Tony Pizza

Tony Pizza is a character roleplayed by Nijisanji EN Vtuber Vox Akuma.
==Background and Personality==
*Note that due to Tony's pathological lying, all facts presented are to be taken with a grain of salt.
Tony Pizza came from Sicily, Italy carrying the Pizza family name, his heirloom family cologne, poor motor skills, and the burden of childhood trauma involving his father and sharks when his was 7 years old. (Young Tony was dropped into a shark tank by his father to show him what it means to "be a man") Mr. Pizza Senior died in a car accident (another source of trauma) and Tony claims the Pizza family belongs to him now- though there is little information about what that entails or if any other members are around to share his legacy. The Pizza family restaurant and main residence was in Manhattan, New York where Tony lived for a time before coming to Los Santos.
He walks with a swagger and speaks with a gruff Italian-New York accent. He's a simple man who struggles with morality and hunger but has a bit of a dark side and a menacing laugh to match. He's a kleptomaniac and a compulsive liar, often rejecting reality and substituting his own. When Tony's not BSing his way through any situation he finds himself in, he'll talk to himself and try to make sense of the world around him, using introspection and dramatic monologuing to keep his cool. His biggest foe is himself and his own demons. His over-aggression, retaliation, panic and flight response to people looking at him funny, any mention of sharks, or sometimes even the sound of water often comes between him and his goals.
Tony's lifelong dream is to run the Pizza family mafia restaurant front with his family like his father before him- but unclear circumstances (gas station sushi) caused him to end up in Los Santos. He respects women despite calling strangers "sweetheart" and "darlin'", a combination of his mother and father respectively. He walks through town with the confidence that "cars should be careful of me on the road". Tony Pizza loves the vibe of Kitchen Nightmares and can do a pretty good British accent/impression of Gordon Ramsay. His favorite kind of pizza is a spicy with chili oil, chilis, pepperoni, and tender pulled pork. His self-proclaimed talents are: survival, stealing things, singing funny songs, impressions, and swamp god powers (marsh sinkholes).
==Arc 1 - Walkin' 'ere==
Tony's first goal was to get a job at the newscasting company with his first friend: Daryl. He met many interesting characters along the way but his main focus was getting a job(paycheck get!), a weapon(unsuccessful), and a good slice of pizza(so far only gas station slices). Not necessarily in that order. He takes interest in a man with a pumpkin for a head named Benjamin and gets sidetracked with bouts of panic and violence. The most extreme freak out resulting in his news van getting totaled.
Mr. Pizza's first incapacitation was due to a miscalculated parkour stunt while chasing someone who punched him. (Tony had punched him first) 
He met many hardships including complications from weak knees, unwise parkour impulsions, closed convenience stores, muscle spasms, and blatant assault that led to his arrest. Tony claims it was in self-defense, defending his honor and Pizza family name from someone who had the audacity to call him a "stinky knucklehead". This blunder landed him with a fine of $900 that put Tony sufficiently in debt.
After getting out of prison, Tony's objective was to again find a job, this time one more promising: Grouppe 6. As he rushes to the meeting, Tony fails a vault over a railing and hits his head. A good Samaritan named Caroline helped him out of a dark stairwell. He then settled for the job all the kids were doing: Grime delivery. He convinces a fellow deliveryman, Plank, to help him deliver Christmas Joy in the form of presents across the city as "one last big score". The day of deliveries gave him his first paycheck in Los Santos to work towards repaying the debt incurred from his detainment.
==Arc 2 - The Swamp King ==
After a lovely holiday back in Manhattan, Tony returns to Los Santos to seek out adventure and his fortune. He manages to convince a random pedestrian that he has a gun by holding his nonexistent holster and the man gives him $50. Enjoying the rush of crime, Tony decides to steal from an armored truck while the driver isn't looking and makes off with a duffel bag of money (though it is protected by glue bombs that would explode should he open it). 
Tony decides to be more social and introduce himself to a group of people and meets someone he calls Elvis who he will meet again later. He continues to trauma dump and hover around these people until two of them, a woman named Harper Bizarre and a man named Lord Flynn Earl Grey pick him up. They drive around town on a "ninja mission"(after being ambushed by a group of supposed ninjas) and stop by a clothes shop to don masks and boost their confidence. Tony picks out a horse mask and embraces his new persona, discovering he is good at making horse noises and cracking horse related jokes. They talk about rims and other such jobs, and a local legend: The Sewer King. This character is misunderstood by Tony as "the Swamp King"(due to Harper using Swamp instead of Sewer in their initial conversation), someone he claims to have history with dating back to the 80s. They supposedly met in the marshes of Florida where the Swamp King saved Tony's life. 
They venture into a storm drain where they intend to find the Swamp King. Tony shares an anecdote about an event that he witnessed, "The Pizza Festival", in 1973. (reminder that he was born in '85) In the sewer, Tony convinces Harper and Earl that to reach the Swamp King they must pass his tests, trials, and riddles. These are various absurdities that should you fail to solve them, you would be punished by a banana peel manifesting and causing you to slip and crack open your skull. The last trial is to chant Swamp King 71 times into the dank emptiness. The Swamp King then pulls the groups car down into The Marsh in a final test of faith. They are released from The Marsh and Tony reveals that he is the Swamp King. Harper and Earl immediately swear fealty to him. 
On a quest for grub, they stroll through the city and several altercations with civilians leaves the group with blood on their hands and many injuries. Tony as the Swamp King instructed both Harper and Earl to stab people to prove their loyalty resulting in 4 deaths. He is so convinced of his own acting as the Swamp King that he gives a few passerby Swamp Blessings. 
Near a Snr. Buns they encounter Elvis again who advertises a talent audition with Goldman Talent Agency where they can be recruited to make millions. They travel to an amphitheater where several people including Tony, Harper, and Earl present their talents and values to the agency. Elvis puts the idea of being in a movie into Tony's head and he is immediately interested. After Tony gives his speech he sits down and thinks about his situation. The loud music spooks him and sends him running into the hills where he realizes just how in over his head he is. "Four people are dead because I didn't know how to stop lying... and the only friends I've ever had only like me because they think I'm the Swamp King."
After gathering his resolve in the hills with a power squat, Tony returns to the amphitheater where he encounters the Glue Bandit who superglues Elvis' feet to the ground. They immediately get Elvis help then chase the Glue Bandit (following a trail of sticky white stuff) to Humane Labs & Research, a far away facility where suspicious activity takes place. The Glue Bandit manages to escape a rather large group of pursuers and Tony swears to catch him one day.
