Ozzie blames himself for his father's death.

Ozzy loves wearing jeans and t-shirts, anything that he can run and climb in, due to his laid back attitude and active nature. He refuses to wear any type of formal clothing as it's too restrictive.He has a fair amount of intelligence and resourcefulness, as his skill with coming up with weapons of last resort shows.He is a very skilled with electronics, enjoys the challenge of putting things together that no one else can, loves pitting his brain and his skills against others.Oz also has a tendency to crack jokes when frightened in order to cover the fact up, unless he’s pushed to the point of total freak out, in which case well, he screams rather well. He also has a love of blowing shit up.

-Background:

Born and raised in Los Angelos California, Ozzie or Oz for short grew up happy for the first four years of his life, then all hell broke loose. The global warming scared everyone and Oz was to young to understand what was going on. There was disease and droughts, so many things he didn't understand, despite all the hardships his family faced they did everything they could to take care of him and his baby sister. When news of the meteor was let out there was mass panic, riots, people raving in the streets that the end of the world was coming.

Admist all the chaos his family managed to survive, survived the darkness that took over the earth from the dust cloud and nightmarish monsters that rose from the ground to kill the humans that were left. They took refuge with other humans and a band of Dilectu vampires and stayed there for several years in relative peace. Oz learned everything he could from the few vampires and humans that could tolerate his never ending questions. During the years spent with the Dilectu vampires, Ozzie found he had some skill tinkering with electronics and making improvised explosive devices, which made him handy when it came to setting up defenses for their odd tribe of humans and vampires. Through the years his family stayed with the Dilectu vampires, their tribe was constantly plagued by gangs of vampires and lycans, bringing the number of humans in the tribe down further. In one attack Ozzie's father was killed.

In the years following his fathers death Oz tried to get news of what was going on outside their little tribe, he'd heard stories of how Las Vegas was the last city in the world and the haven for humans at the Hoover Dam. Both places sounded better than the hole in the ground his family was surviving in. Wanting to make their lives easier Ozzie ventured out every chance he got to scrounge for provisions and other useful things. On one of his outtings Oz wandered farther than normal as he'd searched most the areas close by, on his way back he knew immediately that something was wrong. The sentries weren't at their posts, weren't there to warn the others of approaching danger. That alone had Oz thinking the worst, but maybe they'd just gone to the bathroom or something.

Knowing what he'd find as soon as he entered the hideout Oz avoided looking at bodies while trying to find the ones that mattered most to him. He didn't find them, not at first. They were towards the back, near one of the many exits they kept for emergencies in attacks like this. Oz couldn't afford to take the time to bury them properly but he did it anyway, it was the least he could do and it gave him time to not think as he dug the graves. By sundown the next day he knew he had to leave, there was no way he could stay. It wasn't safe anymore. There was no telling if he'd be welcome in the sparse human tribes in the area, but he had to do something, and his options weren't good. He could try and make it to the Hoover Dam where the Progency and Human Resistance were, or he could turn himself into the Sanguine and hope they didn't kill him. Ozzie didn't like either option, but he had to do something.
