Personality: Oswald is a curious and curtious individual, respecting those who deserve respect, and making sure others feels at ease around him. He also has a habit of losing control of his temper when someone knocks off his hat. Backstory: Originally from North London, Oswald was always fascinated about the stories he was told by his grandfather. And ever so keen to learn more about the world and its many secrets, he would visit the library frequently. He would eventually work there for a time. During his twenties, he decided to go travelling around the country, purely due to his deep interest in history. And during a journey through Northern England, he visited the ruins of a small fort. Whilst climbing the stairs of a ruined tower, he had lost his footing, and expected the worst as he fell back, but was saved by a spectral hand grasping onto a sturdy bit of stone sticking out of the wall. At first he thought it a ghost or even a guardian angel come to rescue him from certain death. But he'd soon know how to use and control it. Years later, he would turn his historical research toward the colonies of the Americas, as it is a land rife with adventure and curios, as well as business and opportunity. The land had some quite interesting folk and locations, with equally as interesting stories in turn. He would go on to become an author for detailing and sharing these stories to all. Skills/Specialties: Oswald is a fast reader, and an accomplished writer. He has written four books already about some of the lesser known, and somewhat bizarre towns, in both the U.S and Canada. Though Serpent's Snag will prove to be the most bizarre of the lot. [/hider]
