[INNER THOUGHTS]
Overview:
Vinnie Matlock has a reputation—and he takes it very seriously. He’s always caught with a book, but never something for school. He has the patented rebel “devil may care” attitude, and has the look to match it. He plays with people’s emotions and uses as much care and precision as he would with an instrument. Some would call him manipulative, he would call it common sense. There is a certain danger associated with him, since he has little respect for authority. He is sarcastic, intelligent and quiet—a very unnerving person to be around. He isn’t two-dimensional, however. There is far more to him than he portrays to the average person. He’s a romantic at heart, and pines for the one person he can confide in. He hates people knowing his weakness though, so he displays a nonchalant attitude towards women, and on the surface treats them as more of one-time flings than any sort of serious relationship.
Basically, Vinnie discards part of who he is in favor of what he’d rather be. He’s done a pretty successful job of creating the stereotype of bad boy “Vinnie Matlock”, and doesn’t plan to throw that all away. However, with his impending graduation approaching and his Father pushing him towards the Death Eaters association, he needs to put his priorities in order and decide who he really is.

[HISTORY]
When Kaylen Matlock thought about the children he might have with his wife, he wasn’t all that thrilled. To be honest, Kaylen would rather serve his Dark Lord than deal with messy children all the time. However, when news spread that Voldemort needed a new generation of servers, Kaylen knew he had no choice in the matter. So, when Vincent Matlock was born he tried to make the best of the situation. Vinnie was a quiet child, even as a baby. Because of this, Kaylen’s wife managed to convince him to have one more child. However, when the twins Amy and Lawrence were born—he was more than a little angry. He dealt with the twins, but Vincent was always his favorite child. So, one night when Vincent and Lawrence were 7 and 4 years old respectively, he brought both boys to the Dark Lord as a gift of service. Lord Voldemort was thrilled with the intelligence he could sense in Vincent, but dismissed Lawrence with a wave of his hand.
When Kaylen brought the boys back home, his wife refused the plan to put Lawrence up for adoption, as she wanted to keep her baby boy. Amy wasn’t even yet a part of this, seeing as Voldemort wasn’t all interested in girls yet. So, Kaylen went behind her back and abandoned Lawrence in a muggle London neighborhood. What nobody ever knew was that 7 year old Vinnie watched his Father converse with the Dark Lord about the plan and knew what his father had done to his brother.
Life went on from there, but it’s hard to say how this affected Vinnie. His brother was gone, and he and Amy had to deal with the parents that now only moped in each other’s presence. Vinnie took solace in his wide variety of books, and Amy tried to rebel against her parents out of anger. The first bit of magic that Vinnie ever did was turning his Father’s hair pink, when he was 6 years old. His little brother and sister giggled, but his parents were less than thrilled. Throughout the years, there was a lot that contributed to the rift between Vinnie and his parents.
When he started Hogwarts, Vin got even farther from his parents. He barely wrote letters—except to Amy—and tried to find a home in Hogwarts. Even though he and his father aren’t close, Vinnie is still expected to become a Death Eater after Hogwarts, and Kaylen Matlock won’t except anything less than that.
