Oliver has a built that is rather average nothing all that special except the fact that even though he is 28 years old he still has an amazing flat stomach. This man has muscles on him that aren't just show since he worked them all up with weights. Some say that he is a bit bulky for a guy that still goes on runs. He is what seem would seem tall for a guy that was born in raised in California as he stands tall. Distinguishing Features: There are a few things that are distinguished about Oliver. He is a guy that always has scruff on his face. He isn't a fan of shaving so his face is hardly ever clean cut. Another feature is his strong chin, many talent agents that came through the town always try to get him to model because he has the superhero jaw. Medical History: Oliver has quite the medical history. Let's say when he was in high school he was not a well behaved boy. He has been through two car accidents which have broken his arm, a leg, and a hip before and even a couple ribs. While he was in school he got in a lot of fights so he has a few scars from stab wounds, one on his thigh and one on his stomach. When he was 22, he got shot by a guy he didn't like and it left a scar on his shoulder. Therapy Records Strengths: Loyalty – Oliver is someone that is amazingly loyal until you break that loyalty. Many people do not understand that or even believe it. Most of the time Oliver ends up having to prove his loyalty to people. He’s the type of person that even after you have argued with and probably punched, he would still be there standing beside you or having your back when you are facing the world alone. He is also the guy that will treat his girl friends really well, he has been the pretend boyfriend and even the shoulder to cry on for many of them. Loyalty is something that Oliver had picked up from his father. His wife would call him the loyal dog because no matter what Oliver is a guy that doesn’t cheat and even more so he will always come back to his wife. Honest – This is more of a bittersweet trait to inherit from family, honesty, the thing that will either win points with many or create enemies like no other. Oliver is a guy that is bluntly honest. He has learned to hold his tongue sometimes but still he will tell you the honest truth since he doesn’t feel like lying or pretending is worth the pain. So if you are a girl asking him what he thinks, you should rethink that because he will tell you what he thinks with no filter. This trait has gotten him into so many fights and troubles especially when he was in high school. If you want to know the truth go to Oliver… if you don’t go elsewhere. Protective – Oliver is so protective of anyone that is in his family to his friends. He will fight to the end of time to make sure that those that are dear to him are safe. One time, a guy had cheated on his little cousin and he beat the crap out of that person. He doesn’t feel afraid to throw a fist and stand up to guard those that are needed to. However, he won’t fight all your fights though that would be so tiring. Oliver will only step in if he feels he is needed to. Level Headed – Oliver has grown into a level headed man. When he was a teenager and young adult he would give into his impulses way too much. But nowadays, he usually stops and thinks about his actions before following through with something. He had developed this after he got to hold his oldest son in his arms. He knew that he needed to change to be the dad that this boy needed and the husband that his wife wants him to be. You can usually find Oliver standing on the docks to think over things before making a decision. Intense - Many people that know or have experienced a conversation with Oliver will tell you that Oliver is a man of intense emotions. He is passionate about his feelings but won’t tell you. His body language will display everything. Oliver has always been the intense one either swimming in the lows or flying in the highs. Some people thought that Oliver was bipolar until they see that he isn’t but he is just always so intense about his life, his relationships, his emotions, and his family. Weaknesses: Women – Oliver has a huge wandering eye however he rarely acts on his hungry eyes. Oliver has/had a thing for blonds with long legs even though his wife is a red head. Many men have this love for women, so Oliver knows that he can’t get into too much trouble about it. However, if he does see something catch his eye while he is away from his wife he will go and talk to the woman but if he is with his wife he will safely watch from a distance. Beer – Everyone knows that Oliver is a drinker. He has been drinking since he was 14 years old. Many people thought that he was an alcoholic but he will always deny that. No one knows if he is or not but he does know when to stop and he does most of the time. However, Oliver loves to try new beers that come out or even try some old favorites that are rare. Many people thought Oliver is weird since his love for beer is what some would say is comparable to someone that loves wines. Oliver’s Wife – This is the one girl that could always get what she wants from this man. Oliver has never been this in love with someone before in his whole life. Many people think that it won’t last since the two seem to be so different. Oliver would do anything to keep her safe and even more so keep her happy, even if he was not happy. He feels like he owes her so much because she is the mother of his lovely children. Oliver’s Kids – Oliver was always a guy that wanted to have a family of his own. He wanted to be a better father than his was to him. Kids and babies terrified Oliver in the beginning but now that he has a few of his own, he loves them. He will play with them and spend all day