Description

ALRIGHT so I'm uploading him early, with his powers, so people can get an idea of how an app can be written out fully before the group opens! Keep in mind that he's ONLY getting two powers at the start because he's one of two Weirdos who will be attempting to drive the plot as a sort of NPC source.
IF YOU CAN'T TELL, THE PROFILE HAS FLASHING BITS SO BE CAREFUL IF THAT AFFECTS YOU. I tried to put it in the preview image too, so people would notice it and hopefully not be bothered by it. This probably looks really bad right now :'D I'll fix it as soon as I can, I just wanted to try something new and fun lkdjsf

[[GENERAL INFO]]Name:
    Oleander Orson Oakley
Nickname(s):
    Ollie, Ander, Andy, Oakley, various nicknames through high school
Age: 18
Height: 5'6"/~170-ish? cm
Birthday: July 16th

Alignment:
    Lawful Evil - You wouldn't guess it from looking at him, but Oleander harbors a lot of evil sentiments inside him. He believes that "good" doesn't win, and that sometimes you have to do things the wrong way to get the right results. With that said, he has a moral guideline to his beliefs that he follows, and would expect others to agree with if not follow as well.
Personality:
    + Ebullient + / + Flexible + / + Devoted + // ~ Proud ~ / ~ Perfectionist ~ // - Deceptive - / - Envious - / - Grim -

Outwardly, Oleander is a very Ebullient person, full of energy and a peppy attitude. He's very Devoted to those he cares about, and is willing to drop anything and everything to help them when it's needed (even if they don't ask, or maybe don't want his help). He's Flexible to different situations and can adapt easily to various complications.
Oleander has a serious Proud side, and he can get very offended and hurt if someone tries to say that something he likes isn't good. He's also got a bit of a Perfectionist issue, where everything he does has to be perfect even if he's never done it before. It can really wound his pride if he can't pick up something as quickly as he wants to, even if it's unrealistic or downright impossible to achieve. Oleander can be very Deceptive even to people he cares about, hiding things from them to appear to be a better person than he really is. He worries that people won't like him if they knew what he was really like, so he makes sure to hide how he feels if it's something he's not sure would be immediately accepted by those around him.
Oleander is an incredibly Envious person of those who are genuinely and truly happy, because he isn't, as much as he puts on the persona of appearing so to the people around him. His thinking is that if he acts happy, he'll be happy, and sometimes he tricks himself into believing it, but then he sees someone who's happier than he could ever remember being and he turns green. This ties into his Grim trait, where he thinks nothing will ever get any better and that there's nothing he can do that will change the things he doesn't like about himself. Nothing will ever change in general, will it? He'll just have to live with himself and his flaws, and live with how people will treat him because of his looks and likes and the people he's interested in, and he's helpless to do anything about it... everyone's helpless to change things they want to change, and the world is cruel.
At least, that's what he thinks right now.

Likes/Dislikes:
Clubs - Oleander has a fake ID that helps him get into clubs that he shouldn't be able to get into, and he thoroughly enjoys it. He'll go to plenty of 18 and older clubs too, but he mostly loves getting to wear goofy costumes and dance around to loud music and have fun.
Dancing - He takes swing dancing classes once a week, and he loves it. It's one of the only places he can justify really being himself and being happy, because he knows no one will make fun of him there for being so passionate about it.
D&D/Cosplay/Group Nerdy Things - It's one of the only things he can still do with his high school friend base, and even then it doesn't have everyone because some of them left for higher college in other places. It's fun! He has his favorite characters to dress up as (Bilbo Baggins and L from Death Note especially) and go to cons with, or costumes for having more intense D&D sessions with his friends, and has even tried to go to large LARP games before.
Video Games - Mostly RPG games and puzzle games, but even a few action ones will catch his interest.
Reading - Oleander can get through a book every two weeks between classes and his other hobbies.
Astrology - It's just a bunch of hoo-ey.
3D movies - Most of the time, it looks really hokey and doesn't improve the movie at all, and it costs twice as much! What the hell?
Cocky people - Anyone who's too self assured for their own good gets on his nerves like no tomorrow. It doesn't matter if they deserve it, he takes it as them trying to say they're better than him, and he hates that.
Being Babied - Just because he looks young doesn't mean he wants to be treated young. He's a man! A grown man! Treat him like one!
Feeling Weak - Whenever he loses a fight, be it verbal or physical, Oleander gets deeply wounded. It can really bother him for days or weeks at a time depending on how severe the loss was.
History:
Oleander, named after his late grandfather, was born as the only child to the Oakley family. With a loving mother who worked as an editor, and a stern but understanding father who was an uppity-level person at a national bank, Oleander never had much to ask for and was blessed enough to get to spend time with both parents. While it never felt like he had their full approval regarding his various life decisions (they didn't like how he wanted to be a ballerina as a child, or his love of theater in general), he felt confident in the idea that they loved him and would be there for him.
He thought the same about his friends, too. The majority of his friend base were friends he'd made in kindergarten and held onto through all of Elementary and Middle school, and he thought they were like the brothers he never had. His whole life revolved around this group of five or so other guys, swapping houses to spend the night at every weekend, laughing and sharing jokes and having a great time, up until Oleander admitted that he'd had a crush on a guy at one point. They'd been talking about crushes, and it wasn't like Oleander hadn't liked some girls! He just thought, maybe, you know, they would all still love him like a brother if he admitted that he might've had a crush on a celebrity before. After some incredibly rude and wrong remarks ("You only like to sleep over with us because you want to SLEEP with us!" "I bet you ogle us in the locker room, sick!" "Oh, god, I've let you borrow my UNDERWEAR before!"), Oleander ended up being outcast from his friend group and heard about nasty rumors being spread about him and why his so-called friends would abandon him the way they did. Obviously it wasn't THEIR fault, it was his! That just made perfect sense, right? It was because he's WEIRD and DIFFERENT and WRONG.
Not everyone thought this, of course. He had a lot of people, classmates who knew what he was going through, come to help him out in his time of need. The deed had been done though, and Oleander found himself incredibly jaded at the idea of making friends again. Who knows when you'll lose a friend because they find out something about you they don't like?
Eventually, the kid settled into a group of other "outcasts" that were mostly known for their D&D campaigns and constant talk of video games, and he found himself feeling comfortable enough to enjoy their company while never getting too close. After a few failed attempts at dating some girls to redeem himself, and after being rejected for being too "cute" or because they thought he was trying to use them as cover, Oleander decided that the outcasts were going to be his only source of friendship until he could either get into a fancy college far away from Northridge, or die. He wasn't going to find love, at least not a love that wouldn't get him bullied and tormented and possibly KILLED so what was the point of trying? No one would really like him anyways, not after hearing what the girls he'd asked out thought of him.
Oleander graduated with exceptional grades, but couldn't get any grants or win any scholarships to help him afford to go to a fancy university. His parents loved him dearly, but they couldn't afford to help him at an expensive college, and advised him to avoid going into student debt for the rest of his life. With no other options, he enrolled in the community college, and spent his first and so far only semester realizing that no one in community college wants to make friends and that he couldn't even get away from his original friend base. Meanwhile, over half of his outcast friends had gotten into better colleges than he did, and were gone from his life other than the occassional skype call.
It felt like nothing was going right in his life, and there was nothing he could do about it...
And then the new year started.

