## Description

> *"The world is truly a wonderful place!"* - Olif
>
>

Olif is a mage apprentice. This means he likely has a ways to go with his magical powers and has not yet reached a good enough value of his full potential to be considered just a mage which is backed up by the fact that Revis (his sister and the only other magic character we know of) could apparently easily take him down and back home if she wasn't distracted. This also means magic is a canon thing in the Super Bandit RIP world. Olif ran away from his home and mage family. The reason for this is unknown but he is a Zetoman fanatic so it at least makes sense why he went to New York City (the territory of said superhero).

Somehow he ran into a police officer/detective known as Dai and ended up working with him (though a bit too enthusiastically for Dai's liking as shown by his rejection of Olif's constant attempts to call themselves *"the Detective Duo"*) on the Nero case which attempts to find evidence to support Dai's theory that Nero and Freak are the same individual. It is unclear who Olif is staying with in New York but one could make an easy case for it being Dai all things considered.

Regardless of who is providing shelter for this young little wizard child, Olif goes to school in New York City now and he has become bullied. One potential source of this is a schoolkid named Pico who he meets at lunchtime. Olif is a Zetoman fan and Pico is not so there was no other option but war between Olif's friend group and Pico's friend group (potentially, we don't *really* know if Pico and his friends are the bullies mentioned in Olif's background). Now Olif must seemingly resist the urge to attack his bullies with *"magic retribution"* according to his in game background. Luckily he has a friend who can simply use physical retribution instead: a schoolgirl named Emy. She eventually slips into the older sister role for Olif and ends up protecting both him and inadvertently the bullies she defends him from (the average New Yorker child cannot take large amounts of magic fire and lightning. Hopefully the American health system covers them whenever Emy is off school).

## Moveset

### **Purple Fire**

**Purple Fire** is an ranged attack that can be performed by using W1. You can fire three purple fire attacks towards the cursor's position before recharging. The third attack is an extra big fire ball and will cause extra damage and extra knockback. This attack can be performed in air.

### Charge Strike

**Charge Strike** is a melee attack performed by using W1 while holding down. When used, Olif swings his wand in a small range.

### Purple Lighting

**Purple Lightning** is performed by using W2. When used, a lighting will strike at cursor's position.

**This attack can damage Olif.**

### Overcharge

**Overcharge** is an attack that can be performed by using W2 while holding down in mid-air. Olif will strike a lighting on the ground below him, dealing much more damage. The cooldown for W2 is longer after this attack.

## Trivia

* Olif would seem to be a main character according to the developer's Newgrounds account. This ties in nicely with him being one of the first two characters added.
* Olif's name from its English (British) origin is typically a girl/boy's name and means olive tree. Alternatively from an Anglo French origin it can mean cart or an African origin it means "For the Highest".
* Olif's staff ( in sprites) has a green crystal and shoots purple fireballs which are contrasting colours. However, his fan made arch mage skin (by Migeulillo) that can be found in game, his crystal is purple. This doesn't mean anything important yet.
* Speaking of his crystal, the colour fluctuates between artworks and materials: in profile artwork, it is light blue, while in sprites, it is bright green. However, the unofficial Archmage Olif skin (made by Migeulillo) rectifies the incongruence between the colours by making the crystal purple. This has yet to be significant.
