random vaas headcannons & backstory .
vaas and citra are half siblings / his mother killed his father shortly after he was conceived , and never really spoke about him . vaas found out about his father by finding what few belongings of his remained , naught but the salvaged parts of a tourist’s life gone wrong .
vaas’ mother is where citra earned her idea of creating the perfect warrior - when citra was born a girl , not long after she made a “warrior” out of vaas’ father and had him , it was through vaas’ mother’s training and conditioning vaas was slowly growing into said “perfect” warrior .
that was , until his mother wanted him to kill citra as a part of a final test ( this is mirrored in when citra asks jason to kill liza ) , and as vaas had quoted - my first kill was for her - instead of striking his knife into citra , he killed their mother .
not long after citra inherited the rakyat , and with vaas at her side , things only grew worse . citra grew into the same demands and ideology as their mother , and on one hand while the things she asked of vaas grew more and more daunting , vaas’ addiction to drugs grew , driving a wedge between them as the privateers and pirates slowly invaded .
and when the time came that citra saw a coming war and wanted to create the perfect warrior - one where her so called brother had failed ? vaas refused her , and the blade she had planned on driving into his heart was aimed for his skull , instead leaving him with a scar he still has to this day .
after wrestling away from citra and away from the rakyat , vaas joined the pirates , and slowly , but surely , earned his given title as their leader from hoyt , becoming the pirate king .
vaas has had multiple exotic / native pets to the rook islands throughout his time there , including a tiger , jaguar , snake , ect . vaas also has an affinity for most animals , and enjoys their company greatly , believing respect given is respect in kind ; this also goes for nature .
vaas’ dependency with drugs was at an all time high before jason’s attempt on his life , but after his recovery he’s been surprisingly tame about it , and focuses more on moderate drinking , light drug use , and clings to a love of smoking .
vaas is rakyat ( melayu ) / hispanic , but when asked will cling more so to his hispanic heritage .
vaas has a stretching tatau upon his back that starts on his lower back up to blossoming on his shoulder - blades and ending on his nape . it’s covered in burns , scars , and other covering tattoos in an attempt at it’s disfigurement .
vaas’ most identifiable scars include the one running parallel to his mohawk , a set of tiger claws along his hips / sides , and if post - game , a deep gouge of flesh over his heart .
vaas speaks spanish , english , bahasa melayu , and russian , but also knows bits and pieces to many others / is always willing to learn more .
vaas loves movies , especially animated ones . he refers to them often .
vaas is a leader , but a drifter without anything to tie him down . on the islands he bounces around from place to place , and outside of such has difficulty ever setting down any roots .
vaas likes to twist other’s perceptions of things to suit his needs ; say , from a minor thing of saying his nickname is , jokingly , danger , since he doesn’t have one - to doing his damnest to create a false sense of security in someone only with the intention to mentally manipulate them to the point of no return . the need to do this could be born out of simple desire or boredom , too .
vaas keeps everything he has on him ; it’s the joy of many pockets and pouches , from a knife in the sheathe of his boots ; to a well - used notepad and carved pencil in pocket ; on his hip hangs a canteen ; a flask in pouch ; cash in a breast pocket ; more likely than not , a gun under his waistband . vaas is a one - man walking army , mind you .
on the note of said notepad , vaas both likes to sketch and needs a place to write down those quick , impulsive ideas of his before he looses them .
due to his injury sustained from jason’s knife , vaas is no longer as invincible as he once was . but like hell he’ll let it show , and while he may be this shy of weaker , the former king is in no way pathetic .
