NOTE: Olly is a very tentative choice, since 4/5 most important castmates are under the age of 16! Still, I wanted to toss him here because I do think he'd be a lot of fun.
ᛗ CHARACTER Name: Olruggio Canon: Witch Hat Atelier Blurp: Olly is a Witch and inventor of magic contraptions! He's your classic 'grumpy guy that is actually a huge softy'. You know, he insists that he doesn't want apprentices, then looks after his best friend's apprentices like they're his own, to the extent of putting himself in very real, very mortal peril for their sake. Or he puts a ton of effort into monetizing his work and then gives some of his work to the common folk for free.
He's basically a gifted kid who did not suffer gifted kid burnout, but also never quite learned how to take care of himself. He complains that his room is only clean when he's avoiding a deadline. He finds it easier to invent a magical device to make himself look better than to just shave and get a solid night's rest. There's an entire chapter dedicated to how critical of and frustrated with his own work he gets the more he works on it. There's a Defunctland quote that goes "I hate literally every step in the filmmaking process. The only thing I hate more than making a film is not making a film." and that's basically Olruggio about magic!
Vessel Type & General ideas: For Olly, I'm only considering token options! My top choice is pyromancer, since this is basically what Olly is in canon, and I think he'd be delighted (if freaked out) to suddenly be able to control fire without having to draw all his spells out first. Artificer is next because, again, that's exactly what he does already. And for a wildcard 3rd choice, I'm thinking beastkin! Because he gets along with the family pet in canon.
