Character Profile
Subject: Johnny ‘Sundown’ Affiliation: Elite Operative / Hitman for Hire
I. THE IDENTITY
Full Name: [Unknown] Johnny
- Moniker: “Sundown”
- Other Aliases: “The Sunset Specialist”, “The Long Shadow”
- Role: High-Level Executioner / Long-Range Specialist
- Age in 1987: 58
- Vibe: Old-school underworld class. He is the quiet before the storm—calm, impeccably dressed, and chillingly final

II. PHYSICAL PRESENCE
- The Silhouette: Lean and straight-backed, Johnny carries the poise of a man who has never had to run from a fight because he’s always the one holding the vantage point.
- The Face: Sharp, dignified features often obscured by shadow. His eyes are cold and steady, the eyes of a man who has watched the sun set on a thousand targets.
- The Wardrobe: A sharp three-piece pinstripe suit, a crisp white shirt, and a dark, perfectly knotted tie. He is the best-dressed man in the room, even if he’s the last person you’ll ever see.
- The Trademark Item: A signature fedora tilted forward, casting a deep, intentional shadow over his eyes.
- The Location: Prefers rooftops or high vantage points overlooking Valient City at dusk. He likes to watch the city lights flicker on as his targets’ lights go out.
III. THE BACKSTORY
- The Origin: A veteran of the “Old Guard” who refused to trade his suit for a tracksuit. Johnny earned his name by specializing in “permanent retirements” that occur precisely at the hour between dusk and darkness. He is a specialist for the Morettis when they need a hit to be silent, distant, and undisputed.
- The Motivation: Precision and Silence. Johnny views his work as a craft. He doesn’t raise his voice, he doesn’t brag, and he never misses a beat. To him, a messy hit is a personal failure.
- The Hook: “When Johnny shows up, the sun doesn’t just set—it stays down.”
- The Threat: He makes sure that for his targets, “tomorrow is a luxury that’s officially off the table.”
IV. GAME MECHANICS (The “Game of Death”)
- Main Role: The Long Shadow (Passive). Johnny is a master of timing and positioning. Because he strikes when the light is failing, he is incredibly difficult to spot or pin down before the deed is done.
- Specialist Skill: Long Range Contract (Active). Johnny doesn’t need to be in the room to end the conversation; he just needs a line of sight.
- The Result: Once per game, Johnny may initiate a Hit attempt against any target Crew Member or Specialist currently in play, regardless of where they are on the board. This strike bypasses all standard movement or distance requirements.
- Execution Difficulty (ED: 7): To successfully Whack Johnny ‘Sundown’, the attacker must spin an 8, 9, or 10. If the attacker spins a 1 through 7, Johnny simply melts into the shadows as night falls, remaining in play.
