<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">Background  <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">Giacomo "Jimmy" Rossetti was raised in the tough city neighborhood of Eveningside. The neighborhood's name was a pretty fair descriptor, since there were always shadows in the area, even at high noon. The constant shadows gave rise to a seedy underworld, founded by the bootlegging enterprises of the Italian protection racket. As time progressed, and booze was made legal again, the underworld families found new enterprises in racketeering, illegal drug distribution, and political organizing.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">It was in the midst of this chaos and illegality that Jimmy was raised. His direct lineage had been predetermined for years, with arranged marriages all leading to what was supposed to be a metahuman with mob training and illegal sensibilities. Jimmy's father had been a mid-level mobster in the Donato crime family and his mother the daughter of the family consigliere, but Jimmy wanted nothing to do with the business.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">He used his growing powers, which came to light during adolescence, specifically to avoid becoming entangled in the world for which he was literally bred. When a chance came to escape the neighborhood and, hopefully, the pressures therein, Jimmy jumped at it. That chance was the Navy.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">While on deployment, the Donato family's boss, "Fat Frank" Francesco Farzone, ordered Jimmy’s father killed, hoping that Jimmy would come home to pick up the pieces. The big plan, hatched by Jimmy's grandfather Marco "Polo" Ponzere, was to bring Jimmy back into the fold, but the battle-hardened vet had other plans.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">Wearing a ceremonial balaclava given to him by a Sikh guru, a black leather trench coat (better to hide long weapons with), and a black shirt and pants, Jimmy snuck through the shadows of Eveningside and waited in ambush outside a local gambling and prostitution den. His first shot took out Fat Frank, but his second missed Polo.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">Jimmy is now on the run from his grandfather, who was made the new boss, as well as the police, many of whom are on the take for the Donato family. Being mostly alone in his endeavors and the constant fear of being killed by his own grandfather have led to Jimmy's growing paranoia.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt">In the meantime, Jimmy has solidified his presence as a street level hero, taking out neighborhood thugs. His mother knows about his new presence as "The Singularity" and struggles to make him see that killing, even in the course of doing right, is simply wrong. Most of the time Jimmy can stop himself before the lethal shot, but every once in awhile rage at his birthright and his father's murder (and his own inability to prevent it) boils over, leading to a dead thug.
