Aaand here's the colored SDL profile version. Oliver in a feudal theme, although I daresay that bizarre kimono of his won't have him blending in anytime soon. It's like a kimono, native american blanket and a mexican poncho rolled into one. :XD:

Anyway, here is his relevant information, SDL-goers. :)

Name: Oliver Alptraum (He is very much a foreigner, don’t let the ridiculous kimono fool you.)
Age: 18? 20? No one's really sure.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 121 lbs.
Weapons:
- The Hari-gane, an incredibly thin needle nearly six feet in length. Somehow hidden in his wardrobe.
- A ball of thread.
- A plethora of vials filled with substances of questionable effect.

Likes: Standing ovations.
Dislikes: Being corrected.

Odds & Ends:

Oliver is a bit of an odd-man-out within the Gokiburi-gumi. Even amongst throngs of his unsavory brethren, he stands out as one of the most bizarre members, and not just because he looks as if he’s draped in a circus tent. (With a woman’s obi on, to boot. No one has ever had the guts to bring up that particular subject.)
No one actually remembers recruiting Oliver to begin with. He was clearly a foreigner, and quite obviously one or two grains short of a full rice cake. But his apparent deft skill with chemistry and.. er.. pharmaceuticals;, earned him a warm welcome and a lifelong membership in the family. From then on, he has followed them around unquestioned, showing up when he pleases, and leaving when he doesn’t.
In fact, Oliver spends so much of his time concocting various substances, that he is often covered with the remains of his experimentation, like an intoxicating cloud that follows him about. (Think of Oliver, if you will, as a toad you lick for “recreational” purposes. Only you don’t need to lick him, so much as be standing within ten feet of him to get the same effect. He might misinterpret the former.) Fighting him will be an assault on your senses, and a test of your mental fortitude. Oliver knows this, as he seems to operate in a constant state of disorientation and can easily take advantage of foes suffering the same fate, while remaining undeniably focused and deadly.
Oliver considers himself an entertainer, and it reflects in his fighting style. When engaged, he is elusive, agile, and seemingly unconcerned with the battle at hand so much as showmanship and performing. He talks, a lot, either to himself, his opponent, or whatever is currently around him. He is fond of giving things nicknames.
