Entrance Music – Now More Than Ever

Personality: Seemingly lackadaisical and laid back to a fault upon first impressions, Van’s portrayal is one of an easygoing slacker who prefers simplicity in his life as opposed to overcomplicating matters when he can. Van’s nature stemming from him having accrued a lifetime’s worth of experience dealing with some of the dregs of society. Accruing a steadfast competency and skilled aptitude for problem-solving whenever hurdles are placed in his path. Dry and pragmatic with a knack for forging relationships in spite of his loner persona, albeit sometimes with the intentions of merely having others indebted to him. Skilled and capable with a charismatic and affable demeanor, Van’s debonair confidence can nevertheless show cracks whenever allowed to speak about one of his hidden passions usually with childlike wonder and enthusiasm.  

Past/History:

Van’s own description of his unique methodology isn’t written on the back of his business cards for nothing. Those words being a seamless reflection of not only the manner in which he conducts himself and handles his assignments whenever he’s on the job, but his own personal viewpoint on life in general. Van preferring to live within the indecipherable shades of grey rather than on the side of stalwart justice or heinous criminality. It just fits his tempo better as a problem solver for hire. Free to accept or reject whatever jobs are offered depending on the circumstances and details involved. Whether it’s taking pictures as evidence of a philandering spouse, escorting clients out of the country who may be targeted by the mafia or on the run from the fuzz, finding a lost cat, being recruited as hired muscle into gang wars, or merely acting as a courier himself. If the pay is right and Van has the time and willingness, you yourself could wind up hiring the most capable handyman in the underworld, or “Spriggan” as he enthusiastically calls himself. His office doors are open to anyone who knocks but doesn’t mind waiting until after he’s taken his morning naps first.

Being his own boss is one of the main highlights of this chosen profession as it allows Van a carefree life after having been raised in less-than-ideal circumstances. Living in an orphanage with multiple children to a room being one of his earliest memories as he learned to fend for himself whenever scrounging for scraps or defending his fellow orphans from bullies. Van’s penchant for befriending others stretching across social classes as well, several of whom he’d grow up with even into high school. Even serving on Student Council beside them…but due to circumstances beyond his control, Van opted to abandon whatever chances he had at a higher education by dropping out early. Certain underworld connections enabling him to hone his fighting skills and make more money off his street smarts instead, garnering a reputation for his skilled prowess when it came to handling matters of utmost discretion. Although this wasn’t his first choice when it came to earning extra cash on the side, the world of competitive wrestling seemed to be in a boon period…and he’s been meaning to trick out his ride with some expensive customization anyway.

Fun Facts:
1) Van is a bonafide autophile who routinely and enthusiastically modifies his customize SUV as a cherished hobby of his. A decent portion of his petty cash goes towards financing this expensive endeavor.

2) Van's apartment, modified to be his office, is located above a neighborhood bistro, the owners of whom are also his landlords. The convenience of having an exquisite restaurant available to him 24/7 is one of the main benefits of this location. The grumpy landlord, less so.

3) Van loves sweets of all delectable origins. People have routinely talked him into jobs based solely on the promise of quality pastries alongside his usual fee.

4) If Van was a Pokemon, he would be...
