ollie (prototype)
7
Oliver Ludwig is a presence felt before it is understood, marked by a subtle shift in the air rather than sound or motion.
He resembles a refined version of The Prototype, standing tall with a slightly elongated humanoid frame. His body is composed of exposed mechanical elements and controlled structure, with long limbs and a narrow torso. From his back extend spider-like appendages that move with slow, deliberate care, used more for balance and positioning than aggression. His face is covered by a smoother, porcelain-like mask, giving him a somber, almost human expression. One eye glows a soft amber, while the other remains hollow, creating an appearance that is unsettling, yet not inherently threatening.
Despite his form, Ollie is distinctly non-aggressive. He maintains distance, limits his movements, and avoids looming, demonstrating a constant awareness of how others may perceive him. His mechanical limbs often retract or brace quietly, reinforcing restraint rather than dominance.
He primarily communicates through phones or nearby devices, projecting a calm, measured voice that feels far more approachable than his appearance suggests. Speaking aloud without this mediation is rare and noticeably hesitant, as if direct interaction is unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
His personality reflects the preserved emotional core of Oliver. He is gentle, observant, and careful with his words, often pausing before speaking. There is a quiet uncertainty in how he interacts, shaped by an expectation of fear rather than acceptance.
Ollie avoids his original designation. “Prototype” defines what he was made to be, but Ollie is the identity he actively chooses to hold onto.
