Behind the Scenes
Ryan P. Oakley: GwendolynD
Gwen looked around the room she was stood in, where several workers busied themselves pulling out ruined tiles. She recognised this room as the one, where the interview took place, but surely the interview was weeks ago, why was it only being fixed now?
She recalled the interview, she wasn't sure whether to be amused or horrified, either way it showed a good candidate.
Audition:
We are in a glittering gold hallway- expensive ceramic types- from Italy, gold statues, massive paintings, high ceiling with a shiny chandelier, and a massive staircase in the centre.
Ryan isn't anywhere to be seen.
Then- a loud roar of an engine can be heard. And an excited masculine yell can be heard- as a ruggered male with blond hair blue eyes rides a motorbike down the stairs crashing all the tiles as he does so- he speeds to quick stop just in- front of the camera- which sways slightly.
Ryan ( for who else could it be) grins his freshly whitened pearly whites at the camera still sitting on the bike "that- Total Drama crew- is how Awesome I am and why I'm going to be on the show"
He winks at the camera "and you know it" every word is filled with over confidence- he doesn't even consider not being picked. He then winks at the camera before speeding off again.
The camera is promptly turned off.
"They actually only found out this morning, when they came to inspect the place- which by-the-way is to be opened tomorrow" Ryan says as he swaggers into the room from a door behind her, he answers her unasked question, but she supposed it was a perfectly reasonable presumption to make- she was standing in the middle of an almost ruined floor gawking at the workers. He pauses briefly beside her, before continuing up the stairs.
"Why no-one did anything, is that they have to control everything and get really pissy with the workers if they don't check with them first- unfortunately they have been too busy in conferences in Europe, or China" he pauses in his tirade and then shrugs his shoulders, "Whatever" he then reaches the top of the stairs and turns to see that she was still at the bottom of them. She had been watching him, until this point. "You coming"
She quickly scuttles after him.
He then leads her to the lifts and presses the only button with no label next to it.
He grins at her "I'm going to be living here, now"
The lift moves in an extraordinary speed. Gwen is sure her ears popped.
She steps out and the room they were in, was a huge circular one which had glass walls. She in a daze walks out toward a wall and looks out, Beverly Hills is sprawled out beneath her, the view is absolutely blinding. She stands there taking it in and trying to put as much of it to memory.
She eventually remembers as to why she is there and turns around to see Ryan leaning against a bright red leather couch, smirking at her.
She does her best to ignore his smirk and promptly readjusts her face, to her professional one and gestures to the couch "Shall we"
He shrugs his shoulders "Sure"
He then makes his way to the bar in the room "Want a drink"
She purses her lips, as he is underage, but it really isn't her place, so instead she say's "No thankyou"
As Ryan then mixes himself a cocktail of sorts and makes his way back to the couch, he swivels out a stand that was part of the couch and rests his cocktail on it and gets comfortable in the couch.
"You, may begin" he says, as if Gwen had been waiting for his permission, which Gwen finds mildly insulting, but she ignores it.
"So, Ryan, why Total Drama?"
He grins at her "Isn't that obvious" he takes a slow sip of his cocktail "Because I can- why else do anything?"
Ryan remained like that for the interview. Taking his time, making another drink, giving his cocky replies, walking to the window, asking Gwen questions; doing what he can to pull the interview, into his own terms, but so used to Chris, she ignored his antics.
"I'm sure your good in bed" he persisted, not answering her question.
She ignored him like always and re-asked the question "What do you think you'll add to the show"
He too continued as if she hadn't said anything, he got up, walked over to her side of the very large circular couch and perched himself onto the arm-rest she was next to "Come now, Gwenie, cut a man some slack here" he then leaned over her grinning "So are you?"
She shoved him "That really isn't your business"
"Ah, excellent, the girl is alive" he exclaimed as he got up and re-made his way to where he was sitting earlier "Finally we are making some progress"
He then sunk back-into his seat and propped his feet onto a footrest "As for what I'll add- look at me, what do ya think?- next question"
He grinned at her and Gwen felt her face twitch at the incredulousness at the kid 'Who did he think he was?'
She thought back to the audition, she remembered what he had said earlier 'they didn't find out until yesterday'. Something began to click in her head, any-ones parents would've noticed if their own kid had destroyed one of their latest projects, in Europe or China or not, with technology now days, surely they talk to their son or to whoever is supposedly looking after him- how was he going, but then again- they only found out yesterday 'when they inspected the place' he had said.
She looked to the kid, who was leaned back, sipping his cocktail, supposedly uncaring as to what she was thinking.
