Appearance

- To some he may be considered conventionally handsome per the era, with a narrow face-shape, bright blue eyes, and vibrant red hair.
- He detracts from the norm with a little flair on his hairstyle, bringing his hair forward and out (pomp) rather than slicked back completely, as well as keeping his sideburns thick and long instead of trimming them.
- Very lanky looking, but not sickly-thin.
- Has wonderful manners and, due to his situation, rarely is indoors-- and as such, does not take off his overcoat and hat all that often.
- In terms of actions/reactions, he tries not to mimic people or copy their mannerisms due to spending too much time with them, but it happens almost every time...
   If he likes someone, he'll feel comfortable enough to ask them about themselves or their surroundings, but normally he'll be silent and unassuming. Does not give away information about himself unless forced to answer.
   When feeling safe/comfortable, he seems to observe his surroundings raptly.

Personality

- Oaks is a young man that comes off mysterious on first impression (for the most part), but is actually just plain... He doesn't seem to get excited or upset often enough to show it.
- He manages to step on toes when it comes to putting forth an effort in being careful of how to treat others.
   Ironically, when he gets despondent/moody and honest, he finds himself in more comfortable social situations.
- Somehow not exactly anxious even with the many perils and dead ends he faces, but more inconvenienced and annoyed... And one has to wonder if it was the tons of privileges he grew up with that shaped his blasé attitude. (Either that or he gets it from his daddy)
- As most men in his time, Oaks had been taught that he should not show his emotions lest he be perceived as weak-- but he's never been too good at learning and never managed to get the hang of it.
   Not to mention he doesn't expect that sort of behavior in others as well. It makes him a good magnet for the 'losers' of society-- and again, he doesn't think too much about others and how they come off unless they're a direct threat on his well being.
- He isn't too bright. He's been schooled well but he's lazy and careless, so any useful information is swiftly brushed off.

BIO

Oaks-- Matthew Oakley Strukës (the fifth)-- is an Irish-Catholic Brooklyn boy, born on May 6th, 1900.

He thought his family was well-to-do and his life was set before he was even a twinkle in his ma's eye, but it turned out his father- good ol' Matthew the fourth, the stuffy bastard- was involved in the mafia and all of his assets were actually on loan from his buddies.

Anything that the venerable Strukës line had amassed, much less been worth, was pissed away even before M.O.S IV met Oaks' mommy...
Not to mention when this whole murder case on father dearest was uncovered, poor ma had to learn that she had been lied to and cheated on for the past 20 years.

So here's Oaks with no job on the horizon, living alone with a despondent, helpless mother, and a shitty dead father that left him loans and connections with the mob.
  ... At least things have looked up since the repeal of the prohibition, though...

Trivia

  • Is a complete mama's boy and is fairly saddened that his mother isn't doing well. And he might be willing to shuffle in and get help from the mob if he can't find a job so they can survive...
  • Has a penchant for drink and truly thinks it's the only thing keeping him sane and level-headed.
     ...It's actually the opposite, and gets him into more trouble than he'd have if he didn't drink.
  • Has an extreme preference for larger, curvier women. And when it comes to men, he's attracted to taller, darker, handsomer types.
     ...Somehow seems to get stuck with anyone but his types (and he goes through a lot of girlfriends).
  • Does not follow his faith whatsoever but talk shit about it and he'll get a little bit fussy about it. I mean, he already knows he's going to hell, and he's tired of going to mass nonstop! Heavens forbid, there's no need to rub it in his face.
  • He loves comic books, but not to the point of obsession. But he'd re-read his comic books over reading a stimulating novel any day.
  • Just a tad clumsy.
