Vinnie!

Vinnie is the main protagonist of the Sift Heads game series. He is a legendary bounty hunter and veteran assassin, the primary target of various criminals and mafia organizations. He first appears in Sift Heads as the main protagonist, a playable character in Sift Renegade 3, the unseen main antagonist in Sift Renegade 3: Defiance, and as a main character in Sift Heads World and Sift Heads Cartels. He reappears in Sift Heads Reborn, a reimagining of Sift Heads World as one of the three main playable characters.

Being the leader of a group of assassins and named the best bounty hunter of all America, Vinnie can boast about being the toughest around! No one has ever gotten past him. And being able to manipulate any gun with ease it's no surprise he has been accused of some of the worst carnage.

APPEARANCE/PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: When Vinnie first appeared in the original Sift Heads, he wore round sunglasses (which were colored white) and a red tie, since he temporarily worked with the Red Mafia. Once he left, he lacked a tie, but kept the sunglasses. His appearance remains the same from Sift Heads 2 to Sift Heads Street Wars - Prologue, although with different shapes of glasses. Since Sift Heads Cartels - Act 1, he was given a scar on his head, reminiscent to that of the scar given to him by Alonzo in Sift Heads World - Ultimatum. Since Sift Heads Street Wars - Prologue, Vinnie's sunglasses are colored grey than white due to the fact he ditched his old sunglasses in Ultimatum. Vinnie was born in 2001 (making him 24 in 2025) as an only child in Florence, Italy. His appearance is a black stick figure nothing else but just a super dark oil black stick figure with white shades, like stick figure's he doesn't really have fingers just stubby ends to his hand so how he wields guns is anyone's guess. he doesn't have any visible genitalia, the secret is his super dark cock and balls comes out of his skin when he's horny ;) since he has no genitals he basically can get away with walking around naked with no clothes just like Kiro or literally any other non clothes wearing male stick figure. He's a bald stick figure so he has no hair, and he has a mouth with a fang tooth like a anime character hehe... but when his mouth's closed it looks like he has no mouth.

Backstory: At 2 years old he lost his dad in a gun-fire between two rival clans in Italy. Wanting to forget this tragic incident his mother decided to leave Europe and move to America to start a new life. Vinnie got his first taste of money by conning the cons themselves in the streets of Chicago. What was a simple hobby to him quickly turned into a profession. His name would spread very fast among locals as being the best bounty hunter in the area and soon the best in the world. Obviously, such notoriety would bring him many contracts, lots of money and women, but also his share of enemies. Although, this did not intimidate our star, who eliminated all who dared to oppose him. And all of a sudden, among all this violence, a woman entered his life. Vinnie was surprised that she could withstand such blood baths, but behold she could not withstand his charm. And since this day Shorty has been rolling by Vinnie’s side, and not just in the bedroom. A contract hit that turned sour forced Vinnie to meet one of his biggest adversaries: Kiro, an ex-member of the Yakuza, thirsty for vengeance. Following several heated battles Vinnie proposed an alternative to this quarrel and let Kiro take position among their team.

Relationships with other Protagonists

Shorty: Vinnie met Shorty on a beach and they both fell in love with one another. Vinnie admires how Shorty is terrific at shooting and for always knowing what to do for fun. In Sift Heads 4 when Vinnie was bored after eliminating all the criminals in Chicago and there was nothing left to do, Shorty suggested that Vinnie should go on vacation by sifting heads — but on an international level this time. Another time, Vinnie received help from Shorty due to being unable to sift heads alone when he was infiltrating a base and needed backup in Shorty Covers. Vinnie cares a lot for Shorty and this is evident from the time he rescued Shorty when she was captured by Kiro (during the events of Sift Heads 5), the Crips, and the Red Mafia (during the events of Sift Heads Cartels - Act 1), and also took care of her when she was injured in Sift Heads World: Act 7 - Ultimatum.

Kiro: Vinnie was ordered by a chief in the Yakuza to kill Kienji, Kiro's younger brother, to cover up a conspiracy between Yuuma and the Triads. Kiro was trying to kill him after the murder of several members of the Triads, but Vinnie defeated him. He spared the defeated samurai and told him to "not to kill someone who is paid, but the one who is paying." Later, when Kiro confronted some Yakuzas, Vinnie reappeared and shot the leader, leaving the rest for Kiro. Afterwards, Kiro met with Vinnie again, as he had his own enemies as well. Eventually, Kiro decided to shake off his hatred for Vinnie and became his partner instead.

Formerly enemies, Vinnie and Kiro eventually became trusted allies, and Kiro proved to be a formidable assassin to the gang. However, the two mostly poke fun at each other at times around. Vinnie is also annoyed by Kiro for making fun of him for living in the past; when Kiro started to ask about his age, Vinnie tells Kiro to throw himself out of the car, prompting Kiro to stop annoying Vinnie.

Vinnie also stopped Kiro from trying to kill police officers due to his fuel of rage, opting to stop them with non-lethal tactics. When Kiro was arrested, Vinnie rescued him to help him kill Alonzo and Yuuma.

During Sift Heads: Street Wars - Prologue, Vinnie started to tease Kiro for guarding the safe house. Kiro just explained that if they left the safe house unprotected, it might be blown up again. (shhhhhhh... don't tell shorty... he has a teeny tiny crush on Kiro...~)
