PERSONALITY .
"So.. What Am I Like? I'd just tell you to get to know me alot better and find out for yourself but.. I'll try. So where should I start? I guess I'm a really Expressive Guy. I'm Not afraid to speak what's on my mind, Which is Good, But also bad since sometimes I get too Expressive and end up saying something bad though that doesn't worry me too much. I Guess I'm Also Outgoing. ..I'm not the shy type. Meeting new people and being outgoing is sort of nice. people get to know you more and you get to know more about others as well. But Just Because I'm outgoing and open minded doesn't mean I'm talkative. I know when to shut up and listen sometimes though I can't stand people giving me lectures about life. It pisses the bloody hell out of me."

"People say I'm Fun to be around with, especially My bandmates. I Especially Like my bandmates. They're Fun to be with. I also try to find a way to always kill boredom. i don't like Boredom. No one does. Sometimes i like to joke around and pull a few little pranks here and there. Life is Short, So might as well just enjoy it while it last right? Though aside from those things, I'll most likely do anything to keep away boredom. Video Games, Music, Really, Anything. Of course, Just because I seem like a fun person, doesn't mean I can't be serious. I take the Band seriously, and most of the decisions in my life."

"And Just because I seem like a Fun person, Doesn't mean I don't have respect for others. I have tons of respect to go around. ..Just have to earn it is all. I Grew up well disciplined so I'm not really that bad of a guy. But there's also one other thing you need to know about me. The way I act to others depends on how they act towards me. It Back fires if you know what I mean. If your nice to me, I'm Nice to you. If you hate me, I'll hate you too. That's how I am, though not all the time. I normally look at how others are before judging them. And Like most of the other men out there, I adore women. I Wouldn't say I'm the romantic type, but I'm not Retarded either. Though I also can't Garantee I'm the same when I'm Drunk. I've had a past experience."

"..So, i guess that's all I can say about myself. Just Get to know me more and find out for yourself since that's the best way to know who I am."

HISTORY .
So why don't we begin with how Vince's Parents met? Well, Robert Bowen was a captain in the US Army who was transferred to the UK. One Day, Rob's Best Friend was Getting Married To Martha's Sister. That's where Robert and Martha First Met. After two years, They decided to Get married too. They both Loved each other so much that after a year, They had their first Child, Vincent Grant Bowen, Who was born on September fourteenth, 5:56 AM In Blackpool England. He grew up like every other normal Kid did. He went to school and did chores. The Only difference was that he grew up more well diciplined than any other kid did. Obviously, Since his Dad was a part of the Army. when Vincent was three years old, He and his Parents moved to the US since his Dad got transferred back. They Lived there and their second and last child was born, Vince's Little Sister, Angela. when Vince was ten, His and his Family's Life changed completely. Robert was sent to Somalia due to the terrorist encounter going on there and died, Which changed the Life of Vince and his Family.

after the death of his father, Vince developed a love for music. It was when he was eleven years old that he got his hands on his first guitar. The way it looked and felt in his hands made him fall in love with it and knew that it was meant for him. But, He promised to himself to follow the footsteps of his father and join the Army when he grew older. And So he did, He continued his Education in the States until he graduated High School. After that, He went back to the UK to join the British Army but ended up surrendering his position as second luietenant. He knew that being in the military wasn't for him. That Music was what he was destined for. After resigning in the Army, Vince went to London and joined a band called The Resurrection, As the Rythm Guitarist. The band was successful. going on a tour and making a debut album. All went well for Vince and the Band, that is, until things were changing. Vince was convicted with a crime for possession of Marijuana. The Problem there was, Vince had nothing to do with it. The Marijuana was not his, It belonged to his other bandmate. Vince was sent to prison for two and a half years. After that, he decided to join his band again only to find that the Lead Guitarist (And the guy who said that the Marijuana Belonged to Vince when really, It belonged to him.) Was kicked out of the Band after the others found out he owned the drugs. Vince later on took the place of their former bamndmate and he became the Band's new lead guitarist. They were even better than before. And became more famous.

Everything went well. That is, Until another Issue popped up. This time, breaking up the band for good. One night, The band went out to a club and have a good time after one of their concerts. They had a good time and they all got drunk. The bad thing was Vince and the Lead Singer of their Band, Had a one night stand and endded with Vince accidentally Impregnating their Lead Singer. When He found out about this, Vince decided to just leave the band and head back the the US, resulting in the band to permanently Breaking up for good. He stayed in Seattle and decided to get back into the Industry of Music. That was when he found Revved and Ready. He joined them and not only did he become close with his Bandmates, (Johnson, Garrett, and Ramone.) But became very successful and Popular. After six years, going on a tour, and recording three albums, Vince knew that this was where he was meant to be. That Revved and Ready was where he truly belonged. Still Going Strong!!
