EYES A brilliant shade of resplendent blue, Gabriel's eyes are a mimicry of the ocean. Impishly playful at their best and tumultuously malevolent at their worst, his eyes are extremely expressive of all his emotions. Full of mischievous malice, smug arrogance, or taunting jest ordinarily, Gabriel's eyes have been also known to reflect a softer and more adoring tender expression to those he deems deserving of it. However, like the ocean, the deeper you stare, the darker his gaze often gets.
HAIR A deep shade of warm chocolate brown, Gabriel's hair is a thick and shaggy mop cropped usually right above his ears. To accentuate his thick head of hair, Gabriel is most often found sporting a close-shaven goatee, hating how boyish he appears when he's completely clean shaven.
BODY TYPE Slim and lithe, Gabriel does not appear to be athletic but is built for speed, stamina, and strength. Do not understand his appearances.
HEIGHT 5'7"
WEIGHT 146 pounds
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES Having lived for over three hundred years, Gabriel has also earned his fair share of battle wounds and consequently, sometimes gains some scars in the process. In particular, he has two scars that are noticeable. During his fight with a female Hunter he killed eighty years ago, she managed to slice a jagged, diagonal cut up the length of his left forearm before he slaughtered her. The scar still remains. And of course, there are the two puncture wound scars right above his shoulder that he got when he was sired. On his right shoulder, Gabriel also has a tattoo of the royal coat of arms of Scotland along with Scotland's royal motto underneath it-- "Nemo me impune lacessit". Or "Nobody harms me with impunity".
STYLEPrideful but not so bone-headed to choose fashionable over comfortable, he opts for the latter. Picking clothes that are suitable for fighting and feeding, he is also careful enough to pick clothing that is relevant to the current generation's style. Weirdly enough, however, he is fond of button-down shirts and large duster jackets.

LIKES

• Calling people out on their untrustworthiness
  
• Causing mayhem - The more mischief, the better...
  
• Surprises - He likes to be kept on his toes.
  
• Pizza - Any kind of pizza will do... excluding sardines. He's a pizza addict.
  
• Thunderstorms - He finds them oddly calming.
  
• Playing piano - Unwilling to learn another language in all his years of living, Gabriel instead took up learning the language of music. He finds it relaxing.
  
• Taking naps - He can be very lazy when given the opportunity.
  
• Instigating fights - He really can't help himself.
  
• Getting his way - If he doesn't, he has a fit.
  
• Massages - Preferably naked.
  
• Public displays of affection - He likes taunting the prude people of the world.
  
• Driving - It's a freeing experience.
  

DISLIKES

• Hunters - This is self-explanatory...
  
• Disloyal, untrustworthy people
  
• "Newborn" vampires
  
• Stupid, immature teenagers
  
• Elderly people
  
• Children
  
• ...He hates everyone - He really doesn't discriminate, he just despises everyone.
  
• Country music - He thinks hillbillies shouldn't be allowed to make music.
  
• Losing or being forced to walk away from a fight - He's a sore loser entirely.
  
• Churches - This is self-explanatory.
  
• The Twilight series - He's never read it and he never plans to but the plotline sounds humiliatingly ridiculous to him.
  
• Romantic comedies - He'd rather be splashed with holy water than watch one. Or so he says...
  
• Complete silence - It unnerves him.
  

STRENGTHS

• Superior strength and speed - Being a typical vampire, Gabriel doesn't have any other exceptional skills. However, his many years of being a vampire have sharpened his pre-existing skills, making him a force to be reckoned with.
  
• Human, er... vampire lie detector - Gabriel's attentiveness to and hatred of disloyalty and distrust have made him especially adept at figuring out when people are lying or when they are hiding something.
  
• Ability to admit when he's overpowered - He's not excessively cocky or overly confident and knows when he's in over his head and when to back down.
  
• Exceptional caution and forethought - It's this caution coupled with his quick thinking that have led him to live this long in the first place.
  
• Relentless determination - If Gabriel wants something done or necessitates something as a priority, he will not stop until the job is done. In this way, he often has a one-track mind.
  
• Simplicity - Gabriel prefers simplicity as opposed to complexity when formulating plans or schemes which (usually) prevents his plans from backfiring or being destroyed.
  

WEAKNESSES

• Inexperience in fighting with weapons - Even though Gabriel is not in any means inadequate with weapons, he prefers to fight just solely using his own strength and abilities, which may be a disadvantage when he's paired with an adversary who knows how to use weapons well.
  
• Thrives on emotions - His emotions sometimes get the better of him which can leave him open to vulnerability.
  
