Description:[/color] Blake is a taller gentleman, standing at around 6’ 3” (191 centimeters), and he has a lean, toned body weighing in at around 180 pounds (81.5 kilos). His hair is dark brown and worn parted to the left with two ahoge rising from the part. His most striking and odd feature is an adhesive bandage that is worn over the bridge of his nose. His eyes are emerald green with a general glint to them that shows his adventurous nature and jovial personality. The tall brunette’s skin is sun-kissed, even more so in the summer months.
He opts of functionality in his clothing, and he often wears a khaki shirt with a pair of khaki cargo shorts. Usually his bush hat is never far from reach when he’s at work, but there are times he opts for more mainstream clothing. He enjoys jeans, shorts, t-shirts and button-down shirts with loafers, flip-flops (“thongs” in Australian vernacular), sneakers, and tennis shoes. Occasionally, one might even catch him in a blazer with slacks or even a suit with a dress shirt and tie.
Likes:[/color]
- Barbeque—We all know Australians are crazy about the barbie. They’ll throw anything on it. Kangaroos beware!
- aussieBum—They’re the only brand of underwear and swimwear he’ll wear. Made in Australia!
- Animals—He loves critters of all species, and he can even talk to them...sometimes in their native language. “Caaaaaaaaan yooooooou taaaaaaaaaalk whaaaaaaaaale?”
- Khaki—God Bless the British East Indian Company! He’ll wear khaki colored anything.
- The Outdoors—This is where Blake belongs. It’s hard to keep him cooped up when he comes from such wide open spaces.
- Sports—He's an active guy: swimming, biking, rugby, soccer
- Irwin—His pet Koala...Irwin also has a dangerous, evil side.
- Americans—During WWII in our own world, the shock of the United Kingdom's defeat in Asia in 1942 and the threat of Japanese invasion caused Australia to turn to the United States as a new ally and protector.
- Italians—Since most Australian children have to learn a language other than English, one-third of them choose Italian. Blake likes to speak it to Italians when others are around to annoy them.
- The Chinese— In our own world, Australia and China have good economic relations. Blake has respect for Eastern points of view. He's even heard there is a petshop owned by a Chinese man in Vegas.
Dislikes:[/color]
- Lost in Translation—He speaks English just like the rest of the Commonwealth. His thongs are his flip-flops, not his underwear.
- Poor Geography—Canberra is the capital of Australia, you ignorant European!
- Uptight People—Unlike his former British colonialists, Blake is casual, outgoing, and laid back. He doesn't care much for the air of the European aristocrats.
- Rudeness—There's no need in all that. Your mom taught you manners, so use them.
- Racism—Australia has lots of different indigenous groups, and all of them bring something to the table. Blake has learn to respect that.
- "What's under the bandage?"—Does there have to be something under the bandage?
- The Dutch—Even though the Dutch arrived in Australia before the British, they didn't stick around for very long as they arrived in Western Australia, basically where desert meets ocean, and Australians resent the Dutch for that.
Strengths:[/color]
- Understands animal behavior and is a wonderful handler and keeper
- Excellent Stamina on foot, biking, swimming, and diving
- Very fit (and handsome)
- Resourceful and intuitive
Weaknesses:[/color]
- Math—People in Biology tend to avoid that kind of stuff unless statistics are involved...which aren’t so bad.
- Vegimite—He loves the stuff
- Spelling—It's hard to spell "right" sometimes when you pronounce it "roight."
Dreams:[/color]
- Blake dreams of owning a Zoo one day and raising awareness about the need to preserve biodiversity.
- Blake would like to visit Europe sometime. However, he really doesn't like those stuck up snobby guys. America is much cooler for now.
Fears:[/color]
- Stingrays—Don’t ask. It’s hard to get over losing a national hero.
- Irwin's Evil Side—No one is safe
- Japanese—After the fall of Singapore in WWII, the Australian Government and many Australians feared that Japan would invade the Australian mainland. Australia was ill-prepared to counter such an attack...In Vegas, Blake is afraid of being cleaved in two with a Samurai sword.