She caught his eye and he smirked back at her raising his glass to her, before taking another sip.
"Are your parents around much?" she suddenly asked.
He at first seemed taken-aback at the sudden personal change of questions, but he shrugged "That really is not your business- you're here to interview me"
"You get away with allot don't you" it was her turn to persist, he shrugged again, not really looking at her.
She sighed, she guessed it really wasn't her business.
"Do you have any challenge idea's you think you'd like Total Drama to do?"
"If I'm picked?" he asked neutrally.
So the interview continued.
"I'm booorrrred" he suddenly cried, running a hand through his hair "How much looongaar is this gonna to taaaake"
She looked at him "As long as necessary"
His eyes blankly looked at her "So Gwenie- ever tried, you know being with a girl?"
She pursed her lips, she was about to tell him, that it wasn't any of his business, but then to speed things up, because if she was honest with herself, she was getting tired of being here.
She, put her notes down beside her and sat back, "How about this: question for question, I'll answer one of yours, you answer one of mine"
He leaned forward interested "Any?"
She smirked at him "Any"
"I'll even let you ask first- however- however, I'll be honest, but you be honest too" she added quickly.
He looked at her considering, before he grins "Deal"
She then walked to him and held out her hand "Shale on it"
He shook her hand.
When she sat back down he asked his first question "So- have you?"
"Have I what?" she asked back. She knew what he was asking, but she wasn't going to make things easy on him.
He grinned "You know" he waggled his eyebrows suggestively "with a woman"
"I'm afraid you are going to have to clarify- what, you mean by" she imitated him waggling his eyebrows.
"Sex woman" he growled, but he was still grinning.
She answered his question.
When she left, she felt her face burn thinking of the things she had admitted to the brat, but she felt by being honest to the brat, he had been honest about himself and the interview went allot faster than at the start.
…
In the Lawyers office, at one table a green haired girl, had her head face down on the table, she was sleeping soundly. On the table across from her, was a tall thin lad, he sat with his feet on the table, leaning back in his seat, his head lolling over the top of the chair, his mouth open slack- he too was asleep.
On the floor was a girl with short pink spiky hair, she sat cross legged, she was very tired and she seemed to be leaning toward one side, her chin resting on her palm, which was resting on her knee and across from her sat crossed legged was a stockily built bloke, he sat mirroring the girl, both eyes drooping, and a piece of paper was rolled between them many ideas in marker was scribbled on that paper.
The pair looked like they were going to join the other two in sleep.
Because planning a prank, especially a prank for Chris, between work, is a very tiring business.
The swivel door spun around and out stepped a thin short spikey haired girl called Inka and an olive skinned girl with dirty blonde ringlets named Felicity.
"Whats a happening?" Felicity exclaimed excitedly as she entered the room.
Steve's head drooped and then shocked up and Felicities exclamation "Flick" he slurred out tiredly. The others are too dead to stir.
He turned around and blinked at her, a tired smile on his face.
"I guess we came at the wrong time then?" Felicity asked as she came over to great him.
He pulled himself up and returned her hug.
Inka walked toward him, a small smile on her face and a hand behind her back "It's a shame, look what I brought"
She reveals her hand, which is holding a packet of hagelslag. [1]
Steve walks over and picks her up and hugs her "My favourite" he then kisses her on the cheek as he receives the sprinkles "I happen to have some white bread too"
Inka laughs.
Steve then yawns.
The girls laugh.
"You head to sleepsville, we'll do some planning" Flick said.
Steve saluted and headed to the couches, he turned and glared at Inka "Keep my hagelslag safe"
Inka smirked and saluted "Course not"
End.

Personality:
Ryan is spoilt by nature, he has never been denied anything and his parents don't know what he gets up to- there are no rules no restriction what-so-ever for him.
He is arrogant, over confident, uncaring, thinks everyone is beneath him, has an opinion about everything and isn't afraid to voice it, loves being centre of attention, never has done a piece of honest hard work- yet girls flock to him.
Picky about who he dates- has to look good on his arm, have some connection, and cannot be much of a talker…
Ryan has gotten exactly whatever and whoever he wants, when and how long he wants it, never refused anything or anyone- good looks and filthy rich, can pretty much guaranty anything.
He wants to win everything and will do anything to win! He is a terribly sore looser, will whinge constantly about everything that he thinks made it so that he didn't win.
There is only one person who can keep him in line- Mrs Hodge- his Nanny (The Total Drama Crew my find she is needed). Mrs Hodge is a tough woman, whose own fiancé and sister died in a car-crash in which she survived. After which she raise her own two boys and her sisters three boys by herself.
