Vino is an enigmatic assassin with uncertain roots. He's a psychopathic killer with insane death toll. He's called "Vino" for the Latin term of red wine because he leaves a trail of bloody mess behind. He's crazy and extremely dangerous yet the police is utterly helpless before his actions. Vino is infamous for his "creative" ways of killing his targets.
Powers:
Vino has an indescribable power to bring out unlikely events and violate reality. His ability can be the best categorized as probability manipulation but the details and correct workings behind this power are a complete mystery. Generally, Vino possess extreme and unnatural luck. Whatever he does, it usually ends up in success and the circumstances always work in his favor. Furthermore Vino is completely aware of his ability and always abuse it to the fullest.In combat this usually manifests as an ever-present jinx on the enemy. They constantly miss and whether something can be broken it WILL break in the worst moment. Less reliable a method, more likely to backfire on the attackers. A frontal charge can result in the enemy tripping on a banana peel for example. In the end even the most professional fighters and most awesome heroes can end up like an incompetent bunch due to Vino's powers. Perhaps his ability is far from invincible. Repeating the same action may eventually result in a successful attack. Alternatively if something is absolutely sure to hit then Vino cannot sabotage that attack either. Patience and through planing are often the key factors against Vino's ability.
Vino have a few notable "techniques" which he never gave a name but often associate them with a certain catchphrase:
-
"I have many names": Just like that Vino can alter his name with utter ease. In one moment he was Felix Walker while in the next minute he became Giovanni Pedrotti. Strangely, he gets an ID card and matching personal documents to legally prove this to the authorities.
-
"I have countless professions.": Vino is able to learn at monstrous rate which surpasses even photographic memory. He can learn an entire new profession in less than a week. He suddenly bumps into books and people that helps him to get the required skills quickly and for some reason his mind understands everything he learns immediately. Furthermore he's very quick to find an employer and he can work right away. This ability lets Vino to easily infiltrate the target unnoticed or silently blend in the society after each mission. Vino had over 100 kinds of jobs and he switches professions casually in each month for no reason.
-
"You confused me with someone else": Vino is pretty hard to recognize. The witnesses often tell different descriptions to the police and for some reason they forgot the key details. Vino never bothers to hide his face.
-
"I just got in!": Strange ability that lets Vino to pass security cameras and avoid any kind of electronic detection without effort. He's literally invisible to anything but the naked eye. Targeting devices and else just get a bunch of error messages when trying to focus on Vino. Additionally Vino can slip through electronic locks and other such security systems like they weren't even there.
-
"Lights out!": Vino can cause every artificial source of light to accidentally stop working. This way he can operate completely in darkness, even indoors.
-
"You never see me coming!": Weird technique that only works if his opponent lost sight of Vino. While unseen, Vino is able to pass considerable distances and appear somewhere else in a flash. Whether it involves teleportation or not is unknown since no one really saw him in action. This ability has no effect if Vino is at plain sight.
-
"I am a monster!": Under stress and in bad visuals people tend to picture things that really don't exist. Vino abuses the same feature to guise himself as an inhumane monster. This ability works the best at night and when his victims are in panic. Although superstitious people with weak wills may fall to this trick even at daylight.
-
"You cannot escape!": Vino can chase down people and prevent them from escape. His fleeing victims suddenly find themselves extremely clumsy and make wrong turns and decisions constantly. More complex the route of escape, the less chance they have to actually pull it off. That gives Vino plenty of time to catch up and finish off his trapped victims.
-
"I didn't die": Mysterious ability that defiles reason. Vino could survive certain attacks that he really shouldn't. This trick is similar to his "never see me coming" as it requires Vino to be obstructed from view. This way he can survive falling down from extreme heights or a building crumbling on him. Of course grenades and bombs are no exception. The explosion similarly obscures him from view and gives him a chance to use "I didn't die" in the last minute. General rule: if you hadn't seen Vino to die, he most probably didn't.
-
"I have a gun": Pretty self-explanatory. Vino pulls out a gun from his pocket or any hidden place. The real catch is that he wasn't supposed to carry any weapons, just his opponent doesn't know this. The gun or any other weapon preferably is a simple or easy to acquire type and of course it also needs to be small enough to be concealed. For example his pockets can't hold an entire rocket launcher, right?
-
"It was just a random guess": Vino is sometimes strangely aware of things. He knows your plan , manage to understand your thoughts or just flat out predict your next course of action. Of course this ability has little relation to intellect, more like insane luck. If Vino has the faintest chance to guess something, those are 100% correct. All he needs just to put his mind to the matter. His random guesses are extremely potent and often border precognition. Although Vino normally doesn't bother to use this ability.
