NAME: Ozymandias 'Ozzy' Allen
AGE: 32
GENDER: Male
FACTION: Tower
Appearance:
Ozzy has brown skin, towers at a height of 6'5, and weighs roughly 210 lbs with an athletic build. In simpler words, he's a big guy that's in shape. Despite his more seasoned age of 32, he also maintains relatively young looking
features with no tattoos and minimal scarring.
The rest of Ozzy's notable facial features are on his head. His hairline is receding, though he's not entirely bald, as pictured below. The color is a very dark shade of brown, looking mostly black in color until light shines through it. Generally his hair stays pretty short, as it tends to curl as it grows longer. Though overall he may look young, Ozzy still shows signs of his age. Under his eyes, which are a bit larger than normal, are age marks. Laugh lines are also prominent around the lower parts of his face. He tends to stay well-shaved, and a clean face is not uncommon for him.
Fashion-wise, Ozymandias dresses rather dull. Typically Ozymandias wears his dark-blue SWAT jumpsuit with a black turtleneck, accompanied by a well-laced pair of combat boots. This attire is durable, light, and well suited for combat purposes.

PERSONALITY
A stern yet still likeable individual, who does what must be done. Ozzy is a survivor at heart, with somewhat loose morals guiding him. While he may have a sense of right and wrong, he is no hero. This day and age certain things must be done in means of self preservation, whether it's killing in defense, stealing out of necessity, or destruction in the means of peace. But Ozzy is no sadist, and he is loyal to the higher purpose. Everyone fights for something. At one point this purpose was the law and order of the United States, but in more recent times it's the defense and advancement of the Tower.
When it comes to the greater scope of things, Ozzy is satisfied. He knows that he will never be anything more than a simple soldier, used like a pawn in a game of chess. While the leaders of the Scavengers plot and pillage, and the Tower council conspires and plays politics, Ozzy just does what he's told. Deep down he's very well aware that there's nothing in particular about him that makes him an exemplary leader, or someone who makes a major impact. Even if he was simply underestimating himself, with everything he's been though he has no motivation to make the world a better place. At least not at the moment, anyway.
In spite of this somewhat pessimistic outlook, Ozzy is not an unpleasant man. Overall he is a very responsible individual who is loyal to those around him. He has a good sense of humor, and treats others the way they treat him. Though his morals are loose, he will never murder the innocent or do anything overly-malicious unless absolutely necessary. At the end of it all, he is simply a man.
BACKGROUND
Ozymandias Allen was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to a medium class family in a decent neighborhood. He was not named after the musician, but rather the 19th century literary figure. However, growing up everyone called him Ozzy just simply for convince sake, and the nickname stuck. The first 15 years of his life were completely normal. He went to school, made friends, and did typical kid things. When his families financial state took a turn however, things changed.
When his father was laid off, they were forced to move in with his Uncle in the projects of Atlanta Georgia. Ozzy never had been in the ghetto before, and the transition was not easy. Gang violence was prominent in his neighborhood, and gunshots were a common sound in the streets. In the long run this is what motivated him to pursue the career path of law enforcement where he showed an extreme amount of potential. Eventually he became a member of Georgia's SWAT team, where he resided until the incident occurred.
Ozzy was on duty when it happened. Chaos was in the streets as warning sirens screeched, and warning messages were on every radio. When gunfire erupted, they sent in SWAT to bring order. With his unit under fire, Ozzy loaded up his M16 assault rifle and waited for the signal to leave the armored truck, only it would never come. Instead he whited out, and woke up in the current state of the world. Where he was he had no clue, as nothing looked like what it once did. Was he even still in Atlanta? What had happened? There were no answers to any of his questions, just the road and no man's land.
For about half a year he wandered, meeting up with a group of survivors in the process and having a fairly sizeable fellowship. No one led the group, it was just 14 like-minded individuals working together to find civilization. Around the 5 month mark, Ozzy and the group had their first encounter with the Scavengers. It happened at night, when everyone was sleeping. No one was standing guard in spite of Ozzy's suggestion. Raiders, now known as Scavengers, came out of the darkness and attacked the camp, killing anyone they could find and taking their goods. Luckily, Ozzy, who was still armed with his M16, was able to sneak out of the camp without having to fire a single bullet. Eventually the Scavengers caught onto his trail, and Ozzy would be caught a constant game of cat-and-mouse. Sometimes he'd loose them, doing things like setting up fake camps, masking his tracks, or even hiding under dead bodies for days until he'd loose them. For about a week or two he'd be at peace wandering until another group would caught onto his trail and the process repeated itself. During one of his closest calls, where he actually had to fire his gun at his hunters, another group arrived that called themselves the Tower came to his aid. Impressed by their skillset and organization, Ozzy seized the opportunity and joined their ranks. He's been with the Tower ever since.
STRENGTHS/FLAWS
1. SWAT Training: Ozzy has been trained how to use firearms effectively in combat situations, as well as keep a cool head under fire.
2. Physique: Due to his size and stature, Ozzy is much stronger than the average individual. He's also slightly faster, but not by much.
3. Intimidating Presence: There's just something about Ozzy that's offsetting to most people. Maybe it's his size, his deep voice, his composure, or maybe just his equipment. Whatever it is, many people become unnerved easily at the sight of Ozzy and often feel intimidated by him.
1. Paranoid: Ozzy doesn't trust people easily. He is always under the impression that somebody could be watching, or just around the corner waiting to strike. It's rare for him to help out complete strangers, or give out any handouts.
2. Survivor: Whatever it takes. At the extremes this means stealing, violence, and not being a hero. Don't expect Ozzy to go the extra mile when things look doomed.
3. Noticeable: Being 6'5 and dressing in a very specific way makes it hard not to be noticed. Ozzy is very easy to spot in a crowd, and very easy to be seen from a distance. While he's not incapable of stealth, blending into places long term is next to impossible.
SKILLS
Cooking: Spending half of his life in New Orleans, Ozzy knows how to cook up a mean meal out of anything!
