Appearance & Personality
Long black hair falling past his neck in the back and bangs that often fall before his eyes, Oliver's appearance alone gives off an impression of a barrier between him and the world. Beneath his relatively thick hair, however, is a man whose face is actually well kept. Free of any blemishes, his face as a whole is clear as they sky on a sunny day. In the shade, his eyes look almost black, yet with enough lighting their true deep blue color is revealed. A bit of hair clusters around his chin, but it's groomed relatively well and barely scratchy. Aside from his facial features, Oliver is a mostly average Midlander. He stands at approximately five-foot, nine-inches. He's relatively thin, but when without clothes, one can see the small amount of lean muscle he has, as well as the outline of what appears to be abs growing in, touching it would confirm such a thought, and, although he won't boast about it, he is relatively proud of the muscle.
Yet, for the most part, the impression one may receive upon seeing his hair is quite an accurate one. His upbringing left a mark on his abilities to socialize with others. He'll pour his heart out to those close to him, yet experiences a bit of trouble opening up to people new to him. Under the influence of alcohol, one would hardly be able to tell the difference between him and a social butterfly. On his own, he tends to keep to himself. That isn't to say he's rude - if someone approaches him, he'll most definitely speak. At heart he's a kind man. Oliver just isn't the type of person to approach people - he typically hopes others will approach him.
Biography
Childhood (1555-1569)
When Oliver was born in Ul'dah to his mother, Avigail Amaranth, his father was nowhere to be found, thus he was given his mother's surname. He was born a healthy child with not a single complication, a fact his mother often gloated about for the first few months. Yet, despite her apparent pride in her son, as soon as Oliver was no longer nursing about five months after his birth, she would disappear into her work as a Black Mage long into the night. On occasion, the woman would leave for days, sometimes even weeks at a time, leaving the growing boy to be raised mostly by his grandparents up until he was eight years old, when both his grandfather and grandmother died months apart of natural causes. It was only after this that his mother finally stopped constantly being away. At least, she stopped for a small period of time, but she was a woman of the world. Before long, Oliver was without his mother again, with a permanent babysitter and tutor having been hired by her so that he wouldn't be completely alone.
Despite his absent mother, until he was fourteen, Oliver lived a relatively normal life. He seldom left the house, but there was little need to. The home was stockpiled with all he'd need to live happily and healthily. His tutor, a young Keeper of the Moon known as Kaelai, brought the best out of him. With both her guidance and his own natural capabilities, he proved to be an exceptionally gifted mind. Although he didn't have many friends of his own age, the young boy found himself often smiling whenever Kaelai was around. She had become a mother to him, and he loved her as one. To him, she was the world.
Teenage (1569-1577)
Months after Oliver's fourteenth birthday, his mother abruptly returned. After speaking with Oliver and the Kaelai, she deemed Oliver was old enough to take care of himself and dismissed the Miqo'te, despite Oliver's pleas against the notion. Furious, he cursed at his mother, rejecting her role as his biological parent. In the middle of the night, he took a bag full of all the Gil he could take from Avigail's stockpiles and left to Limsa Lominsa with a caravan. After all, his mother did claim he was old enough to take care of himself, so, in his mind, she probably wouldn't even mind his disappearance. It still seems as if she didn't.
Immediately after arriving in Limsa Lominsa, Oliver traveled to the Arcanists' Guild, a place where Kaelai often talked about in her stories to him. It's unknown to all but Oliver and Thubyrgeim how he managed to convince her to accept his young, teenage self, but she did. Oliver would spend another eight years living amongst the Arcanists' in the guild, often reading all sorts of books of all different shapes and sizes.
Present
Oliver, although still considering himself a member of the guild, has recently departed to not only follow the way of the Scholar, but also carve his own fate in the world.
