° Olivier comes from Petria, a closed-off country full of censorship and restrictive laws aimed to "protect" their citizens from the dangers of the outside world. Citizens of mythical species or ones capable of using magical abilities are prohibited from living inside, and if found, are arrested and thrown out. It's incredibly hard to get in, and even harder to get out. Since it's impossible to prevent all "unusual" traits from appearing, the government made a special program to protect mythicals and let them live in peace. They're lead to believe they're simply hybrids of many standard species, and using powers is illegal.

° He was raised by a single mother in the capital. They lived a comfortable life, with her working as a government assistant and Ollie having very little alien traits, making it easy to pass as a normal cow.

° During his childhood, he was introduced to a variety of fairytales and stories of mythical beasts. Some books told stories of evil and greedy creatures, abusing their power to get more and more control, while some explained the existance of unicorns, dragons or aliens as peaceful visitors. It all seemed so surreal, and Ollie and his friends spent hours watching cartoons, reading magazines and exploring their neighbourhoods in search of the mythical beasts.

° They all gave themselves nicknames based on their favourite mythicals, and Ollie was given the nickname Allen - because it sounds like alien.

° One day, his best friend Alex revealed in secret that they have magical powers because their father was a dragon. Ollie said it's silly and impossible, but their friend breathed a tiny blue flame. Ollie denied it again, creating a huge argument and causing a rift between the two friends. Alex was using tricks, a spray and a lighter, to make fun of Ollie. It wasn't funny. And even if it was true, how could he had lied to his best friend for years? The two parted ways and moved to different schools.

° Ollie was still hurt about his ex-best friend's betrayal. But the trick seemed so real, too real... But, his mom, his teachers, everyone, they wouldn't lie to him, no? He spent countless nights thinking and developed paranoia about being lied to, and started researching into conspiracy theories.

° Upon graduating biology course in college and getting a decent job in a lab, Ollie felt... empty. He was unhappy and felt trapped in his life, in his little bubble of fake-truths. Who lied, and who was right?

° They spent nights tinkering with their laptop trying to access the foreign internet and news. And finally, when he managed to do it...He couldn't take it. The whole world, full of mythicals and magic and witches? That couldn't be possible! It had to be a hoax, a joke!

° Using his mother's connections and bribery, Ollie managed to convince a truck driver to take him out. He just barely managed to sneak out past guards and all the security checks. Now free, after leaving his old name behind, Allen ventured out to learn the truth for himself... even if he wants to deny it.

° After travelling to another continent, he spotted a small and quiet town on the map, not too far from him, and decided to rent a flat there.

° Introduces himself as Allen, not Olivier or Ollie
° Not touchy, will ask others not to touch him
° Won't comment on others' mythical appearances unless prompted. Will either say it's nice cosplay [ex. Unicorn horn], or justify features as hybrids [ex. Manticora being actually a lion/scorpion hybrid. Nothing unusual there!]
° When shown any kind of magic or abilities, will either call them a good trick or go along with the joke. For example, he explains fire breathing as having a spray and a lighter, or invisibility as his eyes playing tricks due to insomnia
° Not prone to outbursts of anger. More likely to say a snappy comment under their breath
° Will try to escape uncomfortable and awkward situations by saying they have to do something important soon
° More likely to trust & become friends with non-mythical villagers, those who look like a real-life species, or who go along with him and say they're cosplaying and playing tricks on him

° In Lilypad gardens, tending plants
° In their flat, sleeping, or at least trying to sleep
° On Lilypad streets at night, going for a walk to get some fresh air due to not being able to fall asleep
° In Lilypad Cafe, ordering an early-morning coffee
° In Lilypad library, reading books and researching something
° In Val's saloon, getting their hair re-dyed once in a while

° Approached by a stranger: Will politely and anxiously ask what they want. Not very used to making friends. Will warm up eventually, especially if bought a drink or asked what they're doing/reading
° Asked for their number: Unless they talked for a bit earlier, will turn down. Not comfortable with any kind of flirting at all
° Asked for help by a stranger: Will try to ignore them and pretend they didn't hear or see anything, and quickly walk away
° Asked to hang out by a friend: Will accept, but won't hang out every day - they have to recharge socially
° Asked out: Will turn down. Allen's demiromantic and isn't fully sure about relationships. Ideally they want a best friend turned roommate turned something more, but that's a slow process and they're not positive it'll ever happen.
