From a first glance, Ozric always seems to be a more cold and austere man. He’s not one to walk around with a happy face, or go out of his way to smile or talk to anyone he doesn’t have to. He can come off quite off-putting to those who don’t know him. Almost complimenting his stoic presence, Oz can have a sharp tongue that can come off bitter. Although never dishonest unless protecting those closest to him, his truths fall sour from the mouth often deterring others.

But even though he comes off prickly, those who truly know Ozric know that it isn’t intentional but a subject of his upbringing. In truth, he is a caring person with a large heart. Anyone and everyone that he can take under his wing and help, he does. He rarely sees the fruits of his own labor, rather using his revenue to help the androids and humans that come to him for aid. But selfless people are doormats in a place like Infinity City, so while he’d help anyone he saw, Oz has no choice but to deter some who would take advantage of his hospitality. Not that it doesn’t weigh on his conscience heavily.

Being the bleeding heart type person he is, Ozric has also grown to be very protective over those he’s helped. He goes out of his way to help others and bring them into his care at Emerald City. But because what he does for them, along with the information he gathers isn’t strictly legal, he’s grown very protective over those in his care. He keeps body guards and bouncers around at all times along with his own precautionary steps to keep those around him safe. It has been said that sometimes he can be over protective choosing to put himself in harms way rather than those he cares for. Selfless that can be borderline dangerous.

Given his line of work, Oz is not very forth coming. He keeps the secrets about Emerald City and those under him far from prying ears. And the only ones who know about the androids hiding out in his club are those that hide there. His main trade is secrets, but never his own. In that line of work, he’s gotten good at keep new people at a distance to protective himself and those closest to him. He is a loyal man, but it takes patience to get past his rough exterior. He only gives loyalty and trust when he receives it.

Ozric’s story isn’t a particularly complicated or extravagant one like some of the others he has encountered in Infinity City. He grew up an orphan of the city. He never knew if his parents died or gave him up before he was old enough to remember. But the other kids liked to say that they were poor addicts that sold him to the city for their next high. Either way it didn’t matter to him. He never dreamed about the parents that never were in his life. Life in the lowest part of the city was rough enough to occupy his thoughts.

Since he was old enough, not more than twelve, Oz had tried running away from the orphanage more times than he could count. First it wouldn’t last a day before he was found, then a couple days, a week… and once he even managed to stay hidden for a month before the city turned him out onto the streets at the age of sixteen. Since then, he’s always been on his own scavenging for whatever he could find.

Oz spent many of his days searching the numerous junkyards that surround the city for parts and other objects he could pawn for bit of money. First it started with scavenging, but the older he got the more he began to tinker, teaching himself how use pieces from one thing to repair another which doubled the money he got. Finding it lucrative, he kept teaching himself first fixing small appliances or pieces for machines, until he eventually began learning how to repair biomechanics and androids.

With his growing knowledge, he started following trucks carrying decommissioned droids to find where they were dumped. There he was able to find all he needed to quickly build a small fortune. And it was there, that he found Haven. It was the first time he ever ran into a fully sentient android that still functioned enough to call out to him. He took him almost a year to get her back to full functionality. But it was in that moment that he realized that that was his calling.

Once he had repaired Haven, Ozric took every penny to his name and open Emerald City, a club that specialized in exotic dancers and hired courtesans. And while the club quickly grew in popularity and notoriety it was all a front. Emerald City was used as a hiding and rehabilitation place for forgotten machines. Although he made a fair bit of money from the business itself, what he really traded in was secrets. It was amazing the things some men and women would say… when they’re happy.
