Personality: To strangers and acquaintances, a stick in the mud would be the perfect term to describe the shorter than average boy. The first impression one would get from him is that he's a serious, no-nonsense person. He hardly smiles, never seems pleased, and outright ignores any sort of annoyance. Jokes don't go well with him, and even his friends have called him a party pooper. He doesn't generally become irritated, but a continual annoyance can lead to biting insults.

However, that is only his outward appearance. Yes, he's quite serious, and sometimes he can be a mood killer, but he's not as horrible as he seems. The determination to save his sister is what truly fuels his actions and manners. Even though he's given pretty much infinite time to save her, he still views pretty much everything unrelated to his sister's illness as a waste of time, and thus acts in accordance with that view. He doesn't mean any harm by it, but his strong desire to find the reason behind his sister's mysterious illness overrides any notion of etiquette and politeness.

One of his greatest dislikes are people who waste their time doing nothing. To him, doing nothing is like wasting the life they're blessed with, something his sister could not get to enjoy thanks to her terminal disease. He treats these type of people with more disdain, insulting and belittling them more than usual. He's a little more lenient to close friends, but may occasionally speak with them harshly to get them moving. He also dislikes most people who give his little sister funny looks, or harm or displease her. In other words, he's an overprotective-- and that is an understatement-- big brother.

Underneath the cold demeanor, Oliver is a gentle soul whose kindness and loving was tempered by the death of his little sister, Renee, in his first lifetime. To closer friends, he will reveal part of this personality, usually responding to his friends with less bite than he would with strangers and acquaintances. He's poor at dealing with feelings, occasionally reacting to teases from friends with embarrassment and denial, and sometimes child-like anger. However, the appearance of this aspect of his personality is quite rare; he's almost always preoccupied with thoughts about his sister's well-being. He's fiercely loyal to his close friends and family, his numerous repeats of life having taught him to cherish everything he has. He'll do almost anything to keep them safe, healthy and happy, even if it means he has to suffer.

Brief History: Oliver was like any normal child in a modern world. He was born in a wealthy family with three siblings. An older brother, Richard, an older sister, Rachel, and a younger sister, Renee, whom he took a special shine to. He had friends, and went to private school. Everything was normal, everything was great, and he was very happy. However, that all changed one day. Close to her seventh birthday, Renee passed out suddenly, and was rushed to the hospital. It was deemed as nothing serious, and she recovered quickly and easily from her illness. Life continued on as normal, with no one the wiser as to the tragedy that would befall them soon.

Though he was a year younger than his childhood friend Remiel, they were both in the same grade, and both went into the same university, with Remiel at age 18 while Oliver was 17. Soon after he entered university, Renee suddenly fell seriously ill, and nothing the doctors did helped her. They tried every single method they could find, but none of it worked, and surrounded by friends and family, she died a week after she fell ill.

Friends and family alike were devastated, but none moreso than Oliver, who cherished Renee the most. He became depressed, confining himself into his room, not even coming out at his family's urging. It took weeks, but finally Remiel managed to get Oliver to leave his room, if only to attend school and maintain his marks. To his luck, on that very day, a very important locket had been lost. The locket of the keeper of time, Miet. It had been dropped by his twin brother Kalio, who had been in a hurry at the time. Oliver found on the way back from school, picking it up not because he had been drawn to it or anything, but rather, his mind was elsewhere, and he barely registered picking up an object that looked like it had been dropped recently. He took it home with him, and went to sleep, never examining it.

Like usual, as he went to sleep, he wished that he could turn back time and spend more time with his sister. However, what was not usual was the locket's reaction to that wish. It granted Oliver's wish and sent him back through time, back to the day of Renee's birth. He woke up as a seven year old, not as a seventeen year old as he would have expected. At first, he was confused, wondering if this was a dream. It soon became apparent that it wasn't a dream, and he searched for the reason for this occurrence. That was when he finally noticed and examined the locket which had followed him back into the past. He opened the locket, and discovered that, oddly, it had a picture of his family in there, something that shouldn't be there. As it was the only anomaly to this day that had already occurred for him, he determined that it was the cause of this time travel, and decided to keep it close, in case he would have to use it again.

And that was a good choice. After spending a year with his sister again, as a baby, he decided he'd try to save her life by becoming an expert in diseases. He began his study right then and there, at the young age of eight. However, he was unable to learn enough before Renee's death again, and with the locket, rewound time. He did this over and over again, becoming more and more determined to save his sister with each rewind. Originally, he took notice of the minor changes that occurred with each rewind and chalked it up to his own actions being the cause, but one day, on the eighteenth rewind, in his first month of university, he was approached by a high school friend. This friend, Kurt, asked him an unbelievable question. Did you go back in time? Oliver was astonished to learn that he wasn't the only one who had been affected by the locket's power, and an unofficial club, consisting of people who had also gone back in time, was formed. It consisted of five people: Kurt, the "president", Adelina, a girl Oliver knew since childhood, Remiel, Oliver's best friend, Lilith, someone he didn't know at all, and of course, himself. Quickly, Kurt set down the club's objective: To discover the cause of the time rewinds. Oliver, viewing the club as a waste of time and a threat to his own plan, kept his distance from it, citing that he had tons of work to do and no time to attend their meetings. However, he asked Remiel to keep tabs on them, to alert him of anything they learned of and in general mislead them.

During his thirtieth rewind, however, the unthinkable happened. Renee's illness came earlier than expected, and it was not the one she had previously. All of Oliver's hard work to find the cure for her previous illness was for naught. The next rewind, too, held a different illness, at a different time. The same happened for the next, and the next, and Oliver began to suspect that something was wrong. There was no way his actions could cause her illness to change like that. So in the fortieth rewind, while still studying medicine, he began to search for the reason Renee's mysteriously changing illness, using the club as a method of searching for that reason. Even now, he continues to search for that reason.

The Locket: The locket Oliver found on the floor in his first timeline is the object that allows him to rewind time whenever he feels like it. This locket is actually owned by the keeper of time, Miet, but his twin brother Kalio lost it, and Oliver found it. The locket has the ability to travel to the past, but can only be used properly by the keepers of time, Miet and Kalio. When Oliver uses it, it only takes the soul of the locket's user back through time, and into their past self's body. Since Oliver isn't one of the two time keepers, he can't control it properly, and usually ends up bringing back the souls of other people with each rewind. For instance, Remiel has been with him since his very first rewind, and Renee's soul was first brought back in the fifty second rewind. The souls of Planeswalkers and those not originating from Oliver's world automatically transfer back with each rewind, allowing them to remember everything that transpires.

Setting: Oliver's world is pretty much like our world. As he lives in our era, vehicles, computers, televisions, and video games all exist in this world. He and his friends live in North America, and attend university. There is no magic, nothing fantastical about Oliver's world.

There is, however, an organization that seeks to eliminate its enemies through biological warfare. They have immense power over the country, economically and military-wise. To most, it would seem as if they are doing nothing wrong, but they have started to develop a special kind of virus that can freely mutate to emulate the symptoms of other deadly diseases, and the symptoms usually end at death.

Oliver's world is also connected to other worlds, and it falls under the jurisdiction of the Planeswalkers, a society of people who have the ability to travel between worlds without any sort of mechanical aid, using only their own energy to transport themselves between worlds. Their job is to maintain the balance of all worlds and ensure the survival of the universe. They do this by eliminating rogue Planeswalkers and the odd Forgotten, who don't have parallel selves or even a presence.
