Vin, Prinz von Dorch is the current heir to the throne of the Duke of Dorch, a student of Movie-Directing at the University of Zieselhaven and an aspiring movie-critic.
Vin is in a relationship with Mina, Burggräfin von Fuchsbau.
Biography
Vin was born as the older of two children in 1995 in Dorch, as child of Malte von Dorch and Isa von Dorch, the Herzog and the Herzogin of Dorch.
In 2000, his little sister Heda, Prinzessin von Dorch was born.
Vin got his first computer, an old machine barely capable of running its operating system, in 2003. He still writes small programs for it from time to time, but mostly, he got himself a new computer every three years since 2008. For him, computers are mostly work tools, including as a cutting room.
His interest for movies began in 2011, when he was allowed to watch the shooting of scenes for the movie Lichtfest, which were shot in Kafhaff near Dorch. Not only did he meet Aaltje Schreyg there (and learned, what crushing on someone means), he also began his first dabblings into moviemaking, certain, that this was something, which he wanted to pursue.
He graduated in 2014 and applied for studies in Movie-Directing at the University of Zieselhaven, which took him. He made his Bachelor's degree in 2018, following it up by Master Studies, in particular under Professor Gerulf Bukker. His mentor and him planned to have him graduate in 2021, but COVID delayed that to 2022.
Professor Bukker also introduced him to his girlfriend, Mina, Burggräfin von Fuchsbau, the two getting into their relationship in 2019.
He graduated, became a Movie-Critic and committed himself to his duties. His Father, Malte von Dorch, positioned him in the Cultural Funding Committee to start involving him into the Government Drag. Vin worked his way up.
Vin also attended the 2023 Wedding of Princess Aurelia bint-Damir and Atif Qalb, both as his Father's emissary and due to his own friendship with Aurelia and Atif. He took Mina, Burggräfin von Fuchsbau along and resolved to propose to her. After coordinating with his Father, he did so in the Winter of 2023, Mina agreeing instantly. Six months after marrying in Spring 2024, the couple had their first child, Raik, Prinz von Dorch.
Character
Vin is, as his sister described him, adorkable. He can not talk to women, who he finds pretty or stunning. While he likes playing video games, especially with his sister, he is bad at it - although he does have a lot of expertise with computers in and of themselves, being one of the go-to guys for computer problems at his university.
Vin is a fan of cars, made his license in 2016. True to form, he owns a small HMW-city car, nothing too fancy, but prefers public transport or even walking for his commute to university and back (it depends on the weather). While he had traces of a speed demon as a young man, he mellowed out considerably (especially after two speeding tickets and a good scolding by his father.
While Vin can dance, he has little talent for it - and less interested in developing that skill past what is necessary for his duties as a Prince.
Personal Relations
Heda, Prinzessin von Dorch
Vin loves his "Little Sis" dearly and is fiercely protective of her, even if she drives him nuts at times.
Professor Gerulf Bukker
Bukker is a sort-of mentor for the young Prince, especially in the art of movie-making,
Aaltje Schreyg
Vin, as a lad of 16, crushed on Aaltje after he saw her in the shooting for Lichtfest in 2011. She, in part (at the time 14) returned his feelings and for a short time in 2012, the two were a couple, but they quickly came to the realization, that they liked each other, but that they didn't like each other.
They remained friends ever since and when Aaltje began charity work after she shot Bahnhofsmädchen, Vin was onboard almost immediately.
Lien, Prinzessin von Byrkland
Vin and Lien are friends, little more. They share a bit of a passion for movies, although Lien's is a lot less developed.
Bodo, Prinz von Bucktend
There are not many men, who can say, that Vin hates them with a burning passion - one of them is Bodo, Prinz von Bucktend. The reason is rather simple: He broke his little sister's heart.
