[S-R] Gabriel — Description

Now Im not that new at this, but still kinda, I saw amazing art in st reverie and resubmitted to the group

Name: Gabriel Mansfield Volkov

Age: 16

Birthdate: (02/22)

Gender: Male

Species: Wizard

Orientation: Asexual

Ranking: Bronze

Magic: Light

Dead man´s rope I (offensive):
Summons light needless (up to 7) that sting the opponent. They don't do much damage but with time they begin to drain the opponents life and give it to Gabriel.

Dead man´s rope II (Offensive): One gigantic light blade follows the target rapidly to pierce him/her/it and deal a lot of damage. While doing this Gabriel must be focused and cannot move or the blade will disappear.

Dead man´s rope III (Offensive): Summons two blades that he can hold with his hands, the blades are tied to his heart by a light rope.

Personality:

Compassionate: Even if he wont usually aproach to others to calm them or console them, he usually can understand their issues if he has spend some time with them. He can even empathize with demons. (Deep down he can identify himself with them because of the suffering, but he is not that aware of this)

Honest: Doesnt speak much but when he has a something to say, he says it. He also feels that he has no reason to hide anything so if he is in the middle of a conversation he finds irrelevant or boring he might just say it and come of as a douche, he will try to say it nicely but won't be able to lie to be polite.

Confident (can come of as arrogance): Has high goals and ideals and moves towards them, when asked about them he answers honestly so for some this sounds arrogant or as if he were naive.

Quiet: Preffers to share intimate moments in silence, holding hands or listening to heartbeats, than having long conversations. Does not usually start a conversation.

Lonesome: He is not used to have company around, even the periods of time when he did have company he remained with that feeling of abandonment and loneliness in his heart.

Dettached: Never developed a deep relationship with his parents or friends at school, never had a favourite toy or thing, not even a favourite color. He sometimes feels like an alien, dettached even from this world.

Naive (?): Again, his high goals seem unrealistic. Sometimes he trusts others too much and gets hurt.

Akward: Sometimes because he is just there is silence, sometimes because he says something that is too private to be said out loud and other times because of his stare.

Biography: Born as any other human, raised as one to, he used to live a very normal life. His father and mother are normal humans yet he began to feel different at the age of 5.
He intuitively developed special bonds with other beings like small birds, dogs and cats, having the ability to feel their heart beats and be liked by them instantly. This never appeared odd to his parents.

He didn´t knew at the time, but his first encounter with demons was when he attended a private school at the age of 10. Two boys that appeared to be the same age as him used to be the bullies of his class, they bullied everyone but slowly began to harrass him more than others. Instead of getting angry Gabriel felt sorry for them, which made them be even more agressive towards him. The first time they tried to beat him up and swallow his pain (that´s what they were doing at that school) Gabriel felt very sad and began to cry, at seing this they prepared themselves for absorving the pain but what they recieved was sadness for them and compassion. A stream of Light emerged from Gabriel heart into their hearts, this took them by surprise, not only did this scare them at first but it also calmed their anger later and made them cry a little too. "I can see how you suffer, trapped in darkness in your hearts... darkness is a prison, isn´t it?" - said Gabriel with tears in his eyes and dirt on his face and clothes. After that day they left the school, he never saw them again. He is thankful for that experience and remembers it dearly - "Anyone can be saved".

He developed the strong belief that even demons have light in their hearts, and that they to can be saved from it. He understands darkness as ignorance, a fog that clouds our true self, and feels pitty or compassion for the ones that dwell in darkness. He made it his life goal to be free of darkness in his heart so one day he would be as pure and transparent as crystal that would let the Light in his heart shine, but at this time he was only 10 and had plenty more to live.

One day he felt the confidence to tell his parents about what he had lived, about demons, magic, etc. They listened and acted as if they understood so he went to school happy, but when he came back they had called a psychiatrist, they sat in the living room to talk about it, but the psychologist wasn't there to understand, he was only interpreting Gabriel´s words so he could put him a label and give him medicine or send him somewhere else. Gabriel felt frustration and anger towards his parents, they lied to him, he stopped talking and looked at them with sadness feeling like needless piercing his heart. Fortunately a phone call broke the tense atmosphere, his mother picked up the phone and froze "Where are you?" she said, and then opened her eyes wide "Honey, don´t open the door" she said nervously to her husband "Why would I...?" and the door bell rang, the mother dropped the phone and ran to her husband as the door flew open. A witch with long blonde hair was standing behind the door "May I come in?" she said, she looked at the psychiatrist who was trying to understand what just happened but couldn't process, and said to him: "It´s called cognitive dissonance. Look it up on Google." she walked in the house, looked at Gabriel and smiled, Gabriel was still holding in the frustration and anger, so he didn't felt surprised. "Let it go kid, they don't know better is just like with those demons at school. Remember?" she said, this shocked and alleviated Gabriel´s heart, she was right, it was just like with the demons, darkness overtook his parents hearts because of their fear and ignorance. How could she have known? Gabriel looked at her for a minute and then said: "Your hair is like mine".

He had heard of her before when he went to visit his uncle, he used to tell him about the witch of an ex-wife that took all of his properties, except for that house where they spent the summer, Gabriel never thought that his uncle was speaking literally of a witch. She is called Isabella.

The parents opposed but she "kidnapped" him anyway. Now they can't go back because they are being searched by the police.
"It doesn't matter kid, they think Im the criminal, you won't be arrested." she said while they were hidden in a car, dressed in disguise, being taken to the airport by a butler with a funny hat.

She took him to her home, a big mansion somehow hidden near a small village called Tsovkra-1. "But I don't know Russian" said Gabriel once they arrived "Well, I never go out, only for emergencies. That is what they are for." She pointed and two butlers with funny hats, one of them was the one who drove the car and followed them during their trip sometimes "They speak Russian." The other butler smiled and waved. Gabriel was feeling better already.

Even if he was at a place where he could practice magic and with a relative that could help him and teach him, he was feeling alone and forgotten, he made friends with little animals and the two butlers, which coincidently had been hiding animal ears under the funny hats, yet still felt lonely.

"It doensn´t matter kid..." his aunt once said while they were both drinking tea in the backyard. "They world might forget you, it might judge you or try to get rid of you, but you must not forget the world. We are different not because we can use they light in ourselves, we are different because we can understand the darkness in the hearts of others and help them." How did she do that? "Can you read my mind?" he asked, she laughed "I just have a lot of experience."

A strange afternoon a letter was delivered to his aunt, she didn't opened it "This is for you kid" Gabriel is now taller than her and has grown strong from helping the villagers with some chores. "That´s weird" he said, but the envelope had his name on it "I have nothing else to teach you, but this is still your home." She said "Why do you tell me this? You say it as if I was going to go somewhere" he said, which made Isabella smile.

Likes: Honest one on one conversations, tea, nice and exotic clothing (like her aunt´s), Aemis (he is fond to them because of the buttlers that were nice to him), holding hands, nature, reading (specially books like the Kybalion and of James Allen).

Feels akward for him: do small talk, being given hugs first or surprise hugs, being complimented too much.

Dislikes: Loud noises, tumultuos environments, smoke, feeling like he is being lied to.

Additional Information:
He sometimes spontaneously holds the hands of others when he feels close to them, this happens because it is his way to open up his heart to them. He appreciates real frienship but also likes his alone time, so he puts quality over quantity.

His aunt cut his hair and pierced his left earlobe. He learned spanish at school and some russian from living with his aunt.

I´m planning to turn him into an angel or a vampire, depending on how the story unfolds.
