Real name: Vincent "Vince" LaBrea
Villain name: ???

Origin Story:
Born to Dolores and Nicholas LaBrea at Empire City Central Hospital, Vince was taken into state custody at the age of five after his father murdered his mother during one of his drunken rages. The state of Alderney sentenced him to death. Since then, Vince has alternated between any given foster home and the Juvenile Correctional Facility. Eventually, at the age of fifteen, Vince dropped out of high-school entirely, and disappeared from the Alderney State Child Services system. He spent the rest of his formative years on the street, learning the ins and outs of criminal life.

Vincent LaBrea was twenty-six when he was arrested in connection to an armored car robbery, but the evidence was purely circumstantial. Vince had fallen in with organized crime, running with a crew known for drug smuggling and theft. Heavyweights in their league, they were responsible for a number of high-profile jobs, including the Burlington Vault Heist and the infamously bloody Global Trust Bank heist. Despite their successes, they only operated on the periphery of organized crime, and with the explicit blessing of the crime family controlling the east coast. Vince in particular was in deep with the mob, and nearly every cent he made went to bookies and loansharks, with whatever was left usually going right up his nose. There was no getting out for Vince.


Vincent LaBrea, age 33, is currently serving a fifteen-year sentence at the Alderney State Correctional Facility for armed robbery and racketeering. Vince was finally picked up after Bobby Tillings, a former member of Vince's crew, turned state's evidence and testified against Vince after the SecuriTech Armored Car heist.

Mundane Qualities
Blue-Collar Criminal [+2]: A life of crime has given Vince experience in pretty much every street-level crime you can think of.
Fit [+2]: Prison has given him time to work on his fitness. He lifts. He boxes recreationally.
Underworld Contacts [+2]: He knows a guy who knows a guy.

Super-Ability
Illusions [+2]: Vince can create illusions to deceive the senses. They seem entirely real, and they can hurt like the real thing, but leave no lasting injuries or effects, save whatever the deceived do to themselves. When he leaves, the illusions fade. Vincent can only create what he understands or can imagine.

Drawbacks
In Debt to the Mob [-2]: Vince is in deep. A few bad bets, a lot of living large, and more than a few loans.
Not So Ex-Con [-2]: Vince has a rap sheet a mile long, his mug shot and prints are in the system along with every alias he's ever used. Furthermore, he is currently incarcerated at Alderney State Correctional Facility.

What do you want out of the game?
To take a relatively simple street-level, drug-fueled criminal and give him the power to carve a path of mayhem in his wake. Vince is very much a "let's play around" sort of character ruled by his passions rather than lofty goals and world-spanning ambition. Basically, I'm giving a member of the PAYDAY gang superpowers. Let's click cops.

Illusions [+2]: Seems fine. Just an FYI, as Vince is generating the illusions he won’t be able to create believable illusions about things he doesn’t know about. So while he can do stuff he has experience with just fine, the more outside his wheelhouse what he’s generating becomes the easier it will be for people to realize that something is up. Ex. Creating the illusion of some chemicals in a lab, the chemicals won’t behave believably if Vince doesn’t know what they do.

That was actually in the first version of the power that I lost to a computer restart. We're on the same page.

Drawbacks
Drug Addict [-2]: - Fine for the most part, but has the potential to become tedious if overused.
Edited; In Debt to the Mob is the new flaw.

I object;

Vince stopped being a conman in the first draft. He's a heister.
