{Appearance & Personality}
-Personality Traits-
Alignment: An Energetic Chaotic Good
EnergeticViceroy is an energetic kid, he's happy and all the way enthused to be able to do what he loves to do and work on the front lines. There is often a smile on his face and a laugh in his chest as he bubbles his way around scenes.
TricksyViceroy is a bit of a trickster, he likes to mess around a bit and take fun pictures. He's a snooper, peeper, scoop digger, and generally nosy person who has a talent for getting where he doesn't belong. Don't fall for his bait because he'll send you for a loop.
GenkiViceroy is happy almost deliriously so. Full of energy he can fill the room with. Also a bit of an airhead at time he fits many of the stereotypes that would classify one as genki. He is always happy to meet new people and is often the first to step into a situation and shake hands. Even when he really shouldn't be.
Journalistic IntegrityViceroy is an idealist when it comes to journalistic integrity. He always looks to tell the real story, its part of why he's come to the front lines to become the on-site journalist for the epic of the Tea Company. It is totally not because he thinks Bianca is pretty. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
LiarViceroy is a liar, all beginning with his first lie that he works for the World Gazette. He doesn't really see it as lying, they are all white lies to help him achieve the higher truth which is showing the world the truth of what happens. And you know to sneak peaks at things, learn information he shouldn't, and in general be a little bit of a troublemaker.
No AwarenessViceroy has little to no awareness of what's going on without him. While he makes up for this with enthusiasm, he knows little of the outside world and its goings on. Worse he is not always fully aware of the situation in the room he's in and is liable to barge into things that he really shouldn't be getting into.
Scared of DyingViceroy is not a fighter. He's had absolutely no training and though he has a devil fruit he dislikes using it because it makes it harder for him to see. Do not trust him in a fight, if he specializes in anything in fights its either dying or running away. Normally this'd be a fine fight or flight instinct, but due to his lack of awareness. He is often finding himself in trouble situations and not realizing it until it is way too late. Leaving him cowering on the floor hoping to survive the next few minutes.

AppearanceViceroy likes to think he dresses stylishly, though that is questionable at best.. Normally he wears a button up t-shirt and khakis on top of some very lazily tied sneakers. Atop that is his vest, if one can call it that, it looks much more like a coat except lacking sleeves and a midsection. The coat is a tannish color and made mostly of cloth and leather. It is strewn with pockets up and down where he keeps all the implements he needs to write his journal articles. Of course to top it off he has the sleuth's cap as he likes to call it. A red and tan deerstalker, it fits loosely upon his head and seems as though it'd fall off with the light breath of the wind. Finally he has a camera hung about his neck, as a photographer can't go anywhere without his trusty camera.
Physically Viceroy is nothing really. His physical shape is if anything a little underpar for where he should be. Not to mention he's short. All of his limbs are skinny and he looks a bit underfed most of the time. That being said he's mostly soft to the touch showing absolutely no muscle. His hair isn't well done and bunches randomly to one side or the other. He is in actuality just a mess.

-Inventory-
CameraViceroy's trusty camera, it's actually quite a nice camera compared to most of the stuff he uses. Viceroy brings it everywhere and it is his most dear possession.
Journalistic StuffPaper, pencils, notepad, ink, and whatever else he needs. These are Viceroy's tools and he keeps them in full supply as often as he can afford to. Often he'll give up meals to make sure he has the stuff necessary.-Skills-
Non-Combat Skills
PhotographerViceroy is actually an excellent photographer when he wants to be. His photos can be powerful, moving, inspirational, comedic, whatever. He has a good sense for that kind of timing and lighting. Put him behind a camera and you've got someone worthy.
WritingViceroy has the heart of journalist, but that's about it. He can talk on the fly, and he is able to write but he's nowhere good enough to actually become a journalist. But he's practicing and that's what counts! Right!??!
Combat Skills
Hedgehog Human - Devil Fruit TraitAs a Zoan Devil Fruit the Nezu Nezu no Mi: Model Hedgehog grants Viceroy access to multiple transformations with a Hedgehog-like component. In those forms Viceroy improves his strength and durability along with gaining an immunity to poisons. His senses of smell and hearing improve while his vision declines and of course he gains a powerful hide full of strong and pointy spines.-Fighting Styles-
Nezu Nezu no Mi: Model Hedgehog
E-Rank DF FiSt100 X-Poinz (50 X-Poinz)
The Nezu Nezu no Mi: Model Hedgehog as a Zoan fruit grants Viceroy multiple transformations that he can turn to mixing Hedgehog and Human. Improving his strength, toughness, hearing, and sense of smell it also takes away from his visual acuity. Viceroy has no love for his fruit ability though it grants him greatly improved defenses and thus rarely takes its forms.
