Ooglie

Ooglie is a character that first appeared in Quoth the Raven Issue 28 in the Chibiloft comics. He is a Caliban from Darkon who signed on with the Chibiloft Crew.

Origins

Ooglie was born in Darkon, to parents who could not wait to rid themselves of their - in their eyes - 'cursed' offspring. To their credit, they did so by dumping their baby at an orphanage, rather than one of the worse options.

Ooglie was a kind-hearted and sensitive child in spite of his appearance. He used his strength to defend himself, but did so by restraining those who tried to bully him. His caretakers at the orphanage grudgingly recognized - and encouraged - his restraint, providing rewards in the form of lessons they might otherwise not have 'wasted' on a Caliban. In spite of this, they kicked Ooglie out on the street to fend for himself as soon as he turned twelve.

Mercenary

Ooglie made ends meet by hiring himself out, first as a day labourer and later as a mercenary. He learned the use of a rapier, having grown to admire the elegant fighting style of Dementlieuse, Borcan and Richemuloise fencers. The dimensions of his body required he use an overlarge blade, however, which earned him a great deal of ridicule from temporary co-workers.

Secret

Ooglie's dearest and most secret wish is to one day become a true Hero; righteous of heart, steadfast yet kind in his wisdom. All his efforts to better himself serve this goal. One day, he may recognize that he already is one.
