Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

Theis watched his comrades partake in the camaraderie; these days off were always great, and Theis thoroughly enjoyed them. He looked up at the clear blue skies and saw the cargo plane flying overhead, and the eventual figures of the rest of his friends skydiving downwards. While Theis was trained in airborne operations, he always did prefer to keep his feet on the ground. The divers looked like bullets whizzing through the air and as their parachutes were deployed, they immediately changed to look like clouds floating down towards the earth.

Theis had resigned himself to simply enjoy his own peace and quiet, and just have a nice calm day. One hand in his jeans pocket, and the other holding a bottle of beer, Theis had leaned back against a nearby tree and watched grill do its work. He had zoned out into blissfulness when Aleksandra touched down a short distance away. Her entrance brought him back to reality.

Aleksandra had offered anyone to join in her quest for food, and while Theis didn’t mind burgers and hotdogs, he never did have a chance to check out the country. Even if it would only be a small corner of the Britain, some was better than none. “I’m in, Alek. It would be nice to see what the UK has to offer.” Theis downed the rest of his beer and strode up next to Aleksandra, “Anyone else,” he asked.

Well. . . I've been away for a little while, haven't I? I sincerely apologize for that. I'll get a post up tomorrow evening. I'll go ahead and say Theis will probably head out with "The She-Wolf." Military service didn't give him much chance to see the UK.

@SouffleGirl123 He's about average 5'10" or 178cm, whichever method you use.

I totally knew that was gonna happen. Honest. Lol. On another note; Gabriel is Farmer! A Farmer! I get the feeling "Cowboy" is gonna stick and Gabe's just gonna have to deal with it. Oh well, better than most things I suppose.

Gabriel Davidson

Obstacle Tower

Gabriel sat down in between his dog, Sparta, and Eli. He immediately started petting Sparta, and the dog responded by wagging his tail. The comparatively small group was quickly growing on account of the fact that someone finally became the victor. Gabriel looked over to see the winner standing on the top platform; someone he didn’t recognize, though that would probably change in the coming times. Two of the contestants, and another person that was a bit later to the action than he had walked up. The first female he kinda recognized, Elena I think? and the second was his younger half-brother, Charlie. He was a decent guy, that helped get situated in the cabin. Gabriel thought it was pretty cool at the amount of information Charlie had in his brain; always the possibility of an interesting conversation. The second girl he didn’t know at all. Judging by her accent though, it was possible that they both grew up in similar circumstances, or at the very least, in the same region of the country.

Gabriel noticed Syleste stutter and blush but it didn’t register until Elena had made the comment about her having a crush. Probably meant more as a joke, but what if it were true? Gabriel’s own face grew a tad warmer at the prospect. Gabriel wondered of ways to get her alone, but quickly dismissed the idea for another time. He then cleared his throat, however, and remarked, “I don’t think ‘cowboy’ is the best moniker for me, Erin. Try ‘farmer,’ at least that makes more sense for me. Them Texans are a breed all their own. And hi Syl, I take it you’re a lot happier now that Matt is here.” College, huh? So, apparently Matt was only a part-time camper. Interesting note.

Gabriel chuckled at Charlie’s comment on the Hermes kids, “I’ll try to remember Charlie, and hopefully you’ll heed your own advice.” Gabriel turned his attention back to Elena,”I think everything is going well, at least for me anyway. I’m started to meet new people. Speaking of which, “ Gabriel turned his gaze to the red-head that came up last, “hello, my name’s Gabriel. A pleasure to meet you,” he finished with a simple wave.

Gabriel Davidson

Cabin Seven ~ Obstacle Tower

One of the last few noises coming out of Cabin Seven was that of Gabriel finish playing his rendition of “I’ve been watching you,” by Rodney Atkins. Gabriel would play this song at least once every couple of days. Both he and his dad both loved the song for it reminded each other how strong their bond is to one another. Gabriel’s dog, Sparta, was simply laying down on the couch seat next to him, listening to the music. As the last note flitted out of the guitar and into the air, Gabriel came back to reality and Sparta raised his head out of curiosity. The cacophony of cheers soon filled the room, I wonder what everyone is hootin’ and hollerin’ about. When Gabriel stood and Sparta did the same, they both went to Gabriel’s room. He sat his guitar back in it’s stand that rested at the foot of his bed, grabbed an Atlanta Braves ball cap, and the duo went to exit the cabin.

As he breached the door’s threshold, he could tell what everyone was screaming and cheering about. In the distance, he could see the large and looming Obstacle Tower. Gabriel was still fairly new to the camp, and has yet to take a chance at navigating the tower. Most everyone in camp must have been at the tower, since he only saw a sparingly few other campers milling about. Some were doing a bit of extra work, while others looked plain disinterested in the tower and decided to hang out with their friends around their respective cabins. “Come on, boy,” Gabe said in combination with a pat on his leg. Sparta immediately obeyed, and the pair made their way to the Obstacle Tower.

Since Gabe was still new to the camp, he was still learning where exactly everything was. He learned all the important places, but a few still escaped his mind; specific cabins mostly. Thankfully though, the tower was large enough to spot from a distance, so he had no trouble finding his way there. Sparta continued to trot next to his best friend, and the two soon came upon the ring of bleachers that held the tower within. From outside, he could already see participants near the top of the tower, even a few he recognized. Once he entered the arena, however, the full force of the cheering and excitement hit him. Gabriel scanned the stadium and saw a few familiar faces. The two he recognized the most, however, was that of Erin and Syleste. Erin had shown him, albeit annoyed, around the camp when he first arrived. While she was standoffish and broody, Gabriel didn’t mind her as much as others, and as long as they both got along, he had no problems. Syleste, however, was the complete opposite. Gabriel wondered sometimes how the two were friends. When Gabriel first met Syleste, he instantly had a crush on her. Her attitude about the world simply rubbed off on him every time they spoke, and Gabriel couldn’t help but feel that much better while being around her. When he learned of her disability, it made Gabriel that much more attracted to her; she wouldn’t let anything keep her down. Syleste had a blindfold on today, and while Gabe would rather see her eyes, he accepted the fact she would do what she wanted.

With it seeming like the tower was to be finished,, Gabe resigned himself to simply watch and possibly find patterns with the automated machinery. He watched a small group form around the aforementioned females, and Gabriel figured now was as good a time as any to meet new people. With Sparta following close behind, they each climbed the stairs and made their way to where the group was. Sparta jumped onto a seat a couple of spots away from a young african-american boy. “Afternoon everyone, hope I’m not intrudin’. Name’s Gabriel,” he said nodding his head to both the boy he believed was called Eli at some point and the red-head standing behind Syleste.

@Vicier Thanks for the positive feedback! To be honest, I'm a little surprised that no one else has made a similar character before.

I'm working on an opening post now and will have it up hopefully tomorrow.

Holy Hell! Finally, a finished character sheet that is LONG overdue! SO sorry it took me this long to finish it. Please, let me know if you see anything wrong my sheet, and I'll gladly fix it up. Thanks for your patience, and I look forward to playing with all of you.

~Personal Information~

Personality: 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.

Skills:

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.

Biography:
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.

~Demigod Information~

Demigod Abilities:

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.

~Weaponry Information~

Weapon/s: 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

Xiphos = Honor
Shield = Respect
(He named his weapons this way, to remind him of the three most important traits he must uphold.)
