Personality: How your character thinks and responds. Be as in depth as possible.
Dream/Goal: What does a man like Nikko want? It's strange... But he wants to write the first, and only biography on the King of Pirates. Gold Roger. To do so, he plans to follow Roger's path, act as a pirate, and truly understand what made the King... The King.
History: The one and only child of Shiki the Golden Lion. A child of the greatest rival of the King of Pirates, and possible heir to the empire his father had designed for him. And yet, born in the North Blue, Nikko never had the same kind of interests his father did. He never had the interest to simply sit in ships, and fly around the world. He never saw the glory of his heritage. Instead... As a child he was always fond of somebody other than his father. Gold Roger. His father's rival, was the one who caught his eyes. Some days, he would follow his father about on trips, just in the hopes of seeing Roger. But he only saw him once, from a distance. That was also the day his father his injured by a steering wheel, which he adopted as a family crest of a kind. Thus why part of a steering wheel acts as a makeshift hair-tie.
Shiki often insisted that his child, and heir should be special. More so than any pirate, and more than Roger. As such, he spent quite a fortune seeking out a Devil Fruit that he believed would make his son a powerful pirate. It took several years, but on Nikko's thirteenth birthday, he was gifted with a devil fruit. He didn't like it, but biting his lip, he swallowed his dis-interest in his father's ambition, and ate the fruit. The Taiyō Taiyō No Mi. A Devil Fruit sometimes known as the Sun Sun Fruit. It was a paramecia that embodied the eater with the power of the sun itself, but in a way that they possesses the heat and light, and not the flames.
Turning fifteen, the boy's dis-interest with his father's plans reached a peak. He left to go visit his mother in the South Blue, a trip he didn't bother returning from. He had spent years with his father in the hopes of seeing Roger, and yet nothing came from it. As he was never truly a pirate, and he worked hard to bury his father's connection to him, Nikko was never a target by the World Government. Instead he took on other hobbies, like writing. Hoping to write stories about great pirates.
Then... He was eighteen, and Roger died. His words sparking a cry to seek One Piece. And there... WAS THE SPARK OF INSPIRATION HE NEEDED! Nikko knew the story he wanted to tell. It was one he had failed to see as a child, but now as an adult? He wanted to write the Pirate King's Biography. But the king was dead. The only way to write such a story would be to go on the seas, and follow Roger's own path. Taking up a dingy, he vowed to recreate Roger's rise to power, without the influence his father would have offered him.
Though... He has received letters from his father's former First Mate, asking him to consider joining up with the Golden Lion Pirates, despite his father's imprisonment in Impel Down. He has naturally turned down such offers.
Crew: The Red Lion Pirates. They currently have no ship, no real crew, and no treasure. Except for a lot of paper. He could have a ship, but that'd require asking his dad's old mates. That's just lame...
Ship: A tiny sailboat.
Specialty/Profession: Professional Writer / Ship Captain (A role he must fill in order to become adjusted to writing about Gol D. Roger.)
Fighting Style: How does your character fight? Try and be as inventive and in depth as possible. Please list any named techniques and attacks here as well.
Weapons: Describe the weapon(s) that your character wields, if any.
Devil Fruit: Taiyō Taiyō No Mi - A paramecia fruit, also known as the Sun Sun Fruit. This fruit is referred to as one of the Invincible Fruits, despite this though it's also considered one of the weakest of that bunch. It turns the possessor into a living sun. Their body radiates heat, and they can generate excessive amounts of light. The power stored inside their body is comparable to a nuclear reactor, as they may as well never tire, or need food or water ever again. As their body is constantly generating the power of a sun, and thus negates the need for other kinds of rest.
Offensively, the user is able to generate excessive amounts of heat from their limbs. When touching another person, it can result in evaporating the water in the air that is struck, or by creating heat to push a ship along without wind.
Secondarily, this devil fruit allows the user to produce light from their body. This light can temporarily blind others, and be concentrated into beams. But due to Nikko practically squandering his devil fruit training, he is practically unable to properly focus his light or heat into anything other than the most simple forms.