History(Optional):
Born and living in L.A. Ryan has it made!
Ryan's parents are rich property mongrel's, beach villas, resorts, designer houses, now even retirement villages for rich people- they have it. Property is the Oakley family business which it has been for generations, but Ryan's parents the fiery ambitious couple that they are have expanded in such a way that they don't have time for anything else- everything they do essentially is for the business- even a male heir (Ryan) was produced so their legacy could carry on.
They specifically did everything they could to have a male. Ryan's mother actually wouldn't have cared if the heir was male or female, but Ryan's dad seemed specifically insistent upon it- Ryan's mother didn't really care too much to argue. So they had a male. They even have sperm and eggs frozen in-case something happens to Ryan.
Ryan inherits a good portion of money when he turns twenty-one and is given a condition, for him to inherit when his parents die, he has to have produced an heir himself. He doesn't have to be married…just have an heir groomed and waiting.
When Ryan graduates- he can still do whatever he wants as long as he passes the business and retail courses at university level his father expects him to do. His career path is set out for him, it seems that is all his parents talk to him about. As long as they carry on tradition- that is all that matters.
Ryan's mother, Anna, is actually fifteen years younger than his father, a fiery red-headed Spaniard, who has been a 'great asset' to the business, as his father, Edward Oakley, says. As in she has a good shapely figure.
Ryan lives with Mrs Hodge in one of the Oakley's 5 star hotels in Beverly Hills. He barely sees his parents and they allow him an unlimited allowance's, which allows him to do whatever he wants- his Nanny is his only guide. Mrs Hodge has been with Ryan since he was 10, prior to that he had sixteen Nannies', the longest lasting one year before running out. Because Mrs Hodge, has been with him for so long, Ryan has grown a soft spot for her.
Actually it was Mrs Hodge, or well her son, whom he met when he was eleven, who gave him the thirst for engines. Robert, Mrs Hodges Son, was part of a pit crew of a race car driver. It was Rodger who taught him the insides of an engine and how to drive, when he was thirteen. He also, sometimes took him along to Races.
When Ryan was 14, he threw his first party. It was wild, not only were the police involved, but it made the news across the world. His parents even flew back all the way from Italy to make sure thing were alright, but the second things settled they flew back again. That upset Ryan and really started a hatred for his parents, but he didn't dwell on it, lived through the celebrity status his party gave him at school.

How would they act around them?: He expects them to follow his lead and treats them to expensive things every once in a while to keep them following him.

How would they act around them? Be rude to and all round obnoxious to, ignore, tease, etc
Who would they crush on?: He likes pretty accessories to hang of his arm as his girlfriends, he'd crush on girls whom are steely, determined, passionate 'Balls of steel' so to say- it would take a long time for him to admit to it.
How would they act around them?: Tease them and annoy tem to no end, push them to their limits, until a huge confrontation where they'd get together. Once together, this girl he'd be protective of and jealous of any attention she receives and buy lots of expensive things for her.

Audition Tape (Optional):
I would like to add Ryan isn't one for strategy, or reading instructions- he is rather headstrong and would just start something or speaking without thinking where things are going.
Audition:
We are in a glittering gold hallway- expensive ceramic types- from Italy, gold statues, massive paintings, high ceiling with a shiny chandelier, and a massive staircase in the centre.
Ryan isn't anywhere to be seen.
Then- a loud roar of an engine can be heard. And an excited masculine yell can be heard- as a ruggered male with blond hair blue eyes rides a motorbike down the stairs crashing all the tiles as he does so- he speeds to quick stop just in- front of the camera- which sways slightly.
Ryan ( for who else could it be) grins his freshly whitened pearly whites at the camera still sitting on the bike "that- Total Drama crew- is how Awesome I am and why I'm going to be on the show"
He winks at the camera "and you know it" every word is filled with over confidence- he doesn't even consider not being picked. He then winks at the camera before speeding off again.
The camera is promptly turned off.
Other:
Ryan:
1. He likes to knit and sew- he is quite good at making clothes- he had a very bad temper tantrum a few months of first meeting Mrs Hodge and she used knitting to calm him down- and now it is what he does when he is in a real- real, wound up mood- but he keeps it secret since it goes against his 'masculinity' only Mrs Hodge knows of this hobby
2. He loves to travel in ways that aren't considered normal- eg skateboard through houses, motorcycle indoors, drive golf-carts in suburban streets, just because he can
3. He believes in ghosts. He swears he has seen one.