• Intolerable impatience - Gabriel is perhaps, one of the most impatient people ever to exist. Having a short attention span and a contempt for almost everyone, he is most difficult to get along with.
  
• The instigator and the easily instigated - Not one to pass up a good fight, Gabriel loves to taunt others and consequently, is also easily taunted himself. Once pushed too far, he hardly ever backs down.
  
• Bratty, spoiled, difficult - Self-explanatory, Gabriel is one individual who is almost incapable of tolerating.
  

HABITS

• Writing music that correlates to his current mood
  
• Taking a minimum of three showers a day
  
• Eating human food although his main diet is blood
  

FEARS

• The apocalypse
  
• Getting into a situation where he's in over his head
  
• Finding and subsequently losing his soulmate - though he'd never admit it
  

DESIRES

• Create complete chaos through destruction, devastation, and death. He also wouldn't mind taking down some Hunters and also ensuring that the Dark side wins over the Light.
  

SECRETS

• Though Gabriel loves his sire, Cerelia, he's getting more and more frustrated and bored with her. He is not actively on the search for a new "playmate", but he has admitted to himself that he can do without Cerelia. He feels slightly guilty since he knows he owes Cerelia for his eternal life but he can't change how he feels.
  

OVERALL
Bitter and cynical through and through, Gabe prefers to work with just a few select individuals, openly opposed to large "packs" due to his distrust of the majority of the world. If he had it his way, he would prefer to work alone most of the time, but as stubborn as he can be, he understands the value of the level of chaos a small group can create. He tends to not get along well with others. He hates the frustrating inexperience, and almost naivety, of "newborn" vampires most commonly used as minions and after their part is over, he often has a tendency to kill them. But as much as he hates "newbies", there is nothing he hates more than the self-proclaimed "big evils" that come into town and demand everyone's attention with their big, empty promises to "destroy everything".

One thing that Gabe does thoroughly enjoy however is torture. Feeling that death is too fast and too-shortlived, Gabe often tortures his victims first, pleasuring in all the little details of their expressions and the sounds they make as they plead for their lives. He never quite understood the meaning of the phrase, "don't play with your food". There is a method to his madness and sometimes he'll seek out the untrustworthy, the cheating, the lying, or the otherwise deceitful people of the world and kill them. Even though killing innocents does excite him, his contempt for distrust makes him beyond ecstatic when killing a distrustful individual. And another thing, Gabe lives for surprises...if he can surprise his victim first, it makes it all the more enjoyable for him.

Reflecting his killing methods, Gabe loves to instigate, bully, and argue although he's careful not to augment a trivial issue. He hates triviality. However, he is a spoiled brat and will do anything to get what is he wants. Despite his apparent ruthlessness, Gabe does thrive on emotion and tends to make his own feelings known. He's not one to bottle up his thoughts and hide them--when he's upset, others will know. He does not think that displaying his emotions out in the open is a sign of weakness and in fact, he thinks that hiding emotions is idiotic.

OVERALL
Born as an only child to a working class family in Scotland in 1904, Gabriel became the pride and joy of his parents. His mother's previous four pregnancies had all resulted in miscarriages and when she was finally able to bring a child into the world, she and her husband doted upon him. He was given continual attention and was so spoiled rotten, that he became accustomed to getting exactly what he wanted. With his parents wrapped around his little finger, he grew frustrated when others around him earned more attention than he did and it was through this way that he initially learned to hate everyone--that weren't his parents of course.

He loved his parents immensely despite the fact that their consistent attention was sometimes smothering. That was until he discovered that his father had started a passionate affair with a prostitute..and decided to leave his wife and son because of her. Gabe and his mother were both justified in their horror and devastation and with no income coming in, 24-year-old Gabe decided to leave his home town in hopes to find a better paying job that could support he and his mom.

It was during this journey away from home that he found a job as a horse farrier where he periodically sent money home to his mother. He found that the job not only paid well but he also enjoyed the fact that it required minimal interaction with other people--just horses. He hated being so far away from his mother but he was happy and proud knowing that he could support her while his stupid, disloyal father was screwing a prostitute.

One night, while working late, a gorgeous woman appeared, instantaneously captivating Gabe. Earning his immediate affections, the beautiful lady smiled politely and then vanished into the night. His heart still racing, Gabe attempted to run after her but it seemed as if she had vanished into the night. This cat-and-mouse teasing game continued for months in which the woman, who he would later know as his own Cerelia, would appear to him and then later, flee. Finally, his patience was coming to an end and one night, as soon as she turned to leave, he spoke out to her, begging her not to leave him. With this plea, Cerelia smirked before attacking Gabriel. Draining him of his blood, Cerelia didn't stop until he was within an inch of life before she finally offered up a sampling of her own blood.

