Vincent Albion

Vincent Albion (ヴィンセント・アルビオン, Vuinsento Arubion) is the name of an enormously powerful user of Dragon Slayer Magic; indeed, he is said to be a cataclysmically powerful human who can take upon the visage of a dragon. During the Dragon-Human War, Vincent was taught his Dragon Slayer Magic by an unnamed dragon, and with the best intentions in mind, Vincent went off on his own, attempting to kill every dragon that attempted to harm mankind, bathing in their blood as the overuse of his magic eventually caused his physique to transform into that of a dragon's before he vanished to parts unknown. From this point onward, Vincent was referred to as the White Dragon Albion (白龍・アルビオン, Hakuryū Arubion); he was called The One that Sits in the Ferocious Heavens (烈空座, Retsukūza) as the strongest light and sky Dragon Slayer to ever have existed.

What happened to him after this was unknown; some simply regarded him as a myth or a tale told to young dragons to scare the everloving shit out of them to this day, and some had seen him in person numerous times. What was known about him is that whenever he supposedly appeared, his kind yet fierce attitude constantly showed itself, helping people in need and supporting them with their problems- even if he was there for a moment, Vincent would drop everything and assist them.

In the present day, during the third Dragon Slayer Royale; Vincent happened upon the winner about to take the title. Worried that Dragon Slayers could rise to levels of power akin to the Dragon-Human War and concerned about their immeasurable strength going to their head and thus lording it over regular humans and magician, Vincent stepped in and gave a royal thrashing to the victor, thus gaining the title of Dragon Slayer King (滅龍神, Metsuryūjin). Vincent then hosts the next Dragon Slayer Royale, putting his own twist on the concept- to truly defeat him, a Dragon Slayer must display that they won't let their power go to their head.

Appearance
Vincent is known to be a rather tall man, with fine features and a slender and nearly effeminate build. He is noted to be rather "pretty for a dude". Vincent has an unruly mop of white hair that is cut like it's a bother and just left without any tending to, though its most notable feature is how his bangs are parted in the middle to slightly expose his forehead, as two long clumps trail downwards to frame his youthful face. There is a trio of bundles of white hair exposed in the very middle of his forehead, with the longest extending down to reach his nose; his hair is splayed in all direction, with two noticeable parts curling to the left hand side. His gaze is stern; though it is not without the caring aura that he exudes in every action. His skin is slightly darkened, and his eyes are a fierce red, which are said to bore into the souls of everyone he stares at, piercing the souls of his enemies as they lose the will to fight against this unstoppable maelstrom of destruction.

Personality and Traits
Vincent is known to be overly serious; though he is also known to be cold, serious, stoic, calm and collected, more so than a Dragon Slayer should act. He appears almost ice-cold and quiet; his quietness is not due to a lack of self-confidence however; it is because he is constantly thinking. Deep inside his heart, Vincent is a kind person with good intentions, but the horrors he had experienced during the Human-Dragon War scarred and hardened his views deeply; he displays nothing but fierce determination and serious perseverance in his battles. He has a "no-nonsense" attitude, and follows through with his goals with unexpected determination, putting his goals before anything else unless innocents are at stake. Vincent is a man who sticks to his code of honour no matter the circumstances. He refuses to dabble in immoral acts, and will never stoop so low as to harm those weaker than him. More than that, however, he refuses to kill unless it is absolutely necessary, and will go to extreme lengths to make sure that his foe remains alive. However, he will never back down from a fight, and will accept all challenges unconditionally to make sure his honour is intact at the end of the day. He believes that the strong should protect the weak, and without power, nothing can be done about the state of this world. An onlooker even points out that doing so is suicidally foolish in this day and age, something that Vincent does not deny.

Despite his obsession with his honour, Vincent is a noble and kind man with a soft spot for children and animals. He is often wandering from continent to continent, helping those less fortunate with their troubles even if it sucks up all of his time, though he sees this as a prime opportunity to learn more about the people he is protecting; he would do anything to help his world as well. His trademark is his special salute which he does every time to either greet others or bid them farewell. Always in control of his emotions, Vincent prides himself in following monk-like philosophies of peace. Despite this rough exterior, he has a deep sense of responsibility to those he protects whenever he does manage to become involved; in fact, he would throw his life on the line for anyone in trouble. Despite this, he enjoys getting his work done perfectly and believes risking big in order to win big; more having fun in battle than anything else; though aside from these moments, he says little when he doesn't have to talk, not even bothering to learn the names of many of his opponents if they don't meet his criteria for 'powerful'; he simply challenges them to combat.

Due to the horrors that he and his allies had suffered through during the Human-Dragon War, Vincent demonstrates a powerful hatred towards Dragon Slayers who would lord their overwhelming power over those considered 'weaker', such as regular magicians and normal humans. In his four hundred or more years of living, Vincent had experienced numerous members of his fellow Dragon Slayers become corrupted by their own power and break off from humanity in order to toy with mankind using their powers. This was a major reason why he decided to intervene with the previous Dragon Slayer Royale to take the title, believing that such a title should only go to those who display kindness and compassion to everyone, while also displaying the ability to kill their enemies if they cannot be talked down, no more, no less. With the rise of guilds such as Dragon Soul, Vincent's fears had reached their peak, leading him to finally take action. Despite his dislike of arrogance displayed by Slayers, Vincent also shows a level of arrogance; he is seldom seen worrying, he believes that with his skills, he will always come out on top and does not need to worry about his safety.

