Oscar "Oz" Glass
Name:
"Call me Oz. Oscar sounds too grown up, you know?"
Oscar Miles Glass. However, he prefers to go by "Oz" because he thinks Oscar is far too stuffy of a name. Ozzie is also an acceptable nickname, but that's more of an affectionate pet name limited to his family and extremely close friends.
Age:
"I guess that means that I'm an adult now. Haha, isn't that a scary thought?"
Eighteen-Years-Old
Gender:
"I'm pretty sure that you can tell, right?"
Male
Are you past life aware?:
"Past life? What, like reincarnation?"
At this point in time, Oz is completely unaware of anything to do with his past life apart from the occasional case of deja vu that can be easily explained away by any rational mind. No inkling of forgotten memories, no flashbacks or realizations from the lives that he's already lived, and, of course, no nightmares about any of his prior deaths.
Role:
Boy 2
Personality:
"It's kind of hard to just sum a person up, isn't it?"
Anyone who meets Oz would be quick to note that the boy almost perfectly embodies the Type B personality. He's the sort of person who can roll with life's punches with relative ease, taking failures with nonchalance and celebrating success as it comes. He faces challenges calmly and, rather than bending under pressure or becoming easily frustrated, he remains cool and collected in high-stress environments. Oz is, quite simply, a relaxed sort of person and is incredibly slow to anger or irritate. Even when stumbling into fights and arguments, Oz tries to be passive and calm the situation down which, of course, doesn't always work out. His patience is also legendary among his friends, whether he is sitting through irritated rants or simply waiting for hours on end when someone forgets to show up to hang out and then apparently not holding any grudge even if he's a bit disappointed. And his disappointed face, well, that may just be worse then any sort of temper tantrum. He's also a flexible and accepting sort of person, putting up with his friends' shenanigans and often joining in when he can. However, when left to his own devices, Oz is quite comfortable lounging around at home or off doing his own thing and it occasionally takes a nudge from his friends to actually motivate him to go out and do things just for fun. Still, when he does go out, he has a blast being the social butterfly that he is.
That's not to say he's a completely zen sort of person or without emotion. Quite the opposite, he's a rather emotional person, wearing his heart on his sleeve. He's overtly affectionate with his friends, throwing an arm around shoulders, giving hugs when they return from vacation, and ruffling hair if only because he's one of the tallest in the group. He's an empathetic person, offering a shoulder to cry on or even just an ear to listen when someone needs it, friend or stranger alike. Which, in retrospect, may be how he has so many friends or, at least, several close friends and tons of acquaintances. However, he shows a stronger concern for his close friends, like Nate who, quite frankly, is worrying him to bits, but, Oz supposes, he'll talk when he wants to talk. Hopefully.
These are not, admittedly, the best sort of qualities. His lack of motivation and relaxed nature leads him to procrastinate terribly which can obviously lead to problems. His passive nature leads some people to take advantage of him. His empathetic tendencies also makes him generally push back his own needs and wants to assist his friends. And, despite his relaxed nature, it is entirely possible to get him angry, just difficult. And when he does blow a fuse, it's a terrifying even to see the normally calm and cheerful Oz actually shouting or, on the rarest of occasions, throwing punches.
Your Details:
Oz's past is nothing too tragic or memorable, but it's had a great impact on the man he is today. Oz was, originally, a more normal little boy with a short temperament, more excitable and needy. However, everything changed when his parents divorced when he was eight. It was an amicable thing, really, with both just citing "irreconcilable differences", i.e. they were no longer in love with one another. His mother, Eliza, was granted custody of the rambunctious eight-year-old and soon remarried an older man named Todd. Now, Todd and Oz got along as well as could be expected, even if the child slightly resented the man taking his father's place in the home, but the most drastic change came from the other new additions to the family; Todd's two daughters Mary, eleven, and Ellie, four. At first, Oz was thrilled to have siblings, something that he'd never experienced in his life as an only child. It wasn't until they moved in that he realized how different it would be.
Mary was a little snot, in the word's of her fed-up teachers, snooty and unlikable as well as demanding of both her father and new step-mother's time and money. She had to have the latest fashions, toys, you name it. As for Ellie, well, she was demanding in her own way, a consummate daredevil who enjoyed trying to climb the highest things that she could like a little monkey. Cast in the large shadow of his step-sisters' antics, Oz was given two choices; act out even more to get his stressed-out parents' attention or become the "easy child". The child who didn't cause problems, who helped out when they could, "the good child" even. Unlike most boys his age, he chose the second option.
It was hard at first, but as time went by, he fell into the role neatly. Life was easier when he was relaxed and calm- stress didn't get to him anymore, he was a blessing to his parents, more and more people seemed to like him. It seemed like he'd made the right choice. That is, until he broke up with his first and only girlfriend, a pretty girl named Karen, who insisted that these qualities he'd developed, that made him who he was, were 'dull' and 'irritating' and that the only reason people hung around him was due to how easily used he was. He brushed it off (much to her lasting ire) and pretended as if the breakup was amicable and fine, but the damage was already done and doubt began to set in as to even his friends' real intentions. Not only that, but, recently, his best friend Nate has begun to withdraw from the group, Oz included, and everyone seems to be having their own problems that, in his mind, are much more important then his.

Secrets:
"I'm not exactly the most secretive person."
-His breakup with his first and only girlfriend at sixteen was far from as mutual and amicable as he described it to people. It was a messy thing, her accusing him of being 'boring' and 'lazy' given that he wasn't the most romantic sort of significant other and was much more content to not take her anywhere unless she suggested it, and then revealing that she'd only dated him to have a complacent boyfriend who went along with whatever she said. He never knew how much of it was true or how much of it was said in the bitterness of their breakup, but it stuck with him, lodging in the back of his mind and making his wonder if his friends felt the same way.
-He's actually quite terrified of horror movies, often keeping the light on in his room for days afterwards.
Fears:
"Scared? Me? No, never!"
-Oz is absolutely terrified of snakes, often going to great lengths to avoid them, and even refusing to go to the Reptile House at the zoo on the off chance that one might escape.
-On the more serious side of things, however, deep down he's terrified that his friends might not really like him and are just keeping him around because it's convenient for them.
Sexual Orientation:
"It's all fine, man."
A burgeoning bisexual who generally prefers women.
Crush:
None
Boyfriend/Girlfriend:
"I've been told that I'm not exactly boyfriend material."
None
Other:
-He has a long scar on the back of his left leg from a bicycling accident when he was twelve.
-His dream is to one day go back-packing across Europe.
Height:
"I'm not tall- everyone else is just short."
6'1
Build:
"See? Yoga's not as girly as everyone says."
Tall and slightly lanky, Oz is lithe from his jogging and yoga.
Looks:
"Not too shabby, am I right?"
Tall and lanky as if his body hasn't quite figured out what to do with his height as of yet, Oz is nevertheless a rather lithe individual, muscular from his daily jogs and morning yoga. His blonde hair is often in a tousled mess, strands curling in wayward directions. His features are angular and rather sharp, but a kind almost bemused smile that almost always graces his face does a good deal to soften it. His bright green eyes are rather sleeping looking, darks bags collected underneath, but are still relatively friendly in appearance. On an average day, he throws on whatever is convenient whether that be jeans and a sweater or cargo shorts and a t-shirt, but he prefers not to put too much thought into his outfits if only because that's kind of a pain to deal with.
