They remain in service to their summoner for 1 hour or until they use their Special Power, whichever comes first. After that, they dissipate and return to their own world.
-Vincent could acquire new Summon Creatures by defeating them in combat and binding them by spending stones equal to their Durability right after their defeat. The GM has the right to choose wether any given creature can be summoned.

Minor Immunities
-All non-magical diseases, poisons and radiations
Wealth: 3
Limit Break: Chaos
-Special: As Reconstitute Self in a sense, similar to a Metamorphosis as well. Vincent may turn into Chaos if he suffers at least 5 white stones of damage, including his "Health" from Power Level (although he does not have to do it immediately if he doesn't feel like it), or when he "dies". When that happens, the numbers after the slashes on his CAD are used. He may revert whenever the threat is dealt with or after an hour, whichever comes first. After the limit break is over, his Health is at least 1w, and he regenerates normally after. He cannot transform back into Chaos for at least 6 hours. NOTE: Alternatively, Vincent could transform into Chaos even when unharmed, but he would have 0 energy left if he does it that way.
CHALLENGES
-Looking non-human (-2; Vincent has red eyes. This alone would not be worth the challenge, but most of his "clothes" and his gauntlet are actually part of his body. He cannot take them off, and they "heal" as his body do. Also, his cape seems to move with a life of its own. Finally, Vincent's body is at room temperature and is, as far as modern medical science can tell, dead.)
-Taken memories (-2; Vincent does not remember everything about his life, both because he was truly dead for a while, and because Hojo has tempered with his brain in the past.)
-Psychological (-3; Vincent is pretty much a very cold, seemingly emotionless person. In truth, he is possibly one of the most caring and kind souls one could hope to meet, he's just really not good at showing it.)
-Compulsion to stick up for underdog (-4; for all his cold and aloof demeanor, Vincent is a hero through and through. He will go out of his way to help people in trouble if there's anything he can do to help.)
-Haunted past (-2; quite possibly a reason for his apparent lack of happiness, Vincent's past is far from pleasant. His first, true love died because of Hojo, and he himself was killed by the man he hated, then genetically altered and brought back to a semblance of life into becoming the "monster" he is now. Having saved the world a couple of times already, he feels better about it now, but he still cannot forgive himself for failing to save the woman he loved... his "Sin", as he calls it himself.)
-Conflicting interest (-2; saving people in need and being a hero against trying to keep what little remains of his humanity.)
EQUIPMENT
-Cerberus (+2, 2x damage, Range 4; Unlimited bullets. The Cerberus is a 3-barrel, large handgun capable of dispatching very tough foes very easily. It can be easily customized with various pieces, allowing Vincent to increase its Wpn.modifier to up to 4, its range to up to 6, and/or make it AP if he so wishes.)
-Death Penalty (+6, 2x damage, AP [Ignores 2 stones of Toughness even with No AP], Range: 5, Unlimited bullets, Indestructible, Exclusive, Collapsible [Vincent can call the weapon at will and make it disappear at will]. This devastating, legendary handgun may only be used by Vincent or its terrible alter-ego, Chaos, and is his ultimate weapon. It provides a +3 bonus to Vincent's Magical actions when held, and fires huge beams of energy that destry everything in their path. When in Chaos form, Vincent automatically has this weapon in hand, but to "call" it in normal form, he must spend 2 additional stones of Energy per panel.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY: Vincent Valentine was the son of a very gifted scientist, the late Grimoire Valentine, who was working for the mega conglomerate Shinra. As he grew up, Vincent decided to work for Shinra as well, so he joined Shinra's "Department of Administrative Research", otherwise known as the Turks (actually, and unbeknowst to him at the time, a group of spies, assassins and secret agents taking care of the dirty jobs assigned to them by Shinra). Quickly becoming a high-ranked agent, he was eventually assigned to supervise the Jenova Project in Nibelheim, a project whose goal was to create super soldiers by experimenting using Jenova Cells.
When he got there, he fell in love with Lucrecia Crescent, a young scientist and the assistant to Gast Faremis. However, when Vincent discovered her link to his deceased father, she distanced herself from him and entered a relationship with her associate, professor Hojo, instead. This hurt Vincent much, but he failed to do anything about it, choosing to remain silent and "respect her decision".
When Lucrecia became pregnant, Hojo wanted to use her and her baby in an experiment. This enraged Vincent, who refused to allow experiments to be done on humans, especially on Lucrecia and her child. He confronted Hojo about this... and Hojo shot, and killed, him for it.
Weeks later, he returned to life. Kind of. His body was a mess and had little to do with anything human... but worse of all, Lucrecia was dead, and Hojo was gone. Ashamed for his failure at saving the one he loved, Vincent sealed himself behind a door in the basement of Shinra mansion and slept there in a coffin for over 20 years.
Eventually, a group of heroes led by one ex-Soldier Cloud Strife ventured into the mansion searching for clues about Sephiroth (Lucrecia and Hojo's son, who had survived his mother's death), and they found Vincent lying in his "tomb". Cloud managed to convince him to accompany them by telling him there were chances they'd eventually run into Hojo. This led him to join Cloud's group, Avalanche, and to fight against Shinra and Sephiroth during the massive conflict that came to be known as the Jenova Wars, during which Vincent helped save the world a couple of times and faced his nemesis, Hojo. He left him for dead, thinking it was finally over. Vincent survived the Jenova Wars both a war hero, and a better man.
A few years later, after helping his friends battle a resurrected Sephiroth and a small cult of criminals bent on causing chaos and mayhem, Vincent became an adventurer, travelling both to find himself and peace. He was eventually called upon by his old friend, Reeve Tuesti, to assist the WRO (World Regenesis Organisation) in fighting Deepground, a secret agency made up of former Elite Soldiers of the late Shinra conglomerate. Their goal was to awaken Omega Weapon, an ancient being whose awakening could have destroyed the world.
He fought them during various battles, eventually learning more about his past and himself. Apparently, the key to gaining control over his inhuman powers was the Protomateria, a mysterious artefact... that had been within his body all this time, thanks to Lucrecia. Apparently, by mastering the secrets of the Protomateria, he would get the ability to transform into Chaos, a primordial cosmic being which had the power to either destroy the world... or save it.
Joining forces with the WRO and his old friends from Avalanche, Vincent led the assault against Deepground, and successfully defeated their leader, Weiss the Immaculate... but not in time to stop him from awakening Omega Weapon. However, all was not lost, for his friends lent him their power, unleashing the Chaos within him as he went to battle Omega Weapon once and for all. It was an epic battle, but he defeated the Weapon, and destroyed it, thus saving the world one more time.
NOTE: Thanks to Dionon, for several of Vincent's actions are inspired by his own FF rules.
