Origin: Born to middle class, traditional, bible thumping, and strict parents who failed to practice what they preached. Father was a church pastor, mother was a sunday school instructor and a stay at home mom who was almost never at home. Obie spent his younger years forced to help with church services and sitting through his mother's sunday school lectures. As he got older Obie began to feel animosity towards the church and his parents as he recognized the two faced nature of their so called devoutness. Obie, while intelligent enough to pass his classes without much effort, began to slack off in class and with homework. He quickly earned a reputation as the class clown, always finding ways to make people laugh, finding that it helped lift his own spirits as well, even if just for the moment. Obie managed to still pass his classes by turning in the bare minimum necessary to keep from failing. He turned 18 the summer before he would have been in 12th grade and dropped out to travel the country and living in his van. At 19 he met a woman a few years older than he was who began to travel with him and she quickly ended up pregnant. She believed that even with a child she would still be able to live her life in the same carefree unburdened manner as she had been and chose to keep the baby. However, late in the pregnancy it was discovered that she was having twins. Not wanting to be held down by two needy children, she left the twins with Obie and left to continue her freedom living on her own. With the twins needing him, Obie finally began to look for a place to settle, wanting to give his kids the best life and be a better parent than his were. He began to work odd jobs for quick cash and slowly saved up for a small apartment. After getting a part time job at a local library, supplementing his income through online commissions for art and stories, he began to work on getting his GED. Now at 34, Obie is in his first year of college, taking three on campus classes per week and doing the rest online. He does his best to work around his kids school and extracurricular activities so he always has as much time as possible to be there for them.
