Name: Oliver Haste
Fairytale character: Pinocchio (The “Not So Family Friendly” Version)
Age: 20
Gender and sexuality: Male, Asexual
Race (human, fae, etc.): Human (connected with wooden puppet)
”Villain" or "Hero" (or neither): Arguable, so neither… I think
Appearance: Oliver stands at 5’11” (178 cm) with a slim body and an inverted triangle face shape. He has a pale, almost unhealthily white skin tone. He has a pair of brown eyes to go with his wavy and long coal black hair which covers parts of his eyes. As he is quite thin, he doesn’t come out as extremely threatening even if both his personality and powers say otherwise. He has a tattoo on the back of his neck, one of a wooden flower.
Personality: Oliver is quite hot-headed and aggressive to the bone. He’s not an asshole by birth, he just acts violently towards a lot of people as a way to protect himself from potential dangers. By him acting violently, though, did he find peace in his soul. He found that by pushing toxic people out of his life, whether it be in a peaceful way or not, it made him feel better.
Powers?: Oliver has the ability to summon strings from the tips of his fingers, controlling them like they’re parts of his body. These strings are extremely flexible and are extremely hard to cut as they’re not your typical string and is even harder than human bones. These strings have two main purposes; attacking people or controlling them like a puppet. The former would be self explanatory but the latter would need some explanation as to how it works.
Oliver is able to wrap these strings around people’s bodies. However, if he can wrap these strings around five parts (the neck, the two wrists, and the two ankles) of the target’s body, he can control them like a puppet for approximately a minute and a half before the strings would loosen and return to him. But he’s not insanely strong when it comes to controlling his own powers.
Backstory: Oliver wasn’t a fan of socializing when he was a child for every interaction he had with someone else often resulted in them leaving him one way or another. He believed himself to be a cursed child. Ever since he was a child, everyone seemed to say that as well whether it be with those exact words or paraphrased versions. They meant the same to him; he wasn’t welcome and will never be. His parents left him when he was two and never returned. The only person he had by his side was an old man who was a clockmaker named Geppetto. That man was kind and accepted Oliver the way he was.
However — there was no way he was going to forget that day — when he was fourteen, he was buying some groceries to bring back to the clockmaker. When he came back, he wondered what was with the people gathered in his house. They were guests, he thought.
Opening the door, he was shocked to find Geppetto stabbed through the heart, dead with no remaining pulse. The group of three bandits looked at Oliver with eyes of both confusion and surprise. Whatever, one of them got out a knife to initially attack the child…
Within the blink of an eye, strings tied the three bandits’ necks to the ceiling, ultimately hanging them and killing them effortlessly. The fourteen-year-old couldn’t do much but pay his respects to the old man. Again, someone left him. But now for reasons he understood but couldn’t accept. He left the house and went his way which led up to present times.
