[/color][/font][/center]- - APPEARANCE - -
Eyes: Victor's eyes are pale golden color with a very subtle orange tint. They seem to gleam even in the slightest light.
Hair: Victor keeps his short, black hair simply brushed down without any specific style, though it tends to spike on the back. As a curious feature, he has long hairs next to his cheeks that curve forward and up.
Other facial features: Victor's skin is quite pale, almost white and his features are fairly defined. His thin mouth is most often seen in a sly smirk.
Build: Victor's build is lean and appearance sleek. He stands 5'7'' tall with overall slender limbs and light body. He does have some clear muscle, especially on his legs, but his clothing hides it.
Other bodily features: Beneath the clothes, Victor has a wide assortment of scars, bruises and other minor injuries from his various misadventures.
Distinguishable Features: Though other aspects of his outfit may vary, Victor is never seen without his black fedora and red shirt.
Mannerism: Victor is a confident, theatrical and energetic man who dislikes beating around the bush and being stealthy. In his opinion, things should either be done in the flashiest way available, or not at all. As such, he rarely takes anyone or anything seriously. This leads to unfiltered, often sarcastic, comments. His personal philosophy is that the whole world is just one big game where the only thing separating winners from losers is style. Being stylish is somewhat of an obsession for him, as most people can quickly notice from his speech. He appreciates things and people based on how stylish they are in his eyes. However, he never tells others how he defines being stylish.
Around other people, Victor is easygoing and talkative to the point of being a real motor mouth. While it's next to impossible to make him angry, it's very easy to get him excited. The activity or the people have little to no effect on this. Victor doesn't judge people based on what they look like, what they believe in or what their abilities are. The important thing to him is how much fun he can have around a person. Overall, he is very open-minded guy and handles rude or aggressive people with a grin. He does have somewhat of a mischievous streak and actually enjoys pushing people to see how they react.
As far as body language goes, Victor rarely has anything to hide. He stands tall, walks with a confident swagger and speaks clearly. He likes to gesture with his hands and move around a lot. On that note, he doesn't really have a sense of personal space, regardless of gender. He drags, hits and hugs people when he feels like it. His excitement level can be easily read on his smile. Usually, it's just a sly smirk, but when things get exciting, it turns into an arrogant grin that widens as he has fun. He only tones down these mannerisms when someone he respects demands it.
Habits: Victor has an odd habit of walking on and over things, no matter how rude or impractical it might be. He likes to tiptoe on fences, hop on tables instead of walking past them and literally step over people who get on his way. A smaller habit is that he likes napping in high places, roofs especially.
Other: As far as clothes go, Victor is fond of suits and complains loudly whenever someone or something ruins them.

Strengths: Victor is devilishly fast, agile and precise. Speed is his greatest tool, used constantly both in combat and everyday life. He is agile and flexible enough to squeeze through tight spots with little trouble. This flexibility also manifests in his soul, allowing him to work with wide variety of partners. His natural precision allows him to pinpoint things even during chaotic moments. Over the years of Meister training, Victor has gained powerful legs that allow him to run, leap and kick with inhuman skill and strength. Speaking of kicks, they are Victor's main form of attacking and pack mean power behind them, enough to knock even heavy opponents away or launch his teammates into aerial attacks. Thanks to his father's teachings, he also possesses a magician level sleight of hand.
Weaknesses: As Victor is fast, he is also horribly impulsive. If he likes some approach, he'll do it without even considering the consequences or other options. He is far more likely to ruin a plan than follow it. Being quiet and stealthy aren't his strong suits either. His flashy, over-the-top mannerisms can quickly get irritating to his teammates. To top it all off, he is all too stubborn by nature and refuses to back down, even when he is clearly outmatched. On physical side, his defense is simply pathetic. He never quite grasped the concept of blocking and can't take much punishment before going down. Especially his chest is a weak spot. Lastly, his Soul Perception skills are laughable, leaving him unable to notice souls unless he is really, really concentrating.
Weapon: None.
Powers: Victor has developed a skill dubbed "Selfish Resonance". During Soul Resonance, he can hog all the excess energy and use it to make himself alone stronger. He can either boost his speed until he seems to vanish and reappear or increase his physical strength to absolutely monstrous levels. The increase gets bigger depending on the strength and resonation skill of his weapon partner. However, he has to choose between the two and changing the boost takes a moment.
How can women say completely illogical stuff with such complete confidence?!

History
Background History: Victor is the only son of Richard Graves and Valerie Graves. His father is a magician and mother is an actor, so the whole flashy show business thing runs in the family. From young age, Victor has gotten used to various types of audience and performing. During his earlier years, he got to be part of many magic shows and had some minor roles in his mother's movies. Ordinary is one word that doesn't belong into Graves' family vocabulary, so Victor has experienced all sorts of thrills. He spent most of his childhood moving from city to city with his parents as show business doesn't really stay still. While he didn't have many friends during those years, he still cherishes the memories.
At the age of 14, Victor's potential as a Meister manifested as a sudden increase in his physical abilities. He enrolled during the same year. In DWMA, he started training feverishly to prove his worth. During the incident with Asura, Victor remained at the school to keep watch on Death City while others faced the madness directly. It was good experience for him. Unfortunately, due to his dislike of studying and bad luck with finding a partner, his reputation hasn't been all that great over the years. Most teachers see him as a lazy loudmouth while most students whisper that he's crazy. However, Victor has shamelessly enjoyed his troublemaker status and is now beginning to pick up the pace in hopes of finding a partner at last.
You know you should, so I guess you might as well

Quiet snoring was the only sound in the small, messy apartment. The source of the sound, none other than Victor Graves, was sprawled over his bed in peaceful sleep. Even while napping, he was still donning his usual getup of black and red. A genuinely happy smile played on his lips instead of the crazy grin he usually wore. Tiny droplets of drool were occasionally dripping from the corner of his mouth. It was safe to bet he was dreaming of something pleasant. Perhaps the dream was about living among clouds made of cotton candy, or maybe it was something more.
Unfortunately, all good things had to come to an end and this nap was no exception. A knock in the door dispersed the dream and ended the snoring very effectively. Blinking couple of times, Victor sat up and the goofy smile persisted while he rubbed his eyes. Having his sleep interrupted didn't bother him one bit. A yawn escaped his mouth as he walked towards the door. He hadn't been expecting anyone to visit him, since most people didn't know where he lived, but surprises were always welcome. In all honesty, he had simply forgotten what he had scheduled.
However... Nothing could've prepared him for who waited behind the door...
