Personality
Let's just say that Oli is a big dreamer. Ever since he was a boy, he had dreams of striking it rich, and he continues to hold that dream even after losing everything. As the elements wear him down, he persists with all that he has to press forward. Perhaps that's what is the saddest thing, he doesn't give up, even when he probably should. His mother insisted that he returned home the last time he got to talk to her, but he refused. There's no turning back now, at least that's how he sees it.
Despite his attitude of never giving up, he has a hard time standing up for himself when he needs to. Rarely does he have the courage to say something against someone, the worst he can do most of the time is mildly protest, or try to come up with some flimsy excuse to get out of it. That is easily his biggest flaw -- he's too polite to stand up for himself, which would screw him over later. There is one standard he has, he will not preform any sexual favors for money, no matter how desperate. That could be the one thing he has no problem with refusing and standing up for.
He lives by the straight-edge lifestyle. You'll never see him drink, smoke, or do drugs. Even if he's forced into dealing drugs, he'll go by the code thou shall not get high off one's own supply. It can be a bit awkward when someone offers him one of those things in a public setting, only to turn it down because of his own guidelines. He hopes he won't have to experience being the only sober one in the room with his nine other roommates, because he's experienced that before with his mom and whatever boyfriend she had at the time.
Oli tries to hide his flaws by being easy-going and attempts befriend everyone he can. As long as people are also friendly with him, they won't know about his shortcomings. This is easiest with kids, who... tend to be more trustworthy than adults. He would experience how untrustworthy adults, especially ones in the Big Apple are, first hand. It's an experience he'll never forget.

History
Oli was born in a relatively poor area in Toronto, Canada. He was raised by a single mother, Patricia, while his father was never in the picture. He never liked the area he lived in. It was too boring, slummy, and its only claim-to-fame internationally is being home to a certain crack-smoking mayor. His whole life he had big dreams of moving to America as an entrepreneur, hoping to strike it rich and live in the lap of luxury. Everyone put him down for it, his mother, his relatives, his classmates... nobody believed he could be anything more than poor.
His mother's goal was to find a husband who could take care them.. She to had the idea being rich, but instead of working for it, she wanted find someone who already had that money. This led to her dating a lot people who had money, but were total losers. They would abuse her and him until they finally broke up. None of his mom's boyfriends liked him, all of them thought he was just some stupid kid with stupid dreams. When he turned 18, he had sight sets for New York. Once he graduated school and saved up enough money to survive, he hightailed it out of there.
One long bus trip later, he was in The City that Never Sleeps. He got himself an apartment with several other roommates that helped with paying for the high cost of living. He got himself a job as a clerk at a candy store, and eventually saved up as much money as he could to open his own candy shop. It wasn't a big store, he couldn't afford something extravagant like that in New York yet, but it had its own charm to it. He able to get his own apartment from the money he made, and it seemed like he was on track to becoming a millionaire.
But things didn't go according to plan. One day a man pressured him to give him money, or he was going to have his friends attack the store. He caved in out of fear, and gave him what he wanted. However, that man wasn't one of honor. He burned down his store anyways at night when Oli was sleeping, and didn't discover it until he went to work the next morning. Since he didn't insure the store, thinking it would save him money, he lost everything.
Now he's forced onto the street, doing whatever he can to survive. Living with nine other people in a basement wasn't exactly his plan when moving to America, but one day he dreams of reopening his store, and this time, he'll get insurance.
