"You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw but that never hurt no one

Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
Only the good die young"

THE BLACKTHORN BOY

I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay

Name
Vincent Benjamin Kelley

Nickname
Vince

Age
18

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Appearance
Lorenzo Zurzolo

Personality
To the students of Gallagher Academy, Vince is the nerdy "nephew" of Headmistress Argent who just appeared in school one day, that is all that is really given about him. No one knows much about him except he's really smart and rather quiet, ultimately leading to the majority of the girls having a crush on the mysterious boy. Of course, they don't know the real him or his infamous upbringing.

Vince is a man with many, complex layers. Once you think you've peeled a piece off there's about twenty other more. No one has been able to get close with him, as he was raised from a very young age to be like that. He can be seen as both good and bad, as he doesn't know where he belongs. Vince enjoys it greatly in Roseville but he was not raised there, he was raised at Blackthorn. Due to that, he has often struggled with his identity and who he wants to become. He sees nothing wrong with his past and actions but knows that he is more than what Blackthorne raised him to be.

One thing that is evident with Vince is his intelligence. His knowledge is incredibly vast, and he will let you know that. Vince is very prideful and is by no means modest. He will correct you and will do what he sees is right no matter what. He is also a very good spy and assassin because of this. Blackthorn trained him well, but Gallagher Academy has started to show him a better viewpoint for his life. Vince has a habit of being moody and grumpy the majority of the time, often because he just wants to be left alone.

Vince can sometimes come off with a sarcastic and witty attitude, seeing the world with pessimistic eyes. It would make sense because there's not a lot in his life that would make him see otherwise. Though his jokes are rare, they are often either dark or very dry. Once he's hung around you more often he becomes more laid back and more like his usual self instead of putting on a mask, after all, we all tell lies to ourselves and those around us.

A thing that most people don't know about him is that he has very good leadership qualities. Vince may be quiet but he is by no means shy. He will tell people off and will command a situation if it calls for it. This side of him is more strict and cold than you normally see him, never letting emotions cloud his judgment or actions.

Flaws/Fears
Vince can be a very cold and emotionless person, one moment you can be talking, and then next he shuts off without letting you know why. Being taught to stay to himself, it is hard to pry information out of him. People have often described him as a feral cat that will hiss at you then moments later come towards you in search of a home. He is not the kind of person to engage in social activities unless he needs to as well.

Hobbies
Training, fighting, being in the lab, driving, coding, pulling all-nighters, etc.

Backstory
If you ask Vince for his background he'll probably say it's classified, as is much of his personal information. It would take a while to learn the history of  Vincent Kelley. To start it off, the father of Cristina Goode, Matthew Goode, had quite a few affairs during the years his daughter thought he was dead. As a result, Vincent was born to some fling before everything went down.

Wanting to keep his son hidden to finish his work, Matthew sent Vincent to Blackthorn Institute as a child. Everyone who has the clearance level for it knows that it is not the place for a child, but Vincent was born and raised surrounded by death and violence, hearing stories and rumors about his half-sister and her group of friends.

It was there that he was taught to assemble a rïffle and break codes even the best hackers couldn't do. With all the things he had to do, one might think he didn't have enough time to do other things but rather he spent as much time as he could to find any information on his birth mother. Only hours away, his sister was searching for him.

While he was on a mission for Blackthorn, the continuation of one that had gotten sidetracked before, Vincent was suddenly pulled into a van. The blonde that sat inside he knew immediately. Adjusting his life was extremely hard, but through the help of Gallagher Academy and his sister, he was able to start to change for the better. Still, he is tormented from his dark past.

Other
—always wears a ring that was given to his from his father
—often gets nightmares of his time spent at Blackthorn so doesn't usually sleep at night
—likes his cover at Gallagher Academy since people leave him alone
—excellent student but he hates doing homework
—has a bad scar on his lower back

THE 'IT' GIRL

I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no more use in running
This is something I gotta face

Name
Guinevere Juliet Wilde

Nickname
Gwen

Age
18

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Appearance
Katherine McNamara

Personality
To everyone at the school, Guinevere is the 'it' girl. The one who gets high marks in all her classes, who all the teachers love, and who the younger kids strive to be. With all the darkness in her past, she's tried to move away and not become like her parents but rather become a person that does good in this world. She's seen what kind of horrible people live in this world and wants to do all she can to turn away from it and make the world a better place. But, she is still fighting her own battles.

