Out Of Character: Thrice Said & Thrice Done.

Three Things Vicent Wants:

1) To Survive His Final Year Without Owning Samael Any More Then He Does. 

He was doing so well resisting the urge to use his gift and now he's practically ready to throw himself under a bus to use his self-destructive powers. This needs to change if he is going to survive, and he knows it.

2) To Keep Robin AND Israel Safe. 

This is because he views them as family, the only people he truly cares for in the universe...He'll do anything to keep them safe, even if it means sacrificing himself in the process. (It's kind of at war with "Want Number 1", but he can't imagine watching them die.)

3)To Get Revenge On Those Who Deserve It. (Red Cap, Ardath, and even Chantel to a degree.)

This is mostly a character thing because he has serious problems with people manipulating other people for their own gains. (Sound familiar?) So, he wants to kill if not seriously ruin Recap, bring Ardath to his knees, and make Chantel apologize sincerely for her mistakes. (She's starting to grow on him though.)

Three Obstacles in Vincent's Life:

1) Samael. Nuff said?

Samael wants nothing more then to watch Vincent go out in a fiery blaze of glory. (Not before getting an heir out of him of course.) This means that Samael is really Vicent's best friend and arch nemisis in all things...Vincent's self destructiveness stems from his need to use Samael. Vincent's come to rely on him to give him the power to face even darker foes, and now that Vincent has things to lose that are precious to him, it seems Samael may get what he wants after all.

2) His Desire to Protect/His Desire to Control

This is possibly the biggest/most unusual thing for Vincent to face. He's never had to look out for anyone but himself, but now he has something/some people he cares about--to lose. His first reaction? To instinctively protect them no matter the cost.

Too many things have been out of Vincent's control in his life, (his father dying, being saddled with Samael etc.)--so, he wants to ensure that things/people that are dear to him are close at hand and safe. Even if that means using Samael to see it done.

3) Small Pond, REALLY Big Fish

Let's face it, Vincent is in WAAAY over his demon-junkie head. He doesn't have enough power to tangle with the powerful denizens that have been creeping up on his turf lately, unless he resorts to an even worse power, Samael.  

 He simply doesn't have the supernatural backing/oomph to see his will done, and so he will probably have to sell out to an even MORE powerful, even MORE Evil being to retain his position as a major player....And that as we all know, is not going to be very good for him at all.

Three Secrets Vincent Wants to Keep From the Party:

1) He's Afraid.

Let's face it, he used to think he was king-shit until other supernaturals started kicking his teeth in. Samael used to ensure that his power was almost unmatched in terms of what could and could not be done. Now? He is powerless to stop anything from happening (at least, he believes he is) and his life is not in his control.
Vincent has been made to face up to his mortality and it scares him. There is nothing pleasant on the other-side for Vincent, only Hell. (Literally.) But, he plays the tough guy because if he shows any weakness, he knows that someone will exploit it. (Viciously.)

2) He Knows That He's Not Going to Live Happily Ever After.

Facing mortality has made Vincent realize that despite his best efforts, whatever his end, it will not be a pretty one. He's slowly realizing that he might have to sacrifice everything to keep what's important to himself safe....BUT that it might be safer to get out while the going is good.

Regardless, he knows without a doubt--He won't survive if he stays, but he couldn't live with himself if he left.

3) He's MORE Then Willing to Sell Out To Something Stronger.

Knowing all of this and hating himself for it, he is secretly thinking about calling Samael and making an even worse deal with something greater to help him sort out his current problems. He's even willing to change or take worse risks to make it happen. (Perhaps picking up the Ghoul Template and becoming something like a fully fledged Demon?)  It would be his ultimate sacrifice as a mortal,  but he would do it to keep his friends safe from his slowly multiplying enemies.

THAT'S NICE LEIGHTON, BUT THIS IS WHAT I, WANT.
 
THINGS SAMAEL WANTS:

1) HOUSE OF GODFRIED SOULS.

2) VINCENT GODFRIED'S TEARS.

3) THE DELECTABLE LITTLE MORTAL ROBIN.

OBSTACLES IN MY WAY:

1) NOTHING.

2)NO ONE.

3) NOT EVEN THAT "DRAGON SLAYER" RED CAP.

SECRETS SAMAEL DOESN'T WANT THE OTHERS TO KNOW:


1) I HAVE BETS ON ALL OF THE SILLY LITTLE MONSTERS, WITH ALL MY DEMON BUDDIES. (I'M STILL WINNING.)

2) MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE GODFRIED BOYS TO THE YARD. (AND THEIR WHOLE FAMILY DYNASTY TOO.)

3) IT GETS SO LONELY, BEING EVIL. WHAT I'D DO TO SEE A SMILE....EVEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE...AND NO ONE LOVES YOU WHEN YOU'RE EVIL.

I'M LYING THROUGH MY TEETH. 
YOUR TEARS ARE ALL THE COMFORTING I NEED.