History
Born over four centuries ago, Vincent Albion lost his family at the hands of a dragon during the Human-Dragon War; at this moment, Vincent was angry at the world, and to that extent, he searched high and low for a dragon to take his anger out on. Who he met was the Shining Courage Dragon, Valerious, who took him in, expressing regret at what had happened to the child. Over time, Valerious taught Vincent everything that he knew while modifying his Magic Origin to enable his to become a user of an unknown type of Dragon Slayer Magic. However, the life of the dragon ended in tragedy during an evil dragon's attack on him, as he was struck by a Dragon's Roar. With his dying breaths, Valerious wished for Vincent to not try and fight the Black Dragon.

And, of course, Vincent would ignore his mentor's advice as he personally entered the Human-Dragon War on the side supporting coexistence. Holding the memory of his mentor dearly in his heart, Vincent fought with all of his might to support equality, refusing to give up no matter what, even when his supposed 'allies' disregarded the cause their comrades fought for, beginning to turn on their allies to become even stronger. Vincent personally took it upon himself to quell the fears of humans in his dragon allies, hunting down his old friends- in a certain battle, Vincent managed to absorb the Dragon Slayer Magic of an enemy Dragon Slayer, causing the two elements to merge into his signature Dragon Slayer Magic- putting down his allies granted him the moniker of the Radiant Revenger (輝きの撃退者, Kagayaki no Gekitaisha).

As Vincent slew more and more enemy dragons, he noticed a significant change too little too late- due to being covered in the blood of dragonkind and the overuse of his Dragon Slayer Magic, Vincent's physique eventually turned into that of a Dragon's, granting him a power boost beyond his wildest dreams- from this point on, Vincent was known as White Dragon Albion (白龍・アルビオン, Hakuryū Arubion). This granted him numerous new abilities aside from enhanced physical and magical might- one was to transform from dragon form back to human form at a moment's notice. During the final days of the first period of the Human-Dragon War, Vincent managed to use his upgraded Dragon Force to destroy the Black Dragon who killed Valerious before he took his surviving allies who were sick of the carnage and vanished into parts unknown. This meant that neither Vincent nor his friends were around to witness (or suffer) the rise of Acnologia.

The legend of White Dragon Albion had been engraved into Dragon Slayers and Dragons alike, with the former revering him as a messianic figure who appeared one day in a flash of light and singlehandedly made their magic well-known and regarded as a symbol of hope until Acnologia knocked down all that goodwill personally, whereas Dragons referred to him as a devil whose tales were told to young dragons to scare the ever-loving shit out of them to this day. However, Vincent himself, after making sure his allies were well-off, wandered across Earth Land by himself, helping those in need, or whenever he saw somebody having troubles- he would drop everything and stop to help them out, never really giving his name as assisting the person was his form of gratitude.

However, in the current day and age, when Dragon Slayer Magic began to receive a surge of popularity, some certain unsavoury magicians began to use their new powers without any restraint, letting the power of a Dragon Slayer to go to their heads as most of them developed a smug sense of superiority, beginning to lord their power over those weaker; Vincent himself caught wind of this after having to decimate a Fire Dragon Slayer in Bosco during his travels. Disgusted that history was repeating itself, as the strongest Dragon Slayer in the world at this point more or less, Vincent Albion took it upon himself to make sure that those who abused their power would realize that being Dragon Slayer meant fighting to protect the weak and their allies while displaying wariness and forgiveness towards their enemies, not used for selfish gain- to this extent, Vincent stepped into the Dragon Slayer Royale and gave a royal thrashing to the victor, thus gaining the title of Dragon Slayer King (滅龍神, Metsuryūjin); intending to host the next tournament to see if anyone had the qualities of a "True Dragon Slayer".

Ways of Combat
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Like all "Old-Style" Dragon Slayers, Vincent shows immense hand-to-hand prowess to those who have the unfortunate fate of fighting him; as he generally doesn't like armed combat, he solely focuses on hand-to-hand. Indeed, his fighting style is generally quite swift, dealing great damage in the span of a few moments while his opponents are helpless against his vicious barrages that resemble something of a sophisticated attack. Vincent's fighting style is generally quite wild, showing absolutely no restraint in his actions as he attacks. Vincent is naturally attuned to solving things with his fists and feet, devastating opponents through his sheer brute force and speed, more often than not taking the unsuspecting target by surprise through his sheer skill. Indeed, Vincent is renowned throughout the world as one of the greatest martial artists to ever live. Because of his smarts -regarding fighting- indeed, he is without equal in the forte of hand-to-hand combat amongst Dragon Slayers. Due to his countless battles during the Human-Dragon War, Vincent has achieved a peak physical conditioning and prowess, granting him immense reserves of stamina. Vincent's incredible skill in unarmed combat is drastically enhanced by his inherent immense strength, giving him the ability to unleash devastating blows with ease. Vincent's strikes are regarded as less a routine and more a painter improvising on his canvas and carving a masterpiece in naught but a few swishes of his brush; Valerious noted that despite all of the work that Vincent put into perfecting his martial arts skills, he has always had raw natural talent.

