Personality:
Vash is the type of person who lives in solitude and seclusion; somewhat like a hermit. He is peaceful in his daily life and seems to be a cold person to other people. That is why most people seemed to be terrified of him. Aside from that, he is also one of the best fighters in either hand-to-hand combat or long range. His fighting skills are very flexible and he can adapt to a fight very quickly. Also, he thinks of the fastest way to defeat his opponents.
Vash is very anti-social and doesn’t like to mingle with people. He usually declines social gatherings and if he ever goes to one, he just sits in the corner and observes the people around him and mostly thinks negative things about them. However, when he gets into a conversation, he usually thinks the opposite of what the person states whether it is positive or negative.
He also seems to be a bit short tempered when he is provoked. It also shows when he loses. During this time, he has a habit of insulting people and yells at them. He only feels guilt RARELY since he really doesn’t care for most of the people (except maybe for Liechtenstein*). He really isn’t interested in people and only few catches his attention. He also tends to be a bit possessive and gets angered when something is taken from him.
Generally, this is what people mostly see from Vash. But what they really don’t see is his compassionate side which he tends to keep to himself. Though after generally moving into town, he tries to show some more emotions towards other people. He just thinks that people might get the wrong idea from it.

Strengths:
Fighting – Vash is an excellent fighter and was trained by the best. He is flexible in this field and can fight almost anyone.
Speed – Vash is really fast on his feet and can think quickly in any situation. Though he may stumble a bit on the quick thinking, he’s a really fast person.
Courage – He is very brave and never backs down on a fight even though he knows he can get hurt really badly. He tends to think of it as an opportunity to get stronger.
Adaptation – Vash can adapt to any place. Whether it’s a place to fight or a place to live. But he doesn’t really adapt well with people. But he has adapted well with various types of weapons.
Stealth – Since he is a quiet person and mostly lives in solitude, he has a tendency to approach you without you knowing. The first thing you know, he’s not there, and the next, he’s there.
Orderliness – He can’t work with places that aren’t in order. He just cant.
Weaknesses:
Socializing – He can’t get in with the corwds and really hates being in small spaces. He’s somewhat Claustrophobic.
Acceptance – He has a hard time in accepting things. Especially when he’s lost or when he’s been proven wrong.
Emotions – Some people say he doesn’t have them or they don’t exist in his world/dictionary. But he just doesn’t want people to get the wrong idea. And he just can’t show it.
Too Silent – People tend to get the wrong idea when this comes up. Vash becomes too silent and people just think that he’s the type who has something bad up his sleeve. Along with this, he tends to keep everything to himself.
Everything Related to People – Yup. That’s true. He can’t relate that much.
History:
Vash Zwingli was born into a semi-rich family. There, he had everything. A complete family, the love of his parents, memories with them and all. The Zwingli household was a household that was happy but enjoyed the peace and silence of everything. Vash being the only child carried the Zwingli tradition of his parents. And with that, being silent was carved into his being.
Vash’s father was a weapons expert and a fighting master. He produced weapons and taught fighting to different types of people. He taught Vash how to wield a sword and hand-to-hand combat. His mother on the other hand was a very caring and loving woman. She loved vash very much and sometimes would debate with his father whether he would continue fighting or not. Of course, Vash wanted to fight in order to protect his mother. Hearing this, Vash’s mother agreed to let him continue fighting on the condition that he does not get severely hurt in a fight. Little did Vash know that everything would be changed in a day.
It was only a few days later when Vash woke up to find his entire family gone. They just suddenly disappeared. Everything was in order and it didn’t seem like there was a struggle. The presence felt as if they never existed. After that incident, Vash was sent to a man who was a close friend of his father. And he was to stay there with him. Little did Vash know that his father’s friend was a mercenary.
In the new household of Vash, there was non-stop training. His foster father now was merciless and didn’t have pity on Vash. He said that there was no room for the weak in this world and if there were, they were to be eliminated. He engraved this philosophy into the mind of Vash. It didn’t take long for Vash to realize that everything ha was saying was true. Only the strong survived and the weak were eliminated. In this world, it was survival of the fittest. In order for him to survive, Vash had to get stronger no matter what.
As time passed, Vash was slowly getting stronger and faster. With the help of his foster father mixed in with the silence of his personality, Vash was starting to have this strange aura about him. It was something deadly that most of the kids his age now would avoid him and run whenever they saw him. They gave little chance to Vash to show his true self. It was also during this time he met a young girl which he took a liking to and thus called her his younger sister. She was something Vash had always wanted. But then, the little girl suddenly disappeared. But she promised to return one day as the little sister Vash wanted.
When Vash was about to turn 18, the man who brought him up to be like this challenged Vash to a death match. If Vash won, he would get all the riches that his family left him plus his. At first, Vash didn’t want to take on the challenge, but the sudden attack of the man forced him to give everything he’s got. He received a few scratches and bruises and one stab wound. But that didn’t stop Vash from emerging as the winner. He claimed all the riches that were left to him. And one day, he left the corpse of the man in his house and burned the house down taking only his money and the necessary items only.
Vash moved into a new town and bought a house in the Upper Quarter in the Residential District. He was going make a brand new start for now.
Sample Post:
Vash had officially moved into town. He had bought a nice house in one of the greatest and silent parts of town. This was going to be a great start for him now. He had no relationship to this town whatsoever and no one knew him. This is what he needed. Something he had no history with. After fixing the last few things of his, Vash decided to finally explore the finished product of his labor. As he took a tour of the house, he came across the small staircase that would lead him into the attic.
“Not now… It would be just a trouble if I would recall all those events… Maybe some other time…” he noted to himself as he went on with the tour of his new house.
He reached his bedroom and found it quite homey. It was something like his previous home. The first one he ever had along with his family. Walking to the window, he noticed how a bit too big the room was for him. But he had this all to himself now right? He reached the window and opened the curtains to see a spectacular scene of the ocean. It was something claming. Something he had not experienced in a while. He noticed some children playing along the sandy beaches and the ocean heaving in and out. He never had that kind of child hood and he felt a bit of jealousy.
“Jealousy?! Not me… No certainly not me…” he told himself as he closed the curtains and walked down to the ground floor to inspect if everything else seemed to be alright. And they were. The sun was setting. The whole day, he was fixing everything else up. He watched sun set until it was finally night. After sometime, he fell asleep while reading a book in his living room.
Vash was tired for the day and now, he was at peace for the night with no worries at all.

Note: I didn’t add Liechtenstein yet because I don’t know what the RP-er might have in store for her. If there’s anything you need, please let me know so that I may edit it. And for the Liechtenstein* you saw, it was because I don’t know what name she’ll be given here. Thanks!
On the other hand…
BRITANNIA BEAM!!! *pow*
