This means that in certain occassions, such as another member is creating a case for the group, they may have brief control of Oliver's presence. Otherwise the character is directly controlled by myself.[/color][/center] [center][img]https://image.ibb.co/gB5wNo/OliverC.jpg[/img][/center] Age: 25 Alias: Don’t be silly, I am no superhero and I don’t see the reason why SYNBAD relies on these silly little names when they’ve been on the news and anyone with the right connections and know how would be able to figure it out. - Little does he know the department has a nickname for him as Crow’s Eye. Tier: 3 Years in SYNBAD: 4 - Extra notation here, Oliver is rarely with the group SYNBAD his day job is within the police department itself. He is often more around during cases, though he visits on his off time -if any- from time to time to have a semblance of comradery. He may even invite those over to go fishing with him or something like that. Oliver’s main employment is within the judicial department itself, indirectly he’s part of an internal SYNBAD department, which means he deals with SYNBAD more directly when it comes to the unexplained and bizarre. Lighting a fag, he slowly inhales, then exhales. It’s like a moment in one of those crime detective movies, as to individuals stare each other down in the middle of the night. Though staring down may have not been the keyword in this case, as you stood a foot above him, towering over the wiry framed, 5’4”, 162cm, man. He looked more like a child than he did a medical examiner in the police force, comically large, but fashionable sunglasses shading his gray colored irises, with a thrifty looking suit, often navy in color or black. [center][img]https://image.ibb.co/cEWxTT/OliverC2.jpg[/img][/center] Tweed ties, which should forgo any semblance that he has a fashion sense, yet it is often paired with either a knee length trench coat or a fur coat. A young and youthful face gives off the impression of someone much younger in their mid teens or late teens, not a man in his mid twenties. Often wearing comfortable loafers, in different fashionable styles, some wonder why such the dramatics for one little tiny framed medical examiner, few would know. The faintest smell of nicotine off this small 115lbs, 52kg, man isn’t a deterrent when it’s mixed with his vanilla scented lotion. “Sorry I am nothing special, I just look ordinary, no unicorns here,” he laughs, yet he has a flat, single note tone to his voice. Though the cadence is raspy like an occasional smoker, despite its coarseness it’s a least lithe and easy to listen to. Personality: He’s not incapable, it’s clear that Oliver is adaptable for the most part, and smart. While he may not be a prodigy or a genius, it’s pretty clear Oliver can work around a problem with relative ease. To others he can be genuinely funny, though he is more likely to throw sweet flavored shade your way. A smile can cover up a lot of words, while he may cover up that he’s poking at you with a smile, it veils biting internal commentary. That he strongly filters, in order to be better palpable to others. The conflict of fitting into the expected norms of a community and what he’d really like to say. Oliver often feels pressured into behaving as society expects him to behave. He over worries and over stresses about fitting into the expected norm set for him. He recognizes that on the surface he looks human and to others that mean there isn’t anything particular abnormal about him. Though akins the parts of himself he cannot relate to others as some kind of invisible aspect of himself that makes it difficult for him to relate to others well. He relates a story where he heard or resonated with a cats presence before it passed to convey a message to his girlfriend, to be confronted about it weeks later as something abnormal. A lot of things Oliver is veiled about. While on the surface he seems nonchalantly to roll with the punches, he holds a lot of internal anger. But not enough motivation to verbalize this anger. It’s a lukewarm don’t care to care kind of attitude. Though it’s less like having no reaction, more like a lack of motivation to verbalize anything. This veiling personality leaves a very externally positive, happy go lucky person, with the flair for the dramatic. Wearing clothes that otherwise wouldn’t be associated with his occupation, or placing glitter bottles or confetti in his pocket in order to provide his own glamor. Though internally is a very angry person, who own anger leaves him overwhelmed and drained that he has no motivations to do anything about it, someone who is always at the edge of losing it. Skills: M.D. Bachelor Degree - Though unlike Foster/Harper, Oliver is a medical examiner. Someone who uses his degree to determine the cause of suspicious and violent deaths. His studies include forensic pathology and ways to diagnostically examine a body in order to determine time of death, with what, how, and observe details around the corpse. Observational - Oliver’s job is literally picking up on details others haven’t picked up on yet. His whole entire training has him scanning the world around him. Police Training - Since his day job is technically in the police department, he also has police training. Minor defense training, how to deescalate a situation, how to report a crime, and things such as that. Good Fashion Sense - You probably aren’t convinced that this is a skill, but pretend you have 14 pounds in your pocket, but need a good suit for a formal evening. You’re not thinking of the possibilities and endless combinations you could create with rather inexpensive clothing that looks like you copied it straight out of the latest fashion magazines. The trick is having a good eye. Hobbies: Zoning Out - Sometimes Oliver’s days are long and some of the things he sees defy human expectations. It questions sometimes his belief or faith entirely in humanity when he is faced with its evil. He enjoys spending time alone by himself zoning out to music, any genre of music will suit him. Usually if it has a good beat and he can chill. Fishing - Then there are days when you need to get out of town. Take a trip to the lake, sit out in a boat, and forget that people exist and the world sucks. We live in a world these days that when we get out of nature we forget this little on spot is just the last remnants of a much bigger place we overtook. But he’ll look past that and try to live in the ignorance that this is a natural getaway. Origami - There’s so many things you can do with a piece of paper. Especially when you’re bored sitting at the office with nothing to do. A cootie catcher that when you open the flaps spells FUCK U, you betcha. A swan, typical, but yes. A frog, yep.