Vincent's movements are consistently swift beyond comprehension, with even the most keen-eyed of opponents keeping a constant eye on him in battle, never leaving himself open, making it impossible to take advantage of his stances and blows. Due to a mixture of his raw strength and knowledge of the supernatural, Vincent is capable of smashing through any defense and removing the opponent's Magic Origin just by hitting them hard enough. Vincent's martial arts skills is more a force of nature than anything else, as they constantly blur the line between the physical and the magical; as the world around him becomes an extension of his limbs, from a single punch or kick, howling winds surge forward as incredible tempests tear apart the landscape, a simple stomp into the earth capable of causing tremendous earthquakes, upturning entire sections as fissures and chasms spread outward. Tending to mix it up in the heat of battle, Vincent does not favour either punches or kicks; instead, he uses a liberal application of both, more often than not keeping the opponent guessing each and every time. When fighting opponents hand-to-hand, Vincent makes use of his greater speed to deliver fast strikes to his opponents, which either allows him to deliver several strikes in a split second, or to increase the force behind his strikes in order to make his blows even more powerful. In all cases, due to his aggressive fighting style and his god-like physical skills, a fight against Vincent is more often than not over in less than a few seconds as Vincent turns the surroundings into a raging maelstrom of death and oblivion.

Vincent's way of combat is referred to as Dragon Style (, Doragon Sutairu lit. Dragon Body Combat Method); which is the most commonly seen fighting style that Dragons who have undergone Compact Regression use in battle. It was developed by the human form of the Dragon of Dragons after losing their memories when they discovered their draconic heritage; Dragon Style was developed in order to take full advantage of the overwhelming power of a dragon. Indeed, the primary use of Dragon Style is to incorporate actually draconic elements into battle, as a contrast to the imitation known as Dragon Slayer Magic, Dragon Style focuses solely upon bringing out the deadly close-range armaments unique to their body. The primary use of their draconic powers is transforming one or more of their limbs into parts of their old full-body dragon form upon chosen parts of their body at will, simply by mental command. This allows the user to harness a portion of their old body's power for countless attacks; and hitting with the tip of the manifested limb deals more damage- the user can harness this property to augment their own hand-to-hand blows.

Generally, the user projects their aura outwards with every strike that they unleash, releasing corporal energy in the shape of the dragon equivalent of the limb they strike with; for example, their punching is augmented by a lance of energy that overlays their arm. This grants the user an unexpected amount of range, allowing them to take opponents by surprise- simply by throwing an attack at their enemy, they can launch the projection of the dragon's limb towards them from a distance. Generally, the Dragon Style has no proper 'form' or 'combat stance', making their movements up as they go in the heat of battle, while also following their basic instincts and what they know about hand-to-hand combat, resulting in a truly effective combination of unpredictability and a tried-and-true formula. The ability to manifest their dragon abilities at any given time makes for a very wild and unpredictable fighting style, especially compared to the imitations known as Dragon Slayers. Many of their attacks are done by sprouting a dragon limb for an alarming boost in range, confounding anyone expecting an area of effect limited to their human form.

