Name: Oliver Maxine Nickname: Oli, Olive, That crazy guy Age: 21 Gender: male Species: Human Ethnicity: Mixed Height: 5'6" Weight: 130lbs Orientation: Asexual Occupation: Zookeeper Play-by: PLAY-BY | |
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION He is thinly built, with an average height and not too much muscle on him beyond what's normal. His hair is a dark brown with fuchsia streaks in it that he got dyed himself. He usually wears clothes he doesn't mind getting dirty. A white tank-top and khakis. When it gets cold he usually switches to jeans and puts on a worn-out jacket. he also has a pair of gloves he ears around people, but leaves them behind when he goes off adventuring. | |
PERSONALITY A very cheerful guy, he is usually either apparently elated or nervous. Anger is not something he will usually ever experience. Very empathetic, he is very aware of how people around him feel and sometimes seems to disregard if it's a good feeling or not. He is quite friendly, but somehow still manages to live (mostly) alone and doesn't have too many (human) friends. | |
PERSONAL HISTORY Oliver was born as a Siamese twin in a pretty normal family with no real history of magic or powers or anything of the sort. Oliver seemed to exist to break that chain. Him and his twin were successfully separated at birth, but oddly seemed to reattach every one and a while, nearly giving their parents a heart attack. This happened often enough (which really was more than once) that Oliver's parents began to be scared of their own children, and namely Oliver when the other had complications and died shortly after it's first birthday. They believed that their children were cursed somehow and gave up Oliver for adoption in fear of him. Oliver was soon adopted by a Wildlife biologist, which exposed him to an immense amount of nature and wildlife in many different parts of the globe throughout his first ten years of life. Having Oliver along of trips, however, was an interesting way to grow up. He never really got to go to public school, but has a brilliant mind for biology and ecology. His adopted father became known for unusual stories of strange creatures he'd see on his adventures (Mostly those his son somehow brought in but he never mentioned that bit.). Very few people believed him at all. As Oliver got older, he would run off for the day and not get back till the next. No one was sure why, but when he did leave he seemed very determined to do something.Throughout his life he's been an independent guy who didn't usually have a peer group, so when his dad settled into one area Oliver was both restless and rather unusual for his age group, preferring to go out and about; but doing so alone. His affinity for life in general gave him a kind of 'hippie' feel to some, but to other's was seen as just plain eccentric. he's go on about 'soul mates' if you let him, but not always in the normal pertaining way. There was one incident where he was caught trying to get one fish in an aquarium into the starfish tank declaring that they were 'soul mates'. Oliver is no longer allowed in that aquarium. Oliver, having grown up, now has his own apartment, but has a habit of sleeping out in a tent for weeks on end in the summertime. He has a fascination with pets, and is the kind of guy who will try to pet every dog he sees in the dog park. Oliver has an inclination toward the live energy of living creatures, like their 'souls'. He can see them as what he describes as 'different colors'. He also has an odd ability to edit them. If you see a soul as a fire, imagine that Oliver is the guy who goes around snatching a bit of fire from one pit and some from another and putting them together in their own, new pit. This is How Oliver gets his pets. He will say that some creatures need to be together, and will be horridly persistent in doing so. This is why he wears his gloves, so that he doesn't accidentally touch someone and make some messed-up human hybrid. Not all of his experimental pets live for very long, and will time them to see which 'colors' match better. His most successful one is a penguin-octopus mix he named Lainie. He will loudly declare that He and Lainie are 'Soul mates', but he will never seem to explain why in a coherent manner. (He will ramble on about colors and get really babbly like an exited pre-teen girl) Oliver somehow managed to get a job at The local Zoo as an odd job-guy who mostly gets stuck cleaning up animal droppings. He doesn't mind, though. He gets to see plenty of animals there and is careful not have anyone see him trying to touch some of them. (Mostly) |