and time he has with them. Some would say that his kids are the little things that turned Oliver into this big softie when he is around them. He will make sure that his kids are taken care of before himself and anything else. To him, his kids are worth everything and anything as long as they stay happy and free from drama and pain. Family – The one thing that seems to be always put Oliver through the most trouble is his family. He loves them and will do anything for them. Just about everyone knows this about him which is why most of the time when someone wants something from him they usually go straight to his family. Oliver has been threatened with his family many times in the past from his brother’s drug dealers. Oliver will fight to the end for his family or even go to jail which has also happen a good number of times. His wife is not a fan of the fact that Oliver goes through so much trouble for his family when they can all handle themselves. The Ocean – The sound of the waves, the smell of the salt in the air, to the mess of the sand that gets everywhere. Oliver would not be able to live far from the ocean. He grew up by the ocean and there is just something about the ocean in the middle of the night that calms this man down. He would never admit it to anyone but the ocean is the one thing that usually cures him when he is in a furious fight or when he feels his life is about to fall apart. Many nights in his life, Oliver has stayed in the room above his bar to watch the ocean and its lively waves as the moon light danced across it. Likes: - FAMILY : Oliver's family means the world to him. Family always has. Ask anyone about Oliver and his family. Oliver didn't care if you were not blood but if you were close to him then you were part of his family. His parents were always away and Oliver's older brother was always into drugs and drugs and more drugs. Oliver is a twin but he always felt like he had to protect everyone all the time. The Ocean – The sound of the waves, the smell of the salt in the air, to the mess of the sand that gets everywhere. Oliver would not be able to live far from the ocean. He grew up by the ocean and there is just something about the ocean in the middle of the night that calms this man down. He would never admit it to anyone but the ocean is the one thing that usually cures him when he is in a furious fight or when he feels his life is about to fall apart. Many nights in his life, Oliver has stayed in the room above his bar to watch the ocean and its lively waves as the moon light danced across it. Beer – Everyone knows that Oliver is a drinker. He has been drinking since he was 14 years old. Many people thought that he was an alcoholic but he will always deny that. No one knows if he is or not but he does know when to stop and he does most of the time. However, Oliver loves to try new beers that come out or even try some old favorites that are rare. Many people thought Oliver is weird since his love for beer is what some would say is comparable to someone that loves wines. Exercising - Whenever Oliver is feeling upset, angry, or just not right about something, he goes off and works it off and out of his system. He does some boxing that his wife doesn't know about. Just about every morning before the sun is completely up, people would see him running on the beach with a hoody and sweats or shorts on. Exercising and music always gets him through his issues rather than beating someone up like he has in the past. Oliver's Whiskey Lounge - This is the bar that Oliver has done all on his own. He had went to school to make this bar happen. He spends much of his time here. If he isn't at home or a family's house, you will more than likely find him here getting ready for the night or just relaxing shoot some pool. To Oliver this is something that he will always be proud of. He doesn't know what he would have done with his life if he couldn't have done this. He has own this bar since he was 24 years old. Cars - Oliver loves cars just as much as the next guy. He knows how to fix his own car and everything like that. But he will always stop by his brother's garage and either let his brother work on it if he isn't busy or Oliver will just go there to use the tools that he may not have in his own personal garage. Dislikes: Cucumbers – Almost any type of food Oliver loves however, those long green veggies are one thing that Oliver does not like at all. The smell of them makes him sick to the nasty taste of them. If you ever want to see Oliver turn sick in less than five minutes put a slice of cucumber in his food or to piss him off put a slice in his bar or office or worse in his car. Snow – Oliver lives for the warmth not the whole let’s bundle up and wear layers of clothes hoping that his balls won’t freeze off. His mom used to take the family up to northern California for fun in the snow but it never went well for Oliver. Either he got stuck up on the lifts or he ended up getting his tongue stuck to pole when he was ice skating. Basically he has learned that snow and ice and winter does not go well with him. Flying – Hard to believe that the man that is willing to stand in front of a bullet for someone is afraid to be up in the air to travel. He will only travel by car, train or bus or boat depending on where he is going. His father had scared him with a horror story and ever since then Oliver will not go in a plane. Maybe one day he will fight this fear but right now he will keep his feet planted on the solid ground below him. Chick Flicks – He will not watch them. The only person he will watch them with though is his wife and that is only because that is his wife and the love of his life. He can’t stand the cheesy lines to the unrealistic thoughts of how the guy