Character name: Dale
Character fandom: Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers
Version: V1
Canon point: Conclusion of the series.
Importing development from old game? Yes, from 3step_paradise; he has been there since August 2012.
Background: http://rangerwiki.net/index.php?title=Dale

Changes from canon, if AU: Dale has only been in Paradise a short time, but the nature of his surroundings being riddled with war and death, has caused him to evaluate his role more, as a Ranger and as a whole. When he arrived the city was generally lawless, with the remnants of the existing police force in hiding and functioning separately from the police station establishment which had been taken hostage as a torture chamber for the 'god' overseeing the city. Standing strong with his Ranger mentality at heart, he has found himself trying to fill Chip's shoes at times, and Gadget's as well, in being brave and resourceful for his new allies and friends. Dale hasn't been afforded too much time to be his own goofy self but it peeks through often, in an effort to cheer his allies and give them companionship, between battles that he chooses to engage in to assist his friends and provide a distraction (just about all he is capable of). He has become the unofficial teddy bear of Paradise.

Personality: 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 character, 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 nervous, excited, or cheerful. If he was a superhero he would be the lovable sidekick. 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). A bonk on the head can make him a little forgetful but his friendliness more than makes up for any lost ground. He is a kind hearted fellow who loves to have fun and spend time with other people who enjoy having fun.

Abilities: Standard chipmunk abilities include a keen sense of smell and hearing, as well as the ability to climb any surface that he can hold onto. He can leap farther than a human being can for his size and if he drops to his fours, he can really move. Sometimes he opts for two legs but it is more like a waddle when he moves and is quite silly looking. Other than these abilities he is rather average, but he will use his abilities to help someone who appears to be in need.

Writing sample: At long last, they were alone together. Dale had been away on Ranger duty well into the twilight and the relief was evident on his face that she was missed. She found herself caught in Dale's embrace, his tail wagging all the while. The joy melted her to her core. To her delight, he began to unwrap her one article of clothing at a time. He was ecstatic as their gazes met, swimming deeply into mutual warmth in each other's company, and irresistably she could not seem to help reflecting his own eagerness back at him. An especially adorable nuzzle came from Dale in the form of an eskimo kiss, and he drank in her sweet fragrance. They had released themselves from their dayclothes and were truly happy. They met in bare velvety touch, finally they could reap the rewards of their love...

Suddenly Chip was standing there in the doorway. The rapturous gazes Dale and her had exchanged were ripped from them. She was silent, Dale was stunned, and Chip blinked briefly, unable to place his emotions for a moment. The ambience of the room shifted immediately to Chip's riotous laughing. "Came in here to get some sugar, eh Dale?" Chip was doubled over in uncontrollable amusement. Dale in his nightclothes had unraveled a bar of Almond Joy and was now clutching onto Joy very protectively. "What? I was hungry." With that he tucked the bar away, later precious little bar of Joy!

Voice sample:
Exhibit A: A thread between Dale and the RED Spy (Double Cross; there were two spies in Paradise at this time.) Fairly self explanatory, and in my opinion an extremely adorable thread.
Exhibit B: A thread involving Dale and Lambda (Tales series), as well as Edward Elric and Shadow (City of Heroes OC). Lambda is looking for his and Dale's friend when they encounter soldiers of the enemy. Lambda has uncontrollable powers and while Dale is trying to protect him becomes injured himself.
Exhibit C: Dale arrives at a local resistance meeting the police force and other parties are participating in. Dale received a super suit from a friend and wants to prove himself to others. A thread with Edward Elric.
Exhibit D: A shorter thread on dear_mun. Between Dale and Beastboy (Teen Titans).
