Given Name: Odd Della-Robbia.
Nickname(s): N/A.
Gender: Male.
Sexuality: He has not a clue.
Age: Almost 14 years old.
Race: Human (Italian/French).
Home Town: Sienna, Italy.
Fandom: Code Lyoko.
Canon or Original: Canon.
Character Portrayal: Gulliver Bevernaege
Hair: Odd has blond hair, styled in a triangular like fashion, with a small, completely natural, purple triangle on the front of his hair.
Eyes: Gold.
Height/build: Very short and very skinny - 4'8" tall and 70.5 pounds.
Individual Features: Out of all of his friends, Odd is definitely the smallest, even when one factors in his rather eccentric hair style. He’s also lean, on the scrawny side, for sure, despite his appetite, though if someone ever made a statement about it, ‘I’m svelte!’ would certainly be their answer. But before anyone notices that, typically, they see the hair. And wooow, what hair it is. Spiked up ‘Lyoko-style’, rounded to a point, Odd’s blond hair is carefully gelled in that style, and, uniquely, he has a purple triangle-shaped spot on the very front. Despite what some may say, it’s actually completely natural! Matched with a pair of golden eyes, his natural features are a little bit on the strange side!
Given that he has been translated from Lyoko, Odd wears a purple body suit, with a darker purple body armor covering on his chest, upper back, and shoulders, a singular covering that stretches across all three, that is, and kneepads of the same coloring. His hands are pawlike, completely covered, and with each finger ending in a claw. Over top of his hands, wrists, and some of the lower part of his arm is his laser arrow shooter, a darker, almost black covering that has a light blue circle on each of knuckles, from where he shoots his arrows, and has yellow, slightly jagged stripes across his arms, with matching yellow circles on his shoulders. In addition, he wears a pair of light purple, almost grey boots, mostly hidden underneath his suit, only has four fingers, has two triangular shaped purple markings under his eyes, and has a purple cat’s tail. The only thing he can change, clothes-wise, is removing his gloves.
Powers: Laser Arrows - Odd is able to shoot small bursts of purple out of his gloves, 3-6 at a time, that are electrifying on contact. It takes more than one to take someone out, though, any day.
Shield - Odd is able to generate a shield to protect himself, a purple gelatinous-looking circle. It will usually protect him fairly well, but too many hits will cause it to disappear. Normally, though, he's dropped it before that, as breaking through the shield usually causes him to be de-virtualized as well.
Catclimb - Odd is able to climb up and down walls and other obstacles, virtually scaling them (though not quite), though something like a skyscraper would certainly give him pause. Walls, or a normal house? Not so much.
Feline Execution - Odd is able to activate this ability and thus allow himself to jump higher, move far quicker, and the like, but it causes him to be a bit more animalistic, and a lot more wild. It has its ups and downs.
Family: Father, Mother, and Five older sisters.
Friends: Aelita, Jeremie, Ulrich, William, Yumi, Jimbo, Sissi, Milly, Tamiya, and more. Basically everyone.
Enemies: XANA and Homework.
Occupation: Lyoko Warrior/Student.
Personality: As anyone who has even remotely spoken to Odd Della-Robbia can tell you, he is a joker, first and foremost. Treating life like a game, he wants to get the absolute most he can out of life, choosing not to dwell on things he finds not fun, or useless, and instead on all the things that he enjoys. On one hand, it means he absolutely flourishes in the things that he’s good at and enjoys, but on the other, the things that don’t fall into those two categories… Not so much. He’s an exuberant, enthusiastic person, though, and should he actually apply himself to something with the wholeheartedness he gives the enjoyable parts of his life… Well, he’d excel.
Unfortunately, he’s a bit too lazy for that. His brain still hasn’t quite grasped the ‘cause-and-effect’ notions, meaning that if he annoys someone now, what, they won’t help him later? Really? On this note, though, he doesn’t really hold grudges. Like, ever. Sure, he still might be irritated or mad at someone later, but the most he’s honestly be genuinely upset with someone was a few days, before he got over it. Being constantly mad is a toll on his appetite, which is horrible!
Speaking of food, Odd can be downright hormonal over it. A happy Odd is a well-fed Odd, and, well, if you get between him and his food, or deprive him of eating what he enjoys… Cranky Odd on your hands, that’s for sure. And a cranky Odd can be one of two things. He’s either a whiner and complainer, constantly bemoaning and will probably get back at you via a prank, but sometimes, he can be passive-aggressive, taking subtle (well, for Odd) digs at people and just genuinely being a pain in the butt to be around. Thankfully, feeding him usually cheers him right up!
As a whole, Odd is a happy, mischievous person, but when he gets angry… (usually over Xana, or someone else hurting his friends, or heck, even over people being really mean and horrid) Oh man, when Odd is genuinely angry, it’s a scary sight to behold. He grows up, by what seems like almost decades, and for once in his life, takes it all seriously. Better watch out when he does that. Thankfully, it really doesn’t happy often! For the most part, though he has certainly matured and grown over the past year, he’s Odd. Goofy, playful, joking Odd, who’s just a giant Casanova in a kid’s body.
Oh, did I not mention that? Odd loooves to date the ladies, but he doesn’t have much luck. After all of his dates and girlfriends and all that… People tend to doubt if he’s really sincere, or a player. But each relationship is special to Odd, each one has memories, and every compliment is entirely true… He’s a bit of a sweetheart and romantic at his core, not going to lie. <3 A joking, childish, immature sweetheart, but a sweetheart nonetheless, one who is very loyal to his friends. And who will mess you up if you mess with them too much. Odd is, well, Odd!