Equipment: Several utilities for writing, a journal for note taking, some glitter for dramatic flair often in a bottle Fighting Style: Defensive non specified martial arts, in police training your taught a bit how to fight for self defense purposes. Though your main tool will always be your words. Oliver being tiny and short, and not always the average size of some men uses a non specific martial arts style taught to him by his police training course that uses soft martial arts techniques to use his enemies movements against themselves. All injury is then directed to self than from direct contact with Oliver. Strength: Besides the amount of police training Oliver has had, he’s not the strongest individual of the bunch. He’s not going to be going into lengthy punch out battles with some dude with super strength. Oliver not a fan of pain much either and doesn’t have the best defense when it comes to taking hits, he’s lean, and thin. Even a tight hug could accidentally displace a rib. Endurance: It’s not quite to superhuman levels, it’s a little bit better than most people’s. At the level of human in their prime level of fitness. He does go for morning jogs and while sure he’s not going to be taken punches very well, he can keep up with the best of them, if only it is to dodge an attack he’ll otherwise use to take advantage to trip up the next guy. He’ll eventually tire, just not as quickly, and is a wuss when it comes to particularly painful injuries. Willpower: This is where things get complicated for Oliver. He’s spent most of his life being passed off to shrink after shrink, since his parents were concerned about the use of his abilities. They likened him to a psychopath or a serial killer. He was always in trouble for his powers, or the things he’d done to his dead pets. One time he exploded the hamster in the tub to pass on a final message. Because of this, Oliver is actually quite feeble minded. He’s concerned about his placed in the world, even if he passes it off as veiled optimism and a happy attitude. He easily falls apart at the realization that he’s not meeting society's expectations. And furthermore is either constantly overwhelmed with his own inner demons. Oliver is overly stressed and feels extreme pressure in society to adequately perform as the normal person he appears to be. Because of this it’s easy to attack him at the mental level, even if it’s hard to influence his behavior. Speed: If there’s one thing Oliver does have it’s been quick and nimble. Mainly because his opponents are often twice his size, it’s easy to maneuver around them. Though his speed is not a direct motion, it’s more like being able to escape out of danger, or being able to move quickly out of the way. He of course is not going to beat any athletes out of their own game, of course not, but he at least can find a way to evade detection. Reaction Speed: Slightly above average, Oliver training has always made him a naturally observing individual. So he can pick up on the slightest of cues and be able to react in an adequate enough time to be able to slip on through. Despite this his reaction speed is still not nowhere out there on the crazy levels it can get and there are still some delays between brain and action. Though Oliver still moves with an uncanny ability to read others fairly well.

