Personality wrote:Oakley is a stuttering kindhearted fool who just wants to make friends with everyone. The only words that will ever leave his mouth are ones of comfort and gentle kindness. His voice seems to drift on a breeze, light as a feather. Oakley will barely ever be found not yawning, as he is a severe night owl. Peace and serenity is what mostly makes up his personality, never once loosing his temper or raising his voice at someone in a cruel way. Oakley tends to talk very loudly, always easily excited and wanting to be heard. Along being easily excited, he is always easily frightened. He can be frightened by the littlest of things, from a small thump to a slamming door, he can be turned into a hissing fluffy ball. Oakley, in general, is just the most accepting male, never turning anyone down unless you have wronged him. He isn't quite forgiving, never giving second chances, unless you prove why you were wrong in the first place. He's tends to think of himself as being the one who must bring everyone together as friends, but knows that not everyone will ever make friends with everyone. Oakley watches what he says, being careful not to say something that will hurt another. He is extremely selfless, always throwing someone's needs before his own, tending to them. Oakley will never give up, and will never be put down by anything anyone says. He will always be a positive, outgoing guy, or at least, whenever he isn't in a bad mood. If he is in a bad mood, he tends to keep it to himself.

Oakley lifted his head from his paws. His camera lay before him, the scene decorated in cop tape. It was the most serious crime to have happened since Oakley was hired. The sketch of the body stood out like a diamond in coal, yet not as beautiful. It was spine tingling. Heart wrenching. He drew in the cold air, eyes blinking as he attempted to stop the tears of fear. He was not a baby. He couldn't cry. Yet, he felt as if he should be saddened by this. This was a death of a living being. Someone who had so much ahead of them. However, it all came to a crashing halt by a murder. Oakley bit his lip, and dragged his camera closer. He lifted his weight, moving across the pavement to get a better shot of the outline.
Oakley snapped his pictures, before he returned to the station to hand over his photographs. He had to leave, fast. His heart was pounding, his head spinning. The scene had been gruesome. The scenes flashing through his vision as he hurried from the station. He was horrified. How could anyone have done such a crime? It was outrageous. Oakley huffed as he slowed down, approaching the near by cafe. "Thank you, somewhere to relax for once.." He murmured under his breath, carefully moving past a group of Kalons. They smiled and waved at him, Oakley lifting his paw to return the gesture.
He carefully pushed through the doors, paws settling carefully on the cool tilted floor, which was a relief. He sighed carefully, and slid up to the counter. Dozens of little pastries were shown off in a display case, making his stomach rumble. From muffins to donuts, to cupcakes and scones. The Kalon behind the counter lifted her head, "Hello sir, how may I help you?" Her voice was sweet, kind. It made him smile a bit, glad that a stranger could be so kind to another stranger, even if it were a part of the job.
"I'd just like a medium banana smoothie, please." He reached into the pouch at his side to retrieve his money. The cashier stood, and did what she had on the register. He froze, realizing he had no money, and sighed again. "Actually.. Never mind. It seems I have no money." The other looked up, and blinked at him, "Well, sir. That's no problem. I buy it for you." She offered, and turned around to retrieve something from below her perch. Oakley blinked, repeating her action, "No, no.. That's okay, you don't have to, really. I can come back later." He said, setting his paws down as he stepped back, ready to leave.
"No, sir. I'm going to pay, whether you like it or not." She said this a bit forcefully this time, yet her voice carried the sound of kindness. He shuffled his paws awkwardly as she put her own money in, his gaze dropping. Oakley huffed, "You didn't have to do this, ya know.." He mumbled, ears flicking backwards as he waited for her response. He felt like he was forcing her to pay, and that didn't sit too well. A ball of lead with the words guilt all over it settled in his stomach. "Yes I did. I see you working hard every day, and you deserve to be thanked personally. Without you helping the police, they wouldn't be able to solve crimes as fast." She declared as she got the cup for his drink.
Oakley smiled weakly, and didn't want to tell her that they could simply hire another crime scene photographer. He shuffled awkwardly, and stretched his paw out when she handed the smoothie over. "Thank you." He smiled more, and took the drink over to a spot in the sun. He dropped his weight down, and gave a sigh of relief as he relaxed his aching back. Oakley drew his tail to his side, gaze turning to watch the world go by. He would lean his head down, sipping at his cold smoothie. It was all so peaceful. The world outside flew by as if nothing were wrong. As if crime wasn't a thing. People were helping others. They were being kind, so peaceful and generous to each other. It made his heart warm. Yet, there is always the dark within the light. The bad intruding into the good. Murder. Crime. Stealing. It all made it seem as if people were trying to make the world dark. Oakley was hurt by this. He hates crime, yet, it is an everyday thing. He cannot do anything to help it.
