Hughes Oslan

Hughes Oslan (ヒューズ オズラン Hyūzu Ozuran), born Oslan, is a Neighbor Trigger currently affiliated with Border. He was born in World-U, the Neighborhood, before being taken to World-A, our world, and then into World-B, the world of World Trigger. He acts as the main protagonist of Dreamers. Though not officially in a branch nor a member of Border, he is usually associated with the Tamakoma Branch due to both being a Neighbor and being friendly with people regardless of their species.

Background
Oslan was born in Aftokrator to House Kyriarchos, to which all other Houses were subservient. He had brilliant blue eyes and gold hair, and was considered a blessed child for how much Trion he had at birth. He was given Aftokrator's signature horns to help him become more potent in Trion. With an extraordinary amount of Trion in his body, he was a candidate to be Aftokrator's next God since the nation was growing desperate. Kyriarchos was overthrown by the other Houses in an attempt to take his life, even if they were all reluctant to. His older brother created a Black Trigger in an effort to save Osland, but it wasn't enough. He was rescued by the Crown Trigger, who merged with him, turning his gold hair white and increasing his Trion significantly. The only ones present for the attack who survived were Hyuse, who made a clear effort to save Oslan's life, only to be knocked unconscious. After finding Oslan gone, Hyuse has had the unspoken desire to find him again.

At 8 years old, Oslan was taken to World-A. He was bullied for his white hair and horns and thusly began homeschooling. He had few friends but was well aware of the existence of other dimensions. When he was 13, Oslan was confronted by Henry Fisher, a member of the World-A Dimensional Safety Organization, who asked for his assistance in helping them. He agreed and was successful in helping counter the Upsies, Neighbors, until an unnamed nation destroyed World-A and Osland was forced to flee once more, into World-B. At 17 years old, he found himself at the mercy of the Miwa Unit, who all assumed he was an invader, until Yuichi Jin stepped in.

Personality
Oslan is a generally friendly and well-mannered young man

Entrance into World-B Arc
When landing in Mikado City, Oslan was quickly found by the Miwa Unit, and was about to engage in a fight when Jin stepped in, advising the Miwa Unit not engage because they would be killed. He then asked Oslan what he was doing here, away from the Neighborhood, and he explained to Jin he came from a dimension similar to this one but would only give him the details if he was allowed to speak to Masamune Kido, shocking the Border agents that he knew the names of the higher-ups.

Upon arrival, being watched by Jin and Masafumi Shinoda, Oslan explained his predicament: He was from a nation in the Neighborhood called Aftokrator before barely escaping with his life into a world similar to this one but not the same - or at least Oslan suspected as much since he'd never heard of Border in that World. He explained his affiliation with WADSO and alluded to detailed knowledge of future invasions, piquing the interest of Takumi Rindo, who asked him if he had anything he could tell them. Oslan said he would only elaborate if he was ensured a place to live here, as he had no intention of ever returning to Aftokrator or his previous World. After some negotiation, Kido agreed, and Oslan said that he couldn't give any information until the arrival of "a cute little Neighbor," stating he didn't want to change the future too much or his information would be useless.

Under the fake story he was an American who moved there to get away from his family, he began to attend the specific high school he knew Yuma Kuga would be transferred into.

Welcome, Yuma Kuga Arc
Upon meeting Yuma, the younger Neighbor noted something about Oslan felt different from the other people. Oslan, tall and therefore intimidating to the Japanese kids, followed along behind Yuma, perfectly calm when Yuma defeated the Trion soldier. When Yuma explained he was a Neighbor, he turned to Oslan and asked what nation he was from. "Aftokrator," Oslan answered casually, shocking Mikumo again, who asked if all humanoid Neighbors had white hair, but the two waved it off, explaining it probably had something to do with their Triggers. He told Yuma he'd been waiting for him and was looking forward to their friendship. He was called in by Kido to discuss Mikumo's supposed success alongside Jin and didn't answer when asked if Mikumo had done anything, simply shrugging and saying that it was one of the details he didn't know.

Leaving with Jin and Mikumo, Oslan explained he had some prophecies and preemptive knowledge that would help Border out significantly in the next month or two, which would be some of the hardest it has faced since its inception. He simply went home, saying he didn't want to tamper with the future too much, continuing to attend school as normal.

Aftokrator Invasion Arc
A week before Aftokrator's invasion, he called in the higher-ups of Border and gave them detailed descriptions of each Black Trigger, what they could do, who used them, where and how they would attack, and what they wanted. Kinuta and Metsuki were doubtful at first but after Kido saying to trust in Oslan's words, the defenses were put up. Aftokrator was defeated much more easily, though Enedra was still killed. In order to ensure Hyuse's future loyalty, Oslan told Jin to tell Hyuse during their fight that he was here in Border to make him falter and hopefully switch allegiances.

Aftermath Arc
Hyuse did not believe Jin at first until Jin took him to see Oslan in his apartment, who greeted Hyuse casually with a small smile. Unashamed, Hyuse ran to Oslan and kept poking him, trying to make sure he was real. After confirming it, Hyuse smiled, crying, saying he was so glad Oslan survived. Oslan told Jin to tell the higher-ups that Hyuse could be trusted with him and live in his apartment near the Tamakoma Branch. Many began to question how Border knew this would happen, which was when the executives came clean with Oslan's true purpose in Mikado City, his status as a former noble in Aftokrator, and how he knew how to counter anything they could have possibly thrown at them.

Hyuse felt a bit betrayed that Oslan had thwarted their plans but was ultimately pleased with returning to Oslan's side. It is at this point that anyone who called Oslan "Hughes" was forced to call him "Oslan" as to not confuse him with Hyuse, whose name is pronounced the same.

Triggers
Oslan possesses a Black Trigger and Crown Trigger, both fused with his body.

Isa
Isa is Oslan's Black Trigger, formed by his deceased older brother of the same name. It grants Isa the ability to attract a Trion core or organ. Once he touches the core or what contains it, he is able to completely absorb it.

Gila
Gila is Aftokrator's former Crown Trigger, now merged with Oslan's body in the form of his arms, heart and lungs in an effort to stop him from bleeding out. In order for them to maintain their form, they require a constant and steady source of Trion. If left alone for too long Oslan could die from his Trion being drained, resulting in his heart, lungs and arms disappearing. Gila has effectively fused with Isa, meaning that Isa is active at all times. In order to keep living without too much stress over Gila, he must continue to replenish his Trion artificially, as his own Trion organ isn't fast enough to keep up with the Crown Trigger.

Side Effect
Omniscience allows Oslan the ability to see the most important and prominent events in someone's past, as well as what they have done within the last roughly 12 hours. He cannot use this on objects or animals without enough sentience to have prominent memories, meaning reading Enedrad is off the table. Wearing sunglasses or eye coverings help keep Oslan from an overflow of information.

Inherent Abilities
In World-A, the series World Trigger existed as fiction, allowing Oslan to keep up to speed with some of the more recent events. He was up until chapter 203 when he was forced to go to World-B, a world he chose because he knew who to talk to and how to get accepted into the organization. His knowledge of the two upcoming invasions proved a great asset to Border but after the timeline passed 203, the most he can do is gather information from interrogations.
