Characters/Oliver McQueen

## About

Oliver McQueen was born in America into a very famous and rich family, the McQueens. At the age of 20, Oliver was reported dead, along with his father and the love of his life. After spending a few years on an island being trained by Dexter Moser in the art of Marksmanship, Oliver traveled to Panau to fulfill his father's dying wishes: to infiltrate and destroy ██████████.

Oliver is quite a goofy fellow. Aside from being second in command of ███████, Oliver is usually never serious and always tries to be cheerful. When he first came to Panau, Oliver knew nothing. He did not know much about the factions, aside from the fact that Panau was basically broken into four major groups that were constantly at war. Using his people skills, Oliver discovered that the Enforcers would be the place to start off for him.

## Enforcers

After receiving a very militaristic Basic Training from a stereotypical yelling Sergeant, Oliver decided to pick up a sniper rifle to go on missions. Impressing a few Majors, Oliver was recommended to try out the Marksman role, and so he did. Once he got wind about a possible position in the PBI, Oliver decided to quit the Enforcers and join the Government, even after getting his second stripe.

## Peacekeepers

Once he joined the Government, Oliver applied and interviewed for the Agent position in the PBI. After three failed interviews, which were clearly rigged by the Director at the time, Oliver was told to either join the Enforcers or the Peacekeepers for additional combat experience. The Enforcers were behind him, so Oliver decided to try for the Peacekeepers. With the help from his late best friend Rut Jole, a Unit Chief of the Peacekeepers, Oliver flew past the interview and became a Peacekeeper. Chief Satomi Enju always kept a close eye on Oliver, since ex-Peacekeeper Joseph Mc always claimed that Oliver was a spy, despite any formidable evidence.

During his times as a Peacekeepers, Oliver met and interacted with many rebels from the different factions. Some were nice to him, whilst others were more of a "shoot first, answer questions later" type. A few notable rebels Oliver became friends with were Jenova Thrace, Jun Loo, Michael Baker, Adrian Yootz, and Henry Squid. Sarah Michaels, another Peacekeeper, and Oliver became good friends and even almost got in a relationship. Sarah always had Oliver's back, and never doubted his loyalty.

One time after a typical bank robbery, Oliver and Sarah, with the help of Iris Michaels (daughter of Sarah and Rut Jole), apprehended Adrian Yootz. After Sarah and Iris took Adrian to the Peacekeeper Headquarters, Oliver came there and asked Sarah and Iris to leave, giving the excuse that he would take the first shift of watching Adrian while they waited on Chief Enju. Iris had left, but little to his knowledge, Sarah had stayed behind. After asking Adrian about ██████████ and how to get in it, Sarah called for Enforcer backup and attempted to arrest Oliver. Oliver eventually escaped with Adrian, but with a stab wound in his right side. Eventually making his way to Reaper Headquarters, Oliver was greeted by an angry Jess Rabbit and a compassionate Jun Loo, who with the help of Akeno Gremory, healed Oliver's wounds.

Sarah Michaels quickly made up a report about Oliver's betrayal to the Government, and Chief Enju terminated Oliver's contract with the Government.

## On The Run

Sarah and Chief Enju were immensely upset with Oliver, and even decided to put a "Dead or Alive" bounty on Oliver's head after his termination. With the help of Rut and a few rebels, Oliver was able to escape Peacekeeper grasp every single time. During this time, Oliver was recruited into ███████, a very secretive and highly dangerous group. He moved up their ranks and was trusted with some valuable information. Finally after getting some answers about ██████████, Oliver decided that it was time for him to pick a faction, and so he did.

## Reapers

Oliver joined the Reapers primarily because of Jenova and Jun, who had been friendly and helpful during his time in need. After joining the Reaper cause, which was indeed a just one, Oliver once again picked up a sniper rifle and moved up through the Sniper role. During this time, Oliver was able to get lots of information and make even more friends.

Ironically during a bank robbery, Oliver met Peacekeeper Julietta Rogers and pretty much fell in love. Julie and Oliver became close, or so it seemed to Oliver. Oliver used to tell Julie everything, and really felt safe doing so. Little did Oliver know, Julie was feeding all this information to James Roth Solomon, the Roach Boss and more importantly, leader of the so called "Law". Once Solomon had enough intel from Julie and Oliver, he decided to leak a list full of the intel. Oliver knew that Julie was not in the PBI anymore, but was blinded by his likeness for her to see that she had completely betrayed him.

