Oz was terrified of rejection and thus sought to hide all vulnerabilities, refusing to express his true emotions. He adopted the philosophy of "acceptance," allowing him to easily adapt to new dangers, [4] but rendering him unwilling to resist dire conditions.
Though never shown to directly harm himself, Oz acknowledged he was suicidal and admitted his ostensible recklessness was a cover up for deliberate attempts to die. Oz was shown to have numerous skills and hobbies, [16] though he was in fact rather naive as a consequence of his sheltered upbringing.
He told Echo he had never once seen a festival in person before, [33] and his lack of knowledge of the world causes occasional missteps, such as forgetting to pay a vendor for food he'd received. His sensitivity would nonetheless cause him to appear precocious at times, particularly in his moral development and capacity for empathy, as he would quickly attach great meaning to the lives of even near strangers.
As such, he exhibited a nobility and selflessness unusual for his age from when he was very young. It is eventually revealed that Oz was initially a pair of stuffed rabbits created by Lacie Baskerville as a gift to the Core of Abyss, his existence serving as a link between the two when not allowed to meet.
Unable to move or talk, Oz would observe the lives of Lacie and the Core up until the former's death. He then was passed down to Lacie's biological daughters, and was particularly fawned over by the earthly incarnation of Alice.
Though he described Alice as "horrible," he loved her deeply, she being the one to give him a name and a sense of self. He was grateful to his creators for allowing him to be a companion to Alice, though he still could not communicate with her, and thus sacrificed his earthly body to deliver Lacie's final message. He would come to regret this, however, for the grief it would cause Alice, and the subsequent violence it would force him to commit.
Overall, Oz was intelligent, manipulative, and at times spiteful and sadistic. Despite this, his ultimate concern is the wellbeing of others, and his attempts at concealing his true nature were all in the hope of relieving others. However, in his new form Oz was clad in a larger version of the outfit Alice provided him when she brought him to the 1st Dimension.
This outfit was a red overcoat with a white collar and diamonds formed in a line going down the arm to white cuffs that ended triangularly; all while maintaining the bow Oz had since his creation. For the majority of the series however, Oz appears identical to Jack when he was fifteen.
Though he'd originally only resided within Jack's body because he'd lost his own, Oz's power has since altered Jack's body and made it his own - even appearing within his subconscious as he does in Jack's body rather than his own.
As such, Oz is now seen as a 15 year old boy measuring at cm tall, with emerald green eyes though his eyes do return to their original red form when Oz accesses his power and golden blonde hair. In this form, Oz often wears a a white dress shirt, a gray vest and black tie, shorts, socks, shoes and overcoat. Additionally, with his powers reinstated, Oz bears the Incuse of an Illegal Contractor over his heart; being a red brand of sorts shaped like a clock that's made at least 6 progressions.
In his early life, Oz had no feelings whatsoever. He merely watched the world around him through the doll that Lacie had brought back to Earth with her, watching Lacie grown from a young child into a young woman.
Oz's first emotions seemed to be felt when Lacie returned to the Abyss and announced her death to Oz and the Core of the Abyss, as Oz could feel tightness within him upon hearing her words. Oz fell into slumber until he was awoken by Alice when she bit his ear. Through his time spent with Alice, Oz developed positive feelings despite her aggressive behavior with him, having a sense of happiness spread through him when he saw her smile. Oz's sense of self-awarence finally formed after Alice gave him his name by abbreviating Oswald's own name however Levi had to change Os to Oz for her , with this he produced feelings of happiness through the fact that his existence finally meant something.
When the Intention of the Abyss approached Oz with a fragment of Lacie to deliver to Jack, Oz felt that he had to return the favor for Lacie, who had given him life. Oz absorbed Lacie's tainted thoughts and feelings of Jack even though it meant one of his bodies would be destroyed.
As the Tragedy of Sablier started, Oz wondered if delivering Lacie's thoughts and feelings to Jack was a mistake as he noticed Jack's odd behavior.
The two formed a contract, which soon lead Oz to great pain and despair as Jack had him slaughter anyone who got in his way, something which Oz had never wanted. He then got to the point where he was calling out for Alice through his tears, begging her to save him. Oz's own pain worsened after Alice committed suicide to stop Jack from hurting him again, as a great sadness swept over Oz for not being able to protect her as he had promised.
Originally given life unintentionally by Lacie , Oz began his journey as a Chain with a joint consciousness spread between twin black rabbit dolls. Unfortunately, one of Oz's bodies was destroyed, and his second body was transformed by the Intention of the Abyss into a powerhouse Chain known as B-Rabbit. From here, Oz formed an Illegal Contract with Jack Vessalius and was forced to sever the Chains of the World and slaughter numerous people.
Meaning the things our heroes have been killing left and right were—or if they retain their consciousness, are —people just like them. It actually is worse than that. During the year period that the Abyss was dark, Chains were brought into existence from things that somehow survived the fall into the Abyss , where they were trapped in a violent, eternally dark kill-or-be-killed Eldritch Location with only one escape: a contract with a human from the surface world.
If Oz's experience was any indication , Chains under normal contracts have little control over their own powers and can be used as a Living Weapon regardless of the Chain's own desires, so while the Contract system can have its benefits, at its worst it's basically a form of slavery. This can also be turned on its head in a way: in cases where the Contractor is particularly mentally weak, a Chain can influence their thoughts and emotions, but still not to the extent that a Contractor can control their Chain.
