IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Oz Vessalius Age: 15 [tech. 125 due to being in the Abyss and other factors.] Canon: Pandora Hearts Canon Point: Post. chapter 79 Species: Human Gender: Male Orientation: N/A
History:here! Appearance:This but where he’s coming from, he’ll have blood on the front and back of his shirt and he was bound before arriving if that helps any?
Personality: Despite being part of such a noble, prestigious family, Oz Vessalius was the opposite of what you would expect from someone coming from a such a noble line.
Nothing ever kept him down and he always seemed to harbor a bright, optimistic personality with an almost endless amount of energy that he showed on an almost constant basis. Though as a young child, he did work hard to gain praise and recognition from the man he seemed to respect and care for the most; his father. During an incident that occurred when Gilbert [his servant] confronted his father, Oz discovered that not only did his father hate him, he hated him to the point of not wanting to ever touch him and claimed he was ‘filthy’. This happened to change Oz for the worse and after such an event, he started to believe that there was no ‘guaranteed’ thing in this world even if he accepted everything. Even if it were to be sad or painful, if he thought this way and accepted everything, then he wouldn’t get hurt even when people left him.
With such a selfless, self-sacrificial mindset, Oz first thought that in order to protect his friends and family - with himself being as weak as he was - the least he could do would be to not cause trouble and allow himself to get hurt in their place. Though this all had seemed to have changed after an encounter with a boy named Elliot Nightray. He had forced Oz to realize that the way he’d been acting was only hurting those who are closest to him, not protecting them. Feeling guilt from now knowing this very fact of what he had done, Oz then vowed to become stronger to protect his friends instead of putting his own life first.
Though, as such, there was more to more to Oz then his exterior seemed to show.
At least once or twice within the series, Oz had started to show signs of this almost psychotic side to him. The first being in early canon when he was faced with a possessed Gil, telling him that he’d rather die before seeing Gil betray him and break his promise. He took the end of Gil’s gun - previously pointed at his shoulder - and placed it beneath his chin, daring him to follow through with ‘killing’ him, a rather manic smile being worn on his face just then. This was only the first and there are several other instances in canon where we have seen him showing a very similar mentality. A recent example of this would be within Chapter 38 when Oz is within Sabrie and he is confronted with a form of left-over /fragment/ of a man named Glen Baskerville, the man’s words and actions that soon end up driving Oz into this almost manic state once more.
The same look from that first instance had returned and he insisted on that he had to destroy everything, only barely shaken when Elliot got his attention and tore him away before he could have done any more damage. To his mind or anything else around him.
However that’s entirely short lived.
Through canon, we start to see Oz start to slowly lose himself in a way and seems to sort of be going a bit ‘mad’ and an instance in chapter 38 is where that seems to start happening more and more, summoning B-Rabbit’s Scythe and going awol on the chains all around. Only Alice has been able to stop him once before. He also seems to be a bit more jaded due to everything as canon continues to go on, but whether that’s a side effect of his contract with Alice furthering itself or not isn’t entirely clear. On the more positive side of his personality, Oz was always seen to have a rather caring side to him and his loyalty to his friends knew no bounds; the two closest to him being the Chain by the name of Alice and his servant Gilbert. However, it’s with Alice that he becomes strangely protective and always has to ‘destroy what makes her sad’ without thought and he starts to lose himself and forgets his restraints. When it came to those two in general or anybody close to him, Oz was the type to be very trusting, and that he has always been someone whom had honest, sharp instincts about things and people. Though in regards to Gilbert, even though the man devotes his entire attention to him as his servant, in the past and after the Abyss, he loves to torture/bully Gil whenever he can get the chance. His favorite one is using Gil’s phobia of cats against him to bully him but he never means any ill will, doing so merely for a good laugh. Even with that, he still does remain a devious, sneaky teenager with a horrible habit to flirt with cute, younger girls without even a second thought in his head. That latter aspect of him being the only thing that has /never/ changed throughout canon.
