▄ ▄▄XXX · · · ·HIGH CONCEPT ░░
At first glance, Oliver looks one in the same with his twin brother Shiloh. They got the same face; he looks aloof and angry and aggressive. It’s a skin deep statement, because they’re actually quite opposite. Poised, perfected, punctual: That’s Ollie for you. He’s never late for an assignment, never slacks a step in his routine, and he’s a meticulous stickler for detail—he’s a pretentious goddamn hardass is what he is, and he's fine with the label. He's got no time for you if you're not going to take this s**t seriously, and let me tell you, everything is serious. In fact, he's going to take it so seriously that it'll basically be the gospel, so don't be surprised whenever he runs himself into the ground. He'll pick himself back up. Probably.
▄ ▄▄XXX · · · ·TROUBLE ░░
Smack dab in the center of Oliver, running vertical into the ground, is a fault line. No one knows when it’s going to go off, but damn if he isn’t due soon, because it’s been a while. Oliver lives the life of expectations; he has to be the best, nothing less. It isn’t some innate, ambitious desire, it’s because he made the mistake of setting those bars too high and now he’s scared to fall short of them.
His anxiety is a mess, and he actually is pretty damn aloof because he can’t slow down enough to have meaningful relationships, or because he judges others for "putting in half of his effort". It’s hard work all of the time, and he’s got no room for distractions. Problem is, despite how capable he might be, he’s ******** tired. His brother was his one line of support, but Oliver runs off to college and suddenly they lose contact. He comes back and finds out his twin can barely remember him? Bullshit, there's something going on here, and damn him if he won't find out what. Only thing is that his patience is an absolute time bomb, and he's running out of gas.
So he's moved back to Ashdown, but that comes with its own slew of issues. He's back to a life of expectations because he knows these people and they know him. Wanna know the funny thing about expectations? It's conformity. It's fitting the perfect mold, and he's gotta reach those heights, except?. Alright, well he’s mostly come to terms with his sexuality, because he’s tired of fighting it and his brother is Bi and nothing bad seems to happen to him, so ******** it, being gay is okay. But gender? It would be one thing if he felt strictly one way or the other, but that just doesn’t match. Hell, he feels like neither, and that’s absolutely ******** confusing and exhausting.
Oliver doesn't know who he is, and Shiloh literally doesn't know who he is. and he's back at square ******** one. Wonderful.

▄ ▄▄XXX · · · ·POWERS ░░
XXPILLS HERE ◦◦◦◦ dreamer power
XX◦◦ ⤿ Bottles, drawers, pockets… it’s all fair game when Oliver has a headache, because no matter the location, he can always find an ibuprofen when his head is hurting.
XXTASTE THE RAINBOW ◦◦◦◦ riser power
XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver's perception of magic has slowly shifted over time, and now it results in a variety of different (and often times overwhelming) assaults to his senses. Magic now manifests as "auras" to him (for lack of a better term), and the way he processes each individuals magic is as unique as their own fingerprint. Every castor has a different flavor/color/sound/texture to their magic, though never more than one specific stimuli. To that end, he has no control over how it's presented or interpreted by his five sense. Someone's magic might be describable "a bright sky blue" while someone else "smells like sharp brine" while someone else can be summed up simply as "rough, like sandpaper". Oliver cannot tell if a person is magical in nature at a glance; he can only perceive their magic as it's actively being cast. He cannot turn this ability off, much to the dismay of his already frequent migraines.
XXI'M GOIN' GHOST ◦◦◦◦ beyond power
XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver now, at will, has the ability to become ethereal. While like this he basically functions as your "average ghost"—he's somewhat transparent and has the ability to phase through otherwise solid objects as a result of being non-physical—but overuse can have a variety of negative effects on his body, such as temporarily losing the ability to become ethereal in general and/or moderate damage to his body as a result of his atoms getting all scrambled (nausea, spontaneous bleeding, fatigue, slower wound regeneration, ect.)
XXTRASH PANDA ◦◦◦◦ were power
XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver is now a full fledged were, and this means he now has access to everything your typical run of the mill moonwalker does! His apparent animal-side is the raccoon, and his half shifted form affords him heightened senses, furrier parts, and a little extra sneak in his step. Of course, he still has to deal with being an actual raccoon once a month, but it isn't so bad.
XXRACCOON MOSH ◦◦◦◦ riser were bonus
XX◦◦ ⤿ Raccoons now recognize Oliver as kin. It doesn't really bother his activities much, sans for when they show up at his doorstep in the middle of the night begging for food.
XXTHESE SENSITIVE HANDS ◦◦◦◦ beyond were bonus
XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver now has the sensory advantages (and disadvantages) of his particular were-side at all times, no matter how far out the full moon is or which side of the divide between worlds he is on.
XXWARD OFF THOSE BAD FEELS ◦◦◦◦ bonus power
XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver has a basic understanding of wardwork and can now construct simple, three symbol wards. Each ward can only service one effect and must be periodically refreshed to maintain usefulness.
XXREANIMATED ◦◦◦◦ bonus power
XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver can reanimate deceased mundane creatures. This isn't the same as bringing them back to physical life, as their bodies will still continue to rot until they're essentially magic skeletons with their souls attached to a frame. That being said, the initial casting is the most strenuous part, and as such Oliver can't revive multiple creatures at once without significant strain on himself. Size also has a bearing, so while you won't be seeing any undead horses galloping around, you can bet Other Ashdown is about to get an large influx of skeleton cats.
