Oswald Arthur Wilton Jr.

anxious . sheltered . sunny

Sunny, albeit anxious and often confused -- All valid emotions from someone who missed out on a few centuries. Oswald was incredibly sheltered in life, and has had more than his fair share of culture shock upon waking up in 2020 as a vampire and being thrust into a strange and complex new life. A great lover of literature and history, he's often found under the shade of a tree and a pile of books beside him. Oswald is fascinated by technology of any era, and tries his best to understand how and why things function the way they do.

Though his disposition is generally cheerful; Oswald is a bit of a crybaby, and is frequently found moping about something or another. He's unapologetically himself though, and isn't afraid to defend his honour when needed.


History


Oswald was born to an English woman who married an Japanese musician in 1837, the latter who was mostly absent in Oswald's life. He grew up a forginer in his homeland and was ostracized by his peers for his heritage and crybaby nature.

Oswald was very close with his mother and her parents; as the mother/son duo would occasionally return to London for a few months at a time before returning to their little remote cottage in the Japanese countryside. It was shortly before returning to Japan when Oswald was witness to his uncle fatally shooting his grandfather one night.

He doesn't remember much of anything after that, and his memory doesn't resume until he woke up in police custody for the murder and dismemberment of his mother...two centuries later.
