Vinny is a tall, handsome young man with an athletic build and pale skin. He has wild, wavy red hair and different-colored eyes. One is red (left), and the other is black (right). This condition is called heterochromia. Another condition called Waardenburg syndrome caused the color of his left eye and hair. He has his left ear pierced. He also has 2 moles under his left eye. On his left arm, he has a scar from his crash with Minu. In his school uniform, Vinny wears a gyobok (Hangul: 교복), consisting of the Gunn High's blazer with the school's emblem stitched on the left pocket—a t-shirt that varies in colors and a dress trouser. While in his casual attire, Vinny usually wears the Adidas' iconic Firebird track top with three stripes along the sleeves and the Trefoil logo embroidered on the left. T-shirts and pants that vary in colors, sometimes Adidas track pants to match, and a pair of red Vans Old Skool. Later in the story, Vinny is seen wearing the Louis Vuitton Varsity Jacket, Stone Island cargo pants, and Chrome Hearts Made In Hollywood denim jacket, all in their own respective episodes in chapter 4, which Juwon Ryu bought for him. Personality One thing that I've noticed in life is that people trample on and beat down anyone who thinks and looks different from themselves. Why? Does it give them a sense of superiority? I feel the only way for me to survive is to beat these a**holes at their own game.. If the only other option is to be treated like s#it by jerks like this just for being different then I'd rather just go insane like a rabid dog and tear them all to shreds since the world is freaking unfair anyway. --Vinny in part 1, chapter 53. People might describe him as a monster created by society. Vinny is seen by others as a dangerous lunatic, good for nothing, and a freak, especially at the start of the story. As a child, he was a sweet kid who was constantly enduring teasing from his peers. Because of this, he puts up an emotional wall surrounding himself, bottling up his feelings, and doesn't get along well with others. He cares deeply about his mom and does not tolerate anyone who disrespects his mother, not even her self-deprecation. He often blames himself for the misfortune brought upon his mother emotionally and physically. He tends to be irrational when solving problems and was even willing to sell his bike to pay for his mother's surgery. In later arcs, it's revealed that Vinny suffers from inferiority complex, which became the reason why he wanted to prove his worth so desperately. He's been shown to think of his existence as a curse that caused his family to suffer from poverty. Vinny, himself, says: "The beginning of all this tragedy was me. Like a curse brought on by my birth. misfortunes kept pouring in...accidents, poverty...and violence." Even though Vinny told his father that everything happened because of him, it seems he blames himself for all the tragedy that took place in his family, even the domestic abuse. The chapter showed us that Vinny thinks he's also the cause of his father's violence. After this and the bullying he endured, he lived with no expectations of life. This is shown in early chapters, where it's said that Vinny kept skipping school and rotted in his dirty room, showing us that he was dealing with depression. Vinny made it his goal to prove his worth and stop living like a lowlife. His childhood sweetness does make an appearance once in a while. He displays a great deal of empathy, even while displaying it through hardened words. He stopped Sung from attempting to commit suicide because of bullying by telling him that if he has the courage to die, he should use it to change himself first. Vinny beat up the bullies who were bullying the otakus for their appearance and interests because the whole situation reminds him of when he was bullied. He gave refuge to Jay and Minu when they ran away from home and was willing to share what little resources he had. And he even allowed Dom to tag along with him, even though he had no reason to stay there. Even though Vinny constantly tells them to go home, Vinny does not kick them out when they decide to stay. Vinny is a heavy sleeper and can sleep through most noises. A surefire way to get him up is to mention food or have the scent of food waft in his vicinity. History Since the world is freaking unfair anyway

As shown in the chapters, Vinny was born with a weak body and stuck in the hospitals with constant illnesses, which caused his family's restuarant to go bankrupt. In his childhood, he was shown to be bullied by neighborhood kids due to his different appearance from a young age. Vinny had suffered a lot of harassment and discrimination. One day a boy named Minu appeared on a bicycle and saves Vinny from being bullied by other children. Minu and Vinny had been close since they were young, riding bikes together and it seemed like Minu was the only one who treated Vinny purely as a friend. Skills and Techniques Impact Peddling - It is a skill in which you use the hips and core so that they become the axis of the body's rhythm and thus you can use more power. Vinny used this technique for the first time against Jay Jo. Sangho Choi taught him this skill.

Tailing - Follows right behind another rider to best reduce wind resistance. It was mentioned that Vinny tails dangerously close.

Quick instincts - Vinny showcases how quickly he can react many times throughout the series. During the match against the Asura crew, he avoided collision with Dom and June by jumping over them.

Street fighter - Vinny is strong in street fights and possibly better than Dom but worse than Joker.

Advertisement The bike Vinny's steed is a "fixie" bike with a riser bar instead of the standard drop bars on the other bikes in the story. Many riser bar fixies are famous, some of the most notable being on the cheaper end of the spectrum or extremely durable premium bikes. In this case, Vinny rides a custom pink fixed-gear by Nakagawa, a keirin fixed-gear brand (which is made of steel but is described as a carbon fiber frame in the webtoon), a Spinergy Rev X front wheel, and generic deep dish rear wheel. The frame is quite expensive, ranging from $500 to $2500, though Vinny's bike frame is a rare pink one, placed in the $2000 - $2500 range. The Spinergy Rev X is a carbon wheel notorious for breaking, but it stays miraculously intact on Vinny's bike, costing about $400 due to plot armor. The rear wheel may be carbon, but a price estimate could be between $100 - $300 based on wild guesses. True to Vinny's wild nature, the bike is partially sticker-bombed, mainly on the frame's down tube. The Ghost Crew wrecked this bike after a race against its captain, Hwangyeon. When Vinny joined Team Hummingbird, the founding members and Sung gifted him a new bike. It is a pink-purple Bridgestone Anchor NJS provided with a flat bar instead. Vinny eventually changed to drop bars and started riding with clipless pedals. Trivia Vinny's back profusely sweats when he's scared. It was displayed when the crew encountered a ghost on the way up the mountain to train.

One of the few things Vinny is proficient at in cooking is Ramen. He often cooks a pot for his friends voluntarily and involuntarily.

He's terrible at basketball. He lost when playing against Minu at the arcade.

He can almost instantly fall asleep, and only the promise of food can wake him.

He quit smoking to be in better physical condition for cycling.

He has a bad habit of drinking from anything but a glass or a cup.

He always gets angry when his friends want to come to his house, but never chases them away, but cooks for them and lets them sleep over.