XXSNEAKY SNEAK ◦◦◦◦ meta 4 consequence
XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver will find that he can now spot pathways into Other Ashdown at will--and that magical beings tend not to notice him unless he wants to be noticed.
XXALL-SEEING ◦◦◦◦ Chel mini-plot bonus
XX◦◦ ⤿ While carrying one of All-Seeing's eyes, your own eyesight is a bit better than average and can see further than a normal human's could. Shiloh was in possession of such an eye and gave it to Oliver for safe keeping.
XXGLOSSY ◦◦◦◦ 2k16 valentines bonus power
XX◦◦ ⤿ Never will you have to worry about chapped lips ever again! Your lips are always perfectly moist and at peak kissing condition.
XXDEATHSPEAKER ◦◦◦◦ Ezra's Rage
XX◦◦ ⤿ Ollie is aware of deaths around him, from little bugs up to megafauna. Should a human being be dying within twenty feet of him, he may choose to intercede with their "death" and prevent it, creating an "undeath bond". Quote Shibe should you wish to use this power.
XXBLOODBINDER ◦◦◦◦ Magic effect
XX◦◦ ⤿ Ollie is currently blood bound to Horace Nokoni through use of his power, and Elliot Labelle by proxy, giving him access to all of their powers sans those specified by a specific class (which I'll add later, so lazy...)

▄ ▄▄XXX · · · ·RELATIONSHIPS ░░
▶ ▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ like ▶ ▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ dislike
XXChai
▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver's sweet darling princess. The light of his life. The stars to his moon. The most perfect kitten that anyone could have ever asked for. She rolls on her back and you can pet her stomach and it isn't a trap. God bless America.
XXNosey
▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ XX◦◦ ⤿ Also a princess? Maybe more like the joker in cat-court, because she's sort of a ditz, but she's like the cutest ditz okay
XXShiloh Beaumont
▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ XX◦◦ ⤿ Oliver's twin, who despite what he says, is literally only like ten minutes older than him. Still, he loves his brother a lot and won't take your s**t if you mess with him. He won't punch you or anything if you do; Ollie's more of the clever revenge type. What goes around will sure as ******** come around if you so much as lay a hand on this guy.
XXElliot Labelle
▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ It was a little rocky, but Ollie fees a lot better after coming clean about the void incident. The 'this-Elliot' is a lot more of a sweetheart, and he's so much more considerate, and they actually have a chance to have a functional friendship, and...
XXJamie Delacroix
▶ ▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ A good friend. Ollie likes Jamie a lot, considers him his weird animal half brother, and wouldn't mind going out of his way for him.
XXNasir Vasile
▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ Resident flying squirrel-warg, Ollie appreciates a lot of what Nasir does for him. He's a good cook, he's kind, he's got compassion (maybe too much compassion); that sort of over extending is what causes people to snap, and it's a little worrisome...
XXEve Fitzpatrick
▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ Owns Equinox, one of Oliver's favorite tea joints. He's very concerned about her lack of powers, but it doesn't make him think any less of her, especially as far as considering her a pack-mom goes. He hasn't checked on her in a while with all the charter stuff going on...
XXSidney Concord
▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ His boss at the 4th wall. Ollie has come to expect many things from Cid, but he's still vaguely concerned about him. He does watch his kid sometimes; the extra money is nice.
XXHorace Nokoni
▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ XXShun Kuroda
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ Detective in the Ashdown Police Department. Serious, takes his job seriously, was willing to answer his questions, not a bad guy all around.
XXPreacher Maria
▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ She punched him in the face for being a moonwalker. Someone to stay clear of, someone to watch out for; mostly he just wonders why.
XXJeremiah Mercer
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ HE INSINUATED I WAS A TRASH VERMIN. HE ALSO PROBABLY CURSED ME!
XXAbigail Belmont
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ Local wildlife person that you call when the wildlife is no longer in the wilderness. Ollie supposes he's glad she catches and releases.
XXCassandra Youttz
▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ And thus, one moonlight night, did the fair maiden descend from the stairway from heaven to bestow the lowly coon-boy with a gift from the gods. Thus the curse was broken, and the prince returned to his human form, only to be assaulted by the wicked roomba of the west. It was definitely a time to be alive; Ollie supposes he's thankful Cass wasn't weird about it. Also he considers her a friend, and she's a coworker, so there's that...
XXChester Poole
▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ One man's trash is another man's treasure, or in this instance, the man is the trash and he's going through the trash and gets discovered by someone else who is also trash. Oliver considers Chester a friend; not only that, but Chester is a smart friend, and that makes it even better.
XXAshton Carver
▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ A fellow moonwalker, and one he met during the full moon. Ashton seemed shy and tired (mostly tired), which Ollie can sympathize with. Didn't seem like a bad person...
XXAodhan Beverly
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ An acquaintance of Shiloh's; he makes very pretty jewelry and accessories. Ollie can't say he's disappointing about his work. Would recommend.
XXZachary Bantok
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ Meeeeeeeting
▄ ▄▄XXX · · · · NPCS RELATIONSHIPS
XXGloom
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ THAT'S MY RAISE YOU PUNK!!! Okay, maybe not. Ollie was mostly startled. Gloom isn't really that bad.
XXEzra Fitzpatrick
▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ What the ******** style="font-size: 10px">XXRenard Leroux
▶ ▶ ▶ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ A mentor to Ollie, he greatly respects Renard and his work, and he's immensely grateful to have the opportunity to learn about his abilities from a knowledgeable source. It makes the whole magic thing a lot easier to swallow...
XXSilk
▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ ▷ XX◦◦ ⤿ A fetch. A very important fetch. At least as far as Ollie can tell.
