Overall Personality:
On a good day, Vance is tolerable at best. He can be the life of the party, wild and carefree, with a tendency to act impulsively, and throw concerns aside for nights with a kind of wild abandon that can only be described as reckless. “Too much” isn’t even within the realm of his imagination, and because of this he frequently wakes up the morning after a night out with little to no recollection of what happened the night before. However, on a bad day, it isn’t pretty. His quick temper and smart tongue easily cause several disagreements, and more than a few physical fights.

However, he has walked away from a few fights in the past. When he knows fighting isn’t an option, he turns on the charm and uses that particularly talented tongue of his to spin lies and weave a story. He can talk himself down from any almost bad situation in this way. Just like he can usually charm most women. He can spin stories and make empty promises like nobody else, and he’s found himself in some pretty sticky situations because of it. The only person who breaks through his hard shell is his baby sister. She is the one person he will do anything for, and he’s not afraid to do it.

Overall History:
Nobody would have guessed that Vance Salvatore would turn out the way he did. Born in 2008, he was the middle child and the first and only son to join the Salvatore family. His older sister, Cora, was born four years before him, and they had never really gotten along; she was used to being spoiled, being the only child, and with the new baby came less attention. When he was two, a little sister was born, Nellie. Instantly, he felt a bond with her, and they spent all their time together as soon as she was old enough. He even shared his Legos with her when he was keeping an eye on her for his mother, and for the young boy, that was a big deal. When he was seven, Cora went away to school, to Hogwarts, but while he kind of missed having his older sister around, she wasn’t exactly the nicest sibling, and he couldn’t help but be a little happy that it was just him and Nellie. Still, he made sure to tell his younger sister that Cora wouldn’t be gone forever, and that their parents had told him that she would be back for the summer. While Cora was gone, he and Nellie grew even closer, doing everything together, since they only really had one another.

However, four short years later, it was his turn to go to school. A part of him didn’t really want to go; he wanted to stay with his sister and keep an eye on her. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his parents to raise her, he was just a little worried. After all, they were often busy, and he had spent more time with Nellie than the both of them combined. Still, he didn’t really have a choice in the matter, and after a while, he began to get a little excited about the prospect of going away, to the same school that his parents had gone. Of course he went to Diagon Alley, accompanied by his parents and both of his sisters, but the real excitement came when it was time to board the Hogwarts Express. Of course he gave his sister a hug and swore he would write her all the time, a promise he intended to keep. However, he quickly got distracted. It wasn’t that he talked to a lot of people on the way to the castle, but he just couldn’t contain his excitement, much to his older sister’s dismay. He was sorted into Slytherin house, though his sister was in Ravenclaw, and started making friends. Quickly, he learned that there weren’t exactly a lot of close-knit friends to be made within his own house. Slytherin was a house of ambition and manipulation, and he decided that instead of trying to make “lasting friendships”, he would cash in on what was expected of him.

It was in his fourth year that Vance fell into the “wrong” crowd, and a few of the older students began inviting him to parties. It was through these friends that he was introduced to the drugs and alcohol that would later become such a huge part of his life. In the beginning, he only drank or did marijuana when he went to the parties, and never in large quantities. However, as he started getting invited to more and more parties, he was drinking more and more alcohol, and he slipped from just marijuana to harder drugs, particularly prescription medication bought from older students or stolen from his parents, though he used other controlled narcotics as well. He tried keeping it away from his baby sister, tried hiding that part of his life from her, but when she started acting just as shady as he knew he probably did, he knew he hadn’t succeeded. It wasn’t until his sixth year that his worst fears came true. It was just after a holiday vacation, near the end of the year, when he had found her out by the Shrieking Shack, unconscious, with one of the pills that she had taken from their father’s medicine cabinet still in hand. He never forgot that night.

Of course, the trouble wasn’t over. Their parents got divorced after his seventh year, when he was already in the last stages of moving into his own apartment in Hogsmeade, near the Hog’s Head, where he had gotten a job as a bartender. That night, he had gone to the family home, with the intention of getting the last of his things, with a bad feeling that he just couldn’t seem to shake. It felt like there was something wrong, and it was a feeling that was proven true when he walked through the door. Nellie was on the ground, covered in blood and curled up in the fetal position as their father stood over her, his hand raised mid-hit. It took him all of about thirty seconds to process the situation, to figure out what was going on, and for his temper and need to protect his little sister to appear. In other words, he completely lost it. That night, he had beaten his father bloody, and probably would have killed him if it hadn’t kicked in that Nellie needed to get to the hospital. He kept a close eye on his little sister after that; Nellie was the only person who mattered in his life, and if anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself.
