Physical Description: Vance is a tall broad shouldered man who stands just over 6' His brownish blonde hair is shaggy and unkempt. His face often goes unshaven for a few days at a time, leaving him, more often than not, with a five o'clock shadow. Vance has light hazel eyes that are sharp, alert and engaging. He almost always has a hint of a smile. If not on his lips then in his eyes.

Distinguishing Marks: Vance has a single unfinished tattoo of a howling wolf dream catcher, located on the inside of his left forearm. If someone looks closely, one of Vance's hazel eyes is slightly more green than the other. He has a small scar on his abdomen where his appendix was removed as a child and his left collar bone has a slight hitch in it. Reconstructive surgery on his left arm and several small scars mar his naturally tan skin. Down the front of his chest is a long faint scar from the heart transplant he received a little over 4 years ago.
Personality: Vance has a great sense of humor. It's not that he tells great jokes, in fact most of his jokes are comically bad, but rather he always seems to find the humor in life. Vance is talkative but knows when to shut up and listen a skill he does well. Although by no means lazy Vance has a relaxed air about him and seems to do things just a touch slower than most would. A quirk that makes him a fairly attentive lover as well.
Back Ground:
Vance was born and raised in Savannah Georgia with his twin brother Jacob. The two brothers were the best of friends growing up and even attended the Savannah School of Art and Design together. Vance for music and Jacob for studio art.
Their closeness made Jacobs tragic Death all the worse. On new years eve of 2013 Vance and Jacob were hit by a drunk driver on their way back from a show Vance's band had headlined. Jacob was pronounced dead shortly after their arrival in the hospital due to massive head injuries. A severe chest wound would have had Vance following close behind his brother into the great unknown but doctors replaced Vance's damaged heart with his brothers healthy one.
The road to recovery was a long one for Vance it was six months before he could walk again and almost a year before he could physically do all of the things he once could. Vance will always miss his brother but he feels like he is living his life for the both of them. So he rarely falls into depression feeling that's a disservice to his brothers memory. The near death experience has brought a calmness to his heart he had never known before. Vance sees each day as a gift and does his best to live it as such.
Life after CIP1
During the first season of Coupled in Paradise Vance met Wren. They left the island lovers, got hitched a few weeks later in Vegas. Wren's writing career took off and Vance became one of the biggest country music stars in America. Both of them traveled often and over those next few months they saw each other less and less. Communication broke down and during one of the few times they had been able to get together a fight ended with Vance "leaving".
That was six months ago. Two months ago Vance received divorce papers in the mail. After multiple refusals to sign them Vance has agreed that he will but only if Wren returns to the show to spend six weeks with him in paradise. If Wren still wants a divorce after that Vance has agreed to sign the papers.
