Personality
Oliver loves everything about his family. He doesn't understand why others are so judgmental and degrading towards him and his family. He has so many great parents to look up to, and so many siblings to be around. There truly is never a dull moment, and he embraces both the good and bad times together. Being the oldest child, he is fiercely protective over the entire family, and will not tolerate any negative words or actions that anyone has to say about their 'different' way of life. Growing up in such a large family has led him to be extremely social outside of the household, and he is very rarely shy or reserved.
Since his family is so different from most others, he was graciously gifted with having an open mind. And it really bothers him when others aren't the same way. After finding out someone is close minded, and won't even listen to him describe how wonderful his family is, he prefers to just ignore them and not deal with their narrow view of the world. He really looks up to his father, and strives to be like him in practically every way. Even when he gets older, he wants to have the same type of family that he so happily grew up in.
Oliver does his best to be the peacemaker of the family, since he gets along with every single member. If a fight or disagreement comes up, he tries his hardest to get it resolved quickly. He doesn't like when their is disorder in the family, and if he can't help make it better, he usually removes himself from the situation until it cools down. He likes evening and night time, and enjoys just sitting outside in the grass and looking at the stars.
He has an extreme love for music and the arts, and particularly loves sitting around and plucking at his acoustic guitar. But that does not mean he doesn't have an athletic side. He goes for a run every morning, and has a workout routine he does in the early evening. He considers himself spiritual rather than religious. He tries to be the best person he can be, and live life without hatred and anger, and he figures that is good enough. He doesn't define his sexuality either, thinking that love shouldn't be defined, and whoever he falls in love with will be the best person for him.
History
Oliver is the oldest child in the Lorraine family, born to Thomas' first wife. As a child, he obviously didn't understand the complex workings of his family. He did love the fact that he had so many children to play with, and he never had to worry about not having a parent around to run to or talk to. He never questioned why he had such a large family, and it never really seemed abnormal to him. Of course, all the other kids looked at him funny, and never seemed to want to play. When he asked his mother why this was, she just said that they had a different family, and everyone else didn't understand. As a child, he never questioned it again.
As he grew older, though, he was met with a lot of hostility from both kids his age, and adults as well. He did understand that his family was different from the normal, but he didn't see that as a bad thing. He'd never had any problems growing up, and had loved everything about his particularly large family. He began to avoid everyone who wouldn't open their mind to him and his father's way of life. Just because it was different, didn't mean it was bad or wrong.
When he was a teenager, he found a guitar lying around the house, and even though it wasn't in tune, he loved the sound it made. For his next birthday, his father bought him his own acoustic that was red and absolutely beautiful. It was one of the greatest gifts he'd ever received, and cherished it greatly. He went through a troubled time, questioning his family and what he believed in, but ultimately figured out that he wouldn't change anything about his family or how he grew up. He even wanted a similar family when he was old enough to have one.
Now, at 19, he is attending the local college, but undecided in what he actually wants to major in. He knows that soon he will have to leave his family and become an adult, but he doesn't want to be far away. He hopes to find somebody in the town who doesn't hate his family's way of life, and start his own life with them, whoever they may be.
Paraphernalia/Memorabilia
Oliver's own acoustic guitar. He knows it's not the best brand or top of the line, but he loves it dearly.
Oliver's own dalmatian dog named Chase. He follows Oliver around everywhere, and is his most loyal friend and obviously his favorite pet.
