Oliver is a tall guy with a height of 6'0 and weighs 70 kg, and has a between slim and muscular kind of body. He has a black clean haircut and brown eyes. His attire consist of a black and dark olive green jacket and matching pants with details that looked colorless, but if uses his semblance, the color will change depending on the particular element. It also acts like a meter to determine if his running out of absorbed dust like if he the color looks bright it means that he has not used his dust yet, if the color starts to fade he is starting to run out of absorbed dust, and if it's colorless there is no more absorbed dust. He also wears a light weight armor chest plate to give him protection with a black shirt inside the armor. For footwear, he wears matching colored sneakers with some armor plating with belt straps. For accessories, he wears fingerless gloves with the emblem of Atlas on it, a dogtag which was given to him as a memento from his father, and a bracelet with the word "Faith" on it.

Personality
Oliver is a friendly guy who can easily talk and relate with others. He cares for his family and friends regardless of their attitude. When in battle, he is serious and focused, and tries to figure out a way to survive and at the same communicate with his team mates to plan a strategy.

Weapon
Oliver has a thing for bladed weapons, mostly for swords. While in Atlas, he had to tryout several swords just to be able to find a suitable weapon to use in battle. Until he found interest in a common farming tool called a Machete. He made this his sword of choice because it was light weight, simple, and can be capable of doing fast slash attacks making this weapon a speed striker. The second component will involve it as a grenade launcher which based on the M79 grenade launcher with a few modifications. It has break action, a four barrel cylinder, and it fires a 40x46 millimeter cartridge. Originally, he embedded the cartridges with powdered dust to know the effects of each type of dust. But, he instead decided to use the normal cartridges since dust embedded cartridges are hard to produce and at the same time his semblance can help enhance the cartridges power. And one last modification he did was that he added an ignition trigger from a motorbike so that he could sustain the type of dust embedded on the blade. So with these modifications, it makes this weapon deal high speed strikes and AOE damage hence the name "Promethean Striker".

Aura and Semblance
Oliver's aura is dark olive green colored.

His Semblance is called Dust Absorption, which allows him to absorb different types of dust depending on the element. He can also use this to embed his weapon with dust so that he can enhance it's capabilities like if he absorbs a ice crystal and embeds his ammo, he can freeze his opponent making them vulnerable to attacks. But it has a limit. Whenever he embeds the absorbed dust in his ammo, he will lose ten percent of his absorbed dust and if he embeds it to his blade, he will lose 5 percent per slash attack which like channeling all your energy to a weapon. And he is only allowed to absorb two dust crystals making his dust storage a hundred percent.

Backstory
Oliver was born in Atlas, in a family who were war heroes. His dad was an ex-huntsman who became an owner of a dust shop instead. He and his mother met as classmates and teammates when they were still in Atlas' huntsman academy. She died giving birth to him and his sister. He also enrolls in the same academy along with his twin sister, Olivia. At the age of 10, his father decided to hire them both to help him around the shop and at the same time train at the academy. While working in the shop, he had access to dust so he's been embedding dust in his ammo and testing it's effects on his weapon since he wasn't able to activate his semblance. During his testing with the dust, the particles of the powdered dust are all over his body that when he sneezed, it activated his semblance. So when he tested his semblance, he was capable of using his body as a conduit to keep the absorbed dust. When he tried absorbing a fire crystal, he was able to throw fire balls. Although he loved the idea of doing it,he thought that the idea of throwing elements at his opponents was too common so he decided to test his semblance on his weapon and he was able to transfer the absorbed dust into his ammo which enhanced his weapon. And so he was able to limit throwing elements and focused of embedding dust to his weapon. At the age of 16, after class when he and his sister went to his family's dust shop to start their shift, they saw a fire which burned down their family's dust shop. When the fire was put out, they decided to look around the shop to see if there anything left intact. He noticed that there's a piece of paper sticking of a cabinet where his father used to keep his weapon. When he checked the cabinet, inside it was only a letter. While reading the letter with his sister, it states that he's fine and he'll be moving to Mistral to start a new life since the shop was robbed then burned. He said not to worry about him for he'll be sending letters to them both and he said that either both or only one of them will go to Vale to attend Beacon. Oliver decides to go, while her sister stays to live with their relatives and to continue her training.

When he arrived at Vale, he decided to explore around the city before going to Beacon to familiarize himself to the new location. By the time he arrived at Beacon, he knew what new things to expect from this place and he can't wait to meet some new friends to get associated with.