Allie Anarchy, from the Roaches, then met with Oliver one random evening. Eventually, Oliver saw the resemblance between Allie and Julie, and realized that they were indeed the same person. After handing him the same gun that she had shot Oliver with, Allie told him that if he wanted to, he could kill her. Angered and saddened, Oliver decided to spare her life, since he had one strong belief: there is always another way. Oliver did not like to kill, and believed that there was always a way besides taking a life.

Secretly though, Oliver has taken a life. Oliver assassinated ex-President Niels Black, who had gone insane after being poisoned by the Neurotoxin in his wine bottle. Even though he hated doing it, Oliver did not have a choice.

Eventually, Oliver became Commander... twice. When he was off duty, he would pursue destroying ██████████ through whatever means necessary. Unfortunately for him, the PBC somehow obtained the not-so-secret top-secret files Oliver sent to █████ ████ and ██████ █████, which can be seen here in the PBC: Queen of McQueens broadcast. Despite his past with her, Oliver decided to reach out to Allie. After talking with her about his current situation, she gave him an idea; a plan that, if successfully executed, would give Oliver the answer to who leaked his files. Unfortunately like always, things did not go according to Oliver's plans. Maxwell Faulkner, along with a fellow Reaper, held Oliver at gunpoint. Eventually though, Oliver talked his way out of the hostile situation and pieced together the answer he was looking for. After spying on Mr. Faulkner at the Opening Event for the Aviation Association with the help of his girlfriend, Oliver finally attained the intel he needed.

After finding out his answers, Oliver had to take a leave-of-absence, albeit unannounced. After leaving Panau for a few months to go on a personal journey, Oliver returned. At PIA, he was greeted by an old friend. Once he took off in a pell he stole from a Peacekeeper, the Panau night sky was lit with a large explosion, west of PIA. News reporters at PIA caught the footage on live television, and authorities looked for anyone who was caught in the explosion but found no bodies. Through flashbacks of his past and memories of his wife, Oliver found the will to survive once again. To his luck, Oliver gets kidnapped by a fearsome leader and is forced to make a choice, one that might result in his end.

A few days later, Oliver finally turned up to Reaper HQ, not speaking about what had transpired in the past few days. After having thought about the bigger picture and despite the great Reaper Commander Bolo Santosi's threats, Oliver continued to stay in Panau to fulfill his ultimate mission - to destroy Deathwatch once and for all, using any means necessary. Fortunately for him, and with the help of many people and organizations, SPECTRE defeated Deathwatch and ended Carthik's tyranny.

## A Just Cause

Just as Oliver thought he could celebrate, he notices a note written in Reaper-red blood, pinned on his desk with a knife. The note threatened Oliver and the danger he was calling on all his friends and his wife. Upon tearing the note up, Oliver decided it was time. After coming up with a solid plan, Oliver reminisces about his time on Panau. Once his contacts reach him, Oliver decides to assemble the Avengers along with a few other people he trusted, and shows them his foolproof plan. To his surprise, most of them declare Oliver to be insane for trying to pull off such a risky stunt. Saddened, Oliver heads to his office and luckily remembers Geoff's gift.

He opens the box and finds a picture of his old Commander, Billie West. With the help of an old friend, Oliver decides to assemble a ragtag team of operatives to bring Billie West back to Panau. Consisting of some of the most deadliest and highly trained men on Panau, The Renegades leave for Medici in hopes of rescuing Billie West. Greeted with heavy artillery fire, The Renegades infiltrate Medici and begin Operation Save The West. Having faced off against the legend Rico Rodriguez himself and barely escaping with his life, Oliver and his team return to Panau, surprisingly with Jane's twin sister, Bethany Smithers.

Although everything seems well, an uprising caused by Oliver's greatest enemy brews. Through the use of his knowledge about Oliver, great manipulative skills, and influence within the intelligence community, Edward Nytes partners up with the PBI to destroy Oliver's life.

Essentially being cornered from extreme choices, Oliver takes the fall so no-one else has to die. Having a flair for the dramatic and having decided to deal with Nytes later, Oliver faked his death in front of Edward Nytes, as well as Izzy and other important figures. With the help of his close friends, Oliver dons the hood and becomes The Arrow, leaving Panau to finish off Bolo Santosi once and for all.

A month later, an old friend of Oliver's brings a puzzling letter, addressed by Oliver to Commander Jane, as a sort of goodbye. Within the note was a coded message, directed towards Commander Jane for deciphering.
