## Abilities

Amazingly talented musician: he is a great bard who able to play many instruments well to inspire others.

Fey magic: he able to use elemental fey magic thanks to the help of fairies living in his guitar.

One face three people: due to his instability mentally he has two other personalities he calls his brothers who can take control of his body to do things he normally can't do whenever they want without oswald always being actively aware of this. They can take over his body whenever he sleeps and work until he wake up feeling fully rest despite whatever his body was doing without his knowledge.

Wolf blood: oswald is a werewolf due to circumstances and possible the influence of the cruse orb of eden he bound himself to on accident.

## Personality

Oswald suffer from sudden blackouts sometimes due to his brothers forcible taking control of him which is often signal by his eye going unfocused an his voice deepening suddenly if Larry take control or his eye go unfocused an his stance changing to be more straight and regal instead when Jim take control.

Whenever both brothers take control of Oswald at the same time his eyes go very unfocused that he almost look wasted and one eye changes color a bit to yellow as some of the wolf personality from his tainted blood slips in. To some extent Oswald is aware of this and can share his body with his brother at will as from his perspective he just getting normal help from his brothers and isn't aware of the changes to his body when Larry sings as to him he just see him singing next to him and because when it done willingly instead of by force he stay awake and aware of everything.

Oswald insanity extends to all of his senses but is under strict control by his brothers who can change what he thinks he see and hears on there own often to far enough to almost make him not hear something or notice something as a protective measure which is why he often claim in some cases to not hear something that everyone else can blatantly hear as if he half deaf.

Due to this insanity and some bits of chronic depression oswald suffer from but never been quite able to pin down he became a high functioning drunk to coup with his problems with the only time he doesn't drink until he nearly fully wasted is when he happy or angry which tends to feel rare to him at times. but even then he still drink just something more lighter and is most likely mostly juice with less alcohol in it.

He drinks heavy liquor when he feel like he going to hear something likely to piss him off in some way as this way kills both his nerves and his ability to care much are both dead.

Despite his depression and drunkenness he cares a lot about people and will do his best within reason of his abilities to help even put life on the line if he thinks he pull it off and escape with as little problems as possible. but the second he can see his death possible looming in the horizon or when his brothers tell him to stop he will turn tail and run while dragging as many lives as he can with him as he flees for dear life.

Possible due to heritage he can work while drunk almost as well as he does when sober except he more likely to sing and dance with a broom when hammer enough.

He likes to share drink with people as it make him feel less sad and lonely sometimes which always feel odd to him since his brothers are always there so he not quite sure why he feels lonely.

## Backstory

Oswald Jamal Lariodus the third was born as a half-elf in the imaginary realm and is the last surviving member of the Lariodus family who fallen apart over the years due to years of mental instability. Oswald father Jerman Lariodus in a attempt to save his son from the same insanity that he and the rest of the family suffer from took him from the realm and gave him to a old friend of his Mai from his adventuring days to raise in hope that growing up far away from his family and the imaginary realm would give him a more stable mind that less likely to self-destruct. he even request that his child never be told about his race or family beyond his name out of fear he might return to the imagination realm as he truly saw it as the source of several generations of insanity. This resulted in Oswald being raise believing he was completely human but this did not stop his insanity as when he turn five years old he met his 'brothers' one day while playing with wooden blocks. He spent much of his life once it was learn he inherent insanity under the care of very many doctors but no matter what medicine, potions, or magic use no one could cure him of his madness.

As Oswald grew older into his teen years he taken a love to history as his 'brothers' love it especially anything related to magic or the fey in nature and he love making them happy as it hard to find something they all like to do as Jim loves causing trouble too often while Larry tends to be boring in his opinion if not just a bit too pure for him to feel comfortable at times so to find a middle ground to grow close to them with was a rare boon he love as most kids found him too strange to hangout with and Mai was always working him so he always felt alone without his brother attention. Overtime though he grew to love music though as he love the way it can reach into a person soul and touch it in some ways and wanted to do the same thing himself bad enough to ask Mai for a guitar for his birthday. She crave him one out of a tree in the backyard and gave it to him on his birthday gift which he love to death and carry it everywhere as he practice night and day with it as his illness had advance enough for his brothers to use his body as he sleep and whenever Oswald was sleeping Larry was playing music and singing.

When he was old enough to leave home to try and make money and live on his own he became a bard as it was the first and only job he wanted in life and he manage to impress a bar owner well enough to get the job with ease with his skill on the guitar and Larry singing voice helping him. from there he plan to work his way into making enough money to go to college in hopes of getting a skill to get a good better paying job to fall back on should working as a bard prove to not be good enough. He study magic, history, and music but later also went back to learn medicine in hopes to get a doctor job as another good fall back plan but he never finish medical school as he kept missing the last exam due to money, work, and student debt that left him broke and desperate to find work enough to the point that he willingly let Jim take control in hopes of him helping to find a good job which led him to borrowing money from someone he doesn't remember and never paying it back which led to him running for his life from enforcers. One day though Jim did fix that problem unknown to Oswald as one night he stole a gun and put a bullet in someone head as they sleep and Oswald never knew it as he runs around carrying the murder weapon on him at all times. Later Larry got him a job as a bard again in another inn but he soon quite when he woke up in the middle of Jim stealing from his boss while no one was looking and out of fear he put the item back and willingly quite the job to join up with the house of fate guild as it a job he think might be something that Jim wouldn't find boring enough to cause mischief for no reason plus they're hiring and he couldn't be picky as he needs the money.
