Name: Vitrum Tempus
Color (Theme): Silvers, golds, and browns.
Allusion: Vitrum alludes to father time.
Affiliation: Vitrum has worked with the White Fang, Atlas, Vale, Vacuo, and Mistral but he is part of his own private organization dubbed the âClockwork Foundationâ
Age: 45 but he looks like he is in his mid twenties.
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Symbol: A broken gold hourglass.
Appearance: Vitrum is a tall slender man with a lean build, his height coming up to around 6â5â with his weight being 200lb. His long dirty blonde hair is a bit messy looking, very soft and somewhat fluffy, and is almost always pulled back into a ponytail with the bangs left down. His eyes are a soft sandy yellow color and finally his skin is lightly tanned.
His body type might look slim and lean but he does has strength behind that fit figure of his. Plus despite his age he is quite youthful looking, to an almost unnatural extent. Their skin has no blemishes or scars, no tattoos, and no piercings.
His clothing consists of a fancy brown Coat Tail jacket that sits atop a slim fitting sandy gold dress shirt with silver buttons. For pants he wears a pair of brown slim fitting dress pants with a sandy gold colored belt that has a silver buckle. His shoes are a pair of brown dress shoes with gold accents. Finally he owns a brown wood cane with a golden hourglass grip.
Background/History: Vitrums mother and father were both eccentric, though not insanely rich, more so wealthy enough to live a comfortable life.
When Vitrum was around 5 years old him and one day his parents decided to surprise their son with a trip to a museum in Vacuo. Apparently there was a new exhibit being displayed and, being the history buff he was, Vitrum had been wanting to see it for weeks. So they packed up and took a trip to Vacuo. When they arrived they went to see the exhibit as soon as they could. The exhibit was a large fire dust crystal adorned with gold and silver. But the person who put it on display didn't remember to activate the shielding that blocked out all forms of energy. Because of this and because of the large number of people being near the display the large concentration of aura activated the dust crystal thus causing an explosion.
The explosion ended up killing Vitrums parents and put him in a coma. Around 30 years passed before he eventually woke up. When he learned of how much time had passed and that his family was gone he fell into a long depression that lasted a good year or so. When he finally came out of his depression he started working on catching up since he still had the mind of a 5 year old, albeit a very smart and bright 5 year old.
After spending a good 4 years learning and experiencing life as an adult he was finally eligible enough to receive his inheritance and insurance money. But he had no idea what to do with it and left it alone for the time being. During the four years he spent learning he slowly adapted to regular life and eventually returned to his family's home, some of the workers he knew as a kid still tending to it.
During his last few days of learning Vitrum experienced an accident that caused him harm, quickly one of his workers who he saw as a close friend came to help. But upon touching Vitrums hand he began to shrivel up as sand pooled beneath him. Vitrums semblance had shown itself to heal his wound at the cost of his friend.
To try and help Vitrum began scooping up the sand thinking it could help, pouring the stuff over his friend's body. The sand glimmered and was eventually absorbed into his friend. Sadly it didn't work and he perished soon after.
Many events happened after that and eventually Vitrum started his own company, The Clockwork Foundation, which specialised in aura based healing technology. Because of his semblance he used his company as an explanation for how he was able to heal so many people. His company was in a sense a cover for his actual plans, which were stealing the life from those who didn't deserve it only to give it to those who did. Currently he is working on building a machine to amplify his semblance so he can steal the life/years from everyone attending the Vytal festival.
Personality: Vitrum is a naturally kind man, he enjoys attending charity events, visiting hospitals, and helping anyone he can. He just has a strong hatred for those who waste their life on foolish things since a large portion of his life was taken from him.
Just like his parents he is an eccentric man with a love for classical things and his childhood love of history still lingers. He tends to daydream a lot and can be seen sitting in his garden thinking about what he missed during the years he was in a Coma.
He is also manipulative and cunning, using his semblance to bribe or coax people into joining his cause. He also uses his semblance to gain favors and immunity from the authorities, though he makes sure not to tell people how his semblance works since nobody wants stolen years. Plus he finds the method of taking the years and life to be somewhat gruesome but he does it anyways since he needs to if he wants his plans to work.
All in all he is a kind man whos ideals are considered bad, he wants whats best for the world but his methods of achieving his dreams are wrong. But he is a determined and stubborn person who will not give up in his dream of bettering the world and showing everyone not to waste what little time they have on foolish endeavors.
Weapon: Memoriam is the name of Vitrums simple cane sword, it has no special qualities aside from the handful of silver sand in the hourglass handle of his cane. But without that its just a simple double edged cane sword.
Aura/Semblance: Hourglass is the name of Vitrums semblance. This ability allows Vitrum to extract and give physical form to a person's âLife Essenceâ. The form of this essence is a golden sand which he can collect and store for later use. When applied to a person's bare skin the sand is absorbed into them, when this occurs the recipient of the sand will appear to grow more youthful and healthy in appearance, any wounds or scars fading away, but the physical deaging effect seems to stop once a person reaches their early 20âs. The secondary and less noticeable effect is that any years that the person who the sand was taken from had left to live will be transferred to the recipient thus granting them a longer life span. This effect however doesnât seem to work for Vitrum meaning he will die when he is supposed to.
Fighting Style: Vitrums fighting style consists of basic fencing and royal swordplay. He isnt a highly skilled fighter but he can hold his own for a short time. It's usually his wit, manipulative skills, and cunning nature that keep him out of fights. His main weakness is his kindness and willingness to help those he sees as good people that deserve more time on this earth.
All in all he is a simple fighter who uses brains over brawn, preferring to avoid any conflict he can.
