Education: Cornelius has taken all mandatory education but no further. His grades have been consistently poor throughout his life.
Fears: Scorpions
Personal goals: Cornelius is not proud of his life as it is and would like to improve the opinion others have of him, as well as manage to hold onto a steady relationship and remain in the band without having to worry about dropping out. Due to how much he has struggled to hold a steady job before forming the band, Cornelius has spent most of his adult life either still living with his parents or sleeping on a friend's sofa, and he would like to be able to live on his own for once.
General attitude: Though he has issues committing to one thing and keeping things stable, especially since he often finds himself overtired, Cornelius does his best whenever he is able, and tries to work hard. He doesn't have much faith in himself and his abilities and as a result loses motivation easily.

Energy level: Low.
Eating habits: Unstable. Cornelius' appetite tends to vary a lot.
Memory: Fair.
Any unhealthy habits: A few, that basically culminate in poor self-care, mostly prompted by already poor energy levels and chronic migraines.

History

Birth country: England
Hometown: Liverpool
Childhood: Cornelius had a relatively normal childhood. He took an interest in musical instruments at an early age and learned to play several, as he could never settle on just one, however because he split himself unevenly between them and got bored too quickly and moved on to the next one, he failed to master any of them.
Teen years: In his early-mid teens, Cornelius started developing migraines and tended  to suffer severe attacks. Around this time, he began to lose his motivation in multiple aspects of life and found himself struggling to manage at school.
Adult years: Cornelius struggled to hold down a job and  a relationship  for  long, often having to move on to something new after only a short time. He met Russell and Sierra when he was 23 at a shop the three all worked at, and  the three bonded  over a mix of their musical interests and abilities. A year later, after one of his relationships dissolved, he found out he'd conceived a child with the partner in question. Though she wasn't too happy with the idea of having Cornelius around the child, as she considered him an 'attention-seeking deadbeat', she allowed him parental rights on his request. When Cornelius was 25, Sierra introduced the boys to Kerian Kanashimi, and the four toyed with the idea of forming a band. It wasn't until the beginning  of  the  year Cornelius turned  27 that the band thing picked up, they got an agent and Discord December became a success.
Past places of residence: None known.
History of family: His family had had a long history of careers in music. He is of Romani heritage on his mother's side and one of his grandmothers is Romanian.

Relationships

Parents: His parents' names were Atticus and Demetria. His relationship with them is alright, but he feels they are somewhat disappointed in him. It is currently unknown why exactly they made him leave home when he was staying with them. He has a good relationship with his grandparents.
Siblings: None
Any enemies (and why): None specifically come to mind.
Children: One child with a previous partner named Cassandra-June Crossley. She is four.
Friends: Cornelius has a few friends, but none of them especially close. He is friends with the other members of Discord December.
Best friend(s): Most likely his band mates, Russell, Sierra and Kerian, as they are the people he spends most of his time with.
Important friends/relatives (explain): None specifically come to mind. He is rather close to his grandparents, though, as he saw them often growing up, and still stops by now and then when he can just to spend time with them.
Love interest (if there is one): He's had many relationships  with many women. According to Russell, Cornelius  is 'always in and out of relationships, but never either way for long'. Obviously, Cassandra-June's mother, Randi, is a significant former  partner and one he still has regular, but non-romantic and not necessarily even friendly contact with. He also has feelings  for Kerian Kanashimi, but isn't willing to act on these feelings for various reasons, including but not limited to fear of disrupting the dynamic of the band or their friendship, and because of his current inability to hold a steady relationship. His current girlfriend is unknown, but they met while he was on tour. They probably won't last long.

History

Birth country: USA
Hometown: Hialeah
Childhood: Vincent met Seth because his father was friends with Seth's mother. The two attended a Sunday school that taught a mixed age-group class, and he found it easy to make friends both there and at his elementary school when he began there.
Teen years: Vincent attended a different secondary school to Seth, but the same one as quite a few of his friends of his own age. His cheerful and relaxing attitude helped him make friends, and he took an active interest in the school's sports clubs. At some point, he developed unspecified problems with his throat, and at age 14, after complications during surgery, Vincent lost his ability to speak. During his recovery from surgery, Vincent learnt sign language to communicate, and his family and Seth learnt with him to make things easier for him. Vincent's parents wanted to move him out of his current school and into a specialist school, but Vincent objected.
Adult years: At 18, Vincent was convinced by Seth to accompany him to answer an online advert looking for a bass guitarist and a drummer for their band, partially because Seth was worried it might be sketchy. Here they met Mal Morrow and Yesenia Greaves, who ultimately decided to have Seth and Vincent be part of their band.

Any enemies (and why): None known.
Children: None yet. He definitely plans to have some in future, most likely in his thirties. Or when the band splits. Whatever comes first.
Friends: Mal Morrow, Seth Moon and Yesenia Greaves. As well as them, Vincent finds it easy to befriend others and has a fairly wide circle of friends.
Best friend(s): Most likely Seth, who has been his friend since they were both little.
