Vil’s Family (pt1)

We do not know the city where Vil was born. He explains, “as my work has had me trotting the globe from an early age, there isn’t anywhere in particular I call home.”

Vil says that the Fairest City (EN: Maquillaville) is where he would pick as a hometown as he has visited often both as an actor and as a model, and he still visits as an NRC student for the shopping.

Vil’s father is Eric Venue, who is first mentioned by name in Vil’s halloween vignette where Ortho is able to identify him based on one of his most famous roles as “a monster hero who fights with his claws.”

Vil explains that “Eric Venue” (or possibly just “Venue”?) is his father’s stage name.

Vil says that they originally did not publicize their relationship, but he has since relaxed his stance on the issue as he has done enough in his career to prove that he is a performer in his own right rather than just Eric’s son (Eric is both an actor and movie producer).

Eric arranges for a studio tour and makes a reservation at a famous restaurant for Vil and other NRC students, saying that he “just wanted to meet some of (his) son’s friends,” and he teases Vil for being embarrassed, saying that he will have to arrange for more family time if it makes him so happy.

Eric says that he had been worried about Vil’s ability to adapt to life in a dorm because it was often just Vil alone and their home with their housekeeper when he was younger.

Azul asks if they didn’t live together and Vil explains they were both so busy that they just didn’t overlap very often, saying, “it made me very appreciative of the quality time we did get.”

Eric explains that rather going places together they “mostly just took it easy and stayed home” when their schedules did overlap, as they would attract so much attention by going out in public that it was hard to relax.

Vil says, “We’d often pass the time by making our own beauty products and supplements. Dad can’t use magic, but he knows a lot about beauty products, so it was a lot of fun creating things together.”
