Vinnie



From the comic, Archetype Academy:

Vincent Maurice Van Vandervan is a teenaged speedster who attends Hiro Protagonist academy, alongside his best friends, Sarah Sasquatch and Hiro Protagonist IV.

He is a Canadian speedster from a family of Canadian speedsters... all villains. Still, Vin is a chill bro and doesn't necessarily want to follow in the fleet footsteps of his fam... nor is he averse to it. That's the point of Archetype Academy: to journey forward and find out where One's destiny lies. A seeming lazy and laconic young man, "Vinnie Velocity", as he his known, sees no need to really exert himself, as he can accomplish almost anything in just a couple of heartbeats. This annoys his friends to no end.

Vinnie has an insane appetite. While most believe that he eats as much as he does due to the hypermetabolism generally associated with speed powers, the truth is that Vinnie is actually a glutton who simply likes to eat. His hypermetabolism keeps him trim, but, he really doesn't HAVE to eat that much. He does so because he CAN.

Vinnie Velocity is never late to class, never late for a date and never late for a meal. He was called upon by his other friends to meet, greet and help the newest transfer student to Hiro Protagonist Academy, William "Billie" McKannix, unpack and get settled into the student dormitory, which he did in a matter of microseconds, seemingly. Vinnie took a shine to Billie immediately. The Canadian speedster was subtly smitten with the cyborg student from the future almost immediately. He was slightly disappointed to find that Billie was a straight, male transvestite... but, only slightly. There may not be a romantic future for the two of them, but, their friendship became strong... and Vinnie, at least, still considers his cute bud 'eye candy', if nothing else.
