Name: Oliver Riddle
Role: Servant Boy
Age: 18 (though certainly doesn't look it)
Occupation: Servant to the Duke
Appearance: If there is one way to describe Oliver, it would have to be downright aborable. Despite his age on manhood he looks young, more specifically almost like a girl one would say. His baby-face has as of recent has become thinner and more defined, making him appear more beautiful than cute, and with age this increases, like a blossom. Oliverās lithe form has practiced agile capability, so while he lacks muscle on a serious level, he gets by being a quick and wormy fella. His skin is befitting a sunny personality, a warm glow that is neither pale nor tanned, while his hair is in full agreement to this outlook in a yellow fluffy blonde. Light green mirrors to his soul glisten from wide almond shaped eyes, giving him a striking innocent look. This young man stands a five feet and six inches, and weighs in at 119 pounds, he is slightly under-fed looking despite his good looks.
Personality: It was made clear that this boy appears very sunny and innocent, but those are simply his looks, and they donāt describe his personality at all. In fact, speaking with this child will make you believe him to be rather un-cute in all respects. Heās made women cry and old grandpas turn green with his speech before. In fact itās a good stun tactic, makes them pause in surprise while you run the hell away. Bottom line is, this kid aināt what he looks like.
First off it is pretty obvious that this child is from a low class upbringing, his thick cockney accent proves as much. What his upbringing has also given his is a savvy nature and a sharp common sense; heās a clever little berk and wonāt let you forget it. His smooth talking gets him out of a lot, and empty promises ensure his safety. Heās looking for a way to pull a fast one on you constantly, in fact he doesnāt feel safe without thinking that way, itās his defense mechanism that he becomes extremely nervous without. If he thinks that you are in control of the situation heāll even start to go into a cold sweat. Small places also help calm him down when heās like this. Although it is to be kept in mind that he rarely would ever have the risk of coming into a situation like that, since he is a careful person who thinks ahead and doesnāt stick his neck out willingly. I say willingly because foolishly enough he has been known to stick his neck out for ungrateful little snots who think they run London and get themselves into jams, damn idiots.
Along with his sharp mind is an aloof demeanor that most would call cold, especially with eyes as light as his, they can get icy. Heās gotta walk slinky so guess what? Heās gotta act it too. Shove his nose in that air just like those stuffy nobles is what heāll do, you think aristocrats are snippy? They donāt have a thing on Oliver, of course this is just an act, and in reality heās much more realistic and spazz-prone. Whenever his guard is down or if there is no need for it to be up, this puffed up popinjay will freak out and yell his head off at you. That is to say, itās pretty obvious that he has a bad temper. While acting it wonāt show, but if there isnāt any need or if it just becomes too much, itās possible itāll show on him. Then again, Oliver is a fantastic actor, and when push comes to shove he can be just about anyone.
Under his sassy quick-draw Idonātcare and itāsallundercontrol persona, lies a depressed and lonely person who only survives to spite the society who calls him a dirty street rat. Thatās his revenge, surviving. And until recently thatās all heās ever cared about, he has never killed before, but heās seen it happen right in front of him and heās pretty sure heād be capable of the same thing.

History: What is there to say about a whoreās son? Other than the fact that they donāt stand a chance once theyāre born, and especially if their mother dies when heās just a lad. Nine years old and he has to fend for himself, fair enough, at least he was cute and innocent looking, perhaps thatās what made people trust him when he picked their pocket and stole their jewelry. He saw one guy doing it with a partner and he himself became pretty good at it. Speaking of partners, heās had a few; even some he could call a mentor. They all share something in common though, that they were rotten, and that they were all temporary. Heād move on while they slept after being unable to take their behavior. Until he became old and skilled enough to do it all on his own; fifteen years aught to be enough to make you able to deal with life on your own right?
If heās a little misplaced emotionally oh well, who would expect anything different right? Heās just a street kid and heās slept in places that smell so bad theyād make you puke. Heās just a street kid and heās had people he doesnāt even know spit in his face and call him scum. Heās just a street kid and heāll rob you blind. Heās just a street kid and he doesnāt cry. Heās just a street kid and heās damn lonely. Just a street kid, so no one cares.
At least he thought no one did. You see growing up like him youād figure he doesnāt have a very high respect or view for high-class people, and until recently that was true. To him they all looked the same. Until one night heās done something stupid and now heās paying the consequences. A couple of guys are kicking his ribs in on the side of a bridge; he thinks heās going to die. But then this carriage rolls on by and stops, a girlās head pops out and she yells out for the men to stop. A man gets out and the guys kicking Oliver run off, the girl who popped her head out rushes out despite the man, her brother, telling her to stay in the carriage. She rushes to Oliver and let me tell yah, that had to be the softest silk glove heād ever felt in his life. The noble girl and her brother took Oliver in and he was subjected to the finest treatment heād ever known. They must have known he was a street kid, I mean his accent and rags gave him away, but not once did anyone in the household ask him such a thing, they just helped him.
He got well and despite initial disbelief was very grateful for the kindness extended to him. They insisted that he stay with them, and both brother and sister became dear to him during that short and sweet time. Two whole months, his hurt heart was mending by the day and his smile became brighter. Two whole months and he was in love with the company of the brother and sister. But then tragedy struck when the sister went missing all of the sudden. One party and she was gone. Oliver and the older brother became infuriated and began looking for her, Oliver contacting everyone he knew of in the lower part of London while the brother used his own resources. Finally Oliver heard of the rumors of the Duke of Baisley, and began suspecting that the rumors must be true if there was no trace of his dear friend anywhere else, not even a whisper. So Oliver proposed this to the older brother; That he should go in disguise and apply as a servant for the Duke, seeing as how one lone position was open for such a role.
Donning a blonde wig and common girl garb Oliver goes in with the alias of Olive (creative right?) and now works for the Duke Baisley. It has been one week and despite noticing how much the Duke likes to flirt he has found nothing. Though the week has been busy for him with just the work alone so far. He plans to start snooping soon and send a report back to the noble he is in cahoots with.
