IC INFO
Basic Info
Full Name: Oliver James Buckley
Nicknames: Ollie
Age: 15
Birthday: January 22
House and Year: Sophomore in Bishop
Electives: Flying and Magical Craft
Wand: 11 1/4" Rowan wood with a Hippogriff Talon core
Boggart: His sister or Becca dead or hurt in some way
Patronus: He won't be learning to cast one for quite some time, but... Monkey - Mischief, mimicry, cunning, benevolence. Humanity, nurture.
Religious Affiliation: Technically, Christian, but Ollie definitely doesn't go to church while he's at school. Why would he get up for that when Sunday is one of two days he can sleep until noon?
Extracurricular activities: Quodpot. Defenstive End/Guard for the Bishop team.
Family/RelationshipsParents: His parents have a normal, happy marriage. His mom's a little on the wacky side and she's obviously where he gets his energy from.
Siblings: An NPCed twin sister.
Extended Family: Plenty of extended family. I'm open to adding cousins, etc to be played.
Sexuality: 100% straight, thanks. He really, really likes girls.
Significant Others: None! Though certainly not from a lack of trying. Ollie is a natural flirt, but he's young and hasn't really done any
real dating yet.
AppearancePB:
Alex Pettyfer, please!Physical description:He's got an athletic build, tall, with broad shoulders. He's not quite as built as a lot of guys his age, but he's surprisingly adept when it comes to tackling/fighting, as if he's got a lot more strength than his size would suggest, but that could also just be sheer fierceness. He stands at 5'11" and weighs right around average for his height, but his personality really comes through when he's pissed and makes him seem more formidable than his actual stature.
His dark blonde hair is usually worn pretty shaggy, despite his parents' insistence that he get it cut. Girls like the mussed look, he tells them, and he stubbornly refuses to change it. His skin is usually tanned, evidence of the hours he spends outside in the summer time and he tends to smile quite a lot, especially around his family.
Ollie can commonly be found with worn or torn jeans and it's usually fairly obvious that he's been wrestling around or otherwise getting into trouble. While he's confident in his appearance, he's not focused on always looking perfectly put together.
PersonalityLikes: Charms, Flying, Quodpot, Girls, Adventure
Dislikes: History, Boredom, Schoolwork
Quirks:
+ He cannot
sit still. Some part of Ollie is always moving and you'll often see him tapping his foot or his fingers against something in class.
+ Ollie has ADD. While medication helps, his attention span is exceptionally short. He's not likely to pay attention to one thing for too long.
Secrets:
+ Ollie has had a crush on Becca Martin since he was 12. He hasn't exactly gone out of his way to hide this from her - he just hasn't come right out and
told her. It's probably not hard to guess at, but it's the closest thing to a secret he has. Ollie isn't exactly shy about telling the truth.
Strengths: Loyal, Protective, Spontaneous, Athletic, Hyper/full of energy
Weaknesses: Rash, Thrill-seeking, Distractable, Jealous, Irrational
Detailed Personality:
Daring is definitely a good word to describe the male half of the Buckley twins. He doesn't seem to have a fearful bone in his body and there's very little he won't try once, especially if you dare him to or catch him in one of his more hyper moods. He's a big-time thrill seeker and the more dangerous something is, the more he seems prone to do it. Skydiving, bungee jumping - you name it, he's either tried it or he wants to try it. He likes to do those kinds of crazy things just because he can.
He's a little bit ADD, too. His natural intelligence doesn't shine through, sometimes, because it's really hard for him to stay focused on anything for long (attention span? what's that?) and he tends to prefer action to talking or learning. He does better in applied classes, sports or other classes where he is actively doing something and less well when he has to sit still and just listen. His grades are surprisingly good, though, because he's learned to focus when he has to and he does have his ADD medication that helps when he remembers to take it.
Ollie acts more like the typical big brother sometimes. He's fiercely protective of sister and of any of the other females in his life. The boy has quite and temper when it comes to seeing the people he loves hurt and he will immediately go after anyone who is mean to Jess. He doesn't think it through at all, so it often leads to TROUBLE, but he always says it's worth it, even when he's being lectured for managing yet another detention, because he was defending his sister's honor.
He's a friendly guy, too, always seeming to be happy, always willing to lend a hand or do what he can to make other people happy. He doesn't care about being popular or anything, but if that happens as a side-affect of his generally cheerful and friendly personality, all the better.
HistoryOllie was born as one half of a set of twins on a cool winter day. He and his family continued to live in the town he was born in until his dad got a better job which relocated the whole family to Boston and right next door to one Becca Martin. Ollie wasn't very happy about this at first, but he adapted and soon came to regard Boston as home, easily making friends and settling into life in a place.
He spend a lot of his childhood playing football, baseball and any other sport her could, horsing around and acting like most young boys do. He likes sports a lot, especially the more physical ones. Ollie became a different person on the field - fierce and violent, filled with a sort of bloodlust.. it seemed only natural that once he got a taste for Quodpot, he'd identify tackle and guard as his favorite positions to play.
Ollie wasn't really exposed to much magic growing up. He's technically a halfblood, though there is a lot more Muggle blood in his family than Magical - having a distant cousin as a witch and being the only other magical one in the family hardly seems to count in his mind and he certainly wasn't raised as anything other than Muggle, at least, not until the day his Salem Academy letter came and his parents explained what that was all about.
He was diagnosed with ADD as a child, too. He tries really hard to remember his medication and stay focused, but, of course, there are some days he just can't manage to keep himself under control as well as he'd like. It's really far too easy to blame all the trouble he gets into on his illness, but, really, even without the ADD, he'd still be a thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie who was constantly pushing the rules.
Despite all this, he's worked hard to be who and where he is now. He's always applied himself to the things that matter most to him and he tries really hard not to let his ADD handicap him too much.
He tried out for the Bishop Quodpot team and was absolutely ecstatic when he made the team as a Defenstive End/Guard. He's just nearing the end of his first year of "high school," but so far Ollie is loving it.
