Oscar Orcus (オスカー・オルクス, Osukā Orukusu?) was a character who appears both in the main "Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest" series as a minor character, and in the spin-off "Arifureta Zero" series as one of the main protagonists.

He was one of leaders of the Liberators and was the creator of the Great Orcus Labyrinth.

Appearance[]

Oscar was young man who has gentle feminine features and a long, slender build.

He wore black-rimmed glasses and had shoulder-length black hair tied up in a ponytail.

Personality[]

Oscar had a gentlemanly personality and demeanor. He was highly capable of taking care of others due to spending his childhood at an orphanage and helping to look after the younger children. As a result, he become very adept to various household chores, such as cooking and cleaning. He also cared greatly about his family and would go to great lengths in order to protect them. He was easily angered when someone in his family is injured or exposed to danger.

Initially, Oscar tried not to stand out too much and avoid confrontation whenever possible. He was afraid that doing so would get him noticed by the Holy Church for his incredible abilities and be forced to serve them for the rest of his life. That all changed, however, after his family was put in danger due to his inability to stand up for himself. Afterwards, Oscar was no longer afraid to fight in order to keep those close to him safe.

Oscar was very intelligent and quite inquisitive. He enjoyed learning about various things and discuss them in great length with anyone who shared a mutual interest with him.

In battle, Oscar was a highly capable strategist, whether it was coming up with a well thought-out plan before entering a fight, or having to immediately improvise a new fighting strategy.

Despite possessing the common job of a "Synergist", Oscar viewed it as giving him the opportunity to create things would be remembered throughout history.[1]

As a craftsman, Oscar believed that true beauty lied in its simplicity and was unimpressed with anything that appeared too flashy.

Oscar would make his decisions based on logic, and typically did not rely on faith. Later on however, he would start to look into various unscientific theories, such as reincarnation, when he knew that he would be separated from his friends forever once their Labyrinths would be completed.

Beneath his gentle and caring persona, Oscar had his share of bad qualities. He was quick to lose his temper at times (especially around Miledi Reisen), and was prone to get into arguments. In addition, the way in which he used his weapons when fighting some enemies was considered to be cruel, and even a little sadistic by his comrades (such as stripping them of their clothes and blinding them).

Oscar had a huge fetish for maids. He considered himself a connoisseur of them and was extremely critical when judging their outfits.

Oscar was very proud about his artifacts and would often go off on a tangent whenever he discussed them. He would also give them various features that were useless, as well as being dangerous on multiple occasions. He was especially proud of his glasses and would boast about them at any give chance. Even so, he got upset when people (specifically Miledi) considered his glasses to be his only defining trait.

By the way, please spare me the questions. This is nothing more than a recording I left behind, so I unfortunately cannot answer any queries you may have. I wanted to tell those who made it this far why it was that we, who learned the tRuth Orcus of the world, chose to fight against the gods... so I decided to leave a message. And this was the simplest form to convey that message in. I want you to know... that though we were mavericks, we were not truly rebels.— I have no idea who you are, or why you chose to fight your way down here. Nor do I have any intention of forcing my own dreams of the gods’ demise onto you. I simply wanted you to know what it was we fought, and died, for... As a reward for hearing me out, I shall grant you my strength. How you use it is entirely up to you. I can only pray you won’t use it for evil. That’s all I have to say. Thank you for listening to the end. May the ‘blessings’ of the gods never reach you."[6]