In any case, a user of Dragon Style can be considered a ranged character that fights like a melee character. While the user has only two projectile attacks, almost all of their melee attacks have impressive reach and disjointed area of effects, and they do more damage and knockback at a distance. Regarding the main method of offense, not only do the limbs of their old dragon body boost the user's offensive power, they project an aura of the user's original dragon form outwards to attack one more time- while not as powerful as the initial strike, it can catch foes offguard. The aura of their dragon form can come alive and bite down on anything when the user wills it to, and it can extend itself for a few feet to chomp on a hapless and most likely taken-back foe. Their attacks also have unique gimmicks- one could say that the user of Dragon Style will constantly keep the opponent guessing, with virtually unlimited options at their disposal.
 * Dragolance Smasher (, Doragoransu Sumasshā lit. Leaping Spear Thrust): Dragolance Smasher is the main offensive close-range attack of the Dragon Style- when performing Dragolance Smasher, the user morphs one of their arms into a lance-like appendage before thrusting forward at close-range and at high speeds towards an unlucky opponent; causing aside from sheer blunt damage, tearing damage from coming into contact with the user's scales as well. The strike is modeled after the One-Inch Punch, which is a punch performed at a range of 0–15 cm (0–6 in); this means that Dragolance Smasher uses explosive power to generate tremendous amounts of impact force at extremely close distances, generating a burst effect. When performing this attack, the user stands with their fist very close to the target, making it a close-range technique. A quick movement of the wrist produces the force needed, the wrist is held with the knuckles facing out on a horizontal axis, the wrist is then moved up and a strike is produced with the bottom two knuckles before transforming their arm into a lance- at its lowest power, Dragolance Smasher is able to cause the opponent to flat-line. The lance creates a grinding drill effect that blasts into the opponent, inflicting major damage and launching them far away, creating an impact which is powerful enough to propel the unlucky recipient several meters away. The incredible speed both makes the strike far more powerful, and harder to dodge. The amount of time in which these actions transpire make it seem as if the opponent has been smashed with the force of a powerful cannon shell, absolutely decimating their body and shattering weak defenses in an instant. Dragolance Smasher has two other variations, one which grounds the enemy and one that serves as a long-range attack.
 * Dragolance Smasher – Grounder Version (, Doragoransu Sumasshā: Guranda Bājon lit. Leaping Spear Thrust: Earth Burial Style): When approaching the opponent, the user takes a short and quick leap forward into the air before morphing one of their arms into a lance-like appendage and thrusting it at high speeds, aimed at a downward angle. If the appendage makes contact with a solid surface, the user will stay in that position, and any opponents caught in the attack while it is held will be pinned with the user, unable to move; when pinned, the enemy is unable to move until it wears off, though they cannot be grabbed. The amount of time an opponent remains pinned is dependent on that fighter's remaining stamina and magical power; the more exhausted they are, the longer they will be stuck to the ground. An enemy can only be pinned if already standing on the ground; and the opponent flaring up their magical energy can reduce the duration of time when pinned. When the user pins the opponent to the ground with Dragolance Smasher, the user can follow up the attack with a leaping kick either aimed forwards or backwards, they can leap into the skies for a breather, or simply cancel the attack; however, one thing is consistent- the user can time this version of Dragolance Smasher to hit the ground or not. Sticking an opponent and kicking either forward or backward can allow the user to lunge in that direction; though if lunging backward, any pinned opponents will be released harmlessly. Struck opponents are launched, and the user will fly a considerable distance at a low angle.
 * Dragolance Smasher – Distance Version (, Doragoransu Sumasshā: Disutansu Bājon lit. Leaping Spear Thrust: Fang Shoot Style): When performing this version of the Dragolance Smasher, the user morphs one of their arms into a lance-like appendage before gathering and condensing energy upon it, compressing the energy to its utmost limit. Once the desired amount of energy has been gathered, the user launches an enormous sphere of pure energy from the tip of their appendage- upon impact, it produces a massive blast of energy that spirals out from the epicenter of the point where the sphere impacted; forming into a wavy circle of energy that smashes through the target. If the user so wishes it, the Dragolance Smasher is capable of homing upon an opponent, dodging many an obstacle until it reaches the user's intended target; however, most of the time, the spell smashes through anything that it touches until it reaches the target. The projectile paralyzes opponents for a period of time depending on charge; meaning that they are unable to react properly for a couple of seconds, allowing the user to attack them in any way that they wish or healing themselves in a breather. The sheer heat radiating from the attack has enough force to cut through solid steel and even pierce through a magical barrier.
 * Drago Wings (, Dorago Uingu lit. Soaring Dragon Wings): The Drago Wings are the best recovery option for a user of Dragon Style; when initiating the Drago Wings, the user gathers energy upon their back before morphing this energy into the wings of their old dragon form, which vary in appearance from dragon to dragon. Using the immense power of their wing beats, the user is capable of ascending into the air; and following up on that, the user is show to be able of achieving extremely high speeds while leaving behind a trail of visible after-images to confuse their enemies. The speed and after-images granted by the Drago Wings allow the user to effectively dodge multi-directional attacks; indeed, activating this attack causes a slip stream effect that allows the user to achieve speeds normally impossible to them in any location. As the user takes off or during ascension, they can drag opponents with them as they deal damage, spreading their wings with the final hit. By charging their wings with energy, this grants the user an additional defensive measure as well as immense propulsion, allowing them to build up speed over time as they dart through the air; allowing them to travel over long distances, maneuver high up in the air and perform aerial assaults on those below them. Before takeoff, the angle of the ascent can be altered; by default, the user will ascend moderately high -just over the height of a ground jump- upward and slightly forward. However, if the user aims in the opposite direction that they are facing, they will fly up higher than usual and straight upwards, while simply aiming forward will result in their ascension losing minor vertical height and gain better horizontal distance and speed.
 * Drago Claws (, Dorago Kurō lit. Furious Dragon Fangs and Claws): When initiating the Drago Claws, the user morphs one of their arms into the claws of their dragon form; more often than not, these claws have a serrated appearance; similar to overly-long nails or the fangs of a dragon; again, they vary in appearance from dragon to dragon. They are reportedly extremely powerful; able to cleave through almost anything that the user can see, and deal astronomical damage to beings of demonic origin. Due to the length and sharpness of the claws, one swing can inflict multiple aggravating wounds and cut through walls and rocks. With Drago Claw activated, the user can strike with such swiftness that they will not know what struck them until it is too late; the claws can also have supplementary abilities such as creating energy beams from them and they can even project their natural element from these claws. The user can extend their claws at extremely high speeds, faster than the untrained eye can see; the sheer force and velocity of the user's hand movements only bolster their attack, granting a powerful attack capable of gouging a hole in the enemy's body, no matter how resilient they are, even if they're harnessing any form of power booster- countless foes have fallen to the overwhelming power of this spell, despite how deceptively simple it looks. The Drago Claw has the unique ability of allowing the user to grab onto an opponent in midair; and in any case, once grabbed, the user is capable of throwing the opponent in two directions, forwards and backwards. If the user hits their enemies farther away, then their opponents will be sent upward with high vertical knockback. The amount of time in which these actions transpire make it seem as if the opponent has been slashed with the force of a powerful cannon shell, blowing them away instantly after the spell has been performed.

Physical Prowess
Immense Strength: Vincent has strength that surpasses even that of Dragon Slayers in the present day, due to his origin; he possesses phenomenal strength and superior hand-eye coordination, which offers some resistance against supernatural powers even without taking his origins into account. He is strong enough to break an enormous tree in half; and he can upturn huge portions of rock floor with a single stomp at the ground with his leg. Generally, Vincent's inherent immense power is only amplified by the momentum at which he moves; making him strong enough to cut through enemies, burrow through the ground, smash through surfaces by stomping, or break down walls. Vincent is shown to have the ability to lift and press two hundred metric tons, and he is able to tear limbs from enemy Dragon Slayers' bodies with brute force alone; and he can split the hydrogen in the air just by swinging his hands downwards, enabling Vincent to unleash a small explosion that can blow his opposition away. His own punches have enough force to shatter diamonds into pieces, and, by punching the air, he is shown to be capable of destroying machines with pure air force. One simple swing of his fist is enough to create powerful shockwaves of air, similar to his punches that produce similar destructive feats; this ability plays into his martial arts style, and he has demonstrated that he is strong enough to enable him to knock out people with normal durability with as little as a tap to the head; unless they are capable of using high-tier Dragon Force power ups, and even then, with his own Dragon Slayer Magic, he can rip through the opponent like butter. Vincent's physical strength also extends into his legs, enabling him to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound; he demonstrated this when he leaped over thirty feet vertically into the air when he first leaped out of the way of an oncoming car; and his power has only increased drastically from there; as a note, he is capable of lifting a thousand ton boulder using a single hand with very little effort exerted. Essentially, due to a combination of speed, strength, durability, and his Dragon Slayer prowess, Vincent is a 'flying brick' (without the flight, of course), which is essentially somebody with the powers of a superhero in all but name.

