Biography[edit]
Vechs previously lived in South Carolina but currently lives in New Zealand.[7] His handle comes from at least 2000,[8] during his Counter-Strike days when he went by the nickname "Vex"[9] which means "to annoy".[10] However various websites required usernames to be four or more characters, and so it became Vechs.[9] Unfortunately, the name "Vechs" was taken on YouTube and in Minecraft, so he registered "Vechz" as his YouTube username and "Vechs1" as his in-game name.[11] He later turned this account into a cameraman and used "Vechs_" as his active account.[12] Vechs began using the Minecraft account "Vechs" as his main account in February 2015.[13]
In RPG and MMO games, such as League of Legends, Mount & Blade: Warband and MechWarrior Online, he uses the name "Vechs Davion".[14]
Vechs has a BA in Media Arts.[15] He currently does YouTube for a living.[16]
Pets[edit]
Vechs rescued a cat that was abandoned in a grocery store parking lot in May 2013,[17] he named the cat Basil.[18] He owns two other cats, but is allergic to their fur.[19] One of them is called Sage.[20]
Let's Play[edit]
Vechs publicly revealed his appearance for the first time in a video uploaded on 5 June 2016. The 30 minute video features various artwork used by Vechs on his channel, with an image of him appearing for a short moment.[21] MindcrackLP.com was updated with a similar image of Vechs the same day.

Mindcrack[edit]
On 17 May 2013, Vechs announced via Twitter that he would be joining Mindcrack,[23] which was confirmed by Guude the same day.[24] On 25 July 2013, Vechs posted a screenshot of the Mindcrack Server spawn to his Twitter.[25] Originally he was interested in playing on the FTB server because he dislikes vanilla Minecraft being too grindy,[26] but later left signs at spawn describing how FTB was rather dead and that he would rather hop on the vanilla server.[27]

Minecraft skin[edit]
