Oliver Oxford

The slippery escape artist

## Background

Birth years (1-5): Born to parents who were well enough off that Oliver's father could afford to travel from location to location, Oliver got some private tutoring wherever his family set up in for however long the father would continue until the next project sent him out of country. This kept Oliver from making many friends around the same location as himself, but thanks to the magic of a wealthy father, Ollie got to spend time with maids and butlers.

Early Years (5-9): After some time of his schooling, Oliver appeared to be moving a bit more sluggishly and in pain. He had to be taken to see a doctor immediately, where it was discovered he had a degenerative disc disease. The doctor had to confine Oliver to a wheelchair to ease the pain on the poor lad. After that point, Oliver's father went to every expense to look for something that could fix Ollie up so he could walk normally again.

Xanair years (9-17): WIP, need to get some more info befoer finishing

## Personality

Because of his complacent view on death, Oliver is often described as a nihilist. Which could not be further from the truth. He is someone who enjoys life and looks for the brighter side in everything, though he understands just how rampant death can be since the ghoul outbreak (being one himself).

Whatever decision someone makes to exterminate a ghoul or eat a human, it's his personal philosophy that it is just what they are doing what they feel is right. And he is no different, trying to avoid combat or running from things of the like because he does not want to be a 'poor decision making monster' like the CCG or rampant ghouls.

Oliver has a dry sense of humor and a quick wit about him with a tongue of silver, which let's him talk his way around people very easily, getting him past checks to get what he wants (usually information to be used for later or sold to whoever wants it).

## Appearance

(Here you can provide written detail and extra illustrations on your character's appearance. Optionally so, if you're a ghoul: You can put a description of your kagune here.)

## Arsenal/Abilities

Arsenal

* Collapsing metal staff used as a cane or walking stick
* Wheelchair (occasionally)
* Gecko motif mask with two large eyes with warped vertical pupils like rectangles with curves at the tops and bottoms. As well as the silhouette of three geckos scurrying across the mask where the mouth and eyebrows would be.

Abilities

* Regenerative properties: Oliver's body, thanks to the xanair drug side effects, can heal much faster than a normal human, even growing sections of his kagune back after having pieces lopped off in some of his early year scuffles. This also helps his degenerative disc disorder that let's him get the use of his legs again. His healing properties are not on par with a rinkaku type, but are held in high regard compared to other bikaku types.
* Forward thinker: from the time he spent in a wheelchair growing up, Oliver didn't get much in the lines of athleticism (go figure) so he was one to play games either on a gaming device or board games like chess and shogi, which lead to Oliver's sense for planning things ahead
* Dirty fighter: Focused more on survival rather than winning a fight, Oliver is not above causing some mayhem and destruction to the surroundings to keep his blood where he likes it (inside his body)

## CCG notes

* Non-violent unless provoked or starving
* Hard to catch
* Wanted alive (reasons undisclosed)
