Oscar Oddmund

Lazy, half-lidded and down-turned eyes as though he was just waking up from another aftermath of an afterparty; soft, full-formed lips with a cleft or a line down the centre of his bottom lip. A famous writer once said that this was the mark of a sexual gourmand. They're bursting with colour and form in a way that makes him look a little boyish, a little feminine. If you tell him that his lips look girly, he would probably say knock it off and push you back playfully but too hard still. He doesn't like to be made effeminate; no American-blooded jock does.

Messy, half-slicked back hair, broad shoulders, long and muscular arms and a tall stature that is mostly made up of leg, but not too tall to intimidate or have comments made about his stature. His skin is soft despite his body being hard and lean.

His appearance is as though it were a dream. Wonderful, but hard to retain and imagine in your mind when the event was over. He's the kind of guy that you would have no hesitation in introducing to your parents, but at the same time his reputation destroys his image in iconoclastic savagery, so it's hard to even get near him with sheer rumour of his conquests and crusades.
​

He's friendly and a joker. Some people would find his very image vapid and shallow, lacking any substance or taste. They're certainly not wrong. He is perhaps the very reason why introverts think extroverts are loud, party-loving shallow troglodytes that are allergic to literature. He would probably grow up to make a great politician: slippery, charismatic, a liar, American. Despite this, he talks in a surprisingly tender and sedative tone, making people believe that despite his fiery passion, he's cool on the outside.

Despite rumours and reputations of being a heartbreaker and prioritising sport over study, he's hard-working and knows the meaning of toil. He is a part-time college student, full-time Janitor, and a casual / part-time body double for a well-known acting and modelling agency. Not to mention, he's also found work in other places.

Attending school to him is just a prerequisite, and he boldly grasps every day with enthusiasm. It's a wonder how he even manages to fit in rest and free time. He's got boundless energy to spare for himself and for others. His secret is simple: sacrifice studying. His grades are notoriously bad, which is one of the rumours that actually turns out to be true.

If he touches someone, or is touched by someone, he is able to use their power for a short time, or until someone else touches him again. Currently, the maximum amount of time he's able to use someone else's power is for fifteen minutes. He cannot copy species abilities. Since he's using other peoples' powers, he himself doesn't know the limitations, weaknesses or scope of how they work.
​

Similar to how his primary ability works, if he touches someone, he's also able to have access to their non-supernatural techniques and feats. He's able to copy up to three. These could be skills such as lock-picking, piano-playing or pro-fencing. He's able to use them for forty minutes at a time. So for example, he could play the piano for forty minutes, and then go pro-fencing for another forty minutes, and so on. Melée combative-related techniques last for only five minutes, perhaps due to the increased contact diminishing the time limit.
​

Can alter his appearance by eating something that belonged to that person's body: this can be blood, hair, skin cells, saliva, toenail clippings, etc. It can only last for about one hour to five hours before the effects wear off, and depending how much he was able to ingest. Transfer of saliva would grant him one hour, but drinking two tablespoons of blood would get him as long as five hours.
​

He was born in the American Heartland, but moved to the upper-midwest of the United States when he was about eight years old. That was around the time his powers manifested. At first, he was able to use his powers to his advantage in school and become naturally good at almost anything he tried, by knowing the skills and strengths of his classmates. For doing this, he became well-liked throughout elementary and middle school. He started to play Ice Hockey in middle school, but he would often use his powers to 'cheat'.

It was only when he was sixteen that he realised the sheer negligence he was causing. A novice driver that got his license through cheating his skill level, he totalled his parents' car, and severely injured another passenger critically in a broadsided collision after driving for a long period of time. He started working to pay off the damage costs for both his car and his victim's car repairs and medical bills.

From then on, he decided to live life earnestly, and started from scratch with Hockey. He lost popularity and friends by his sudden drop in skill, but became honest with the captain about his powers and his behaviour. With the support from the captain, he earnestly became a good hockey player.

Unfortunately, he still finds his powers to be a bad habit he can't break, relapsing into use whenever convenient for him. The trauma from the car accident still lingers within him. He received word of Starlight Academy, and decided ultimately to go there instead of pursue a college scholarship based on his sportsmanship. Unfortunately, island life made him easy-going in some sense of the word, and he picked up the janitor job after changing to part-time study in his second year, feeling the academic workload as a student too severe on his mental ability. He's exploring the island as he sees fit, and there are so many opportunities that intrigue him.