will do anything and wait forever for their girl. He doesn’t see any man ever doing that. Politics - Oliver votes and he pays attention to the political news that happens however, he knows that politics and beer in his bar does not work. If you ever walk into his bar you will see a sign that read leave the donkey and elephant and whatever jackass animal that bears red, blue, and white outside. The first year Oliver’s bar was open he had about four fist fights a month over politics. He had enough and basically says that politics belong outside where people act reasonably rather than like the monkeys who wear the monkey suits in the office. Goals: Father Figure – Oliver hopes that he will be a better father than his was. He doesn’t want them to ever feel like they can’t come to him or that he doesn’t love them. That is one of the reasons he always knew that he would never join the military like his father. He didn’t want his family to go through that. He wants to be there no matter what and see every big event that happens in a child’s life from their first word and steps to their prom night and wedding day. Amazing Husband – Oliver is the type of guy that will drop the kids off at his brother’s house or mom’s or cousins in order to give his wife the treatment that she deserves. He loves to spoil his wife and he wants to make sure that she never goes through a time feeling like she is never enough. To Oliver his vows meant everything to him and he will do everything to make sure he and his wife lasts through time. Even though Oliver has made and will make his mistakes in the end he will go back to his wife and mother of his children. Successful Businessman – Right now Oliver only has one business but he has a few ideas for a few other businesses but for him one step at a time. He wants to one day be a guy that leaves his family a legacy and also leave his name in the town that always believed that he would be sitting in jail for some stupid crime he committed. He is out to redeem his past and to make his family proud. Fears: Flying – Hard to believe that the man that is willing to stand in front of a bullet for someone is afraid to be up in the air to travel. He will only travel by car, train or bus or boat depending on where he is going. His father had scared him with a horror story and ever since then Oliver will not go in a plane. Maybe one day he will fight this fear but right now he will keep his feet planted on the solid ground below him. Just the fact that he is going to put all his faith in a piece of machinery that was built by men to fly hundreds of feet in the air across the world freaks him out a bit. Loneliness - From the past Oliver knows that he doesn't do well when he is alone. he surrounds himself around those that he cares about and hopes that they care about him too. He always felt alone when his mom would be up in her office writing her new book and his father away at war. That is why he cherishes his family and will never let them go. Death - He may seem like he is brave and isn't afraid of much but the truth is, he is afraid of dying. He would wake up in the middle of the night to the night that he was shot that really made him realize that he wasn't invincible and that he won't live through everything and live forever. Secrets: 1. Oliver and his wife were separated for the total of five months when Oliver was 22 rights after he got shot. He moved out of Silentville and told everyone that he had to go and take care of some business that his older brother got Oliver into. During this time period he had been with a few women. 2. Oliver has taken an anger management course to help ease his anger problems. He took these calls in Santa Cruz and said that he was out looking for more beer options for the bar. The only person that knew about this was his wife. 3. Oliver has another name that he goes by when he is off on business trips. This started when he was tired of people knowing about his past so he would go by another name when he was traveling alone. No one knows about it but the people who he meets on the road. His alias is Brandon Gregory. Personality: Oliver used to be the bad boy that was constantly in and out of detention and jail while he was in high school and as a young adult. Many people knew that he was the guy to go to when you were in a jam or when you were looking for a good time. Oliver never did commitment back in his young days. All of that changed though when he was 22 and got shot. He is now almost the complete opposite of what he was like when he was younger. if you asked him, he would tell you that he was a man now and not a scared little boy. Oliver is the guy that will never turn his back on his troubles or his responsibilities. Faithful is not always his strong suite but he tries his hardest. He will make sure that in the end he is with the one he really loves. Now that he is a father though, he tries to be more faithful to not only his wife but to his kids as well. In his mind if you are unfaithful to one than you are unfaithful to the other one. Oliver is the guy that will bend over backwards for his friends and family. Its the one thing that hasn't changed about him since he was a kid. Some would say that is part of who he is but the truth is that Oliver is constantly trying to seek someone's approval and acceptance and in the end anyone that is really close to him will tell you that approval he is trying to get from his father. Family man is one way to describe Oliver. He would rather be at home with his family than go out clubbing or partying with his friends. Oliver loves his kids and his wife and even though he makes mistakes they are the thing that made him who he is now. Without his family, Oliver believes that he would probably be no good and be somewhere similar to his older brother. Fashion Sense: Comfort over anything else is what Oliver is all about. If you open up his closet you will find one suit and the rest are all sweaters, flannels, and tee shirts. He would rather lounge around in his jeans than a monkey suit as he calls them. Even on his so called business meetings he is in a button up shirt, jeans, and boots. Oliver believes that the only person one should dress up for is yourself and so he doesn't see the point in buying top of the line designer crap when he is happy with himself and looks that all that clothes are is a waste of money.

