[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE

[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]HAIR // black[break]EYES // bright blue[break]SKIN // black (fur)[break][break]ATTIRE[break][break]Given his... unique appearance, Ollie's attire consists just of what he's managed to put together. Hooded vests, primarily (while they don't exactly hide his face, they prove to be a small comfort all the same), simple pants partly repurposed to strap or button up above the tail to make them wearable for himself. They're not exactly designer brands, special, or always in the best shape... but at least they're comfortable for him to wear.[break][break]GENERAL[break][break]As unusual, and unique, as supers may be... Ollie himself is something even beyond that proverbial 'norm'. While he still stands on two feet at around 5'10" and somewhat lanky, still has two arms ending in quite normal-shaped hands and fingers, and still has a structure quite similar to a human's, much of him is anything but. The fur most of all, black fading to a lighter gray along the chin and down his chest, at the tips of a fluffy, quite fox-like tail behind him and matching pair of ears atop his head. Even his feet are structured almost like a canine's, if longer, making shoes quite impossible to wear. Then, hard to miss, is the extended muzzle ending in a canine-like black nose that comprises much of his face... well, for all intents and purposes, Ollie is effectively a humanoid fox. And he's good with that.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]For all his almost wild appearance might have someone infer, Ollie is... well, alright, so he is at least a little wild. He loves to stay on the move, he's highly street- and location-smart (need directions? he's got you covered), and he's actually quite friendly and outgoing, if perhaps somewhat eager to show off the pearly white, sharp canine teeth expecting most folks to get scared off by them, if they're already looking nervous from his appearance alone. He's a bit on the loud end just as well, and won't necessarily hesitate to act the part of his more canine-like appearance, whether that be through the occasional growl, or his ears and tail being so expressive as to make it harder for him to hide what he might be thinking. Add to it a certain love for music, and lack of hesitation to stick around those actually comfortable with his appearance, and Ollie could be considered fairly good-natured... for the most part.[break][break]Much like most social outcasts, however, it would be quite disingenuous to say that he doesn't have his... issues. He's ever alert for the locations of anyone nearby, for how one might react to anything he does, in part expecting the proverbial mask to come off at any moment. Such alertness tends to take its toll in moments of snappishness, on occasion turning it into something of a self-fulfilling prophecy... after which he tends to go quite docile. What hides under the unusual surface is certainly complex... and there's very much a reason he's taken to calling himself 'Stray'.[break][break]Though he may or may not enjoy pets and scratches and the like. Sometimes a bit of leisure is nice.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]HISTORY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]A normal world, a normal life... well, things used to be normal for Ollie, if not special. Growing up in a family that had a modest income at best, as the second child, meant much of what he got was hand-me-down, and neither himself nor his older sister got much in the way of extravagance in general. A minor trip here, a game system there; what one got, the other tended to naturally share. To them, it was a good life, if not special; both parents still around, compared to the rare few of their friends whose parents had split, a household in which people didn't tend to fight much, and a neighborhood that was nice and quiet.[break][break]Of course, their lives weren't idyllic, to be sure. Ollie still had to deal with being the target of the occasional school bully growing up, he still had to deal with getting his grades up (or really, even caring much about most of the subjects at school). He had to deal with an elder sister's teasing, even if she was only a B or B- to his C. Still, idyllic or not, it was normal all the same, and he could well enough say that he grew up well, with a caring family... even if he wasn't terribly academically gifted.[break][break]That was, of course, before the Event. Some of his latest memories preceding it were of his parents closely following the news that August, sometimes with... less than kind things to say about the new 'non-humans', to them, apparently popping up. Of course, not long after that came the emergence of more, and more, and the insistence that they'd have nothing to do with it. Perhaps it was just willful ignorance that let their son's... episodes at night slide, complaining of tingling, itching, and even pain. Of his appearance starting to change, subtly at first, until he was the one to will it out the rest of the way, in a sense.[break][break]From there, though, there really was no turning back. He didn't even have to look in a mirror to tell him all he needed to know; he didn't have to go to his parents to know that they would hate it, that he wouldn't be safe in his home any longer. So he ran, faster and further than he'd ever managed to before, and in fact far more free than he'd felt in quite a while. Part of him imagined that there might have been a way to shift back ever since... but if he was going to be called 'non-human' by folks like his parents, he might as well look the part. Thus the 'Stray' was effectively born. A street-dweller, for all intents and purposes, which isn't exactly the most... glamorous life he could imagine, but at least he stays mostly out of trouble. Anything beyond that just depends what he feels like doing... including subsisting on odd jobs he can pick up here and there ever since.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]POWER

[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]FOX SHIFT[break][break]Unlike many, Ollie's ability is worn on his sleeve... and face, and really everywhere else. Of course, making him look quite unique is the most obvious part; perhaps slightly less so is the enhanced sight, smell, and hearing that come right along with it. Still less obvious is the increased reflexes that go along with those, often able to pick up on little sounds that would let him react more quickly than normal people. Add to it a high degree of agility, speed, and physical stamina, and... well, he's far from the strongest super on the block, but his abilities let him get around the streets quite well, along with making him quite a proficient tracker and quite not bothered by colder weather.[break][break] LIMITS[break][break]While his senses might be particularly good, they're hardly infallible; he still can't hear/smell or make out indistinct sounds or smells, and he's not immune to being snuck up on if one is careful and prepared enough. As far as agility goes, as much as he can bend, he can still very much break; his bone structure is only so much stronger than a regular human's. And stamina-wise, he still needs a decent share of food and water to keep going, just like anyone else. And speed-wise, while he can move faster than even top human track runners, his upper limit is somewhere around 60mph; nowhere close to what one might really consider 'superspeed'.[break][break]WEAKNESSES[break][break]While many might love super hearing and smell... Ollie is both a fan and not a fan at the same time. As each sense comes in stronger than normal humans, it also makes his nose and ears quite more sensitive to stronger smells or louder noises, that could well enough either make him sick in the former case, or deafen or even knock him out in the latter case. For a still less obvious weakness, however: extreme heat. While his fur insulates himself quite well from the cold, it also makes it quite possible for him to overheat in such hot conditions.[break][break]
