Oberon is reasonably tall, standing at about 1.80m (~6ft). He has, however, build up a reasonable figure as a result of his regular physical activities. Because of that, he sports a healthy 200lbs. He is by no means a bodybuilder, and honestly he doesn’t want to be, but he is definitely fit. Oberon usually keeps his brown hair relatively short and his beard as more of a stubble. His light brown eyes are the most notable feature of his face. He does not have any piercings or tattoos (yet).

Starts murmuring songs when he is bored.
Tends to play with small objects. (pens, pencils, stuff like that)
Absolutely awful at flirting Something Chloe loves to make fun of.

Aikido; Oberon’s father forced all his children into this at young age to learn them some discipline and self-defense. Maybe one of his few good decisions.

Most of the time, Oberon is a pleasant person to be around. He is often described as kind, confident and dependable. He is a good listener and is able to perceive and understand the emotions of others quickly. He will always try to help out those in need as long as he is able to. He usually approaches things very seriously and meticulously. He is a hard worker, and expects the same thing from anyone else. As a result, he often ends up bossing people around or getting annoyed at people who aren’t putting in enough effort… in his opinion.

He is rather quick to judge. He is very direct and, if needed, confrontational. He isn’t afraid to tell people what he thinks, even if it doesn’t make him any friends. In that regard, he is rather unapologetic. If he doesn’t like you, he’ll let you know very clearly. He is also rather quickly irritated. These features combined means he gets into trouble with other people rather easily. He has a history of getting into arguments and fights.

The Bergman family had many things: Wealth, health and beautiful children. But it lacked one vital thing: Happiness. If you were to ask Oberon, third child of this family, why this was; he would blame his father. Old man Bergman is a success story. He came forth from a poor family and worked himself up to the board of directives of a large financial group. He married a beautiful woman who gifted him equally beautiful children. But apparently it was this same success that consumed him.

His father demanded perfection from all his children, but in reality even perfection wouldn’t have been enough. It didn’t truly matter how well his children did or how hard they worked, he felt like they could always do better. But the children would not accept that forever, resulting in frequent arguments especially when the eldest grew up. This only grew worse once Oberon’s mother died, and her replacement presented itself mere weeks after her passing. And it was rather clear that this woman had been part of his father’s life for far longer. Even if every child so far did manage to follow the road to success, partially due to their father’s efforts, there was a reason why the eldest four children haven’t returned home ever since they have flown from the nest.

But there were other people in Oberon’s history besides his family, such as his best friend Chloe. Chloe might actually be more relevant to Oberon’s success than his father. The two of them lived in the same neighborhood and went to the same schools, the same college and even ended up working for the same company. It’s still weird to Oberon that their friendship started with such an intense rivalry. The two of them were always competing: Better grades, better toys, better everything. It was only at around college time that the two actually did become friends. They ended up following many of the same courses during their bachelor days and, as it often happens in an unfamiliar environment, were drawn to each other. Instead of their constant bickering they started spending time together, both leisure and study time. What started as a fierce rivalry quickly bloomed into a great friendship.

But this is not a love story. After all, Oberon is simply a groomsman at her wedding. No, Oberon never really fell in love with Chloe. In fact, the girl Oberon has his eye on was also invited to the wedding. Rather unsurprising, really, when your love interest is your best friend’s sister.

Oberon has two older sisters(Juliet & Cordelia), one younger brother (Julius), two half-sisters (Puck & Emilia) and one half-brother(Timon). His mother (Anne) is deceased. His father (Will) is alive and remarried. Financially the family is very well off. However, the family is rather dysfunctional. Oberon sees most family members once a year, and that might be one time too much.

Ehh, the only movie I’ve watched this year is jungle book >.>.
