For all his life, Vince had lacked a proper mother figure. His father was a demon weapon and a graduate of the DWMA. He was one of the most prominent businessmen in his region, and political pressures led him to marry the daughter of a wealthy CEO. Soon afterward, a healthy daughter was born, and five years later, Vincent entered the world. The father was bogged down with work to play a significant role in the family, and the mother was too much of a spoiled brat to take on any responsibility. The task of raising the children was pushed onto irritable nannies that fed them cold oatmeal and locked them in their rooms.

The two kids received affection only from their father, who only returned home after bedtime. The mother basically ignored them while she spent her days socializing with the upper class. The only times they received any form of acknowledgement were she yelled at them for touching her jewelry.

Vince and his sister had a fairly decent relationship, but as she grew older, their mother realized it was time to transform her daughter into a high standing young lady. The mom obviously preferred the angelic daughter over her scruffy son. She introduced the girl to daughters of other wealthy families, and soon his sister was sucked into the realm of shopping sprees and cheap gossip. Whenever her so-called friends were invited to their home, they would all gang up on the poor boy and force him to wear dresses, serve them tea, and perform other degrading tasks. They would constantly play pranks on him and cackle at his blunders. It was then that he began to despise his capricious mother and his bird-brained sister’s playmates.

The boy first awakened his weapon blood at the age of eleven. He was forced into an oversized maid’s outfit and was bringing a tray of tea to a table of idiots. Unsurprisingly, he tripped on the hem and spilled the drink all over one girl’s dress. In a fury, she began to whack him repeated with her purse. Before his sister could step in, Vince had punctured a large hole through the purse with his fist, and when he pulled it out, he saw that his hand had been replaced with a grapnel.

His sister immediately reported the incident to their mother, who then complained to their father. He had been worried that his children hadn’t inherited his weapon blood, so learning that his son had finally shown some potential was a huge relief. While Vince wasn’t all too excited about being shipped off like a package, he was grateful to leave behind the women behind his misery.

⋆ Grappling Hook Gun

⋆ In full weapon form, Vince operates as a Grappling Hook Gun. The weapon is approximately the same size as a 9mm pistol, but it includes a high speed propeller and cable chamber. The grapnel (grappling hook) is locked at the end of the barrel and can be shot out to a maximum distance of 30 feet when the trigger is pulled. When the hook is released, the meister can pull the trigger again to reel in the cable. The actual grapnel consists of four claws, plus a pointed component that acts as an arrowhead. Outside of battle, the weapon can be used as an actual grappling hook, catching grips such as parapets or tree branches.

⋆ At this stage, he’s only able to transform his right hand into the grappling hook component. He cannot fire the hook and extend the cables, but at least he can deliver some pretty scary punches.

⋆ Propulsion: With a pull of the trigger, a meister could fire the grappling hook up to 30 feet away. The grapnel can pierce through enemies, either striking all the way through or partially. A second pull of the activates the reeling mechanism, either pulling the target toward the meister or the meister toward the target.

⋆ Rope Grapnel When the grapnel is released, a meister could grasp the middle of the cable and start spinning the hook around like a rope dart, creating a circle of defense. One could change the radius of the circle simply by adjusting the placement of one’s hand on the cable. The other hand would be secured on the gun component, to prevent it from flying away. With this technique, a meister could swing and throw the grapnel toward an object or opponent.
