Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities:
Oz is an illegal Contractor, someone able to form a bond with a Chain, which grants him strength. His Chain is named Alice, but she doesn't need to be physically present in order for him to call upon her power. Oz can manifest Alice's scythe but is unable to control its power. Because of his inability to control it, he may attack anything in sight.
Addition; Basically, Oz is Alice's contractor and he has the right to control her abilities. He was told by Jack that a seal won't be able to take care of Alice and that gives him the eligibility to take control. He also doesn't need to rely on his servant for help either. The downside is, Oz might have the strong will to summon his chain's abilities but he can't control it. This is probably because, Alice's powers are still stronger than his own.
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them?
N/A
Weapons: Probably his scythe, but he will be summoning it.

Character History:
It all started when Oz's heard the sound of a strange melody that neither his servant nor sister were able to hear. In his search for the sound, he stumbled upon a grave and a pocket watch. Out of curiosity, Oz took the watch in hand and suddenly found himself in a strange room with all sorts of talking dolls and stuffed animals. Soon, he was approached by a girl with long black hair who strangled him, causing him to wake him up from his so called "nightmare".
Later, just before Oz turned 15, everything changed. During his coming of age ceremony, the clock froze at midnight, not to mention the rest of the guests that came to watch the ceremony. The only people unaffected was a girl with black hair that he had seen before, and several people in red cloaks (known as the Baskervilles). They sentenced him to the deep dark abyss where those who commit the worse of sins are banished. Oz's sin happened to be his very existence. One of the members, a girl named Zwei, took control of Gilbert and forced him to stab Oz.
Ten years had passed above the abyss, but below the abyss, time had slowed down. Oz found himself wandering through the darkness filled with all kinds of strange things known as Chains and stumbled upon the girl he had met earlier. She went by the name Alice and decided to make Oz her Contractor. Shortly after this meeting, he was led away by a Chain known as 'Mad Baby, who disguised itself as Sharon, and was forced to make a contract with Alice to defeat the Chain. Thus, they escaped the abyss and returned to the surface through the 'way'. There, he appeared before Sharon and her servant Break, as well as a mysterious gentleman named Raven. After a short conversation, Oz agreed to work with the Pandora organization to better understand what his sin actually meant. Suddenly, the 'way' connected again, thanks to Oz's pocket watch and out came another Chain. With Alice's powers restricted, things looked grim. However, Raven had the capability to unseal Oz's contract and release Alice's true potential. This caused Oz, when he reached for the pocket watch, to remember the same dream he had at the beginning of everything. However, another mysterious man told him that his job was to recover Alice's scattered memories.
The rest of the group ventured into town and Break gave Oz and Alice a job; destroy an illegal Contractor. Break suggested that, where the Chain was, there might also be part of Alice's memories. Oz was desperate to complete his assignment because, as Raven explained to Oz, Oz only had a limited amount of time. This was due to his own status as an illegal Contractor and, if the clock on his chest made a full revolution, then he would be devoured by the seal. The illegal Contractor was located and, after a brief struggle, became an example of what happens to Contractors after their clock completes a full revolution.
Later, the group stopped by Oz's mansion, where his coming of age ceremony took place and also where Pandora (an organization founded by the four duke houses and also responsible for researching the abyss) resides. It is also an organization that Break, Sharon, and Raven worked for at one point. Unfortunately, in a sudden turn of events, Zwei reappeared to once again to drag Oz back into the abyss. However, Zwei was forced to retreat when Gilbert broke Doldum's (Zwei's Chain) strings and shot her, allowing Oz and Raven to experience another one of Alice's memories.
Later, Oz and Alice were required to stay at Gilbert's home in a town where they encountered yet another Chain named Grim. Despite this, Alice and Gilbert later split up to get food while Oz stayed behind and waited for them. He heard several bullies picking on a child nearby and decided to go stop them. At the end of that little conflict, Oz and the child, Philip, began to talk, triggering Oz memories of when he discovered his father hated him and never wanted him to be born. During this, a girl in a blue dress appeared, calling herself Echo and explained that she had been ordered to take Philip into custody under suspicion on being an illegal Contractor. This order was later proven useless as the illegal Contractor turned to be not Philip, but Philip's father. In the aftermath of the fight, Oz sympathized with Philip and tried to prevent his father from being shot, but it didn't turn out as planned... Vincent, Gilbert's younger brother and Echo's master had already finished the job.
