his shelves at home, to be entertained by on another day. But of course it was just a bunch of junk. Not even weapons...Which might have been more ideal...but metal, and wood, and boxes, and scrap. Nothing soft, and certainly nothing well designed and sharp.
Continuing from there, despite his disappointment the young man found that he had to get through the work quickly. Missions had a tendency to equate to experience, and money...Money would give him the ability to purchase things that he wanted. Which is admittedly not as easy as stealing them, which he has done before, but is discouraged for some reason within his guild. Whether or not he understood this, it was in his best interest to follow their best interest...Within certain parameters.
He was wearing his usual attire instead of his Cowl. While he preferred to dress in a way that reminded people of his status, he found that it might be uncomfortable to clean in such an outfit. So he stuck with some black jeans, a black wife beater, and obviously his shades to hide his piercing orange viewing orbs. This was much more comfortable for him as he lifted up the heavy scraps, and varying junk taking it out of the warehouse to be loaded. Not really noticing the girl, who happened to be his guild-mate on the way out. He was focused on spitting sick fire.
"Something...About...Puppets...Maybe stuffed animals. Definitely not swords.
Do I hype up the crowd, or? No one to drop a beat...Boom...tsss..ba-boom...tssss...Nah...Where is Kyler? That guy can drop a pretty tight sound sequence...
Hold on, listen up. Play time is over.
Lamarck working is as rare as a four-leaf clover
Which means if you actually took a little time, it's not rare at all.
I'm labouring tirelessly, because I want to see the rest of you fall-
Down to your knees, and pray to me.
The Messiah, the King, and maybe Martyr to be
But really only in your wildest dreams
Because dying for your sins sounds like dying for free
That was pretty weak...It's all good, though. Work in progress. And I don't have a beat or anything."
