"You lost, a part of your existence in the war, against yourself"
Oliver has a lanky build, not unlike a teenager and pale skin covered with more moles than you can count. He has a small scar below his left ear that's been there ever since he was a kid and messy brown hair that sticks up in every direction. He occasionally wears hats to cover up his constant bed head appearance but usually doesn't bother with it. His chocolate brown eyes don't see as well as most, so he's either wearing a pair of geeky looking glasses or his contact lenses. He's 5'11" only a couple inches shorter than the tallest male in his family, his father. His weight stays about the same, around 145 pounds, no matter how much junk food he stuffs himself with.
Secret:
Oli was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer almost 5 months ago and has been hospitalized several times for his worsening condition yet he still refuses to let anyone around him (other than immediate family, that is) find out about him having cancer. He just wants to be able to keep living his life the way it is without having everyone around him constantly taking pity to him and treating him like he could die at any second. The worse his condition gets the harder it gets to hide his illness from those around him. It's easy to make up stories for where he is during his chemo therapy appointments and blame his lack of energy and ill like state on his laziness but how far can he bury himself in lies before someone realizes there's something up with the eldest Pierce boy?
Personality:
If you had to describe Oli in one word it would be awkward. He's not any good at social situations, he finds it difficult to make small talk and find similar interests with others his age, always has. He's gotten a little less awkward about it over the years but it's still pretty obvious to his friends that he's uncomfortable around strangers. He can't sit still or be silent for more than twenty seconds, both his mouth and his body have to be constantly moving in someway or another. If he's not making awkward hand movements while conversing with you then his hands must be preoccupied because there's no way he could manage to keep his hands still. He pretends that he doesn't actually care about others or what they think about him by being sarcastic and mean. He says things he doesn't really mean before he can even think about taking it back and he's no good at making up for his mistakes. He finds it challenging to make new friends let alone a girlfriend or boyfriend, the only friends he has are those he went to school with and he's still not sure how they manage to put up with him. He obsesses over things he has interest in, whether that be mythology or his newest crush and he can't help but talk about that interest to the point where he can probably drive you insane.
Talents:
x High IQ (which is surprising to most people since he dropped out of college)
x Has a way with words (he can express himself beautifully, as long as you're okay with the flailing hand movements)
x Good with kids (Despite his annoyance with most of the human race he adores kids)
Weaknesses:
β Stubborn ||When he has his mind set on something, there's no possible way for you to change his mind. No matter how good your argument is, he won't give it a care in the world because he's already sure of his decision.
β Makes Irrational Decisions || He acts with out thinking things through, which can often end badly and has led to him getting himself (or someone else) hurt more times than he can count but he can't seem to stop himself from making irrational decisions, no matter how hard he tries.
β Never Puts Himself First || Despite Oli acting as if he can't stand most people, he's usually seen putting everyone else's well being before himself. He's more concerned that everyone around him is happy than making himself comfortable and content.
Fears:
β Being Belittled || He's not exactly the strongest or fastest or hottest or anything -est guy out there so it's not abnormal for people to belittle him and make him seem unneeded. He's well aware that he can be helpful when he wants to be, but it hurts when people are constantly trying to tell you that your best isn't good enough.
"I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare."
Oli grew up with an almost abnormally large family, made up of four sisters and three brothers, all of which were younger than him. Because of this, he learned from a young age how easy it was to sneak around and get away with anything when someone's attention is constantly on something other than you. When he was a kid, his main problem with sneaking out at night was that he couldn't be quiet and sneaky about anything, he always ended up tripping over one of the kid's toys or accidentally setting off the alarm system while trying to get out the front door with out waking any of the house's many occupants. Before he got diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer, his life was pretty normal for a college dropout who only ever got told by adults that he was wasting so much great potential. According to them, he was throwing away his future and needed to get his act together before he lost everything. Their harsh words only pushed him farther away from the stereotypical way of life that his parents expected him to follow. He became reckless, did things he never would have imagined himself doing even a year before and somehow managing to get away with it all despite his usual weakness of getting caught. When his Cancer started to get worse he left town in search for other doctors to help him fight through it and to keep everyone in town from finding out. He returned to town when a doctor diagnosed him as cancer free but shortly after returning he was informed at his monthly check up that the cancer was back and even worse than it was the first time around.
