Personality: Vance is a realist. He will not take any risks he deems unnecessary, meaning if the odds are stacked against his favor, he’d rather flee than fight. He considers any possibility in a situation and takes the most logical route. That said, he can get fairly impassioned at times, such as when his pride is heavily on the line; it takes a lot to take him out of his element, though sensitive topics in relation to his past typically will outdo him. He has dealt with trauma and uses humor to cope. He is witty and enjoys making quips at other people’s expense, usually behind their backs; however, he is good at mediation and can typically prevent a situation from escalating. Vance picks his own fights usually. He takes pride in his technical skills and likes to fiddle with different gadgets to uncover their inner workings. He is crafty and manipulative to an extent. He is prejudiced against people that he deems privileged and people who make excuses for their problems. He is hypocritical and at times, offensive and insensitive without realizing it. He can be perceived as haughty and even cruel, though he’s nice enough to the people he considers allies and willing to work with others and put aside his own prejudices through compromise.

Backstory: Vance grew up in the suburbs of District 6 and became a worker at the age of six. His small size enabled him to reach the nooks and crannies the adults couldn’t. Unfortunately, this led to him becoming deaf in his left ear due to a large disturbance that nearly killed him. The same incident left a small indentation on his forehead, which never fully healed. The accident left him fairly paranoid for a couple of years, though he was eventually able to overcome the trauma. He never stopped working. He went to school in the morning and went back to being a porter in the afternoon. He didn’t complain much, it’s just what was expected of him. His work molded his wit. Being surrounded by adults and eavesdropping on their illicit conversations gifted him with a fair sense of wit that he would sharpen throughout the years. On his breaks, he would fiddle with gadgets or play with his slingshot. He developed decent aim and had ambitions of becoming an inventor, which fizzled out as he grew more jaded. His curiosity never faded though. He has an older brother named Pollock and a younger brother named York. His father died from cancer when he was four and his mother, who everyone refers to as Lucky Jane, did her best in raising him. Given that her husband died though, her sons had no choice but to work in order to survive. When Vance was 15 he became disillusioned when he came across a corner and witnessed a woman being assaulted and raped by an older man. He didn’t do anything to stop him and just watched, transfixed and petrified in fear and cowardice. The experience greatly traumatized him. The subject is touchy to him and he told no one what happened, keeping it to himself. This experience also made him prejudiced to people who are privileged and make excuses for themselves. He became increasingly more violent and partook in street fights, though he always managed to flee before the Peacekeepers could get to him. He became adept at using a dagger and drew blood before, but he has never killed. A year later, he stopped and became calmer, albeit a little uneasy still. At the age of 17, he was reaped for the Hunger Games.
