Sift Heads Characters

Kiro

Kiro is part of a Japanese family affiliated with the Japanese mafia, referred to as Yakuza. He is an extremely accurate and ruthless assasin, one of the best in his family. Prolific at his craft, his many kills have earned him the title as one of the Orient's best.
Kiro is adept at using all sorts of Samurai weapons. There are few that he is unable to utilize with accuracy and expertise.
Not all has gone well in Kiro's life. One of his brothers (the youngest) was killed due to organization in-fighting and corruption. His brother's death, for a time, fueled Kiro's rage and thirst for revenge. After determining that Vinnie, a fellow assassin, along with the Yakuza, was to blame Kiro went after both. Fighting and death ensued. However, eventually, Vinne and Kiro would bury the hatchet and find a common enemy and ground. The two men, who were once enemies, would surprisingly become allies.

Vinnie

Vinnie, as mentioned above, was once an enemy of Kiro, before the two joined forces. Born in Florence, as the only child of his parents, Vinnie lost his father while just a toddler. He was shot down when a fight erupted between two rival, Italian clans. Soon after Vinnie, along with his mother, high tailed it to America. He would become a con artist and eventually an assassin, rising up the ranks to become the leader of his group. Vinnie was so good that he was soon dubbed America's best bounty hunter.

Shorty

Shorty is Vinnie's love interest. Born into a wealthy French family, she became bored and began to thirst for adventure and excitement. To appease that thirst, she started dating European drug dealers. Eventually, she would move to America, where she met and fell in love with Vinnie. With the ability to use a variety of weapons, Shorty isn't one to be trifled with. She is almost as lethal as her boyfriend.