Immense Speed and Reflexes: Vincent's speed enables him to move faster than the eye can literally follow; he moves in a blur which makes him hard to follow and discern even if one can follow his speed. He has been observed by many characters as running like he is flying and slowing his falls in mid-air; however, this is not true flight per-se, but instead, an effect of his masterful control over his own pace. Because there is no air resistance to slow him down, Vincent is more than capable of catching up to and keeping pace with even the swiftest of opposition. Due to his speed, Vincent is more than capable of instantaneously closing long distances without being detected by others- even if the opponent is several thousand kilometers away. He is capable of moving so fast that he can decimate an entire battalion of warriors without they even having time to react; and he is able to instantly react to and avoid attacks even at point-blank range from people as powerful as S-Class level magicians; vanishing from sight instantly. He can use using his agility to his advantage by bounding around like a destructive ball in order to keep his opponents guessing all the time. He has also shown on several occasions that he can jump incredibly long distances, up to twenty meters by applying his Dragon Slayer Magic to his jumps. He often only appears as a golden shimmer of energy as per his epithet, with only the fastest foes even catching sight of his true figure during a battle; this incredible speed gives him an edge in battle against slower or close-range fighters. It should be noted that Vincent runs at high speed with slow-paced strides; and his speed enables him to run at speeds greater than Mach one, which is at the blistering speed of seven hundred and sixty-eight miles per hour; in essence, his speed is such that he can move so fast as to cause miniature sonic booms when he kicks off to start a dash. Indeed, Vincent has been shown to be able to evade many a combatant in both long and close-range; his movements are so tremendously swift that few would be likely to see an attack take place—this enables him to attack almost a multiple of three times in a row per second. Not only that, but his movement is scarily perfect, being both fluid and precise; indeed, it is rare for him to make painful looking gestures while in motion. His speed also allows him to follow the movements of faster opponents in order to better analyze their movements or deflect difficult and otherwise fatal strikes with a bit of difficulty. In addition, Vincent is amazingly well coordinated, as he is able to catch bullets from all sorts of guns and even some magical projectiles in mid-air between his fingers; her tremendous reflexes, agility and speed usually enables him to dodge many a powerful projectile while balancing himself on a single limb. Naturally, with great speed, comes great reflexes; it has been shown time and time again that Vincent's reflexes enhance his speed even further. Vincent is also shown to have sharp reflexes and acrobatic skills, being able to do special tricks and movements while in mid-air, and he possesses astonishing reflexes, and the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow, and he is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength due to having transformed into a dragon. Vincent has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats; and he can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs- this is all because his movement style is similar to Parkour.

Immense Durability and Endurance: Vincent has an immense amount of durability; though this is partially due to transforming into a dragon, thus gaining dragon scales. Vincent has immense tolerance to pain, being able to withstand stab wounds from large blades in his back, legs, torso, and arms and still maintain consciousness. He has shown to be capable of surviving considerable blunt force trauma, and he can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort. His durability enables him to rise from attack after attack after attack on numerous occasions, more often than not surprising and confounding his foe, striking fear into their hearts. Vincent's body is durable to the point where tensing his super-strong muscles while being punched in the torso by a trained heavyweight boxer caused the attacker's wrists to break; also, Vincent has stated that he must roll with punches thrown by people without similar strength or durability to avoid breaking their wrists. Due to having the scales of a dragon, Vincent's skin is thick enough for him to survive being cut up by wind blades, which are capable of slicing through steel; being bombarded by magic blast upon magic blast by a dragon does not faze him in the slightest. This level of durability is how he survived other forms of extensive punishment, such as falls from several stories like when she landed on a vehicle from seven stories with no discomfort. Vincent's durability is high enough to where he can take blows from numerous beings with Lost Magic-enhanced strength and not be fatally injured; though naturally, it does pain him, if only slightly- he can also catch and break a sword in-between his teeth. Additionally, Vincent possesses near-maximized physical endurance to match his strength, and is capable of taking as much major punishment as he is able to deal out; capable of holding off a multitude of highly powerful foes without rest. Due to obtaining the physiology of a dragon, Vincent has enhanced stamina, and because of this, his musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human; as such, he can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.

