[h3][i][b]~Personal Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Personality:[/b] So what is there to say about Gabriel, aside from he is the embodiment of southern hospitality and culture. You’ll always see him being polite, saying hello to everyone that walks by, and creating a sense of ease and relaxation when he settles down. Gabriel is extremely polite to all females, no matter their view of him. To Gabriel, it’s imperative to strive to be the best person possible, instead of making enemies. Having said that, Gabriel is firm and steadfast on his morals and values; something he attributes to his godly parent. Having been raised on a farm taught Gabriel many different virtues to uphold, such as responsibility, timeliness, and integrity. For if he ever wavered from any of those qualities, something on the farm might fall apart and hold others up. His father planted the seeds of these values early on, and with time and nourishment, they flourished inside Gabriel. Thanks to Gabriel’s bright personality, it’s always been easy for him to make friends, and once he makes a friend, he becomes very protective. He understands the usual quips and jabs, been when someone steps over the line, Gabriel will stand beside his friend and and back them up. On top of this, Gabriel makes sure he can be depended on whenever he is needed. Gabriel is, however, dependable to a fault. He has a difficult time saying no when someone asks him for a favor, even if it means his work, or other aspect of life must suffer for it. Gabriel is a kind-hearted, well-mannered man. He’s fiercely loyal and protective of his friends, and makes sure those friends can depend on him when times get tough. Coupled with the traits and values instilled by his father, Gabriel is a well-rounded man that has few enemies, and many friends; just let him know if he gets overly polite. [b]Skills:[/b] While not nearly as proficient as the children of Hephaestus, Gabriel does have some talent in tinkering and crafting. Many a times, he’s had to fix up the farm’s many pieces of machinery and has crafted a few time savers to help around the farm. However, that’s where his proficiency ends, and he happily leaves the more taxing technical jobs to the professionals. During his free time (while limited, was there), he learned how to play guitar. He may not be professionally good, but he still knows his way around one. [b]Biography:[/b] Gabriel grew up on a rather large farm twenty minutes outside Savannah, Georgia. He had a loving father, and while his godly mother was never around, Gabriel’s father, Michael, did his best to fill the void. Michael had few, if any grudges against Athena for leaving him a single parent, and in fact, did not try to hide the truth from Gabriel, believing knowing the truth early was better than learning late. So, when Gabriel was old enough to understand such things, his father explained to him what had happened and who his mother was. While it took Gabriel time to seriously grasp what this meant and that it was even fact, he eventually came to accept and understand the situation, and like his father, has no grudges against his mother for being absent. Throughout his life, Gabriel came to befriend many farmhands, thus leading to his everyday personality. All the farmhands played their part in raising Gabriel, helping the single father. Gabriel went through school, showing above-average intelligence in classes and the same level of physical aptitude in the gym and wrestling team. Gabriel became one of the more popular people of the school, but he remained true to himself, and wasn’t changed by any attention he was given. He had few enemies through school but then, he never gave the impression of wanting to make any. While taxing, Gabriel quickly got used to going to school during the day and working the farm when he got home. He had a few vacations during the school breaks, but for the most part, his time was spent helping on the farm and living the rather simple life. While he had no problem with this, Gabriel couldn’t help but feel there was a higher purpose waiting for him in the world. When he brought this feeling up to his father, Michael told his son about Camp Half-Blood. After more discussion, they both agreed that now was the time for Gabriel to venture on his own and make his mark on the world. With his dog, Sparta, and packed bags in tow, Gabriel headed for Camp Half-Blood to start a new chapter in his life. Gabriel has only been at Camp Half-Blood a short time and is still getting to know everyone. Regardless, he will not let that fact stop him from doing the best he can. Gabriel is eager to meet as many new people as he can, and make a difference out there in the world. [h3][i][b]~Demigod Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Demigod Abilities:[/b] Telumkinesis: Gabriel can know everything about a weapon once a touches it (rather than see it), and can conjure most any weapon, though like his mother, he prefers the time-tested spear and shield. Strategist: During combat, Gabriel is calm and level-headed. While he may be at the front with his spear and shield, Gabriel keeps his eyes ever scanning the battlefield, looking for weaknesses and openings. He’s quick-thinking, and even quicker to enact a plan he’s concocted; a trait that can be seen if one watches him play chess. Prowess in Battle:Thanks to his godly parent, Gabriel is not only tactically smart, but also physically strong and competent. Athena may have divinely blessed him with strength, his father honed it with manual farm labor. Having participated on the wrestling team in high school helped him focus and fine-tune that physical strength into more than just wild punches and kicks. [h3][i][b]~Weaponry Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Weapon/s:[/b] Standard Ancient Spartan Weapons (though improved through modern methods and materials): Dory: 8 ft. long spear for mid- long range. Xiphos: 18 in. Short sword for short range. Shield: A Spartan-inspired round shield that weighs only 20 pounds, but is more durable than its ancient counterpart. Instead of the letter Lambda that ancient Spartans had on their shields, Gabriel has the Greek letter Gamma “Γ” standing for his home state Georgia. [b]Weapon/s Name:[/b] Dory = Integrity. Xiphos = Honor. Shield = Respect. (He named his weapons this way, to remind him of the three most important traits he must uphold.) [b]Weapon/s Type:[/b] Spear, Short Sword, Shield. [b]Attributes:[/b] None.