Oliver and his father never got along. History: During high school, Oliver was a popular kid with his crowd that was constantly playing pranks and getting into fights. His best buddy Zach would be there by his side through the thick and thin. He remembers this big prank when he stole this girl’s underwear, bras, and all her lingerie and decorated the hallways of the school with them. The one thing in High school he always wanted though was a girl, her name was Mischa Caine. He never got to have her though. Always just a make out session here or just a few nights here and there but they were from two different worlds. Oliver was the trouble maker that was destined for jail and she was the cheerleader that was destined to be an amazing journalist. Oliver also remembers how much of a handful his family was… His older brother always getting into trouble with a drug dealer while his little cousin Rae was hitting it big with the star of the basketball team Tristan Andrews, also the guy that Oliver wishes he could kill because of how much of a fake Tristan seemed to be. However even though he was in love with Mischa, he was always hooking up any girl that he could sweet talk into his bed or in most cases his backseat of his car. When High school was over though so was his life as Mischa moved out of the town to go to college. Oliver started to drink heavily and also started to get into more fights. It got to the point that he didn’t even bother calling his family to bail him out. However his guardian angel was the girl that soon became the love of his life. He would never forget the time when she came and stopped him from going crazy on this guy at a local bar. They started to date but Oliver was never serious with her. He was still in love with Mischa and in his eyes a red head would never replace the blonde angel that his high school love was. When Oliver was 21 years old, a group of friends including his love, went to Vegas to have some fun away from the watchful eyes of Silentville. Everyone had a blast but bigger than normal because after four bars, 3 casinos and a strip club, Oliver found himself inside of a chapel next to his red head love. The thing that no one thought was that they would remain married. Everyone believed that the two of them would end up getting an annulment before they went home to Silentville but the two of them decided what the hell not and try it out. But everything changed on one simple summer night when Oliver got shot. He was only 22 but it was the biggest wakeup call he had ever received. The fact that even though he only got shot in the shoulder he will never forget how he felt the way his body tensed and his mind was in auto drive with everything that he still needed to do and more importantly of everything that he regretted. After that night though his love left him saying that she couldn’t handle his out of control anger anymore even though Oliver would never hit a girl in his life. His love left him to heal in the hospital alone and at that time he knew that if he didn’t change or if didn’t start taking things seriously within a year he will find himself six feet under in the dirt. This was when he decided to change his life, not only for himself but for his family and his marriage. He moved out of town to Santa Cruz to get himself together. It was the first time he ever lived outside of Silentville but knew that he needed this to figure himself out. Oliver at this time went to anger management and trained himself to take his anger out while he was exercising rather than on someone else. During this time Oliver really began to bulk up in muscle as he was lifting weights, boxing and constantly exercising. He stopped drinking so he was at least sober every day and only a drink once a day. When he returned to Silentville, four months later, Oliver found out that his wife was pregnant. At first Oliver thought that she cheated on him with someone else but later he realized that this woman loved him way too much to ever cheat on him. Rae even convinced him that she would never do that no matter how upset his wife was. Oliver convinced her to let him move back into their apartment so they can have another shot at this. He wanted to make this work. Now father of three, a new house, and a business degree and a bar up and running, Oliver was living the life that he doubt that he would ever have. However this seems to be the year where all his skeletons come out and play with his bliss. Even the skeletons that Oliver had no idea about. High School: SVH, graduated 2001 College: Silentville Community College College Major: Business Behind the Character Your Name or Alias: Jessie Your Age: 22 Contact Info: MSN, AIM, Yahoo, PM Role playing Experience: 7+ years Role Play Sample: Growing up in the Johns family was a little weird. Most families were all happy and well normal. Nope not at this family. You didn’t hear a lot of I love yous. There was constantly a fight of some sort either between family members or from someone out of the family. Growing up for Del though was not easy. Her parents always seemed to fight about just every thing that