## Gang

Ozzy currently is not part of any gang, although he is something of an unofficial member of Percy's The Heartbreakers.

Ozzy was the co-founder of the Gator Shoez gang alongside Jackie. He formed the gang with her when he was just 4 years old. After years together, helping grow the gang's reputation from an oddball pair of petty thieves to a group of violent anarchists, Ozzy left the gang when he was 20, not long after he lost his legs during The Audit. He hasn't joined another gang since.

## Physical Description

Ozzy is above average height, at just over 6 feet, with good muscle tone. He frequently changes up the style of his black hair. His face always seems to feature some kind of scowl. Dark colors make up 95% of his wardrobe. He's rarely seen without a hoodie or jacket.

His most distinguishing feature is his robotic prosthetic legs. They start at mid-thigh and are made of a titanium-iron alloy and carbon fiber. Thick scar tissue lines the "ports" where flesh, muscle and nerves meet metal, hydraulics and wires.

## Relationships

**Jackie:** Ozzy's adoptive mother, and co-founder of Gator Shoez. Their relationship grew strained during his teenage years, then crumbled after the Audit. He abandoned her and the gang when she tried to get him to quit morphine. He's barely spoken to her since. He's come to regret how he's treated her, but he's too arrogant to admit she's right about him having a problem with pills. Her attempts to contact him have grown fewer and further between over time. But, she never fails to get him a birthday card on time every year.

**Bucket:** Bucket became interested in making prostheses for Ozzy when he came to her and Apollo's shop for supplies. As she's tinkered with his legs and pushed the bounds of what's possible, her and Ozzy have become close friends. Ozzy is eternally grateful to her for giving him his full mobility back, even if their little "haircuts in exchange for repairs" deal hasn't exactly been fair because of how freakishly fast and thick her and her brother's hair grows.

**Percy:** When the top pornographer in the Gray Zone came into Ozzy's salon with armed guards and "offered" to pay to use the shop for shoots, Ozzy never would have thought he'd want anything to do with Percy beyond knocking out his teeth. Payments in the form of hookers, coke and codeine have helped soothe the initial bad blood. Ozzy and Percy have since formed a friends with benefits relationship. He cares about Percy more than he'd ever admit, and not just because the pimp has become his primary drug supplier and his favorite person to do coke with.

**Apollo:** Ozzy has mixed feelings towards Apollo. He's jealous since Percy so obviously pines after Apollo. But, at the same time, Apollo is too nice a guy for Ozzy to be angry or upset with. Not even when Apollo's freak of nature hair destroys yet another pair of Ozzy's scissors or clippers.

**Orion:** Ozzy started hiring Orion to drive him around the Gray Zone when he was still wheelchair-bound. One day, when Orion was supposed to take Ozzy on a simple drive to the laundromat, Orion got caught up in a race and ended up on the opposite side of the Gray Zone in third place. Orion started apologizing profusely to Ozzy, but Ozzy told him to "stop being such a fucking pussy behind the wheel" and offered to teach Orion how to *really* drive. He's wrecked Orion's car only twice.

**Eileen:** Ozzy first met Eileen through her courier job, when she would deliver salon supplies and drugs to him. Through Percy, they've become good friends and drinking buddy. She even managed to get him to try out karaoke once. Alongside Bucket, she's one of the few person in the Gray Zone he fully lowers his guard down around. A big part of that comes from their mutual status as amputees.

**Aren:** Piece of shit rotting asshole dick-biting fuckface who scammed Ozzy out of drug money and ruined cherry flavoring forever for him. In a bizarre twist, Aren has been the primary reason Ozzy hasn't ended it all, for Ozzy has sworn he's not going out without beating Aren to death first.

**Sasha:** A consistent client for information, and a decent acquaintance. He's become something of a babysitter to her kid, Aika, though Sasha doesn't trust him to stay sober long enough to leave the little girl under his care for longer than an hour or two. It's a source of tension between them and the main driving force behind Ozzy trying to curb his daytime drug usage.

**Aika:** A fellow hell-raising orphan, growing up in the Gray Zone under the care of an adoptive mother. Ozzy sees a lot of himself in Aika. He wants to do right by her, though what that means exactly he doesn't know. He doesn't want her going down the path he did, but he knows she can't be a softie, either. While he tries to figure things out, he gives her free haircuts and amateur baseball lessons.

## Trivia

* Ozzy has some of the silkiest, softest hair in the Gray Zone.
* There's rumors that Ozzy uses human fat for his soaps. This isn't true. Not anymore, since it's become cheaper to use pig lard, instead.
* He smells like cigarettes and sandalwood.
* He's afraid of dogs.
