Dislikes: The boring parts of school, rude people, forgetting things, his last name, British accents, people taking advantage of his forgetfulness

-Just from looking at him, you probably won’t be able to tell he’s a ghost since he’s not translucent or gives off any odd ghostly glow. He can also touch things as if he were human.

Short bio
Vinnie is a very forgetful teenager who has a part time job as a semi-popular DJ at parties during the weekend. He’s been stuck in the 11th grade for a century due to failing his classes every year by him forgetting to do assignments and bombing tests.
He happens to be a ghost who seems very alive, loves food and his boyfriend (not necessarily in that order), and is very outgoing and friendly. He’s also fond of dogs, snails, and squirrels. Despite his initial “fuckboy” look, once you get to know him, you’d find out he’s actually a huge sweetheart, innocent and oblivious, and a dork. And a big crybaby.
He constantly tries to be kind to people and make friends a lot, but he is very gullible and too trusting, he’s not the brightest bulb, and he tends to forget things frequently even if they just happened. He’s also completely oblivious to sarcasm.
Growing up in the early 1900’s, he sometimes uses very dorky and outdated slang in a weird mix of that combined with modern slang. He still thinks it’s the year 1910 too, even though that’s not even the year he died- He’s very modern, but he just thinks all this stuff is happening in 1910 somehow.
He’s oblivious to the fact that he’s a ghost, and it would be wise not to mention it to him unless you deliberately want to see Vinnie completely confused and horrified for about five whole seconds.

Full bio
He was born into a rich family in England in the year 1894. He was raised knowing a lot of fancy stuff, some of which were drilled into him because of his forgetfulness, like knowing which forks and spoons to use in a formal meal. He also had a strict violin teacher, who taught him how to play until he actually managed to learn how to play it, but he thought it wasn’t very fun having to learn it.
He was around 17 when he died, trying to save his parents from an oncoming carriage, but he tripped and hit his head on the cobblestones which is why he has an even more awful memory than he had when he was alive. Vinnie got up out of his body after he died and due to hitting his head, forgot that he and his family were pretty much dead.
Realizing that he and his other dead cousins could all still eat, sleep, and touch objects like a normal person, the other three figured nothing had really changed anyway, so they just went along with it as if they were still alive, while Vinnie was still oblivious to the fact that he was dead.
Of course, they hadn’t aged since they died, but Vinnie did not actually notice this. They lived through the decades, following up on different points in time such as the roaring 20’s, both of the World Wars, the disco era in the 80’s, all the LGBT movements, all the way to modern times.
As time went on, the other three graduated from their education, going to college and getting jobs, but Vinnie somehow managed to stay behind in the same grade for the past century due to his incredibly bad memory, failing classes, and forgetting to come to his finals even though they were on the same day for years. He somehow thought it was still the 1910’s, too.
Today, Vinnie has adopted a ‘skater’ look as well as a more American accent and lingo, such as ‘dude’ and ‘bro’, though it is very rare when he slips back into his ‘posh English’ accent. He only recently dyed his hair in the 2000’s, formerly having black hair. He also has a boyfriend whose name is Feli Vargas (jr).
Once technology improved enough, he began making electronic music and remixes, taking a liking to electropop and dubstep. Though, he still does appreciate the music he grew up with. Which is all of the music from the past century and then some. He is also very fond of jazz and classical music.
He is impulsive and doesn’t really think before he acts, but is very outgoing and friendly. He is one of the ‘popular’ kids in his school, despite being held back for such an impossibly long time. He is pretty good friends with all of his teachers, since the entire staff knows who he is, and he’s the only kid allowed in the Teacher’s Lounge, which was one of the reasons he got popular in the first place. He recently began to work as a semi-popular DJ at parties sometimes, outside of school.
He has a terrible memory, though is able to remember useless trivia at the most random times. He constantly forgets that he isn’t alive anymore. He is very unobservant, and easily distracted. Although he looks like a ‘douche’, he is incredibly nice, in a stupid kind of way. He is also very polite from the way he was brought up during childhood, despite his colloquial way of speaking nowadays. He still sometimes slips into older slang, but it’s only very rarely. He also prefers not to swear, and if he does they’re mostly very minor like ‘heck’ or ‘crap,’ it’s never any of the more explicit swears.
He is also very gullible, friendly, childlike, and trusting. But he is aware of how bad his memory is and is constantly, on the inside, nervous about remembering things (or his lack of remembering). He developed slight anxiety from it, but is getting a little better with the help of his boyfriend. He doesn’t use his ghost abilities because he is unaware he is a ghost. Unless he is very embarrassed or just wants to get out of a situation, then he’ll instinctively turn invisible to try and “disappear”.