happened. At night one could hear it all but during the day you didn’t hear anything because well no one was really around. Her father was either gone or too busy with his job supposedly. Her mom was always into traveling, Del assumed that it was some sort of family trait or something. Sooner or later though her parents got divorced and that was a flip in her life. Her father whom she used to be close with just disappeared with nothing but a note that said sorry. That was it. She was the closest to her father at least she thought so. Her mom and her seemed to argue more than the others. People used to say it was because Del and her had similar personalities but Del did not want to believe that. Once they moved to Clearwater because, Del’s mom thought it would be better to be around the other family for support and all that, Del’s mom was gone more than ever. It seemed with that divorce, Del had lost both of her parents. But no matter what Del knew she could always call her mom up and talk to her until tonight…. Finally getting to sleep by twelve thirty only to be woken up again by her cell phone going off. Without moving much, she answered the phone thinking that one of her friends were just drunk or some one messing with her. But that was not what was on the phone. No, it was Jagger and news that Del did not want to hear. Her mother couldn’t have gotten in the accident neither could her aunt and uncle…. They were Johns it was harder than that to put a Johns in a death wish. Slowly she sat up and just sat there in the dark room. Everything seemed to be so unreal. They could not die, that was the only thing that kept circling in her mind. She remembered the last time she had with her mom. That day she was at home to pick up the rest of her stuff with Toby. Her mom and her really got into it. Del called her things that she would have never done if she were still eleven or even thirteen. The look of so much pain and anger and just pain remained stuck in Del’s head. She never had the chance to say sorry. She never had the chance to tell her that she loved her after their fight. Everyone told her that she should go and apologize because that was her mom. Del always just shrugged it off and told them that she would get around to it. But now she could not just get around to it. Her mom was gone and there was nothing that Del could do… Tears began to develop in her eyes as she sat on her bed. Her watery brown eyes moved to Toby, who was so peacefully asleep. Should she tell him? He did not care much for her family but she needed him. Right now more than anything, she really felt like he was all she had left. She had siblings and cousins but they didn’t really stick but a few of them and even those few she did not talk to that much. Toby was her family for now and for as long as possible. A shaky hand set on Toby’s shoulder and slowly shook him. “Toby… I need you to wake up…” Her voice was shaky and scratchy. She did not know what she looked like or anything like that. For some reason she could not remember. She shook him again a little harder this time. She climbed over him and off the bed. “Come on… I need you to wake up please… There is a family emergency… My… my mom is dead…. I need to go to the hospital.” She choked out as she put on her pajama bottoms. She never slept with pants or shorts or something on. The feeling of something on her legs always made her feel confined. She sighed as she looked over to him. She found a post it off of the desk that was hers. She scribbled a note telling Toby to met her at the hospital. She then stuck the post it to his forehead. She threw on a sweatshirt and grabbed her tote bag and keys. Once she reached the hospital, a nurse asked her a few questions but Del blew her off. She has been here enough to know where the emergency surgery waiting room was. Everyone that was there seemed to be like zombies. She knew how they felt since she felt the same way. On the way here, she decided that she would be strong for every one else. They needed her even if they did not want to admit to it. She would not show emotion until she was home again in Toby’s arms and away from everyone else’s eyes. She looked up at the clock and it was barely three in the morning. So she found the couch and pulled her sketch book out and began to sketch. It was the one thing that kept her sane at the moment. She sketched while her parents were fighting and getting their divorce. She sketched through her break up with Isaac. Now she was sketching because of the lose of her mother. Once the clock hit ten, Del was starting to feel hungry and thirsty. She had not slept the whole time she was here. How could she… not when she had to go down to the coroner’s office to make sure that her mother was on the table and really died. She was the one that was died. Her mom, the one that Del thought it would take five world wars before her mom would even inch towards Death and instead there she was on the cold metal table in some drawer died. That was at seven in the morning shortly after the coroner got done with the autopsy. Getting up from the couch that she was in which was shared by the occasional kid or so, she looked around at everyone else. She took a deep breath and tried to figure out what to say. She had to step up and fill up the shoes over a position that she should not be in. But since Hannah or Ransom has not shown up yet, she figured that she would have to do it. “Does anyone want any coffee or food… I am thinking about hitting vending machines… and the coffee pot.” She said out loud as she looked around at the zombies that once used to the Johns members. She figured she would stand there for a minute longer before she decided to walk off to the coffee and candy on her own. [/style]
