Vic Vector knows everything there is to know about action figures, comic books, and video games. He spends his time watching sci-fi marathons, going on internet fantasy programs, and playing arcade games. His favorite video game is Plane vs. Eye. Vic has had several jobs, which include owning and running an arcade, an environment advisor[1], a janitor turned astronaut for Dr. F on Rocket Reef, a minigame host, and a paranormal government investigator, working alongside Rosalyn P. Marshall.
Game roles
Official profiles
Brian Kaiser's website
Vic Vector is better known by his online name, AwesomElf42. Reality was not kind to Vic in his childhood, so now he spends most of his time in a land of fantasy – a land where heroes undertake epic quests, dragons and magic are real, and men in their 30’s can play with action figures all day. Most of Vic’s paycheck is spent on what he calls “collectibles.” He’s fluent in at least three fictional sci-fi languages based. One could say that Vic is enjoying a second childhood, but that would imply that he actually outgrew his first one.[2]
MySims Property Bible
Vic runs the local arcade and like his clientele prefers to spend most of his waking hours partaking in epic online quests and impossible missions of the videogame kind. Some might think Vic spends too much time playing games, but it’s not true. He’s also a shrewd business man. In fact, his action figure collection is worth more than his car!
