[ Hometown ]: Ghulport
[ Backstory ]:

Ollie was born as Colin to Theresa and Arden Ziemniak, natives born and raised in Ghulport. His father was a renowned gang member, and his mother a simple florist. Arden was a charming man, and Theresa a weak-hearted young woman. It didn't take long for Arden to bend her will. Theresa soon fell into what she thought was love, and bore Arden's child. However, just months after Colin was conceived, Arden was murdered by a fellow gang member because of his betrayal of information to a separate gang for money. Theresa didn't find out until after Colin's birth, and therefore, had thought Arden abandoned them. She raised the young boy at home, where she lived with her grandmother.
Ollie grew up as quite the obnoxious child, he was constantly dragging mud into the house and bringing home detention slips. He never seemed to have a shortage of dubious schemes, and it was all too often that he'd be escorted home for trespassing on private property.
When he was eight, Ollie met a young boy (then a female) by the name of Sammy Aeryn. They weren't a likely duo at first, because after all, all they seemed to do was bicker and pick fights. Quite the opposite, Ollie was the king of the stage. He was friendly and popular; a natural born people person. Sammy was quiet and introverted, preferring to watch others from the sidelines. Because of their clashing personalities, Ollie often taunted and fought with Sammy. Surprisingly, he was quite the fighter. Sammy wasn't short on defenses, and had no trouble in matching Ollie blow for blow. This caused the young man to despise him even more.

Around this time, at age seven, Ollie's mother married her boyfriend. The two had met in a retro diner, where the man worked. Ollie didn't pay him much attention, although the man adored the young cat. His mother had had boyfriends before, and he saw this one as no different.
He didn't quite care that his mother was getting married; it would give her something else to fret over besides him. She was constantly lonely, and he hoped that this new boyfriend would occupy her for the better.
Ollie met his new sibling on the night of the wedding.
They were three years older than Colin himself, and were therefore much more mature. He didn't know that he would be having a sibling, and this? He was not okay with. Ollie rejected his new living mate as soon as he saw them. As a result, the two argued the entirety of the night. Ollie had found some bees outside, and brought them in.. Only to be promptly scolded by his new-found elder sibling.

Ollie and his mother moved in with her husband and his child, Rhys, within the next month.
Ollie was separated from many of the people he grew up with, and therefore, he was rather lonely. His only friends were the neighborhood children that lived around his mother's old flat; unfortunately, these children did not attend the same school as he.
Colin returned to his regular school the following Monday, feeling quite upset. He was met with his old rival, Sammy Aeryn. He was no different than how Ollie left him. Because of his horrible mood, Ollie and Sammy fought again... But this time they really fought. Fists flew, and Ollie was almost knocked out because of his weak emotional state; midway in the fight, he broke down and cried, losing all rationality and giving way to pure anger.
Ollie and Sammy were often sent to the principal's office for fighting, but this was a new high. It was such an issue, that their teacher decided to enact a plan to hopefully get the two to appreciate each other.
Ollie and Sammy were assigned a community service project together. At first, it was utter chaos. They fought in ever single discussion, and never ever agreed on anything. The fist fights ensued, but as time went on, they began to dwindle. Ollie was no longer fighting his long-time rival, and was beginning to appreciate his company. He finally realized his strength and surprising amount of intellect. Ollie soon found himself in the panic of having his first crush.
He began to be nicer to Sammy, and at the age of nine, they became friends. The two still fought, but Ollie began to relax more. Sammy brought out the best in him, and he began to realize that not everything was a fight.
With age, Ollie calmed down. He wasn't so pugnacious, and instead grew more mature. He still teased, of course, but upon his ninth birthday, he renounced his fist-fighting days. Opting to spend more time with Sammy in thievery and adventure schemes.
It was also in this year that his sibling finally took a liking to him. Rhys was twelve, and Ollie was nine. They began to be kinder, and used their older age to help him in things. One of these things being homework. Between Sammy being two years his elder and Rhys, he was able to pass his school years with flying colors.

