Otis

### Info

The community Elder who mentors younger generations. One of the few people who went through the collapse of the civilized world and lived to tell the tale.

## Description

*A living legend. Otis remembers the world before the catastrophe and constantly reminds people around what it was like. Perhaps, due to that old man, the members of the commune know what humanity is and maintain discipline.

Youngsters feel awkward just when he’s looking at them. Although one might say why would they - he’s just an old man in a wheelchair, a fossil. However, the fire in his eyes speaks volumes.

And what was your first meeting with Otis like? Are you ready to set out for a brighter future together with the old-timers?*

- from the official LDOE Facebook post

Otis can be seen and is available to interact from Week 2 in the Commune. The player is introduced and tasked to partake in the Trial of Fortitude after meeting him for the first time.

*"Whatever my family says, the infected are the punishment of our sins"*

*"But mine are long paid for. Yet the number of those beasts isn't getting any smaller! That's why I've taken their extermination into my hands"*

Otis' reputation can only obtained by doing daily tasks from Carrie, Trial of Fortitude and bringing Emergency lamp, ATV Transmission, and Suitcase with values to him, with 50, 100, and 150 reputation, respectively.
