| Vaughan Rees-Kirkland There is a pain in loss that is indescribable… There is a low tolerance for such and therefore we drive ourselves into either depression or anger because of it. They have given us steps to grieving, and even tried explaining the idiotic things we do to ease the torment riding on our hearts, but there is no man that can truly predict what will happen next… And thus this is where Vaughan has arrived, completely unaware how he got there and wanting desperately to get out… But not wanting to lose his family to his own mistakes. |

There is nothing more proud than a Welshman… Well, that's what any other country would say, but Vaughan happens to be particularly proud. Not just of who he is, but of who he is related to. He takes great pride in his family and friends, regardless of their situation. For them to be alive and working hard is enough for him. he greatly appreciates all that is done. He's the sort who might just be seen as someone who is watching a baby's first steps with every move forward someone close to him makes. While he's typically fairly calm, he can get rowdy quickly. He loves to get into fights, whether they be playful or real. Despite his normally gentle nature, his level of testosterone and just overall competitive nature forbids him from turning down a battle of any sort. This can get him into trouble often, but he means well. He's the sort who will forgive a guy for punching him in the face so long as it was a good, decent fight. Vaughan is naturally very careful with those around him. When he isn't roughing them up for doing something stupid, he's being comforting and kind. He especially loves kids and animals and can probably be seen as an almost fatherly character. This stems from being part of a big family and, despite his age, having dealt with kids a lot. While he can sometimes seen dense about situations, Vaughan does actually take great care to pay attention to others. He will usually do some stupid things to make people feel better, even, though it can sometimes lead to worsening things. He does it all in the best interest, though! Vaughan has always been the sort to keep looking up. Optimistic to the best of his ability! Despite his situations, he always tries to make the best of them even when he knows there's no way out. No reason to frown and drag others down with you, right? at least, that's what he says. He's hiding a lot of stuff, but being naturally optimistic makes it a little easier to smile. When he sets his mind to it then he can get any job done! Don't underestimate this man. He'll set you straight in no time. Whether it's something smile like paperwork or something big like... well, yeah! He takes care to do everything as best as he can. A real hard worker. When being flirted with, Vaughan will let it slip right over his head without a second though... But get him to realize it and he'll freeze up and turn a bright red! Otherwise, he's really good at flirting. Just not being flirted with~. He is also very family-oriented. Vaughan strives to keep his family ties secure, even if it hurts every time he sees them under pressure or upset and he can't do much about it. He just wants to have something to hold onto, even though he knows it's about to slip away very soon... Vaughan can be stupid, and this is one of those times he'll go to great lengths. This crazy kid would go against the world to protect his family, even if it means putting his own life on the line. That's just the sort of person he is. While he adores his family, though, he can often be secretive. While he wants to let them know about things, he is far too much of a coward in certain situations to do anything good. This is one of his greatest weaknesses, especially when it could hurt his family... or their love for him. Because of this, he can come off as a bit deceitful, or at least has the ability to be. If he needs to hide something, he can do so very well. Covering up details is something he's learned to do over the years, and though he hates to admit it... he can keep on doing it for as long as he needs to. Finally, perhaps he seems like a derp, but Vaughan can actually be very intelligent. He thinks a lot of things through, which can lead to some detrimental things… Such as: he has recently become obsessed with being noticed by his family. |

