Age: 25
Affiliation: Insomnia
-Afina’s older brother, so also part of House Silver. Being older than her, he’s tagged along on his father’s diplomatic adventures for much longer.
-Actually, he was technically born in Insomnia since that was his father’s first tour of duty as a diplomat.
-A true free spirit and independent thinker, he’s actually a lot like Rudy in that he’s pretty matter-of-fact and speaks plainly.
-He hates liars, and tries to figure out the truth of any story.
-Though his name is Ozias, Afina had trouble pronouncing it when she was younger and kept calling him ‘Oasis’…. And the nickname stuck. Afina usually calls him Oasis, and his pen name is Oasis too.
-As he was 20 when he accompanied his family to their second tour in Insomnia five years ago, he was old enough to get a job.
-Though drawn to investigative journalism, it was hard for him to get any job. He would write blog articles instead of being published in the paper.
-Like his sister Afina, Ozias doesn’t hold any particular loyalty to Silver and views it objectively, even though their family benefits greatly from the oligarchy.
-Ellis one day offered to have him write the Silver-language version of the Insomnian Times, something that has never been done before.
-He’s also worked with Ruairi to translate his podcast into the Silver language to make it more widely reachable to the Silver people.
-When their father returned to Silver as tensions escalated, Ozias stayed in Insomnia – not because he couldn’t do the work from Platina – but moreso because he’s worried about Afina.
-Doubly so when she decided to join the ISDF.
-Now more personally motivated to try and do what he can to influence the war, he works closely with Ruairi and Sylke to distribute the propaganda Ellis wants to Silver.
-The propaganda goes under his pseudonym, ‘Oasis Argent’.
-As an investigative journalist, he’s no fool – he had done an article on Carine’s bar after hearing it was run by a woman from Silver. He interviewed her briefly, and immediately connected the dots.
-He didn’t run that article, nor did he tell Ellis he figured it out. What kind of chaos would happen if Insomnia figured out their Mayor was dating a former oligarch? And a Silver, no less?
-Carine was a bit drunk at the time of the interview and didn’t realize she was speaking to a Silver, either. Ozias picked up the idea of wearing sunglasses to obscure his Silver features from her.
-Sure, Ozias is focusing on pushing propaganda and supporting Afina, but… there are so many mysteries to Insomnia. His next side gig is trying to figure out what the truth is behind the Second Ascension…
-Once asked Chelsea out… I’ll let you decide how that ended.