Growing up, Ollie had demonstrated two major components: his desperate need to belong in a group, and his affinity for gang culture. Of course, being born and raised in Ghulport, Ollie had been exposed to gangs and gang culture his entire life. It didn't help that his mother told him romanticized tales of his father and the gang he used to belong to. Ollie grew to look upon his father as this great hero, and idolized him.
When Ollie was thirteen, he decided it was high time he joined a gang. It wasn't hard to find one, and after being shoved and picked at for months, his begging to join finally proved fruitful. He was taken to a tattoo and piercing artist, and told he had to choose something. Ollie opted for something small; something that would be easy to conceal. His first piercing was a small ring in his upper right ear. Feeling rather rebellious, Ollie spent the rest of the day with his new-found "family". He returned home late, long after everyone had gone to bed. Due to it being his first piercing, Ollie had not taken proper care of the hole. Overnight, it was torn from his ear after his neglect to remove it before bed. Panicking, Ollie attempted to mend it himself, causing the wound to scar and never heal. Of course, Rhys was angry with him, and so was his mother, but towards the end of the day, Theresa Utkins could no longer remember why she was mad at her son in the first place.
Life continued on with the Utkins family, and Ollie grew to be more and more involved with gangs. He ditched school frequently to participate in raids and thefts. Unfortunately, Ollie had dragged Sammy into the fray. While Sammy didn't participate as often as Ollie, he still attended frequently. Sammy was quick, and this was often utilized. Over the course of his gang period, Ollie realized that all this stupid conflict was caused by opinions. While he enjoyed the community the gang offered, he didn't much understand all the fighting. And so, Ollie became the voice of reason. He was a tactics adviser, and in the course of this, developed a rather unopinionated personality in order to effectively deal with both sides of an argument.
It was when Ollie was fourteen that his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The doctors said she had been struggling for years, and this came as no surprise to Rhys and their father. This did, however, negatively affect Ollie, who had refused to admit it to even himself.
He threw himself further into gang work in order to distract himself from his mother. For the entirety of his fourteenth year, Ollie had built up quite the criminal record. He also managed to dig up a lot of information on the various gangs of Ghulport. His long time friend Sammy, had recently told him of his transexuality, and that he was to be referred to as Chime from now on. This majorly confused Ollie. He had been confident of his heterosexuality until Chime's announcement. He struggled with this for a long time, and thus, ending up blaming Chime and alienating him from his life. His sibling tried to help, of course, but they didn't quite know how. It was soon that Rhys also declared their agender identity. Confused and feeling rather betrayed, Ollie engaged in reckless stunts. He wanted to have a reason to feel angry, and so, he betrayed his gang when he was fifteen. It didn't take them long to find out, and Ollie and Rhys were forced to cleverly avoid death threats.

When the announcement came for the train boarding, Ollie and Rhys were more than hoping to get called. Somewhat disturbed about the fact that police came to escort the two siblings, Ollie and Rhys still boarded. Of course, they were concerned for their parents, but were ultimately more terrified for themselves. Awaiting their destination, Ollie is still fearful about his old gang finding him and putting an end to his treacherous behavior.

[ Roleplay Example ]:

"As soon as Colin had gotten off the train, he knew he didn't like this place. It was dirty and worn out; seemingly looking as though it hadn't been inhabited since the 1800's. Colin, used to growing up in slum sectors, was never really was picky about his housing. He was outside most of the time, anyway. He was, however, concerned for his sibling. They were delicate, and he knew Rhys didn't much appreciate getting scrapes and cuts on their impeccable skin. There were no floors lining the cabin, it was simply dirt and grass. That would not be fun to sleep in.
Colin hadn't chosen a house as of yet, but Rhys had. They were staying with their long time friend, Harvey. Colin didn't mind this- Harvey was nice, and he grew up with her as well. She was just as much Ollie's family as Rhys.
What bothered him now, was the fact that he would have to find somebody else to bunk with. The minimum amount of people housed in a single shack was 2, and he was most certainly not two people; nor was he capable of becoming two people.
The young man looked around at the scene unfolding before him. People were cleaning up the grass in front of their houses, they fixing the boards on the sides, and some were even attempting to carpet the dusty floors. Colin could do none of this, as he didn't even have a house. He considered going to Deanna, really the only person from the train he knew. He decided against this, as although they hit it off, he felt rather uncomfortable with crashing with such a pretty girl.
Stumped, he sat in the dirt. What do to when you literally know nobody? "

I prefer not to send starters, and I will only ever send a starter if I come to you asking to roleplay / you're too busy to start. Sorry I just really really suck at setting a scene uvu''']
