[Personality] Despite being part of such a noble, prestigious family, Oz Vessalius was the opposite of what you would expect from someone coming from a such a noble line. Nothing ever kept him down and he always seemed to harbor a bright, optimistic personality with an almost endless amount of energy that he showed on an almost constant basis. Though as a young child, he did work hard to gain praise and recognition from the man he seemed to respect and care for the most; his father. During an incident that occurred when Gilbert [his servant] confronted his father, Oz discovered that not only did his father hate him, he hated him to the point of not wanting to ever touch him and claimed he was ‘filthy’. This happened to change Oz for the worse and after such an event, he started to believe that there was no ‘guaranteed’ thing in this world even if he accepted everything. Even if it were to be sad or painful, if he thought this way and accepted everything, then he wouldn’t get hurt even when people left him.
With such a selfless, self-sacrificial mindset, Oz first thought that in order to protect his friends and family - with himself being as weak as he was - the least he could do would be to not cause trouble and allow himself to get hurt in their place. Though this all had seemed to have changed after an encounter with a boy named Elliot Nightray. He had forced Oz to realize that the way he’d been acting was only hurting those who are closest to him, not protecting them. Feeling guilt from now knowing this very fact of what he had done, Oz then vowed to become stronger to protect his friends instead of putting his own life first.
Though, as such, there was more to more to Oz then his exterior seemed to show.
At least once or twice within the series, Oz had started to show signs of this almost psychotic side to him. The first being in early canon when he was faced with a possessed Gil, telling him that he’d rather die before seeing Gil betray him and break his promise. He took the end of Gil’s gun - previously pointed at his shoulder - and placed it beneath his chin, daring him to follow through with ‘killing’ him, a rather manic smile being worn on his face just then. This was only the first and there are several other instances in canon where we have seen him showing a very similar mentality. A recent example of this would be within Chapter 38 when Oz is within Sabrie and he is confronted with a form of left-over /fragment/ of a man named Glen Baskerville, the man’s words and actions that soon end up driving Oz into this almost manic state once more. The same look from that first instance had returned and he insisted on that he had to destroy everything, only barely shaken when Elliot got his attention and tore him away before he could have done any more damage. To his mind or anything else around him.
However that’s entirely short lived.
As of recent canon, we start to see Oz’s slowly losing himself in a way and seems to sort of be going a bit ‘mad’ and that instance in chapter 38 seems to start happening more and more, summoning B-Rabbit’s Scythe and going awol on the chains. Only Alice has been able to stop him once before. He also seems to be a bit more jaded due to everything as canon continues to go on, but whether that’s a side effect of his contract with Alice furthering itself or not isn’t entirely clear.
On the more positive side of his personality, Oz was always seen to have a rather caring side to him and his loyalty to his friends knew no bounds; the two closest to him being the Chain by the name of Alice and his servant Gilbert. However, it’s with Alice that he becomes strangely protective and always has to ‘destroy what makes her sad’ without thought and he starts to lose himself and forgets his restraints. When it came to those two in general or anybody close to him, Oz was the type to be very trusting, and that he has always been someone whom had honest, sharp instincts about things and people. Though in regards to Gilbert, even though the man devotes his entire attention to him as his servant, in the past and after the Abyss, he loves to torture/bully Gil whenever he can get the chance. His favorite one is using Gil’s phobia of cats against him to bully him but he never means any ill will, doing so merely for a good laugh. Even with that, he still does remain a devious, sneaky teenager with a horrible habit to flirt with cute, younger girls without even a second thought in his head. That latter aspect of him being the only thing that has /never/ changed throughout canon.
Keeping in mind these previous facts, Oz has always been known to have quite the smarts and has been able to figure out things rather adeptly whenever the need to has arisen. It has saved him and his friends a few times from trouble, and while it can sometimes be rare to see this, he is also rather witty and never seemed to be lacking in comebacks. Even with his enemies in the heat of a battle.
When it comes to weaknesses, one could say that pretty girls are one form of weakness for him as he tends to be a major flirt almost all the time. Though on the other side, he is only human and will do almost anything for his friends to protect them. In the past, his self sacrificing attitude made that a weakness for him but he’s mostly overcome that and changed that part of him.
Besides that, his fear and hate for his father is the one thing that gets to him. Because of the things his father has done to him as a child and how he refers to him, he becomes very… downtrodden or otherwise frozen in place and becomes very quiet. His sanity is also waning, what with the fact his father had recently arrived and stepped all over him and Gil had left to go after his father when he’d left. So it’s all a bit of a tender subject and his sanity’s on the edge of cracking. That and there seems to be the irrevocable fact that Oz is having trouble with the fact that Jack Vessalius [his predecessor] resides within his body and how he takes over his body without his permission more and more often. He wants to be seen as Oz, not Jack, and he’s trying to make everyone else see that.
So it’s simply broken down as such and seen that Oz is a rather complex person when someone takes apart of all of the pieces and looks beneath his falsely smiling exterior.
[Specialties/Abilities] Due to Oz being in a contract with the chain named Alice, his body harbors her power and had to be sealed as to prevent his life from being exterminated from the mass amount of power that would be constantly wearing away his body. The seal was put in place by Gilbert, using the power of his own chain whose name is Raven. Without this seal, his body - as mentioned above - has power rushing through it and in turn, it causes this contractor’s clock on Oz’s chest [something he’s had since he made a contract with Alice] to move and essentially, shortening his life.
Recently though, he’s been able to summon Alice’s scythe and her chains to use freely at his disposal and when he becomes like this it’s clear he’s not himself so it would be wise to stay away from him while he’s in this state.
Outside of that, Oz is rather a normal boy to say the least. Though his travels have helped add to his reflexes becoming quicker as he’s been training in swordfighting with Xerxes Break –and losing to him I might add~
[Affection] Lessee… Pretty much anything asides badtouching someone is what he’d do to people personally. Which means… kissing cheeks, hugging, poking, nuzzling, clinging.. you name it, which is what he’d be fine with as Oz is a very touchy-person. But he wouldn’t touch anyone the wrong way or nothing like that x3
[Fighting] Being that he was just a young noble growing up, he isn’t the strongest person around and won’t be able to really fight back unless he’s summoned Alice’s scythe. That doesn’t happen until you mess with his friends [or Alice]. Otherwise he’s not that strong and wouldn’t be able to really fight all that much.
Sooo… you can try to fight or injure or even kill him and he will fight back but no guarantees how long that’ll last with how he is XD;;;
[Other Permissions] Can telepathic characters read your character's mind? How much can fourth wall breakers say? In other words, how intrusive can another character be toward yours? If there's anything you don't want a character to bring up or know about your character, just fill it in here.
Telepathy: Yes. They can read his mind but I wouldn’t advise it. It’s a pretty messed up place in there. xD
Fourth-Walling: Try and keep it to a minimum. Oz’s mind ain’t the best right at where he is in canon so if he’s told too much… I’m not too sure how well I’ll take it xD
His Dad: I wouldn’t advise talking about parents with him, especially his dad as it’s a tender subject and he won’t take to that very well.
To those from his canon, he’ll be sensitive about recent events so that’s gonna be on shaky ground with him as well. xD; If anything comes up I’ll be sure to note it on here~
[Other Facts] Uh… Oz loves cookies? xDD;;
