Personal Style: Business casual would be the best way to describe Oliver's personal style; liking to feel comfortable, and still looking nice for the workplace. To him, this often means a blazer, polo, trousers and loafers. He prefers to dress in tans and blues as far as colors go, and keeps his hair short and sharply cut. Appearance isn't something he cares a lot about, but growing up going to a private school, he very much works better when he's dressed nicely for work. His choice in clothing is focused around making sure he can stay in a head space in which he can be most productive.

Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Oli is the type of person that can find a problem one day, and spend the next 48 hours working on it without taking a moment to even sleep. He loves having new things to think about and work on, and looks out for them constantly. This is the sort of behavior that makes him so good at his job, he will work until he can't anymore. This behavior can also make it hard for him to keep and maintain personal relationships; it's hard to have a friendship with somebody who can't take an hour away from their work to grab lunch. He most easily forms relationships with people that he has to collaborate on projects with, as spending time with them draws less from his work.
Inwardly, Oliver is self confident, almost to a fault. It can be hard, or even impossible, for him to admit that something is beyond him. He carries a large amount of respect for himself in this way, and this feeds into why he's working for SHIELD in the first place. He fundamentally believes he possesses the capability to do things things that other people can't, and he thinks putting his talents into SHIELD is the best way for him to help the word. While this can make him seem arrogant at times, he's at least earned it, and his heart is in the right place.
Habits: Fiddling with Rubik's cubes, clicking his pen.
Hobbies: Online ARGs and puzzles, Rubik's cube solving
Fears: At least 3! These are things that will drive your characters insane and cause logic and reason to go out the window. Choose these carefully, as I will make note of them to use against you ^_~

Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: It would not be inaccurate to say that the market for Oliver's total skill set is not the largest. Given that, SHIELD seemed to be an organization that largely was trying to do good in the world, and that was something Oliver truly cared about. To him, it's easy to make a living doing a bad thing, but it's a lot harder to survive while doing good. Being somebody who thrives in difficult situations, the latter was his natural environment. SHIELD was a chance for him to work with the best people of his generation, doing things to help the world, how could he say no?
General History: Growing up, Oliver was not only precocious, but also had the advantage of having supportive parents, who provided him opportunities to grow and do the things he wanted to do. Being lucky enough to afford a private education, he made quick strides in his development. Ravenously, he chewed through textbooks, learning more and more, never slowing down because to him, school was fun. Due to this passion for learning, he was able to graduate high school at just fourteen years old, much to his parents pride.
His college days were similar, but also different. His passion continued, but for the first time in his life, he was slowed down. Skipping college courses wasn't a thing that could be done, so he was forced to progress at the same rate as the rest of his students. This is where Oliver began largely self educating, finding new things to teach himself, and where he first gained his deep passion for mathematics. He began as a major in mathematics, but that just because he was good at it more than anything else. As he delved into it on his own, he was thrilled with how it built on itself in so many interesting ways. The fact that everything was learnable, given enough time, was special to him, and meant that, while he couldn't graduate any faster, he
could learn enough of his course material ahead of time that his classes would be significantly easier.
This development is what ultimately lead to him also pursuing a degree in physics, his eased course load meaning that he could add more without overburdening himself. The puzzles that physics and mathematics gave him held his interest throughout his academic career, piquing his interests and keeping him well occupied. He didn't make too many friends in college, but he was at least well liked by his professors and peers, on an intellectual level. He made a good partner on group projects, and took active interest in his classes, which was to him meant he was succeeding. He felt lonely on occasion, but that was to be expected; it's not easy for 20 somethings to be friends with a teenager after all.
Eventually, he came to graduate, and continue his education through graduate school. Finding a passion in cryptography, he focused on that. It was literally everything he loved, practically being the science of puzzle solving, and something he could get paid to do. This was something that he truly enjoyed, so he was happy to have it as he finished his education. Once he had gotten his degrees, he had a few offers to entertain, one of which, was from SHIELD. Needless to say, he ended up going with them.
