Series: Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers
Character: Dale | Dale Oakmont (fandom convention)
Age: 3 (Adult)
Timeline: Dale has experienced all of the events of the TV series and the 2010 comic.
Background:
Both Chip and Dale were hanging on the every word of Plato the police dog, his stories were both grandiose and rooted in truth. The chipmunks loved hearing them and tailed along whenever there was something afoot, and whenever Plato was on the case they were not far behind. By the time the duo formed the Rescue Rangers the police dog had retired, but the stories never stopped being told, this time they were writing their own.
Personality:
While his brother Chip takes a more methodical, no-nonsense approach to crime fighting, Dale would rather have fun and stop crime at the same time. He is excitable, happy-go-lucky, and fiercely loyal. Sometimes his silliness can get himself and the others of the Rescue Rangers in trouble, mostly due to his bumbling, overactive imagination, and dreams of being a great hero super-spy extraordinaire. Dale has soaring dreams of heroism; he wants to be a real hero like in the movies and the comics. He wants to do all the important hero stuff: defend the weak, pit himself against supervillains, and there's always the especially lofty goal of getting the girl. Ahh, a munk can dream... Dale does a lot of it!

As a Rescue Ranger, Dale is the wild card of the lineup. For the most part he is a doer and will gladly help his teammates in the plan of action. He chooses to remain lighthearted on the majority of cases to keep his team in high spirits, and the strangeness of the cases the Rangers have faced in the past are outrageous enough to warrant a sense of humor. He often waits until the team has fallen into a dire situation before springing a plan of action, and this will often be just unpredictable and crazy enough to work. While the show would portray Dale's mental faculties to be lacking, I have bought into a fan theory that he simply enjoys goofing around and feigning ignorance to crack a smile on the faces of his companions (more often than not this lands him a crack on the skull from Chip). He especially likes employing 'tactics' he has learned from comic books and emulating his favorite heroes.

As a personality, Dale is Chip's best friend, and the familiarity in which Dale disposes pet names to him would indicate that he could also be a sibling, too. He is a hyperactive specimen of a chipmunk, eager to please his teammates and especially eager to shower his fellow teammate Gadget with affections. He is more vocal and outwardly emotional than Chip. His tail is constantly moving and he chipmunk chatters when he is tense, excited, or the ever prevalent bickering with Chip. He shows his cheer frequently and often by wagging his tail or making happy chittering sounds (this has only ever been exhibited towards Chip). He enjoys loud music, sitting in front of the tube, and reading his favorite comic book series. He is especially fond of chocolate and peanuts (feed him a peanut butter cup and he will probably follow you around all day).

Dale is amiable when it comes to meeting others. Anyone who does give the little guy a chance will be rewarded with a rambunctious and endearing personality, a good humored friend through and through. He has a good heart and has always protect his allies under the ideals held in many comics and soaring adventure movies: no case of evil is too great or too small for the power of good; everyone could use a hero to believe in.

Abilities/Additional Notes: Dale is tiny, standing on his two feet barely clear him for the three inch mark. Standard chipmunk abilities include a keen sense of sight and hearing, as well as the ability to climb any surface that he can hold onto. He can leap farther and close greater distances than a human being can for his size and if he drops to his fours, he can really move. Dale’s sense of smell is outstanding and gives him an incredible capacity for tracking and scouting. Other than these abilities he is rather average, but he will use his abilities to help someone who appears to be in need.
Like all chipmunks he is fond of tree nuts, and he also has a sweet penchant for chocolate confectionery. He learned American Sign Language through communication with Gadget's friend Mouseo. Dale also taught himself gentleman's fencing, probably first sparked by reading comics or television which he loves to do in his spare time.

Sample Journal Post:
[Audio]

Has anyone seen a suspicious character in the southeast quadrant lately? Been a regular presence every night at sundown, about 5:30? I might have even caught them on morning patrol, kinda shifty? They keep leaving weird messages in th’ dirt too, like ‘I could go for a pizza’ and ‘I’m so bored’..
[There was the faintest hint of a snicker as Dale broadcast on the network.] Oh wait. I wrote those to myself.

Anyone want to keep me company? Not a whole lot happenin’ on patrol right now.
