Clothing Description: O is always wearing formal British attire. He loves to wear top hats and carry canes. It is rare to find him wearing a t-shirt and jeans, but that doesn't mean he doesn't.

Flaws: O is too mysterious. He rarely talks about his past and personal issues. When someone tries to bring anything up about it, O simply ignores and changes the subject.
Good Habits: O loves to help others when they are down by talking to them.
Bad Habits: O is extremely clumsy. He'll trip over everything including air. Another habit he has is talking too much.
Fears: O has Thanatophobia. Literally. He is not afraid of death, but afraid of Death himself.

Family
Mother: Marian Swanson (Deceased)
Relationship:  O loved his mother more than anything. He still loves her today.
Father: Edmund Oldenburg
Relationship: O and his father do not get along very well ever since Marian's death. His father grew jealous of O for a good reason. Even though their relationship is tough, the father and son will always love each other.
Siblings: None. O is the only child.
Closest Friends: O's closest and best friend is Louie Bones. Another is Goliath. O rarely has living friends.
Enemies: O's greatest enemies are the Hellhounds created by the Gatekeeper who is also an enemy of O. The Hellhounds are what humans call Werewolves. They are assassins made to target Videntes.
Pet: O has a pet dog named Goliath, but this dog is no ordinary dog. Goliath is known as a Hound of God. Hounds of God chase down evil doers and send them to their rightful place: Hell.

Fighting
Weapon: O's cane is actually a magical sword named Amintah, which is Hebrew for Defender.
Style: Fencing
Strengths: Spirits can lend their spiritual energy to O and give him characteristics they had when they were living. (I.e. A ghost that was a master at martial arts could lend O his/her spiritual energy and O will gain the martial arts technique.) Another strength O has is blood. He can borrow blood from others if they allow him to.
Weaknesses: Demon blood is very deadly to O. His sword helps protect him from the deadly toxins in Demon blood.
Abilities: O has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. He can also travel to the Land of the Dead by using a locket that passed down in his family for generations. Another ability O has is the ability to manipulate blood (He can transform his blood or other people's blood into weapons.)

Background:
When O was just a toddler, his mother was murdered. He was the only witness. A serial killer, or what was believed to be a serial killer, murdered his mother, and O was spared. As the little white-haired boy sat by his dead mother, a horrifying figure approached. Even though O was a toddler, he knew who stood before him. Death grinned down at the little boy with a bone-chilling smile. He reached out a boney finger and pointed at O. "This won't be the last time you'll see me, boy," Death said. The cloaked figure bent over, picked up the soul of his mother, and carried her into the darkness. Since that night, O has been terrified of Death. He wished to never see anything like it ever again…

Until O realized he can see ghosts.

Using this extraordinary ability, O spoke and became friends with many ghosts in the World of the Living. Many people believed the boy to be insane ever since his mother's death. O's father managed to convince them that it was a stage he was going through… but O's father knew something that O did not know.

Once O turned 13, his father decided it was time to tell his son what he was. O was a Vidente—a seer of spirits. Videntes were guardians of the World of the Dead. They were given powers to help defend themselves from Hellhounds and use them to protect the Living and the Dead. O's father told O that one day he will discover his power. But until that time, his father would have to teach O about Videntes, Hellhounds, Hounds of God, the Boundaries, Angels and Demons, Heaven and Hell, exorcisms and exorcists, and mythology referring to the afterlife.

After two years, O finally discovered his true ability: Blood Manipulation. It is considered as the most dangerous and powerful ability a Vidente can receive. O could not take lessons from his father anymore so he had to travel to the World of the Dead and meet another Vidente. Her name was Madame Mizori. She was living like O, and to O's surprise she was his great Aunt. Mizori taught everything she knew about Blood manipulation and Videntes to O. But there was one thing Mizori said that shocked O: There had never been a male Vidente.

"There is a prophecy," said Mizori one night. "It tells of a male Vidente who will be the next ruler of the Underworld. Yes, my boy, you are he. Make good decisions, boy, and your destiny will come to be. But beware of the Gatekeeper for he will tempt you into giving the throne to him. If he gains the throne, disaster will fall upon the world—living and dead."

O stayed in the World of the Dead or "Underworld" for three years. He was not lonely, fortunately. His mother visited him very often. Even though she was dead, O still thought of her as a beautiful mother. O made many friends, one of them becoming his best friend. His name was Louie Bones who came to the Underworld after being lynched during the 1930s. Louie Bones is a very proud and energetic man who loves playing his trombone Starlight and singing jazz.

On O's eighteenth birthday, he returned to the World of the Living. He was not alone, however. During the years in the Underworld, O met Goliath. Goliath was a huge dog limping throughout the streets of the Underworld city. The dog was seriously wounded. Using his blood powers and healing tips he learned from Madame Mizori, O nursed the dog back to health. To O's surprise, the dog was a Hound of God and he just returned from an epic battle. Goliath transformed into his human form—a giant, muscular African man. Goliath made a vow to O, saying he will protect the future king till death.

O's father was glad that his son finally returned home. He did not like the dog, but once he found out what Goliath was, he was thankful. After the welcome home celebrations, O's father gave him a birthday present that would change his life forever. It was a silver locket with an O engraved in it. It was passed down in O's mother's side of the family for generations. It was never opened for only a male Vidente could open it. O learn the locket was a teleportation device to many dimensions of the Afterlife. With this locket, O and Goliath traveled throughout the Underworld fighting varieties of villains.

In the future, O would encounter many tragedies. He would fall in love countless times with the same woman, but loses her in the final battle. He would lose his powers. His father would be killed. Goliath would be killed. Miss Mizori would be killed. And the Underworld would collide with the Living when the Gatekeeper gains the throne. But do not fear for his story would end happily. O was destined to be King, and destinies always come true.
READ FIRST:
I am horrible with character sheets so I got some help from HgBird's demigod sheet. Please view it here: [link]

Thank you DgBird. Your character sheet was helpful even though my character isn't a demigod.

READ SECOND:

This is my male OC, O.

I took time on his story so please give me praise. I want to know if you like it or not.

READ THIRD:
Hounds of God were thought up by Neil Gaiman in his novel, The Graveyard Book. He was a huge inspiration to me, so I had to include him in my best character of all time.
