Oliver Dodd

From Sotf Wiki

Name: Oliver Daniel Dodd

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Grade: 11th

School: Hobbsborough

Homeroom: Mrs. Laney

Hobbies and Interests: Electronic devices, machines, Science in general and as well, he has a intrest in the making of weapons.

Appearance: Approximately 6'7, with a massive scar across his face, Oliver D. Dodd would be a intimidating sight, were it not for his limp and evident emotional problems. He is usually dressed in dark clothes, although he does like the colour blue. He has shoulder length black hair, a strange feature that runs in his side of the family; he has it in a ponytail most of the time. Also, he has vibrant green eyes, a feature similar to that of Oliver E. Dodd**, however his right eye has some amount of discolouration due to a wound, the cause of the massive scar.

His right arm bone was reconstructed, with stainless steel and titanium keeping it together, a experimental treatment, as the damage would have been irrepairable. His right arm is actually stronger than it has ever been, and he has tended to favor it in the few fights he has gotten into. His leg, however, is in very bad shape. Multiple fractures and destroyed tissue cause him to walk with a cane. He hates to admit it, but he feels somewhat "lesser" than most people at times.

Although a cripple, he has extreme amounts of arm strength and is skilled with weapons of all kinds. He wears a black trenchcoat with many hidden tools inside, as well, he has made a "adjustment" to his cane. After being mugged and taken advantage of, he installed a small, battery powered tazer inside that can be activated by a clear plastic green button. It relies on battery power, and it would be quite easy for someone to remove the batteries from it if they got the chance. It is useful.

Overall, he can be described as tall, crippled, and somewhat... "creepy" Biography: Despite that, he is a suprisingly nice person once you get past the shell of emotionlessness. He is fairly well off, his father being a partner of a major company. He moved to the U.S. because of work problems, and is now employed in the American division of the company. A major event happened in Oliver's life that he is hesitant to talk about.

• Shortened Biography*

Oliver Dodd is, despite the fateful bank shooting , a optimist. He has always been that, and says that he always will be a optimist, no matter what happens. He is a optimist because he knows that in his opinion, there is no point in moping about every bad thing that happens to you, and one always has to find good things if they want to enjoy life. He is generally at home with his cat, Mr.T, when not at school. The bank shooting had many profound impacts upon his life, such as refraining to attend Church since the incident, and he has not spoken about why. Many people know him as a genius; he has been known to build multiple contraptions involving electronics, woodworking, and weaponry. Also, disturbingly, he is known to have a short temper as well as having a very low tolerance to stress. It is for this very reason he is avoided by most people at his school. The teachers also refrain from talking to him, unless it is absoloutely necissary. This is a waste. There is so much genius inside his head, but his mind is too scarred for him to reach his full potential.

Mostly, he can be summed up as a good, troubled young man with the misfortune of being emotionally scarred by a horrible event, and has much potential in life.

Involving Adam Dodd, he has not seen him since a month before he went into SOTF v1.

As for the development of the character, he was made to be the (albeit the biography was confusing, Atomic_Waffle's first writing on the SOTF board.) troubled cousin of Adam Dodd, a cripple whose short temper and unnatural combat prowess made him the enemy of Paris Persephone after a stairwell brawl. Since then, they have been mortal enemies. It is most likely that at some point in the future, they will kill each other.

Oliver's first kill was Lester Treskington, a flamboyant boy akin to Paris Persephone. It could be noted that Oliver may have seen Paris in Lester, but this is quite odd, as Oliver does not hold grudges, and he greatly opposes killing. His blind rage caused him to stab Lester Treskington to death, even going so far as to tear the poor boy in half. The psycological reprecussions have only just begun. He now has found some amount of deranged humor in SOTF, and quite simply, couldn't care less about anyone else besides himself.

Advantages: Extremely intelligent, and very strong in his arms, as well as previously being a skilled martial artist.

Disadvantages: Needs a cane to walk*, tall, stands out in a crowd of people. As well, he is very emotionally shaken and haunted by bad memories.

Number: Boy #70.

Designated Weapon: Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife

Conclusions: Well now, another Dodd has joined our ranks. I don't think that being a martial artist will help him out too much, unless whatever God he prays to (or doesn't, whatever) feels the need to grant a miracle and rid him of that cane. I'd hate to underestimate this one, seeing as dear Adam won last year's competition, but I just don't see the potential.
