Vinnie Boombatz

Character Profile

Subject: Vinnie Boombatz

Affiliation: Independent (Hitman for Hire / Moretti Loyalist)

Full Name: Vincent Boombatz
Moniker: “Boombatz”
Other Aliases: “The Block Leveler”, “The Human Shield”
Role: High-Level Muscle / Professional “Soak” / Old World Loyalist
Age in 1987: 45
Vibe: A walking war zone. He represents the “Old World” solution—loud, destructive, and utterly loyal to the Moretti roots.

The Silhouette: A massive, square-shaped bulk that looks like it was carved out of a shipping container. He moves with a heavy, deliberate stomp that announces his arrival blocks away.
The Face: Weathered and granite-hard. He is never seen without a thick, smoldering cigar clamped between his teeth, creating a permanent cloud of smoke around his head.
The Wardrobe: A massive, double-breasted pinstripe suit that looks like it’s struggling to contain his frame. It’s an intentional throwback to the classic era of Valient City.
The Trademark Item: He carries “The Equalizer”—a classic drum-mag Tommy gun—and a scarred baseball bat he has nicknamed “The Message.”
The Vehicle: A black, vintage 1930s-style sedan, retrofitted with a modern high-output engine. It’s a literal tank on wheels that smells like gunpowder and cheap tobacco.

The Origin: Vinnie is a relic of the family’s earliest days in the meatpacking district. While the younger generation moved into skyscrapers and shell companies, Vinnie stayed in the trenches. He earned his name because whenever he’s sent to handle a “dispute,” the neighborhood ends up looking like a bombed-out crater.
The Motivation: Total Destruction. Vinnie doesn’t care about the “Information” or the “Law”—he only cares about the sound of the “drum” talking and the satisfaction of a job leveled.
The Hook: “Vinnie doesn’t just send a message—he levels the whole block.”
The Flaw: Zero Subtlety. Need quiet to avoid Heat? Vinnie is a massive liability. He only has one volume: Deafening.

Main Role: The Meat Shield (Passive). Vinnie provides 100% protection to the Boss of his crew. If an opponent lands on your space and attempts to Whack you, they are forced to target Vinnie first.
Specialist Skill: The Human Shield (Active). Vinnie creates so much chaos, smoke, and debris that even the best shooters miss the mark.
The Result: Once per game, when an opponent initiates a Hit attempt on any member of Vinnie’s crew, the player may activate this skill. The resulting spin value is immediately reduced by 2. * Execution Difficulty (ED: 8): The attacker must spin a 9 or 10 to successfully Whack Vinnie. Anything 1 through 8 results in a fail, leaving Vinnie in play to retaliate.