Gwen is someone who is extremely passionate and determined. She can set herself to do something and get it done, as she is never one to procrastinate. This has to lead to her going from the smart troubled girl who can't throw a punch to the top student at Gallagher Academy. Being extremely perceptive, there is very little that can get past Gwen.

She enjoys being a role model at school and is always a positive and strong member of the community, able to keep her head cleared and focused no matter what. People don't dislike her because she's so good, rather many go to her for advice and tutoring. And she helps them all because she wants to give them what she was never given. Gallagher Academy has become a haven for her and all her problems, allowing herself to put on her perfect facade and become the skilled student she is, not a daughter of divorced parents with gambling and alcohol problems.

Gwen can be seen walking the halls with her head up high and a friendly but focused smile on her face. No one knows about her past and she keeps it that way. The effects of her past are small but clear of you know how to pick up on them. Due to her money troubles, she often becomes cautious around spending things, especially if they are expensive. Gwen never allows attention to fully be on her and almost rarely talks about herself.

Flaws/Fears
Gwen has a huge fear of closed spaces after all the time she's spent in the closets hiding from gangsters and gambling bookies. Over time, she's tried to talk about her past and overcome this, as well as her family problems and the event, but it's extremely hard for her. It is also hard for her to accept failure and defeat.

Hobbies
Studying, fighting, shopping, planning, hanging out in the library, etc.

Backstory
Guinevere Wilde was born an ordinary person, no spies, no rogue agents, nothing, in the Midwest. She was a little country gal to a set of parents who weren't ready for the responsibility of a little girl. To make matters short, her parents were not a match made in heaven. A troubling relationship that was doomed from the start grew worse once things went too far but they decided to try and make it work. Little Gwen grew up moving from apartment to apartment with just about five toys due to money problems, as well as many other problems.

At the time, she didn't know of the troubles her parents were in, she just knew that she couldn't get the barbie doll she wanted. That was one of the reasons that led to the little girl spending so much time in the library, reading all the books her heart could contend. A way to escape the constant fighting of Jean and Leo Wilkes, so she could make mommy and daddy happy. The librarians often wondered why Gwen did not play with many friends but she was off to a new city before they could help

It wasn't until she was ten that Gwen became aware of her father's gambling problem, it was at that age that she lived with her mother on the weekdays and her father on the weekends. Her father moved from city to city, never very far away, but Gwen kept on changing school systems every time. There were a couple of circumstances that men came to see her father and she was told to hide in the closet, those were memories she would never forget. They would shout and ask for money, finally leaving after causing a mess of the apartment.

Her life started to turn around after she took a state test and had incredible markings. A man in a nice suit and a nice lady then came to visit her, telling her of the Gallagher Academy. It wasn't until she actually got there that she realized it would become her safe haven. She loved the school with all her heart, quickly becoming one of the best students. Wanting to make a difference and help her parents, she did all she could to become the best student she could be.

At the age of fifteen, men came to her door again but this time she wasn't hiding in the closet, she was home alone. Freshly out of school, she knew what to do in order to defend herself. She never imagined that things were going to grow worse. That they planned on taking her for ransom. So, she did the only thing she knew how and it resulted in two men dead in her apartment.

The police did not press any charges, as she was assaulted, but the memories haunted her. Back at school, although the staff and teachers knew what happened over her summer break the students never learned, and she intended to keep it that way. Since the event, she's been avoiding her parents more and more, but they and their problems are starting to become her problems more and more.

Other
—can often be found in the library, it's basically her safe haven
—has a tattoo on her back of the Gallagher sword
—loves to wear heels
—a bit of a flirt but doesn't believe in love
—her hair is naturally blonde

SCENARIO ONE

[ last time we had Jessica, Chris(?), Vince, and Gwen. Jessica was a "transfer student" from Reign who has all her troubles from James and the evilness of her old school and past assignments and stuff from what I remember. She is supposedly reported dead. Chris got into some shady business for people who are after Jessica. A lot of stuff unknown between those people. Vince comes from Blackthorn and is Crissy's half-brother. He has a lot of trouble because of Blackthorn and on one mission he had to steal something from this crime syndicate/gang, they know are out for him, but who isn't after him because of the missions he had to do there. The gang is also out for Gwen because of her father's debts and because she killed some of their guys. Gwen's father is currently missing/in hiding but she doesn't know that. The crime syndicate is probably going to be a bigger thing and at some point, it was planned that they were going to kidnap and brainwash Gwen to have her act as a mole to get to Vince and everyone else basically because they're evil and that's what evil people do ]