| Background |
Vaughan Rees, born to a small branch of the Kirkland family, was raised in a family of four older brothers and one younger sister. He was mostly picked on by the older siblings- anything from play fights to being locked in closets- while he tended to baby his younger sibling. He was a family guy, regardless, and loved meeting new members of his overly-large family. This... is Vaughan Rees Kirkland. Vaughan was an extremely outdoorsy child and generally tended to love both nature and animals... Not exactly in a Snow White style, but you get the point. He just loved the relaxing feeling of being outside, the calming effect animals have on people, and... oh, and he loved cooking. When Vaughan was 15, his family moved to England from Wales. There he met Elain, his girlfriend. They spent they spent 3 years together before Vaughan decided it would be a nice time to propose... Mind you: Elain was older than him by two years. He had never been one to care for age, so oh well. However, upon investigating a murder, Elain became caught in a gang's sights and eventually lost her life the day Vaughan waited for her to return home... To ask if she would marry him. Despite still having been young at the time, Vaughan dropped everything in search of what happened and why she was killed... Only to become trapped by them, the threat of harm to his family enough to convince him to join. He started at a low rank, of course, but being athletic and with a desire to hide this from his family and the rest of the world, he soon became a little too good at what he did... It took three years to become a Hitman, and another five to reach his current level. He desperately sought to be noticed by his family, though fear and paranoia that they will be disgusted with him and hate him instead of help him continuously tripped him up... However, he recently pulled a disappearing act. He tried cutting all ties with the gang that has been blackmailing him and get away from it all before returning. He couldn’t stay away from his family that long, so now he’s back and determined to get into a position where he can protect them! Only… they seem to be way ahead of him, and there are a few things that don’t seem right. |

No one could have picked a better spot... That might be an extreme over-exaggeration considering no spot was better than the last. It was one after the other searching for the cure to this impending doom set on the man's shoulders. Like a suffocating wait to see an end you already knew was going to be bad. There was no good way to describe all the things going through this smiling man's mind, right now. Things like, Could this be it?, Can I start over?, and Will everything be alright?. Vaughan Rees, son of Aeron Rees, was the heir to something grand. He was going to be the leader of a new age back home. Everything was set for him and there has never been any other life he's known. To speak of someone like that might seem strange, but no one came and no one left. Outsiders stood at the borders and residents remained for fear of what was beyond the life they've come to build. There were stranger things out there, and then why leave? Water, food, and other supplies came from outside. There was no reason to leave when it came to you, right? This was life. This was all the people knew. So yes, it was a bit overwhelming when Vaughan took his first steps out of his little world. In comparison to the rest of this apparently rather green planet, home was very cold... Everything was uniform back there, but out here it was often times sporadic. Nothing was predictable. This wasn't life... How could people live not knowing what exactly to do? What their future was going to be like? How could they all live in such a world without the advancements of technology? Trusting on the bounty of nature and her cruel whims... At least, those were the thoughts often pressed upon his people... While Vaughan was no different, perhaps being the one to decide it was time to leave opened up his mind just a little bit. He observed rather than criticized. He watched the people living outside and found it to be... interesting. Not calm, not safe, not expected, but there was something about living in such a realm that felt... free. Now, however, was not the time to dwell on such thoughts. The boat was coming to the do--... Well, what was left of the docks. Vaughan narrowed his eyes and stared hard at the bare bones of what remained of most of it, wondering what could have happened. A fire was the only explanation, but how had it started? Ah, but again not the time to think about such things. He could finally get off this constantly rocking monster and remove himself from the side of the ship. He was well done with removing the contents of his stomach into the ocean and ready for some adventure! Though the charred remains weren't a good sign, he thought, to a new beginning here. It was quite normal, by now, for him to be slathering toothpaste on a toothbrush in the middle of public, scrubbing the foul taste from his mouth as he grabbed his only--.. Oh, right, he hadn't even boarded with a bag. Oh well. Back to the safety of land, a slight foam about his mouth as he continued bitterly removing the memories of a ride across a body of water bigger than he'd ever seen. With a quick motion he spit the foam out into the water just as he was getting to the ground... Upon which he promptly sat, leaning against whatever he could find until his "sea legs" stopped turning to noodles and causing him to stagger along like some drunk. ... Speaking of which, he reached into his jacket pocket to pull out a flask, taking a good swig of what was left in there. Not much, really, but-- And he coughed, making a sour face at the taste... Not even alcohol tasted good just after brushing your teeth. How promising to this new adventure in this new land. What was next? |
