Two Black Mercedes Benz S500's with Chicago plate on twenty inch chrome Lexani rims pulled out front of The Flamingo hotel and casino that was opened by gangster Bugsy Siegel in the 40's. The bright lights of 'The Strip' flashed in the night sky, exotic cars, limo's and people were everywhere in sight, a bell hop rushed over and opened the first Benz's door,

"Good evening sir and welcome to the Flamingo"

An Italian American got out of the car dressed in a very expencive suit with a Sheared Mink Coat draped over his shoulders, he puffed on a long fat cuban cigar,

"Thank you, the luggage is in the back"

Three more men also dressed in suits exited the car and followed the first man into the Hotel, the driver tossed Valet the keys. The men in the second car emtyed out and gave a second Valet their keys,

"Have the luggage taken to these rooms"

The driver of the second car passed the bell hop a small peice of paper and went inside after giving him a fifty dollar tip. Once inside the first man who exited the car turned around in a circle admiring the hotels size and splendor,

"Ahaha! Las Vegas boys! what did i tell ya's!"

Another man laughed then replyed,

"Frankie!! ahahaha"

While one of the other men with the man know known as Frankie went over to cheak in the others stood in the foyer watching the girls pass by giving them a nod and often received a smile or nothing at all,

"Jeeesh, that was cold ey Tony! ahaha!"

Frank patted one of the others on the shoulder in a playful manner with a big grin across his face....

"This is gonna be the vacation the boss want's us to take! boys are we gonna have a good time!"

OOC: Just a small introduction that im gonna copy and paste on the IC :)

Name: Daniel Vanderhoof
Age: 35
Height: 6'0
Weight: 215 lbs, atheltic build
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde

Bio: Daniel has a long and storied past, with a true history of violence. Born and raised in South Africa, he enlisted with the military at age 18 with the 4th Infantry Battalion. His skills showed, and he volunteered to take the special forces qualification. He excelled at the new challenge, and was accepted into the 5 Reconnaissance Commando unit as a sniper, fighting in the Border Wars against Angolan terrorist units. He served with distinction, until he decided to leave and see the rest of the world outside of South Africa. He traveled the world, hiring himself out to various investors in order to finance his operations. He fought as a mercenary in the mid 80s in the Latin America wars, helped Kurdish rebels before the start of the first Gulf War and assisted US Special Forces in Iraq, worked as a sniper for the Christian Forces in the eastern European genetic cleansings, and hired himself to both sides of the recent conflict in Sieria Leone. He has confrimed kills well into the hundreds with his rifle, and is aslo an accomplished CQB fighter.

He is in Los Vegas for vacation, but seing as how violence all but follows him, he is sure to find some action. He is also a true adrenaline junkie, and enjoys many out door activites as well as driving his heavily moddified 2002 BMW M3 or his Triumph Daytona motorcycle. On every operation, he carries not only his rifle, a heavily customized one of made just for him, but also a compact Vektor R4 assault rifle. At all times, he keeps a Beretta 92FS loaded with black market purchased Black Talon rounds. He is not much of a drug user, partaking in the use sparingly, but can drink heavily if need be.

just as a side note not sure if this role is even still ongoing but in the glory days of Vegas when mobsters ruled the town many hit men preferred a good .22. as a matter of fact when you hear about most assassinations back then that refer to a double tap they were mainly done with a .22 two round to head because of the small caliber the bullet had enough force to enter the skull but not enough to exit the skull causing the round to ricochet inside the victims skull causing serve damage and practically instant death.