When Oz heard about Alice and Break being captured by a chain called Cheshire, Sharon offered to let Oz go into Cheshire's dimension to save Alice. Oz accepted, and Gilbert and Oz both entered Cheshire's dimension through Sharon's Chain. Once again, after being separated for a short amount of time, Oz was attacked by Cheshire and then rescued by Jack Vessalius. Oz was told that Jack is important to Alice and vice versa. Jack is also part of Alice's memories but his consciousness is sealed inside of Oz.
While Alice and Oz took the chance to escape the collasping dimension of Cheshire's, Break and Gilbert stayed behind. However, when Gilbert used his chain to escape, Oz and Alice (in her true form) appeared during the meeting held by the four duke houses. Because of the misunderstanding, the dukes were convinced that Oz and Alice wanted to assassinate them but Jack took over Oz's body to clarify things, such as the fact that Oz is Jack's reincarnation.
Of course, it wasn't long before Oz's uncle decided to dress the three of them in wealthy uniforms and sneak into the Latowidge, a school for the nobles. The purpose of this mission was to see Oz's sister, Ada. There, Oz stumbled across Elliot Nightray and his servant Reo. It also wasn't long before he met the members of Baskerville again. After settling things (sort of) with the Baskerville group, the gang went on to visit Rufus Barma, one of the dukes, in order to search for answers about what really happened during the tragedy of Sabrie, 100 years ago. Of course, they also discovered they needed to visit Sabrie itself to uncover the facts.
The gang traveled to what was once known as Sabrie, but is now only a deep hole in the ground. After the tragedy, Sabrie had become nothing more than a poverty stricken village and it was where they once again encountered Elliot Nightray and Reo. Following the meeting, they wandered back into town and found a hole that supposedly connects to the abyss. Alice jumped in, dragging Oz and Gilbert along for the ride, where they were once again separated and forced to relive their memories. Eventually, Oz met the one and only Glen Baskerville, who was the person responsible for the tragedy of Sabrie and also Oz's father, source of all of Oz's despair and misery.
They went back to find Rufus Barma again to find more knowledge and information regarding not only Sabrie, but the importance of the four duke houses. Barma suggested that they go visit one of the sorcerers who were responsible for sealing Glen. They left the sorcerer’s home when they realized that the seal was impossible to move and headed back to the mansion. Once there, Oz felt something strange as he left the sorcerer’s home as it was the same as being at Sabrie. It brought back the memory when Alice stopped him from killing the sorcerer’s caretaker. He couldn't remember his motives.
The next day, Oz was to meet a visitor and it turns out to be Elliot Nightray. They spoke about the items that the sorcerer had given him inside the box. Of course, what was inside a box shocked Elliot and he was told to meet with Isla Yura who's in charge of a certain cult. But Elliot and Gil got into a mini quarrel. Then, their uncle decided to drag them outside for a tea party and/or an unbirthday party. Once, they enter the mansion to meet the head cult member, Yura--things were a bit uneasy. Oz had to pretend to be Jack in order to gain permission to go into his mansion where no other Pandora member had ever entered.
Point in Canon: Ch. 48, right after the meeting with Barma and Isla Yura.
Conditional: Brief summary of previous RP history:
Not much had been going on, except for the fact that Oz had been involved in a mini fight and had himself killed. The memory of who killed him was blur, but he does remember turning into a shadowy figure known as an after image. Those creatures carry the sorrow and despair wherever they go and Oz remembered the feeling clearly. Other than that, nothing else of importance had been going on.
Character Personality:
At first glance, Oz appears to be an optimistic and ecstatic person. He is very bright and always enthusiastic. On rare occasions, he shows his sad and pessimistic, because usually hides it behind a smile and laughter. Why does he do this? One of his reasons is because he refused to let others worry about him. But don't let this fool you; Oz also has a more flirtatious side, as demonstrated by his tendency to show off around pretty girls like Sharon. He also frequently flirts with females who appear younger than he is, as he views them as cute.
