HAIR;

HEIGHT; Vince's stands at 6'3", almost 6'4".
GENERAL APPEARANCE;
Vincent Alberti is like your typical Italian male aside from the graying spiky hair that he has. His rather large stature makes him look incredibly intimidating (which he can be) but truthfully, he doesn't really use his height to show off what he can be. Overall, there are a few scars on his body, not to mention a small gash on the back of his head. He blames it on his boss a bit.
Overall, Vincent is muscular, but of course, it doesn't need word to prove that. He doesn't bow and flex either to woo the ladies - not his style. His jobs keep him built as well as him working out when he has free time. Provided he gets it.
DRESSING STYLE; The song "Sharp Dressed Man" would easily fit dear Vincent, that is, if he's not working at the pizzeria. He makes sure he looks good, but it's not to make the ladies swoon over him. It's to keep up the good name of his family as well as to keep his parents from smothering him about his appearance. His outfits may switch from jeans and a tee with a leather jacket to a business suit, even slacks and a golf shirt. He's flexible with what he feels up to wearing, but of course, if he's working at the pizzeria, he's in the red t-shirt with a pair of black jeans.

Cigars (been smoking them since he was eighteen)

When Boss is in a good mood
DISLIKES;
Working at Nero's Pizzeria (but of course, you've got to help with the family business)
Boss's temper tauntrums

Sticking up for his boss through thick and thin
Throwing people up against a wall if he doesn't trust them
Finding himself constantly a magnet for trouble
Speaking his mind and sometimes not caring what comes out of his mouth
STRENGTHS;
Has the power of influence with his family being one of the top mafia families in Gotham
Can be very persuaive in finding out information
A rather good marksman and hand to hand combat person
WEAKNESSES;
Cocky attitude at times
Doesn't open up nearly enough for people to know what he's really like
Has put his life on the line numerous times for his boss, which has led to his death almost.
GENERAL CHARACTER TRAITS;
Vince really can be best described a rubix cube. Seriously. You have to work at it to figure out what he really is all about. The man seems warm and friendly to those who are the allies but deadly icy towards those he doesn't trust or have ended up on his bad side. The youngest of twelve children to the Alberti family, Vince really doesn't like to be babied in general but then again, he doesn't want to be treated like he's royalty.
Of course, if anything were to happen to him, he knows that his family would be there for him in an instant and he'd do so the same for them. It should be duly noted even though he's a great marksman, he doesn't always go for the lethal cut. Sometimes, in fact, he'll go for the alternative and simply paralyze the person to keep them from moving until they can receive medical attention.

EDUCATIONAL HISTORY; Vincent attended the finest catholic prep schools (which also included studying abroad at times) and eventually went to Gotham University. He has a degree in criminal justice (odd, right?) as well as a minor in history.
BACKGROUND STORY;
Vincent Truman Alberti was the final child of the Alberti line as Rinaldo and his third wife, Josephine, decided to call it quits. The age difference was clear as his father was precisely sixteen in 1936 and married, eventually having his first child by 1938. Three different wives, the former two wives and the ten children from those marriages still remained close to the family name. So, naturally with Josephine, she had the two other children, which Vincent was the youngest of the two.
As is with any mafia family, it was always high strung and paced, but it's not to say that the families took excellent care of one another. Sure, there were fights and disagreements, especially on the constant matters of the pizzeria, but overall, it was a stable environment for young Vincent at times. He did endure moments where the older siblings would dress him up and of course, that is something he does not want to ever remember or recollect with anyone. His passion for historical matters as well as culinary and marksman things only intensified when he grew older. Sure, there were girlfriends, but often enough he was either dumped by them or he dumped them when they got too close for the family's comfort which included his own.
During his school years, his father made sure he had a strong education, which meant he endured catholic schools but often enough, he got to travel overseas at times to study abroad too. This gave him a chance to sample the world's tastes and he even participated once or twice in a boy's choir. Still to this day if he hears any chamber music, it's something he gets sentimental about. Inside, naturally. Deciding after high school years to continue with a collegiate education, Vincent did so and balanced that education with working at Nero's. His degree in criminal justice would pay off in later years and his minor in history was just as good.
His love for cigars had started when his father and him traveled to Cuba and that was something had taken up. Sure, he knew the risks but chose to not simply care. He even began to keep to himself a great deal more but fortune had a way of turning on him. The young Alberti befriended a young blonde man by the time he had finished his time at Gotham University. The boy's name was Benjamin Ripner and the two seemed like blood brothers and it was to the point where the Alberti's took Ripner under their wing when Vincent spoke of Benji's life.
Time passed and soon enough, it seemed Ripner was suffering under the roof of his adoptive father, so Vincent was now determined to take matters into his own hands. It appeared the futile attempt by Benjamin to poison the man had failed so Vincent and one of his older brothers, along with Benji, took care of the problem. The entire adoptive family was sent off aside the father one summer evening in 1992 and Vincent silenced the man for life. The police squads tried to have him tried for murder but as is with any form of mafia families, they took care of all the evidence and thus, he was never tried. Vincent was glad about not having to go to jail but he watched Benji spiral downward, eventually marrying but after his wife left him in 1998 ... it got bad. REAL bad so Vincent had his family put Ripner in Arkham. He feared that Benji would hate him for it, but the poor man was so doped up on sedatives, he didn't know.
Ten years passed and when Benji got out, Vincent hardly recognized him at all. The scars on his face and the new name of 'Joker' was adopted. The two men, more like Joker, took down Benji's father. Of course, he became his right hand man and as well the source for reason if Benji couldn't do it right. Currently, Vincent still works at Nero's but is the Joker's top henchman that he'll never kill. Naturally, Vincent is still single (and sorta looking), but is still as tough as ever.

CHARACTER TITLE; The Hit Man.
HOW DID YOU FIND THE SITE?; Hmmmm. I'm the co-admin? >
ANYTHING ELSE? This is Nero's Pizzeria! Thirty minutes or less! We bake 'em, you take 'em!
r o l e p l a y . s a m p l e
A sigh and groan uttered from his lips as he picked up the phone and punched the blinking light. "This is Nero's Pizzeria. Thirty minutes or less - we bake 'em, you take 'em," he chimed in a bored tone before continuing, "What'll be tonight, folks?" He pulled the order pad and scribbled down, still not recognizing the voice of his own boss. As he looked to the paper, he reread it as he did every time and then laughed as he saw what he had written down. "You know I'm at work, buddy, but if you really want that mushroom with salami and onion double decker pizza, it'll be twenty five even. Ya got thirty minutes, starting now." He put down the phone and the order was soon in the works.
Eventually, it was slid into the box and Vince was heading out to the black Charger. Sliding into the driver's seat and putting the pizza down on the passenger seat. Buckling up, he turned the vehicle on and sped off as music from the Blues Brothers played. Pushing the phone button, he waited for it to go off and then said 'Main Line.' Of course, one more ring before to voicemail and Joker picked up. "I'm on the way with the pizza and we'll talk then. Thanks for getting me out of there. It was beginning to head into Hell again." Joker spoke back, laughter exchanged between the two. "See ya in ten. Bye." The call ended and soon, Vince was singing to the song.