Other:
Oleander loves dogs and cats equally, as long as they're loving and fluffy. He doesn't like mean animals in general.
Oleander likes to temporarily dye his hair crazy colors. He's naturally towheaded so he doesn't have to bleach his hair, which is nice!
This poor kid would probably identify himself as Panromantic Pansexual, but he doesn't know enough about sexualities to be able to tell that to people. He currently thinks he's bi because he doesn't know any better. Someone educate him please-
He CAN wear contacts, but he likes the aesthetic of glasses more.
This kid has always been a huge super comic book geek and especially loves Batman. Not the Christopher Nolan movies though... just... no. Don't bring those up around him.
His attire can vary from totally average everyday person to an eyesore rainbow, depending on what he's going to be doing for the day.

[[BATTLE INFO]]
Rank:
      Amateur
Total HP:
    7HP + 0
Dice:
    1D30 + 0

ABILITY1:
      Fear Inducement
PERK:
    Status Effect: Users with any of the following abilities will add a -1 onto the rolls of any opponents who are successfully hit by their attack. This can stack indefinitely.
This ability can be used pretty covertly, as it’s hard to identify what exactly is going on or where it’s coming from. This means that it can be used in public settings without immediately drawing attention to himself, unless drawing attention is what he wants.
This ability is great for intimidation tactics, and can be used to get what he wants, or get people to back down from a fight with him out of fear, regardless of whether or not their odds of winning would be in their favor.
Because it can be used on a surrounding area and not just himself, this ability can be used to keep people out of certain areas by giving a very unsettling aura that convinces people to go elsewhere.
This ability has basically no offensive capability on its own. In extreme cases, it might be able to cause panic attacks or maybe even a heart attack, but it’s mostly harmless other than unsettling people.
The ability’s effectiveness varies pretty greatly depending on the willpower of the person being affected, and the object that’s being used. It’s far easier to get people to be scared of an unattended bag than it is to make people scared of a pencil. It takes far more work to get people to be scared of him than it is to get them to be scared of a club bouncer.
This ability has the potential to cause permanent damage to those who are afflicted over long periods of time by frying out their ability to feel fear in general. The more he uses this ability on someone, the harder it’ll be for them to find themselves scared of anything else due to the overload of panic he places on people. After feeling true, horrifying, genuine fear for so long from his ability, a lot of smaller fears and even phobias can feel less intense, to a point where they’ll go away entirely. This not only renders his ability useless against them if done in excess, but can cause damage he’s not aware of.
ABILITY2:
      Energy Constructs
PERK:
      Heavy Hitter: If the Weirdo with any of the following abilities rolls within the top 20% of their dice roll, the opponent will lose 2HP instead of 1 if successfully hit.
Oleander can create basically anything that comes to mind, which allows for a lot of versatility in battle.
The energy constructs have a natural glow to them, which means he can use them as a light source in dire situations.
The constructs are actually rather frail, and aren't that hard to break at the right angle. The longer a construct has been around, the weaker it'll get.
The constructs require a fair deal of concentration for him to maintain the energy in its shape, so having a strong distraction can cause him to break whatever construct he's made or be unable to create a new one immediately.
ABILITY3: --
PERK:

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Oleander has always loved acting, and knows how to put on a good persona when it's needed, especially if he has a costume to go with it.
Oleander can drive. This may not seem like a special perk, but it also means he has a getaway car when it's needed.
It's pretty easy for Oleander to gain people's trust based on how meek and defenseless he looks, which can be a bonus when trying to gather information.
The above perk is also a flaw. It's hard to take Oleander seriously when he's trying to intimidate people because... I mean... just look at him. He NEEDS his fear inducement to be any sort of effective.
Being a perfectionist, Oleander can start to panic if things aren't going the way they were planned. It can be easy enough to put him back on track if caught early, but it's still going to frazzle him to have anything go differently (even if it ends up better than the original plan).
Oleander refuses to change his moral guidelines, so if someone tries to tell him what he's doing is wrong, he's more likely to turn on them than he is to agree with them.
