Biography
AN INDECISIVE BACHELOR SWEPT AWAY BY THE TWO WOMEN IN HIS LIFE
Vincent is a lifelong bachelor trying to escape the pressures of adult life: his job, his love life, the prospect of marriage. His only goal seems to be drifting aimlessly through life. While his girlfriend Katherine wants him to settle down and marry her, he still wants the freedom of the single life. After meeting the enigmatic beauty, Catherine, his life is dragged into a waking and sleeping nightmare.

Arcade
Opening:
Vincent's story opens in the Stray Sheep bar, where he confronts Boss about the nightmares that he's been having, as well as the chance to speak to Catherine/Katherine again. The Boss reluctantly agrees to stop the nightmares and arrange a meeting with one of the Catherines if Vincent can overcome yet another trial: There are many other people from different realms coming together due to a challenge issued by a so-called god (Polygon Man). The Boss tells Vincent that he'll hold up his end of the bargain if Vincent can defeat all of the others and claim victory. Vincent agrees and leaves the bar, ready to face whatever challenges are thrown to him.
Rival:
Name: Zeke Dunbar
Reason: TBA
Connection: Both are regular guys who are faced with out-of-the-ordinary events and live in a fantasy world, if you will. In Zeke's case, he is one of the few allies of Cole MacGrath who has no powers, yet still proves to be an excellent ally, helping fix the RFI after it gets damaged. He also narrates both the story of Pyre Night and his adventures in Battle Royale, which turn out to be fantasies. In Vincent's case, he is a regular guy who has nightmares influenced by a demon. He must climb to escape being taken by the monsters of his nightmares, which could result in his death, but are still dreams, nontheless. Both also have trouble with women. Vincent must choose between marrying his girlfriend or starting a relationship with a succubus with which he's having an affair, and Zeke usually has bad luck with the ladies. Both also show interest in a supernatural woman: the succubus Catherine, in Vincent's case, and the vampire Cat, who may or may not have been a drunken hallucination, in Zeke's case.
Ending:
Vincent's story ends with him waking up in bed, believing the entire ordeal to have been just one last nightmare. He returns to the bar to tell Boss of his victory over the nightmare. The Boss reluctantly congratulates him and offers to hold up his end of the bargain. However, Vincent decides that he'll postpone speaking to the Catherines, and instead simply orders another round as Polygon Man's power begins to radiate from within him.
