SELF-IMAGE:He hates the mistakes he’s made in the past, but has come to terms with most of them, and accepts himself for who he is.
GENERAL PERSONALITY: Van has a rather boyish charm to him that seems to only attract either elderly grandmothers, or young children. Ironically enough, he really doesn’t enjoy the company of either. One smells bad, is always trying to pinch his cheeks, and the other had high voices, persistently poked his side when they wanted something, or had too small of hands. Small hands creep out Van. The boyish charm, though, has gotten him out of trouble on more than one occasion. In fact, it has even gotten him out of jail, without bail on one particularly blurry experience.
Van’s always had the kind of attitude that made him argue with teachers. Perhaps it was because they were an authority figure who ‘demanded respect’, perhaps it was just him taking the adolescent stereotype to an extreme, or maybe the teachers were all just wrong. But regardless of how the arguments started or were caused, one thing was for sure. You can always count on Van to have gotten himself kicked out of class for debating an opinion with a teacher.

PARENTS:
-Renee Wilde
-Araris Wilde
SIBLINGS: n.a
CHILDREN: n.a
STATUS: Single
HOMETOWN: Chicago
BRIEF HISTORY:
Araris and Renee, both inheriting in their own right, promised to each other after marrying that they would not simply mooch off of their parents. Instead, they both took high-demanding jobs, reaping the benefits of their large income. After buying a very large house in the suburbs of Chicago, Araris and Renee settled down enough to decide they were ready to have a child.
And so, young Erik was brought into the world. Both his parents loved him dearly, though neither could spare much time to give the young toddler much affection. This left Erik to be brought up by the maids, and family friends of the Burrens. Erik never really resented his parents for this. He respected that they had two very demanding jobs that they had dedicated themselves to. He did, however, find it rather…unfortunate. But still, he never held this against either of them.
He did, to some extent however, exploit it. With their vast amount of money, he was able to get large amounts of it on a whim. One of his earliest passions was Snowboarding. He had been able to convince his father to buy him every item one would possibly need for snowboarding; keep in mind, this was in the middle of summer. When the snow began to fall, and Araris tried to get the young and stubborn Erik out of the house, and onto the slopes, Erik put up a bit of a fight, insisting that he no longer wanted to snowboard. Araris, however, was never one to openly throw away well over eight hundred dollars. After forcing his son into the snow, Erik quickly realized his passion for it, and allowed himself to become engulfed in the sport.
His other early passion, was Music. It started with just going nuts at a CD store, buying dozens of cd’s at a time, and eventually led to Erik buying himself a guitar, as well as private lessons. He began to learn quickly, and has always kept the habit of practicing his guitar often, keeping his skills in check.
Erik competed in many Snowboarding tournaments growing up, and when he turned fourteen, he flew out to Colorado, and joined the Junior Olympic team. It was there that he stayed for the better part of the year, occasionally traveling for competitions, though mainly just practicing for what he had assured himself to be his calling. After turning sixteen, the pressures of keeping up with the competition became too much for Erik. He inevitably succumb to steroid usage, which he was assured by his friends, would never be checked. After all, there were over fifty kids, and they had never heard of anyone being kicked out just for using a bit of the juice.
Evidently, that kid was quite wrong. Erik found himself being tested shortly after out-performing not only all of the competition, but also Erik’s own best times. Finding the enhancing drug in his blood, he was kicked out, and sent back to his hometown near Chicago, and had to suffer the anguish of seeing his parents disappointed looks. Despite the fact that it was mid-semester, Erik was sent away to a prestigious boarding school in New York, and spent the first semester getting accustomed to life there.
Erik was determined to keep his grades up in school, hoping that he can one day step off a plane, and see his parents faces light up with joy at the site of him, as opposed to the shameful glare that they both gave him after his last visit home. After graduating from the distant prep school, Erik returned to find that his parents, even after seeing his amazing grades and spotless high school record, wanted nothing to do with him. They offered him financial support for however long he needed, but asked that he did not come to the house any more. Now more aggravated than anything else, Erik accepted his parent’s inevitable disapproval. He asked them for tuition for college, and after attending a private school and majoring in engineering, he left with a BA, and decided to move to the city, and open up his own club. He’s been there ever since, which doesn’t really count for much. He’s only really been there for a couple years. But immediately after getting there, he made nice with the local mofia, telling them that he would be more than willing to give them a fraction of his pay check for their protection. Because of this, you can almost always see a handful of Black Cobra Gang members hanging around in the club, and almost all of the bouncers have affiliation with the gang.
