Osmar, as might be obvious, specializes in dual roles, multiple personalities, and of course, modeling for that boy-band, &#8216;what-the-fuck-is-a-comb?&#8217; look. He doesn&#8217;t actually have a midsection at all &#8211; there&#8217;s just a void, due to a mishap on the dynamic range when he was in the military, but he&#8217;s turned that to his advantage because it&#8217;s easier to Photoshop in whatever waistline is desired. Osmar has trust issues, though, due to few people maintaining eye-contact with him for more than a second or so but, seriously, can you blame them? Damn. He was pushed into modeling on the failed aspirations of his father, who had attempted to become clay but couldn&#8217;t pass the regionals. He&#8217;s really tired of being asked to go mountain-climbing, nothing to do with stereotyping, he just despises the type of people and has been known to mutter, &#8220;&#8216;<em>Because it&#8217;s there!<\/em>&#8216; Vapid dingwalladers.&#8221; Osmar hopes to make his first million by the time he&#8217;s thirty, but he didn&#8217;t specify the &#8220;what&#8221; for either number, which would have pissed off our 9th-grade science teacher no end, but so did everything else so who cares?