Outside of his fruit ability Viceroy is nearly useless in combat. He has no training to fight and apart from basically understanding what punches and kicks are he can't do anything. He does however keep a pistol with him, though he's about as accurate as one with little to no pistol training can be.
Aspects
WeaponsPistol
Rank 0 WeaponA simple flintlock pistol, it doesn't even have a revolver for multiple shots. Viceroy really needs more training with this weapon to make it any useful.
TechniquesNone As Of Yet
{Character Relations}
-Family-The Talbots - Parents - Viceroy has a lot of love and a little bit of hate for his parents. They did give him the name Viceroy which he despises with a passion. But otherwise he loves them very much. He is happy they let his free to explore his own goals in life. He hasn't talked to them in a while though. He hopes they're doing well.
August Talbot - Older Brother - Viceroy's older brother August is the smart one, the responsible one, and ever the perfect older brother. There was an inherent competitive-ness between the two when they were younger but it has long fallen away to gentle ribbing. It is partially because of his older brother's astuteness that Viceroy is allowed to do as he pleases now. They have a brotherly love that is imperfect and yet perfect for the same reason.-Friends-None as of yet
-Foes-None as of yet
{History}
Youth (0-10)Viceroy grew up part of a well-to-do upper class family on _______ island. Younger by two years than his brother growing up he was often in his brother's shadow. The older, more competent, and brilliant brother August was off earning their parents praises while Viceroy took to his study. Improving his skills he was never really a match for his brother in the art of studying. Such was not to be his forte but it build a competitive nature between them with him always the one lagging behind.
His brother was the one taken to functions, who earned awards and the like. Viceroy on the other hand stayed in his room looking at books of pictures, reading magazines and the like and learning of the world without moving far from his mansion. Viceroy however even with all his failures never really felt down or depressed from it all. He simply continued on as happy as he could be interacting with the family's staff. Thanks to his family's fair lax rules he got along quite well with them and improved in his own way.
Birth of the Photographer (10-14)Viceroy around the age of ten fell into his love of photography when his parents bought him a camera. With his brother's achievements the burden of becoming the heir fell out of possibility for Viceroy so due to the general laxness of his parents he was allowed to pursue his own passions more. It is perhaps then that Viceroy began to understand that August through his hard work was granting the freedom to Viceroy that he would soon wish for with everything he had. But for the time being he was given a camera.
Here and perhaps here alone did he really surpass his brother. While his brother could take a good picture, it lacked the color and passion that one might find in August's. In his own way Viceroy found his niche and loved it. He grew engrossed in journals on photography as he grew older learning techniques, how to work with lighting and how to frame pictures. His skill grew naturally and he gained a small following in a local journal he submitted photographs to.
It was in this time that he really learned about newspaper journalism. His second fancy brought on by the news of the Whitebeard War and all that had happened there. He began to wish to report the truth. That which he heard of the war was so vague and undetailed he wanted more. And since the newspapers didn't seem to want to give it to him he decided to choose to do it himself. With his photos as the proof he decided he would show the world the stories that they wanted to hear. And more importantly the stories he wanted to hear and then tell everyone.
Tracking the White Rose (15-16)Viceroy's first goal was to find someone to track. It was around his fifteenth year that he finally heard stories of the White Rose. A young bounty hunter who had supposedly taken out an underground organization known as FC. It was then he went to his parents and asked to be allowed to go chasing his stories. With his brother firmly placed as the heir, they granted him his wish and giving him a package of gold they let him on his way.
Trouble caught him quickly as upon leaving _______ he was captured by bandits who knew they could ransom him back to his family. Stuck in some hideout he didn't know of surrounded by bandits Viceroy was terrified. But one day stuck in the hideout as he was quietly struggling with his bonds. Screams and yells journeyed in from the hideouts entrance. As the bandits ran to the front Viceroy struggled with his bonds causing him to crash into a wooden box tipping it over at the time. When out rolled a strange looking fruit, hunger took him and moments later he bit into it. Spitting it out seconds later as he realized that it must have been completely rotten Viceroy was then saved by a group of marines who had gotten an anonymous tip about a bandit hideout.
While his journey didn't start well, it continued on. Leaving ______ he headed to sea. With what money he had scrounged from what the bandits took and his trusty camera at his side Viceroy set out. With the seas ahead he began to track the stories of the White Rose in the hopes to someday meet and join her group as an on-board journalist to record the truth of their, her, stories.
