Music Themes

Note: Vocal Songs are attributed themes in which the lyrics seem to relate or partially relate to the character. They don't mean to resemble the character's voice. The instrumental themes are meant to give an idea of the atmosphere around the character. Songs with character names (example: "Tidus's Theme") are NOT meant to indicate that the character is like the theme owner. I just find the instruments and melody fitting, not the character the song was originally addressed to.

(The following is a WIP, and details are subject to change)

Birth and childhood (0-10)

 Vincent was born in La Noscea, and for the first seven years of his life, had a relatively ordinary childhood living with his mother, and for a brief while, his younger sister. Around age seven however, he and his younger sister were abducted by the Garlean Empire, taken to Garlemald, and used as a form of ransom to ensure the loyalty of their mother as a spy for the Empire.

It was after this that Vincent learned his mother had already held this role once before, acting as a Garlean operative on numerous occassions. It was not until she fell pregnant after an assignment that she finally abandoned the Empire for Eorzea, though Vincent was never provided with a reason for why she did not do so earlier. 

Though a hostage of the Empire, Vincent was not ill-treated, in order to ensure continued loyalty from their mother. Believing there might be potential to turn the boy and his sister to their side and gain another valuable asset on Eorzean shores, the Empire began attempts to indoctrinate them, and started to train them in various skills and disciplines, ready for the day that they might serve their purposes. 

This training and indoctrination would continue long into Vincent's teen years, eventually, troublesome dreams reminiscint of the Echo would eventually result in him gaining the attention of Gaius Van Baelsar. 

 

Teen Years

After many years of being emotionally manipulated, as well as physically trained in arts of war and espionage, Vincent would gain the interest of Gaius Van Baelsar, who took a keen interest in Vincent's training, growth and possible connection to the Echo. This eventually resulted in Gaius being drafted into the indoctrination and training project regarding Vincent directly, and this had a strong psychological impact on Vincent's growth.

Around Age 12, the project was put directly under Gaius' command, along with the mentor that had been training Vincent up to that point. In an attempt to inspire loyalty in Vincent, Van Baelsar claimed that he was the boy's father, and Vincent, having never known the identity of or even having met his father before, was deeply affected by this idea. The very concept would haunt him for years to come, and cause numerous conflicts within Vincent that would affect his decisions and actions later in life, as well as inspire serious self-doubts and questions of loyalty as he aged. 

At Age 15, Vincent, his sister and their mentor are transported to a Castrum in Mor Dhona, as the Empire began making their preparations for war in Eorzea. 

At Age 16, Vincent was able to smuggle himself and his sister onboard a Garlean Airship bound for a Castrum in La Noscea. By the time their disappearance had been noticed, they had already fled the ship, but were not able to escape the Castrum without being seen. In the ensuing chase, Vincent is able to escape all but one of his pursuers. Believing them to only have capture orders, Vincent is initially reluctant to attack or injure them, until they take aim at his sister, claiming that they have orders to execute her as punishment for their escape, but that Vincent will live as he's supposedly belonging to Van Baelsar's bloodline.

Vincent makes his first kill in the defense of another, and abandons the weapon he had stolen to do so in disgust at taking a life. A distressed Vincent is kept focused by his sister, and the pair continue their escape, ultimately travelling far enough into Eorzean territory to lose any further pursuers. In the wake of making his first kill, and haunted by dreams of Primals and the Empire, as well as doubts about his parents, Vincent's mental state deteriorates as they travel, increasingly worried that more troops or spies will be sent to capture him and kill his sister.  This culminates in him being unwilling to trust strangers by the time the pair reach Limsa Lominsa, and consequently unable to contact anyone that might be able to tell them where to find their mother. To add to this, knowing that she acted as a spy to keep them safe, fears that they might endanger her by seeking her out. 

The pair live on the streets of Lominsa for a short time, with Vincent operating as a pickpocket to keep them fed and clothed, but never able to steal enough to change their fortunes. Unwilling to hunt or take on mercenary work, or even lift a blade in the wake of making his first kill, Vincent and his sister are left stranded in Limsa Lominsa, stealing to survive, constantly in fear of Imperial Operatives. It would take a while before Vincent's confidence would rebuild and return to him, and ultimately would arrive too late.

At Age 17, Vincent has regained some of his former confidence, and become more outgoing, but is still unwilling to raise a weapon, even to defend himself, and is further troubled by his dreams, never able to recall them, but always deeply upset by them.

Six months into this age, The Calamity occurrs, and Vincent loses his sister during the destruction that strikes Limsa Lominsa. 

He froze in place upon hearing Bahamut's roar, and watched in silence as a blast tore open the tower he was standing in, ultimately severely injuring him, and sending his sister to her death as she fell from the tower.

In the wake of The Calamity, Vincent is left in the care of The Maelstrom and the Yellowjackets, alongside many other individuals injured in the attack. While slowly recovering from his injuries, Vincent is plunged into grief following his sister's death, and holds himself responsible for it. 

At Age 18, Vincent has fully recovered from the injuries he sustained during Bahamut's attack, and is surprised by a gift being delivered to him on his birthday.