Now a vampire, and with his adored Cerelia, Gabe set out on a path of vengeance, finding and slaughtering his own father. Taking his father's dead body to his mother, he had hoped and wrongly assumed that she would be proud of him and happy about what he had done. However, not only was she horrified about her ex-husband's murder but she was utterly petrified and disgusted about her son's monstrous transformation. Unable to stand the look of hate and fear in his mother's eyes when she looked at him, he proceeded to kill his mother, apparently closing his heart off to the world for anyone that wasn't his beloved sire.

After having toured all of Europe with Cerelia, the two vampires decided to head over to America after pondering the possibilities of either Asia or America. Wandering all over the country, Gabriel and Cerelia finally found themselves in Manuka where it became their own personal goal to cause chaos. They are part of the Darkness affiliation.

RP SAMPLE

The night was an uncharacteristically silent one considering the town’s positioning above the Hellmouth and the innumerable supernatural inhabitants that spawned from it. To the oblivious naïve, one would assume the chill autumn night to be a preface to an equally languid month of discernable calm. And yet anyone not foolish enough would recognize the signs of a churning and contemptuous rage, bubbling forebodingly beneath the crust of an inextinguishable malevolence. The air was simply humming with portents, the viscous entrails of enmity spilling from the guts of intended innocent victims.

It was becoming increasingly more evident that even though numerous creatures of the night were responsible for creating their own malignant chaos, there was one among them that presented the most deadly of omens. For this reason, the metaphorical “floor of evil” was handed over to one in particular—Gabriel Kallis. Over the last few weeks, he had been walking a fine line, his patience running intolerably thin. The massacre, while highly successful at its student slaughter, ended badly on many levels. The Gem’s powers were depleted, the trio was forced to retreat, and Cerelia had been badly injured as a result of her own blabbering mouth. Asriel had found and consequently beaten Gabriel with reckless abandon and fuck it all if he wasn’t just sick of being everyone’s punching bag. Not to mention the fight he and Claudia had had as well as the estrangement between him and his sire.

More than anything, Gabriel was just itching to blow off some steam.

His blue eyes were cantankerously glistening, an anxious smirk playing at the corners of his lips as he walked briskly through Danielle’s neighborhood. Gabriel always enjoyed being the center of attention and basking in the limelight. It was a trait foundered and encouraged by being born and raised as a spoiled only child and also by being Cerelia’s precious protégé and lover—although that phrase was now considerably questionable. Absolutely not discriminating against what kind of attention he garnered, he was not at all against negative attention. In fact, that’s exactly what he was going for as he stared up into the lightly luminous window of the Slayer and grinned widely. The bitch was in there somewhere. Probably settling in for bed, donning herself in some queer ass ducky pajamas, and scrubbing the crud of her pedophile boyfriend’s saliva off the front of her teeth. She was alone.

Stalking to the back of her house, he located her circuit breaker box and pried it open, perusing its insides as he found what he was looking for. Finding it, he tugged skillfully and removed the fuse, smirking contentedly as Danielle’s house was suddenly plunged into darkness. Not a single light remained glowing in her entire house. But Gabriel was “kind” enough to think of a solution for her—he would light the way for her.

Making his way to the front of her house, he crossed the street to her neighbor’s house, manipulating the bottle between his fingers as he did so. The bottle felt light in his hand and yet it was heavily impregnated with wicked cruelty and vicious intentions. Approaching the neighbor’s house—a cozy one-story home where a man, woman, and their four younger children resided—Gabriel tested the weight of the bottled petrol in his hand. Satisfied, he pulled a lighter from his jeans pockets and nonchalantly brought the flame to the tip of the rag that stuck out of the bottle. Deftly, he pulled his arm backward and slung it forward, watching as the Molotov cocktail crashed through the house’s front window and exploded in a fiery cloud of inevitable death.

Bringing a cigarette to his lips, Gabriel watched in morbid fascination as the fire made quick haste in engulfing the tiny house, licking greedily at the floors, walls, roof. Smoke billowed and from inside the house, an obnoxiously blaring fire alarm sounded. But the one sound that intrigued Gabriel the most was the frantic shouts of panic and the anguished cries of hysteria as the parents attempted to round up their children and get them out of the house. The vampire’s lips curled into a sneer—their tries were futile. They’d be dead before either firemen or Slayer got to them. Turning back to the Slayer’s house, a genuine smile of amusement claimed his countenance. He hoped he had given her quite a show. It was time he reclaimed some respect and power around these parts. Because fuck it all if he didn’t deserve it…