Another part of him is that he is very protective of his friends and those that saved him, like Alice. This makes him a very compassionate person. For example, Oz will help anyone that he thinks need help and will try to defend them the best he can. Sometimes, he will lose his temper if confronted by situations that strike a personal level, such as when he comes face to other stuck in the same situation he is. On occasion, he has shown his belief that, as long as the other person remains safe and unharmed, it's okay to sacrifice himself.
As mentioned before, Oz cares deeply for his friends, to the point that he'll put on a cheerful mask and pretend everything is fine when the opposite is really the case. The truth behind this behavior lies in Oz's past; when he was young, Oz would always work extremely hard for his father to praise him and acknowledge his worth. However, once he followed his father and heard the man say he wished Oz had never been born. Following this event, Oz began to shut all his negative feelings inside himself, refusing to show them to anyone. It was an attempt to convince himself he was happy though, in actuality, he isn't.
Another thing that sets Oz apart from others is his desire to help everyone; most nobles would never dream of helping someone from a lower status, but Oz is different. He befriended Gilbert, and frequently teases him as an expression of this friendship. On occasion, Oz acts cruelly to the people surrounding him (like Gilbert) in an attempt to a) make fun of them or b) scare them away from him. He never means it.
As time and events passed, Oz gradually changed from always being selfish to being more selfless and worry about himself more instead of depending on others when he knows that others around him might be affected by it too. It was partly what Eliot Nightray had screamed into his head and how he was compared to Edgar. He was the character who didn't cared about himself. Oz realized that and seeing other people get hurt for his sake made him want to change, because he couldn't live this way without that realization that his friends need him and he shouldn't be depending on them.
Conditional: Personality development in previous game:
Oz's personality didn't really change at all. He's still the same.
Character Plans:
Oz had been forced to stay in one weird place before and come to the conclusion that if he can get out of one place, then he can get out of another. He'll do his best to help people or try to prevent himself from getting killed a second time. He won't be telling anyone he knows about the depressing parts that he suffered back there. Maybe, adding in a few confusions here and there when he does meet people that had been in Wonderland before. It'll pique his curiosity for sure. Oz will probably ending up trying to make friends with those around him and do his best not to let them down.
Appearance/PB: icon set. Oz has short, golden-blond hair and bright emerald eyes. He stands around 5'3 and mostly wears expensive clothing, largely due his status as a noble. Despite his age, he has a remarkably slender build. He also possesses an odd looking mark shaped like a clock on his chest. It represents the seal formed when he made a contract with Alice.
Writing Samples
First Person Sample
[the video feed pops up to reveal a young teenage boy with blond hair and seldom green eyes. he looked relief and frantic at the same time.]
Gil? Did we managed to get--
This doesn't look like our world. What? Did I get...I thought Wonderland was the only place that can do that. There's more than one strange looking place?
[he blinked annoyingly and stared down at his opened pocket watch. His lips curved up in a smile]
To start off, questions. Does anyone want to help me? This place--is different, is it dangerous? What a stupid question. It's probably is. Foreign worlds like this.
Third Person Sample
Just when Oz had finally made it home from the so-called Wonderland, he was pulled into a completely different place. This new place sent chills down his spine, there was nothing of familiarity or anyone he had seen before. Maybe, he wasn’t paying much attention to the looking glass. The last few things Oz remembered was talking oysters, some hookah smoking caterpillar, and-
“The war!” He rubbed his head as he groaned. He had forgotten about arrivals. Being pulled down from somewhere gave him big whiplash. He steadied himself and tried to stand on his own two feet. The pocket watch hanging inside of his pant pocket slipped out and fell to the ground. Looking down, the blond boy bent down to pick it up. His thumb traced around the carvings before he opened it up. He wondered if his pocket watch carried some sort of significant even here. It turned into a scythe once before. Oz tried it and tossed the item up in the area and then he caught it. Nothing happened.
If nothing happened the first time, Oz tucked the item back in his pockets and inspected his new surroundings. Graffiti with weird words and saying things and those were not helpful at all. If Gil were here, he would tell him to wait where he was and not go anywhere. Oz knew to listen to him, but at this time, he should be moving and try to find some answers. Answers, he needed them before he forgets. Probably if there was a way out and if they said no, he would say they were lying. He believed in getting out the first time and he would believe in getting out a second time.
There was a distressing feeling in the back of his head, “I hoped everyone else back there had the chance of going home too.” All he can do now is be optimistic about it and smile. He’ll believe it.