Magical Abilities
Immeasurable Magical Power: As one of the more powerful Dragon Slayers, Vincent is known to have an absolutely astounding amount of magical power. Vincent has natural control over the exertion of his magical power, keeping it contained to the point where it is virtually impossible to detect him by normal means, though the constant effort can be taxing. Due to becoming a dragon, even without using his Dragon Slayer Magic, Vincent is capable of manifesting characteristics typical of a dragon: lungs capable of spewing elemental energy on a higher tier than other magicians, scales that grant protection against an unspecified element, and nails covered in some sort of elemental energy; he uses this power to augment his own hand-to-hand blows. Interestingly, Vincent is capable of morphing the properties of his magical power; as it normally saturates the vicinity as shining puffs or clouds of magical power, that usually shifts from the texture of a mystical golden to a raging scarlet; these clouds are the embodiment of Vincent's thoughts, brought forth by his absolutely enormous magical power—people will perceive his magical energy all around the area, instead of it originating from Vincent's body, leaving them unable to exactly pinpoint Vincent's existence. Vincent has unlocked his Second Origin (二原, Nigen) and as such, it is permanently activated, granting far greater reserves of magical energy than many other magicians. Magic originates from a Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), which is exactly what the wording indicates—it is a special organ that is located within the body of a magician, that absorbs eternano and bunches it up into clusters, which is processed into magical power. Every Mage has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power; this is precisely what a Magic Origin is. If the case becomes empty, eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the Mage's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. A Dragon's Magic Origin is drastically different than any other race's; it is referred to as the Factor of the Dragon (竜の因子, Ryū no Inshi); the dragon's origin produces a unique magical power that transcends what could be achieved by normal humans. Normally, a magician's body could be considered a machine which created magical energy, a Dragon's magic origin acts as a factory which created magical energy. It functions as an enormous magic core with tremendous capacity that generates energy independent from their body simply through breathing. To this extent, when flared up to its greatest extent, the magical aura of the White Dragon is capable of disrupting all forms of defensive-based magic. As a byproduct of his immense power, Vincent is immune to the effects of manipulation-based magics, including the non-existent Dragon Supremacy Magic.
 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気, Maryoku no Reiki): A Magical Aura is a common term given to the exertion of magical energy into a form outside of the user's body that isn't used in the formation of spells. It has been demonstrated by various mages of varying potency, and is a common means of intimidation. A magical aura is created when the body's container of Eternano particles exceeds the limits of what it contains, or is purposefully released by the user. Upon doing so, the magical energy surges around the body and is exerted outwards in the form of an aura, which holds considerable pressure surrounding it. Depending on the level of magical power one possesses and the control behind it, it can be used as a means to intimidate another individual, or as a preparation for a powerful spell. A single magical aura can have a wide variety of effects dependent on the power an individual exerts, which will be outlined in the following sections. A standard aura is produced by mages with a moderate level of magical power within their body. Upon release of his magical aura, the magical aura almost consumes Vincent in their colour, leaving nothing but a phantom-like apparition to remain. It should also be noted that the aura is far wider, and is generally uncontrolled by Vincent. However, "Monster" auras aren't limited to intimidation, and can be used for the preparation of a spell; this is seen when Vincent uses his Dragon Slayer's Secret Arts, which can cause the environment to become distorted due to the sheer level of magical power concentrated in the atmosphere thanks to his release of power. The presence it exudes is completely at odds with his appearance; the magical energy itself is a vibrant golden, crackling intensely when Vincent focuses on a singular target; when his aura is fully released, it takes the form of the frightening visage of his dragon form which surrounds him, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. It is also worth noting that the pressure exhibited from such an aura can form a large column of energy, leaving the pressure enough to visibly cause strain on individuals even from a considerable distance away from the exertion of the aura, indicating at the sheer level of power within this aura. By exerting it outward, it forms a thin layer of pressure that can cause one to be intimidated if they are much weaker than Vincent; this power can be seen throughout many of his battles, as he's generally holding back- the sheer density of Vincent's aura can cause physical attacks to be repelled with notable ease.
 * Magic Skill: Eternano Haste (魔技・復魔力 (エーテルナノ・ヘイスト), Magi: Ēterunano Heisuto lit. Magic Power Restoration): The Magic Skill known as Eternano Haste is a rather rare skill that only the most powerful of magicians are born with, or they develop later in life. However, firstly, as it has been discovered, some magicians, once they have mastered the art of magic, are capable of manipulating eternano, or just plain showing off unique ways to utilize magic, far beyond the norm. These skills are collectively known as Magic Skills (魔技, Magi) instead of magic proper; thanks to being simply a manipulation and extension of the basics, as opposed to using magic to create a new function entirely. In this case, while normally, eternano flows into the magician's Magic Origin from the atmosphere after their magical power has been expended. However, if the magician has access to Eternano Haste, then eternano will enter the magician's body much quicker—when they are half out of energy, the user's Magic Origin initiates a suction effect, absorbing any ambient eternano from the atmosphere and drawing it into the user's body, restoring their magical power. However, this can only be done five times per battle, as after that, the area will be devoid of eternano, rendering both magicians' magic effectively useless.
 * Strength Limiter: Enchant Dragunov (, Sutorengusu Rimittā: Enchanto Doragunofu lit. Organic Link Magic Secret Art: Dragon Slayer Magical Power Restriction): Enchant Dragunov is a Organic Link Magic (生連魔法, Seirenmahō) spell; which is a Caster Magic. Organic Link Magic revolves around the creation of links between people and Magics in various ways. The first way shown was an attack reversal of sorts, meaning if a person were to damage or destroy a specific target, then the person responsible would also receive the same amount of damage dealt as well. The second way this Magic is used is linking one's own Magic Power to an object in order to supply it with Magic Power. The last known usage of this Magic is for it to serve as a bind or a seal linking a group of Mages in order to seal away someone or something. As Vincent grew stronger and stronger during the Dragon Civil War, he became afraid that eventually his body could not comfortably contain his strength and he eventually he would lose control, and Enchant Dragunov was developed to limit his actual strength as to allow Vincent to avoid killing anyone by accident. When the ability is in effect, Vincent gathers stray eternano within the atmosphere; condensing it upon his own body as to completely and utterly compress his eternano and magical aura; forging it upon his body as to prevent Vincent from killing anyone by a simple misfire. Indeed, it also enables Vincent to reach levels of physical and magical prowess most magicians would have their bodies give out at and cannot handle; however, this level of power is inferior to his true power—and it serves as a limiter of sorts, constantly dialing his power back to ten percent when fully sealed- despite this, Vincent is considered stronger than most other magicians, even those with Slayer Magic or Lost Magic. Enchant Dragunov is a method to ensure that Vincent will not channel more magical energy than permitted, effectively reducing his power several levels; since his power of great magnitude endangers the fabric of the time-space; and in addition to that, if he were to go all-out on an opponent, it would mean that he could be capable of killing everyone that he faces in a single strike.

