The Past
Main Traits:
Opportunistic: taking advantage of the down trodden to advance his own situation
Cunning: In contrary to how he was raised (to be honest) he has become quite the actor playing the role that will get him story.
Impudent: You think because you have an extra something [title] before your name that you deserve more than other?
Likes:Spicy Food & Fruit, animals (preferably large and scary), extreme sports

Hometown:
Personality: Raised in a group of straight shooter it is no surprise that Neville turned out to be brutality honest. This upbringing also leads him to be overly involved in other peoples business. Normally passing for caring but it can definitely be seen as annoying and intrusive. It isn't as though he can't lie, he tells the truth because he doesn't see the point of lying. Full of life and energy he enjoys doing things that are considered terrifying and exhilarating. Often the first both suggest something dangerous and actually do it. Even though he fights for the revolutionaries and by extension the freedom of the world he isn't above doing the reprehensible. A prime example of this is setting up others to take the blame for crimes he has committed. He draws the line at 'setting up' those are genuinely good. In other words Neville will only setup those he knows have committed a crime with malice (Stealing to feed family wouldn't do it).
Generally speaking Neville is overly friendly preferring hugs over handshakes and tends to violate peoples personal spaces, despite hating enclosed space. He loves his food hot and spicy to the point where he has gotten into fights with cooks and wait staff over bland cold food.
During a fight Neville the gloves are off he will use any means necessary human shields, groin kicks, dirt to the eyes, you name it.
- History:
Born in Sakura Kingdom, a winter island on the Grandline, Neville got to spend a lot of his free time playing in the snow, making sculptures, and forts. Back in those days with his mother, father, and siblings were happy times. His mother was a soldier for the kingdom and his father a doctor. Neville's sister would tag alongside him wherever he went for the most part he didn’t mind but he didn’t exactly make it easy for her to keep up. On more than one occasion he would get injured by the local fauna and come home injured often dragged home by his sister.
Neville became somewhat famous for his sculptures, locally, the beautiful thing about a winter island is what you make out of snow and ice tends to last.
An avalanche would we spell tragedy for this family. If only Neville hadn't been so wrapped up his creation he might of noticed it sooner. Unable to reach his sister in time it would claim her life and spare his. For days even after the rest of the search party had stopped looking for her, Neville continued.
His brother would blame him for her death and although his parents would never say that to him their relationship wouldn't be the same. Eventually they would move to Black Drum kingdom and after one final creation out of sand of the Drum Rockies he would never sculpt again. This passion would be traded for photography which would lead to reporting later in life. Reporting would lead him to become a revolutionary.
During the rest of the time Neville was with his family his mom would be to depressed to work, spending most of her days in the house. His father had become a stronger role model doing justice to the title 'head of the house'. His brother would become angry lashing getting into fights and petty crimes. Neville would continue to talk his sister and treat her as if she was there. But otherwise lived somewhat normal even gaining friends who he taught to use their environment to do things that were traditional for winter climates. Since he was new to warm climates a whole new world of foods were opened to him and he became obsessed with spice and fruit. With the exception of that one piece of fruit that tasted like shit he has been gorging on the food since.
Sometime after eating that disgusting fruit he joined Black Drum's royal army for to do an investigative story on the kingdom. Is currently considered a deserter- Spoiler:
- Note the trauma of the avalanche has caused to think he is cold whenever he isn't wearing his jacket.
His not sculpting is because that was an activity done with his sister watching. Photography and writing his hoping that she would get to read the stories and see the pictures.

Neville's looking good! Almost ready to go. Just need you to remove the bit about knowing (even if only slightly) how to read poneglyphs. This is because only a very special group of scholars based in Ohara even study the poneglyphs, and also for balancing reasons. If I allow one person to know how to read poneglyphs, soon everyone will start doing it.

Isn't that a slippery slope fallacy? The whole history and planned future falls apart surrounding that. Unless you mean that only Ohara scholars on this site can understand them that isn't actually the case.
So I changed the whole history. No point of a historian who can't deal with the glyphs

I'm not sure what you mean by "it isn't actually the case that only Oharan scholars know how to read poneglyphs." But, I'm sorry that you had to change your entire history. I would disagree that it's not entirely useless to have a historian that can't read poneglyphs (which would imply that there is no useful historian in the world besides the ones on Ohara.) But, anyways.

Generally speaking Neville is overly friendly preferring hugs over handshakes and tends to violate peoples personal spaces, despite hating enclosed space. He loves his food hot and spicy to the point where he has gotten into fights with cooks and wait staff over bland cold food. Part of the problem is own Devil fruit an uncontrolled breath could leave his food frozen. Oddly enough it wouldn't be uncommon for him to say something Things are heating up or I am about to light it up before using his df. Even though he isn't actually affected by the cold outside of combat he will overreact to the cold.
During a fight Neville the gloves are off he will use any means necessary human shields, groin kicks, dirt to the eyes, you name it.
