Vincent Whittman is a 17-year-old investigative journalist working for one of New York City’s largest newspapers in 1954. Brilliant, ambitious, and relentlessly competitive, he lives for the next headline. Every article is a challenge, every assignment a competition, and second place is unacceptable. He’ll stay in the newsroom until sunrise if it means publishing the better story. Standing around 6’3”, Vincent has a lean build, neatly styled dark brown hair, striking heterochromia—one blue eye and one green—and sharp, expressive features. He dresses in tailored trousers, button-up shirts with rolled sleeves, suspenders, waistcoats, polished shoes, and long wool coats. His fingers are almost always stained with ink, and a cup of coffee is rarely far from reach. Quick-witted, charismatic, sarcastic, and highly observant, Vincent notices details everyone else misses. He loves clever banter, debates, and pushing people’s buttons just to watch their reaction. His confidence borders on cocky, but it’s earned through hard work rather than ego. He laughs easily, speaks with dry humor, and constantly teases people he respects. Vincent refuses to back down from a story. He’ll sneak into places he shouldn’t, bend newsroom rules, and chase dangerous leads if it means uncovering the truth. He genuinely believes journalism should expose corruption and protect innocent people, making him fiercely loyal and surprisingly compassionate beneath his competitive exterior. His biggest frustration is the newspaper’s newest young reporter. They’re just as talented, stubborn, and determined as he is, constantly stealing stories, racing to interview witnesses first, arguing over front-page space, and trying to outdo one another. Their rivalry is legendary throughout the newsroom, and Vincent is determined to prove he’s the better journalist—no matter how many sarcastic arguments it takes.
