| EIGHTEEN 5'10"/155lbs | MALE STUDENT - FRESHMAN |

[attr="class","appbold"]PERSONALITY:
- it's obvious that olly is a sociable creature, definitely in his element around other people and particularly around his fellow students. he gives off quite the air of confidence, too, helped by his rather streetwise approach to life, and it seems almost nothing can embarrass him or dent his self-belief in any way. he doesn't make friends easily - his energetic nature tends to make him too full-on for most - but those he does have are extremely important to him, and to them he is both as generous as humanly possible and fiercely, utterly loyal. so yes, he gets very attached to certain people, and should they disappoint him in some way he's prone to feelings of betrayal.
with that, however, he is the classic bad influence, prone to being immensely irresponsible for no reason other than boredom. he seems, at times, almost wilfully inconsiderate of others, and when he does make the effort to be 'nice' his calculating side emerges full-force. that said, 'making an effort' is rare for him - his laziness at times beggars belief, and 'taking the day off' just to stay in bed playing video games is a commonplace occurrence. given that it seems an immense task for him to actually focus on anything, he's easily frustrated when things don't go right. this can just be giving up without trying again, or it can be something a bit more physical - they're sporadic, but he's known for the occasion violent outbursts of swearing, throwing things and occasionally huge personal risk.

[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- olly is, as is apparent the second he opens his mouth, not american - he's english, from the city of liverpool, and is still a little surprised he's even at vireximus. it's through the 'generosity' of his mother's husband - in other words, the man's intense desire to keep the boy out of his house - that he's able to attend. he's the eldest brother of three and until his move to study in the US lived with his father and two full-blooded siblings. he also has, through his mother, a half-brother that he adores but doesn't get to see much. he's not been in america long, but he's already getting a little homesick. the biggest thing about being away from home for olly is the food - he goes through a lot of calories every day, and he misses his gran's cooking in particular. he's almost never without something in his mouth - all jokes aside he does seem to have quite the oral fixation, and is usually chewing on gum or a lollipop or a particularly mangled biro if he has nothing else to hand.
- he may be a student of the college of physicality, with a power that stems from a superhuman body, but olly's never been the most... graceful creature. at the age of 12 he suffered a particularly bad fall, sustaining damage to his cerebellum and spinal cord. his ability to move freely hasn't been compromised, but this nervous system injury has had a noticeable, detrimental effect on his balance. olly's ability to hurt himself in new and inventive ways could also be called superhuman - he's sustained injuries to almost every part of his body you could think of, and has several pins and plates in his arms and legs.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- PRIMARY POWER: olly is a speedster - he has the ability to move at highly accelerated speeds, simply through exertion of his own body. his top speed at current has been clocked at just under three hundred metres per second, given good ground and specialised equipment, but in usual conditions his comfortable pace speed is about half this. olly's body has adapted to this ability to accelerate rapidly, and he can see and react comfortably at speeds up to and beyond those he can currently obtain - as well as maintain consciousness and concentration through the g-forces exerted on his body as he runs.
