Character info
NB: Information below is for the purposes of role-playing only. Owing to the alternate universe setting of this RP, a vast majority involves original elements.

Series: Final Fantasy 7 (Before Crisis)

Age: 20. Old enough to know better, too young to care.

Gender: Male.

Sexuality: Generally a ladies’ man, but tends to be indiscriminating. In particular, would make an exception for Vincent. Vincent is girly enough anyway.

Student or Faculty Member/Professor: Student, Junior Year.

Major: ...Zoology. Because he thought it would be easy. But he keeps changing it, usually to whatever requires the least studying and whatever ~~Vincent~~ certain people are doing, so that he can bum off their notes.

Minor: (Optional) Criminology, but only because he thought he’d major in it, and took several courses to that effect. But it actually had work. So he dropped it.

Occupation: (Optional) In between jobs at the moment. Eying that prime barista spot at ~~Star Bucks~~ a café downtown, because he hears it means free coffee. Or at least major staff discounts.

Appearance:
Veld sports a brown mop on top of his head. He claims it’s his hair. He also claims that it adds to his ‘rakish, rugged charm’. Whether the majority of the student population agrees or not, said mop at least matches the colour of his eyes (aka hazel). When on campus, he’s generally found dressed in baggy ski jackets, polo t-shirts and jeans, although he can neaten up respectably at formals.

Veld comes in at 6 feet.

Accommodation:
Dorm. Petunia 313. Rooming with Vincent.

Schedule:
Day/Evening: Day

First Period: Introductory Ecology
Second Period: The Political Economics of Crime and Justice
Break Period:
Third: Biology 102
Fourth: Parasitology

Extra-cirricular: Football, Soccer, and probably got kicked out of the baseball team for not turning up often enough.

Character Personality

...Well, it is college age Veld. Without a shred of responsibility.

Veld is a curious mix between jock and rich brat. He dresses like crap most of the time, but does have the occasional mannerism or speech pattern that betrays an upbringing involving a lot of private tutors. He suffers from the curse of a wealthy family and doesn’t really know the value of money, which leads to a certain amount of disdain for college and the entire process of getting a degree and getting a job. This shows in his academic track record, where he’s known for the taking the simplest courses and then changing majors at the drop of a hat to take whatever seems less painful at the time.

Academia wise, he does decently, although he tends to fail classes that have an attendance requirement. Despite being registered as a day student, he never actually turns up for anything before the break unless dragged there by someone. He passes exams through sheer dint of cramming furiously a week before the exam and spitting out just enough to pass.

The only reason why Veld is actually a junior and not a sophomore is that he rakes up credits by being on the teams of almost every sport in college, although he’s been kicked out of a few, because there are only so many clubs that one can humanly be in at one time.

Veld actually takes pretty well to responsibility when he actually has to step up to it. The problem is getting him to start, because he’d much prefer drinking and partying and taking part in whatever sports haven’t banned him for breaking noses yet. Generally, he rushes in where ~~Vincent~~ angels fear to tread, and is often responsible for the fear-of-treading in the first place. While not naturally inclined towards science or engineering, he’ll never say no to ~~Duke’s~~ someone’s dastardly plan to blow the school up.

He is, however, fiercely protective of those close to him (aka Vincent). Except where it involves his own dastardly plans. Because there’s always a dastardly plan.

There’s also the obsession with coffee. If you hadn’t already noticed.

Character History

Born Artemis Verdot, the only son of a rich family owning large tracks of land (that, unsurprisingly, includes a lot of vineyards), he soon developed a loathing for the name ‘Verdot’ (that, unsurprisingly, everyone starting calling him by, because people are perverse like that). A lot of broken noses later, people soon learnt to use ‘Veld’ instead, and it’s usually only the occasional ~~snooty~~ professor that refers to him as ‘Artemus’.

As tends to be the case with rich brats, he grew up on a diet of violin lessons and etiquette training. All of which went down the drain the moment he bit a certain brat (aka Vincent Valentine) for calling him Verdot, and then discovered that it was far more fun to break noses.

It quickly became apparent that Veld excelled at sports, particularly American football. It was probably his key for entering Evergrove, since his grades were – although not abysmal, not fantastic either. He captained a few teams in high school, although those shreds of responsibility evaporated upon joining college. He does, however, take his commitments to the team fairly seriously; certainly more seriously than he takes his studies.
