He held a rare mix of intelligence and optimism, loving life and yet not being blind to it's many flaws. He tended to see the best in both people and circumstances; sometimes to the point of it being a flaw but he always insisted that an occasional let down was better than losing his faith in people. After everything went down Otto lost the vast majority of his optimism and confidence, often doubting himself and what little remains of his life. He is still intelligent but he now tends to use his smarts to see the bad in the world and in people. He still hasn't truly wrapped his head around everything that happened and has developed an unhealthy wall between himself and his positive traits. Along with that Otto seems to have Survivors Syndrome and a lot of the symptoms that come with it. Depression, Nightmares and mood swings; the latter being something that is somewhat alien to Otto. [b]Biography:[/b] Otto was born and raised in The City of Angels. He had a very average life, having two parents and three older siblings. His family was middle class; his father being a teacher and his mother being a lawyer. He had a decent upbringing for the most part but wasn't a big fan of school growing up. He always hated learning from one specific viewpoint; much preferring to learn via books and such he bought himself. He always got good grades and rarely got into trouble at school but he never really loved it, much preferring to spend all his time elsewhere. For a little while in his early teen years he was a bit of a vandal, developing a love for graffiti that lasted a couple of years. It gave him the freedom and expression he craved whilst also being a great outlet for his seemingly massive amounts of energy. It wasn't until he was sixteen that he found a more productive use of his energy in Krav Maga; a martial art he found through his girlfriend. It was pretty awesome; both learning the martial art and getting his ass kicked by his girlfriend every Wednesday and Saturday evening. Four years of lessons and love later and Otto had landed himself a job as a Martial Arts Instructor for teenagers. His parents had wanted him to go to college but he had refused point blank, the last thing he wanted was to get back into the schooling system right after getting out of it. He taught his class and began using the money to go on various trips. He enjoyed numerous skydiving and mountain climbing holidays with Abigail, his now girlfriend of four years. When the outbreak started Otto and Abigail were hiking in the hills outside of L.A. By the time they got back to the city it had turned to hell. Otto went home to find his family dead, his mother and sister had seemingly reanimated and been shot and killed by his father whom had then hung himself. It was a hellish sight. Otto had taken his Glock from him and finished the job, not being able to leave his father hanging and turned. They then met up with his Abigail's family and escaped the city. Unfortunately things happened and Abigail ended up getting bitten. It was only on the hand, but from what they had all seen that was enough. Abigail and her father both had begged and later forced Otto to leave them. As far as Otto knows they are both now dead or reanimated, something that gives him regular nightmares. Otto lived and continued on to the camp but only a shadow of his former self survived, every other part of him being suppressed by darkness and depression. [b]Job Before The Outbreak:[/b] Krav Maga Instructor [b]Disability/Fear:[/b] Otto fears getting close to anyone, obviously an effect of having lost everyone recently. He is filled with self hatred and doubt and is unsure of who he is, having a very different idea of himself now after the unfolding of recent events. His outgoingness and confidence have turned into occasional aggressiveness and cynicism. His bravery has turned into recklessness and he has began to feel numb; all contributing factors to what may get him killed.
