-'''Vemish''' is the epitome of the phrase "wrong place, wrong time." His own (though cryptic) retelling of events suggest he was cursed by a [[Twitch Doctor]] who used that exact phrase during the incantation. Others, however, think Vemish just has the worst luck they've seen, and keep their distance whenever he's around (thanks to the dutiful effort of Neighborhood Watch communities, Vemish is rather well-tracked.) - they expect him to "take a turn for the better" eventually, but for now, they're not taking any chances.

-Born in -21 [[EC]], his young life was quite as young lifes are, until his father took him to see his first [[Bindlet Ball]] game ("he's too young! he'll get hurt!" his wife shouted). And get hurt he did. Right after the second Muffin Rotation of the third period (a then-unheard-of record), a roundly-kicked ball (as if a ball could ever be kicked "squarely" - pshaw!) hit Vemish upside the head. The horrified gasps of the crowd caused the ball to shimmer with ne'er before seen twinkles of light, the effects of which are now so sought after that audience participation is often more dangerous than actually being a player.

-Rushed to the local hospital, Vemish was diagnosed with severe tramua to the head and deemed inoperable due to his fragile age of only 5. His mother, cursing at nearly every step of the way, vowed to return her son to "normal" (along with some other not-so-nice <strike>threats</strike> suggestions for her husband). The only one who "cared enough" to help was the local [[Twitch Doctor]]. When Vemish recovered, he spouted chaotically for months about scary masks, scented dolls, and demonic pins. His mother loved him regardless of his madness; his father left the family shortly thereafter.