Keeping in mind these previous facts, Oz has always been known to have quite the smarts and has been able to figure out things rather adeptly whenever the need to has arisen. It has saved him and his friends a few times from trouble, and while it can sometimes be rare to see this, he is also rather witty and never seemed to be lacking in comebacks. Even with his enemies in the heat of a battle.
When it comes to weaknesses, one could say that pretty girls are one form of weakness for him as he tends to be a major flirt almost all the time. Though on the other side, he is only human and will do almost anything for his friends to protect them. In the past, his self sacrificing attitude made that a weakness for him but he’s mostly overcome that and changed that part of him.
It’s only due to recent events that things have changed for the worst for Oz since that time.
Why his father rejected him, hated him, and what his sin was. WHO he really was.
This truth hit Oz hard and since then he’s been essentially broken.
Thinking nothing matters anymore because he’s just ‘fake’ and he’s just borrowing Jack’s body. Seeing as this body is not his but Jack’s all along and he’s just a chain by the name of ‘the b-rabbit’; formerly just a plush doll. He’s so full of self-loathing now and essentially has lost his identity – so to speak – and thinks himself as worthless right now, even if Gilbert rescued him from being killed and told him it was okay and had him questioning things.
It should clear up but it will take a lot of convincing to get him to see otherwise.

Oz Vessalius | Pandora Hearts | Not Reserved [3/3]
Abilities: Due to Oz being the chain ‘B-Rabbit’, his body harbors a LOT of destructive power and had to be sealed up back at home as left on it’s own it would have kept draining on his human body and all, but it shouldn’t be a problem since Alice isn’t in this world.
When in use of his powers, he can summon a large red scythe as well as sharp-edged chains to attack with, and he doesn’t seem himself when he does so, either so it would be wise to stay away from him in the meantime. Outside of that, Oz is rather a ‘normal’ boy to say the least. Though his travels have helped add to his reflexes becoming quicker and he’s been training in swordfighting with Xerxes Break –and losing to him, most notably.
Other: Though my link for my first person has that journal used, it’s still me xD; just thought i’d toss that out there so you know i’m not using a stranger’s post for my sample.
SAMPLES First Person: Can be seen here! For his lighter/happier side, so to speak. If you need another example, I can do that too. :>
Third Person:
This wasn’t right.
Oz mutely stared at his hand before clenching it into a fists, papers scattered on the ground and his expression beyond exasperation; mixed in with confusion. Just why was he here? Supposedly living in this place in such a nice house and not even having any memory of it? He’d half expected Jack’s name to be on the papers and yet every one had his name instead:
“Oz Vessalius”
It was a lie and he knew it.
This wasn’t his name in all reality. He was just Oz. So none of this made sense... at least on the surface. Until he then exhaled and moved to sit on a chair perched on the lawn neatly, bowing his head and closing his eyes. “It’s perfect for someone like me, isn’t it? A fake life for a fake person... haha... how fitting...” Fingers entangled in blond locks, wondering now if he should just go along with this fabricated lie or fight it. Fighting it didn’t seem like it’d work with things as it was, though.
Maybe he’d go look inside the house when he didn’t feel like he couldn’t separate his thoughts anymore.
OTHER Housing Request?: If Gilbert apps/gets in, with him would be nice? => Did you read the rules and FAQ?: Yup~ Would you like your application to be unscreened?: Yes plz.
Okay. This gets a little complicated but ill do my best :)
His physical body is over a hundred years old technically due to it being that this body of his belongs to Jack Vessalius, and Oz himself is just a chain. Jacks body is cursed to age up to 25 before de-aging all over again thanks to the abyss' powers.
As it stands now, his body's cycle is moving forward normally and Oz is physically 15 now despite his body itself has lived over a hundred years. Seeing as it's Oz here and not Jack, it would be safe to stick with 15 to avoid complications and me possibly confusing you more than I might have already x___x