I am a medical examiner, I don’t need any more things or expectations to be thrown at me. Please don’t glamorize my life in a way that’s so absurd I’d never be able to live up to that image. I’d barely be able to recognize that unicorn in the mirror then if you set the bar that high. Ability Capabilities: Oliver interacts with the dead, though not like those TV shows on the telly with premonitions and the like. Ghost whispering, nor is it exactly like raising the dead. Instead it’s something more like dealing with zombies, and discerning information through body parts and fluids. Not too unlike his normal job, just with more enhancement. Pathology Manipulation might be a good way of putting it rather than simply reanimator. Qualities of Ability: Waking Dead - Oliver can shoot a jolt of energy through a deceased individual’s brain, in order to reactive the brain enough for the individual to speak. They aren’t necessarily alive in this state, more like something between states. In ancient medicines and in ancient magical practices, they say something like crystals can retain the memories of events around them. Seems like a weird allegory, but the idea is more like digging at what the brain retained just before the state of death. Just Stunning - The jolt that otherwise affects the brain of the dead to reactivate, partially, tends to have the opposite reaction with those living that Oliver touches and decides to deliver a shocking result. This affect is used to stun others into submission, his jolt can often be the strength of a 50,000 amp stun gun from his palm directly to their body. However, as it is with his other ability this isn’t as clean cut as it should be. Dying to See You - It’s not just the brain Oliver can reactivate and use to discern information. Any impartial remains Oliver can discern events that happened to them by touch. It’s a really hazy, poorly put together jigsaw of information that barely cobbles together an accurate story. Death is really complicated and once again it’s not easy as he’d like it to be either. Blood Thinner - In layman's term someone would say that Oliver absorbs small amounts of blood through his skin. Though the truth is a bit more complicated than that. While it is true Oliver takes in small bits of blood through his skin, he actually breaks it down to its atomic energy in order to discern information from the leftover energy, not necessarily the blood itself. It’s difficult to do this with dryer or older blood when its blackened, though plausible, just difficult. Last Words - Less a direct ability he controls, and more like a passive ability. It seems his powers is some mass perversion of empathetic powers. But any passing person near him, soul expels a final message to their dead ones. Though this is more a feeling than words. Strength of Ability: Quite frankly speaking, it’s probably the reason why he’s the best medical examiner SYNBAD is ever going to get. Someone who understands the stories of the dead and is able to define and so accurately portray their experiences, someone who truly knows is anyone family’s relief. While that may make him sound creepy, it’s a unique gift that blesses him wholey to get the dead the justice they deserve, on another it’s his curse that makes him understand dead people more than living. Weakness of Ability: Sometimes it seems Oliver forgets that people don’t like to talk about corpses, his ability has given him a unique insight into the world of the dead and questions one’s belief in the afterlife or at least perverts it in some way. For many this puts Oliver in a weird position it makes him come off too outside the norm for anyone to accept that part of himself. So he shuts others out about his world, because there’s nobody to talk to about corpse stuff. He finds himself identifying humanity with their death than their living lives, which puts him in an odd position with others. Oliver spent most of his life in belief that there is something wrong with him, which puts him in an awkward state of mind with people. While he is glad he can provide the dead a voice they otherwise wouldn’t have, he wished he looked more like Bridget or Myles. Something that physically symbolize his difference between humanity itself. There’s a lot of disassociation in his life where he feels completely mentally or physically lost. Beyond the fact that he is often drained by the end of it. It’s not a physical tired, but a mental tired. Your brain constantly scanning and finding information. Any introvert would be exhausted socializing with a large amount of people, in some ways this is similar in concept. Taking in new bits of information and trying to jumble them together leaves stress headaches, moodiness, and being overtired at times. While his dreams take him to such vivid realities that aren’t his own. Dreams that make him lose himself, or dreams that playback the death of someone over and over again. Screaming and phantom noises in the back of his mind. Oliver stays silent through it all. Limitations of Ability: Despite Oliver having control of what he wants to send a jolt through, sometimes he has little control of how much juice he is giving something. With that in mind sometimes when things are given a jolt of energy, if it’s too much he has a tendency for the dead’s head to explode. Like having forgotten to take something out of the plastic wrapper and it explodes in the microwave. Abilities like being able to discern information from fragments and limbs are often what happened exactly to the limb. None of his powers give him direct context to the information. Instead he gets the information in a poorly laid out blueprint in his brain that he has to jigsaw back together. It’s like a rubix cube with a few missing colors and you still have to manage to put the few remaining colors back together. Sending a jolt to an individual can lead to other complications, while they may not outright explode, his jolt can send enough energy to accidentally place someone in cardiac arrest, or sometimes his jolt starts hemorrhaging in certain parts of the body, or sometimes their heads explode.

Your “problem” doesn’t really concern me, your wife is mad because you’re not sticking to the diet you promised to stick to with her. That seems like a fairly reasonable thing to be mad at, someone who doesn’t stick to their promises. Right now I have a guy, bits, and bones stuck in a woodchipper. So, which position would you like to be in? Mine or yours?” -smile kindly though- Reputation: Mixed. No one can really grasp a feeling on what they think of Oliver. While they can admit that he is a fundamentally decent work and someone they openly admire. He can also be kind of off. There is no way someone should talk so casually about his work as if it doesn’t affect him. Or make nonchalant comments about death as if that’s a conversation you should have at brunch. People aren’t quite sure whether to peg him as a Dexter [from the show] or just socially awkward. [center][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwPiYe8PHsc[/youtube][/center]
