The story of a not real boy.
Personality:
The first thing you need to know when dealing with Van is that he's pure darkness. He was created when Master Xehanort pulled all of the darkness out of a boy named Ventus and created another being in the process. There is no light within him whatsoever and he doesn't care about others outside of his other half. (Though his form of caring has it's own definition.) Even the Unversed, creatures made from the darkness that consume hearts, come from Vanitas himself. They are what he calls "fledgling emotions under my control" and sends them out to destroy worlds and take them over so they can be warped by darkness. Everything his other half is to the light--goodness, hope, love, joy--he is to the darkness--destruction, pain, suffering, and hate being some of the key components that one would need to make their very own Vanitas at home!
Because of what he is, Vanitas really only has the darkest emotions possible, at least that's what he'd tell you. It's not hard to see, right away, just how twisted he is, getting kick out of screwing with others and causing them physical harm. A part of him also relishes getting hurt himself, thriving on the pain and using it to drive his own rage and hatred further. Honestly, pain is probably one of his favorite things ever because it's what he's always know--it's always been a constant--since the day he was "born". It fascinates him to watch how others react to it and he gets excited over the prospect of causing pain to others. There was only so much he was able to do while he still existed and so, like a small child that's still learning the ways of the world, there's a lot he wants to explore and attempt on his own just because he can.
Vanitas has a little bit of an anger problem as well. See, he really doesn't like when things don't go his way and will get rather violent over it. He'll snap at the drop of a hat and go from taunting someone to beating them to a bloody pulp without batting an eye. Something doesn't go as planned? He flips out and attempts to tear someone to shreds. Someone hurts Ventus that isn't him? He'll smother them with darkness and watch them scream in agony as their heart is ripped from their chest. He doesn't attempt to control his anger, really doesn't know how if we're going to be honest, and seems to just enjoy letting it all out. Because darkness and the emotions associated with it are what make Vanitas who he is, he's even more difficult to deal with during his bouts of rage and hate so it's best to keep away from him or have a good way of subduing him if need be.
Vanitas is very good at playing the game that is manipulation. He has a way with words and knows exactly how to hit people with them to get them going on a course that fuels what he's trying to accomplish. He doesn't have any issue with lying through his teeth if it means he's going to get his way and is very good at making people question what they believe to be true. (Here's looking at you, Aqua.)
As mentioned above his relationship with Ventus is a strange one and it could be argued that Vanitas actually cares about the other young man. That care is actually a twisted sort of fascination and obsession with his other half, Vanitas wanting nothing more than to re-merge with Ventus now that they are both strong enough so that they can form the X-Blade and allow darkness to consume everything. He doesn't like when others hurt Ventus because that's pain that he should be inflicting on the other and it comes off as somewhat protective the way he makes sure the other doesn't get too harmed over the course of his journey. In reality Vanitas is simply making sure that the other is properly herded to where he needs to go in order for their purpose to be fulfilled in the end. If there's anything else to these emotions, Vanitas doesn't realize it; doesn't understand them. He just knows that his end goal is to become one with Ventus again and he's willing to do whatever necessary to accomplish that.
Ultimately Vanitas has his own agenda. He plays the role of a good little puppet very well, using Xehanort's plans to fuel his own goals and help him get where he needs to be. He doesn't really care about what the old man wants and would much rather worry about his own goal--to become one with Ventus again. As he is right now, Vanitas is one half of a whole and it shows with how one track he is with his emotions. He's well aware that dark cannot exist without the light and is more than willing to give up his own sense of self if it means becoming a whole person once again. (As shown in game when he does merge with Ventus, Vanitas is the dominant personality so he wouldn't really be losing everything; just taking on some traits that his other half is bringing to the table.)

RP Sample:
Golden eyes narrowed in disgust as, from his perch on the top of a building in the middle of Radiant Garden, he watched two young boys playing with Ventus. Despite everything that was going on his other half seemed to be having a good time, able to put aside his worries and fears in favor of being friendly with the other two.
It was disgusting. A waste of time. A complete waste of time.
Vanitas scoffed lightly and let himself flop backwards, arms tucked behind his head as he stared up at the sky.
"Idiot," he muttered and a faint sound from a few feet away had him turning his head to stare at the creature responsible. One of his Floods was hovering near by looking torn between coming closer and fleeing. All of his creatures knew what his temper was like and yet here this little thing was wanting to be near him.
Moving one of his arms and holding his hand out, Vanitas watched blankly as the Flood shifted closer, twitching as it went, pausing with each step before it finally reached the young man's outstretched hand. Just before it could touch it Vanitas struck, grabbing the little thing by the neck and lifting it up, holding it over his head. He watched as the flood squirmed and struggled and it got a grin out of the young man, a twisted delight on his face at the other's plight.
"You're useless, you know that?" he drawled before he promptly tossed the creature away and over the side of the building. A heavy sigh escaped Vanitas as he sat himself up again, slowly climbing to his feet just in time to see Ventus laughing about something the red head had said. His amusement at the pain he'd caused his Flood disappeared as he frowned, eyes narrowing again. "...You're useless, too." The words were clipped; sharp as he practically spat them out, swiftly turning away to move across the rooftops again.
Soon. Soon he wouldn't have to waste time watching Ventus like this.