After downing his drink, Oakley tossed the cup away, and left back to his adoptive family. Yes, adoptive family. They were all considered family, a group of seven, all living together in peace. They were his world, the ones he had to protect, and will until the day he dies.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• Interview •
There's an awkward shuffle in the background. A curse follows after, and the door softly shuts. Oakley then settles down in front of you, shifting his body around so he can face you fully, his tail draping over his paws. "Well, I'm here, ready for this interview." He smiles sheepishly, he'd been ten minutes late. He draws a smoothie closer, waiting for the questions. Oakley perks his ears as you speak.
◆ If you could change your name to anything, what would you change it to?
-- "If I could change my name to anything, I'd change it to.. Hmm.. Gaige definitely. I like the sound of it. It's more interesting than.. Oakley, ya know?"
◆If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
-- "Hmm, probably the guitar. I really love the idea of being able to strum a gentle song as the sun sets in the background. Yet.. That will probably never happen. I'm not musically talented, I'd probably end up making a mess of squealing notes."
◆ What is one food you can not live without?
-- "Oh dear. Probably strawberries. I love all food, but strawberries man. They're the best thing to have been grown!"
◆ Power to read minds, or power to be invisible?
-- "Not to sound selfish, but power to read minds. I want to know if I'm annoying someone.. It'd help a lot, to be honest.."
◆ If you had one personal "selfish" wish, what would it be?
-- "One selfish wish? I'd honestly wish that I could never mess up. That I'd always succeed at something. But knowing me, I mess up everything, and I'd probably mess this wish up too. I'd love to be able to succeed at everything, it'd make everything easier."
◆ What is your scariest nightmare?
-- "... I.. Don't like talking about it, but for the sake of this interview, I will. The scariest nightmare I had was when I had just gotten off from my job, and I was dead tired. The crime had been a less serious murder, not brutal or anything. That night, I dreamed that I was the victim. I dreamed of everything. From when the intruder busted in, to being held at my own will. I remember the tightening feeling in my chest, even if it were just a dream.. It was horrifying. Of course, I woke up just as the killer did what his intentions were. It had felt so real, I had been so sure it was truly happening to me. Thanks to this, I sleep with an old rag doll teddy bear I found."
◆ What is your biggest pet peeve?
-- "Hm, probably foam on foam. The screeching sound gives me shudders. Ugh. Even thinking about it bothers me."
◆ What is a phrase or exclamation you always say?
-- "Huh, I've never been asked this before. I'm pretty certain I don't say a personal phrase or exclamation.. I mean, I normally just say things from the top of my head. It's always different no matter the scenario."

Oakley's breath was caught in the breeze, drifting off in a cloud. It was in the dead of the winter, the world coated in a soft blanket of snow. It was a heavenly sight for sure. The branches gently danced in a relaxed breeze, entangling in a dance of joy. Oakley smiled, laying his head down on his paws once more. The clouds were a grey, floating aimlessly as they waited for a spot where they could pack down more snow.
Oakley stood, before he carefully laid his paws down onto the top layer. The snow crunched slowly as he applied his weight, before his front legs popped right in. It wasn't very deep, but the chill sure made his fur stand up on end. He shook his fur out, before puffin it all up, hoping to at least trap the heat to his form. Snow began to lightly dance from above, flickering back and fourth. It was truly a winter wonderland.
Oakley carefully drew his paws across the surface, before he began to mend the shape of a misshaped leg. One he was proud of it, he worked the next three into existence. His tongue poked out, and his eyes narrowed in concentration as he mended the the stumps. He stepped back once he was done, marveling at the job he had done, believing it to be perfect. Of course, one was a bit too small, the other a bit too heavy set. But yet, he loved what he had done, because he had put his heart into it.
He took a moment's break, before he began his work upon the body. The snow was falling a bit heavier now, making uneven mounds from untouched spots. Oakley drew the body upon the legs, making sure it wasn't too heavy for the legs. Once one began to crumble, Oakley eagerly reinforced the leg with extra packed snow. The body was finished in a good amount of minutes, even if it had lumps and bumps, Oakley was quite proud of this as well.
The head took shape not long after, Oakley making sure to even out the ears so they weren't huge. He tried his best to fit the muzzle correctly, and then, the Kalon snowman had it's full body except for the tail. The head was oddly tilted to the side, but it didn't bother Oakley one bit. Nothing was perfect, right? He then began to attempt to form the tail, which was placed in the best spot. He stepped back, the snow coming down a bit harder now, sprinkling his back like fine dandruff. It was an amusing sight. A misfit excuse of a snowman, and yet, it was missing something.
"The eyes.." He murmured, before he dug up two stones, uneven in size. He carefully fit them onto the head, and frowned as one began to slide down a bit. He calmly stepped back to look his master piece over, a smile drawing over his lips as he gazed upon the silly little monument. Yes, it looked much of a child's work, yet, to him, it was perfect. And that's all that mattered. Oakley spent the rest of the night, protecting his Kalon snowman, packing on new snow when needed. And once the morning had come, the sun rained it's gentle beams down upon the sleeping form of Oakley and the misfit snowman.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