Dragon Slayer Magic
Dragon Slayer Magic (滅竜魔法, Metsuryū Mahō) is a Caster Magic, Lost Magic, and Slayer Magic that allows its users to transform their physical bodies into a Dragon. Dragon Slayer Magic is formed during the process of a Dragon teaching it to a human. It's a form of magic that requires a physiological change in order to properly employ, as demonstrated when a specific Lacrima is required to artificially gain this power. During the initial training of utilizing this magic, the Dragon who passes on this magic actually creates a magical change in how the body's origin (internal magical power) worked, therefore causing their bodies to possess the magical powers of a Dragon - otherwise known as Dragon Slayer Magic. Continuing with this process, this magical power acts alongside the energy of the body in order to catalyze a variety of bodily processes when younger, therefore allowing the morphing of their physiology to a point where the individual has adopted some physical traits, as well as the element, from the said Dragon.

As a result of the magic's mechanics, the user can transform their body with features of their respective element, utilizing both offensive and defensive styles. They can consume external sources of their respective natural element to replenish their own energy. A Dragon Slayer is immune to the effects of their own element, and can consume external sources of their element to replenish their strength. However, a Dragon Slayer cannot consume the element that they produce themselves, and elements must be consumed through the mouth. It is known that certain Dragon Slayers have been able to consume elements other than their own, allowing them to combine both elements inside their bodies and use them to increase their abilities. Dragon Slayer Magic seems to be the only way to kill, or even hurt Dragons, who are shown to be mostly unaffected by other forms of Magic.

Vincent himself is one of the few users of Ancient Generation Dragon Slayer Magic (古代滅竜魔法, Kodai Metsuryū Mahō); a thought-to-be extinct type of Dragon Slayer whom only existed during the Dragon Civil War, where they were taught by the very first dragons a "pure" form of Dragon Slayer Magic- unaltered by the introduction of dual-modes and various other "gimmicky crap"; this version of Dragon Slayer Magic is stated to be simply "to harness the power of a dragon at its strongest", as the addition of countless other abilities modified the Dragon Slayer Magic to the point that it is nearly unrecognizable from its "true form". As such, due to slaying countless Dragons and defeating numerous Dragon Slayers with not-so-good intentions, Vincent's Dragon Slayer Magic has grown in power over four centuries to become stronger than almost any other. While his White Dragon Slayer Magic evolving into Aether Dragon Slayer Magic due to absorbing an enemy's Sky Dragon Slayer Magic, this was merely but a kink in its power- the benefits granted by the two elements far outweighed the drawbacks.
 * Ancient Generation Dragon Slayer Magic Skill: Elemental Shift (古代滅竜魔技・要素変, Kodai Metsuryū Magi: Yōsohen): A skill exclusive to Ancient Dragon Slayers who, during the Dragon Civil War, managed to kill numerous dragons- as their magic should actually do; it is considered an Ancient Generation Dragon Slayer's ace in the hole. When performing Elemental Shift, the user is capable of converting a spell of an opposing nature into their own element—upon contact with the opposing natured spell, the user thrusts their hand outwards, before gathering and condensing their element upon their hand, before touching the opposing natured spell, using their magical power in order to take ahold of the attack and influencing its shape and structure, turning it into their own element, effectively rendering the user's spell null and void. While almost 'game-breaking', it does have a specific limit to what can and cannot be affected—for example, 'natural' elements such as fire, wind, water, earth, forest, wood, and iron can be effected by Elemental Shift, but anything related to a phenomena, such as lightning, darkness, steel, and light, will be capable of striking through this Magic Skill. However, the user is still subject any secondary effects the attack could have when performing Elemental Shift; in addition, since Elemental Shift turns the opposing natural element into their own element, the user is incapable of absorbing it for sustenance—instead, Elemental Shift simply dissipates the enemy's attack.
 * Final Step: Dragorize (, Fainaru Suteppu: Dragoraizu lit. Ancient Generation Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Turn into a Dragon): The Final Step: Dragorize is a spell exclusive to Dragon Slayers who bathed in the blood of countless dragons, which resulted in them gaining the ability to transform into a dragon themselves. When Dragorize is activated, this causes an instant change in the form of the user which blatantly ignores the law of conservation of mass, going from a (comparatively) small human into house-sized dragon in seconds (but hey, it's dragon magic); they can also return <> transform into a dragon in a mere thought at will. Surprisingly, Dragorize is not taxing upon the user's body or magical reserves, and the moment that the user releases this spell, they gain all of their dragon form's strength, speed, durability, and magical power, at the top of their form once more. Being a dragon, the user possesses the ability to fly; using their large wings to travel over long distances and at high speeds, manoeuvre high up in the air and perform aerial assaults on those below the user; and given their now gargantuan size, the user is capable of easily reducing a house into rubbles simply by landing on it after flying high up into the sky. Their strength is shown to be enough to level small houses with a swipe of their tail, and they are also able to break through even the sturdiest defenses. In this form, the user is shown to be capable of shrugging off many a powerful spell; even including Dragon Slayer Magic; which is supposed to be supremely effective against dragons.