History: Born in Italy, the sixth child, and the only boy, to a pair of painters, Odd’s early life, was, well, very fitting of his name. His father was formerly in the army, so they had a military obedience (which inspired Odd’s ‘rebelliousness’ and lack of listening later on) at their house, though that was off-put by his parents’ freespiritedness and way of always looking at the silver lining, praising their children for the good things, and rarely the bad, though they did always inspire discipline (no acting out, but if your grades were bad in Algebra, well, that’s totally okay!). His older sisters… Well, he likes to exaggerate and call them ‘bullies’, but they didn’t go much more than regular sibling roughhousing.
However, with him as the smallest, and with quite a few years separating him and his oldest sister, as well as the fact that they liked to gang up on him, it was quite a trial in and of itself. However, that did inspire quite a few things in him: First off, his fashion. As some would tell you, his lack of it, but Odd does have a style all his own. Secondly, the fact that he feels he ‘gets’ girls (and to be honest, he actually does, he just usually doesn’t care enough to put said knowledge into practice), and, third, the fact that he is a hundred percent, wholly, confident in who he is. No bullying will keep him down, no one can tell him that he’s an utter mess, and while that does put a halt to most constructive criticism, he is just honestly content in himself.
Odd is Odd, and that’s the way it should be. For him, at least.
Because of his rather… eccentric nature, he was genuinely liked by most (if regarded as weird), but he didn’t really have any super close friends, being honestly too childish for most of them. At least, until he transferred to Kadic Academy. His parents had heard great tales of it, and Odd stumbled across it while messing around online, and after discovering that it had an excellent program for art (as well as the fact that it was super close to Paris!), he begged his parents to let him go. They, of course, agreed quite happily.
Smuggling Kiwi, his pet dog, along with him (he didn’t let his parents find out that pets weren’t allowed), Odd headed off to France, genuinely delighted to be out of the country. This would be fun! First day there, he was already headed on to be good friends with his roomie, at least… Until Ulrich Stern decided to steal his dog to use as an experiment. A quick chase revealed… A supercomputer. And Lyoko.
Extremely excited by this, Odd ended up going right into Lyoko, being a purple cat warrior (much to his shock and confusion), and, well… It all went downhill from there. Making friends with Jeremie, Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita, the girl trapped in the computer… He vowed to help them get her out, and that’s what they spent much of their time doing.
But of course, Xana wouldn’t let them, sending attacks out, trying to thwart them… It was a huuuge mess, and Odd became a genuine Lyoko warrior, fighting and making friends and saving the day, and he didn’t think he ever had had more fun. And then they did it! Saved Aelita, brought her out… But Xana had infected her, and they couldn’t shut down Lyoko yet.
So they had to help her find her memories, yahoo! But oh dear, then Xana escaped the supercomputer… Time to try to stop him! And let William join the group, awesome! But oh, dear… William was taken over by Xana and Lyoko was destroyed… But Jeremie rebuilt it! And they got to go on Skids, and travel to Replikas, and try to destroy them and Xana… and they did! But Franz Hopper lost his life in the process…
A very long and confusing journey, huh? Odd isn’t one to dwell, though, and would honestly be hard-pressed to give you the details if you asked. He was sorta… a rock, in a way, the one the least affected, the one that was the most optimistic, the one that wasn’t constantly compromised by something, good friend to all… He grew especially close to his friends, over that period, and had many, many romantic relationships, all of which have crashed and burned…
Well, it didn't matter. He did his best to shove by the fact that Lyoko was gone, while being insanely disappointed, and thus was the first person to jump on board when Aelita wanted to check Lyoko out (he thought she was just being paranoid, but didn't blame her). After all, when might he get the chance to go to Lyoko again soon? That question was quickly proved to remain unanswered when, after just fifteen minutes of reacquainting himself with Sector Five, Odd found himself translated - not of Jeremie's doing, and cutting off all communications between himself and Jeremie - into a strange real world place that he had n e v e r been to. Whelp. Seems he couldn't go long without an adventure.
Random Facts: He's very good at music, having successfully composed many songs of his own, complete with music videos. He's also good at theatre and drama, as he's designed and directed many mini-movies, animated to live action, for his school and friends to watch. Basically, if it's in the arts? He's going to be excellent.
Name/alias: Odd.
Age: 19 years old.
RP Experience: 5+ years.
Any Other Characters?: N/A.
RP Sample: Aah, good, he was waking up~. His grin did fade a touch as eye contact was made, but he did his best to maintain his usual expression, plopping down on the bench. “Just now, do you like it?” With that, he flipped on his game, instantly immersed. It was good that he had a distraction like this, honestly, because, well… William.
He didn’t have any animosity towards the other, not really. He hadn’t tried to be evil, and all that. So did he hate him, was he suspicious, all that? Nope! Odd didn’t think that he’d do that kind of stuff, well, ever, and it wasn’t his fault, but it was just… weird, now, to hang around him and stuff, considering how long they had been fighting him. Would he ever want the other to deal with Lyoko stuff again, if by some miracle, it happened? Nope. But should he try to get used to the other, in order to, y’know, not be rude and leave him out? Yeah, he should, hence his efforts here.
Even if it was just being completely sucked into a video game while sitting by him, it worked, if just a touch.
However, sucked into his game as he was, - leaping over this gap, op, dodge the fireballs! – Odd didn’t hear the voice calling him, at least, not until William pointed it out, speaking up, and the blond glanced upward absentmindedly, before he caught sight of her staring, just looking at him and oooh… Yeah, it looked like pausing his game was in order.
Doing just that, slipping it into his pocket as he stood up, Odd gave William a nod and a grin, easily drifting over to his friend. Damage control, looked like. Placing an hand on her arm, he pulled slightly, intending to turn her away from the former Warrior, and gave her an easy smile. “What’s up, Princess?”
