Ollie was born in 1999 in the Midwest. As a child, he was diagnosed with ADHD, which troubles him to this day. He was never an athletic child, preferring to stay indoors.

## Overview

He has brown fur with light brown fur on his chest, belly, and muzzle, and dark brown fur around his eyes and on his ears, forearms, hands, calves, feet, and in rings around his tail. He has brown eyes, which are shown as green in promotional materal. Ollie is of lean, lanky build, and stands at 6' tall and weighs 150 lbs. In certain promotional imagery, he also has short, brown hair and a long neck.

### Personality

Ollie is usually a talkative, cheerful guy. He is usually always leading conversations and making jokes. He also possesses a knack for sarcasm. Ollie is a generally friendly guy, and usually gets along with most people he meets. He also possesses a head full of dreams and a slightly bloated ego.

Ollie is a punk rocker. He had loved the music since he was young. His favorite station is Underground FM, but he listens to a lot of music, and likes most of the radio stations present. He also is slightly rebellious, and doesn't take many things seriously. He is also a kleptomaniac and has a slight interest in destruction.

Ollie is diagnosed with ADHD, which constantly interferes with his schoolwork. As a result, Ollie is shown to be off-task frequently, and holds rather low grades in most of his classes, something that does not seem to concern him. Despite this, Ollie holds an extraordinary memory. Intellectually, he is far beyond his classmates, but socially, not so much. Ollie is also known be unlucky in the series, which is ironic, considering his Irish heritage.

Although usually a nice guy on the surface, Ollie does possess a dark side. Ollie is deeply negative and cynical about many things in the world. One notable example is his cynical view of life and religion. Ollie sees life as a meaningless path to prove one's identity, and sees religion as an excuse to keep people from killing themselves. Despite being a liberal, Ollie also shows contempt for politics, viewing them as "a bunch of greedy, backstabbing, lying assholes". Ollie also holds a temper, and when provoked enough, can become a very violent and unlikeable person.
