Originally went to Eudio only to "get his money back", as he came from a earlier canon point, but he learned that his son, Massimo. died so he decided to save his life. He eventually had to make the decision to let Massimo die, and for future events to play out as they were supposed to, for the sake of his romance with Mark. The overall arc was very painful for him and continues to be painful because he feels like he killed Massimo himself by choosing Mark over him.
Managed to form a "team" he considers to be like family outside of the team he joined in canon, these are people who have his loyalty.
Formed an unhealthy attachment to Joseph Kavinsky, who he has subconsciously used to fill the void his dead son left.
Achieved two completed incentives: 1. To gain access to his bank accounts (which is irrelevant in Xistentia) and 2. Immortality, he won't die of old age or if he's "killed" (see 'powers').
POWERS:
Mesmer: He can control the locomotor system of others as if they were puppets. This can only be done with his hands so if they are restrained he can't use it, but it doesn't require line-of-sight (as in, he can mesmer people in other rooms even with the door closed). It doesn't work on animals, nor can he prevent others from using their powers, such as shifting into an animal, unless it requires movement that he can halt. This is also how he feeds himself.
Magical strength/resistance: Vex's mesmer is very strong and he has natural resistance to certain forms of fae magic. For example, Bo used her 'charm touch' on him and it didn't work, and he was strong enough to mesmer The Morrigan (dark fae leader), six fae elders at once (elders are some of the most feared fae), as well as Eros (minor ancient fae). However, his mesmer didn't work on Hades (ancient fae) and Hades' powers worked on Vex, so there is proof that he's not at the top of the "food chain".
Healing: Fae are quicker healers than humans. There are numerous examples of him healing quickly from injuries, but a good one is that he had his throat cut and lived, though he wasn't able to speak for a day the next day he was chatting like normal.
Immortality: Normally fae only have longevity, in that they live for thousands of years, but he achieved his Eudio incentive and now will no longer die from old age, starvation or injuries (though injuries will still temporarily incapacitate him as he doesn't instantly heal). He is not invulnerable. Vex doesn't actually know whether his immortality works so his survival instincts are still intact.
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
His daemon is a domestic shorthair cat, black fur with blue eyes which he named Hexd.
EXIT STRATEGY: It began as earthquakes which grew in severity by the minute. The sky filled with black clouds, wind and hail pummeled the city and finally lightning strikes specifically targeted buildings and people to destroy what hadn't already been torn asunder. Vex lived with Mark on the 23rd/24th floor of a skyscraper and they were watching a movie together when the attack started. Before they could try to escape the projection screen switched to a view of Xistentia, which Mark's arm was able to go into when he reached inside. Seeing it as magical intervention from certain death, as their home was literally falling apart around them, they held hands and stepped through. During the transfer process they were unable to hang onto each other and they were separated, Vex arrived on the beach alone. MORALITY: Vex is a survivor first and foremost and has only displayed the willingness to die twice; once while mourning his son and then when he refused to join the side of Hades against his newfound team. He's proven in the past that he'll commit atrocities to live, an example of that being when he condemned his family to a slow and painful execution as a deal to save himself. He then becomes a hitman for the Dark who killed and tortured his fellow fae, including children, which was a duty he performed without hesitation although he later admitted that he regretted the terrible things he did. He shows an aptitude for getting into trouble (always heckling authority), a readiness to fight (or "go down swinging" as he says), and is sexually aroused by danger in certain situations (he'll flirt with you regardless if you're an enemy). Ultimately, he'll do what needs to be done and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get Mark back even if that means he must become the monster he used to be. WAR ATTITUDES: While Vex typically prefers to sit back and let everyone else duke it out, he currently has a powerful need to rebuild his world so he can be reunited with Mark. He won't be the person who organizes missions because he's a shitty leader, but he'll push for others to do so and tag along. He likely complain and make inappropriate remarks during any adventures, but that's just Vex. Whenever he's motivated, which he has been in a few canon situations, he's there to battle it out to the end. INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: He'll screw you and your entire family if that means it'll get him what he wants. Vex has no qualms about sex, though he does have a preference for getting it on with those who share his love of BDSM- he has kinks and he's not ashamed of them. True friendship is more difficult to obtain from him, and by "true" friendship I mean he won't or he'll hesitate to betray you if need-be. He's notorious for switching sides but he's proven he can be reliable for the people he cares about, or at least feel really bad if he turns on them (sorry Kenzi). As for romantic entanglements? Not a chance. He gave what little heart he had to Mark. COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Normally Vex's focus would be on hedonism, building nightclubs and making as many physical connections as he could. But without Mark that's now secondary and his attention will be in exploration and discovery. He'll want to find the most information as fast as he can in order to rebuild his home and get his husband back. Whatever needs doing, no matter how dangerous or stupid, Vex will volunteer to get it done and so there's a high potential for him to harm himself in the beginning with reckless behavior. But hopefully with the support of his friends and forging new bonds with strangers he'll calm down and play it smarter.
