[/color] [hr] [color=MediumAquamarine][b]Biography[/b] [/color] [color=Silver] Oliver was born in Sweetwater a small suburb nestled near the woods of Darport Vinland. The first of two children Oliver’s parents were poor, but happy. Oliver's father, Jackson Sinclair was a hunter and daytaler who took odd jobs to support his family anywhere he could get work when he wasn’t out hunting to bring game home for dinner or to the butcher to sell. His mother, Emilia Sinclair was a seamstress who dreamed of making dresses in the city. Oliver is eight years older than his sister Sarah Sinclair, but despite the age difference Oliver has maintained a great relationship with his little Sister, the girl imitating her older brother and begging to go with him wherever he went.Which was a bit of a problem for Oliver when it came to spending time with his best friend William Cumberland, the two have been classmates since the fourth grade and inseparable, Oliver learned how to play guitar with Bill and how to cheat at cards, which caused no shortage of trouble for the boys with some of the older kids in the neighborhood. Life in Sweetwater for the Sinclair family was a humble one to say the least. His parents lived paycheck to paycheck which made it difficult for them to deviate for the normal day to day necessities and buy their children toys or fancy clothes. Oliver however made the most of his childhood while also trying his best to alleviate the pressure on his parents by doing well in school, and making sure his sister was as well. Oliver balanced a healthy social life in school with good grades. Oliver’s confidence and extroverted nature blended in with bill’s charms and good looks made them both well known within the school. Outside of school Oliver made money hunting with his father, selling game to butcher shops. His father taught him how to track,bought him his first Long gun and taught him how to use it well when hunting. His father had a profound influence on Oliver, teaching him his trade, and bringing him up on how to treat others. So his father's passing during a sawmill accident hit Oliver particularly hard, the boy at only fourteen was now the man of his house. After Jackson’s death, the Sinclair's had it hard. Emilia was broken by the ordeal, the love she had with Jackson being irreplaceable. She took time off work and rarely left her bed.They had no family in Darport besides each other, so Oliver had to step up to help take care of both his mother and his little sister, with both cooking,cleaning, and helping his sister with her homework. Oliver effectively became the parent in the household, dressing,feeding, and making sure his sister made it to school while also making sure his mother didn’t do anything stupid. He had almost no time to mourn his father, instead relying on his will to bury those feelings deep, lest his entire home fall apart. With time the company’s investigation concluded, and the Sinclair's were awarded compensation for the death, the money helped but it wasn’t nearly enough to raise them out of the mounting debt they started to receive. With time, Oliver coaxed his mother out of bed, he was only a boy still he didn’t know what to do just by himself, she knew that, and so did he. A few years after the ordeal, with the occasional help of the Cumberland's the Sinclair's made a small life for themselves, Oliver hunting to help feed his family as well as pay the bills, but it was never enough and faced with almost no other options to put food on the table and a roof over his family's head, Oliver would enlist to fight in the war much to his mother and sisters distress.
