Vincent Maes


The rocks appear in front of me
when the first shadows prelude into dark
Near is your end, wild holy path,
open my eyes to what the sun hides
Beloved mountain what do you hide
Where does your river flow, I want to know

Distinguishing Features Sloppy long grey hair, braided goatee, black round glasses
Diseases or Injuries Nothing serious
Overall AppearanceBecause of his length and build people grow quickly intimidated by his appearance. Due to his lenght his chin mostly reaches above the forehead of an average length man. Vincent has an athletic build with slender muscles and thus he has a good endurance. Small marks are scattered across his skin, revealing his rather adventurous youth. Remains of small fights, like scratches and bruises have small, almost unnoticeable mark but on his left shoulder there is a five inch long scar from a dagger attack. Vincent's hair runs down till his shoulders and, while kept in a tail, some strands of hair hang in his face. He has a grey goatee which goes till the height of the chest and very dark green eyes.

While teaching Vincent prefers to wear a white tuxedo, with a black shirt under it and a white tie. On work his shoes are always polished and very tidy, altough his clothing is the only thing that is neat. When Vincent isn't working he chooses for more of a leisure like clothing style. Jeans, loose shirts, etc... With this clothing he looks even more sloppier than usual and people don't even think he is a professor. Be it working or relaxing Vincent always wairs his glasses.

[size=5]~Dreams are Sacred
Likes History, philosophy, teaching, relaxing from time to time, conversing with his students and riddles
Dislikes Students without discipline
Fears Isn't afraid of anything specific
Goals Hasn't a goal
Habits Starts to clean his glasses when he is getting nervous.
Personality Vincent's personality varies with the situation. In class he tends to rather strict, serious and calm. Still teaching is his passion and thus he eaches in such a manner. He loves it to enlighten his students. When a student of his has problems with the classes he gives it his all to get the child trough it. Also Vincnet always tries to make his classes interesting, so textbooks are evil incarnate for him.

Out of class Vincent is more friendly and relaxed. In his spare time Vincent doesn't speak much about class as he thinks they need to be seperated. While relaxing Vincent is the complete opposite then in class. Then he can appreciate the pranks and jokes of the students. Still he keeps his calm posture. Vincent also gives advice from time to time altough he gives aid in more of a riddle. He does this because the person who would finally solve the riddle would undertand the meaning behind it much better than when Vincent would just give advice.

~Teaching
Subject Power Manipulation
Classroom Description The entrance is on the East Wing on the second floor. The classroom exists of three spaces. The main room is where theory lessons are given. Strangely there are no shelves with books but there are paintings, old world maps, busts and other historical items. These things don't have anything to do with the subjecy but Vincent prefers this kind of decoration. The door to the left is the entrance to Vincent's Office.

The door to the right leads to the practical lesson room. At first it looks like a regular door but behind that is a whole different room. It is created by Vincent solely for the task of practicing. Mostly it looks like a large green field with the sun shining but Vincent can change this at will. Be it from a sunny beach, a lightning storm till a vulcano erruption. Altough these are just manifestations and not real, the damage inflicted is still real. So you'd better watch out.
Office Description When taking the left door in the main room you enter Vincent's office. Altough the room is quite largeit seems much larger because it is cramped up with allot of stuff. Against the walls are four large bookshellfs, completely filled with historical references and philosophy.

Behind Vincent's desk is a large window, where the sun shies trrough during the afternoon. A large crimson curtain is hanging on the sides of the window. A thick rug of the same colour os lying on the ground. Vincent's desk is made out of mahony wood and is faced towards the door. On the desk is mostly a pile of books where Vincent is sitting behind.

HistoryThe first years of Vincent weren't special. He seemed to be an ordinary child and he lived in a such a way. His parent's weren't very rich but they had more than enough to take care of their children and gave smething extra from time to time. When Vincent reached the age of seven his misfit powers started to come trough. He discovered that if he tohught about an item and he concetrated long enough it would become real. Though it wasn't easy. As at first he could never get the shape right. Vincent kept it a secret from both his parents and his younger brother.

Life continued but one day a letter came in from ESM with an invitation for Vincent. When his parents asked him what it was, Vincent didn't knew either at the beginning but after a while he understood that it was about his powers. When he told his parents about what he could do they were shocked at first but weren't angry. After a while they were proud that their eldest son was special but they still kept treating him the same as his younger brother.

Vincent entered ESM and remained there for the whole seven years. He was one of the Water dorm and a rahter good student. While growing up he took a liking towards history and philosophy. He loved to read and spent hours in the library and when he was chased out of there because it was closing time he would read a bit in bed before going to sleep.

When Vincent graduated he wnet back to Belgium and studied in a normal university for how to become a teacher. During these studies he met his future wife Stefanie. At first they were just good friends and gradually trough the years thy started dating. This would eventually end up in marriage. Some years later Vincent would be father of a son, tohugh it seems his son hasn't got any powers like Vincent has. Years passed by peacefully till Vincent got another letter for ESM. At first he tohught it was for his son but it appeared they asked him to be a professor. Since he loved his time on ESM Vincent agreed right away
