Character Name: Vash the Stampede
Series: Trigun (manga)
Age: 130, give or take a few years.
From When?: Just post-canon. The ships from Earth have arrived with supplies and the promise of contact with Earth, Knives is dead, and Vash was just about to walk off into the sunsset when the Admiral showed up with his offer.
Inmate/Warden: Warden. Let's be real, Vash is exhausted. He's been in a long cold war with his brother for more than a century, and he kinda wants to just lay down and die in a quiet corner somewhere. But as long as he's alive, it's his duty to try and make better for other people, so if asked, he'll say that he's DELIGHTED to have the opportunity to help somebody become a better person! All life is valuable, everyone is special, and surely this evil doer just needs a friend to guide them in the right direction!
Item: His Warden item is an earring. It's a small silver hop in a medium-large gauge that he wears in his left ear. Back on his world, this earring was a two-way radio that had stopped working years ago. As a Warden item, when turned on it can beep faster or slower to indicate his Inmate's location.
Abilities/Powers: Vash is faster and has better aim than any human, although part of that is because he's not human and part is because he's spent more than a hundred years wandering a desert world fighting gangsters and killer robots. His left arm is artificial, and hides a machine gun. Vash also used to have the ability to generate a huge amount of energy (enough to blow a city off the map, or to burn a hole in the moon), but canon events have drained his power so that the best he could do at this point is maybe generate a shield. And then he'd die, so for all intents and purposes, this power has been negated.
Personality: [Please write at least 5 solid paragraphs. The more depth and detail, the better! Keep in mind that other players will use this section to determine if your character is a good match for potential Warden/Inmate pairings, and this may be their first exposure to your character.
Barge Reactions: He'll stare at some of the odder people, no lie. There's a living triangle, okay, that's just weird! But Vash values all life, and thinks that strangers are just friends he hasn't met yet. He might have some ethical qualms about the Inmates being brought to the ship against their will, but mostly he's in favor of rehabilitation, and thinks that the goal of the ship is wonderful.
Deal: Honestly? He needs a reason to stay alive. He won't say that, no -- he'll say that he misses living on a ship, and that helping somebody become a better person will be its own reward, but the truth is that everyone he's ever cared about is either dead, or will suffer if he sticks around. He doesn't believe in suicide, so giving his life to redeem somebody else is the best possible option he's got. If pressed to name a reward, he'll just smile and defer the question, and inquire if he can work with a second Inmate if he does a good job and his first gets redeemed.
