Vincent Afton, better known as just Vinny, is a major character in BlueyCapsules. He is the twin brother of William Afton and the husband of Scott Afton. He lives in a camper van in a Walmart parking lot, which is the home base of his... eclectic lifestyle. Though William absolutely despises him, they seem to share some sort of telepathic connection, and as such, he is the only person who knows about William's crimes.
After evidence was planted by William, Vincent was arrested for the murders of the Missing Children Incident -- however, he was later released, as there was not enough evidence to convict him. In police detainment, his brother William injected him with Remnant as his first test subject.
Personality
Vincent is easygoing to a fault, with a completely lackadaisical outlook on life. His main goals are to chill, be in love, and do his own thing. He wants to befriend all he meets, but won't be too effected if you aren't interested. The only real way to incite anger in him would be messing with his husband, which you may not survive. He also cares deeply for his brother, niece, and nephew(s), and believes family is important over all. Because of this, he tries to be the best uncle and brother possible in his own unique way. Unfortunately, this includes being fatally apologetic of William's self-centered and manipulative personality. He believes his brother is only seriously misguided, even with his full knowledge of the Missing Children Incident. His blindly trusting nature is largely the result of his conniving brother being his only "friend" growing up, altering the development of his morals and relationships into adulthood.
History
Vincent was raised alongside William in Great Britain after they mysteriously appeared at the doorstep of an orphanage in Liverpool run by a group of nuns. His first act of resistance against the system was his conscious decision not to be British, resulting in his New York City accent and general "fuhgeddaboudit" attitude. According to William, he was a natural troublemaker, which led to the first seeds of hatred as Vincent (supposedly) routinely kept them from being adopted due to the orphanage's policy of adopting out siblings together. It would seem that in actuality, many prospective parents saw his playful and mischievous attitude as a delight, but were put off later as the seemingly angelic William showed more of his true personality.
During high school he met Scott, who was visiting the UK on a school trip. They instantly bonded over their exclusion from a goth party due to being labelled "preps" when they were actually pioneers of scene culture. When Scott returned to the U.S, Vincent promised to stay in touch and meet with him again someday. So, when he and his brother aged out of the orphanage, he followed William to the US, much to his chagrin. While William attended Pen Island University, Vincent set out to reconnect with Scott. The two of them followed William once again after he graduated college to Hurricane, Utah, where they parked their camper-van home for good in the Hurricane Wal-Mart parking lot. They were married in 1973, in a history-making wedding that William failed to attend.
He lazed around for the greater part of a decade, although he was a dedicated homemaker while Scott was the star employee at a call center. He spent whatever time he could with his niece and nephews, teaching them values of equality and anarchy in equal parts. In 1983 he became employed at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria by virtue of his brother making a deal with Boss Boseman in order to get as much sway in the business as possible. Unfortunately, after just over a month he was fired for reasons he can't quite remember (but he's sure they weren't that serious, and maintains that him and Boseman are still great pals). He almost immediately picked up a job next door at Pizza Hut working for Gino Valentino, whose managerial style was much more up his alley (no pun intended).
After the Missing Children Incident, Vincent got the short end of the stick on his brotherly relationship yet again when William framed him by planting evidence. He spent a few nights at the Hurricane Police Station, where William injected him with Remnant as his first test subject, before being released for insufficient evidence. On his way home, however, he was shot through the neck by a vengeful Gino assuming him to be his son’s killer. The Remnant successfully activated, saving Vinny’s life. After an emotional talk with Scott, he resolved to take life a bit more seriously for both of their sakes.
