Owsley Charlemagne

Owsley Charlemagne is a main character from Silver Soul, he is the healer of the group and is great friends with Julien Cabrel.

### **Physical Description**

Charlemagne is a very large man with purple, messy hair. He wears a beige bucket hat and is often seen wearing a dark-green coat with lighter green strokes along the shoulders and arms of the coat. Charlemagne also generally wears grey pants and leather shoes.

### **Personality**

Prior to a certain event, Owsley was a very bright, young and compassionate boy. However after his incident with Katy Becker, he seems to be very jaded and tired of most people, becoming irritated very quickly. An interesting quirk to him is that his personality shifts quickly to an unusual mature yet soft tone whenever something or someone reminds him of his former lover.

### **History**

Owsley Charlemagne (usually just called Charlemagne) is a former botanist in his teens that helped his single mother around their small down-to-earth flower shop. They made a steady income, and while not incredibly rich, both he and his mother loved their profession, and according to his mother, his father wanted him to become a botanist before he passed away (the reason for the fathers never truly explained, although its implied that it was cancer or some sort of fatal illness) and that he would be proud of him. One day, he introduced his mother to a girl that he had started dating, a Katy W. Becker. This woman is of a tall slim appearance, who had a hat that was similar to Jolene's but not as long, and she wore a dress that Charlemagne personally loved to see and was something that he always rambled about to his mother. His mother of course, was happy that her son finally brought home a cute girl.

This happy lifestyle changed when, almost seemingly out of nowhere, Charlemagne woke up one day to find that his mother had been murdered and the sound of police cars outside his door. His girlfriend had murdered his mother and had framed it on him. He was wrongly found guilty and spent 10 years in jail. Once he finally was released from the slammer, he came back to find the area near his hometown had been overrun by gangs and a very prominent drug problem with the younger generation. Seeing how much happened while he was gone and becoming a changed man through his life in prison, decided to take advantage of the situation and fulfil the craving for drugs that his community desired. Through his new shady life, he awakened his stand, which allowed him to create stronger, more addictive drugs which he sold to create even more profit.

One day, Charlegmane was going through with his business as usual, when a gang member broke down his door. The man screamed about how Charlegmane was ruining his gangs profits, and pulled out a gun, threatening to shoot unless he pays for the lost money. In response, Owsley picked up a joint and began to smoke it, leaving the man staring at him in bewilderment. Unbeknownst to the man, Owsley was preparing to kill him, using a drug powerful enough for him to dissociate so he wouldn't have to think about it. Charlegmane prepared the plants all around the store, having them grow their thorns larger and more prominent, their tips developed a poison, ready to kill the man. Before he could go through with it, Julien Cabrel burst through the front door, where he knocked out Charlegmane and the gangster.

When Charlegmane woke up, he found himself in the care of Julien, asking what had happened, Julien revealed he too had a stand, and he saw everything that happened inside. He claimed that after the journey he's been through, he could see in Owsley's eyes that he hadn't killed before, and he didn't want him to start now. Julien's words woke Charlegmane up to his actions, making him realise the extent of what he was going to do, reminding him of Katy. As Julien prepared to leave with the knocked out man, Charlegmane insisted on following Julien, claiming that his words hit him deep in his heart, and making him want to reform. Knowing that Julien was on a journey, he would stop at nothing to help the stranger who saved him. Julien agrees after some convincing, and Charlegmane joins the Soul Searchers.

### **Stand**

Rose Darling is a humanoid stand with an insectoid head and long green robe that goes down to its ankles, underneath the robe is a dress resembling Katy's dress that Charlemagne loved. Rose Darling only ability is to manipulate plants in several ways such as growth, strength, species and effects upon consumption, these effects vary from poisoning to increased regenerative capabilities and speed of the human body. To activate this ability Charlemagne has to be close to a plant, Rose Darling can only manipulate plants, not make them, so this ability is largely useless in areas like deserts and metropolitan cities, which is why Charlemagne usually carries a plant that he shows a great deal of care for with him.
