nation: République du Cameroun | The Republic of Cameroon | Cameroon
name: Olivier Cédric Mani
nickname(s): {None at the moment}
age: 25
date of birth: May 20th, 1984
hometown: Mfoundi, Centre Region of Cameroon.
occupation: (MALE) Nurse
residence: The Charleston, third floor (though he's saving up for a small home)
family: Mother {59; nurse}, father {deceased; was a schoolteacher}, two younger sisters {18 and 21}, and grandparents.
first impression: "...are you really a nurse? 'Cause you remind me of that rapper, 25 Cent."
1. Born to a father of French and Beti-Pahuin descent and a Bamileke mother, dear ol' Olivier was exposed to a decently sized array of different cultures - more so because of his parents careers. While he was able to pick up the Bantoid language of his mother's family and Beti from his paternal grandfather, Olivier primarily speaks French and English, as both languages were used between his parents and the people he interacted with while at school.
2. Mama's boy? What makes you say tha- no, he is. Behind that seemingly stoic expression, Olivier is nothing but a big ol' softie, especially when it comes to his mother. Seeing the way she struggled to take care of his dying father while still working hard to take care of her three children just about killed Olivier, as he was still much too young to get a proper job (this was made much harder by the fact that his mother continually forced him to study rather than work, regardless of their financial struggles). So, his mother played a large role in shaping the man that Olivier is today.
3. Her influence on his life is best seen in his career choice. Originally, Olivier had started off going to medical school in the United States after he finished his last two years of secondary school in France (his grandfather had him sent to France shortly after his father passed away) but, while he wants to rebuild the health facilities in Cameroon, the greed that he found inside many of his fellow med students made him reevaluate his plans. That, and he found his mother's soft and more personal touch as a nurse to be something he would rather emulate.
4. See, back in secondary school, Olivier had the, ahem, utmost fortune of meeting an upperclassmen by the name of Francis Bonnefoy. Their relationship seemed normal enough...until Francis began to get a bit too touchy. As in, there were more than a few instances where poor Olivier found himself missing one or two or three articles of clothing without his knowing how that happened. Before Francis left, the two had almost gone further than what Olivier supposedly wanted, which led to Olivier shoving Francis off and avoiding the blond until Francis finally left the school.
5. Olivier loves his job. He really, really, really loves his job as a (male) nurse. Except for one thing - most of his patients never believe that he's a nurse. Ever. Apparently, rap stars parading around in scrubs is a common occurence in the States as he's had patients accuse him of being '25 cent' and 'Skittles' and 'Lil' Snoopy.' He hardly understands the gibberish that they spout, as the poor man hardly, if ever, listens to rap music.
6. While he was a fairly short, baby faced, and slightly plump kid in high school, dear ol' Olivier had a bit of a growth spurt during his last year of secondary school. Soon after, he took up to playing football (FUTBOL) more aggressively while he was in medical school, as it was a good way to relieve himself of stress. As such, the man worked out. A lot. And. Well. Yeah. He's a beast now.
7. While he looks like some sort of badass thug that could easily smash your muthafuckin face in hurt someone or readily get into fights, Olivier is really more of a pacifist. Peace and love, that's how he rolls. He's one for keeping the peace and it's usually difficult to egg him on but if need be, he can hold his own in a fight. He'd just rather not.
8. ....as peaceful as the man can be, he's not above talkin' mad shit about people. Get a few drinks into him, and he'll be talking crap about you, your mama, and your mama's mama. At work, he'll offer fair and constructive criticism. At the bar, he'll be starring at the wall in front of him blankly while talking smack like the girls in Jersey Shore. Just. You know. In monotone. And not as annoying.
9. While he can be quite the professional at work, Olivier can be a bit, ah, shy and feel easily intimidtated when around people with strong personalities. He'll feel so intimidated that, if unable to run from the person through the use of a hurried excuse, he'll wind up...hitting on them. Using horrible, cheesy pick-up lines. Hey baby, you're so fine you make me stutter, wha-wha-what's your name?
10. Hobbies? He has them. Well, he has a knack for gardening, anyway. But Americans apparently find it terrifying strange to see a big, black man with a gang design odd hair design on the side of his head planting roses (and maybe even whispering sweet nothings to them), so he tries to keep that on the down low.
And a secret: Olivier has been going through a bit of a bi-curious phase for the last...well, for most of his life. He doesn't want to acknowledge the fact that he's been harboring these feelings since before he met Francis, as he'd rather blame his attraction to men on whatever trauma the Frog had instilled in him. But even so, that doesn't stop him from frequenting gay bars/club. B-Because, chicks dig guys that are secure enough in their sexuality that they can go to clubs like that and not be gay, r-right?