Unknown Dragon Slayer Magic
Unknown Dragon Slayer Magic (？？？の滅竜魔法, ??? no Metsuryū Mahō) is a Caster Magic, Lost Magic, and lastly, as well as most obviously, a Dragon Slayer Magic that is exclusive to Vincent. Essentially, this unknown Dragon Slayer Magic enables Vincent to manipulate, generate, absorb, and generally have absolute dominance over his element and anything related to it, allowing his to produce his element from any part of his body, including his lungs, giving him the ability to, in essence, breathe his element. While it is unknown what it really is, Vincent's Dragon Slayer Magic manifests in the form of numerous wisps of light that trail his physical blows; upon contact, the wisps detonate in an explosion that has various sizes. Additionally, this Dragon Slayer Magic can appear as a stream of pure energy with laser-like properties. Generally, this unknown Dragon Slayer Magic has a light-esque theme to it, perhaps hinting to its true nature. Even other Dragon Slayers have commented how bizarre Vincent's magic is, as it seems to not really follow any consistent theme, thus making his element nearly impossible to properly pin down. Vincent himself is deliberately keeping his element unknown, so that people would be more surprised upon seeing it for themselves.
 * ??? Dragon's ??? Fist (？？？竜の？？？拳, ???ryū no ???ken): Vincent's only shown attack before the final match; when performing this attack, he punches forward with amazing speed and strength; more than enough to smash through the scales of the previous Dragon Slayer King of the current era's Dragon Force with no effort exerted; the aftereffect of the attack also caused a wave of energy to wash over the vicinity, reducing the skies to a colourless void. ??? Dragon's ??? Fist was capable of defeating the previous winner of the Dragon Slayer Royale in a single blow. Not much is known about it for now, but it is confirmed that Vincent was only using a small portion of its full power.

Dragon Force
Dragon Force (, Doragon Fōsu lit. Dragon's Power) is an advanced Dragon Slayer ability. When a Dragon Slayer enters Dragon Force, they effectively turn into a humanoid Dragon, gaining reptilian scales and traits, such as further elongated, and sharper, canines and scale-like patterns on their skin. According to Zero, Dragon Force is the final, most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain; granting them power comparable to that which a real Dragon possesses: the power to utterly destroy everything. Dragon Force greatly increases the damage done by standard Dragon Slayer spells, and grants the user access to more advanced, powerful attacks. It also drastically enhances the user's physical prowess, making them far stronger, more resistant to damage, and faster, and considerably boosts their Magic Power, which becomes visible, taking the appearance of a Dragon. When exuded at its fullest, said Magic Power takes on a violent corporeality, likely as a result of the immense amount of Magic power employed.

The sudden boost in strength upon activating the form allows the user to break free from any attack which binds them or prevents them from moving. In this form, the user can grab a blade with their hand without feeling any of the exerted force, though said force could do considerable damage to the surrounding area. In addition, the user's endurance has been upped significantly; enabling them to receive damage like it was nothing and ignore all senses of pain—though it should be noted that this varies on the factor of how powerful the blow is. Finally, the user's naturally immense swiftness is augmented to the point that they can forgo any need for speed-enhancing techniques, enabling them to outstrip almost anyone in a contest of pure speed. Dragon Force increases the user's moving pace to one high enough where simple melee attacks can have great power, giving him the ability to move at a rate of acceleration and maximum speed in excess to that of normal optimal human capacity. With their speed, the user has plucked an arrow out of the air from a standing start, and has dodged machine gun fire; and the user has created cyclone-like gusts of wind, which are able to knock a man off his feet.

While in this state, Vincent demonstrates heightened reflexes and extremely quick information processing, and it amplifies the powers of his magic without exhausting himself. Dragon Force has a notable amount of startup invincibility, so if his opponent is attacking him while he is activating the skill, Vincent will be capable of counterattacking immediately as to turn the tides instantly. Additionally, Vincent demonstrates the ability to heighten the effect of this spell to increasingly higher multiplications. However, this ability is a double-edged sword; visually, this ability causes large amounts of magical energy to become emitted from Vincent's shoulders, arms, legs, and knees in the form of beams of pure energy. What is interesting to note, is that Vincent's standard Dragon Force is as powerful as a Draconic Sovereign if not moreso, due to his origins as an Ancient Generation Dragon Slayer, and he can activate it without any drawbacks for a theoretically infinite amount of time at will.

Trivia

 * Vincent is designed to be the "final boss" of this year's Dragon Slayer Royale; the final opponent faced by anyone who manages to defeat the rest.
 * Vincent's actual Dragon Slayer Magic and upgraded Dragon Force will be revealed before the final match, as to prevent anyone thinking of how to counter it and making a sufficiently difficult challenge.
