Oakey was just a nameless infant when he was born to two Muggle Parents who instantly put him up for adoption at a Muggle hospital. His lack of luck coud be even traced all the way back to this. A newly married Squib couple, Warren Pewdering, and his wife Rebecca. Came to the Hospital seeking to adopt a Muggle baby out of fear of having a baby with magical abilities of their own. They took one look at him, and instantly fell in love.
Flash foward two years. The Pewdering's and their adopted child, whom they named Oakey after Rebbeca's muggle Great Uncle were living a wonderful life with no magic. Until one day when they had an outing at their local park. Oakey had a temper tantrum (Something about his "Wawa" or whatever). Their was a loud pop coming from a passerby holding a drink near the family and the unsuspecting victims trousers fell down, along with the beverage covering most of the victim's face. Terrified and ashamed that their adopted child had magical talent laying dormant within him. The Pewdering's abandoned him at the that very park, where a two year-old Oakey wandered the park searching for them until he encountered a crowd gathering deep in the woods of the park. It was here that he came to meet his future Gaurdian, and father figure.
Harvey Dean Gunter was a famous American Quidditch Star for Massachusetts' team The Fitchburg Finches. The man was making his appearences around the state doing signings and pictures for fans, but Oakey didn't know that. The toddler assumed that his parents had lost him and that they'd be in this large crowd. Oakey inched his way to the front of the crowd and Harvey lifted him up for a lovely photo of a fan's child and himself( They both keep respective copies of this photo with them to this day). When the picture was done Harvey tried to return Oakey to who ever wanted the picture taken, but no one claimed Oakey. Unsure of what to do about him Harvey brought Oakey back to his estate.
The two of them had a very odd relationship. For the first year that Oakey lived with the Harvey. The man had lots of trouble caring for the him. Once or Twice Harvey's sister, Xaria would visit and give him parenting advice, and Harvey's mother would owl him letters on the subject. Occasionally Harvey would mix his career in with Oakey, during victory celebrations (which happened quite often at Harvey's estate). Leaving Oakey to witness and learn some uncanny talents of dance and song.
A few years of this went on until December of 2070, Harvey recieved a letter stating that his Sister had dissapeared mysteriously, and was presumed dead. This was a major change in the Gunter's life, as Harvey's Mother was devisted and would need extra care at her cottage home in London, England. Harvey retired early from American Quidditch, he and Oakey moved to London begining a new life with Harvey's mother one week after this terrible event.
The Gunter's lived a decent life. Living off of Harvey's Quidditch savings. Oakey even grew to idolize his Gaurdian and find a love for Quidditch himself. The boy kept piles upon piles of magazines on the subject. His room walls were plastered with Chudley Cannon and Fitchburg Finches posters as well. Eventually in April of 2074, Harvey noticed a lack of galleons in his savings and decided it was time to come out of retirement. Oakey had a bad gut feeling that day and urged Harvey not to go out, to stay home and try out for the Chudley Cannons another day. Harvey dismissed this warning form him and went out, only to return terribly injured and crippled for life. It was this same day, Oakey's birthday that he recieved his letter from Hogwarts.
Oakey traveled to Diagon Alley a month later and began his School shopping with Granny Gunter, while Harvey recovered at St. Mungo's applying for a job in the Ministry.
✷Personality✷ Oakey likes to believe he is laid back and relaxed, which is sometimes the case. In reality he doesn't seem to sit down too often, he's always on walks around the Grounds (even in Winter months). As of late he's determined to let people know that he isn't some goofy little kid anymore, through actions and words both. One of his flaws is his gullibility and his superstitious beliefs that everything bad is because of him. OOC: Hello there, my name is Jay, and I joined SS almost 2 years ago! I love video games, and reading comics(that's about the only thing of Oakey I had to include myself in). If you ever want to end up in crazy situations with Oakey just give me a VM that you want to RP and I'll think about it reply with a "yes yes yes!"
