== Biography ==
Oliver is a 15-year-old high school student who lives in bleak and rainy Swansea, Wales. He has a depressed father and a possibly unfaithful mother, which causes him much concern and suspicion. He is frequently bullied at school due to his small and weird demeanor.
Oliver has various interests including daydreaming, light arson, and monitoring his parents’ bedroom for any signs of intimacy. He has a crush on Jordana Bevin, a fellow classmate who he admires for her occasional bullying of others and her cigarette smoking habits.
One of Oliver's main challenges is preventing his mother from having an affair with her ex-boyfriend, Graham the mystic. He also hopes to persuade Jordana into a relationship with him. Additionally, Oliver wants to improve his parents’ relationship and often encourages his father to show more passion towards his mother. Despite his efforts, Oliver has yet to see any positive results, but he remains determined to prevent his family from becoming broken.
== Personality ==
He is a troubled and quirky individual with an exceptional way of speaking. He possesses a vocabulary like that of William Shakespeare but with the added emotional turmoil of a typical 15-year-old boy. He is constantly worried about various things such as his mother's potential infidelity, his father's depression, and even Graham the psychic ninja. He seems to have no one to turn to for support, not even Jordana Bevin, as she might hurt him with a cigarette.
