Name: Vincent Rubio
Species: Velociraptor
Age: 30s
Occupation: Private eye
Physical Appearance: Vincent is a darker green velociraptor. The upper portion of his tail is red with black stripes underneath. He has golden eyes and particularly sharp forearm claws. His human disguise resembles a cross between Sam Rockwell and Ed Norton.
Personality: Vincent is a smart-alec and a cynic. He has an excellent sense of smell, and a good head for mysteries. Unfortunately, most cases he gets assigned are the mundane chasing down the cheating husband, or getting juicy photos of a celebrity for next week's tabloid. He's adopted a hard-boiled view on life, and despite currently serving on the South California Council, has no ambition, and tends to be very lazy when not working. He's a decent combatant in hand-to-hand fighting however, though sometimes overestimates his abilities.
Brief Bio: (OK this isn't brief, and by all means, DON'T be this long if you don't want to.
) Vincent Rubio was a prankster and fun-loving goof-off growing up. As an adult, he works mostly small-time cases that bore him and hardly pay the bills. About a year ago, that all changed. He and his partner were asked to look into a series of disappearing dinos that had Los Angeles puzzled. While investigating the family of one missing dino in particular, Vincent discovered that a cult may have been behind it. While investigating the cult, Vincent was immediately attracted to its spokesperson, a female velociraptor named Circe. She invited him to join them on an island they owned near Hawaii, and to further his investigation, Vincent agreed. The island was privately owned, and disguises were forbidden on its shores. The cult seemed to be aimed at returning dinosaurs to their more feral nature, which Vincent considered devolution and not "progress" as it was claimed. Despite his best attempts at not becoming involved with Circe, Vincent caved and spent an intimate night with her, getting deeper than he planned, as he initially only intended to extract information from her. He did at least learn she had been taken in at a young age by someone called Raal, the real leader of the cult. Vincent's further investigations revealed a stockpile of weapons on the island that Raal planned to unleash upon the humans in hopes of sparking a war between dinos and humans which would wipe the humans out. Evading Raal's pursuit forces and narrowly escaping the island, Vincent and his partner, Ernie, made it back to Hawaii and thence to LA. Vincent intended to confront Raal and bring him before the South California Council. He struggled with his feelings over Circe, wondering if she were perhaps being used as a dupe by Raal without realizing what her cult stood for.
After almost getting killed in the La Brea Tar Pits by Raal (whom Vincent didn't recognize at the time), Vincent decided to confront Raal at a large gathering the cult was having in LA. Confronting Circe about her involvement with the cult and attempting to place her under arrest, Vincent was instead attacked by Raal himself, who was revealed to be a particularly brutal diplodocus. Vincent had arranged for some backup beforehand though, and soon, the entire party was one big brawl. Vincent fought Raal on top of a giant dinosaur skeleton, where defeat meant plummeting into a giant fire pit below. Raal managed to overcome Vincent, and almost knocked him off the skeleton entirely. Circe came to his aid however as he was dangling from the skeleton (she was in fact Raal's dupe, and was angry over his betrayal of the ideals he used to preach), knocking Raal over the edge, though Raal grabbed hold of her and pulled her down as well. She caught hold of Vincent's foot claw, and Vincent struggled to hold on and pull her up. Raal began climbing up her body, and aimed a finishing blow at Vincent's neck. With no choice remaining, Circe gave one last look into Vincent's eyes, revealing some memories she'd wiped from his mind previously. She had been with him since his arrival in Hawaii, in disguise without him even realizing it. She'd had just as strong feelings for him as he did for her, and with these memories suddenly unlocked, Vincent could only watch in horror as Circe released her grip, taking both herself and Raal down into the fiery pits below, sacrificing herself to save Vincent. Vincent's buddies overcame the Progressives as they were called, and Raal's forces were defeated.
This incident deeply traumatized Vincent, and he sank into an herb addiction to dull his pain, trying to move on from the past but not being able to fully do so, as he's still haunted by his memories. He's gone back to his profession, though has become much more hardened these days. In gratitude for stopping the Progressives, the South California Council appointed him into their ranks, though he despises this job on a personal rather than professional level. Fortunately, he only has to meet with them on the first Tuesday of every month, and can devote the rest of his time to his PI job.
