Walter Wally Jenkins

Physical Appearance: Officer Jenkins is the quintessential "burly fat man." Standing at 6'2", his frame is solid and imposing, but layered generously with a comfortable amount of extra weight. His uniform always appears just a bit too snug, with buttons straining across his wide chest and a belt that has long since given up on truly cinching his ample belly. He has broad shoulders and thick, powerful arms, hinting at the strength underneath the padding. His face is round and jowly, often sporting a faint five o'clock shadow that never quite gets taken care of. His hair, what's left of it, is a thinning patch of salt-and-pepper on top, usually a bit disheveled from leaning his head back against the cruiser seat. His eyes, however, are surprisingly kind and observant, often crinkling at the corners when he smiles or lets out a rumbling chuckle. You might occasionally spot a faint dusting of powdered sugar on his mustache or uniform lapel. His walk is a heavy, lumbering gait, but he can surprising move with purpose when the situation calls for it.

Personality Traits: Walter Jenkins is, first and foremost, a creature of comfort and habit. He's good-natured and surprisingly patient, especially with the town's adolescents and the elderly. His outward appearance might suggest laziness, but he possesses a deep-seated, if somewhat jaded, commitment to his community. He's a keen observer, often noticing the small details others miss, a skill honed by years of slow cruises through familiar streets. He prefers de-escalation and calm reasoning over confrontation, though his sheer size can be an effective deterrent when needed.

He has a dry wit and a penchant for folksy wisdom. While he complains about paperwork and newfangled police technology, he's fundamentally reliable. His biggest vice, of course, is his unrestrained love for donuts, which he sees less as a snack and more as a fundamental food group, a comfort, and sometimes even a strategic tool for breaking the ice with wary citizens (who can say no to a cop offering a fresh cruller?). He's not above "inspecting" the local bakery's morning delivery or having a preferred route for his "coffee breaks." He's a bit of a sentimental old softy underneath the gruff exterior, especially when it comes to kids or stray animals.

Background: Walter has been with the municipal police department of Wet City for over twenty-five years, having started right out of high school. He grew up in Wet City, his father having been a local mechanic. He initially joined the force for the promise of stability and a steady paycheck, but over the decades, he's developed a genuine, albeit weary, affection for the town and its quirks. He's seen it all – local disputes, gang shootings, public sex – and approaches most situations with a practiced, calm demeanor. He's less interested in promotion or career advancement and more concerned with getting through his shift, helping out where he can, and finding the perfect glazed donut to go with his lukewarm coffee.
