[color=ed1c24][b][u]In Depth Appearance:[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Otis stands at a rather short 5 foot 7 and has a skinny physique with only the slightest trace of muscle being noticeable on his arms. His curly hair is kept moderately long and is a dirty blond shade. However, his hair is almost always hidden by some sort of cap, and most people often never get to see the very top of his head. Some theorize he may be bald, others just think he likes hats. He is usually clean shaven, but once grew a moustache that he thought was 'killer'. His eyes are an ordinary brown, almost matching with the hue of his hair. His most notable feature is his gap tooth, which lies directly in the middle of his upper teeth. He often likes to brag that he can fit a cigarette in the gap, although he does need to compress the cigarette before he is actually able to.[/indent][center][h1][color=ed1c24][u]M Y  Q U I R K S[/u][/color][/h1][/center]

[color=ed1c24][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color]
[center][u]♦ Optimistic ♦ Self-depreciative ♦ Loyal ♦ Foolhardy ♦[/u][/center]
[indent]Otis is about as laid back as it gets. He often falls asleep in his classes and let's just say the last time he handed in homework, Caeser was still in power. Nevertheless, he will make an effort on certain things, specifically things relating to his mother or his friends. If a friend is in need, you can bet on, Otis to be there to lend a helping hand, whether it be in the form of manual labour or even his own money. One would expect, Otis to be rather stoic due to his laziness, however he is quite the opposite. Otis is almost always optimistic about everything. 

However, with his optimism comes a more negative trait of his. He is confident, but to the point of stupidity. If you tried to sell him a stick of gum, and told him it was a new energy bar, then you can consider yourself one sale up. He almost never turns down anything and can often find himself in numerous bad situations because of this. Along with this, he believes himself to be much worse than he is in most areas. While some may call this modest, Otis' view of himself extends far beyond that. He is convinced that he is, in fact, an idiot, no matter what people tell him.

[color=ed1c24][b][u]History:[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Otis was born in Louisiana, to a loving mother and a father who walked out on the family the minute, Otis was born. He grew up poor, his mother worked at a local pawn shop which earned her barely enough money to see herself through the month, let alone herself and her son. Nevertheless, he considers his early life to be the best part of his life. It was filled with fun and adventure, instead of being cooped up inside playing video games and watching TV, Otis had to resort to making his own fun. He would often go out and catch bugs, or ride his bike around the forest back trails. But the one thing that really made a difference in his life was when he learned how to play the guitar. 

After, Otis' grandmother died, his grandfather had begun living with, Otis and his mother. With him he brought his guitar and began teaching, Otis how to play. Otis was a natural with the guitar and his grandfather was a major part in the formation of his music style. He practically forced, Otis to listen to musicians like Johnny Cash and Ray Charles. This was where his nickname came from. Otis always hated his birth name and began referring to himself as, Otis after listening to a certain singer by the same name.

Life continued as normal and, Otis was quite content with his humble life up until he turned 14 or so. This was when his mother met the man who was soon to be, Otis' step father. They met at her place of work and, as it turned out, he had taken a liking to her. He was some businessman from up north who was visiting Louisiana on a business trip. The two kept in regular contact and he often travelled down to meet her whenever he could.

As much as Otis tried to like him for his mothers sake, he just couldn't. There was something about the way he carried himself that just ticked, Otis off. Nevertheless, he was happy when the two decided to get married, although he was less happy when he found out he would have to move up north to accommodate for his new step-father's job. He hated it up north. Everyone was so well-spoken and well-dressed it just made him feel out of place. It didn't help that people kept commenting on his accent to the point where it just became a chore to speak to those people.

Life was rather depressing for Otis at that point. But that was before he met his group of friends and before the birth of his sister. His sister was born in the same year that they moved up north, and brightened up, Otis' life a hell of a lot. It was also the reason that he became more laid back than he did lazy. He had to make the extra effort for his little sister. 

It's been a few years since his sister's birth, and he has not became any less laid back. He has no idea what he wants to do with his life and keeps living life in the moment.[/indent] [hr][center][h1][color=ed1c24][u]M I S C .[/u][/color][/h1][/center]
