On his cheek is a small scar, after he had taken a hit for a friend.[/indent] [color=00A651][u][i][b]Height[/b][/i][/u][/color] [indent]Pre-Breach : 5'11" || Post-Breach : 6'4"[/indent] [color=00A651][b][i][u]Personality[/u][/i][/b][/color] [indent]Gabriel can be considered by most to be a level-headed person, often using rational thought with a cold and calculating approach to solve his problems. While this may be mostly true, Gabriel has tendencies to break this state during times of major stress and whilst under pressure that normally goes beyond what he is used to in comparison to his early life experiences as a hoodlum. His time in a young boys' gang has led him to more brawls than he can count, which in turn developed him to hold scorn towards fights that don't lead anywhere or have no greater purpose, especially ones that involve a friend or loved one. On top of this, his short time with his father, and his eventual death, spurs Gabriel towards the future with an 'absolute victory' outlook on life; no matter what the result may be, he charges forward in the belief that success only truly matters when one snatches it from the jaws of defeat. Despite this rough up-bringing, his mother's intervention changed Gabriel into a compassionate and soft individual towards others, which was most evident when he took a blow for a former gang member, leading to permanent scarring on his cheek.[/indent] [color=00A651][u][i][b]Branch[/b][/i][/u][/color] [indent]112th Trainee Corps[/indent] [color=00A651][u][i][b]Biography[/b][/i][/u][/color] [indent]The life of a young boy growing up under the shadow of a military success was expected to be one of hard work and seeking approval. That was certainly the case for Gabriel, who struggled to keep up with his father's legacy, in both a physical and mental manner. His father expected only the upmost commitment from his healthy and eldest son. Many of the children in Falkran avoided him, due to the time he spent trying to perfect himself, rather than play or take part in their games. However, his world came crashing down and spiraled out of control when his father was killed in action. The young Gabriel struggled soon after, having lost the one person in his life that he sought approval from. He resorted to thrill-seeking, provoking the guards within Falkran by joining small gangs filled with troubled boys like himself, and earned a reputation for causing small instances of mayhem, such as disturbing the peace and theft. Gabriel's mother, a cripple bound to a makeshift wheelchair, became increasingly worried by his behavior soon after his father's death. She knew that his lifestyle even before the tragedy was unhealthy for a boy his age and always sought to comfort the boy. When a particularly brutal scuffle broke out with a rival gang, Gabriel took a defensive approach to a former member who was being harassed for his prior affiliation, having grown protective of the few people he opened up to. Unfortunately, his own gang abandoned him after the fight, believing him to have taken to favoritism to those outside of their circle, leaving him with a bleeding scar on his cheek. After returning home a beaten mess, his mother scolded him, and for the first time ever was able to reach through to the youth, who had finally poured out his true feelings; for once after his father's death, both mother and son embraced. Life afterwards improved, and Gabriel found himself working for the betterment of his community via delivering mail. Although his tarnished reputation in Falkran is a well known problem for Gabriel, some have begun to open up to him once more after taking notice of his efforts to turn his life around. Some rumors have even spread of him looking towards a military career...[/indent] [color=00A651][u][i][b]Affiliations / Relationships[/b][/i][/u][/color] [hider=Father - Philippe Moreau][[img]https://i.gyazo.com/852189a8b2094c8ba84515e6b392ec92.png[/img] [u][i][b]Status[/b][/i][/u] [indent][color=ed1c24][i]Deceased[/i][/color][/indent] [u][i][b]Relationship[/b][/i][/u] [indent]For most of Gabriel's childhood, Philippe took special interest in developing his son into a future warrior in service to Paradis, The Walls, and all it's territories. As a reputable and successful Captain in the Military Police, much of his free time was either spent training Gabriel or seeing his wife while the children were asleep. For unknown reasons, he never took his family with him to Wall Sina whenever he was on his long periods of duty. Despite his lack of time in Gabriel's life, the boy looked up to him with wonder and idolatry; Philippe, however, only saw him as a way to continue his legacy.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Mother - Isabelle Moreau] [u][i][b]Status[/b][/i][/u] [indent][color=00A651][i]Alive[/i][/color][/indent] [u][i][b]Relationship[/b][/i][/u] [indent]Although a cripple, Isabelle never let that stop her from taking care of her children. At first, the relationship between she and Gabriel was strained from his constant law breaking and dismissive attitude towards her pleas, but it ultimately changed when Gabriel came home in a battered state. Since then, Gabriel took special care in her and his three younger siblings.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Brother - Joseph Moreau] [u][i][b]Status[/b][/i][/u] [indent][color=00A651][i]Alive[/i][/color][/indent] [u][i][b]Relationship[/b][/i][/u] [indent]Gabriel's younger brother and second in line.
